*Recap*
I watch her as she drives out.

Karla's pov

It's 4 in the morning and I'm surfing through Tv channels.
I literally could not sleep.

I decide to switch the TV off and I walk down stairs in my jammies which consists of a deep grey oversized 5sos T-shirt and some graphic comic shorts which were short.

I decide to cook but when I look at the time I realize it's too early.

I walk around the house and eventually pass by the garden.

So I decide to put my garden skills to a test. I walk of to the shed, pick out the garden tools and start gardening.

I garden till my 5:00 alarm rings.

    I clean the tools and put them back in the shed, take off my gardening overalls and gloves and put them into the gardening hamper wash my hands and throw the plants rubbish into the compost dustbin and walk back inside.

I take a shower then, I head to the kitchen.

Grab the sugar, eggs, milk, salt and flour. I put them on the counter and pick up my tools (hand mixer, mixing bowls,etc) and start making the pancake mix from scratch.

And start cooking.

*Time lapse*

"Hi. I wanted to know whether you'll still be coming for your
3 o'clock?" Miranda, the secretary asks.

"Yes,of course. I'm on my way."
I said.

'Ofcourse I'm coming, I mean , I skipped my 5th period, that's library, to come over here.' I thought.

Ok see you there.
Miranda says and hangs up.

Right now I'm at the taxi station waiting for a taxi to arrive.

  I didn't know what to wear,
so I put on one of the 'business meeting' outfits my mom gets us when Dad's having a meeting with his partners and family needs to be there with a pair of nike air Force ones.

(Picture above)

I put my hair in a slicked back curls hairstyle with a few curls left astray.

I waited for a few minutes till the taxi came.

I check the time and it's 13:47 pm / 1:47pm and it's a 45 minute drive from Sunnyvale to the capital. I would have gone with one of the cars in the house but it would have been weird which would have made mom and Tina suspicious.

I bend my head a little to look at the driver through the shotgun window.

"Good afternoon miss. How are you, on this fine Thursday? The driver asked, he's black, also very tall probably 6'1 and is young probably a little older than I.

"I'm good thanks for asking."

"So where are we heading to?" He asks.

"To the Capital, 15company street."

*Time lapse*

Throughout the whole ride, we talked.

I found out that his name was Jeromé and he's 20. He's the oldest of three children and was an orphan. It was the fifth couple who he met who adopted him. He goes to Edgewater college which is close to the capital.

He loves driving and is a stan for a pickup lines. I mean, the whole time he used them on me and they were very funny and some interesting.

"Thanks for the ride." I said as I was going to open the door but he beat me to it and opens it.
I step out.

"Welcome pretty lady, but it's my job. Plus here's my card if you ever need a driver. Call me." He says and gently takes my his hand and puts his card in my hand.

"Thanks, again." I said.

"And I'll say, again, No problem."

"K,bye." I said, walking to the building.

I hear him holler, Bye.

I'm on the stairs at the entrance and I meet some security guards in front of the building.

They were literally like,

"Name"

Then I'd be like,

*Answer*

"State your business"

*Answer*

"ID"

*Handed it over*

The other security guard was looking at me weird though, I don't know if it's because my phone cover was literally themed around Lilo and Stitch or maybe because of my different shaded eyes.

I walk into the shiny glass building.When I enter the building I notice the place is more spacious.

I walk in and see the front desk and waiting seats, glistening tiled floors, beautiful big windows showing the beautiful afternoon sky.

I start to walk inside and I see  a woman at the front with her   back turned to me with the way she was sitting.

  I walk over to her.

She's holding an office phone and is talking with someone.

"Umm hi!" I said but she did not hear me so,*Clears throat*.

She looks at me and her eyes widen. She holds up two fingers and says, "Okay Ish, tell your Daddy to buy the chocolate chip ones not the ginger ones. *Pause* Alright, when I come home I'm making cookies. Remember to feed the fish. Love you!"

"Sorry about that, it was unprofessional of me.
Welcome To Richards &Co. I'm Miranda Curt the personal secretary for Sir Richard."
She says.

"Oh ok, it's nice to meet you, Miranda. I'm here for my 3 o'clock meeting with Mr.Richards, the father not the son." I said.
 
"Oh you must be Karla." She says.

"Yes that's me. I'm Karla Roland."

She stretches out her hand for a handshake. I shake it, it's a soft grip, very welcoming.
I feel my anxiety reduce.

I look at the hand I'm shaking.
Her palm is a little bigger than mine and her fingers are a little slender.

There are silver charmed bracelets which are right hand whiles on her other hand there's a beautiful crisp white watch on her hand which has a rose gold ring around it with the brand 'Chic!' engraved in it.

I let go first.

She checks her watch.

"Wow your 7 minutes early." She says and I give a small smile.

"Okay, please have a seat.

Before i go  would like something to drink?" She says then asks.

"Um, can I get water?" I ask.

*She passes me water from the small fridge behind the front desk.*

"Thanks. Wait, can I ask a question before you go?" I say.

"Ask away." She says.

"What do you guys working here use to differentiate the two men , speech wise. I mean you can't call both Mr. Richards. You know?" I said.

" Wow, that is a good question. Well we call the father senior and the son junior but now that Mr. Richards is passing over the title we won't be using it frequently." She answered.

"Oh ok, um is the son here?"
I

ask feeling a little panicky.

"

No he's not here, he is not even in the States. He's at a conference in Sweden. Let me inform Mr that your in." She says and I nod feeling relieved.

She proceeds to walk to the golden elvator. She presses the button and it opens. When it opens I get a glimpse of the polished golden doors with sandalwood floor.

* A few minutes later *

Since Miranda left, I've been listening to whiles waiting for her to come back. I couldn't sit down so I'm standing in the hallway  listening to one of Jimena's crazy songs.

When she comes back she says,
"Let's go we don't want to keep him waiting any longer.
He has patience for those who deserve it, but his son…........ that's a different story." 

And I follow like an obedient lamb trailing behind about to be offered for sacrifice.

She opens the lift. I get in first and she gets in. She click's on the button that had ,"Boss' floor" written on it. It 'Dings' when we come to a stop.

She steps out first.

She informs me that we're going to the conference hall where Mr. Richard will be waiting.

We walk for a while till we get to a glass room. The room is covered with blinds making the place look darker than it is. The door to room is open ajar.

"Sir? She's here." She calls out.

"Bring her in."  I hear an older voice say.

A/N:
OMG !!!! We are here!!!!! I've missed y'all so much with Karla's crazy plans. Let's see how this one turns out.
