(Present day)
"Would you like anything else ma'am?"
"No." I dismissed rudely.
I hate being constantly annoyed every 2 minutes at restaurants. Can't even take a sip of my drink in peace without having an annoying waitress ask if I need anything else before I swallow.
The waitress's name is Harmony and she has already asked that same question 5 times!
I obviously did not ask what her name was,nor did I care to know. I read it on her name tag accidentally while she was placing my order on my table.
*incoming call-Brian*
"What?"
-Hey Belinda I don't wanna ruin your lunch but...
"Then why call if you knew there'd be a good chance you'd ruin my lunch Brian?"
-Well...
"Well what?Goodbye."
*Call ended*
He's fired.I don't care if he's my brother.
If you're going to call me you better have your story straight beforehand.
I looked up from my phone and saw Harmony heading towards my table AGAIN and I immediately stood up and walked away.
We are not about to do this again.
I can't stand her. If I get this restaurant shut down today it'd be her fault.
I realise I didn't pay, but I don't need to pay for anything in this city.
I literally own it.
Sometimes I pay for fun.
Why did I wear these shoes on such a busy day? I subconsciously asked myself as I walked to my car.
My bodyguard opened the door for me and we drove off.
On my way to the office I texted my assistant to order my lunch.
It was a 10 minute drive and surprisingly enjoyable.
When I stepped out the car cameras flashed from all directions.
Great...paparazzi.
Luckily my guards are always there when such things happen.
"Miss Knight what do you think about the judge's verdict?"
"Have they found his body?"
"Do you still wear your engagement ring?"
"Miss Knight!"
"Miss Knight!"
Ever since my fiancé's 'disappearance' they haven't been letting me breathe.
We somehow managed to make it into the building in one piece.
"Paparazzi sure knows how to ruin your day." I commented looking back at Jackson.
I don't do friends but he's special I guess,and not just because he's with me 24/7 and drives me around.
"Tell me about it."He responded walking behind me.
"Oh miss Knight, I have Cassandra from the mansion contract on the line waiting for you."my assistant Amber informed me trying to keep up with me out of breath.
I didn't bother acknowledging her presence but she knew I'd take it in my office.
I entered my office and shut the door behind me, picked up the phone and spoke to the nuisance of a lady waiting to hear my lovely voice.
"Hi Cassandra so good to hear from you darling. Are you calling to close the deal?"
-Yes I am…I'd just like to ask for a favor...
"Which is?" I can already feel my blood boiling.
-Our daughter's hospital bill went up,is it okay if we pay half of the amount and then p...
*call ended*
"Amber get in here!"
"Yes miss Knight?" She stumbled as she ran into my office.
"Call James and tell him we're no longer going with Cassandra and schedule a meeting with Ryan Smith."
"Should I ask ab..."
"That will be all Amber shut the door on your way out." I dismissed while logging onto my laptop.
"I'm sorry miss Knight." She ran out the same way she ran in.
She's so pathetic it's almost cute.
I called Jackson to my office and asked him to be on duty in my office rather than the lobby.
"What's up Bel?" He greeted charmingly.
"Shut up and do your job." I couldn't help but smile a bit.
"Here's your McDonalds meal." He handed the bag to me while pretending it smelt bad.
He's against McDonalds for various reasons most people are aware of.
Don't judge me.
A smile appeared on my face before disappearing seconds later.
"You're wearing the necklace I got you for your birthday I see."He commented, and I ignored him.
He got me a heart necklace with a rose gold rose on it. Obviously my ex fiancé didn't like that, but he wasn't a good guy at all so Jackson did what he never could.
As a friend of course.
All he does is smile at me then head back to the door.
I then worked in silence and enjoyed my meal.
*incoming call-Brian*
-May I come into your office?
-"Yes"
*call ended*
"Sup man." He greeted Jackson making him respond with a silent 'sup' nod.
"Don't talk to my guards. What is it? This better be important."
"Belinda, would you stop being so…you for a minute?"
"Didn't I send you a text firing you?"I asked.
"5th time this week. Yes you did but you can't fire me. We both own this company idiot."
I rolled my eyes and asked once again "What do you want Brian?"
"It's mom."
My stomach immediately turned .
"She's not coming anymore?" I asked.
"No." He responded.
"She's running late?" I asked.
"No Belinda she's already here."
My vision started becoming blurry and I almost fainted.
That woman scares the living daylights out of me. If you think I'm bad...you clearly haven't met her.
If only people knew that it's all her fault that I am the way that I am.
Well...my dad mostly.
So I have mommy and daddy issues. Some would say…that's a recipe for disaster. The only thing that helps with the mommy issues is the fact that she travels across the world most of the time, and she couldnt care less about Brian and I.
