Where We Met

 Scrolling through her ex-boyfriend's recent post with his current girlfriend on IG, Clara put down her phone and smiled when the two supermodels who she was about to meet made their ways into her office."Afternoon Ms. Hart," one of them smiled shyly while the one beside her grinned as they stood in front of her office desk."Please," Clara chuckled. "Call me Clara. I feel so old when you call me Ms. Hart,""Nice to meet you Jenna," Clara shook hands with the one who smiled at her first and then, the one who grinned at her, "and you too Perrie,"She had realised that Jenna was the shy type and Perrie was more of an outgoing kind.

"Xane! Xane!"Xane Harding groaned, a look of impatience crossed his face as he heard his mother calling from across the hallway. He took his glasses off and placed them carefully on his working desk.3... 2... 1...His mother, Amara barged into his study room."Xane!" His mother called out again."Mom how many times have I told you not to bother me when I'm in my study room. I have a lot to do," he complained.

She had realised that it was time for her to embrace something new, something more challenging. Building a mobile app for GlowCosmo could heighten the consumers' shopping experience and impr

"What do you mean?" Clara's laugh died down as she watched the woman in front of her still giggling."What jackpot? How do you know Xane?" Clara asked again as her face turned pale. She gulped audibly, waiting for Eleanor to explain. A part of her wanted to stop Eleanor from telling her. It didn't matter how they met. Yet her inquisitive instinct kicked in."He's literally a jackpot Clara. That man owns Harding Tech. I flew-"With that, her sense of hearing stopped working. Eleanor said something else after that but she could no longer hear the words. She only heard the word Harding Tech echoing in her head endlessly.
