Working With Alfonso

CHAPTER ONE

"Damn, damn it".

Hearing footsteps coming to my direction, I knew it was casey.

"What's it Aurora" she asked with a worried expression on her face.

I bit inside my cheek and slowly pointed to my toe.

She looked to the direction were I pointed and looked back at me, but not with a so worried face but a red face of anger.

"You hit your foot, Right?" She asked with a careful steps moving to were I stood.

I just nodded, if I speak am done for.

I knew throwing curses weren't allowed in the house, but come on the damn bed had to stay close to the bathroom.

I was expecting her to yell at me, but she did the opposite. She sat me on the bed and joined me, raising my foot on her lap and gave me a massage.

I was shocked to speak, why? In other case, she will hit my mouth or tell me to watch her dirty laundry.

These is unexpected and I won't lie the massage is so refreshing.

I felt her stop her ministration and I quickly opened my eyes.

She was looking directly at me and came closer.

Whispering into my ear with a visible smirk on her face.

"The jar is requesting for money".

I looked at her in confusion, what jar is she talking about?.

"Jar, jar" still trying to figure out what she mean my that.

I looked back at her but her focus was to a certain direction and I too did look and sitting on my dressing table was a glass jar.

"s**t" I muttered.

"It was requesting for five dollar but you said another curse word so five extra will be needed" she smiled at me.

I totally forgot about the rules we agreed on.

The day before yesterday, we both made a deal, that curse word will be prohibited and whoever breaks the rules will place money inside it.

It would look like saving jar but that money would be used for rent fee.

"Seriously, it wasn't my fault" I pouted.

"Well it isn't mine fault, so..." She pointed to the jar.

I sigh and took my purse from the table and brought out a ten dollar bill and placed it inside the jar and it gladly sucked my dear precious money.

"Now, time to eat"she clapped her hands.

I smelt burnt food in the air.

"Hmm...casey i think we aren't eating this morning" I said.

She looked at me and to the smoke entering into my princess room.

"Oh my gosh, damn damn" she yelled and ran to the kitchen.

Well it seems she also will be placing money into the jar.

"This is all your fault Aurora" she yelled from the kitchen.

I just smiled and frowned when my stomach grumbled.

I too would be punished with no food.

Money is a big problem for me and i don't know what to do.

Every since my grandpa died, everything has become harder for me.

Casey wanted to give me some assistance but I refused, I can't take anything from her.

She comes from a rich home and we meant at college in my second year.

She study marketing and I engineering. She even bought this apartment, and let me say she has a good taste.

She made sure I don't pay rent.

After the passing of grandpa, I couldn't stay in the house. It felt lonely and reminded me a lot of grandpa.

Sometimes I just start crying in the house, been if its loneliness or missing my grandpa or the rejection of my parents.

My parents came to grandpa funeral but they didn't approach me.

I felt like a stranger to them.

They have there own company making them rich too.

Being the first child meant taking over the company which I didn't want.

I wanted to be dependent on myself and nobody else, I didn't wanna be like those rich bratty kids.

Children been born with silver spoon doesn't mean the wealth is for them, working hard to achieve it makes you important.

My siblings didn't think like me, they were leeches to their wealth and did so many scandalous things I can't even say.

Enough about them, am proud of myself and determined to make it without the interference or support of my parents.

**************

I sat on the sofa with my full concentration on the TV, casey has gone to work and here I am watching TV and jobless.

I went for an interview yesterday in my dream company and waiting for their favorable response.

Been the time say 12:00 o'clock, that means I can't expect their call.

Maybe they have chosen someone else.

Switching the TV off and slumped back on the sofa.

"The company isn't that special" trying to turn the company into a bad working place.

I sigh, "who am I kidding, working there means a dream come true".

'Andino International Enterprise Industry'. {AIEI}.

It deals with electronic system, manufacturing, repairs, inventory and so many other things.

The formal owner passed the company to his eldest son and he's been doing amazing work like his father.

Following the Company for years made me interested to work there, that too made me study engineering.

When my so called dad heard my desire to work there and to study engineering he went completely ballistic.

My dad own a fashion company, 'Fashion show event management company'.

He wanted my assistance in his company and knowing him he will make me one of his models, but I gracefully decline.

He was so mad that I didn't want to be part of his company and I rather be an engineer.

He even started insulting the company and the owner, which made me worried and concerned about the hatred he has for that company.

Currently my dear sister is one of the models and all her pics her everywhere in the city.

'A shinning star', which was given to her by her fans.

Not that I want to critize her or i hate her, but behind those innocent eyes and face is a demonic character.

Growing up with her made me see all this.

Still thinking and dreaming of working in the company, I suddenly heard the phone ringing.

I got startled and woke up from my day dream and rushed to the ringing phone.

I picked it up and waited for the person to speak.

"Hello".

"May I speak with Aurora Giordano".

"Speaking" I replied.

"Well miss Giordano am please to say you're selected to work in 'AIEI'"she said.

I was dump founded and couldn't speak.

"You still there miss".

I shakes my head and quickly respond.

"Ye..yes, am still here".

"Okay. You're to resume tomorrow by 7:00 and don't be late" she said.

I nodded my head has if she can see me and notice my mistake, and answered in word.

"I will be sure to be on time tomorrow" I replied.

"When you come the receptionist will give you an ID card, which will be an access for you to enter the building".

"Okay". I smiled and about yelling in excitement.

"Bye and have a nice day".

"You too" and the call hanged up.

I carefully placed my phone on the table and stood up.

Climbing onto the sofa and started dancing like a mad person.

"Wow....my determination and hard work wasn't in vein, my dreams are coming true" I shouted happily.

"Oh I can't wait for casey to come, we need to celebrate" I hurried to the kitchen to drink some water.

My throat is dry and cracked from too much shouting.

This is the best day ever and I can't wait to start working.
