Tarde (late)
Ariel Miller is a journalist for a magazine called ‘Fashion Blush.’ She is from a middle class family where her father and mother both are software engineers. They wanted her and her dead sister, Hana to become a doctor.
She was totally lost in the thoughts of her 2 years ago dead sister and how her parents started hating her more because she chose journalism. It was when her eyes suddenly stopped on clock and she found herself late for office.
She ran out of her apartment and in parking area only to find that she forgot to take her purse with her. She went all her way to 5th floor through stairs because her apartment didn’t had an elevator. She reached her car again and this time with her purse.
She stuck in traffic for only 5 minutes but was 30 minutes late. It was because her workplace was too far away from her home.
And by the time she reached her floor, she was ready to be yelled at from Jada, her boss. But when the elevator’s door opened, she found that everybody was gathered around Jada’s office. She had to fish around the crowd to find her best friend, Olivia.
She asked Olivia “What the hell is happening here? Why is everybody gathered here?”
Olivia said “Where were you? It’s first day you are late. What happened to miss prim and proper, today? You are lucky Jada is busy having a meeting with the most eligible bachelor aka Matthew Adams.”
“Why is he here? Isn’t he the heir of Adams industries?”
She was surprised.
Didn’t you know he said his parents he wants some time for himself before he joins family business. He is our new editor.” She said while clapping her hand in excitement.
She was already annoyed at the obsession half of the city has for him.
But she can't do a thing about it. Even her friends talk about him in their lunch breaks.
It was like he was their favorite topic even before Matthew started working here, especially Olivia as she was in gossip department.
