My Sweet Mistake

CARLIFORNIA

The sun entered into the room through the opened window and shined brightly on her face. The door creaked opened and Mrs Miller entered into the room.

"Cindy wake up, you'll be late" she said tapping her on the bed.

"Just give me five more minutes" she murmured sleepily, moving on the bed.

"This is 8:05am, c'mon get up" she said and she spranged up almost immediately.

"Why didn't you wake me earlier" she said scurrying into the bathroom

She did her normal routine and came out of the bathroom. She dressed up hastily and head down stairs for breakfast. She took two slices of bread and a cup of tea before rushing out of the house. She checked the time and gasped.

"I'm dead" she muttered and flaged down a cab.

The cab halted in front of the big company and ' CROWN'S EMPIRE ' was boldly written on it

Cindy entered into the elevator and prayed silently not to see her boss. The door of the elevator opened and she came out. She peeped into her boss office and heaved a sigh of relief

"You're late" she heard the voice she has been running away from and she turned back slowly

"Hmm...Boss…Good morning sir" she greeted

"Why are you late" His voice echoed in the office

"I'm sorry boss, something came up" she lied

"That was your excuse yesterday, later in the noon go to the disciplinary committee" he said and was about entering his office when he talked again

"Get me my schedule for today" he said and left

"Oh my" Cindy muttered and dipped her finger into her hair. She sat down on her chair and began working on the laptop.

H.R INVESTMENTS

"Good morning boss" the workers greeted in unison immediately he entered into the building.

"Morning" Micheal smiled

He entered into the elevator and rode to the floor where his office is. The door opened few minutes later and he came out of the elevator. He entered into the office and met Sydney sitting regally on the chair, a frown appeared on his face immediately

"Sweetheart" she smiled and ran to hug him. She kissed him and he push her away roughly

"Get out" he said and almost immediately the door opened and Dave, Micheal's dad who is the chairman came in and Sydney started faking tears

"What's going on here" Dave's asked

"He hits me and push me away from him" Sydney replied feigning sadness

"How dare you" he yelled at Micheal

"Sorry Sydney, he lacks manner, blame his mother for not training him" Dave said to Sydney

"It's okay sir, I'm sure he'll come around"she replied and tears clouded Micheal's eyes

"Meet me at my office and also take her on a date after the day's work"he said and left

"Just love me already so you can get out of your dad's claws" Sydney said and kissed him. This time he didn't push her away but did not also reciprocate the kiss.

"See you in the evening" she said after she broke the kiss. She hugged him before taking her bag to leave.

Tears came out of his eyes as he remembered his mother, maybe all this won't be happening if she was still alive. He really hates his life right now, if not for his younger sister, Sweeney, he would have committed sucide.

How can his dad be controlling his life since he was a child even till now. He wiped his face and head to the washroom to wash his face after which he dabbed with a napkin.

He was about to start working when a knock came on the door

"Come in" he said and Travis, his only friend since elementary days came in

"How are you doing buddy" he greeted

"I'm fine, how are you doing" Micheal asked

" I'm fine what's with your face" Travis inquired

"I'm okay"

"I don't believe you, something is wrong"

"I know you cried again, just be fine" Travis said patting his shoulder

CHAIRMAN DAVE'S OFFICE

Micheal entered into the office and a slap landed on his face.

"Why are you just here" Dave demanded angrily

"I was in a meeting" Micheal replied simply

"So…" Dave asked and silence followed

"The presentation for Monday is now today so get ready, the time will be sent to you and after the presentation you'll be going to represent the company at Key groups of company "He said and Michael left immediately

A knock came on the door and Cora, his secretary came in with some files.

" The files have been sorted, these ones will only need your signature while you'll have to review this proposals" she said dropping two piles of files on the table

" When are they needed"

"These ones will be needed before the presentation while these ones can wait till Monday" she replied

"When is the time for the presentation" he inquired

"It has been scheduled for 2:00pm and the board of directors will be here by 1:30pm which is exactly two hours from now" she replied

"Okay can go" he said and she left

He dipped his hand into his hair and then checked the time, It is really two hours from now. How is he going to sign the required documents and prepare for the presentation on time
