Chapter one

CHAPTER ONE

It was early summer, the sun had began shining up above the sky, birds chirping, cars and buses moving around, people walking to their various places of work. Not really everyone I will say, Anne was still lying in bed daydreaming about her crush when her alarm blew off

"Rinnnnnnggg!!, Rinnnnnnggg" it went and with lighting of speed Anne jumped off the bed.

"Holy shit, mooom why didn't you wake me up, oh goodness me I'm already late for work" she screamed as she quickly ran into the bathroom to do her thing.

Anne McCole, a 28 years old beautiful young lady who lives with her single mom tries to make ends meet, she makes sure she works really hard so as to make her mother proud and make ends meet in her family.

Ever since her father lost his life in a fire accident, Anne has always tried her possible best to always put a smile on her mother's face and this she does together with her best friend Eun woo Bin.

Fifteen minutes later, she was done. She met her mom at the kitchen still making breakfast.

"Good morning mom"

"Good morning dear, seems like you really slept so well that you overslept" her mom teased

"But mom why didn't you wake me up, I would have slept till afternoon you know" Anne replied.

As they were still talking Eun rushed in panting.

Eun woo Bin also a 28 years old beautiful and cute Korean lady that came to New York to find a better life. She stays with her family as well. She has been good friends with Anne for a very long time. They have each other backs and always care for each other. Eun's dream is to become a star someday. A singer. She goes to many singing auditions which doesn't end good.

"Where, did you keep your phone, I was calling you but you weren't answering really we are already late. Hi Mrs McCole" she said

"Hi Eun, and why didn't you arrive earlier. You also overslept. I did warn you girls not to keep late night yesterday but you wouldn't listen and now you girls woke up late, just hurry up before you girls arrive late. Your punishment is no breakfast" Mrs McCole said

"Mom" Anne called

"Byeee" Mrs McCole said as she pushed the both girls out.

They began making their way to the building where they'll clean.

"I actually didn't believe I was gonna wake up now you know, I thought I was going to wake up Maybe in the afternoon" Eun said

"Me too but yesterday was fireee, I totally loved it. We going again tonight?" Anne asked

"Yeah although it was fire, I can't go tonight, before we will suddenly wake up by evening tomorrow" Eun sarcastically said as they both laughed.

Later in the day, they were done working for the day, Eun left earlier cause she had a singing practice to attend to. So Anne walked home alone. As she walked she came across a store and she saw a beautiful dress in there.

"O my Gaaaaaaad, this dress is really beautiful. I'll just go in and admire it and maybe if it's not too expensive I might buy it" she said and walked into the store happily. She stood before the cloth and really admired it so well it was indeed really beautiful.

"Oh it will surely look good on me, ahh I can already imagine how I'll look in it. Price tag, price tag there it is, how much" she said as she looked at it got stunned by the price.

"Holy molly $60,000 for just a dress what is it Gold" she asked sarcastically

"This is my three years salary, so that means that all these rich billionaires wear my three years salary on their body. Woah, Anne this is a determination, make money and become rich then you'll wear clothes like this yes" she said with comfort. As she turned around to leave she mistakenly hit a jewelry box down and it came down crashing and this alerted Soo much noise.

"I... I... I didn't mean to touch it, i swear I didn't even know it was there, I'm really sorry ma'am please"

"( Chuckles) really you're apologizing what do you expect me to do with your apology. Will you're apology fix the jewelry or will it but another one. Ma'am all I just need from you is the money and I'll let you go" the store attendant said.

"Money right (it won't be expensive like the gown right) she said in audibly. Ho...how much does it cost" she asked shivering.

"$150,000" the store attendant said

"Whaaaaaat" Anne screamed

"$150,000 ju... just for a jewelry common" she said

"Ma'am if you can't pay it I'll have no other choice but to call the cops on you" the attendant said

"She knows she can't afford anything here, yet she had to enter" a customer said

"Are you quite sure she came in here to buy anything or she came to steal here" another customer said.

"Yes I think you're right maybe she came here to steal, all these children looking so innocent but are actually so deadly" an elderly woman said.

Many thoughts were ravaging through Anne's mind, what would she do. Even if she works till the end of the year, she'll never be able to get that amount. She was stuck and now people are already talking I'll about her.

"Ma'am the cops are already on their way here, security" the store attendant said and called on the security.

"Yes you called" the security guard replied

"Yes I did, I want you too look after this lady and makes sure she doesn't escape before the cops arrives okay"

"yes ma'am" the security replied and guarded Anne from escaping.

Anne tried her possible best to plead with the attendant but she payed deaf ears to her. Anne even had to plead with her to allow her work here for a whole year without payment so she could make up for it but the lady wasn't gonna listen to her.
