Chapter 1
You get up on a rainy day and look out the window. Many cars are driving down the street. It's a typical Monday morning, many people on the streets, stressed because they have important appointments or are late for work. You go into your bathroom and take a warm shower. The warm water goes over your skin, making you feel very relaxed. You get out of the shower after thirty minutes and blow dry your hair, then you do your skincare. You take a clip and put your hair back. You put on something comfortable and go downstairs. As expected, Haz is not there, but he left you a note like every morning. "Good morning sis, unfortunately I didn't manage to stay home longer again. I don't know if I'll be able to get home today because I have a lot to do and I'm flying to New York tomorrow. Please don't be sad. I love you." "Just like every morning" you say to yourself and go to the kitchen. You fix yourself some breakfast and sit down on the couch to watch some TV. You've barely spoken a word to Haz since he started working at his best friend's house. He leaves early and comes home very late. You just notice how he always walks into your room and kisses your forehead. He is the best brother you could imagine, but you miss him a lot. Just doing something with him again would be just wonderful. After you finish eating, you put your dishes away and get dressed to get some fresh air. You put on longer clothes, then you take your coat and a scarf. You grab your apartment key and head out. You just love to walk around New York. The fresh air is good for you. You look around and see a newspaper store. You go in and pay for a paper, like every morning, looking for a new job. At first you don't find anything, but after a few minutes of reading you see an ad for a company called "ArtLife". Somehow this name seems familiar to you, but you don't know where it comes from. You read the ad carefully and see that they are looking for a new secretary. You immediately pick up your phone and type in the number that is in the ad. After a few seconds of waiting, a nice lady picks up. "Company ArtLife you are speaking with Ms. Smith, how can I help you?" she says with a nice tone. "Good morning, my name is y/n Osterfield. I'd like to apply for the new secretary position with them," you say with a somewhat shy tone. "You mean the job with Mr. Holland?" she asks you. "Yes, that's the job I mean" you say with a more confident tone. "Please send us your application documents and we will get back to you". She tells you where to send all the documents and then hangs up. After all, this is already the first step. Hopefully you can convince her with your application. It's not the first application you've sent out. You've given up a bit since you haven't been accepted anywhere. But you have a good feeling about this job. After you stay a little longer in the fresh air, you go back and get your computer that Haz got you back then. You look up the company on the Internet and see that it is the largest architectural firm in London. You immediately think that you are not good enough for the company. After reading up on the firm, you realize where the firm looks familiar. Harrison works in this company. You automatically think that you might have a chance to work with your brother. Then you can finally see him more often and talk to him more. You immediately start writing your application. You go through everything in detail. You have a very good degree, but a good degree is not everything. You read everything very carefully. You don't want to have a mistake in your application. Just as you were about to send it off, the doorbell rings. You go to the door and in front of you is your best friend Evie with her little son Leo. "Hey Evie are you and the little boy doing here?" you ask her slightly surprised because you didn't expect her to come to you". She smiles at you "I have a request for you, could I maybe come in?". You nod to her and let her enter. She sits down on the couch with Leo, who is sleeping peacefully. "So, what do you want to talk about?" She smiles at you again and then looks briefly at Leo. "I have a date tonight and I would need someone to watch Leo. Could you possibly watch him?" she gives you a slightly anxious look, thinking you might say no. "It's only for a few hours too," you have to smile because she really thinks you're saying no. "Evie stay calm. Of course I'll take care of little Leo. I'm so happy for you. Finally you have a date". Now she smiles at you even more and you can see how much she is looking forward to this date.
