"Damn it."
Triffany sat down at her room desk going through her laptop, with disappointment on her face.
"No hope this time?" Tanner, her little brother who sat behind her, asked her. Triffany shook her head without looking at him. "What do you do now?” His little voice sounded soft.
"I'm confused too.” She touches her forehead as she spins the chair around to look at him. Just then her mother came in with a glass of water and some vitamins.
"Triffany, here your vitamins," Laura said, paused, and looked at her daughter's worried face. "Still the same news?"
"Yes, mom... I'm not going to gain any employment, ten applications yet no good news.” Triffany gave out a heavy sigh.
Don't worry you'll get one soon.” Tanner comforted her.
"How long is that soon?” Triffany asked searching their eyes for an answer but they both kept silent. "I guess it would be long.” She rests her head on the desk.
Just then an email pop-up as Tanner pointed at her laptop. "Triffany see you got another email."
Triffany raised her head Immediately as she looked at her mom and brother before moving gently to her laptop. "Let me take a look, this better be good news.” She opened the message and read it. It was yet another failed interview.
"Mom, I'm not going to submit any other application, I'm just going to remain jobless and get married someday to a wealthy man who's going to love and treat me like a queen.” She blurts out.
Laura hit her back almost Immediately. "Is that all you have to say?” Triffany whines in pain. "I hope it hurts. How can you say that?"
"Why won't I? I spent four years in university studying and now no Company wants to employ me.....what else should I say?"
"From what I discovered, men nowadays don't like jobless ladies, they love classy girls,” Tanner told his sister. Laura looked at her little boy in surprise.
"You're still a little boy of ten years, what do you think you know, you still have a long way to go.” Triffany couldn't agree with him.
"Mom I'm I not right?" Tanner asked his amazed mother.
"Who taught you that?"
"I have a brain mom.” Tanner smiled
"I'm sure you do.” Laura touched his hair. "Unlike your sister."
"Mom!" Triffany calls out upset Laura will say something like that as Tanner burst out laughing. "Tanner you too, you're in support.” She sighed. "Talking to you both is just so annoying, please leave my room now, I need peace,” Triffany told them.
"Mom I guess she needs to reflect on how she spent her four years in the university and try to fit it into her current condition. Tanner said while heading to the door as Triffany scorn. ''Mom I better leave now cause she's about to blow up." He said finally before running out of her room.
"Mom how can he be so annoying. This is not helping me.” Triffany said with a furrowed brow.
"Have some vitamins and rest, I'll be downstairs, don't think too much.” Laura pets her shoulder before leaving the room.
Triffany took the vitamin and lay on her bed. "I hate all these companies; do they think I need a job?” She paused and signed. "I need a job but not in your Company either, rejecting my applications. I'm not even interested in your Company!” She spoke to no one but herself. "My bed is much more comfortable than those chairs in your offices.” She sighed as she whispered. "But I need a job!"
Carlos Zack, a rich well-known billionaire, sat down at a reserved table at classic Paige hotel waiting for his girlfriend Kelsey Devin. A waiter walked up to him.
"Sir, would you like to place an order now?"
"I'm waiting for someone, we would place our other together," Carlos told him with a smile.
"Okay, sir.” The waiter stepped aside.
At the other end of the hotel, two female waitresses whispered to each other.
"I wonder who the lucky lady is?"
"Me too, I heard he is the heir to the famous Glammaly estate.” The waitress said while looking at Carlos at the far end.
"He's very handsome, matched up with riches... If only my wish could come true, I'd be his wife.” She smiled
"Don't tell me you're daydreaming again, you better wake up, you're just a waitress.” The other reminded her.
"I know, it will never come true.” She sighed.
"Let’s just continue with our work.” She said finally as they moved to their post to continue working.
Carlos checked the time on his wristwatch. "She should be here soon." Just then Kelsey Devin walked into the hotel wearing a beautiful red dinner dress, with her hair curled and packed back, she wore makeup which made her extremely gorgeous, she spotted Carlos who waved her over, as he pushed a chair for her to sit before returning to his.
"So, I'm late, have you been here for a long time?” She asked
"No, I arrived a few minutes ago,” Carlos said, staring at the beauty who sat across him.
"I got to round up a few things at my office,” Kelsey told him as she kept her purse on her lap.
"You must be so stressed up.” Carlos took her hands with him as he gently touched them.
"A night's rest will do. Have you placed an order yet?"
“I was waiting for you.” He signaled the waiter, placed their order, and served expensive and delicious meals.
"Have you heard from your parents?” Carlos asked her as they ate.
"Yes, they called Immediately after they got to Paris. They must have settled in now. Kelsey took a bit of her meal
"Okay, I'm glad."
"How is the production process coming up?” Kelsey asked
"It's going okay but there might be a little holdup.” Carlos sipped his wine.
"Why?"
"My secretary quit, he moved to the states to further his education, so the production is delayed a bit.” He told her with a little stressed face, just thinking about work made him a bit tired.
"I thought you had an interview to employ new people for the Company,” Kelsey said.
"Yes, but his result came out a bit late, he quit after the result was sent out. I'm having a hard time figuring out what to do, but I'm going to find a solution soon. I'm okay just seeing your beautiful face right now.” He said with a smile.
"There you go again with your sweet words.” Kelsey blushed. "I'm glad I'm being a help to you."
"Let’s eat up and recover our strength, for another day's work,” Carlos told her. They both smiled and ate silently.
Gabby Zack, Carlos' junior sister, sat down in the poolside of Carlos's mansion with Carlos's friends, wearing her bikini suit eating watermelon as they gist.
"So, who's in for a hot female gist,” Gabby asked as she sat up.
"Gabby, we've heard the slot already.” Eric, one of Carlos' friends, told her.
"And it's high time you start having female friends,” Blake added.
"Hey!” Gabby raised her hand to silence him. "Pork your nose in your business. Female friends my butt, they are all backstabbers, I don't need any friends.
"We've also heard that countless times." Garret chipped in with a smile, he loves teasing her.
"Gabby, they don't ruin your friendship, you do,” Eric told her with a straight face.
"Eric, you’ve said that countless times too.” Gabby sighs and relaxes on her sit.
"Girls are just tiring to talk to.” Blake shook his head.
"Blake, are you indirectly saying something offensive to my ear.” Gabby glared at him.
"With all due respect, I'm sorry.” Blake apologizes, even though Gabby can be a brat at times but she was like a sister to them.
Garret who was going through his phone saw a girl's picture as he blurted out. "Wow, she's beautiful."
"Can I see?” Gabby told him she wanted to compare this girl Garret was praising with herself.
"No... We know what you normally do, so not today.
"Aish... talking to you all is hopeless.” She scoffs as she gives up fighting to see the picture.
"I just pissed you up right now.” Garrett smiled satisfied as if he won a medal.
"You seem to have forgotten how I act once I'm pissed off.” Gabby glare.
"Garrett, don't push her please, we need some moment of silence here.” Eric laughed.
"Eric!” Gabby exclaimed with a furrowed brow.
"What! Don't look at me that way.” Eric said scared as his heartbeat became fast, whenever Gabby was in this mood his hair was always in trouble.
"Don't worry Eric.” Gabby smiled. "I won't lash out okay, else my brother would be mad at me for hurting his friend.
"I thought it was my hair again.” Eric breathes a sigh of relief.
"Don't worry I won't drag it anymore, I hate my brother's earful words, he nags a slot, so I'm not cut out for that today.” Gabby stood up and stretched her body. "You all are just a group of boring dumbasses. I'm out of here, swimming will do me better than sitting here.” She heads to the swimming pool.
"I'm glad you're finally going off,” Blake calls out
"I'm sure you are,” Gabby said without looking back.
"Will you need some juice?" Eric offers.
"Save it, Eric.” Gabby sighed.
"You need friends Gabby,” Garrett added.
"Garrett, you need to leave this country too,” Gabby told him as she entered the pool. "Blake searches for a new club party for tonight."
"You're hopeless Gabby. Study your books tonight and forget nightclubs.” Blake told her with good intentions.
"Do something useful with your time,” Eric added.
"I'm doing that now. Nights are for parties.” Gabby said with a smile.
"Gabby no nightclubs for you tonight.” Carlos who just came back and overheard her talking about night clubs told her with his restrained voice.
"Here comes the boss.” Gabby sighs as she enters the water and swims off.
"Thank goodness you're here,” Eric said. His friends sat up as soon as he walked close to them.
"What took you so long,” Garrett asked him.
"I was with Kelsey,” Carlos said as he sat down.
"Next time please don't leave us with your sister, she is so uncontrollable,” Blake told him.
"She's 20years but she still behaves so childishly,” Carlos told them with a smile.
"Not childish, she's a total brat.” Eric frowned.
"I know.” Carlos smiled. He knows his sister so well.
"She needs friends,” Garrett added.
"No. She needs to be sent out of this country.” Carlos told them.
"I heard that one,” Gabby called out from the pool as they all laughed.
"Enjoy your pool, little mermaid,” Carlos told her.
"Thanks, land wolf,” Gabby calls out before diving in for another swim.
Carlos smiled again before facing his friends with a serious face.
"Okay, now it's time for business." They all sat up with serious looks now on their faces.
