Hiding with her twin from the domineering CEO

Chapter One Shirley's POV I sat on the couch in the sitting room, trying to create a new design for a cloth I came across while doing some research. I love merging my designs and some other designs I came across in the internet. I have a few of them and I hope that one day I'll be able to create a real one and I'll get famous for my work. As I continued trying to sketch my designs I heard the front door open and immediately a familiar scent filled the room and the next seconds more people entered and instantly I recognize the scent and my brother's and his friends. When I lifted my head to take a glimpse at my brother and his friends,greet them and get back to work, as I looked at all of them from head to toe. Trying to get back to work my gaze cut the person who was coming in now, I felt my heart skipped a beat before beating rapidly. Trying to to control my heart beat, I couldn't help but admire his handsome face and a greek god body even though it was only a side view, but I knew who possessed that body,it was no other person than Grayson Blackwell. I had a secret crush on him since forever and I swear never to let anyone find out about it and that's why any time I'm around him, I'm always nervous and stutter at times. After so many attempts the advat my gaze, I successded and finally continues my, and this time around I fixed my face to my laptop screen and with the help of my glasses and my messy hair I was able to cover my red burn cheeks. I didn't care that since they entered they haven't spare me a glance. “Shirley, where's mom, she doesn't seem to be around”. Ethan my brother said and I was surprised my brother had finally noticed me since he got back. “Umm……”. Before I could say anything Ethan's friend Oliver had already cut me off. “How do you expect her to know when she's buried in books and her laptops all day, nerd!!”he said laughing and Chris joined him. I wanted to tell him to his face that I wasn't a nerd, but I knew he was right, I didn't even know what to say when Ethan had asked me and I was actually buried in my books throughout the day because it's way Saturday and I had no class and today wasn't the first time they had called me names like nerd and others. I didn't have any strength to exchange words with them because I knew I would later be the left being hurt. “What ever, guys come have a sit, let's not allow my sister to ruin our mood now”. My brother said, I felt hurt by his word but I don't let it show. Instead I brought out my earpods out from my bag to block my ears so I wouldn't listen to any other nonsense they have to talk, but before I put it on my ear I looked at Grayson for a while. When I was about to put it on my ear, I heard Chris talking about someone being engaged but I overlooked it because I didn't concern me. My bubble was burst was I heard my brother saying something. “Congrats bro, you're no longer a bachelor you've dumped us, but anyway you and Vanessa looks good together”. I turned to look at them, I knew the shock expression was very visible on my face that's why I hid it with my hair. Before I could utter anything I saw Vanessa walking in, she didn't acknowledge my presence like my brother and his friends. She went to where they sat, she waved at Chris and Oliver before hugging my brother before going to sit where Grayson sat. I wanted to believe they were making up a joke about Grayson and Vanessa but I couldn't because Grayson and Vanessa where flirting in my front like lover's. I felt my heart shattered into pieces, but I couldn't do anything. I was invisible to Grayson and I don't know if he would ever notice me. I couldn't stand them flirting with themselves,so I packed my stuff to go to my room upstairs. Getting to the middle of the stairs,my brother Ethan called me. “Shirley, we're going out now for a while to congratulate Grayson and Vanessa on their union, when mom gets back rely the message to her and don't tell Mom yet, it's going to be a surprise”. He said and they all left with Vanessa and Grayson,they didn't even wait for my response. I couldn't help but think how Grayson and Vanessa got together, because from what I know and have seen Vanessa isn't a one man type of girl, she's always with different man. I wondered if Grayson knew about this, but I know for sure my brother doesn't know about it and I think it's only me. But it doesn't matter because the way Grayson looks at Vanessa anyone could tell that he's deeply in love with Vanessa. Even though I try telling him about it,he wouldn't listen to me and he and his friends with end up mocking me about always being with my books, but I know they wouldn't dare say any other stuff about me in a wrong way because of my brother. I went into my room and shot the door, I stood behind the door and I felt tears strolling down my cheeks. I was heartbroken and I didn't want to talk to anyone or see them right now,so I shut the door lock, before going to my table to drop my laptop and table and my note pad. I wiped the tears but that's when it flows more, I went to my bed to bury myself and cry my heart out.
