Serendipity

I woke up with the bright sunlight stroking my face as my dark room brightened up. I felt something soft caressing my face and I opened my eyes to see my dog, Luke rubbing his fur on my face something he does to wake me up.

"Get off me you bitch"

And there goes my 'oh so happy' day.
He jumped on me trying to break a bone of mine or so i guess.

"Alright alright I'm sorry get aside now" I said slowly rubbing his head.

I got up to freshen up, wear my office clothes and when I was dressed up, Mrs. Liliana called me to have breakfast. She's a very sweet and soft spoken lady. She is more like a mother to me.

The one who's not aggressive.
Hope my mother doesn't hear this.

"Morning Mrs. Liliana"

"Morning dear have your breakfast. I've cooked your favourite today and do call Luke he must be hungry" She exclaimed with her ever existing soft smile as it reached her eyes due to which her face got slightly wrinkled.

I wonder if it's her affection or was the situation not in her favour that she had to work at this age.

Well I'll never no for she's a hell of a secretive person. I've heard her talking about her daughter and son. They seem like good children.

After having breakfast I sat in my car and drove through the busy streets of New York.

This busy place always makes me wonder if in future we would even be able to live a life.

A real one.

I am the CEO of a company my father gave up his whole life for. He was dedicated to make the company best of all and now I want to do so.

It was difficult though as my father never wanted me to be the CEO, probably because he knew the burden and life that comes with the position.

That man has spent his life dividing all his attention to family and company. Nothing else. One the reason he fears me working for this company as it holds my future.

He wanted me to pursue my dream job but unfortunately this was what I wanted to do.

I got this job but not as a heir, I worked for it just as any normal person would.

And somehow this was the first time my father was not pleased with this success. For the first time he despised it.

I still wonder why.

5..4.. This red light is making me overthink, what is wrong with me.

Suddenly I noticed my assistant- running? She's late as usual and getting ride at this time is real difficult so i think yet again I'll have to lecture her.

Shall I help her? Oh hell no.
I like looking at miserable people.

( I don't but she's an exception)

She is new but clumsy and also a person who just does not have control over herself. Bubbly? I think not, she just has a lost mind.

Difficult to understand I must say. She does zone out a lot but works perfectly. She's young for the job she got but I see the potential in her.

If I am able to help a person with right potential to work and ability to do better in future I don't think I'll reject their request to work for me.

I averted my gaze and focused on the road trying to reach my destination faster.

I parked my car and as i entered everyone greeted me with a smile. I know most of them are fake. They are probably thinking they will get a space in my mind which would help them later but being honest I don't even remember their name.
