The Billionaire's Interest

Mother Dearest

I arrive home after the site, I go straight to the refrigerator and take out juice. I am thirsty, so I gulp everything down. Clara isn't home, she is at work. I head to my room, I place my satchel on my desk. My phone chimes, I look at my phone screen to see a text from Connor. Please check your email Miss Gibbs. I go into my email and I see a couple of emails that he sent to me. I open each of them. It was a specification on all the designs that I have to sketch.

Miss Gibbs.

I have assigned to you these specifications, because I believe that you have talent and I could use it within my company. All of these designs have a deadline for Monday.I will call you. In the mean time steer clear from MR Landon and focus on your work.Kind RegardsConnor HoltCEO of Holt Architecture.

Great, now I have to start working, I check if I have everything that I need, I got a few things. My phone rings and I answer it without looking as to who is calling me.

"Hello"

"Its by time you answer my calls" my moms says to me, I roll my eyes.

"Mom I am busy, I am working"

"Only time you will be working is when you are dancing, not sketching. Now I am outside of your door, I saw that someone dropped you off, please open this door" Gosh, I walk out of my bedroom towards the apartment door, and I open it up. My mother barges in when I hardly even opened up the door. "Thank goodness"

"Are you stalking me now?" I ask her. I shut the door closed. She is wearing a yellow maxi dress with flowers on it.

"Well if you answered your phone and let me in the other night, then I wouldn't be stalking you. I need you to come home, you can't work for architecture" She scan the lounge as she walks around.

"I'm not going anywhere with you mom, let alone back home"

"I didn't drive here all for nothing, I came here for one thing, and that is you" she says glaring at me.

"Forget it mom" I say as I walk towards my bedroom, she follows me on my heel.

"Yes you will come with me. Dance is the only thing that will make you money, you still have your father's apartment, and you don't even have a car. I gave you three years to prove to me that you could make it on your own, its year three now"

"Mom I am an adult, I don't need timelines and I don't need to be controlled. I am not your little girl anymore, and Dan is not my father" I say. I take my satchel and I pack all of my work inside of my satchel. I need to get out of here, before I explode any further at my mom.

"Where are you going young lady?" She asks me, standing in the door way of my room. My phone chimes, I check my phone, I got a text from Laura telling me that she will call me and to hang out for drinks. I don't reply, I keep my phone in my hand and I put my satchel strap over my shoulder.

"I don't need to tell you where I am going to" I say. She folds her arms over her chest.

"Yes you are, you do not want to listen to me and you are disrespecting me now" she says "I will call Dan now to come and talk some sense into you" she says as she takes the phone out of her bag that I now realize she had on her shoulder. I was too angry with her to see it.

I shove her out of the way, and I hurry towards the door. Clara enters as I make my way out the door, surprise all over her face, as my mom calls out to me. "Later" I say to Clara, and I head out the door.

I walk as fast as I can down the side walk, I am waiting for Laura's call. She needs to meet me somewhere, my mom is still chasing after me, but I walk as fast as I can not looking back. "Stacy!" she calls me, people are looking at me like I'm crazy for rushing by. I don't care, I need to get away from her. I stop so that she can shut up.

I turn around and face her as she stops in front of me. "Can you leave me alone please mom" I say frustrated.

"No I'm sorry I can't, you're coming with me" she says grabbing my wrist and pulling me towards her. But I pull my arm out of her tight grasp. She always used to do this to me back home, when I didn't want to do anything. My step father was worse, I had to endure all of that. I had enough of being bullied and shoved around for their own benefit, the people around us are looking on as they past by.

"Let go mom" I finally get out of her grip and I walk away from her, I cross the street in a hurry to get away from her, but a car screeches and stops just in front of me as my reflex arc made me turn towards the car and my hands go onto the bonnet. I still have my phone in my hand. I breathe frantically in shock. The car didn't touch me. I look up and I look at my boss watching me with wide eyes through the windscreen of the car. I hear my name being called and I look towards my mom as she hurries towards me. I look back at Connor again, he leans over the passenger side and he opens the door for me. I hurry and I get inside the car. He drives away as fast as he could so that my mom couldn't get to us in time. Right now I am so thankful that my boss came to save me unexpectedly.
