Se connecterFinally its weekend Amara didn't have to wake up early, rush through breakfast or worry about schedules, meetings and two difficult bosses.She was free.And she intended to enjoy every second of it.By late morning, Amara was sitting in Nora's salon, scrolling through her phone while Nora prepared her hair.“I need maybe three or four braids on natural hair,” Amara said.Nora looked at her through the mirror.“No, honey. I'm going to do lemonade braids. They'll suit you better.”Amara raised an eyebrow.“Lemonade braids?”“Yes.”“Fine. I trust you.”Nora smiled and started parting her hair.“By the way, Javey said we should go out clubbing tonight.”Amara immediately shook her head.“And you both remember what happened the last time I went to the club, right?”Nora laughed.“Oh yeah. One guy lost a testicle.”Amara gave her a look.“Exactly.”Nora burst out laughing.“I can't go. Sorry.”“Oh, come on. You're the only one who doesn't drink, so if you stay home, Javey and I might end
By the fifth day, Amara was starting to enjoy her job.She arrived early, finished her work on time, and made sure every meeting was properly scheduled. After the disaster on her third day, she had become extra careful.Unfortunately, the other employees had started talking.She'd notice some weird looks and every time Amara walked past a group of employees, the conversations would suddenly become quieter.Some whispered about the written warning she had received.Others talked about how she had spoken back to Lorry.A few even wondered why she was still working there after only five days.Amara heard them.She simply ignored them.She had a job to do, and she was going to do it perfectly.By the afternoon, everything was under control.She had prepared the documents for the following day's meetings, answered emails, organized the brothers' schedules and made sure there were no clashes.She was sitting behind her desk when the clock reached 2:40 p.m.She walked up to Lorry's office.“M
Day four started differently.Amara arrived at Pablo Innovations at exactly seven in the morning.She walked into her office carrying a cup of coffee, placed her handbag beneath her desk and immediately got to work.Today, she wasn't going to make mistakes.She opened the brothers' schedules and went through every meeting carefully.She checked the times.Then checked them again.She checked the meeting rooms.Then the attendees.Then the notes required for each meeting.By seven forty-five, everything was organized.The documents for Lorry's first meeting were printed and arranged neatly on his desk. Nick's presentation notes were placed in the correct folder, and every appointment had been double-checked.At eight, the brothers arrived.Lorry walked past her office without saying a word.Amara watched him disappear into his office.She smiled to herself.Try finding something wrong today.By ten, the first meeting was completed without a problem.The second went just as smoothly.Sh
By the third day, Amara was beginning to think she had finally figured out the job.She knew which meetings required printed documents and which ones were virtual. She knew Nick liked his coffee black and Lorry preferred tea in the afternoon. She knew which calls could wait and which ones needed to be transferred immediately.Most importantly, she had memorized their schedules.That morning, Amara sat behind her desk, scrolling through the brothers' calendars while eating a piece of toast.She had already answered twelve emails.She had rejected three unnecessary meeting requests.She had moved one appointment because Nick had another commitment.Things were going smoothly.Her phone rang.“Pablo Innovations, good morning.”“Amara, it's Nick.”She straightened.“Yes?”“Move the Henderson meeting to eleven.”Amara glanced at the calendar.“Eleven?”“Yes.”“Okay.”“And make sure Lorry is there.”“Will do.”The call ended.Amara quickly opened the calendar and moved the meeting.She chec
“Wake up!”Something soft landed directly on Amara's face.She groaned and pulled the blanket over her head.“Go away.”“Amara!”Another pillow hit her.She finally sat up, her hair a complete mess.Javey stood at the foot of her bed with his hands on his hips, looking like he had personally been offended by her existence.“Do you know what time it is?”Amara glanced at the clock.“Six fifteen.”“Exactly.”“My job starts at eight.”“And?”“I have plenty of time.”Javey rolled his eyes.“You have your first day at Pablo Innovations today. You need to look perfect.”“I always look perfect.”“That's debatable.”Amara grabbed the pillow and threw it at him.Javey ducked.“Violence before breakfast. Lovely.”The bedroom door opened and Nora walked in carrying a cup of coffee.“Here.”Amara immediately reached for it.“My hero.”“You're welcome.”Javey snatched the cup away.“No coffee.”Amara stared at him.“Give me my coffee.”“No. You'll be drinking enough of it at work.”“Javey.”“No.”
“Okay, so they are allergic to nuts, and this is a list of meetings they have for tomorrow.”Mr. Goodwill pushed a thick folder across the polished desk.Amara Valerie glanced at it without touching it.She was sitting comfortably in the leather chair opposite him, one leg crossed over the other, sunglasses resting on top of her head despite being indoors. She had spent the last forty minutes listening to the royal family's lawyer explain everything she supposedly needed to know about her new job.She was beginning to wonder if she had made a terrible decision.Not because she was afraid of the job.She simply hated being told what to do.“Not bad.” She picked up the folder and flipped through the pages. “So, what time am I supposed to report to work and when is the closing time? Do I get a tea break?”Mr. Goodwill looked at her over his glasses.“You are supposed to report to work at eight in the morning and closing time is four p.m., though sometimes they stay late.
