Crystal POVI stood and raised my head as I looked up at the tall building that towered over me. My heart raced frantically against my chest.I clutched onto my bag with my sweaty hands."You can do this Crystal," I whispered to myself and breathed out heavily. As I took one step towards the entrance, someone bumped into me from behind and I almost fell on my face."Watch it rookie," the lady's voice boomed, followed by the clicking of her heels.I opened my mouth to talk but I snapped it shut almost immediately. It was my first day and I didn't want to offend anyone.I looked around and some people were already staring at me like I was some weirdo."Don't let them get to you," I reminded myself and nodded. It was the beginning of a new phase and I don't want to ruin it before I could benefit.My alarm blared, startling me. I looked at my wristwatch and the time was still ticking. I picked up the pace as I rushed towards the front desk."Good day, I'm the new hire for the Personal Ass

Crystal's POVI stood up and rushed towards her, shaking her vigorously. "What happened, Nina? Will you tell me or not?""You... Uhmmm, you.." she stuttered and kept gulping.The hesitation was driving me insane and I didn't have the courage to take the phone and check what she had seen."C'mon, Nina," I urged with a pleading voice."You got it."I furrowed my eyebrows. I got it? My heartbeat increased. Deep down I knew what she was talking about but I still needed to confirm, so I snatched the phone.My eyes scanned through the content of the email. I kept reading until I got to the part where I froze. It wasn't what I was expecting at all."Congratulations Miss Clarke, you've been appointed to be the Personal Assistant to Mr. Jules Jordan. You're to resume work immediately at Deburn Group headquarters."I rubbed my eyes to make sure I wasn't hallucinating. Once again, I read the words and it was exactly as it was.My eyes weren't playing tricks on me.Slowly, I raised my head to loo

Crystal's POVMy eyes were fixed on my phone screen as I scrolled through Jordan's page. I had already watched a few of his recent interviews and it was just a reminder as to why I admire him so much.He wasn't just good looking but also intelligent. Jordan was so good with words.Every time people interviewed him, he somehow came up with new business ideas and honestly, I could learn a lot from him."Crystal!!!" Nina suddenly shouted and jumped. My phone slipped out of my hand. I tried to catch it but was not successful."What the hell girl? The house is almost on fire!" Nina grunted angrily and my eyes almost popped out of their sockets.Nina rushed past me and turned off the gas cooker. The pancakes in the pan had already turned to brick."I'm so sorry, Nina. I was absent minded," I apologized as I followed her into the living room.Nina crossed her legs. Her forehead creased into a frown. "Let me guess, you were watching that damn Jordan again," she sneered and I shook my head imm

Crystal's PoV"Shut up Crystal!" My mum barked with so much anger in her voice. I blinked back my tears and brushed back my hair.Why can't she understand? Why is she always quick to anger as if I've never helped the family?"How can you be so insensitive? Your sister has been working tirelessly to secure this collaboration and now you don't want to support her dream?" She panted heavily."It's okay mum. If she doesn't want to help, don't force her," I heard Cherry's voice in the background."No, it's not okay! How can Crystal be so jealous of you because she doesn't have a job? It's not anybody's fault. Anyone who envies her blood is a wicked person." My mum added harshly.I closed my eyes and clenched my hands together.
