In one of the tall high-rise buildings on the streets of New York, two women walked out of a board room into the elevator. One had long curly blonde hair while the other was a redhead.
"Mia, are you alright?" Alex gently patted her. It hurt to see her best friend in so much pain.
Mia lightly nodded with a bitter smile. "They are trying to take advantage of me because of my age, aren't they?"
Alex sighed. "Fucking selfish assholes. If uncle and aunt were alive…"
"But they are not alive anymore, Alex." Mia cut her short.
Alex didn't say anything after that as the two of them walked in silence for a long time. When they reached the gates of the tall building, Mia silently waved her hand for a cab.
"Mia, just come home with me. I don't want you to stay alone." Alex caught her hand and insisted.
"No. I need some time and space to think. I will call you tomorrow." Seeing the worried look on her friend's face, she added with a sad smile. "Don't worry. I won't do anything rash."
Her words didn't comfort Alex even one bit, but she forced a smile and waved her hand as the cab took away. She in fact did not plan to leave her alone.
"I will wait for a couple of hours and then go visit her with dinner." Alex took out her phone and scrolled through her emails as she flagged for another cab.
The past few weeks had unexpectedly changed all of their lives. Mia's parents died in an accident, leaving her as the sole successor for all of their properties and shares.
Alex gritted her teeth. She was determined to take things as far as it was needed. She was going to put everything on the line, so how could she hesitate about something like this?
After all, it was just a game right… just how realistic could it be? Something like that couldn't possibly matter as long as it didn't happen in real life!
She bit her lips and turned to look at her brother who was back to watching the news. "Do you still have that jerk on your friend list?"
