Joanna stood up abruptly from her bed and check her clock..... f**k!,she is late for work.she blame her friend for not waking her up ,but she knows she only works at a club where she goes later around noon..
she hurriedly enter into the bathroom but slip a foot and fell down ..
groaning...she has a feeling,today was definitely going to be a bad day for her...
She look over at where her friend was sleeping sprawled.she shook her head...they were both bad sleepers.
Not really sparing a glance at her hair, she ran out of the house and board a cab to work.
**********
"And what time do you think you should be here, Miss Joanna rays?"Mrs Smith thundered
Shocked!,
she was just about to slip into her office when her boss Mrs Smith caught her..She crack her brain for a good excuse for coming late again,first week of her job....but nothing was coming from her dumb head.....she sigh and bow her head.
"I asked you a question"
I..I.....I think 8am ma..Joanna stammered avoiding eye contact with her.
"I will be giving you two options,
while everyone close 7pm,you will close 10pm,.....And while everyone resumes 8am,you must resume 7am" she said..
Or you submit your resignation letter to me ...she said smiling devilishly .
"I will go with the first options ma"
"Remember the day you break the rule,you have to leave the company yourself"
Joanna sigh....
This punishment is definitely from the pit of hell,she thought.
"So you can go to your office,your punishment starts today"And don't come to my company looking like a homeless person! she glare at her hair.
joanna nodded and ran to the toilet.....Alas what Mrs Smith said was true!
she absolutely looked like a homeless person with her disheveled hair...she hurriedly comb her hair neatly and walk back into her office....
Today's definitely going to be a long day..
*********
weekend came quickly,And a tired and excited Joanna quickly left the office to the house..she was happy to survive the hectic week.
she collapse on the couch as her mind wandered aimlessly towards her family...
Her parents wanted her to become a surgeon just like them but her dreams and aspiration is to become the world best fashion designer.....but her parents won't have it....They believe since they are surgeons then their children should also follow their steps....
"you are grounded anna"her father had said ,when she tore the form,that was given to her by her father for the school of the surgeons........."Go into your room and reflect,you are not allowed to come out until you are ready to go New York for your course" her father had said angrily...
A while later ......,her mother came into her room.
"Anna, you know we love you right?",her mother said trying to touch her hair but she won't allow it.
Nevertheless....she continue
"we want the best for you,my love
"you will go to different places and meet elites too....life as a surgeon is the best, believe me "
"mom you guys don't want to see my own point of view,I really don't have a brain to become a surgeon...I love fashion,I want to become the best fashion designer all over the world mom"Joanna said pleading....
"Joanna,I believe wat we said is the best for you think about it" her mother said and left her.
That was when she decided to run away from home,she knew she couldn't win her parents over,once they made up their mind about something.
************
Ever since then,she had not hear from them.Her ringing phone bought her back to the present.
"Hello babes,guess who I saw" her friend,Kylie shouted over the phone.
"erm...er.. dunno, unless you tell me yourself"
"I saw alex.....your ex, remember" she said and squealed.
Joanna gasp....."oh no...tell me this is not happening"
"what do you mean?, Kylie asked in a confuse tone.
"babe it is complicated,i.i...i really don't know where to start from"
"okay..okay...just calm down,when I come back..we will talk"Kylie said and hang up.
Joanna broke out in sweat.
