MELTING HIS ICY HEART
CHALLENGE Episode one
Daisy
“What are you doing standing there Daisy?” My boss asked. I turned around, surprised to see him standing by the gate. How come I didn’t notice him?
He’s one of the numerous boss I have and he’s really fierce.
“I’m trying to catch my breath sir” I replied, still breathing hard.
“Tell me, what trouble did you make this time to warrant you running?” He squinted his eyes at me.
“Nothing” I forced a smile while my brain to me down the last twenty minutes memory lane.
I had gone to distribute the newspapers as usual.
I got in front of a house and met an arrogant lady sitting on the front porch.
I greeted and asked for her to buy the newspaper but she had just flipped me off.
I angrily called her a bitch then she retaliated by pulling my hair.
I beat her blue and black and was about giving her a final blow in the stomach when an old man came out, pointing a gun at me.
I ran to my bicycle as he still fumbled with the gun and and took off before he could shoot at me.
“Down to earth Daisy” my boss waved his hands in front of my face.
His voice sounded from a distance so it didn’t shake me out of my reverie.
I’ve working non stop and barely have time for myself. At times, I work overnight which isn’t good for a lady but I have to make ends meet and cater for my parents and siblings who are still in high school.
For a twenty four year old girl, I have the most working experience ever, no boyfriend, no crush, and an extremely lazy and men’s lady best friend.
I love her so much even though she’s really crazy.
“DAISY!!!” I heard my boss voice shout.
“Sorry boss”
“Go inside, you have papers to distribute!” He stomped off towards his car and drove off.
I sighed and made to enter when a group of girls laughed at each other at sometime they read on a leaflet.
“I doubt if anyone would apply” one of them snickered and drop the leaflet.
I went towards it and picked it up.
Written in bold letters were “TEN MILLION DOLLARS TI ANYONE THAT CAN MAKE PRINCE ERIC FALL IN LOVE AGAIN”
Ten million dollars??!!!!!! My brain rang in alarm and excitement.
“You are to visit the palace with your luggages today, only one person will be picked.”.
That’s a lot of money for a simple task.
Ten million dollars?!!! I won’t have to work again with that money.
“Daisy inside now” boss voice said in my brain.
“Daisy get the money” the paper in my hands argued.
“If you go, you’re fired and I won’t accept you back” boss voice said again
“Daisy if you don’t go, we are going to miss out a lot of fun and a chance to win the money” my brain argued
“Think about your future Daisy”
“Think about your future with the money”
“Think about your siblings in high school and your parents”
“Think about then in your dream house, eating whatever they want” my brain argued.
The argument went on for minutes
“Daisy get the money” I agreed with my brain and took off in the opposite direction to my house, pedalling my bicycle hard.
