Charlotte Robins slid her finger through her cellphone's screen almost as soon as the alarm went off. She sat up slowly and, with a yawn, ran her fingers through her hair before she got on her feet. It was a good thing that she had always been the morning person type of woman. Silently, she dragged her feet to her bathroom, and with a pleased exhalation welcomed the warm water as it poured down her naked body, relaxing each and every of her muscles as it did so. She took her time in the shower, humming to herself as she scrubbed herself thoroughly and gently. Twenty minutes later, give or take, she stopped the water from running and wrapped herself around her fluffy and comfy white towel.
With that same towel up on her head wrapped around her hair, Charlotte proceeded to put on some make-up, which, to be honest, wasn't much. She softly applied a dark coloured eye shadow and some mascara. Afterwards, she took out her lipgloss and left it there to use it later. Having done that, she unwrapped the towel from around her hair and combed it carefully before drying it. It was until then, that she got dressed with one of her business attires.
Later, while she waited for her coffee to be done, back leaned against the counter, the brunette's teenage sister entered the kitchen. Claire was shorter than her sister, and her hair was much lighter than hers, but the one thing they shared, was their eyes; greyish blue.
"What's for breakfast?" She asked her while she opened the fridge "There's no milk" She accused her.
"I don't know Claire, you've got to prepare yourself something" The brunette declared while closing the fridge "And of course there's no milk. You didn't tell me"
"Well you knew! And mom, always makes breakfast for me in the mornings" Claire defended herself.
"It's a shame I'm not her. Now go and get ready before it gets late"
"That's not fair, Charlotte!"
"Claire, please, you've been complaining ever since you got here last night. It's not my fault mom and dad went on a trip and left you with me. Keep behaving like that, and I'll sent you to stay with out grandparents" To be honest, the young woman didn't remember her little sister to be so ... well such a pain. Of course she liked to have her at her place, but really, she never did anything on her own. She was sixteen for Lord's sake! She should be able to at least cook her own meals.
"You wouldn't dare"
"Don't you try me" She warned her.
Claire looked at her for a few more seconds, defiant. Finally, she grumbled a couple of words beneath her breath before she stormed off. Charlotte sighed before she poured herself some coffee. She had to buy milk. After that unpleasant moment, the young woman finished her beverage, washed it, and went back to her room to brush her teeth and take her lipgloss. With all that morning routine, which was actually more like a ritual, she was ready to go.
"Have a nice day at school, Claire!" She said out loud before leaving, but to no avail, as she didn't get any reply back. Actually, she could've sworn she heard the guest room's door being slammed.
Unfortunately for her, Charlotte didn't live near her workplace. It was a long way to get there. But, good thing was, she was saving up money to buy herself a car. That way, she wouldn't have to take a bus each day to get to work. However, until she could afford the car she wanted, she still had to use that mean of transportation. When she finally reached the company, she let out a relieved sigh and made her way over to the building.
"Good morning, Charlotte"
"Good morning, Alfred" The brunette replied while smiling at the security guard "Has Mr John arrived yet?"
"Not yet"
"Thank you, Alfred. Have a nice day" And with that, she entered the place.
The building was big, nice and spacious. Of course, one couldn't expect less from the company owned by a man such as Grayson John. To be honest, Charlotte would've never dreamed with working there, but there you see, not only she was an employer there, but she worked directly for Mr John himself. While thinking about that, she stepped inside the lift.
