Stuck with the Billionaire

Miriam rolled on the bed as she struggled not to wake up. Her alarm rang and she stretched her hand to reach it but couldn't. She loudly screamed as she angrily stood up, picked up the alarm, and forcefully turned it off. She sat back on the bed brushing her hair with her hand as she looked out of the window, she slowly let out a sigh as she lay on her back shutting her eyes.

''Are you not coming down for breakfast?''

A voice called from the stairs outside her room, it was her sister Sophia,

''I'm coming sis''

She responded and gently stood up and walked to the bathroom to brush her teeth. After brushing, she went to the dining table to have breakfast with her family. Everyone was already seated, and she joined them.

''Are you still going for the job interview?''

Edward asked Miriam and she nodded her head in agreement, and everyone continued eating in silence. When they were done, Miriam took the dishes to the kitchen and came back to go to her room when Edward called out to her and told her to come sit beside him.

''I'm very sorry you have to work, it's just that since we lost our parents, it has been difficult for me to feed everyone. I wish.......''

Miriam held his hand and squeezed it gently. He stared at her in the eyes and pulled her close, giving her a tight hug as tears ran down his eyes. Miriam gently stroked his back and said,

'' I know things are very difficult for us now, but I will do my best to help out''

Edward broke the hug and cleaned his eyes then said to her,

''Thank you so much, I promise that once I get a good job, you will stop working''

Miriam nodded her head and said to him,

''Alright, I am going to my room now so I can prepare, see you later''

Edward smiled faintly and said,

''Do have a nice day''

Miriam went back to her room and burst into tears, she picked up a picture from her room table. It was a picture of her complete family. She put it on her chest and said with a somber voice,

''Mom, Dad, I miss you''

Then she lay on the bed and closed her eyes.

Sophia quietly opened Miriam's door and saw her sleeping, she smiled and came closer, and sat at the edge of the bed. She took the picture gently from Miriam and kept it on the table, then she gently stroked her hair. This woke Miriam up and she sat up,

''Hey Sophia, anything the matter, I didn't know when you came in''

''No dear, just wanted to remind you that your interview will...........''

''Shit!!!!!!''

Miriam screamed as she rushed to grab her tower, then she said with a shaky voice,

''Honestly, I forgot''

Sophia stood up, went to her where she was trying to get her soap, took her hand, and said,

''Listen, honey, you don't have to go if you can't handle it''

''No, I can, I promise''

She rushed into the bathroom to have her bath while Sophia went to get some dress for her. when she came out, she dressed up and looked herself up in the mirror then turned to Sophia,

''How do I look?''

'' Perfect sweetheart''

Then she came closer and put a necklace around her neck, then they looked in the mirror,

''Baby, are you sure you can handle this?''

Miriam turned around and held Sophia by the shoulder,

''Sophia listen up, I know you guys don't want me to work but I'm 22, I can help out, I will make sure I get this job, I will''

Sophia hugged her tight as tears ran down her cheeks. Then she faced her and kissed her forehead,

''Promise me you will be careful baby''

''I promise''

''Alright, bye, be careful baby''

Miriam took her documents from her reading table and left the house. She stood by the roadside waiting for a cab when a car drove past her and splashed dirty water on her. Miriam screamed as she looked at her body, the car drove back, and the back door window glass rolled down then a handsome guy looked at it and said,

''Why don't you get out of the road''

Miriam gasped and looked herself over then looked at the man with a red face, she pointed at the man and swore at him,

''If not that I'm running late to an interview, I would have broken your legs''

She ran off cursing out loud. The guy kept looking at her with shock on his face as she walked away, his driver looked in the rear mirror and said to him,

'' Boss, should we take care of her?''

''No, let her go''

Miriam hurried into the company with her dirty clothes, people looked at her and she hid her face with a magazine. She thought of all the styles she could use to end the rude guy's life. She was lost in thought when she heard her name,

''Miss Miriam Dior?''

She quickly stood up and the lady looked her up and slowly said,

''You can come in''

She adjusted her dress and went into the room. She closed the door behind her and turned around to greet only for her to see the guy from earlier sitting there with two other women and a guy. Her mouth dropped, and she bent her head. The guy smiled and called her forward,

''What's your name miss?''

''I am Miriam Dior, sir''

''Why are you putting on a dirty cloth to an interview?''

Miriam looked at him with a murderous face, she could feel hot blood running through her veins, she felt like jumping on him and stabbing him to death. She bit her lower lips but before she could talk, he turned to the lady sitting beside him and said,

''Dismiss the other candidates, she's hired, and she will be my secretary''

Everyone in the room stared at each other in shock but no one dared to say a word. Miriam was also confused. He stood up and walked towards her then whispered in her ears,

''I will teach you never to point a finger at strangers''

Then he walked out. Miriam turned to watch him leave, you couldn't believe the kind of nerves this man had, she turned and called the attention of the lady that took her files from her and asked,

''Excuse me ma, please who is he?''

''He is Mr. Anthony Parks, the owner of this powerful company''

Miriam's jaw dropped, she couldn't believe what she just heard,

''Excuse me ma, you mean Mr. Anthony Parks, the son of Mr. Parks, the owner of this company?''

The lady sighed and said,

''You heard me right Miss, consider it your lucky day, I don't know why he gave you the job but all I can tell you is to be serious with your job. Come early tomorrow so you will be told what to do''

The lady left and Miriam stood like a status. The other interviewers left too. Miriam walked out of the office slowly, she didn't know if she should be happy or sad, she knew she was in great trouble but couldn't lose the job either. She came out, boarded a cab, and went home.
