Chapter 1 Karen signed loudly as she sat on the designed chair inside her perfect office which was much better and bigger than her whole house , drowned in her wide thoughts , As remembered the doctors words earlier towards her mum's health " Your mum's health is at stake ,miss and I'm afraid we can't keep her in our hospital any longer , she needs a better hospital where she can be provided better treatments and for that to be done , her payments needs to be paid , including the accumulated ones , her flight ticket also needs to be prepared so that she can carry out the surgery immediately if you want her to live longer " The doctor voice rang in her head again Like how was she ever going to get $50,000 to pay for the surgery which has to be carried out on her mum's kidney unfailingly a day after tomorrow What about the payment for her flights ? And the accumulated bills ? .... The months of payments she has lagged for , instead of paying them off ? She signed deeply , as she grabbed her phone to check her account balance She had nothing in there ! Absolutely nothing ! She had used it to pay off her sister's school bills Mila , who has been threatening her in school for some weeks now and now she has nothing left . She has nothing in mind to do No one to help , her step mum and along side with her daughter , Samantha had ganged up together and successfully chase them out of their home , seizing all their properties and parents investment snatching it as theirs after the death of her dad , maybe if he was still much alive Maybe things would have been much better She tossed her back backwards in disappointment and frustration , wondering why her dad could let them suffer in this kind of condition. She raised her brows when her phone made some sounds , as she stared at it , Her throat immediately went dry at the stare of the caller ID ... It was her boss calling , the devilish cold boss of her's , who despites her so much , sometimes she wonders why it was so ... She hasn't done anything wrong to him ever since she started working as an PA to him ... Okay maybe being a bit clumsy at work But was that enough reason for his unknown hatred towards her ? She held her fist tightly, wondering why he was calling ... She took the call slowly with a heavy heart " Boss... " " To my office now !" His cold voice sounded boldly , sharply and authoritatively from the other side of the call ,as he cut it immediately She immediately stood up uprightly dragging herself out of the office with some piles of files along with her . Still debating, wishing and wondering how on earth she could get such kind of money the doctor was demanding.. even more ! She can't let her mum die , she is the only one she has a long side with her ungrateful sister who was a very big pain in the ass , seeing every misfortune as her fault .. It really hurts to have an unsupportive sister like Mila ... On second thought, her mind immediately clicked on an idea ... Maybe she could seek some help from her boss ... But was he ever going to help her out from this mess ? She has always known her boss for someone who is always submissive to his work and married to his work as long as you are in the company and office and nothing else. Also he advises his workers to be like that ... He hates anything unprofessionalism With this was he even going to help her out ?
