The demon ceo

In a dimly lit room, a lady was frantically kicking and punching anything close to her, in her sleep she was whimpering and mumbling some incoherent words.

    She was sweating profusely "no... mummy don't go..." Her lips quivered as her eyes shot open immediately.

    She was breathing heavily, she sat up from her bed.

    Her bedside lamp turned on immediately to reveal her friend's worried face.

    Lyra patted Racheal's back slowly it has become a usual routine for them to wake up in the middle of the night because of her nightmares.

    Racheal lost her parents at an early age to a car accident on their way to a family picnic.

    Unfortunately for them they couldn't make it there after the car fell off a cliff, only Racheal survived and was later taken to an orphanage where they both met and became best of friends.

    She couldn't bear seeing her friend like this, so she hummed a lullaby that Racheal loves to listen to since she was a child.

     Few minutes later Racheal calmed down and soon drifted to sleep on Lyra's laps.

   Lyra maintained that position and rested her back on the bed still humming the lullaby till she drifted into sleep again.

     The next morning the alarm clock beside the bed woke the two from their sleep.

    Racheal was the first to get up only to realize she slept on Lyra's laps. She must have been uncomfortable throughout the night.

    Lyra sluggishly opened her eyes "is it morning yet?" She mumbled loud enough for Racheal to hear.

    Racheal's eyes darted to the clock and hurried out of the bed.

   She had an interview today and she has only twenty minutes to get ready or else she might miss it.

    She rushed to her wardrobe ransacking it for a suitable outfit to wear,"don't worry go and freshen up I will take care of that" lyra hurriedly got out of bed to help her friend.

   Racheal came out of the bathroom to see lyra fast asleep, she smiled shaking her head. She knew lyra was tired because of her.

    She picked up the outfit lyra brought out, lyra loves fashion a lot and she has helped her a lot whenever it came to her dress.

    It was a black pencil skirt and a white chiffon blouse she nodded at Lyra's choice.

    She got ready immediately and kissed lyra goodbye before leaving the apartment hurriedly.

      Racheal arrived at the front desk of the company " hi I'm here for the interview" Racheal casually stated to see the scrutinizing gaze the receptionist gave her.
