Chapter 1 MIND I

"The first time I saw a green dress, I became obsessed with it... wishing it could be mine. I wanted to put it on so bad, that all I needed was for you to ask me for a date, a proper dinner date, I kept hoping and eventually, this is where we'd draw the line, Kelvin"

Aggie said as she took her purse and got up from the restaurant chair.

"Won't you hear me out first before this harsh comment?"

Kelvin said to halt her movement but Aggie was done with him.

Aggie kept on moving, paying no attention to her.

Aggie was the Managing Director of the GAG's fashion line, the second-floor section of the KEEP's Company, owned by an Asian.

She walks into her office exhausted, bounces on her office chair and sighs.

"And I wanted him to gift me that green gown, ahh, this is frustrating"

She said as she picked up her phone to call her friend.

"Alice, I broke up with him"

"What? Kelvin? Are you serious? Are you okay? Should I come over?"

"No Alice, stop overreacting, I'm fine, I'm the boss remember"

"You can't boss your feelings away, Aggie"

Aggie gave a second thought to it and nodded her head in agreement.

"We will get fried chicken after work then, it's on me"

Alice said.

"Thank you"

Aggie said as she ended the call and laid her head on the table.

Aggie is a twenty-three-year-old lady who grew up in a Cinderella-like family setting. Her mum died at her birth, and her father remarried but he died when she was a bit younger and since then, life for her has been nothing but trash.

Her stepmother was very manipulative and cruel to her. She grew up working hard covering up for the sins of her father by making sure no one rubs dirt on her face again because of money.

"Ms Aggie, the Chairman is looking for you"

"Okay"

She said as she got up, taking her coat with her and walking towards the chairman's office.

Knocks the door twice before she opens it.

"Good afternoon, sir"

"Ms Aggie, how have you been?"

"Making sure nothing goes wrong"

"You should have worked harder"

He said taking the remote, putting on the television, revealing a kissing scene with a person who was blurred out. Aggie coughs, as her purse drops on the floor.

"What is this sir?"

"I should be asking you the same question, Ms Aggie"

"What is this? Have you forgotten your position in this company? Have you seen these comments?"

Aggie takes her phone immediately and looks on her social media and sees the hate speech and bad comments, she raises her head and looks at the screen and back to the Chairman.

"This has to be a scandal sir, no it is indeed a scandal, sir"

"I'm sorry Aggie, this kind of mistake should have been avoided, we've sent you a good amount that can be of good use to you, till you find something else to do, we appreciate you for your hard work Aggie"

"I'm fired? Just like that sir?"

"I'm sorry Ms Aggie, you can leave now"

Aggie stood looking at the Chairman, she nodded her head and walked out upset. She went to her office, packed up. Her co-workers looked at her and felt sad, she worked the hardest.

"We're so sorry Ms Aggie"

They said in the chorus as the youngest of them ran to hug her, and then the rest followed. She was upset but then suddenly felt at ease.

"It's fine, just try to be hardworking okay, and rest when necessary"

"Would you come back?"

She smiled and rubbed her shoulders.

"Stay well you guys"

She said as she took the carton of her things and headed to the car, but then there was a guard there who was ready to get the keys from her.

She smirks.

"Really"

"You can keep the house"

The Chairman said as she walked towards her from his car.

Aggie looks at him and giggles. She walked ahead to the bus stop, waited a little and got into the bus, putting her head on the window as she dialled Alice's number and started crying.

"No, she's not"

Alice said as she ended the call and rushed over.

They went to a restaurant and sat opposite each other.

"What? How can he do this?"

"I don't know"

Aggie said as she burst into tears. Dirt was still thrown at her face, even though she worked hard and had money.

"I worked hard; Alice I did"

Aggie said as she couldn't help herself. Alice was pained as well, but there was nothing she could do at this point.

"He took my car too"

Aggie added.

She kept shouting out every hurt in her heart and drank as much as she could sober up. Alice heaved a deep sigh watching her friend.

If for anything, she knows that her friend was very hardworking and never slacked at it.

Aggie got tipsy and Alice drove her home. She keeps her to sleep and keeps warm water by her side as she leaves. Alice took it upon herself to look for this blackmailer.

"You'd be fine Aggie"

Her friend said as she walked away slowly so she did not wake her.
