Chapter 2 2

She slumped into the swivel chair feeling weak. God! What was she saying again? She was annoyed at her tendency to never back down, no matter what. So, she would say anything just to defend herself.

She remembered their old rivalry. They were classmates in the diamond section. She was the campus queen, the most talked-about, the usual snobbish and bullying cheerleader. That was Amanda. She, on the other hand, was the campus nerd, the outcast. Of course, minus the outdated clothes and thick glasses. She was a fashionable nerd. Beautiful, intelligent. That's why Amanda's group felt insecure about her back then.

Their rivalry escalated even further when the campus heartthrob varsity player, who was supposed to be the destiny of the cheerleader, fell for her. Amanda went to great lengths to entice and pursue him, but in the end, he chose her.

You know what she did? She rejected the guy in public. She said he was not good enough for her, that he didn't meet her standards.

Yes. Her sky-high standards.

Amanda's ego was shattered. She cried her heart out when news broke that she had rejected the advances of the man she had longed for. She was humiliated beyond measure.

She let out a sigh. It seemed that this time, after five long years, if she didn't do something about it, Amanda would finally get her revenge.

She scanned the office surroundings, looking at the plaques on the walls. She also turned her gaze to the small table mirror on her desk and examined herself.

Why the hell didn't she have a freakin boyfriend?

Not even a suitor!

What was wrong with her?

Her name is Sabrina Vee Suarez, a licensed real estate broker. Five years after graduating with the highest honors, she became one of the country's most successful, influential lady entrepreneurs.

She was the co-founder of SmartView. It was a company that provided tools and programs for intelligent real estate choices for millionaire homebuyers around the world. The company's mission was to ensure clients got the best deal for their real estate purchases in the easiest and fastest way possible.

She had made it to the international headlines as the best in her line of business.

She wasn't your typical lady boss in a black dress with hair in a bun. She wore glasses, yes, but she had a stunning figure complemented by flowing brown curls and a face that almost resembled Catherine Zeta Jones. She looked like her from many angles.

But coming back to the dreaded question. Why the heck didn't she have a boyfriend??
