BEING HIS SECRETARY:unnoticed.

❤️ ALYSSA’S POV ❤️ Waking up to be welcomed by the usual arguments and fight in my family has become normal,it isn’t new to me that my mum or dad or even my elder brother will be exchanging one word or the other every morning and to be sincere,it’s getting tiring and after every arguments Mum will remain indoors doing nothing but crying and I hate it. I hate it when they fight because there isn’t any food in the house,I hate it when they fight because there is no money to pay for the light bill or water bill and that’s why I keep telling myself to go get a better job since my elder brother doesn’t want to work. “You don’t always have time for your family Marco,what kind of man are you to leave your house when you know your family is starving and at the end of the day you’ll still come back with empty hands.”I heard Mum yelling. “I’m busy Lucy.”Dad replied nonchalantly and that fueled Mum’s anger more. “Busy,busy you say Marco,yes that’s what you always say busy,you are always busy and there is nothing to show off from it.”Mum yelled and even if I was in my old room I can still hear her voice clearly,she was breaking down and she will hold on until dad leaves the house before crying,she won’t cry in his presence and when I asked her why she said and I quote * I want lower my self respect by crying for or in front of a man * and what she said really made sense,from that day I took it as my key point that whenever I starts dating I won’t cry in front of him to give him the satisfaction that he’s hurting me. “You say you are starving,you have a grown up son old even to feed you for Christ sake but no he just sit around doing nothing. I didn’t train him like that Lucy.” “Oh so now you are blaming me for his upbringing should I remind you who he takes after,you know how frank is no matter the condition we are in he will never work.”Mum explained tiredly,everyone is tired of frank and he doesn’t seems to have the slight urge to change. “Then you talk more sense into him,you know what am tired am fed up of all your nagging.”I heard the front door opened and closed with a bang which indicates that dad left home angrily. “Leave that’s what you know how to do best,you lazy man.”I sighed tiredly. Sometimes I wonder how they got married in the first place with the way they are quarreling everyday and have not one but two children. I got down from the bed and did a little stretch before going out to the living room and as always met Mum crying silently. “Good morning Mum.”I greeted and she immediately cleaned her tears like I haven’t seen them before looking at me with a sad smile. “Morning Aly,how was your night?”she asked. “It was fine.”which both of us know it was a lie,Mum and dad argued all through the night and I guess they did the finale this morning. “Go freshen up so you can eat before going for your job hunting.”I nodded and smiled at her before returning back to my little room,one would think it belongs to a baby with how little it is but am happy I’ve my own room and privacy,I can lock the old wooden door if I didn’t want to see anyone and it’s cool. I’m Alyssa Brown,twenty three years old and I can’t say am perfect because nobody is perfect but I’ve got the right shape and body any man,I repeat any man would die for. I’ve a dark black long hair which I took from my beautiful Mum and also an elder brother who is the black sheep of the family who I call a lazyass,Frank is my one and only lazy brother who at the age of twenty seven still depends on his family for food,money and shelter. I sometimes wonder if it was Mum Who birth him or he was adopted.LOL. Enough about me. I freshen up quickly then wore my best clothes for my hunting before going back to the living room for my breakfast. I ate the little pancakes Mum made then took my CV before stepping out. “Morning Aly.”Mr jolly greeted and I smiled. His name is actually Mr Damien but I nicknamed him jolly because well due to the name he was always jolly even at old age. “Good morning Mr jolly.”he was our neighbor and did I mention that he wants me to marry his son,I guess I didn’t but Mr jolly wants me to get married to his boy Tristan which I wasn’t in support of,I mean I have a dream and career to pursue before thinking about getting married. “Where are you off to?.”he asked and I smiled again,Mr jolly is really getting old. “Oh dear sorry I forgot but I wish you success.”he said as soon as he remembered. “Thank you sir.”I turned to leave but someone stopped me. “Aly,Hey Aly.”I turned and rolled my eyes,speaking of the devil. “Morning Tristan.”I greeted Mr jolly’s son. “Same to you,c... can I give you a ride.”he offered nervously and I shook my head “No thanks I’m fine.”I lied and turned to leave but he held my hand. “You are looking for a job right.” “Yes.” “Then hop in I’ll drop you off at town.”he persuaded and I gave in. “Fine.”I entered his car and we zoomed off. Few minutes later “Thanks tris.”I waved at him as I came down. “You are welcome,so see you later.”he said and I nodded as I watch him zoomed off. I started my hunting at 10:25 and now it’s 3:45 yet there isn’t any progress,I went to different companies,supermarkets and even schools but no one employed me it’s seems they all have something against me today. I was frustrated and hungry so I took the public bus with the little money I had home. “Aly you are back.”Mum said as I walked in. “Yes Mum.”I slumped lazily on the worn out couch. “How was it?”she asked and I sighed. “No one employed me either am not qualified or they do not need my service.”I groaned out my frustration. “There is a reason for everything Aly maybe God has something big for you.”she said holding my hand and I feel refreshed immediately,there is nothing in this world like having a nice,sweet and caring mother and am grateful I got one. “I just pray so,where is frank?” “He went to his usual place.”I scoffed,I don’t know the day he will change always gambling and sometimes I wonder where he gets the money to gamble from. “And dad.”I asked and her face changed a little bit but she quickly masked it. “I don’t know,he isn’t back from his outing.”I know Mum is in pain I mean who wouldn’t be,mum’s married life sucks well I can’t tell from when I was little but as the age of ten I know her ( married) life sucks and I keep on praying not to encounter any of it in my life. “Here I know you must be hungry after your long walk,please manage this it’s all I’ve got.”Mum stretched two dollar at me. “No mum,you can have it. I’ll be going to Mady’s mum restaurant then do a little job,get paid and of course something to eat.”I said and she smiled. “Thank you Aly,I better keep this money before frank comes in.”and speaking of the devil,he walked in looking drunk yeah that’s what he’s good at,going to clubs and gambling his life away with those useless friends of his. “Someone called Frank.”he asked and belched out loudly. “No one called you Frank.”I said and he glared at me. “I wasn’t talking to you Aly or whatever your name is.”he yelled and truth be told I was hurt but I know that this wasn’t Frank speaking,it was a drunk Frank. “And you are not the only frank on earth.”I fired back already pissed. “Aly you better shut that tiny mouth and brain of yours this instant else you won’t like what I will do to you.” “I agree my mouth and brain is small but yours is big and you can’t do anything meaningful with them apart from drinking and gambling,grow up frank.”I yelled out and walked out angrily. This is our life always fighting,I always fight with him and I don’t like it but what am I to do when my elder brother is a douchebag. I just don’t understand him,he’s gonna be someones husband and father one day except he decides to be a priest but I doubt if God will accept someone like him. Just joking,I changed before leaving the house to Mady restaurant after notifying mum.
