******************************************
FRANCE, CITY OF PARIS~4PM*
"Please can you help me write my sign out? I'm so late,I need to go ,please" Roseanne begged one of her coworkers at the coffee café.
"Bien sûr (Of course)" the lady replied her with a smile.
"Merci beaucoup (Thank you so much)" Roseanne said with a grateful smile and hurriedly ran out of the café.
The workers there began to talk after Roseanne left.
* I feel sorry for her honestly,I heard she still works at a bar after the next restaurant she's going to right now,I wonder what happened,why is she working so hard? She's a lady.
* I heard her mom isn't fit physically and her father is dead.
* Yeah so I heard,her sister is in high school too.
* So automatically, Roseanne is the breadwinner of her family.
* I feel so sorry for her,she's so young,she need to take care of herself.
While everything was going on,Roseanne was running toward the bustop,she knew she was late already but she decided to try her luck.
She wouldn't even try to take the Taxi coz her budget for the day wouldn't let her,the bus is much more cheaper than taxi,she has a target to meet with.
Her mom's medicine and medical checkup,then Miray's school fees.
Miray is her kid sister,sixteen years old and in high school. She was just eight when their father passed away.
As expected,Roseanne missed the bus,so she increased her running pace,of course she was going to run to the restaurant where she works.
Getting to Darcie's kitchen,she already lost her breath,thirty minutes late,she almost tear up,her pay just reduced by about five percent.
Immediately she entered the restaurant and she saw all eyes on her,she knew it was over,their boss,Darcie is definitely around,maybe because she was in such a hurry,she didn't get enough time to see her car in her private parking space.
Speaking of the devil,Darcie came out,with her heels clacking on the floor.
"You are late" Darcie shot her a glare.
Roseanne face her.
"I'm sorry Darcie...I mean...boss,I missed my boss" Roseanne pleaded and Darcie glared more.
Actually,Darcie was her class mate back then in high school before she dropped out.
But the hatred isn't new,,Darcie and her friends have always bullied her back then in school,they were three.
Darcie, Sonomi and Khaleesi.
The worst set of girls back then in school,they bully everyone and make themselves queens over all.
But unfortunately,the bad ones are still making it better than her now.
Darcie owns this big restaurant,rich people comes here to eat,she even own a large hall for different events,Darcie makes a whole lot of money and she belongs to the rich women association in Paris presently.
She's like a celebrity,everyone knows Darcie's kitchen,so obviously, everyone knows Darcie. She has a wild numbers of followers on Instagram.
Sonomi owns the biggest beauty salon in Paris.
Looking for Stay Young Salon?
They do everything relating to beauty,spa,hair,nails,face,body, everything.
She also belongs to the rich women association with a celebrity life style.
And lastly Khaleesi,it's no doubt that Khaleesi actually made it even more than Sonomi and Darcie.
Khaleesi owns a modeling agency,the company is in her name,she owns it.
She train models,popular models work for her.
Paragon is well known not just in Paris or France but internationally. They've won numbers of awards,their models are the most expensive and everything is just too perfect.
The most popular female model there, Dione won the title of Miss Universe last year and everyone's looking forward to seeing her win that again this year even though the year is just starting.
Back to Roseanne,she stood in front of Darcie,waiting for what she's going to say.
"You know what your lateness means right?" Darcie asked and Roseanne nodded.
Darcie rolled her eyes and went out,it's obvious she was leaving,she had her bag in her hand.
Roseanne sighed and greeted the other waitresses before going in to change into her uniform.
*
"What's the problem? You look pissed" Sonomi stated as Darcie joined her in the car.
"What do you think the problem is?" Darcie scoffed.
"Rose again? I don't know what you were thinking before taking her in.." Sonomi muttered.
"I just wanted to show her that she will always remain behind us,she will worship me as the slave she is" Darcie said and they both laughed.
"I love your point,honestly" Sonomi smiled and started the car.
"What time is Khaleesi's flight landing?" Darcie asked,applying a lipstick.
"In an hour,I'm on my way to the airport already" Sonomi responded and stepped on the engine.
"Crisanio arrives today also right?" Sonomi asked,now applying some lipstick on her lips.
"Babe! You remind me,tomorrow is the launching,we should go shopping" Darcie said excitedly.
"You seriously think Crisanio will notice you? Even Khaleesi has been trying for years,girl forget it" Sonomi laughed.
"Who knows,even if it's not Crisanio tomorrow,we all know that only billionaires are attending that damn launching tomorrow,I need to get a catch at least,even if it's a one night stand,I need some cool money" Darcie winked.
"Go girl" Sonomi said and they both laughed out.

CRISANIO'S PRIVATE AIRPORT*
About twenty bodyguards were already standing on both sides right at the plane entrance,ten on each sides,all looking hefty and giant with their sparkling black suits.
The plane door opened,revealing him,Crisanio Othello looking mad sexy and hot in his CEO special attire. His height is something one could study,his glasses placed well giving him both the innocent and bad boy look.
His hair's styled properly and some fell on both sides of his head,Crisanio slides in his two hands into his pocket and started getting down,all heads bowed in a single sync,then his secretary followed,that's Han.
He's the one holding the bag and some few things,Crisanio never allow anyone else close to his personal things,that's why Han's salary is much higher than any usual secretary you would meet.
He's not just a Secretary but a PA as well.
"You're welcome boss!!" All the guards chorused at once.
Crisanio only rolled his eyes and started walking toward one of the cars,the guards ran after him and passed him as well.
They quickly opened the door for him.
"Throw this shitty car out,I told you I don't want to see it again" Crisanio said in his usual calm but deep voice,he touched his forehead.
"We are sorry sir!" They all bowed.
Han opened the door to another car for him,of course he's the only one who knows what's going on in Crisanio's mind without even saying it.
Crisanio ignored the guards still bowing and entered the car,Han bowed and closed the door back.
"Get out,Han will drive me" Crisanio snapped at the driver and without thinking twice,he rushed out of the car.
Han dropped the stuffs in his hands and entered the driver's side,the guards all remained bowed till Han drove off.
"And where are we supposed to throw the car at? I can't remember him using this car for a month" One of the guards said.
"Are you new here? You know when he says throw it away,that means,drive the car to secretary Han's house" Another bowed.
"He deserves it,I mean,he's the only one who can handle boss's attitude,I swear I stopped breathing just now,even though he wasn't shouting"
Back inside the car,Crisanio was scrolling through his ipad while really focused.
"The Risanio 199 CT 2025 Model launching starts tomorrow by 11am boss,alot of the guests have been arriving,I got all the informations in there as you can see,I think we are going to have the biggest opening this time around" Han explained.
Crisanio dropped the ipad and removed his glasses.
"Where should we go right now boss?" Han asked.
"To the company,it's been three days"
"I think you need some rest first boss..."
"Go" Crisanio cut him off.
Han bowed shortly and stepped on the speed.
Crisanio opened a gum and threw it into his mouth,he used the airpods also.
*
* The boss is here everyone!!
* Gather around!
* He's here!
Each buildings in the company scattered as they all rushed out immediately Han drove in.
He got out and opened the door for Crisanio and he stepped out,a frown appeared on his face seeing everyone outside bowing.
* You're welcome sir....
"Get back to work if you love your job" Crisanio snapped before they could even finish.
Immediately,they scattered again and ran off.
Han chuckled and shook his head as he stared at them,he saw Alyssa standing behind a pole and waving at him.
He smiled and winked at her before walking away.
"He just winked at me!!!" Two ladies beside Alyssa gasped and started jumping.
"Gosh Secretary Han is so hot!"
"Just too hot,I want him!"
Alyssa smiled and shook her head,she walked away while playing with the company's ID card on her neck.
A short introduction,She's been friends with Han for about twenty years? They met when they were five years old and now they are both twenty five,still friends.
"I seriously can't wait for tomorrow" Her colleague were busy chatting when she entered the office which she shares with about five others.
Alyssa smiled and walked to her space.
"Me too,I have a feeling it will be the best car Risanio will ever produce,for now anyway...congrats to all of us,we worked for it" She said.
"Yeah!!" Everyone chorused.
*
10PM, A BAR HOUSE*
Roseanne's phone beeped from inside her skirt pocket while serving some drinks,it's an alarm to tell her it's time to leave,her shift is over.
"Hé, femme s+xy" one of the boys around the table spoke in french and spanked Roseanne's ass,a loud gasp escaped her lips.
"I felt it bouncing! I saw it!" Another one in the group said and they all burst into laughter.
Roseanne swallowed and clenched her fist,but she couldn't do anything,the last time she slapped a customer,her boss divided her salary into three parts and gave her the least.
She was beginning to get used to it,but that doesn't mean she doesn't cry in the corner of her room,just thinking about the harassment alone makes her cry.
It doesn't just happen once in a day,but how is she going to quit the job? Even though she's working in three different places,still the money isn't enough to even take care of herself.
She can't remember the last time she got herself clothes or shoes,she doesn't own a single body care or hair care,all her life,she thinks of how to get their mom's medication and how to pay her sister's tuition.
Roseanne sniffed in her tears,she was now sitting at the bus stop waiting for the last bus which will be there any moment from now.
She stared at her shoes and more tears rolled down her eyes,they look so old,but not tattered yet,but at the point to.
She wiped her tears and took a band from her bag when her hair was beginning to disturb her,she packed it in a ponytail and just then,the bus arrived.
Immediately,she stood up and entered.
About thirty minutes later,she got home and as expected,it was all quiet,meaning her mom and sister are asleep.
Roseanne went to her room and fell flat on the bed after throwing her bag somewhere on the floor,she stayed in the same position for some minutes before getting the strength to walk into the bathroom.
After taking her bath,she went out and entered the kitchen to see if there was food,but nothing.
Roseanne sighed and wonder why Miray didn't prepare anything,just as she was thinking about that,Miray walked into the kitchen.
"You're still awake" Roseanne said.
Miray nodded and fetched a full glass of water for herself.
"No dinner? Why?" Roseanne asked.
Miray faced her after drinking.
"I returned late from school,I was trying to cover up from the private lesson note I couldn't attend coz I haven't paid my fees" She replied.
"Oh..are you still hungry? I can prepare something for just us...."
"What about my tuition? I have to pay before this week runs out" Miray cut in.
"Can you be a little patient with me? I'm trying to..."
"But your best isn't enough sis, I can't miss my exams just because there's no money,you don't want me to become a drop out like you right?" Miray snapped and Roseanne blinked.
"Are you saying...it's my fault...."
"Then whose fault? Of course it's your fault sis,dad died because he was looking for money to pay your tuitions! I was barely in school,it was all about you and he died because of you!! I'm here struggling because of you too!! I don't deserve any of these at all!! I don't wanna work in bars or restaurant as a poor waitress like you,that's why I take my school serious" Miray yelled at her,she glared at Roseanne before storming out of the kitchen.
Roseanne swallowed,she had to get hold of something when she started losing her breath as she tried not to cry out loudly.
She ran out of the kitchen and entered her room,then the tears came running down her cheeks.
She sat down on the floor,her tears dropping on the floor as she cried,she hugged her knees to herself.
Maybe her sister is right,everything was because of her,their father struggled because of her school fees,it was all her fault.
Roseanne cried her eyes out in the same position,forgetting the fact that she was hungry. She started thinking of different ways,maybe she should add one more part time job?
But how is she going to survive that? Just how in the world?
She wiped her tears and sat down on the bed,still thinking.
That moment,her phone rang and she answered,just because she needed someone to talk to and Mareen,her best friend called at the right time.
"Hey girl!!" Mareen gushed excitedly on the phone and quickly switched it to a video call.
"Help me pick an outfit for tomorrow" She said,showing Roseanne her wardrobe.
"What's the event?" Roseanne asked.
"Crisanio Othello! Are you kidding me? Tomorrow is the launching the world have been waiting for!!" Mareen screamed again.
"And I'm part of the reporters covering the news live, tomorrow,I need to look great,so help me" Mareen said.
She's a reporter,they've been friends since high school but unfortunately for Roseanne,she couldn't graduate with them.
Roseanne sighed and Mareen noticed.
"Don't tell me you cried,your eyes..."
"I don't know what to do anymore,,maybe if only I had at least graduated from high school I could get a job with more decent pay? I have a lot to do but I can't even feed properly" Roseanne muttered.
Mareen sighed.
"I swear Roseanne,I'm trying too. It's just too hard finding a space for you,,they won't accept someone with no certificate,but I promise to always let you know whenever there's an opportunity"
"It's okay,let's get straight to the point" Roseanne said.
Mareen grinned and showed her wardrobe immediately.
Roseanne has a really great fashion sense,since her dream was to become a supermodel,everything lives rent free in her brain without even trying.
"Gosh! Thanks bestie,I swear you are better than Dione" Mareen winked and Roseanne chuckled.
"You look really excited" Roseanne muttered.
"Are you joking?! Do you know who Crisanio is? It's my first time seeing that idol,I heard he's even more handsome in person than the pictures we see,I can't wait girl,can't wait,even if it's just a glimpse" Mareen chuckled.
"Tell me you don't have a crush on him too" Mareen grinned.
"Crush? What's my business with a multi billionaire I might never get to see till I die?" Roseanne scoffed.
"Oh please" Mareen groaned.

CRISANIO'S PENTHOUSE*
The automatic gate swung open, three cars glided in, Han and Crisanio in the first. The compound was bathed in a warm, golden glow, with soft lights illuminating the winding driveway. The night air sparkled with the gentle shimmer of string lights, woven through the trees like a celestial tapestry.
A stunning fountain cascaded blue water, surrounded by vibrant flowers stands at the middle of the compound with lights shining upon it, making it more beautiful.
The buildings are tall,beautiful and mesmerizing to look at,like it's actually paradise on earth.
All the cars drove straight into the garage,also full of cars,a stranger who doesn't know Crisanio might actually think the garage is a car company on it's own.
Crisanio stepped out of the car all the guards bowed low,Han also came down.
As expected,Crisanio acted like he didn't see them and just went in,Han followed him.
The door automatically opened after scanning the familiar faces and they entered.
They passed few turns before finally entering the living room and met the last thing one could ever think of doing in Crisanio's house.
"Welcome baby!!!" Came a loud scream from upstairs.
That's Amerie,his s+x partner,but that's not the problem right now.
It's the decorations of words in the air,,Crisanio stopped walking as he read what's written there.
*WELCOME BACK HOME, I LOVE YOU!*
What?! Love?!!
All the maids gathered somewhere together as if they were asked to do that, Han moved over to stand beside a woman in her fourties,everyone calls her Lady Amber,she's Crisanio's chef and the one allowed to enter his suite,for cleaning or any other things.
"You didn't tell her?" Han asked in a whisper.
"I did,but she didn't listen" Amber whispered back and they both turned to watch the drama.
"I missed you" Amerie smiled prettily and climbed down the stairs,she was only in a bathrobe.
She got to where Crisanio was standing and hugged him.
Crisanio's face was cold.
"Han" He called.
"Yes boss" Han immediately moved closer.
"Throw her out" Crisanio muttered.
Amerie broke the hug with wide eyes.
"Crisanio...."
"If she use the next second here Han,forget about your job" Crisanio uttered calmly.
Immediately,Han swept Amerie off her feet and started running out.
"Nooo!!! Let me go!!!"
Crisanio looked at all the maids coldly and they immediately fell on their knees.
"We warned her,but she insisted,sir" Amber also bowed.
Han returned back.
"I will take anything that belongs to her from the house boss" he said.
Crisanio said nothing and started climbing the stairs,then paused and turned again.
"Look for someone else to sign the contract,I will give you twenty four hours" He said.
"I will do that sir" Han replied.
"Someone with sense this time" Crisanio added before going upstairs.
"Just kill me" Han mumbled helplessly.
