1041 Words
Her eyes widened as she read aloud the name, " DIRECTOR OF SWISS PERFECTION "
Sarah sighed and yanked her phone from her, " Oh!! I was also expecting that text,"
What? What did Sarah say? Expecting that text?
She watched as Sarah pressed the phone, and she shook her head, " I thought I told you not to accept his offer"
She replied playfully, " I know, but I thought at least I could give it a try "
" Let me guess again, you did this to spite the company? " She asked.
Sarah rolled her eyes and pretended to play dumb, " I don't know what company to smite, I'm just a girl of my own, "
"If you say so, I won't force you if you have carefully thought about it. You are a smart lady. Hmmmm…I have to get to work, "
She threw her head backward and mocked, " Really? Find you a boyfriend when you get there, "
" You're such an amateur!! " Natasha laughed and stood up.
" Bye!!, "
" Bye, love!! Tell your dad, I love him ,"
" Haha…. I'd rather tell him you want to see him dance, " She laughed before leaving the office for the elevator.

Natasha got outside the company, and took a few steps forward, which was precisely three blocks away from the company.
She stared at her phone and began stomping her feet on the ground.
Not long, a car came out of nowhere and stopped in front of her.
A man wearing a black suit and a black shade uttered, " Get into the car!! "
Natasha sighed ,and said leaning over to the car window, " I brought my car. Lead the way, "
" Ok "

Sarah was staring at her phone and touched her chest.
" I'm anxious. will it be positive or negative? I am so f*****g worn out " She sighed.
Her secretary came in with the memo and placed it on her desk, " These are the documents, ma'am ,"
She took the document saying," Ohhh…Thanks, you can leave ,"
She was about to leave when Sarah abruptly stopped her,
" Um…wait up "
" Yes ma'am, " She turned and stared at Sarah.
" Why did the director send me a straight email to my address? Wasn't he supposed to send it to the company's email? Strange!! "She asked.
The secretary replied, " I am not sure why he did that, but it might be a clueless mistake made even by his secretary…ma'am, "
" It's okay, I'll see what I can do about it. Strange!!,!"

ALDEN GOLDEN RESTAURANT
The restaurant was the height of luxury, its opulent décor and gilded furnishings belying the exorbitant prices on the menu.
In one corner, a couple sat at a table, their heads close together as they whispered in hushed tones.
The other diners were dressed in their finest clothes, laughing and chatting as they sipped wine and dined on gourmet delicacies.
But Natasha and Richard in the corner were different - dressed in business suits, their faces serious, they barely touched their food, intent on their secret discussion.
The silence between them after having being served their food was odd when Natasha broke it.
She screamed, taking a sip of her wine, " Speak up!! What have you called me for? I didn't tell any of my family members that I was meeting up with you, not even my best friend. So be nice"
Richard raised his hand in the air and said, "Woah!! I didn't know I was that much important, "
Natasha choked on her drink and scoffed, " You wish. Your importance is nowhere close to my dog ,"
" Ouch!! Then why didn't you tell Sarah? I mean, you tell her everything. Does it mean it really isn't over? " He raised his eyebrows.
Natasha shivered and folded her arms, " You disgust me. if you aren't ready to talk, I think I'll be at the firm, "
He stopped her hastily, " No. I'll talk, just having a little fun. But brace yourself up for the truth, "
" I'm listening!!! "

9 PM
Sarah was packing her loads, and she couldn't stop but look at her phone every second.
Her results made her addicted to her phone. Her anxiousness and stress levels were getting out of hand.
She leaned back in her chair and let out a long, slow breath. Her head lolled to the side, and her eyes closed. Her body relaxed, as if all the tension of the day was finally leaving her head,but the results weren't leaving her.
What if the results are negative? Will they accept me? When I run crazy, who would inherit all my money? Can good luck be bought with money?
Those crazy thoughts ran through her head. Nevertheless, she took a deep breath, calming her nerves.
" Be optimistic Sarah, "
She smiled and was about to leave when a call came in, it was Natasha.
" Hey!! Where are you? I was just about to leave the office. " She asked acting like everything was fine.
Natasha replied, " I am still at work, you can go home without me. When the results come in, please inform me "
" I promise to call you and text you the results unless something goes wrong "
" Nah, I doubt it. Be optimistic for once and believe in yourself. Don't worry, I'll keep up with you "
" Thank you bestie!! Bye!! "
" Bye, love!! "
She ended the call , got into her car and drove off.

SARAH'S MANSION
She got to her house safely and went into her mansion sighing so hard.
While she was climbing up the stairs, a notification came in, and considering the number of unrelated messages she received, she tapped on it.
It was from her LAWYER.
At this hour? why would he send her a message this hour? is it about the request?
Her heart skipped a beat, moreover, she summoned the courage and read the message.
Her bag dropped on the stairs and she mouthed," What the f**k???? "
