The cold boss of The Brown Association has suddenly turned warm for someone. That someone is none other than his own personal assistant. He never thought in his wildest dreams that someone who is not the richest, not the best, not the prettiest can steal his heart, but damn, for him, she is the most beautiful girl. He slowly fell for her so deep that he was ready to do anything to get her, and if not, then he will be broken. After many heartbreaks, he finally gave up on her. She reciprocated the feelings, but only for a few days. What was that, anyway? Continued working, he turned completely cold—even more than he was before—to everyone, including her. Knowing what has caused him to return to his older self with an, even more, worse condition, she decided to make up for it. But it was too late. He had someone who'd love him back, and not leave him when he needed her the most. Misunderstandings are a part of their, or pretty much, any, love story. They were sad and broken, still, they were finding their happiness through walking over the shattered pieces of their heart. She was not the same either. And then it happened. The truth. She did everything she could to save him. Maybe that was the thing. The thing he wanted because she was there this time when he needed her. But what proves that she will not leave him now? The answer could be trust, but that was long gone between them. Frustrated by him not being able to trust her, she decided to do the thing he had never thought. Hell, no one ever thought of it. He had to face the consequences. And, he did.

Ashley

I had enough reasons to cry. But I didn't, because I wanted to give a last try to my job.

I packed my things as Lara wished for me to win. "Bye, Lara, " I said while taking my phone off the charger. "Bye. Good luck, sis"

"Thank you" I left the house taking my suitcase and took a cab to the airport.

I am Ashley Jones. I had been a good girl, but not a lucky one. I had been kicked out of my last job and had voluntarily left the preceding one. Not that I didn't like it, because I just care too much about my self-respect.

And that's the only thing I am proud of.

I tried applying to many jobs in Russia, but none accepted me. My last boss had made sure that I didn't get a place in any of them, at least not in this country. Consequently, I have to leave the country and am going to America. I am originally American anyway, I just settled in Russia four years back due to some issues, I really don't wanna talk about.

"Okay, " I said to the taxi driver as I paid the money with my credit card. He left and I went towards the airport platform.

This is gonna change everything.

"Here" I handed my identity papers to the officer and after all the process, I sat down in the airplane seat. This is not the first time I am on a plane, but I am as afraid as ever.

I don't know why, but if I can't get a job in the US either, I will be completely jobless. When mom left us, we always depended on each other. The last two months had Lara working day and night. Now, I have to take this flight so that I can also do something other than eating her hard work.

Literally.

I waited for the plane to take off while I glanced at my wristwatch. 6 AM.

It is gonna take almost 13 hours flying from here to Los Angeles. LA has been my home for quite as long as I can remember and Moscow has been my second one, giving me equal vibes of my 'own home'.

I almost slept and waited for LA.

I woke up and checked the time. 6:13 AM. Of the next day, dude.

At least, I am finally reaching there. I had already applied for a job and it is quite an expensive company, but I can quite hold a chance for it because I grew up and was educated in the US, particularly LA, and that is where this awesome company stands. It is internationally popular, but I guess they respect the citizens of their own state.

I am kind of relative to them, right? I belong to the same state.

If that makes sense.

Anyway, I waited some more, and as I reached there; I took a cab home. This empty house can be even haunted.

Just kidding.

I went inside and keeping my suitcase down, the first thing I did was calling Lara and letting her know that I made it alive. "Hey! Guess what? I am alive!"

"Well, that is some really sad news I got. You ruined my mood"

"At least I wouldn't be there to disturb you and your boyfriend"

"Aish, you are such a jealous girl" she sighed.

I am not, dear. I am happy that at least you have someone in your life you can trust.

"You know I am not"

"Whatever it is, sis. Take care and you know? I will miss you so bad. I'll visit you on weekends"

"Oh, we can't pay for that. How can you visit me so much?"

"We will think of a way. Anyway, I gotta go. All the best for your job"

"Thank you" I cut the call with a smile.

I got this, Lara.
