MR CEO, DO YOU REGRET?
Chapter 1: Retinol
One of the most useful yet useless invention is an alarm clock. When you don't want to wake up, it starts yelling like it's witnessing a murder. When you do need it to wake you up, it never works.
Natasha Sanders/FL/Liliana Heart
Stupid Nat! Stupid Nat!!Stupid Nat!!! *Walking as fast as possible*
Natasha Sanders/FL/Liliana Heart
(set six alarm clocks, I said; one isn't enough, I said. No, I had to set only two. If I get into trouble today, I'm going to kill myself.)
Natasha Sanders/FL/Liliana Heart
I wasn't even able to eat breakfast. *Still running to work.*
Natasha finally slowed down when she saw her destination, the "Grabby Goodies" Supermarket.
She has been working here for two years now ever since...
As she got in, she heard an argument and saw two women fighting. One elderly and one teenager. Who Natasha recognized as Aunt Maya and Avery
Aunt maya
Oh, for goodness’s sake, there you go again; I'm just coming from there!
Avery stone
Then go there again, maybe you missed her.
Aunt maya
Missed her!!, I am...*Interrupted*
Avery stone
Shush, *Shakes her head* you know, I read somewhere that once someone is over 30, they start having eye problems. How old are you again? 75? 76? 80?
Aunt maya
You cheeky little... I am just 65!!
Avery stone
Well, *glances from head to feet.* Have you ever tried retinol? It works wonders. *Said with a polite smile.*
Aunt maya
*Closes her eyes to breathe and reminds herself she's the adult in the conversation.*
Aunt Maya had her back to Natasha, so only Avery could see her. As Aunt Maya Closed her eyes to remind herself to stay calm, Avery signaled to Natasha to hide.
Logan, a colleague who was behind the counter waved Natasha over to come and hide behind the counter.
Just in time to, Aunt Maya had finished her calming exercises and turned around to face Logan.
Aunt maya
Logan, dear, please tell me, Where is Natasha? She promised me no more late coming this week, and yet it's already nine and I still can't see her!
Logan
What are you taking about? Natasha came in a long time ago, last time I saw her she went to the toilet.
Aunt maya
But Avery just told me she was in aisle seven.
Avery stone
Yeah, after she came back from the toilet!
Aunt Maya went down the aisle to check again. Natasha popped her head out and breathed a sigh of relief.
Avery stone
Girl! where the hell were you?!! You're late again!!
Logan
Lower your voice would you!!
Aunt Maya comes back as she forgot to take her notebook.
Aunt maya
Sorry I forgot my note...
Author

Author

XOXO
Chapter 2: Shifting blame
Aunt Maya comes back as she forgot to take her notebook.
Aunt maya
Sorry I forgot my note...
Natasha, immediately turns around, facing the shelves of cheap perfume stacked behind the counter observing each one.
Aunt maya
*Shocked to see Natasha standing there.* Natasha when... where...
Natasha Sanders/FL/Liliana Heart
Can't talk now aunt Maya. Didn't I tell you to stop putting the violet night perfume beside the purple storm?
Natasha Sanders/FL/Liliana Heart
How many times do I have to tell you Purple Storm's bottle is way too Bland it's affecting the sale of Violet Night
Natasha Sanders/FL/Liliana Heart
*Starts walking confidently*But you never listen to me so you?! Later you wonder why Violet night is not selling.
Natasha Sanders/FL/Liliana Heart
Avery, come with me to the 7th aisle, you know, where I just was after I left the toilet.
Avery stone
See! *Sticks her tongue out at Aunt Maya and runs after Natasha.*
Aunt maya
*Standing confused and thinking she isn't well. *
Logan
*Holding his laughter back seeing Aunt Maya's confused face. *
Natasha Sanders/FL/Liliana Heart
Damn! That was a close one.
Avery stone
Please, it's Aunt Maya, now with you! *Rolls her eyes* Let me guess, you overslept?
Natasha Sanders/FL/Liliana Heart
Well, in my defense, my alarm clock didn't do its job properly.
Avery stone
Right, blame the innocent clock why don't you.
Avery stone
At least, you were already in uniform.
Natasha Sanders/FL/Liliana Heart
Yeah, I was already late so I just put it on at home
Natasha Sanders/FL/Liliana Heart
Avery giggled, and they both started the day's work. While Aunty Maya spent the rest of the day wondering if she was getting that old.
In another part of the city.
A different alarm clock was also ringing. However, its owner was already out of bed ages ago.
Adien Miller/ML
(Why do I even bother to set it up?)
A handsome young man switched it off and used his hands to scatter his hair.
Having nothing better to do he decided to go to the balcony and enjoy the view. (Best part about living in one of the tallest buildings in the city.) He took in a deep breath and prepare his mind for the day ahead.
After a good 5 mins, he headed to his bathroom and damn, it was luxurious.
With a black and gold color scheme, a huge bathroom mirror, State-of-the-art shower, swimming pool like bathtub.
Yet, he wasn't fazed. These were completely normal scenes for him.
After thirty minutes, he found himself in a suit, ready for work.
Author
Yo, I don't know but I've always wanted a black and gold bathroom, it is a vibe.
Chapter 3:You're Aiden Miller
Nanny Nicole
Andrew? Are you up already? Why didn't you sleep in?
A middle-aged lady said in a heavy British accent, immediately after Andrew came downstairs.
Nanny Nicole
Couldn't sleep?
Nanny Nicole
Nervous about being in a new city? Do you want to go back?
Adien Miller/ML
Nicole don't...
Nanny Nicole
It's alright, I understand, I'll book the tickets...
Nanny Nicole
Why I... Fine, I'm just nervous, I've never lived in a different city... I don't get why you had to move here.
Adien Miller/ML
(Yes, why? I took over the CEO position of Miller corporation from my dad on my twenty-third birthday; I've been working at the main headquarters ever since, and now there's a problem with a merger in one of our branches, and as the CEO, Why oh Why am I here?)
Adien Miller/ML
(I could have easily just visited and made arrangements then be on my way if only this wasn't one of our lowest performing branches, and I wanted to use this merger as a cover-up to come here and try to improve it.
My only mistake was bringing this chatterbox with me.)
Adien Miller/ML
I told you work reasons.
Adien Miller/ML
Also didn't you once travel the globe learning how to cook?
Nanny Nicole
Yeah, but I never carried all my things and said: Hey, I'm going to move here.
Nanny Nicole
Why didn't you just send that assistant of yours? I mean you're Aiden Miller, the CEO, you should be at the headquarters.
Adien Miller/ML
You're Aiden Miller, you're Aiden Miller, you're Aiden Miller.
The words that any man would die for, to be the Aiden Miller, CEO of Miller corporation, No. 2 on the list of Europe's most eligible Bachelors, only son of Diego and Cassandra Miller. I control an empire and yet, those words hurt me more than anyone can ever imagine. Those were the words she said to me.
Adien Miller/ML
Don't bother with breakfast... I lost my appetite.
With that he left the apartment, completely ignoring all of Nanny Nicole's protests.
