Handsome Huit by Princess Treasure Chuks

EMILY POV

The shrilling of the alarm woke me up, still feeling drowsy from not having enough sleep, I switched off the alarm.

The door to my room opened and my mom walked in.

"Get up Emily or you will be late for work." She said as she opened up the window,letting the sun drift into the room.

"Can't I just sleep a bit more, just a few more minutes mom,a few." I begged as I turned to sleep again

"Stop being lazy and get up, didn't you say that you had a presentation today?"She asked and that got me out of bed.

"Oh no! the presentation, I won't make it on time"I said as I dashed off to the bath room to take my bathe.

My colleagues and I have been working on this presentation for days now.

I often come late from work just because of it and now that the day is finally here, i had to wake up late, I thought as I put on my shoes and ran straight down stairs.

"Why are you in a hurry dear?"my dad asked as I hurriedly gulped down the fruit juice mom had made for me.

"She woke up late and today is the day for her presentation at work" my mom answered in my stead.

"Good bye mom, goodbye dad"I said as I waved off to the both of them and then I left the house.

I couldn't afford to wait for the bus so I took a taxi.

Some other day,I might berate myself for going to work late but now,I will just have to get to work early.

He drove through the busy streets of los Angeles.

While he did his thing, I brought out my laptop and began to finish the set up to the presentation.

"We are here miss"He said to me and quickly I payed him and got out of the taxi.

As If being late wasn't enough, I had to bump into some one and that made my laptop fall.

"Oh no! Oh no!"I said as I knelt in front of the broken laptop to pick it up.

I tried to turn it on only to see that it wouldn't turn on and if the laptop develop some problem, then the presentation will just have to be delayed because all the work we did is on it.
