"I was just from having lunch when Mr Donald called me to his office."
"As I got there, he was seated on the couch with a magazine in his hand while on phone and guess what I saw him smile for the first time thus I guess the person he is talking to most be of great importance to him. so I waited and by the time he was done he turned cold as he concentrated on the magazine he was holding."
"Am going on a business trip and since you happen to be my personal assistant you are coming with me."
"Okay.....where are we heading to?
"The United States of America
"I gasp in suprise him seeing my reaction just shrugged it
"Ummmmm how long will we be gone? And again I don't not have a visa how am I to travel?
"A week and Don't worry we are using a private jet so prepare everything you will need we will be leaving tomorrow noon thus no need to be at work I will send a car to come pick you up."
"Okay sir .with that I left his office."
"You know Louisa wasn't all wrong but I feel he is extremely strict or should I say cruel towards me it's like his aim is to fraustrate me which I won't give him that pleasure."
"Since won't be coming to work in the morning I decided to spend the night at my parents place so I parked my bag for my tomorrow's trip while taking few for my sleep over."
~
"After I left the office I headed home first before heading to my parents place. I arrived, got inside the house where my parents were watching a TV show in the sitting room."
"Hi Mom, dad." Gave them a tight hug each before sitting next to them on the couch."
"We've missed you darling how are you and how is work? Dad asked
"Dad work is fine and I've missed you both so much
"Have you eaten I can make you a late dinner?".
"No mum am fine had my dinner already. Mum will be out of the country for a week my boss and I are having a business trip since am his personal assistant am required to tag along."
"Out of the country....? But darling you don't have a visa besides where is this business taking place
"Dad he said we are using his private jet and that's the United States of America
"You don't mean it
"That is my twin sister Lillian ears dropping on our conversation."
"Hello to you too Lily." I just rolled my eyes
"Ooh pardon my manners I was carried away when you mentioned your boss has a private jet. That means he is super rich yeah?"
"Lily dear your sister here works for the "Williams Corporation" and she is the CEO's personal assistant
"OMG you don't say, do you mean the most handsome billionaires as in Donald Williams?
"You heard that right."
" I shrug then she immediately moved with excitement as she takes a seat by my side." Trust me she too excited for liking.
"Tell me something is he into you or are you into him?
"I spoke-yelled. No am not and he is not
"Okay that's good. Please lidy can you introduce me to him please.........
"She pleaded making a cute puppy face to persuade me
"No way Lily am not introducing you to my boss
"Come on sis let me have him I promise I will share what ever I benefit from him with you equally
"I got disappointed with the way she thinks and talk again so I got a little pissed as I stood up."
"Mom, Dad can you hear her talk? "Lily not everything revolves around money jezzz and don't even dream about it cuz there is no way am introducing you to my boss."
"Saying that I left going to my room when I heard her pleading with mom and Dad to convince me."
~
" I got up the next day went to the bathroom did my stuff got dressed and headed downstairs for breakfast."
"Good morning Dad, mom
"Good morning darling." They spoke at sync and that's when my princess of a sister comes down too for breakfast."
"What are we having for breakfast mom?
"A good morning to you too Lily. That was Dad speaking
"Am sorry. Good morning Dad, Mom
"Okay everyone let's eat mum said
"So sis did you think about my last night request?"
"In your dreams Lily"
"I said that rolling my eyes."
"Mom, Dad say something
"She whined
"Darling it won't hurt you if you introduce your sister to your boss right?
"Mom not you too please."
"I was already getting irritated."
"Come on or are you interested in him?
"No mom am not."
"Then why don't you want to introduce your sister to him?
"Magret stop she doesn't want to so let it be dad said."
"But honey there is no harm in what Lily wants."
"I can't believe my mom is supporting Lily on this one too. There my patience is out. I took my napkin wiped my mouth dumped it on the table as I stood up startling everyone."
"You know what mum if you don't see anything wrong with what your precious princess here has been doing , I do and I won't let my boss be her next victim. You guys sit here while our precious princess here goes about extracting money from different men. I don't get it mom how on Earth do you expect me to feel when she looks just like me? Or is that how you were when you were not yet married to Dad?."
"There I felt a stink on my cheek that was mom slapping me there I heard the chairs move that was my Dad and my sister startled by my mom reaction."
"Magret , mom both Dad and Lily yelled shocked by her reaction."
"Young lady I won't have you disrespect me in my own house you may be independent now but I still remain your mother so show me some respect."
"Mum was really mad I could feel it from the way she spoke yeah I crossed my limit. I was in shock as tears welled up in my eyes."
"Do you both have an idea of what am going through, do you know because we look alike I've become the topic of discussion everywhere I go? Do you know the humiliation I face every now and then? How I just wish we were not identical then my life would have been very peaceful. Like I said I won't introduce her to anyone and I think me coming home is not necessary anymore since your princess is back."
"With that I stormed out of the house in rage as tears run down my cheeks. Thank God I had brought my things with me downstairs hoping to leave after breakfast but I could hear Dad calling while mum was crying but never gave any one the chance to talk to me."
