CHAPTER ONE
Isabella POV
The sound of the alarm woke me up from my beauty sleep, I checked the time and I was freaking late for the cafe, I have a morning shift, I quickly rushed into the restroom and within 20 minutes I was done, I went into the living room and Miguel had packed my lunch for me.
What would i have done without Miguel in my life I hugged him and rushed out.
I arrived 20 minutes late to the cafe and thank God madam Sandra is not yet around, she's a handful, I quickly wore my apron and began my and business for the day

Morris secretary Sara opened the car door for him as he came down from the car like the boss he is looking breath taken in his expensive tailored suit which fit him pafectly, Morris walked into MA empire with his secretary behind, the workers all bow down to greet him which he did not even look up to answer. Some of the employees were drooling over him but if they are caught that's the end of their jobs.
Morris POV
I settled down inside my office and my assistant read out my appointments for the day and today is going to be a very long day, at this point I need a assistant, I fired the last one cause she confess her love to me, her audacity needs to be studied. We are working on a very big project and it is talking a toll on me, I called Sara and asked her to prepare an interview on Monday for the post of an assistant I really need one.
My phone rang and it was my mom, I picked the call, I already know why she called
Morris : Hello mum
Mrs Addison: How are you son
Morris: I'm fine
Mrs Addison: I want you to come over tonight we would be having a family dinner, everybody would be there and don't say no, and she hanged up.
I sighed.
I walked out of my office to the boardroom

Isabella just finished are shift at the cafe and she is on her way to the bakery where she works as a cleaner
Isabella POV
I walked into the bakery and I saw everybody outside and they are being address by the manager I asked my colleague and she said the bakery would be closing down because it was going bankrupt and they couldn't keep up, and they are going to be giving us half payment of salary.
It was salary week and now this, I really need the money, Miguel is writing his final year project and he needs money.
He has been behind his mates cause of money and now she will disappoint him, she told him to quit his job because of his final year project, so he could focus.
I turned around and went out strolling towards the street to find a place to sit before I could go to my next shift at the bar, I could not afford to go home because I was trying to save money.
I sat there and was thinking about my life and everything going on when Rachel call came in.
Rachel: wassup girl
Isabella: I'm fine
Rachel: why is your voice down
Isabella: I just lost my job at the bakery, the bakery is closing down
Rachel: sorry love, you and Andrew should meet me at our usual spot let me spoil u guys and relieve you of some stress
Isabella:ok, after my shift at bar I will meet you up
Rachel: ok bye
This is what I probably need to relieve some stress cause my head is on fire

Andrew looks uncomfortable because he has never liked Rachel, he was just trying to be friends cause of Isa, yeah that's what he calls her.
There is a interview in MA empire on Monday morning u should give it a try, Rachel told Isabella,do u think I would have the chance we are talking about MA empire here.
