Chapter One

Nova

Monday mornings are so annoying, I have to rush down to work, get everything ready for all of this crazy and rude clients.

The most annoying ones are the men, always making advances at me or staring at me like I am some piece of meat.

I looked in my full sized mirror not to confirm if I am properly dressed but to admire my beauty.

Funny you might think, but I am not the type of woman who depended on other people's approval, I am confident in myself.

It is all of God's fault. Looking up with my hand clasped together over my face I said.

“Forgive me God for you are always right” but it is your fault for making me this beautiful and attractive.

Standing 5.8 ft is a dream for a whole of ladies, in addition to that, I have an hour glass shape, I guess I can't really blame these men if they get attracted to me.

Looking perfect enough in my black formal trousers and white tight shirt, I pulled my hair to a pony tail, slid on my pair of nude heels and a small black bag, I felt ready.

I picked up my car key from my makeup table and left the room, on the dinning table were two toasts I made some minutes ago before deciding to complete my dressing.

I went straight to the kitchen, picked a mug and poured myself some hot coffee, came back to grab my toast and headed out, with a cup of coffee in one hand, my bag hanging towards the elbow of my other hand which was also holding my toast.

My neighbor was outside her house doing some gardening, she gave a very cheerful wave, which I couldn't return due to the state of my hands.

“Morning darling, have I nice day” I yelled out to her with a wide grin, getting a smile from her.

“Sure, you too” she replied and I went on to my car, wondering how I will open it? It's a regular routine, I placed my coffee mug right on top of my car, opened the car door, dropped my bag on the passenger side, picked my coffee and off I go. I could see my neighbor shake her head.

The funniest thing is that, I don't know her name, I moved in here two years ago, and she had always been here but not once did we get into any conversation longer than that which we had this morning, I never had time!

Work was the same, I walked in with so much confidence and flair.

“Good morning ma'am” I was greeted  here and there which I replied with a nod.

I am just the company's mouthpiece, you can call it that. My job is to recruit new models and also give them interviews which will be given out to Vogue.

Publicity is in my hands, reputation is in my hands, sometimes we sign contracts with already big and famous models or stars, it all depend on me. I am the backbone of this company.

I took a deep breath before turning the doorknob and oh, I had my breakfast on the way. Opening the office door which I knew will reveal my always gorgeous boss.

“Good morning sir” I greeted him with a wide smile which he returned.

“Morning darling, how was your night?

“Wonderful, yours?” I replied while heading over to his table and got myself seated on it, right in front of him.

“Could have been amazing with a certain someone, when did you start declining me Nova” I could sense the hint of pain in his voice, he is just not getting this right, fine we act like a couple, but we are not, to be honest he is just someone who relieves me of stress!

Love is not meant for me!

“You know how it ends up Drey, we will end up coming late to work” I whined.

“Who will complain?” He teased.

“My boss” I replied him, leaving a light kiss on his lips, maybe it was not meant to be a light one but someone just had to cough in the background.

Way to ruin moments, I quickly got off the office table only to meet the shock of my life!

Guess who!
