IT'S HARD TO LOVE ME
INFERIORITY
A young girl is trying her hard to make delicious cookies, even though anyone can easily see her struggles…
She had many burn marks on her palm and her hand is shaking to make the cookies in perfect shape.
That girl is Riley Madison, the middle child of Mr. And Mrs. Madison.
She's only 19 years old and already engaged to Devin Matthew, who is the son of her father's close friend.
Her life was perfect when she was a child, but when she slowly grew up she felt that there's nothing special about her compared to her elder brother and her younger sister…
Her brother was already a genius from a young age with a very mature mind.
On the other hand her younger sister was born as a beauty. Her beauty made her a very popular actress in a very young age.
Not having the smartness and beauty, Riley always felt inferior. She tried every way possible to do something to get recognized by her parents, but her efforts were never appreciated.
Riley Madison(FL)
Gloria... Gloria.
Look I made a perfect cookie, didn't I?
Maid Gloria
Looks at your hands…
You almost burnt your hands. You should take care of yourself child.
Riley Madison(FL)
Leave it.
This is the mark of my victory…😁
Maid Gloria
You and your explanation...
Riley Madison(FL)
Please taste it and tell me if it's edible or not?
I don't want to fail again.
Gloria took a bite of the cookie and nodded in approval.
Maid Gloria
Now it tastes perfect.
Riley Madison(FL)
Really?!!
Thank God. I thought it will also end up in dustbin…
Maid Gloria
How can that be possible? When you put all your heart in making this?
Maid Gloria
But what is the special occasion?
Riley Madison(FL)
Today my sister have a big AD shooting, I want to cheer her up…
Riley Madison(FL)
And also Devin just came back from his oversea's meeting, I want to surprise him with this.
Maid Gloria
Did Master Devin called you when he returned from the meeting yesterday?
Riley Madison(FL)
No, he must be tired.
And I don't want to disturb him.
Maid Gloria
Are you sure that's the reason? Because he is your fiancé, but he didn't bother to share anything with you.
Riley Madison(FL)
Gloria, he is a mature person, I am still clumsy.
What could he possibly share with me?
Maid Gloria
Is that how you comfort yourself?
Riley Madison(FL)
........
Riley Madison(FL)
Ah… Look at the time, I am almost late.
I should go now.
Riley made two beautiful boxes and beautifully packed the cookies in it.
Maid Gloria
You can't run away from this forever…
DISHEARTENED
Mrs.Madison(Mother)
Honey... We are getting late for the shoot…
Esther(Sister)
Coming mom. Just give me 5 minutes.
Riley saw her mother in the hall, waiting for Esther.
Mrs.Madison(Mother)
What?
(Busy in her phone.)
Riley Madison(FL)
Today is Esther's new ad shoot so...
Riley Madison(FL)
I made something for her.
Mrs. Madison looked at the box of cookies.
Mrs.Madison(Mother)
Really? Cookies!!
Do you know how much sugar these cookies contain?
Mrs.Madison(Mother)
It's like poison to your sister.
Do you want to ruin her day?
Riley Madison(FL)
No Mom.
I specially made sugar-free cookies for her.
I want to give this to cheer her up…
Mrs.Madison(Mother)
Don't you have something else to do?
Do you think there's any need for this?
Riley Madison(FL)
.............
Riley Madison(FL)
Sorry Mom.
Mrs.Madison(Mother)
Give it to your brother…
I am already late.
Esther(Sister)
Mom… I am ready…
Mrs.Madison(Mother)
*Gasp*
You look amazing...
Mrs.Madison(Mother)
Let's go… The director is waiting.
Both of them left. Leaving behind disheartened Riley…
Nathan was getting ready for the office.
Riley Madison(FL)
Brother...
Nathan(Brother)
Oh, Riley!.
What do you want?
Riley Madison(FL)
I made cookies.
Can you taste them?
Nathan(Brother)
I don't want to die…
Nathan(Brother)
You better stop doing this..
Why don't you find something else to do?
Riley Madison(FL)
I… I...just want to cheer you up...
Nathan(Brother)
Listen Riley, I really want to appreciate your efforts but, it's getting really annoying.
Riley Madison(FL)
...........
Nathan(Brother)
I am going to work.
Find another scapegoat for this…
Riley lost her confidence after getting rejected twice.
But she cheered up her heart and went to meet her fiancé.
She knew that her fiancé will be understanding towards her and will be happy to see her…
SHATTERED FEELINGS
Riley Madison(FL)
Excuse me?
Receptionist
Oh… Miss. Riley!
Good morning
Riley Madison(FL)
Good morning.
Riley Madison(FL)
Can I meet Devin?
Receptionist
Sure… He just arrived a minute ago.
You can meet him in his cabin.
Riley Madison(FL)
Thank you…
Devin Matthew(Fiancé)
Come in.
Devin Matthew(Fiancé)
Riley?
Devin Matthew(Fiancé)
What brings you here?
Riley Madison(FL)
You just came back from the meeting yesterday, so I wanted to meet you.
Devin Matthew(Fiancé)
Oh...
I forget to tell you that.
Riley Madison(FL)
No problem…
I know you were busy.
Devin Matthew(Fiancé)
Thank you for understanding.
Riley Madison(FL)
Actually, I made something for you. I hope you like that…
Devin Matthew(Fiancé)
Keep that on the table, I will eat it later.
Riley Madison(FL)
Uh?..
Sure…
Riley placed the box on his desk, but Devin didn't even looked at it.
He kept working on his computer.
Devin Matthew(Fiancé)
Do you have something else to say?
Riley Madison(FL)
No… No. My work is done.
I should get going…
Devin Matthew(Fiancé)
Let my secretary drop you home…
Riley Madison(FL)
Don't bother.
I will go on my own.
Devin Matthew(Fiancé)
See you then.
Secretary Jayden
Sir, you don't have to be this cold.
Devin Matthew(Fiancé)
I can't let my rivals know my weakness, it's better to act as if she doesn't matter to me.
Secretary Jayden
Hope that idea doesn't backfires on you.
Devin Matthew(Fiancé)
You think too much…
Devin Matthew(Fiancé)
Take this and distribute among your colleagues…
Secretary Jayden
But Sir...
Devin Matthew(Fiancé)
Just do as I say... No more questions.
Riley Madison(FL)
Oh.... I almost forget to tell about the dinner gathering…
Riley turned around and decided to meet him and tell him about the dinner…
Her eyes fell on Secretary Jayden, who came out of the cabin with the box of cookies and distributed it within his colleagues…
It can be clearly seen that not even a single cookie was eaten by Devin.
That scene broke her heart.The sadness that she tried to control from the morning started to pour out.
With the shattered feelings she left the office.
