Her Billionaire Lover

It's been exactly an hour since the six o'clock morning alarm rang, yet a young, beautiful girl of about twelve years of age was still folding herself on the bed with the blanket covering her. "Rica… Rica…" was the voice of a woman calling from the kitchen. Not getting any response to her call, the woman came into the room from a door on the left side of the bed. She was a woman in her early thirties. She looks as beautiful as the girl who was still sleeping, and from the facial resemblance, one could tell that she was the mother of the young girl. Her name was Edythe Reed, and was quite prepared to leave the house. "Rica…" she took off the blanket from Rica's body. Noticing that the blanket had been taken off, Rica slowly opened her eyes, "Mom…" "It's time to get up. You have school to prepare for." "Mom… I don't want to go to that school anymore…" Rica rolled herself on the bed, closing her eyes to return to sleep. Sensing that something was wrong again because Rica was used to making that statement anytime she got herself into trouble at school. So Edythe looked on top of the drawer which was beside the bed and there she noticed a note on it. Instantly, she knew what the content of the note would be because she was beginning to use them ever since Rica entered middle school. Edythe had returned late the other night because she had to do some over time at work. Being very stressed up, she did not have the time to notice the note, and Rica was already fast asleep when she returned. "Get up, I'm coming with you to the school." "Seriously?!" Rica jumped from the bed because it was a great shock to her. For the first time her mother agrees to go with her to school without her stressing much on it. "Sure. Do I look like I'm joking?" Then Rica left the bed and hugged her mother firmly. "That's enough. Go and get dressed, we are running late." Edythe freed herself from Rica's grip as she kissed her on the forehead. ***** Now both Edythe and her daughter Rica were standing at the bus station waiting for the public bus along with a few people of the same aim. Soon the bus arrived and people began trooping in and out of the bus. Both Edythe and Rica went into the bus. A few minutes after the bus took off, Edythe's cell phone beeped, and at that moment Rica had a clue on what it would be about. After taking a look at the cell phone, Edythe's mood changed as she looked at Rica sadly. "Why does this happen every time?" Rica solicited as she buried her face to the ground. "I'm sorry dear, I don't think I'll be continuing with you any longer. I just received a message….." "It's okay, I'm used to it already," Rica consoles herself, trying her best to prevent tears from rolling down her cheeks. "I'm deeply sorry but this is very important. It's for both of us." Edythe hands over a letter to Rica which she was going to give to the school authorities on her behalf. "Here. Give this to the principal. I bet she would understand." None of these were new to Rica anymore. Most times she was forced to think that her mother had them all planned but then she would have a rethink. Anyway, she received the letter from her mother. ***** "Oh my gosh… it's already past nine." Edythe exclaimed as she looked at the time on her cell phone. At this moment she was standing before the RockSolid hotel. It was a newly opened hotel, very big and beautiful. A kind that all people of high caliber would love to lodge. She had applied there as a cleaner and they were responsible for the message which she saw earlier that prevented her from going to the school with her daughter. She was supposed to be there earlier but she had to rush down to her current working place in order to take permission before coming for the interview which she was called upon. Rushing into the hotel because she was late for the interview. She hits a tall, handsome, gentleman who was in a complete back suit. Instantly she fell to the ground along with some documents which the man was holding in his hands. "Watch where you are going," said the man as he helped her get back on her feet. But she didn't mind that she was the one who had hit the man yet he offered and helped her get on her feet. Instead of being a reasonable woman by apologizing or appreciating him for his help or even help pick up some of the documents that fell. Edythe just continued her rushed down the reception where other applicants were also waiting to be called up on. On the other hand the man did not make an issue out of her reaction. He just shaked his head in disappointment as he picked up his documents that fell. Minutes later, a young lady, one of the administrators came out of an office with a sheet that contained the names of all applicants. The interview had already begun. Just as the lady was about to call the next applicant, the man who Edythe had earlier ran into came forth towards the office. "Welcome sir." The lady respectfully greeted the man as he entered the office where the interview was taking place. Instantly, Edythe knew that her getting the job was doomed because from the manner of respect which the lady paid to him, anyone would know ght he was the owner of the hotel. She recalled how she had run into the man and did not act reasonably before him, so she began to panic as she was no longer interested in taking the interview. Due to her restlessness, the lady took notice of her, "You. You were not here when we started? What is your name?" "Me?" Edythe pointed at herself as she pretended as though she did not know she was the one the lady was referring to. "Yes, you." "My name is Edythe Reed. I'm very sorry for coming late. I could leave if you want?" She gets up to take her leave. "No, it's okay. You're up next." Then a young man comes out of the office and he was believed to be the last interviewee. "Come with me." The lady walks into the office, and Edythe follows her.
