BEHIND GLASS WALLS
At just twenty-five years, she finds herself in a whole new world completely different from the one she grew up in. This new city is one that never sleeps nor slumbers, earnestly running on a 24/7 work system barely giving anyone the chance to catch their breath. With her best friend by her side, she sails through this unfamiliar way of life- long commutes, endless bills you name it. Life isn’t getting easier, but she manages to stay afloat and thrive.
After about two years of living from paycheck to paycheck, her tireless efforts finally pay off when she lands a new job that promises to be sustainable. For the first time in her work life, things finally seem to be going as planned. She earns more and is now able to send enough money home to her family and have some left for herself.
But just when everything seems to be perfect, things take a sudden turn left. A coworker accuses her of work malpractice, an allegation that could tear apart everything she has worked so hard for. With her reputation and livelihood on the line, will she be able to prove her innocence before it's too late or will one false accusation destroy the trust she gained from her boss and get her fired?

Chapter: CHAPTER 5-ADRAINI arrived at the IT department, and I could immediately tell that everyone was glued to their computers, desperately trying to solve the issue. I called out the Head of department, Avery, to give me a rundown of how this whole issue stemmed.“We were trying to transfer the website’s interface to the new app we’re developing so that the costumers would have a familiar shopping space and experience.” Avery explained. “But then one of us completely got rid of the website model after the transfer was complete. The problem is the app isn’t complete so we’re working on finishing up with that as fast as we can.”So technically there is no website and the app isn’t ready. Wow. Is it faster to complete the app or restore the website?” I asked.“Well,” he sighed. “We didn’t plan to restore the website back online because our main focus was on the creation of a new route for shopping.”“But if we have to, it will take about 45 minutes to restore.” He replied.“Okay then. Desperate means calls fo

Chapter: CHAPTER 4-ADRAIN‘’Today is going to be a great day’’I said to myself, like I always did every time I stepped out of my car and made a short walk to office building from the parking lot. One thing I knew for sure about today is that- number one, it is not going to be a regular day at work because my father emphasized on the fact that I must come in well-dressed in clean, well- fitted and appropriate attire which of course meant a suit, I thought. So, I had chosen my best, a well-tailored two-piece suit in navy blue, this was my most expensive suit designed by PRADA, and paired it up with my sleek, black pair of oxford shoes that perfectly complemented the suit. The whole look depicted elegance, comfortability, richness and on top of all it was professional. I had killed it. And my father would be proud of me. If you could tell fashion is my passion and I used it as a great tool to express my formal mood today. If fashion was a language, I know I would be fluent. I entered the building with a wide sm

Chapter: CHAPTER 3-CIERRAThe whistling sound of the train made me alert that our train had arrived. We boarded and took our seats close to each other. Ivy was normally the first to alight, then Chelly leaving me alone with Jaden who also got off at the last stop. Those moments gave us the chance to connect and talk more. Jaden is really goofy and loved making jokes, he had a huge sense of humour. There was never a dull moment around him, and I resonate with that energy a lot. He’s also very caring and doesn’t play about his friends at all- very protective of us. He was my first friend and introduced me to Ivy and Chelly who were already best friends. I knew I had to fill him in about the fact that I had applied for a job at the Vans and Sterling Company, and I leave the company once I was chosen for the position. I know that would hurt him so bad but as the brother figure he is to me, he would support me and have my back in any decision I make once its for my wellbeing.“Cierra”, he called me pointing to so

Chapter: CHAPTER 2- CIERRA“It’s strange how sometimes a dream can feel so real that you can’t differentiate it from a past reality or a warning of what is yet to come.” I murmured to my best friend who had just woken me up from one of the best and only dream I’ve had in a while with a knock on the door. To be honest, I can’t hold it against her for long because I definitely had to wake up early to go to work at the most atrocious place ever. Okay that was extreme.Do I hate my job? If you asked me this six months ago when I started working at McAnthony Facilities, I would have responded with a big no. But as a result of intensive twelve-hour shifts and underpayment, this job has not lived to my expectations a single bit. My sorry ass for thinking things would change. Plus, my mother and siblings need my help now more than ever and I feel a wave of responsibilities that I can’t keep up to, this makes me fell so small and useless. So, two weeks ago, out of desperation, I took a bold step to apply for an executiv

Chapter: CHAPTER 1 - CIERRAI got up today with my head held high and my heart filled with gratitude — I finally landed the opportunity I’ve been working my ass off for the past two years. It felt unreal when I saw the email from Vans and Sterling Company confirming that I have been accepted to work as a member of the Computing and Cybersecurity department.This has been my dream for as long as I can remember. I had applied for a higher position, but they chose me for this one instead. To be honest, I was a bit disappointed initially that I didn’t get the role I had aimed for. But my sweet best friend encouraged me to make the most of what i have been given, reminding me that I could work my way up and possibly earn a promotion. That advice really shifted my perspective, and I started focusing on the bright side of things. I put some thought to it and realise i was just being ungrateful and wondered why i was thinking like that knowing very well that i had worked so hard to be part of the Vans and Sterling commu
