Chapter 4

　　"Wow! this place looks so gooooood" i muttered to myself in awe "…did I get the right room?" I questioned myself, while wondering why Mrs Stone would pay so much for my accommodation, as the place looks expensive.

　　'Well It doesn't matter now, I just need to muster up the courage to go through these documents or I'll be out in the streets,' I frowned after realizing what will be of me if i go against "Madam "stone.

　　'I know I can't run from her; I would have done that since I stepped into New York but, I don't have cash or anyone to run to and it will be hard to live without those essentials,'

　　"His name is Damon and he's just 24, well thank God he's not younger or way older than me, that would be extremely awkward if he was way older than me" I sheepishly laugh to myself.

　　Does She really want to set her stepson up?,

　　' It's not my business,' I thought as I shook my head '… I just have to do what I'm asked to do and then I'll be fine. All that matters is that I survive this brutal world.

　　" I know I'm out of options, but this doesn't feel right" I said abruptly and started feeling Ill-starred for Damon whom I've not met.

　　I am to resume work tomorrow by 7am, I confirmed still flipping through the documents.

　　I must rest now so I can wake up tomorrow and get on with this absurd plan

　　'...and I really hope he's not a nice and kindhearted person because that will really break my heart, 'I muttered to myself feeling sleepy after my stressful and eventful day, as my brain slowly shuts down replaying the activities of my day, from my stressful flight to the beautiful arrogant man i bumped into as soft whispers of the evening breeze cascades down my body, engulfed in the warm embrace of my bed, then I fall asleep .

　　'I would really love to be alone today,' Damon soliloquizes while pondering, on how he had completely forgotten about his mom's memorial yesterday, feeling very upset and beating him self up about his actions.

　　'And I also blame the lady that bumped into me at the lobby…,I think she did that on purpose,' Damon's intrusive thoughts randomly wandered, to make up excuses for his actions, or lack there of…

　　'I still think she did that on purpose' he mumbled as he shook his head, as if trying to shake off his errors from the previous day.

　　Besides forgetting his mom's memorial and bumping into the obnoxiously oblivious lady at the elevator, he also completely forgot about dinner with his Dad and stepbrother, which has been their family ritual for as long as he could remember, and that right there, was the icing on the cake that made up his disheveled Sunday.

　　He lets out an exhausting sigh

　　'I really don't understand why he still makes us have dinner at his house every Sunday,' Damon ponders as he strolls over from the full length glass walls giving him an overview of the city as the sun slowly rises, '….He knows I hate Jothan, I hate seeing the son of that whore who sent my mom to her early grave,' he huffs as his hands slightly curves into a fist, but releases it as he caught sight of it '...I know for a fact that he wants what's mine, and there's no way I'm going to give that to him,' he pulls out his sit from under his desk as he drowns deeper in his thoughts

　　'his step mother on the other hand has been oddly quiet for months and that's outright suspicious, God knows what tricks she'll pull off her sleeves this time….I know she's been trying so hard to sabotage my position as CEO but there's no way I'll ever let that happen, not on my watch,' he drops into his seat and leans in on his desk

　　'Today better be productive, I should focus on work and forget about yesterday.' Finally shoving his chaotic thoughts aside.

　　•

　　OH thank God I got up early today,' I thought to myself while rummaging through disastrous ways my morning could have started, while feeling grateful to the higher ups.

　　Everywhere was bustling, so full and busy…and it was just 7:05am.' I shook my head in amazement while fixing my shirt

　　'I have to make a good impression today,' I thought to myself convincingly ...apparently this was literally my dream job, so I feel confident that I'll do great.

　　I power walked my way down to the front desk that was occupied by a beautiful blond lady in her early thirties. "Hi, good morning, ma'am, I'm supposed to resume working here today as Mr Robert's secretary. Would you be so kind as to help me with directions to his office?" she asked with a bright smile on her face.

　　"Ohh ok you must be Naomi Steve, the boss made mention of your arrival… just take the elevator and head up to the last floor" the lady answered back with a warm smile.

　　"Ok ma'am, thank you" I said heading towards the elevator.

　　She's so nice,' I thought to myself of an involuntary smile crept on my lips

　　This building is extremely Mrs. Stone really got herself gold by giving birth to the owner of Zino's cooperation, a multibillion-dollar company.

　　As I got out of the elevator, I saw a tall and handsome looking young man dressed in a work suit standing just outside an office door with the sign CEO dented on a golden plate just above the door.

　　Could that be Mr Damon?' I thought.
