Chapter 1: Episode 1

Pervert

Scarlett

After I was done with checking the mirror to see how I looked like in my black tank top, my crazy jeans that was neatly cut on both sides of the knees and two cuts on both of the laps and I was satisfied with what I saw. I went to my closet and brought out my black shoulder bag and picked out my black boot to wear. As I slipped my left foot into the left leg of the shoe I got a call from my best friend Naomi.

"You better not be in that room by this time girl!

Naomi had knack for shouting first whenever she was on the phone or when she was about to say a life or death situation and to her this was one of those situations.

"Yes I am and stop shouting, I've told you times without number that I don't like that" but I could feel her breathe rising from over the phone.

"Why are you still there you were supposed to be here 10 minutes ago! Naomi cried, something she was good at faking. I was supposed to pick her up from the airport this morning before heading for work. She had just come back from an official trip which was initially scheduled to hold in 3 months time but she was getting married around that time and didn't want anything to get in the way of her plans because Naomi is the one person I know that can take a year to plan her weeding and it won't still be enough, so messing with her 3 months was like messing with fire.

"look before you say more let's just be clear, remember that I don't have a car and getting a cab sometimes in New York City can be a struggle and I still need to get to work, it's a busy day wifey" and when I was done I could hear her release her breathe and that was just what I wanted. "look I'll be there in let's say 20, 30 minutes, just sit tight and wait for me okay" I said and after a few seconds she responded "alright hubby, be fast okay" she said and ended the call. I had to be there as fast as possible because no one was filling in for me. Naomi's parents were out of town, her two older brothers were so busy running the family company and only I Scarlet Pierce was available and whenever Naomi McCall called you better answer for survival reasons.

I quickly put on the other leg of the boot and looked my room door after I came out and rushed down stairs so I would be able to catch a cab around. Luckily for me as I approached the pedestrian side walk I saw a cab and I waved my hands as a signal for the cab to stop as it approached my direction. Immediately the car stopped, just a few seconds before I could open the door of the car of even speak to the driver I saw a tall figure about 5'7 of height, dark brown hair and to add a messy looking appearance trying to enter the car I stopped.

How rude!

So I decided to be the mature one and tell him to get down, how hard could it be. "Excuse me please this is my ride" I said as politely as I could but I did not get a polite response.

"so, go get another one, there are many around"

Huh, I couldn't believe my ears. Not only was he crazy but he was about to get me killed as I was getting late to pick Naomi.

I tapped him a few more times after we had argued with the driver and told him to move or not move and the driver was in a state of confusion. When I realized that he wasn't ready to move, I cracked my fingers and my neck, ready for the next course of action. Without hesitation I entered the car, opened the door he sat beside then pushed him out of the ground and he fell directly into the pool of water there. Not like I was sorry so I asked the driver to go, but just before that, the other strange guy got up and tried to through me out using his hands to push my butt, or maybe he wasn't trying to push me out but either way, one thing was established,

He is a pervert! God!

I glared at him for seconds as his hand was still on my ass. I pushed them away and in turn him back into the pool of water, then I told the drive to go and he did this time. As we got moving I looked through the glass at the back of the car to see how Mr. Pervert was doing, not like I cared but I wanted to ensure he was still drowning in the pool and more and then as if the person heard my prayer a car passed next to him in speed, splashing more water on that face of his. Thank God Naomi is not around because he wouldn't find it easy to breathe after she was done with him. Not that I didn't have an edge but Naomi loves putting her talent on display, everyday.

After some minutes, I was able to make it to the airport and when I sited Naomi, my heart began to race fast because she was looking lonely and angry. I first took some deep breathes and I did it slowly just in case that was my last, at least I know it was peaceful. When I was done, I shouted her name to get her attention and she turned to my direction immediately like she had been seeing me and knew where I was. I guess after being friends since we were 5, it paid off.

"Hubby"

"Wifey", we both said as we locked ourselves in tight hugs in each other arms, almost chocking each other but at that point in time, none of it really mattered, we were just happy to see each other.

"okay now, I think it's time we let go" I said as I came back to reality that people die from choking. "I've missed you hubby"

"so have I wifey but if you kill me now it will just make this a bad reunion and then you will miss me more, so" I said then she hit me on my back

"ouch" I said playfully knowing the reason why, "that's for making me wait"

"am sorry, it will never happen again. But in turn I have a gist for you. Believe me today has been crazy and I met a pervert on the way to pick you up, but I'll tell you all about it when we get home. Promise" I said. She looked at me suspiciously like I was lying and I gave her the look of "why the fuck will I be lying". Then we laughed and hugged again and I helped her with her luggage.

Andrew

"Andrew, get your ass up!" My sister shouted as I picked up the phone. I looked at the alarm clock on my night stand and got shocked when I saw the time.

"Stephanie Price. What kind of joy does it give you to disturb my sleep, it's 9:30 in the morning!"

"my dear sweet brother, what kind of joy does it give you to have your ass kicked by your dad at 24!"

Now my dad, Nathan Price, was one scary guy and that is the last thing I wanted, especially at this age, I was so past that.

"Why would dad do that?"

"Maybe because he told you to be at the office by 8 so he can make you CEO"

Shit! My dad is definitely going to kill me, how could I forget.

"um, I don't hear someone moving or rushing. Please you have to be there, you can't lose this chance again, your come back can't be like this" she said and ended the call. And just as I was about to put my phone down, I got another call from another dangerous person, my little sister.

"why the hell are you still on your bed, get the hell up. Cause dad won't only beat you but kill you" she said as I picked the call.

"Emily, how are you, how was your night, oh, did you sleep well, does your body hurt, how have you been this past years, oh great to hear from you" I said then she sighed. "Am sorry but you know how things get and..." she was saying but I cut her shut.

"Em, am okay, I get it and I know. And I can also take care of myself, so please stop worrying about me. I can handle it myself, just concentrate on your studies. Call you later, bye" I said and ended the call.

In this life there is no one that loves me like my big sister and my little sister. They were always looking out for me just like my aunt who was like a mother to me but she died years back, not something I want to remember.

I quickly got up from my bed, had a quick shower and then went to my closet and picked out my white long sleeve shirt, a black trouser, with a nice red tie that my dad got me and my black blazer. And while dressing I noticed that it was already 10 am so I put my suit and tie in my hand, left my shirt flying and I ran out looking as messed up as possible but I was going to dress up properly when I get to the company, besides no one there knows me.

As I got out of the apartment I then remembered that I lost my car too, so I ran to the walk way to get a taxi and in this city of New York getting one can be a struggle. As I approached the walk way I saw a cab stop in front of a lady and I assumed she was the one who called it. But I didn't care so I sprinted towards the car and got in before she knew it and if she was going to complain I had already had some of my rude charm for her.

As expected, she told me to come down put I refused and before I could comprehend what was happening, I found myself in a pool of water. I stood up and she pushed me for the second time back into that same mud, calling me a pervert.

Pervert. Does she know who I am.

Am the soon to be CEO of Price Enterprises, who the hell was she to do such to me. And I watched as the car drove off, with her peeping from the back of the windscreen to see me as I continued to drown in my predicament and just when I thought it was all over, it happened again, another car drove past me and splashed more water on me, as if I hadn't had enough. In this manner and given the fact that I was already late, there was no way I was going to make it to the company, so I called my Sister, told her what happened so she helped me tell dad to cancel because that is the last trouble I wanted.

Damn that bitch! The next time I see her, she is so going to pay.
