Aargh
The alarm went off Bianca sat up stopping the alarm it was 5:30 in the morning and she's supposed to get to the office by 6am if she doesn't hurry up she'll be late. Few weeks ago,she was hired as an estate agent,has been doing good lately and the pay was good. To top it all the job was not so demanding of her. The only problem she had was waking up early every day to get to the office early not wanting to be fired she sometimes missed breakfast and atimes lunch to meet up with work. Bianca wore an office gown reaching her knees , grabbed a toast and her handbag.
"You're five minutes late again "Charlene, Bianca's best friend and coworker said
"I'm sorry woke up late "Bianca said dropping her bag on the table
"You're lucky boss hasn't arrived yet " Charlene said typing away furiously.
"That's rare. Anyways why arent you at your office "
"The typist hasn't arrived yet "Charlene replied
Just then a car pulled up in the driveway
"I'm off"
"Well you better be cause you have lots of work to do" Charlene replied after the hurrying Bianca.
"Where's the typist" A man over forty asked. He wore a blue suit with a white shirt and blue trousers matching his black shoe.
"Hasn't arrived, sir" Charlene said standing up to greet him
He walked past her
Few minutes later in Bianca's office the landline telephone rang.
"Hello,this is Bob's realtor line. Who's speaking "
"Yes,I'm looking for a house big enough to hd a family of five and it's well furnished"
"We have several of that but would you kindly send us your information so we can get back to you with images of the different houses we've got"
"Okay thanks "
At a huge mansion
"You may proceed lawyer "An aged man said from the look of him you could see and perceive wealth all over him.
"Yes,the will of Mr Quintl"the lawyer said. He took a look round the room then opened an envelope handing copies around.
"Mr Quintl was a good client of mine but sadly he passed away,he left all his property to one person that is Miss Mira Scott
"Excuse me lawyer An Lan, my father left all his property to a woman we have never seen before "a man in his early thirties said
"I was just as shocked as you Mr. Nickel but he said when this day comes i should tell you all that his will must be fulfilled "
"Grandfather "Nickel said looking at the aged man
"Who do you think this lady is father "another man in his late forties said also looking at the aged man
"I really dont know son " The man said
"Thnak you lawyer An Lan you may leave " a woman said hugging Nickel's hand
"Lee " the aged man said
"Yes "
"Find out who Mira Scott is and fast "
"Alright " Lee
"Father are we going to let all my brother's assets going to somebody else "
"It's what he wants " the aged man said bitterly
"The Nian family will not take that, he refused to take up the family name after he married that wretched woman"
"Respect my mother uncle" Nickel said standing up angrily with his fist clenched
"I am Nian Karl, I will not watch your father drag the Nian family name to dirt "he said leaving with his two grown sons
"Grandfather I too do not agree with this please reconsider "
"Quintl do you always trouble me"he said sighing

A year ago, Bianca met Charlene at an hotel meeting a client while she was working as a waitress soon enough. Charlene got interested in her since most of their companies dinner meetings were held in the hotel but because of qualifications. Bianca was put in a high position the same as Charlene's after her interview and Charlene and her became best of friends 🧡
But the fact that Bianca just got yhe job and is asking for a long term leave troubles Charlene
