Filthy Rich by Atarah Yvaine (books to read fiction TXT) 📗

"Earth to Heaven Amelie!!" Ali is snapping her fingers at me. I didn't know that I lost in my thoughts.

"You’re daydreaming about someone!!” She teased and I shake my head

“So, you want to hear what I got?" she asked again and I firmly shake my head

I suddenly got curious with her latest gossip. What makes her excited about it? Did something big happened?

"Tss okay. I already try to give you a warning. Don't be too shocked if this news just come in front of your face in no time." My eyebrows furrowed

Is she threatening me?

I just rolled my eyes at her.

She's been telling me that line for years now. I think she just want me to feel curious about it but I'm not going to let her win. Not this time not forever.

I quickly eat my breakfast and get in Kai's car. He will take me to my work today because I am too lazy to drive plus, I am really not a good driver. I always bumped my car somewhere.

I sit in the backseat because I know Ali will be sitting in the shot gun seat. She and Kai is inseparable. Cringey.

"Kai faster!!! I'm going to be late" I feel so happy that I finally got a chance to shout at him with his own lines.

He hurriedly gets inside the car followed by Ali. See? They are each other's shadow.

"Tomorrow we will be going at the beach. You can take a leave from work and come with us." Kai said while I am applying my make up in the moving car. I am already used in doing my make up like this because I am always tardy.

"Yeah, I also need to relax and rest." I agree and put a nude matte lipstick on my lips.

I am five minutes early when I reached our restaurant. My office is actually at home. I just need to visit and inspect the restaurant from time to time.

I love talking to the branch managers and checking how my employees are.

Actually, I don't have to do it personally but I want to. In this way I can make them feel that we have some sort of connections and we can resolve different dilemma faster because of that. Also, they needed to hear compliments from time to time for their accomplishments.

During times that I don't have much to do I also serve customers. I love socializing and talking to people nowadays. I am also trying my best to learn how to make our bestsellers coffee. I am entertaining myself to forget about something.

I stayed in the restaurant and help the crew all day. When I went home Ali and Kai is not yet home so I am alone. I engrossed myself in my laptop monitoring our financial statements. This is my life now. I finally understand why some people love to be work a lot.

I told someone to stop these habits before but now I can't even stop myself from being workaholic. This is the only thing that keeps me sane. Without tons of work, I don't think I will be able to move on.

This paper works prevents me from overthinking too much.

This helps me forget things for a while.

This paperwork brings me too much stress and tiredness but I am thankful for it because without those I don't think I will be able to sleep at night.

I spend my first year here crying and crying for I am longing for him. I always had the urge to go back to him. I lost weight and I thought I won't be able to be okay again.

I was physically and mentally broken.

I do not see any hope but thank God Ali's always here for me. She cheered me up and made me feel okay again. As time passes by, I learn to accept everything. I put all my time and focus on my studies. My heart is already broken and I promised myself that I will not let my life to break too.

There are some points in my life where I used to ask myself.

What if I didn't leave him?

What if I became selfish and chose to stay with him?

Will my life be different?

I slept thinking about those stuffs.

When I woke up, my neck hurts because I slept sitting in my swivel chair with my head on the table in front of my damn laptop.

Ouch. I think I got stiff neck. Its five in the morning. The numbness of my neck and body woke me up.

I stand up and carefully stretches my neck and my body. I go to the kitchen to make myself a cup of coffee. This drink never fails to make me calm and accompanied. I sit in the breakfast nook sipping my coffee and holding my phone on my hand.

I suddenly have the idea to install an Instagram application. I made a new account because my previous account was long forgotten and deactivated. I followed Ali and Kai first then my twin brothers Blake and Brandon. I stalk the twin’s accounts and those two teenagers really grew up so handsome like Kai. A lot of girls are commenting to their pictures. Hmmm.

I started to look for Tres’s account. I see that his profile is a cute little boy. I feel a different kind of excitement. I click his account and start stalking him. I never thought I will do this.
