****************************************
"Grrrrr" the alarm sound erupted, making a female figure on the bed groan loudly. The alarm sounded again, and she reached for it, throwing it away.
She jumped down from the bed, realizing what she had just done.
Her brown, messy hair covered her cute and pretty face. She wore a huge, round-neck top with sweatpants, looking small in it.
"Oh no! I don't have any money to buy another alarm, I'm so broke!" she said, ruffling her hair in a funny way.
Her kid brother, Terry, burst in, making her frown.
"Hey, can't you knock? What if I'm naked?" she snapped, causing Terry to burst into laughter.
"What's up?" she asked, wondering why he was laughing.
"I really pity your future husband, you're not even pretty. Look at your hair, your face... humph" he said, checking her out. Tiara smacked his head.
"All I know is that I'm still pretty, so I don't care about whatever you say" she said, rolling her eyes before sitting on the bed with a loud sigh.
"Where are Mom and Dad?" she asked.
"In the restaurant" he answered.
"Aren't you going to school?" she asked.
"I'm in my school uniform, sis. Are you seriously blind?" he answered with a frown.
"Yah! (Hey in Korean)" she shouted.
"Tskk, the only Korean language you know. Better go find a boyfriend or you wanna become a nun" Terry said, eyeing her.
"I regret asking Mom to give me a kid bro, you're just a headache" she said with a groan.
"You should be happy to have a handsome, intelligent, and obedient kid bro like me, not complaining" he said, putting his hands on his waist funnily.
"Just shut up, I don't have time for you. I'm tired" she mumbled.
"Tired? Really? Do you know what time it is? You're working, big sis! Wake up! It's past 9!" Terry shouted, and she immediately sprang up.
"Past what?" she asked with bulging eyes.
"9!!" Terry yelled.
She quickly ran to the bathroom like a flash, making Terry burst into another round of laughter.
"I just pray you won't lose your job" Terry shouted after her.
"I hate you, Terry!" she shouted from the bathroom.
"I hate you too, Tiara!" He shouted back and then walked out of the room.

15 minutes later, she rushed from the bathroom back to her room, wrapping a towel around her. She removed the towel and flung it aside, disappearing from view. She quickly ran to her wardrobe, scattering clothes everywhere, and finally grabbed a short blue floral gown. She put on a blue bra and blue panties hastily before wearing the dress, which stopped above her knees. She looked adorable in the fitting dress, accentuating her small stature.
Then, she remembered she hadn't creamed, but she waved it off and rushed to the dressing table. She grabbed a comb and hastily combed her messy hair before checking herself in the mirror.
Next, she ran to the shoe rack and chose a pair of pure white tennis shoes, which she quickly put on.
She grabbed a blue handbag hung on the wall and snatched her phone from the shelf beside her bed before rushing out of the room.
She met Terry about to leave the house.
"Wow, that was quite fast, big sis!" he said with a mocking tone, but Tiara ignored him and ran to the dining room. She grabbed the jug filled with water and poured a glass, gulping it down quickly.
She couldn't start her day without drinking water. She took an apple and immediately rushed out of the house, pushing Terry out of the way.
"Bye, sis!" Terry shouted after her.
"Bye, kiddo!" Tiara shouted back, running swiftly, her hair flying behind her.
"Hey Tiara, you're quite late to work!" a woman shouted.
"Yeah, I overslept!" Tiara shouted back.
"Bye, Tiara!" the woman shouted, waving at her.
"Bye, ma'am!" Tiara shouted back, waving at her. Some people waved at her too, and she waved back.
No doubt, everyone loved her. She ran to the roadside and luckily saw a taxi, waving her hand to flag it down. The taxi stopped, and she got in before it drove off.
A few minutes later, the taxi stopped in front of a beautiful bakery shop. The sign on the building read
"R&R Baking Shop"
She got out and paid the taxi driver before rushing into the bakery shop. She went straight to the changing room and met her friend Rita inside.
"Seriously, Tiara, what are you doing coming in so late?" Rita asked with a frown.
"I'm sorry, I overslept" Tiara replied, removing her dress and wearing her work clothes, a white short gown and a red apron with "R&R" written on the front.
"Oh, not again! Anyway, let's go. You should thank your lucky stars that the boss isn't around" Rita said, storming out of the room.
"Rita, I'm sorry. I won't come late again" Tiara said, finishing dressing up and running after her.
"Rita, come on" she said, catching up with her. Rita turned to her with a frown.
"Bribe me and I'll forgive you" Rita said, and Tiara furrowed her eyebrow.
"Chocolate?" Tiara asked, and Rita shrugged.
"Of course, what else?" she rolled her eyes.
"Let's go, we need to bake more cupcakes" Rita said, and Tiara nodded, following her to the bakery kitchen, where the delicious aromas wafted out to the cozy café area, inviting customers to indulge in their freshly baked treats.

**L. ROSS COMPANY**
LUCAS'S OFFICE
The office was enormous and stunning, with a floor that gleamed like a mirror. A swivel chair and an expensive glass table sat in the center of the room, accompanied by a set of sky-blue couches placed beside a large, transparent window offering a view of the city. A fridge and a large TV mounted on the wall added to the office's luxurious ambiance.
The ceiling featured beautiful lighting, further emphasizing the wealth and opulence of the space. An inner room served as a resting area.
Seated in the swivel chair, Lucas Ross worked intently on his laptop, wearing transparent blue glasses and a light blue shirt with the first three buttons undone, revealing his chiseled chest. His navy blue office pants complemented his outfit, while his expensive blue suit hung on the back of the chair. Lucas's handsome face exuded a cold, serious expression, with deep eyebrows, red lips, a pointed nose, and captivating eyelashes that made him incredibly attractive. His black hair fell across his face, giving him a bad-boy look.
Someone knocked, but Lucas didn't look up or respond. The person knocked again, prompting Lucas to say,
"Come in" in an authoritative voice. His male secretary entered, looking professional in his black suit.
"Are they here already?" Lucas asked, still focused on his laptop.
"Yes, sir" his secretary replied.
Lucas stopped typing, closed his laptop, and stood up, putting on his suit. His secretary couldn't help but admire Lucas's handsomeness, feeling a hint of jealousy despite being a handsome man himself.
Lucas walked out of the office, and his secretary gathered the six phones from the table before following him.
As they were walking, his workers were bowing and greeting, but he didn't respond, he just kept a poker face on. They couldn't help but drool over him, but if you stare at him too much, you will either be sacked or won't collect your monthly salary.
The sound of his shoes echoed, they stopped in front of his private elevator, leading to the private meeting room where the people he's meeting were, the elevator was for him and his secretary only, no workers allowed. It opened, and they stepped in, it closed, and they waited for 5 minutes before it led them to the meeting room.
The elevator door opened, and they walked in. The room was quite large and elegant, with a set of couches set in the middle. The walls and floor looked like mirrors, and the large transparent glass window showed the view of the city.
A large TV hung on the wall, the room was screaming nothing but wealth.
The men he was doing business with saw him with his secretary and stood up. They were three in number.
"Hi, Mr. Lucas" they greeted, one of them stretching his hand for a handshake, but Lucas ignored it.
"Hi" he replied coldly before sitting down on the sofa. They also sat down on the sofa on his left side him since he was in the middle.
"We are very happy to meet you today" one of them said, whose name was Micas.
"Go straight to the point, I only have 5 minutes to use here" he said icily.
"We are sorry, so we would like to invest here, so we would like you to sign here" one of them said handling them a paper.
"Robert" Lucas called, referring to his secretary.
Robert immediately went to take the paper before handing it to Lucas, who checked it briefly. He stretched his hand, and his secretary gave him a pen, he took the pen and signed on the paper, and Robert took it and gave it back.
Robert handed them a paper to sign he took inside his brief case. After signing, he collected the paper back before putting it inside his the brief case.
"Nice doing business..." They were still talking when Lucas stood up and walked out, followed by his secretary.
"With you, Mr. Ross" they completed before exchanging a glance.
"He is so cold" one of them spoke up, and the others sighed.
_____
ELEVATOR
"Any schedule?" Lucas asked, his hand in his pocket.
"Hmm, no sir, your schedule is done for today, so you are free, sir" Robert answered.
"Take me home" Lucas said.
"Alright, sir" Robert responded, but then he remembered something.
"Sir, your father called me an hour ago, but because you were busy, I chose not to disturb you" he said.
"What did he say?" Lucas asked.
"He said you should come to the penthouse" Robert replied.
"That old man" Lucas mumbled.
The elevator door opened, and they stepped out before walking out of the company. They got to his car, where his driver was present inside. Lucas entered the backseat, while his secretary went to the passenger seat, and his driver started the car.
"To the penthouse" Robert said, and the driver nodded.
"Is there any place where they sell strawberry cupcakes around here?" Lucas asked, his eyes closed.
"Yeah, there is, R&R Baking shop. Should I get you some strawberry cupcakes there?" Robert replied.
"Do I need to tell you what to do?" Lucas said, his eyes still closed.
"I'm sorry, sir" Robert apologized.
Not too long after, they arrived at the shop, and the driver stopped the car. Robert got down and went inside the shop.

~R&R BAKING SHOP~
Tiara was selling cookies to a customer when Rita came to her side.
"Hey Tiara, I want you to give this cake to that man over there. I heard he's quite harsh, and you know I have a hot temper, so go to him, and I'll sell the cookies" Rita said, and Tiara nodded.
She took the cake, a whole cake, as people often eat at the bakery, which doubles as a restaurant. She approached the man, who was quite old but not too old.
"Hello, sir, this is your cake" Tiara said politely, placing the cake on the table.
The old man stared lustfully at her.
As she turned to leave, the man slapped her butt, and she gasped, slapping him back in anger. The man sprang up, enraged, and threw the entire cake at Tiara's face. Her eyes widened in shock.
"You bitch, how dare you slap me!" the man spat, furious.
Mr. Gideon, the bakery owner, rushed to intervene.
"I'm sorry, sir, please may I ask what happened?" he asked.
"You don't need to know, I just want her sacked now" the man yelled.
"But, sir, she's one of our hardworking workers" Mr. Gideon protested.
"Really? Then should I get your building demolished?" the man threatened, and Mr. Gideon's eyes widened in fear.
He is one of his rich and powerful customers, he can do anything with just a snap of his fingers.
"Sorry, sir, I will do that right away" Mr. Gideon said, and Tiara's throat went dry.
"Sorry, Tiara, you are sacked. I hope you find another place to work. I can't afford to lose my shop" he said.
"No, boss, please! I don't want to lose my job, please, boss" Tiara begged tearfully, and her friend Rita joined in.
"Please, boss, don't sack Tiara" Rita said, going down on her knees.
"Do you want to join her?" Mr. Gideon asked.
"Huh, sir... I..." Rita stuttered, unsure of what to say.
"Get in, pack your things, and leave, Tiara" Mr. Gideon said before walking away, bowing respectfully to the man.
"Let this be a lesson to you not to mess with me" the man said before walking out.
Tiara walked dejectedly to the changing room, changed back into her normal clothes, and packed a few things before leaving. She met Rita on the way out and smiled sadly.
"Tiara" Rita called out sadly.
"You haven't cleaned up the cake yet. I'm so sorry, this was all my fault. If I hadn't told you to go there, you wouldn't have been sacked" she added.
"It's okay, Rita, I have to go" Tiara said, and they hugged each other for a few minutes before walking out of the restaurant. She bumped into Robert, who was about entering the shop, and apologized before finally going out.
"Why is she stained with cake?" he mumbled to himself before entering the shop.
Tiara saw an expensive car parked outside and approached it, thinking no one was inside since all the windows were closed. She decided to use the car's window to arrange her hair and clean the cake still on her face.
She dropped her handbag on the car's bonnet, took a handkerchief from the bag, and walked to the side window. She cleaned the cake with the handkerchief, but it didn't come off well. She pouted her lips cutely before bursting into tears.
"What should I do now? I'm jobless, so jobless" she cried out, unaware she was being watched from inside the car. Lucas and his driver stared at her blankly.
The driver roll down the window, and Tiara, still ranting and crying, gasped loudly.
"Miss, are you okay?" the driver asked, and Tiara nodded.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't know someone was in" she said, bowing her head. Her eyes caught a figure at the back seat with his eyes closed, she can't really see him well and she was about to look at his face when the window rolled back up.
Robert, who had finished buying strawberry cupcakes, entered the car and his eyes caught tiara.
He told the driver to roll down the window again.
"Are you okay, miss?" he asked, and Tiara nodded.
She took her handbag from the bonnet before leaving the car side.
BACK IN THE CAR,
"Sir, the cupcakes" Robert said, handing the cupcakes to Lucas, who took one out.
"Eat some if you like" he said coldly.
"Thank you, sir" Robert replied. The driver ignited the engine and drove to the penthouse.
Meanwhile, Tiara was busy finding a taxi. She found one luckily and got in, sitting at the back of the driver, resting her back on the seat.
"Where are you going, miss?" the driver asked, staring at Tiara awkwardly through the front mirror because of the cake stain on her face and hair.
"Jones Restaurant" she said before sighing loudly and the driver started the car, she was about closing her eyes, When her eyes caught a flier on the passenger seat. She sat up straight and reached for it.
"You want to be a maid?" the driver asked.
"Huh, maid?" Tiara mumbled before checking the flier. She gasped seeing it.
'A MAID IS NEEDED IN LUCAS ROSS MANSION, AND THEY WILL BE PAID $2000 MONTHLY, KINDLY COME TO ROSS MANSION IF INTERESTED, THANK YOU!'
"Oh my gosh, isn't this money too much?" Tiara asked with wide eyes.
"It's a lot, but you can't be picked easily. I heard those who applied were later disqualified. Mr. Lucas Ross is quite picky" the driver replied.
"Who is Lucas Ross, though?" Tiara asked.
"You must be kidding, you don't know who Mr. Lucas is?" the driver said surprisingly.
"I seriously don't know. Is he an old man or a young man?" she asked curiously.
"He is the top 1 richest in California, has a wine company called L.ROSS, and is so handsome, cute, hot, s+xy... He's every lady's man, but too bad he's single and doesn't look like he's searching" the driver said, and Tiara blinked her eyes rapidly.
"Ohhhh" she mouthed.
'But why is he complementing him like a lady who is crushing on her prince charming?' Tiara thought with a cute frown, and the driver noticed it.
"Any problem, miss?" he asked.
"No problem" she replied.
"Can I take this with me, mister?" she asked.
"Yes, miss, you are free" the driver replied, and Tiara nodded.
The car stopped at Jones Restaurant, and she got down, paid him, and went inside.
She greeted the customers respectfully, and they smiled at her. She went to the restaurant kitchen and saw her mom and dad cooking.
"Hi, Mom and Dad" she greeted.
"Oh, my baby Tiara, why are you here at this time, and why are you stained with cake?" her mother asked, and Tiara pouted her lips sadly.
"Anything wrong, Tiara?" her dad asked worriedly.
"I was sacked from my job" she blurted out, her eyes glassy, and her parents' eyes widened.
"What!!"
