Stuck with the Billionaire

Miriam rolled on the bed as she struggled not to wake up. Her alarm rang and she stretched her hand to reach it but couldn't. She loudly screamed as she angrily stood up, picked up the alarm, and forcefully turned it off. She sat back on the bed brushing her hair with her hand as she looked out of the window, she slowly let out a sigh as she lay on her back shutting her eyes.

''Are you not coming down for breakfast?''

A voice called from the stairs outside her room, it was her sister Sophia,

''I'm coming sis''

She responded and gently stood up and walked to the bathroom to brush her teeth. After brushing, she went to the dining table to have breakfast with her family. Everyone was already seated, and she joined them.

''Are you still going for the job interview?''

Edward asked Miriam and she nodded her head in agreement, and everyone continued eating in silence. When they were done, Miriam took the dishes to the kitchen and came back to go to her room when Edward called out to her and told her to come sit beside him.

''I'm very sorry you have to work, it's just that since we lost our parents, it has been difficult for me to feed everyone. I wish.......''

Miriam held his hand and squeezed it gently. He stared at her in the eyes and pulled her close, giving her a tight hug as tears ran down his eyes. Miriam gently stroked his back and said,

'' I know things are very difficult for us now, but I will do my best to help out''

Edward broke the hug and cleaned his eyes then said to her,

''Thank you so much, I promise that once I get a good job, you will stop working''

Miriam nodded her head and said to him,

''Alright, I am going to my room now so I can prepare, see you later''

Edward smiled faintly and said,

''Do have a nice day''

Miriam went back to her room and burst into tears, she picked up a picture from her room table. It was a picture of her complete family. She put it on her chest and said with a somber voice,

''Mom, Dad, I miss you''

Then she lay on the bed and closed her eyes.

Sophia quietly opened Miriam's door and saw her sleeping, she smiled and came closer, and sat at the edge of the bed. She took the picture gently from Miriam and kept it on the table, then she gently stroked her hair. This woke Miriam up and she sat up,

''Hey Sophia, anything the matter, I didn't know when you came in''

''No dear, just wanted to remind you that your interview will...........''

''Shit!!!!!!''

Miriam screamed as she rushed to grab her tower, then she said with a shaky voice,

''Honestly, I forgot''

Sophia stood up, went to her where she was trying to get her soap, took her hand, and said,

''Listen, honey, you don't have to go if you can't handle it''

''No, I can, I promise''

She rushed into the bathroom to have her bath while Sophia went to get some dress for her. when she came out, she dressed up and looked herself up in the mirror then turned to Sophia,

''How do I look?''

'' Perfect sweetheart''

Then she came closer and put a necklace around her neck, then they looked in the mirror,

''Baby, are you sure you can handle this?''
