Better Love In A Photo

Sophia's Pov

"Mum I'm leaving" I yelled, banging the door behind me.

"What about breakfast? You haven't had it yet."

"Nah, I'll eat when I get to the office."

"Don't worry about me. I'm fine."

The sun was dazzling in the sky as I stepped out of the house feeling the warmth of its rays on my skin.

I was thrilled and I felt a sense of happiness going through my veins as I thought of my colleagues.

I could not wait to see them, not because they promised me anything, but because they would ease the burdens of my workload.

I walked to the garage when my stomach made a loud noise.

Groaning inwardly, I was far from home already and I wondered if I had time to grab a quick meal before work because my colleagues would be waiting for me.

Without a second thought, I branched at a restaurant owned by my mum's friend.

God morning ma'am, I need to grab a quick bite before leaving for work?" I whispered, chuckling as Mrs Smith looked at me with a raised eyebrow.

"Why didn't you eat before leaving home?" She spat as I rolled my eyes.

"Well…I guess I was in a hurry. Can I have something to eat please?" I begged as she chuckled,shaking her head.

"Sure thing." she said, as she handed a plate of food.

I quickly grabbed a piece of toast and some fruits while giving Mrs Smith money and running out of the door.

"Don't come home with a broken leg", she teased.

I chuckled as I walked towards my car,every step seemed to fill me with joy and happiness.

I was discouraged when I remembered my boss who is an apathetic billionaire CEO, George Roberts.

The thoughts of spending the whole day working with a boss that has overlooked me and has an exterior layer of toughness that keeps others at a distance unnerved me.

I got into the car and stared the engine,as I became anxious.

This was going to be a long day and I couldn't wait to meet my colleagues and conquer the day with them.

I finally arrived at the office, and I walked towards my desk.

"Good morning Sophia," Jessica said, jumping on me, making me roll my eyes.

"Have you seen the boss?" I asked, ignoring her greetings.

"Come on, must it always be the boss?" She pouted rolling her eyes.

"It's not like that, I just wanted to be sure if he didn't arrive before me"

"Well..he didn't." she said as I turned to look at her.

"Good, what's Olivia up to?" I asked suspiciously.

She is my rival and the boss's favorite.

"Nothing. She is not yet in the office which is strange and you know." Jessica spat, as my mind drifted to the boss, I couldn't wait for the workload he was going to assign to me when he came to the office.

I walked to my desk as I turned on the lights, cleaned the chair and sat comfortably. As I flipped my hair putting on a sexy look.

I arranged my table, I then attended to the tasks that I left undone, doing my clerical duties.

I heard the sound of a car horn,I knew that my enigmatic boss was around. I stood up to greet him.

"Good morning sir". I said, while forcing a smile.

"Morning Sophia,how are you today?" He said walking towards his desk.
