Love, Money, Power

They say money can't buy happiness. No, they're wrong. Money can buy happiness. I had everything because of money: designer clothes, shoes, bags, EVERYTHING!. I never felt this happy in my whole life. I didn't know I would become rich that fast. Everyone was eager to know my secret. I grew up in a low-income family and was teased for having filthy clothes, shoes, and even hygiene. I didn't have enough money to purchase them. We had enough money to cover my school tuition and our mortgage. I was taught that if you're hardworking and disciplined, you could become wealthy someday with that personality. But it is incorrect; in order to achieve success, you must have the brains! Instead of working hard, I began working smarter. I began to concentrate solely on myself. I was alone with my father, grandmother, and myself. I didn't have any friends since I didn't have time for those things, but that was my mistake; I felt I wouldn't get anything from socializing, but by doing so, you will begin to make connections. I overheard folks discussing love. I have no idea what that is. I only know that love is a waste of time! But marrying a wealthy man isn't. I had a lot of friends who used their bodies to locate or marry rich men. It was a quick way to get rich, but it was dull for me since I needed excitement in my life. Because life is fleeting, I want to waste it on money and power. "Have you received the designer bag that I ordered last time from Lv?" I asked my secretary, but she shook her head. "It has been delayed because-" "Stop, I don't want anymore reasons. cancel my order" I said and sighed. She placed the files on my desk and left to take care of my order that I had canceled. I checked the files that she brought in. It was a background file of a trainee guy named Yorch. I looked closely to see his features. He has good looks. It is also said here that he's half American and half Korean. There was an audition last week, so the files that my secretary brought are the files that were accepted for the audition. "Eula, come in please." I called from the microphone on my desk. My secretary came in after she heard me calling her from the speaker. "Yes, ma'am?" "What's my schedule for tomorrow?" "Tomorrow will be the event for the launch of your clothing, ma'am," she answered. "How about the next day?" "You'll be having a meeting with CEO Hinaraki" "Okay, when am I free?" "On Friday in the afternoon" "Set a schedule then. I want to have a meeting with these trainees on Friday." "Okay ma'am" she copied and left the office. I stood up from my swivel chair and went near the window of my office. I stared at the city, which was full of big buildings. Before, it was a dream. Now that my dream has come through, I have nothing to ask for anymore. But how come someone like me has risen from all the hardships? ~~FLASHBACK~~ 6 years ago I received a scholarship to one of New York's premier universities, Yale. I was ecstatic after hearing it. I made money by applying for a variety of part-time employment. I need to make money so that I may live in New York. It was difficult, but it was ultimately worthwhile. Yale was my ideal college. I enrolled in a business class. I've always wanted to own a company and be a CEO. I expected to be proud that I had been accepted into one of my dream colleges, but after a few days, I became homesick. "Dad, how's grandma?" "She's fine, she's resting right now, don't worry" I sighed. I heard from dad that she fell on the stairs. It was a good thing that she didn't hit the stairs. "I'll be sending money over there for the hospital bills" "Don't worry about it Lusy, we still have got savings here. You've done a lot of it already." "But dad-" "Lusy, it's alright." "Okay", I give up in the end. I continued my days by studying diligently. I kept relapsing during my studies. There was also a moment when I was hospitalized due to stress. But I didn't inform my family since I didn't want them to be concerned. I made new friends but merely utilized them. They didn't have anything decent in them to begin with. I utilized them to develop relationships with wealthy people, and I also had a programming and AI-building passion. In my spare time, I began developing a little robot that may serve as your comfort zone. After I finished making the robot, I began sharing it on various social media channels, where it quickly gained thousands of likes. I even received mail from various businesses. I accepted a company, a digital and technology marketing firm that designs thousands of artificial intelligence products. From there, I started having my own business, called the Luxy.
