WINNIE DAVIES

The clock stopped...,ten minutes to eight , It was a monday , Another hectic work day for her ; Wiinnie hated Mondays as much as she hates Thursdays and Sundays.., Like.., those days were so boring for her .

she sighed , pried her duvet away from her body and got out of bed , stretching her arms over her head and yawning sleepily.

she sat on her bed side chair and fumbled with her stockings , she had to wear stockings to bed every night , it was a habit that stocked since her university days , she and her room mates would usually wear stockings to bed , Not just an ordinary stocking but the long ones which length stopped at their thighs .It became a habit and she found herself doing it often than the other girls even when she returned home on holidays and even after graduation, she never stopped wearing stockings to bed.

Winnie did her bed and arranged her room before grabbing a towel and hurrying into her bathroom, Sola her personal assistant would be calling anytime soon and she didnot want to miss her calls or keep her waiting, they haf an important wedding to attend and she was the personal makeup artiste of the day...

Now she wouldn't want to keep the bride waiting, Winnie wasn't known for that .

Miss Glistening which was the name of her cosmetic company was a well renowned company in the country and everyone knew how conpetent , stylish and accurate her workers were ; Her brands were most recommendable, she always gave the best.

winnie always felt joyful whenever her customers gave wonderful reviews about her product which was recorded as one if the bests. She was the face of her brand and the her own representative.

She was always proud of herself, she have chosen the right path , the best career , it was a great estacy that she was really earning from it , even if people were saying she got the support from her wealthy parents; it was an indisputable fact , it was partly true but she was able to kick start the deals herself, and she was getting wealthier and wealthier by the day while working on her project in LA (Los Angeles) . She was planning on living abroad permanently.

She have a house of her own and she could afford a house at banana island her parent's resident. She had two cars , one was a Lamborghini she got for herself after her graduation from the Prestigious Lagos state university Nigeria and the other was a Bugatti her father got for her on her 20th birthday... what more does she want???

there's one thing she always thought about; money wasn't everything. one needed love, care and protection; Yes her parents and siblings showered her with so much love , care and gave her the best of protection but that was never enough, she needed a man , a man who would stand by her. , hold her and love her through thick and thorns...

A true man who wouldn't be just there for her money , her body, her beauty and fame..., a real man whose love surpasses money , beauty , fame and material things , she want to be loved and feel loved just like other women out there .

Now, she was back to her shell, her thoughts haunting her .she waved thoughts aside , not wanting to mar her mood that morning. She hurried into her bathroom, she washed her mouth with hwr colossal pepper mint mouth wash having her brands name on it . She took her bath afterwards, dried her body and applied her body lotion , body spray and other body treatment creams.

she began to select an out fit from the numerous lots in her step in closet , now this was where she had an issue , selecting an outfit. What was she going to be wearing to the function today?? She thought out loud. The flowery gown her mum got for her on her last trip to dubai??? , No that was too expensive; The straight denim gown her twin sister got for her ?? , No that was not even an option.. She pondered.

what if she goes for something classic like..., "This??" she screamed out excitedly ,she have gotten the perfect outfit for the function , that was exactly what she wanted , she smiled smarmily as she held out a red sleeveless flayed mini gown ,

"Winnie....this is what you want, simple and demure outfit "She muttered and held the gown to her body and began to buga about; her phone rang ..., she hurried to her bed side table where she usually kept her phone and picked it up , she swiped the screen and picked up without checking the caller's ID , she thought it was Sola her Personal assistant,

"Helo Sola , are you already at the function??"—' I'm coming..'...Her voice trailed off when she realised it wasn't Sola all along.

"Hey sis, this is not Sola" Her twin sister's voice chirmed in,

"Oh Mandy , I'm so sorry , i mistook you for my P.A , i was expecting a call from her though" — How are you doing???.

Winnie had no idea she was speaking so fast, everyone says she does but well she thinks that was the simple difference between her Twin sister and herself. Mandy was so soft spoken ...and slow in speaking.

"I'm fine sis " Mandy replied and quickly added,

...................... "Sis, mum is so worried about you, you seldom come visiting and you don't even call her to know how she's faring"

That was so true , it's been over six months since Winnie last heard from her mum , what was she thinking??, she was so overwhelmed with working,

.... "Listen Mandy, I'm so sorry okay?, i have been so busy lately, tell mum I'm going to give her a call as soon as i get back from work and as for coming home , I'm planning on paying her a visit this weekend "

winnie Whined

"Really "Mandy asked not so convinced,

"Are you serious?, like you are coming home this weekend??"—"wow , i can't wait. mum, Dad, sister and brother have something install for you" she added

And what is that?? Winnie asked , she didn't know what was bubbling up .

"you will see, come home first" Mandy replied and with that she hung up .

just like that?? Winnie sighed and dropped her phone on the table and went back to her closet to dress up .

The clock ticked above her head as she put on her clothes and dressed up for work .She took her time brushing her hair , oiling and applying hair lotion and spray, she wore her nude makeup , slipped on a pair of her silver wedge and grabbed her fancy silver purse from inside her closet .At the end of everything, she stood before her colossal bedroom mirror admiring herself.

She felt satisfied with what she saw and she really smelt so good . Her choice of makeup brand was overwhelming, she used her own brand makeup and it gave her the desired results . Yet as the CEO and the chief Ambassador of Miss Glistening she had to make an exemplary use of her cosmetic products for the others to follow .

Winnie picked her phone and her car keys from her center table and walked out of her room.

she got in her garage , climbed into her car and drove off to work.
