*The Rich Girlfriend*đđœââ
*_Chapter 1_*
âSheâs comingâ, Lilian said to the workers at the lobby and they all hid.
âSheâs comingâ â she said to the other workers in the main working area and they all found a place to hide.
âSheâs coming!!!â Lilian yelled to everyone she met and those in their offices and they also found a place to hide.
Sasha walked in, looking glamorous as usual.
As she walked in, she noticed that the receptionist wasnât at her desk.
âIâm so going to fire that girl!â She said to herself as she walked pas-sed the reception.
âShe walked into the main working area and realized that no one was thereâ.
âAm I too early or what?â she said, looking at her time.
âOr am I dreaming?â She said to herself.
âLilianâ, she yelled as she quic-kly ran to her office and she wasnât there.
âOh my God!â She exclaimed and she ran to Aliciaâs office and called out her name but she wasnât there either.
âRalph!!â She said, walking to his office and he wasnât there too.
She quic-kly ran to her office and noticed that her personal as-sistant wasnât there too.
âOh my God!!! Am I dreaming?â she said as she tried to catch her breath.
âSurprise!!!â They all yelled as they c@mÂŁ out of their hiding places and Lilian approached her with a cake.
âWait What? What is going on here?!â She asked and everyoneâs smile suddenly disappeared.
âOops, she doesnât like itâ, Alicia whispered to Ralph.
âWeâre in de-ep troubleâ, he said to her.
âItâs your three weeks anniversary with Ben and we thought that we could celebr@te it for youâ, Lilian said, forcing a smile and Sasha glared at her.
âI told them that it was a bad ideaâ, her personal as-sistant said to her as she ti-ptoed toward them
âYou got to be kidding me. I have an important meeting with the mayor in a few minutes time and you all decided to do this?! You got to be kidding meâ.
âShe has a meeting with the mayor?â Lilian asked her personal as-sistant.
âI tried to tell you but you didnât listenâ, her personal as-sistant, Jennifer said to her.
âJennifer, how could you let this happen. You know what, youâre fired!!!â she yelled and everyoneâs face dropped.
âSasha, I tried to tell her but she was so excited about doing thisâ, Jennifer said to her, pleading.
âI said what I said. Just leave!â
âSasha, plea-se donât put this on her. This is all my fault and…â Lilian started to say but was interrupted.
âIf not for the fact that youâre my friend and youâre valuable to this company, I would have fired you too!â
âSasha letâs talk about this in your officeâ, Lilian said to Sasha and walked away.
âSorry for that everyone. plea-se get back to workâ, Alicia said to the workers and everyone dispersed.
Alicia, Ralph, Lilian and Jennifer all went to Sashaâs office.
âSasha, plea-se donât do this to Jenniferâ, Lilian said to her.
âI donât want to hear this. Why would you even think of doing this? Whatâs there to celebr@te?!â Sasha asked.
âYour relationsh!pof course. Weâre all happy that youâve been able to stay in one relationsh!pfor three weeks and we decided to do something nice for youâ, Alicia said to her.
âOh so this was your ideaâ, Sasha said to her.
âMe? No!â She said, shaking her head.
âDo you know what would have been nice? For Jennifer to prepare my doÂąv-ments and set up the conference room for my important meeting!!â She said, glaring at Jennifer.
âI did all that. The conference room is re-ady and your doÂąv-ments and everything is also re-adyâ, Jennifer said to her.
âAnd so what if the mayor c@mÂŁ in early to see the reception empty and every other place emptyâ.
âI communicated with his secretary and theyâll be here in the next 10 minutesâ, she said, looking at the clock.
âHmmm, fine. I nee-d everyone out of the room, to clear my headâ, Sasha said to them.
âSo are you going to take the cake?â Ralph asked.
âOf course. plea-se drop it at the executive kitchenâ, she said to him.
âSo you still want it after throwing tantrumsâ, Lilian said to her and Alicia chuckled.
âWe better go before she bites usâ, Alicia said, pushing Lilian and Ralph out of the office.
âI heard that!!â Sasha yelled as they left.
âAm I still fired?â Jennifer asked, stuttering.
âJust get me my tea. I nee-d to relax myself before he comesâ, she said to her and Jenny smiled.
âThank youâ, she said, smiling and she left.

Sasha was in her office wra-pping up when Ben showed up with flowers in his hands.
âHey babeâ, he said, grinning.
âBen!â She said, smiling and she hvgged him
âHappy anniversary babeâ, he said, pe-cking her on herl-ip.
âYou too?! Since when did we start celebr@ting 3 weeks anniversaryâ.
âYour friends told me that youâd want to celebr@te itâ.
âI really nee-d to make new set of friendsâ, she said, chuckling.
âYou donât want to celebr@te it?â He asked.
âOh no, I doâ, she said, smiling.
âOkay, I alre-ady made reservations at the Plumeric restaurantâ, he said to her.
âPlumeric? Iâve been there like twice alre-ady with my ex b©yfriÂŁndâ.
âOkay but this time youâre going with meâ.
âNo. I donât want to go there. Find somewhere else or Iâll just go homeâ, she said, folding her arms.
âSasha, I got us the best table and I had to make a down payment for itâ.
âI donât care Ben. Iâm not going there. What if I meet my ex with a different lady?! I canât stand that or are you planning to humiliate me?â
âNo no. Iâm not. I promise you, you wonât meet him. Our table is at the t©p close to the poolside. Itâll be just usâ.
âDo you know why I broke up with my last b©yfriÂŁnd?â
âSasha..â
âBecause he didnât listen to me. Iâll nee-d you to listen to me Ben. Weâve come so far and Iâll hate to end this tooâ.
âSasha, why do you always have to be like this? Itâs just a restaurant and Iâve told you that itâs a special table and youâre still…â
âIâm going home nowâ, she said, picking her bag and she walked out of her office.
âAre you really going to do this?â He asked.
âJenny!â She exclaimed, ignoring him.
âYes Sashaâ.
âIs my car re-ady?â
âYeah. Itâs right in frontâ, she said and Sasha walked out.
Ben just stood there in shock and Ralph approaches him with a drink.
âHereâ, he said, giving it to him and Ben took the glas-s from him.
âIs this the first time youâre seeing her like this?â Ralph asked him.
âSheâs been acting up on a regular but this is the first time sheâs going extreme. I really donât un-derstand herâ, He said.
âIt is wellâ, Ralph said, patting him on the back and he walked away.

Sasha was in her kitchen, getting something to eat when her younger twin sisters walked in.
âHave you seen Gwen?â, Samantha asked.
âMaybe if you checked your own kitchen youâd find herâ, Sasha said to her.
âWell Genius. We checked and sheâs not there and thatâs why we are hereâ, Sally said to her.
âDo I look like her keeper?! If you canât find her, then you get something to eat yourselfâ.
âMmm, I smell something greatâ, her mother said,the walking in.
âI really donât get why youâre all in my kitchenâ, Sasha said and Sally rolled her eyes.
âMum have you seen Gwenâ, Samantha asked her.
âSheâs gone home, she and to attend to her sick sonâ, her mother, Ann said to her.
âWhat?! And she decided to starve us to death?!â Sally exclaimed.
âShe left some food in the microwave, you can heat it and eat itâ, Ann said to her.
âHeat food? No, I want fresh foodâ, Sally exclaimed.
âAnd you always call me the spoiled br@tâ, Sasha said, rolling her eyes.
âSasha, can we get some of your food plea-se?â Samantha asked her.
âFor you, Iâd do anything. For that one, sheâll have to eat the microwave foodâ, Sasha said, smiling.
âThatâs it! Iâm going to dadâs houseâ, Sally said and she walked away.
âSally get back hereâ, Ann said, going after her. Samantha gave Sasha a look and they bur-st out laughing.

Lilian and Sashaâs childhood friend, Rachel, walked into Sashaâs house, arguing.
âYou should have just let things be and now because of you, she might end up ending this relationsh!ptooâ, Rachel said to her.
âEnd what?â Ann asked them as she walked towards them.
âMiss Ann!â Lilian said, smiling.
âAre we back to Miss Ann?â Sashaâs mother asked.
âSorry, Ann. We were just talking about somethingâ, Lilian said to her.
âSomething related to Sasha?â
âUhmm noâ, she said and she and Rachel quic-kly ran off in the direction to Sashaâs room.
When they got to her room, they saw her crying on her be-d.
âSash!â Rachel said, sitting by her and wra-pping her hands around her.
âI miss himâ, she said in tears.
âI knowâ, she said, consoling her.
âI just wish God could bring him backâ, she said in tears.
âWe all doâLilian said as she looked at Phili-ps picture on the wall and thought about him. He was Sashaâs b©yfriÂŁndand a best friend to her. He was the only one who could calm her down and talk some s-en-se into her and it was quite unfortunate that he kicked the bucket a year ago due to a car accident.
Rachel consoles Sasha for a while and finally spoke up.
âI know how this hurts you but you really have to move on and accept other people into your life without stressing themâ, Rachel said.
âTheyâre not Phili-p. Phil!pun-derstood me and knew when to listen to me or keep quiet and he knew the right things to say to me. All these other men just want to flaunt me around and show off their moneyâ, Sasha said.
âBut Iâm sure Ben is better than them. So far youâve been a bit happy around himâ, Lilian said to her.
âI know but he doesnât listenâ.
âHmm, with time, he will. Itâs your three weeks anniversary Sasha. I think you should be with himâ.
âI donât want to go to the restaurant. You know Manny and I have been there twice. I donât want any jugged up memories about itâ.
âI know you liked him a lot but now you have Ben. So go and create new memories with himâ, Rachel said to her.
âHmm, okayâ.
âSo plea-se pick up your phone and text himâ, Lilian said and Sasha picked up her phone and her face dropped.
âWhat is it?â Rachel asked.
âHe just sÂŁnt a text. Heâs breaking up with meâ, Sasha said to them.
