CHAPTER 1
"SINCE this project needs very special attention and it has to be done perfectly, so I have decided to make Daisy as project head" everyone clapped cheerfully as I took the file in my hands.
"thank you Mr.Adams, I am honored to be the project head of this skillful team." I raised my hand to show my gratitude. everyone clapped once again, the cheerful faces of my colleagues say that they had already accepted me as their head. "okay then, I wish you all the best miss wright" saying this Mr.Adam took his leave from the conference room. collecting my files, I started making my way towards my office when a happy voice called
“Daisy!"
I turned to see my best friend jumping like a jackhammer "oh my God! I am so happy for you my cutie pie, finally, your dream came true!" saying this, she engulfed me in a bone-crushing hug.
"Thanks, baby" I laughed
this project is one of the most important projects for this company, and I am trying to take it in my hands from last year, you see if you want to increase your knowledge and abilities you have to step ahead, so finally last week I volunteered to work on this project and looking at my work experience, Mr.Adam agreed. thankfully!
" hey! zoned out? " my best friend Samantha exclaimed!
"huh.... ahh, no actually I have a lot of work to do, see you, Sammy"
"no no no no no..... you are going to give me treat" Sammy can be persistent uhh!
"Okay, but after office”
"Nope, you are giving me treat right now. Mr. Adams already gave us half day. come on now" saying this she dragged me towards the cafe.
well, this is my best friend, she can be very loud and outgoing but still, she is my heart and my only friend. Samantha is an extrovert, she doesn't have any mind-to-mouth filter which makes her pretty noisy sometimes while I am an introvert. I can't do any work without thinking twice. Sammy and I became friends when we were in middle school, she saved me from a group of bullies. after that, we are pretty packed. she always encourages me to step forward, in fact she was the one who told me to talk to Mr.Adams to get this project.
"oh God! I can't believe this" she sighed dramatically at my zoning out.
I laughed at her expression. I ordered cappuccino and brownie with extra chocolate. while Sammy ordered a coke with chicken nuggets.
yes, we have opposite tastes as well!
"Have you seen Christopher Davis? he is soooooo hot," she asked out of the blue
"huh?"
"Oh please D, try to look around, try to see hot fishes around. its time for you to have a boyfriend. Do you want to die a virgin?" she exclaimed, this time in a loud voice.
"shhhhh, what are you saying Sammy. you know my condition I can't..."
"Oh come on D, you are hot. you have to see the guys in our office are interested in you. it's just that you won't give them any chance " she sipped her coke, "and about your condition, you are doing great. you are intelligent and have a hot body, all you have to do is talk more and then nobody will know your problem!" she smiled encouragingly at me.
I have a mild social phobia, which is why I have to keep myself in check while talking in public. I tremble while I am anxious or scared which is why I don't talk to people easily. I was lucky enough that Sammy was persistent to be my friend otherwise I will be a friendless human forever.
"now back to Christopher Davis," she said dreamingly. "he is an epitome of hotness, have you seen his eyes, shittttt I so want to eat his lips," she sighed dramatically.
"what the..... are you serious, you don't even know him" I exclaimed!
of course, I know about Christopher Davis, a successful businessman who owns a huge property near the estates that my father owned in Virginia.
after having more chit chat we bid goodbyes, I was tired when I got home. after changing, I came out of my room to see my parents, they were in my dad's study, talking intensely. when they sensed my presence, my dad smiled but the smile didn't reach his eyes, "come, baby, we have a lot to talk" he said.
I can tell by the look that something was up, "Is everything okay dad, do you want my help with something?" I asked the thing that maybe some business-related problem is up in which my dad may need my help.
"no darling, but we want you to do something," my mom said with a tight-lipped smile
"what is it," I asked
" We want you to marry one of your dad's business partner"
what?
