Chapter 3

" Now this is where you're going to be working. her father showed her the small comfortable room, with a desk and some office supplies. This is also your office laptop, he handed it over to her. unlike the one at home I expect you to fill this one with work stuffs okay? "

"ha..ha..ha...I know dad. don't you worry about it. I got this covered okay, just trust my abilities." heather assured him.

"sweetie, I trust you enough." he kissed her forehead. "my little girl has grown so much, I'm proud of you."

Heather sat down looking at her new office. she couldn't believe all these was happening. she's already working like an independent lady. she was determined to make her parents proud.

"They will surely not regret making me a part of this company." she said to herself as she got to work.

Few months later.....,

heather was so happy as she read the mail.

I"I can't believe this! Dad is going to be so happy to hear this" . she ran all the way to her father's floor, not regarding the tiles that the janitor had just mopped.

"hey dad, I just wanted to show you thi..." she suddenly came to an halt as, he met her father with Mrs Chloe, who was supposed to be his finical manager.

"uhmm...dad, you seem busy." heather said slowly as Mrs Chloe adjusted her skirt.

" No...nothing. Mrs Chloe here was just showing me some improvements we've made on the last six months. could you believe it? we've made about 4.6 million. "

" wow....dad, speaking of great news, I actually came here to show you something. she said shaking of the thought she had before. guess what? "

" what?

" you know that popular show, Kenny the guy?

"yeah, the show you particularly fell in love with the protagonist and claimed to be your boyfriend when you were in highschool? " her father teased her.

" stop dad....! heather could hear Mrs Chloe laugh silently."

"for your information, dad. Kenny the guy's manager just contacted me and they are willing to start a contract with us. we'll be getting the sum of 3million monthly."

" you don't mean it? "

" yeah I do! "

"Oh.. my God heather, that's great news." we should celebrate, chipped in Chloe.

" yeah....I guess we should." heather plainly replied.

"uhmm....her dad said breaking the awkwardness between the two ladies. how long exactly is the contract going to last?"

" it's going to last for a year, dad."

"oh...my God. we really need to celebrate. I'm soooo happy, heather hugged her dad. I can't wait to tell mum."

"Mum?"....." Mum!!"

"mum? where are you?" heather asked as she entered the kitchen.

she saw her mum on the counter, sniffling like she just had a huge mental breakdown.

"Mum! why are you crying?"

"oh... oh... heather," her mum said startled. "I didn't hear you call." what's up? she asked her. wiping her face.

"mum? why you crying? what happened?" heather was already worried.

"No silly, I wasn't crying". "I was just uhmm... cutting some onion. you know how strong these onion are?" Mrs Martin said as she supposedly reached for an Onion.

"uhmm....what's that on the counter?" heather asked pointing on the ripped out envelope.

"oh...it's nothing. she said trying to hide it from her. it's just a shopping list. I'm getting it for someone." she lied.

"oh..in that case, you don't mind me seeing it. "heather replied as she reached to grab it.

"you really don't have to look at it. you've had a long day already, just go rest."

heather paid no attention to her mum, as she opened it. she nearly fainted as she read the content of the letter.
