chapter one

Sara groaned in frustration when she caught sight of Tiffany coming towards her. she was certain of two things. one, another load of work waited for her at work, two. her best friend wouldn't stop nagging her about finding a man for herself. She's twenty-three for God's sake!

it was summertime. Sara had to wear a hat to shield herself from the sun.

"Hi Sara," Tiff said and smiled. her smile was so genuine and filled with love and happiness. that was exactly what she liked about her friend, strong smart enough to know what to do anytime.tiff parents died when she was seventeen, she had been living all alone since then. slim figure, with blond hair and brown eyes.

"hi." Sara looked up to her and frowned."I've been waiting for you for hours.

"Sorry babe"Tiff apologizes."had to see Danny briefly."

Sara sighed. yeah.of course. tiff could see anyone she wanted. unlike her who had a bad record of "peacock" men recently. she had prayed to God to stop sending "peacock" to her recently, and she's done with it. after her last break up, she's vowed to keep her resolution.no men. for now.at least until a sensible one comes along.

" Yeah I understand." she replied." any news?"

Mr. Fred asked me to give you this." Tiff stretched a brown file to Sara.

Sara rolled her eyes." what's wrong with that guy? can't he just handle it?"

Tiff laughed and said" Sara, don't you know he likes you already? you're acting as if you don't know! "

Sara scoffed and stood."peacock men aren't in my vocabulary recently"

"tsk tsk tsk tsk babe, what's up with you? aren't you going to lose up a bit and find a great guy?"

Sara sighed."Tiff, not this time okay? not this Fred guy at all."

she shuddered at the thought.

*********

Sara stared at Mr. Fred who sat opposite her. a lanky man with blond hair.forty years looking, man. he claimed to be the manager of Oxford company. they deal with marketing makeup products.

The room was cozy and bright with furniture and desk designs.

"have you finish up the last draft?" he asked shifting forward and smiling at Sara.

"of course sir. I've done exactly that.is there something else you want me to do now?

"not really," Fred replied smirking." except, you're looking ravishing this morning miss Sara."

Sara winced in irritation." thanks Mr. Fred".
