My boss

Chapter 1 - This is my life

A 25 year old Gabriella Montez got out of her bed and slammed the alarm shut to stop the ringing voice , she yawned and streched and went to the washroom. After coming from the bathroom she walked over to her closet and selected her work clothe's which almost looked the same . She selected to wear a full business suit which was black and had thin white stripes on it , purely professional.

When she stepped out of the bathroom she changed into her clothes , without cracking a smile , she went near her dresser blow drying her hair. While doing so and combing her hair and putting them in a tight bun, she made a list of things she had to do today- Give the fax to Mr. Ross, set an appointment with the Marshalls, prepare the annual file...

This was what she did everyday, immerse herself in her day's work to forget about her troubles consisting of her family and fiance. She looked at her dresser and opened the her drawer and picked up her engagement ring , it was a simple gold ring with a small diamond embedded in it , to Gabriella however it was more like a curse and reluctantly slipped it on her ring finger. Next she picked up her ugly broad framed black glasses.

And then she picked up a mole , a black big mole and placed it on her neck , it was icky but it was an order by her fiance when he had said her she was too beautiful for her own good.

She looked and examined herself in the mirror , to herself, she looked perfect but to others it was a sore sight. She had come up with some policies to save her company one last time , but she knew she would fail after all she had never passed in anything in her life and several management's had come and given up on their ruddy magazine company , why would this be any different ?

Little did she know how different it would be.

She slumped down the stairs and prayed that her fiance was not there , as he dropped almost everyday to her house. She was lucky that day as her fiance was not there instead she was greeted by her father who was very rarely home but that day he was home and her mother was flipping pancakes. They both were silent indicating Gabriella that they had just had a fight , this was not an unusual thing too , it happened almost everyday.

The fight could be about anything about how measly her father's income was , about why the food tasted tasteless, about the poor condition of Gabriella's gandmother, about not socialising in the family , or about any meaningless or useless things.

Gabriella never tried to interfere in there matters as she knew it would make matters worst , and she neither tried to help them make amends as she knew both of them did not love each other. Love, it was a meaningless word for her, something that does not exist , something that could never be in this world. And she avoided her parent's as much as possible.

She cared about her grandmother and she was the one to give her strength to get through all this . She grabbed her breakfast and darted out of the front door as her parent's began talking to each other which would eventually turn to screams.

As she walked down the streets a black car stopped in front of her and she got into it.

" Hey Gab ! " Ryan greeted her cheerfully .

" Hi Ryan " She said and gave him a pleasant look and a smile which was hardly visible. Gabriella did smile occasionaly but only in the midst of her friends , she tresured her friends and would share nice happy talks with them. Ryan was just like her older brother and was often flared about the way her fiance treated her , so she kept her stories to herself.

" So how was your weekend?" he asked excitedly.

" Great I went to Paris and London for shopping " she said sarcastically.

He chuckled " Anyways I know you didn't have a good weekend but my weekend was awesome, I met this beautiful girl and then I spent sunday on the bed with popcorn and movies and Luccy ans she was licking me all over." he said with a smirk.

And Gabi scrunched up her nose in disgust " Ryan , get some sense , Luccy is your dog."

" I know but I love my dog " Ryan said again beaming at Gabriella again.

" Why are you all hyped up?" Gabriella asked with a frown on her face.

" New management." he said as if it was a matter of fact thing.

" So?" Gabriella asked raising her eyebrows from her big spectacles.

" Duh-uh Gab . New management new boss . Aren't you excited?' Ryan asked.

" No " she replied simply.

" Come on Gab don't dampen your spirits it's the start of something new " Ryan said switching back to his enthusiastic mode.

" I can't dampen my spirits Ryan as I have no spirits" she said clearly not interested " And besides what is the real thing?" she said gazing from her big glasses as if inspecting him.

Ryan felt as though he was being X-rayed aand blurted out " My best friend has taken over our company and he is a total dude!" he said in one breath.

" It will be no different" Gabriella said " What's his name by the way ?" she asked.

" Troy. Troy Bolton" he said and Gabriella thought it was the most perfect name she had heard in her entire lifespan.
