Chapter one

I was parked at my friend’s street waiting for her to come out so we go get going to work. Where the hell is this chick? I thought, I wasn’t gonna get fired today.

I checked the rear view mirror to touch up on my face and makeup, I had the most amazing brown skin and amber eyes and soft curls that were packed in a pony tail, I was beautiful no doubt “for a black girl” I heard my ex voice in the background. I frowned and shook my head,

“Not today” I whispered. I honked trying to draw attention to my friend to hurry the hell up. We both work in finance, stocks and equity, for Shebly firm, junior accountants like myself and Dawn we help wealthy clients invest money properly and Dawn is trying to make us jobless.

I honked again and Dawn came rushing out of her apartment

“Okay girl, I heard you the first time” she said, rushing towards me.

“You’re gonna get us fired I said as she sat down in the car

She gave me sir kisses around my cheeks and I looked back to take in her sweet perfume.

You look good today, what’s with all the glam I said looking at her clothes, I haven’t seen these before

She wore a green paint suit, that complimented her red hair, her green eyes shone with that minimal make up on her, and complimented the dressing with heels and a bag.

“Is there a party at the office I didn’t hear about” I asked her my eyebrows puckering up

“No and drive” she said gesturing to the road.

And I did just that, I pulled out of her street and we were headed for work

“There’s no party chica, but someone important is coming in today and I dress to impress she said looking at the mirror in the passenger seat

“Which client is it this time, one of your numerous sugar daddies” I teased

“No of course not” she scoffed “it’s Noah Prescott who is now interim CEO of Prescott plc, and he is so fine and my future baby daddy” she winked at me

“Oh I see” I said mockingly

“You haven’t see him have you? Chica don’t you read the news or blogs or juicy gossip websites, you need these information to thrive in this stock market world” she said leaning back

“I do read and educate myself on happenings not just on CEOs I said smiling

“Well this CEO is hot, sexy and single as fuck, he might have had a fling or two but nothing serious” Dawn replied

“Girl you are delusional to think he would fall for you”

“Well try me, I’ll be handling his account today, courtsey of the boss”

“Goodluck then” I said pulling into the driveway of our office.

We got out and headed towards the lobby of Shelby building, I greeted a few familiar faces and Dawn did the same.

We got into the elevator and headed for our floor, the elevator door opened with a chime into our offices, I blew a kiss to dawn as we separated ways and I headed into the confined space of my office.

I loved it here, ever since my promotion to junior accountant, I’ve been working effortlessly and tirelessly too, I sat down on my chair and opened up my laptop to start the day, a picture of my parents on my desk were staring back at me, I miss them so much.

Suddenly a rapt knock on my glass doors, it was my assistant Gigi, I looked up and indicated her to come in

“Good morning ms Monroe, you have an appointment by 10am today” she said giving me some paperwork to check.

“I don’t remember any appointments by 10am” I replied shaking my head

“Yes but this came in my email and yours this morning, it’s an urgent meet with a client” she added

“And who might that be” I asked

“Noah Prescott of Prescott plc” she replied

I looked up, suprised “Noah Prescott I thought that account was for Dawn” I inquired

“Yeah but her team is actually occupied with other things right now” Gigi said shifting from one foot to the other

“Okay when the client gets here please let me know and usher them to the conference room” I replied with a air of finality.

“Yes ma’am” she replied and walked off.

I took out my phone to text Dawn about this discovery

Me: Guess I’ll be taking your baby daddy after all, with a smirk emoji

Dawn: Boo hoo, home wrecker, but seriously go get em girl

Me: lol, you know I will

I entered g****e to see if I can get any info on my client and omg Dawn wasn’t lying, Noah Prescott was the finiest specimen of men on earth. He was CEO interim last year after his father got sick and he brought the company out of the red and now looking to invest. Smart move I thought

“Ms Monroe, they’re here” Gigi said poking her head in the door,

“Let’s do this” I replied, I was going to do this and do it well.
