Chapter 2 A sunny day

Jerry stood before a big building. Top of the building was boldly written 'QUEEN'S WAREHOUSE'

He smiled and walked inside. On getting in, he was given a shirt to put on. It was the working shirt.

"Take the goods from the truck and take it into the warehouse. Get to work everyone" The man clapped his hands.

Few persons were inside the truck, throwing the bags to the ones that were outside. While the ones outside, would take it into the warehouse.

Although the bag was heavy, Jerry couldn't complain, he needed the money.

"Walk fast!" The man scolded him.

Quickly, Jerry tightened his grip on the bag and walked faster.

He was beginning to sweat and get tired, he hadn't even eaten that morning before going to work, but he had no choice.

The car door was opened for Elena, and she stepped out of the car.

She was dressed in a tight short gown and a nice pair of heels, her silver necklace was sparkling . The diamond ring on her right index finger wasn't left out.

She tucked her hair behind her ear and stared around.

"Ma'am Elena, this is the warehouse." She was informed by one of her bodyguards.

Although her father owned the company, she had never visited it. She was a loner. Ever since her mum passed away, she preferred to stay in her room all day. Her daily routine was to go to school, and come back home.

But today, she just felt like visiting the warehouse and seeing how it runs. Sooner or later, she was gonna do that, as the next CEO - she was the only child, the heir!

She didn't know why her father didn't want to get remarried, it had been four years.

"Do you want me to show you around?" Dora, her assistant asked.

Dora was two years older than Elena, she had been assigned to take care of Elena, to be the sister Elena never had.

"If I didn't come for that, then why am I here?" Elena replied, coldly. One could tell that she wasn't happy at all.

Dora smiled. She had been with Elena for long, and she also understood everything she was going through.

She gave Elena a sunglass and they both walked inside. It was a sunny day.

Walking inside, Elena saw a big truck, then some people taking things from it and keeping it inside the warehouse.

"What are these people doing?" She asked Dora.

"The goods in the truck are the newly bought ones, it should be taken into the warehouse. They're transferring the goods into the warehouse. You've studied business right from when you were a kid, I can't believe you don't know these things" Dora said, gaining a glare from Elena.

"I studied business, I didn't study a warehouse" After Elena spoke those words, there was silence between them, only the voices of the workers could be heard.

Elena felt hot, the weather was so hot that she felt as if it was fire burning her skin.

"Are you okay?" Dora asked, after noticing how uneasy Elena looked.

"Let's get out of here" She turned around and started walking to her car.

But she stopped when she heard something.

"Hey, you won't get your payment if you keep resting." Elena turned around and stared at the person. It was a man talking to a boy. As Elena eyes caught with the face of the boy, she blinked repeatedly.

What a cute boy! 'Hmmmm. He's so cute! But why is he.... Oh, he's one of the workers. Wait, if he's doing this kind of job, it simply means that he isn't rich. How can someone be so cute and not be rich' Elena thought that only cpeople are rich.

Staring keenly at the boy, she didn't realize Dora had been calling her since.

"Elena!!" Dora yelled, this time around it attracted people to look at them - including the workers.

Embarrassed that she was caught staring at a boy, by Dora, she quickly averted her gaze to something else.

They man that was shouting at the boy earlier, walked to meet Elena.

"Ma'am, you are here. It's actually a surprise, I thought you made an oath not to step your feet here" He joked, thinking it would make her laugh, but it didn't.

"Westley, don't you think you are bullying this workers?" Elena suddenly asked.

"Ma'am?"

"Look, the day is sunny and you can't even allow these workers to rest. What are they? A log of wood that wouldn't feel pain on their skin?" Elena's voice sounded with little anger.

"I am under the sun also, it's not the way you are....."

"You chose to be under the sun, because you want to be ordering them around. I get that you are just doing your job, but please if you don't want to get fired then do your work well and treat others like human that they are" She cuts him off, rudely.

"I am sorry, ma'am" Even though he knew he wasn't wrong, he still had to apologize.

"Give them an hour break, now!" She ordered.

Westley quickly did as she said, he knew that if Elena tells her dad to fire him, then he would do that without even questioning her.

"Let's get going" Dora reminded.

Elena wanted to reply, but her eyes met with the cute boy, he was so sweating, and with the way he was waking she knew he wasn't fine..... He was tired!

Jerry was going inside the warehouse to gave a break, when someone walked to meet him.

Looking at her, he could tell she was rich and classy.

"Hey, are you okay?" Elena asked, trying not to sound too concerned. After all he was a stranger she just met.

"Good day ma'am. I am fine, thanks for caring" Jerry gave her a genuine smile.

"I wasn't caring. If something is to happen to you here, then my father would be blamed. So it's better to send you home if you aren't okay" Elena was a girl who didn't like showing how she feels, she didn't want to look weak.

"You still cared. Thanks" He smiled again and walked inside.

His smile was contagious, Elena also smiled.

Such a cute boy!
