Chapter 2 SCARLETT ARRIVAL

"Do you want to tell me she's dead now?" Tyler demanded.

Right inside of Clara's spirit, she was groaning at him. He wouldn't even let her talk, and he concluded. An unsweet boss indeed!!!

"Sir, well...." Clara started.

"Spit it and leave Clara", Charles finally spoke again. He knew Clara was a bit nervous. Well, everyone was nervous when they were in front of the great Tyler Artemis.

"Okay, I heard there is a girl coming into town and your mum requested that she be hired immediately when she gets here."

"A girl? Not even a lady, really Momma?" Tyler said to himself. He has so many principles when it came to hiring his workers. He always gave most of them a hard time but the tough and good ones always get the job. But at this point, his mum hadn't given him an option, the lady whosoever she was, would just be hired immediately. He loved his mum too much to not listen to her. But who the heck was this lady?

"And did you tell them, we aren't hiring yet?" Tyler asked.

"Yes, sure I did Sir. But your mum said the girl.... uh..... lady has been of help to her so that's probably the way she could help her too. Your mum said that she'll communicate with you when its most suitable for you to reach out"

Tyler sighed and slouched on his executive chair saying nothing. He realized by Clara's last statement that he hadn't checked up on his mum in a while. He had been too busy too and his mum did respect his life so well that she only communicated directly to him when he wants her to.

Charles looked up at Clara and asked "Did she give a specified position she would want the lady to work?"

"No, she did not. I guess she'll communicate it to the boss when they speak"

Tyler sat upright, picked up his phone and made to leave the office.

"Charles, let's go" he said as he went out of the office.

Charles joined him while Clara stayed back to pack in his belongings, especially his laptop.

"Damn" she exclaimed to herself, "Tyler Artemis, god of attitude, but he's cute regardless."

It always felt so funny to see a cute looking guy as that being so stern and emotionless. How does he do that? She kept wondering.

***

Scarlett had just arrived in town, her first time in the big city of angels, as they call it, Los Angeles. She was picked from the airport by her friend, Amelia who had been her best friend for years. She was going to be staying with Amelia for a while , probably until she's got enough pay to get her own place.

When she got to Amelia's place and was settled, she walked to the mirror to look at herself. She was a girl that lived by affirmations and she was about to affirm once more. She was so grateful to Neelam Artemis for giving her the opportunity to be in Los Angeles.

She was the daughter to Neelam's housekeeper back in the days, who of course, was late as of that time. Scarlett was raised in Houston, Texas by her father while her mother was away in the Artemis home trying to make ends meet to send them down to Houston for their upkeep. Her mother never wanted her to see how she was striving, especially as a housekeeper. She wanted Scarlett to grow up with the best life. But right before she died, she felt like she had not fulfilled her dream for her daughter's life, so she called Neelam Artemis requesting that good should be done her daughter after she passed and that was what Neelam Artemis was making sure of, even in her sick bed, because Scarlett's mother was the best housekeeper she ever had.

Scarlett walked up to the mirror. The mirror was a tall one that could show every part of her. She smiled at the girl standing at the other side of the mirror.

She admired her own beauty. One thing her mum taught her for the little time she was with her physically was that she was enough and she was the most beautiful girl in her own world.

Well, Scarlett was quite pretty with her long flowing black hair that got down to her deeds. Her bright and shining blue eyes and a cute kissable lips as the guys in her high school days called it.

She smiled at herself and started affirming , "I am Scarlett King, yes I am a daughter of a king. I am a queen and I rule my own Queendom. The universe is in my hands ad it works the way I want it to. I am pretty and I am productive"

She felt so good about herself and the thought of her new appointment made her feel most excited.

"Oh God.... I'm so excited to get to work. Whatever position I'm going to be, I'll surely be the best at it" she said

At that moment, she thought of her mother and wished she was alive to see that Neelam Artemis didn't forget her good works and has rewarded her for it. She was most grateful to Neelam for the opportunity she had given to her. She felt so blessed about having a job finally, she wasn't sure which part of the Artemis company she would be working but she was most excited to be working there.

Her thoughts and imagination was interrupted by her friend, Amelia. "Mama, you really haven't changed. You're still talking to yourself through the mirrors" she said smiling.

Amelia was Scarlett's best friend, they had been friend since kindergarten. They got seperated when Amelia had to travel to Los Angelos for college and finally decided to reside there after college but they kept in touch. Amelia knew Scarlett so well.

Scarlett turned to face Amelia and replied ,"Of course, I haven't changed dear. I'm still the same Scarlett you'd aways known, the strongest queen ruling her own Queendom." She chuckled.

"Well, yeah. I'm really happy you're here in the city of Angels finally and I'm most happy cause you'll be getting a job with the Artemis company. Do you even know that Artemis Group of company is everyone in Los Angeles dream job place." Amelia told her friend

Scarlett smiled, she'd always heard about the company and it was a dream to work there but she never thought it'll come to pass.

She walked up to Amelia, hugged her so tightly and said, "Its grace". they both chuckled and moved into the kitchen to make dinner.

While they were making dinner, Amelia started, "Scarlett, have you seen the boss before?"

Scarlett who was chopping onion at the time turned around confused, she asked, "Which boss please". her eyes already filled with tears from the nitrogenous nature of the onions.

"Which other boss would I be asking about?" Amelia queried

Scarlett got the whole gist at that point, she chuckled and said "Well, I've seen picture of him but I've never really seen him. His pictures are hot, I mean he is hot" They both laughed out loud.

"He's surely your speck right?" Amelia teased

"Girl, No!!! Capital NO" she became serious at once like something had just clicked in her mind. She continued "I'm not even his speck to start with, look at me. Yeah, of course I'm pretty and I'm a queen but The son of Artemis wouldn't look at me twice, I'm not his speck. Lets be realistic here, I'll be working under him my dear. With his hotness and everything, he probably has a girlfriend who would be up to his standard"

"Well, you've got a point but he'll probably be an every woman's dream guy." Amelia concluded

"Nope, not every woman though. I just hope he'll be nice and the company too would be nice. I'll be going there tomorrow".

Scarlett was so excited to go to the company the next day but she was also bothered especially because she had never been to a big place like that and she hoped everyone there would be nice.

"What are you thinking on, girl?" Amelia asked her but she didn't reply, she turned around putting on a fake smile.

"This opportunity is all you've ever wanted, you're a queen of your own Queendom as you've always said. You create the rules for your life and you can not be afraid. Tomorrow would be a success and I know it, every other day would be a success, Scarlett dear" Amelia said trying to cheer her up. She smiled and continued with dinner.

Scarlett couldn't wait for the next morning.
