I am standing in the balcony looking at the garden from last 15 minutes, when a lady a few years older than me who looks like a model with blue eyes, blonde hair and long legs walk towards me. She is really beautiful although I will never say it out loud.
"I assume you are Miss Johnson." She says in the rudest way possible. Ok! forget whatever I said earlier, she is not that pretty. Is everyone here so mean!
"Yes, and you are..?" I say in the most formal way ever. It took every bit of me to restrain myself from saying something sarcastic.
"I am Adria Parker, chief of staffs and here is the detailed information of Mr. Lewis which you will need while you are working as a assistant. You can start your work from tomorrow. And don't bother about making friends cause you are not going to stay here for long." She handed me black file and walked away.
What does she mean by I am not going to stay here for long and does she have to be so rude? I am about to explode right now. I want to beat her up. If it wasn't for the fact that this job pays really well and I need a stable and well paying job cause Lily have already started to go to school and I need to save for her future although I don't know anything about my own.
I am brought of my thought from someone standing in front of me. "Hey, I am Brooke. I didn't mean to but I heard what she said. Don't mind her. She is a good person but actually you are the fourth assistant this month so she is a little annoyed." She says with a small smile.
"Third this month!!! Its just 19th and already 3 have quit. Well although he sound rude but still four assistant a month is a little too much." I say with my jaw dropping to the ground.
"Not exactly. Those 3 have been fired. Actually, you might already know that he has a playboy reputation but he never sleeps with people working for him and if he ever does then he fires them next day."
"I playboy with self principles, it sounds funny. So, that's why they were fired." I really want to laugh hard right now.
"Ya and Miss Parker also like him a lot but everyone in the office knows about it expect for Mr. Lewis himself." She says shaking her head.
"And although it is the first day we met but I actually like you a lot and maybe we can be friends." She says grinning.
"Sure." I say shaking her hand with a big smile. I at least got a friend here.
"One more thing as we are friends now I am saying this for your own good, please don't fall for him. I don't want you to end up like those other girls, sad and heartbroken." She says with a worried look.
"Me and fall for him. Although he looks handsome, like a Greek god but I go for good character and personality which he certainly lacks. So, don't worry." I say with confidence assuring her.
And anyway its not like I have ever fallen in love. I don't believe in love either. I know it is weird but most of life I was home schooled and when I went to school there where only bad boys and nerds. Nerds never spoke with others and I like to stay away from trouble so, I kept my distance from bad boys. I had a few friends but I wasn't too close with them. I didn't even had a best friend until I met Olivia. Sounds dull, right! I spend my most of the childhood with books and gadgets. And it's also already obvious why I am so sharp tongued, why my communicating skill sucks and why my temper is a little bad cause I never had to take care of this things. No one messed with me but if they did then they would end up in hospital and I in principals office, so it is also a reason why I was home schooled later. I was karate expert after all.
I was brought out of my thoughts from Brooke waving her hand in front of my face.
"Oh sorry, I spaced out. Let's go to canteen to eat something. I am starving."
"Okay, and then I will show you around." She pulled my hand and I followed her to the canteen.
We both talked a lot. She also joined there just a month ago and was still new there, and didn't had any friends.
After an hour I return home change my clothes into pajamas and take the shortest shower of my life and crash in bed.
"I missed you my paradise."
Evening 8 o'clock in the living room
"Hahahahahaha! You are so pathetic, Cas"
"Ya, and moma you should be grateful that you didn't got fired on the first day."
Lily and Olivia are rolling on the floor laughing and volcano is erupting in my head. Ever since I told them what had happened in the office they both just can't control their laughter.
"I am going to kill you both. If I didn't needed money then I would have never did this job. I felt like quitting right there and then and throwing their attitude on their faces." I say sadly sitting there pouting. They both stop laughing and look at me with sad eyes.
"Mumma, if you don't want to then you don't need to do this job because of me. I don't need new clothes, toys or a bigger house. We can just live here. Although we are not rich but we are happy, right! You don't need to endure it because of me. Please just don't be sad." she says with watery eyes.
Aww she looks so adorable. No matter how sad I feel, just her being with me and her few sweet words makes me happy and all the problems disappear. I can't believe a 7 years old saying these things. She sound more mature then me. Before I was having second thoughts about weather I should do this job or not but now I am sure. I will do it for my little angel.
I put Lily in my lap and say "Aww don't cry angel. Mumma will be fine ok! Mumma will do her best in her job and no one will bully me. Don't worry, alright." wiping her tears.
She wipes my tears which are flowing like a water fall which I didn't even notice.
"And if someone will bully my mumma then Lily will beat her up." She says folding her arms looking serious and determined. I chuckle a little at how cute she is looking right now and pull her into a bear hug. I am don't usually cry but after listening her those words I could not help myself.
"Both of you stop crying I want to cry too." Olivia says in a sad voice. I pull her also to a hug and we give each other a group hug.
10 p.m. In Raging Night club
I am in sitting in bar chair sipping whiskey thinking about her and for the first time I not thinking about just her but also Castile, my new assistant. When, I saw her in elevator in first look I thought it was her. I kept looking at her unable to move my eyes. Even when she asked to stop looking at her I couldn't. I knew that it wasn't her when I looked at her properly but the way she speaks resembles her so much. I didn't wanted to let her go, I wanted to hug her and kiss her but I knew that it wasn't her and that thought made me more angrier. So I told her to get out. Now, I don't know how to react to her or how to treat her. But, first of all I need to make sure that she is not her. I call my personal detective to find out everything about her as soon as possible. He asked for a week time.
I was still lost in thoughts when suddenly Adria comes batting her eye lashes and says, "Why are you sitting here alone? How about we go and have some fun?"
I wink at her and led her to one of the rooms there. This is exactly what I need, a distraction.
But I am still thinking Why Does She Look Like Her?
