Cirilla Xanders is a fresh IT graduate. Her dream is to become a CEO of her own software company. All the girls in her school envied her because she was the girl of every boy's dream. She is beautiful, tall, cheerful and an intelligent girl. But she came from a poor family, and her mother is sick. She can't remember her father, because her father left when she was just a little, and her mother never talks about him. Ciri used to be a scholar in Xavier's University, the most prestigious school in the country. Because she's intelligent she was able to graduate with flying colors. Despite of being poor Ciri still have a good life. Since middle school up to the University, life seems easy for her. Due to her beauty, kindness and intelligence she was always favored by everyone. But life swiftly changes now that she graduated. She applied for job and went for an interview in Gate's Inc., the top software company in the county. It was Ciri's dream to land a job in Gate's Inc. She imagined herself creating applications that will be downloaded of all the people in the country and makes lots of money. She will be driving her porsche, attending fashion week with her mom and travelling around the world. Then suddenly, her imagination stopped when the secretary calls her, "Ms. Xanders, you can now enter the room". As she approaches the room, her heart beats fast, she was very nervous, she wants this job so badly. And this job will lead her to her dreams. She try to calm herself and said "I got this". She confidently enters the room with her prettiest smile but her smile turned to frown when she saw the interviewer. The man sitting in the chair is Benjamin Charlz Gates, the son of the owner of Gates Inc. Ciri and Benj used to study in the same school. Way back in Xaviers university, Ciri was very popular because she was an epitome of both beauty and brains. She had many suitors and but the man who captured her heart and she deeply love was Benj Gates. When Benj saw Ciri entered the room he gave him a sly smile and said, "Have a sit Ms. Xanders". While Benj is looking at Ciri, he was still amazed by her beauty. He haven't seen her for two years since he decided to study abroad. Ciri have become more beautiful over the years. Her sparkling and innocent eyes, pointed nose, gentle lips, slim and slender body, soft skin and big breasts. He always dream of her everynight. "Thank you sir", Ciri sighed timidly. "Why should we hire you Ms. Xanders?", Benj asked. Ciri was still in shocked, he still can't believe that the man infront of him was Benj Gates. Her ex-suitor, the man who patiently courted her since middle school. The man he dumped two years ago and the man she hurt so much. But he was also the man she deeply loved and the man she wished to spend the rest of her life with. Ciri feels uneasy, she can't even look him in the eyes. And that moment she knew that she fucked up.
"Why should we hire you Ms Xanders?", Benj asked. Normally that was just a very simple and easy question for Ciri. But its different this time, her heart beats faster than usual, she can't think straight and the words won't come out on her mouth. After a few minutes of silence, Ciri can't still utter some words. Benj becomes impatient and uttered in an irritated voice, "Do you take us lightly Ms
Xanders? This is Gates Inc and you come here for an interview unprepared, are you dumb?". Hearing those words have awaken Ciri, Benj was a gentle and kind man, the person infront of him is different from the Benj he once knew. His eyes are full of hatred towards her. "uhmmm, Sir, I believed you should hire me in your company because...Ciri was not able to finish her words as loud footsteps are approaching towards the CEO's office. Tik tak tik tak tik tak," Whose dumb, honey? ", the woman asked. "Why are you here?, I told you already not to come here when I'm working", Benj replied. "I was just dropping by to remind you about our dinner at exactly 6pm and please don't be late honey", the woman answered. With disgust in his face Benj sighed "Yes, I won't forget and I won't be late". Ciri's nervousness was doubled when she heared the woman's voice. That high toned and arrogant voice, she could never forget. That voice belongs to Priscilla Bellatrix Gates, Benj's mother. Priscilla is a sophisticated, proud and selfish woman. She came from a wealthy family and when she married Charles Gates she became more popular because of her wealth, her husband and because of the Gates Inc. contributions to the society, she became one of the most influential woman in tbe country. Priscilla is a sophisticated, proud and selfish woman. Coming from a wealthy family and having a wealthy husband, she became more rude and wicked. She dislike people of lower class. For her, they are just parasites attaching themselves to upper class people in order to survive. She will do anything and everything to protect their wealth, high status in the society and especially her one and only son. Upon hearing her voice, Ciri lowered her face. Benj looked at Priscilla and said "Is there anything else? You can go now, I still have an interview to finish". "Alright, I'll go then", Priscilla replied as she take a gaze at the applicant. She nevers take a look at any random woman especially lower class woman like this applicant not even a gaze, but she just can't ignore this woman. She looked at her for a moment, but she can't see her face because the woman is looking down. She noticed that the applicant has a white and porcelain skin. A skin as good as of an upper class woman or maybe even better. It was so familiar, that it reminds her of someone. But who care's she said to herself, she was just an applicant, a lower class, a parasite. Priscilla was outside Benj office as she was about to close the door, she heared Benj voice as he said "I will ask you again Ms. Xanders, Why should we hire you". Priscilla was stuck for a moment upong hearing those words, she pushed back the door and hurriedly went back inside the office and said "Do I heared it right, Xanders? That Xanders? The Cirilla Xanders?.
Cirilla was in a little bit relief as Priscilla walk out the door. But suddenly she hears a loud B A N G!. It was the sound of a slammed door. "Did I heared it right? Xanders? That Xanders? The Cirilla Xanders?. At that very moment Ciri feels like she was sitting on fire. The room was cold but she can feel the her whole body is sweating. She doesn't know what to do. All she can do is hold her hands together on his lap. She don't know what will happen next she just wish that she could dissappear right then and there. Ciri knew Priscilla very well, she was so afraid that she could not even looked up, she remains looking down. Benj saw that Ciri's knees are shaking, he knew that she was afraid. "Yes, she is Cirilla Xanders, so what are you fussing about?" Benj said. In a loud and arrogant voice Priscilla uttered, "How shameless you are", "you have the guts to apply for a job in our company, after what you did to my son!". Priscilla was so angry, she hates lower class people and she hates Ciri the most. How could she forget the lowly class girl who hurt her son. "Shameless woman! Parasite!", Priscilla shouted. She was so angry that cursing Ciri is not enough for her. She picked up her expensive high heels and thrown it to Ciri. The high heels hit Ciri's head. It was heavy, hard, and pointed. It feels like Ciri was hit by a hammer on his head. It was painful, sure it was, she can feel it. But why is it more painful inside her heart?.Despite the pain Ciri did not budge. She remained seated with her head still lowered down. Benj was shocked, she didn't expect that Priscilla was as angry as he was at Ciri. It's been two years already but the pain was still there. Yes he hated Ciri and she deserves that. But that hit was so hard and he knows it fucking hurts. Ciri didn't move, as he looked at Ciri's head he saw blood in it. That's when he said "Mom, enough". Priscilla was so angry, she was like a lioness that is willing to kill anyone who will try to hurt her cub. She wanted to hit Ciri over and over again. Priscilla comes to her senses when he heared Benj call her Mom. Benj rarely calls her mom, and when he does its the only thing that calms her. Priscilla try to calm herself for a few seconds and started to talk again, "What do you want from my son"? , "Does your sugar daddies got bored and left you?, and now you want to hook up with my son again?", "a slut like you will never get contented, going from one man to another just to survive, Shameless!". Those words are painful to hear. But she can't blame her, it was because of her doings, it was all her fault back then. "Answer me, you slut!", Priscilla yelled and the room became silent for a moment. Then theres a knock in the door. It was Benj's secretary, her name is Vicky, "Sir, Vice President Brown wants to postpone the meeting. He said something very important came up and he's not free tomorrow. He said, he wants to have a meeting right now along with his team."Not right now, we'll have it later", Benj refused. Too late, Vice President Brown enters the room and the rest of his team followed him. There were nine people in the room, "Did you run out of dirty, old man to finance you? And now you want to get near to my son?", Priscilla yelled again. She doesn't mind whether there are many people in the room. The people who just entered the room was shocked, they did not expect to witness that scene in the CEO's office. Priscilla started talking again and said," Like mother, like daughter. A slut, parasite and a homewrecker". Ciri choose not to utter any words because she doesn't want to make Priscilla angrier. She can accept all the insults thrown at her, but she can't just ignore it if it is against her mother. Her beautiful, delicate and sweet mother. Her poor mother who worked so hard for her. She can feel that her tears are about to fall in her eyes, so she confidently stand up, said in a soft voice, "Sorry for wasting your time Mr. Gates. It was my mistake to apply for a job here in your company. I am not qualified to become your employee because I'm a slut and a parasite, Thank you and have a good day". After saying those words, she walked out of the CEO's office. She can't hold back anymore, as she hurriedly ran out of the company's premises her tears keep flowing out of her eyes. She only stop crying when she's already outside Gates Inc. Earlier, she was very happy, she is confident that she will be hired because of her skills and her good grades. She thought that this will be happiest day of her life. The supposedly happiest day turns out to be the worst day due to an unexpected encounter with two people from her past.
