Ella's Revenge

CHAPTER TWO

# Perfection and Luxury

********

Ella had been planning this revenge for as long as she could remember. All the pain and hurt she felt as a child motivated her on why she must come to New York to get back at the man who killed her father.

At the day of her father's funeral, Ella was still clinging to her teddy bear, she wore a black straight gown, her eyes was swollen and teary. Her aunty was standing with a strange man, they seems to be having some argument. Ella was in the living room, while the both of them were at the hallway. She barely paid attention to what they were saying but she managed to pick something Jane said:

"That bastard must pay for murdering my brother, he can't be left off the hook like that"

Though Ella couldn't grasp what the stranger said but by his gestures she could tell his response wasn't satisfying to her aunt. Her aunt couldn't say anything further, probably got speechless from something the stranger might had said. She turn to Ella and feign a smile but Ella plainly stare at her in return.

Nights had been terrible for little Ella. Every night she'll have nightmares. One night she was screaming bitterly over a nightmare "Daddy!" She cried. The thunder cried along with her. Jane had to run to her room and try to make her stop crying. It has been like that night after night since his death.

**********

Ella was still frozen on the ground, someone just heard what she said, that meant trouble. She needs to do something, but what can she do. All these while she had been frozen in that same position. She summoned up courage and turn back to see a black skin advance woman wearing spectacles and a frown behind it. She tried to talk but words failed her at that point.

"That ain't gonna happen girl" The lady repeated with a black American accent "Because those shoes ain't the pair even Marris Walker would wear"

Ella frowned, wondering what does shoes get to do with what she heard. "Hope you know Marris Walker darling? One of the least important person here in New York" She explained "So those shoes are out of question. Don't get me started with the dress"

"Ah... Pardon?" was all Ella could afford to say.

"The HR just told me you're the new secretary of the MD here, ain't that right?" The lady asked.

"Yes"

"That's what I'm saying'" spread her hands to express her point. " Your Boss is Jason Rodger, the Jason Rodger with a high degree of hotness, you can't start work lookin' like one who train cats" She blurt

Ella looked at herself and can't point out what the Lady is saying about how she's dressed. To her and any other normal person she's dressed nice enough. But then that lady meant about higher class style. Of course people would expect the secretary of Jason Rodger looking like the PA to the Princess of England.

Jason Rodger is a man of luxury and class. Everyone around him are expected to be classy too including his secretary. As if Ella could care less. But if being classy would be a ticket to come closer to him then she's ready to be as classy as Vera Green herself. Jason is the ladder that'll get her to Peter and she'd already gotten everything planned out.

"Of course" Ella agreed "Silly me. I promise to look my best when I come tomorrow"

"Thank goodness that ain't the best" The lady said more likely to herself. "Anyways, I'm the personal assistant to Peter Rodger"

"Peter Rodger?" Ella grew more interest "Is he here?" Curious

"Na, He's at headquarters, I'm here to grab him some stuff" She answered.

"Oh, so I'll take my leave now" Ella said losing interest and exit with a smile. And to think she was busted she laugh inwardly and she made her way to the exit

That night seems endless for Ella, she'd watch and pray the moon to go down and the sun to come up, she'd anticipated and prepare herself for the next day. Her eyes was fixed on her phone where she studied more about Jason Rodger. Few pictures of him pop in her phone from the site she's making her research.

Jason Rodger is a white skin American hottest who's very tall and attractive. His eyes are very seductive and brown matching with the colour of his hair. His pink lips are radiant and intimidatingly tempting, with a perfectly shaped pointed nose, he's what they call 'perfect creation of God'. His appearance is screaming perfection and luxury. His name was reigning all over the internet as the richest and hottest American playboy. He has over a billion followers. His fame grow wider and wider by the day.

Ella read a highlight that states "Jason Rodger proposed to Katie Evans" Above the highlight is a picture of Jason and a beautiful white lady.

Katie is a famous Fashion designer in the whole of USA, she owns several fashion show in different city. Both her and Jason has been high school love birds till date.

Ella felt sleepy, she throw her phone to the nightstand and shut her eyes for a goodnight sleep.

The next day she resume work, this time she's elegantly dressed than last time. She was at her sit, going through some documents and at the same time looking at her watch.

"Damn, it's 10am and the so called Managing Director hasn't arrived yet. High degree of hotness they say, more like high degree of unseriousness" She said to herself. She heard two staffs gossiping her.

"She's not even pretty" One staff said "I wonder why they search far for a secretary for Jason where I'm over here, I'm more prettier than her. " She spat

"You can say that again, Jason deserve a more attractive secretary and she's not it " The other staff said. "She'd think she has achieved a lot being a secretary to the world's greatest celebrity, I'm sure she's planning to seduce him and make him like her, like the rest" She continued.

" Oh come on Tess, don't we all?" They both giggle. "I'm so jealous " She added

Ella felt sick in her stomach. "Trying to seduce him? Make him like me?" Repeat what the staff said "More like jumping from a cliff" She shiver on the thought of seduction.

Ella took some file and enter the MD's office. The office was large and richly furnished, Ella was in awe when she entered, everything was worth billions of dollars. The office is located at the top floor of the highest skyscraper ever imagined, the walls was made out of glass, the MD's table was large, white with gold edges which would cost a fortune. Several large portrait of Jason was hung on the walls. Ella can't help but to admire everything. She was no longer in this world at that moment.

Jason walked in, he was looking like a prince on suit with briefcase. He was focused on his phone didn't noticed Ella at the office. As soon as Ella took a turn to head back she suddenly jolted at Jason unexpectedly. Her eyes meant with his brown eyes and it was as if her heart skipped a bit. A thought she'd never expected crawl to her head "Oh my God he's hot!"
