The beginning of Mia's horror

Mia Hertz ,a young girl with a kinda depressed life(which is the understatement of a lifetime) with a supposedly bright future (which she alone believes) returned home at 9 pm.

You must be wondering why she was so late. It was not because of school stuff since her school ends at 5. She was actually working part-time as she had to support herself and her retired old father. She was depressed as it was the third job she lost in this month....

She dreadfully and much hesitantly entered her home. After her dear mother's death she no longer liked her home for it was too lonely. Her mother, when alive,used to greet her every day and animatedly used to listen to her speak about her day in school. But now nobody greeted her. Her father was sick and suffered PTSD so she often had to shake him out of his trances when she came back or he won't even notice her. With a heavy heart she went to her father's room and smiled at him while saying," Papa wake up. I m back. What would you like to eat? I'll cook anything you want. Don't hesitate."

In return her father said," Cook anything you want my dear. Don't mind this old man's preferences. Just cook whatever fits our budget and if anything is left then go shopping for clothes with it.

Mia in turn counteracted by saying," Papa don't worry, tell me what you would like to eat. No matter the price. I'll make it for you."

Though she said this ,she can't help but worry about their budget. They really don't have much money. But she knew that if their living circumstances were like this only then in a few months her Papa would be dead as they don't have enough for the treatment for his sickness and PTSD problem. So she wanted that if he dies he dies happy. This broke her heart as she could not save her father unless she got money. This was why she worked so hard per day, to save her father.And now as a last try she will interview for a job at The James Corp. in a last desperate attempt. Otherwise she would just give up and go through with it no matter how sad it sounds.

Tomorrow she would go to the James Corp. to get a job and perhaps avoid the CEO like he's the plague. She already had enough on her plate and she didn't want a CEO after her too. She wished to every god out there that the most eligible multibillionaire bachelor out there did not remember their past. She believes that he won't recognize her as she never showed him her face but she forgot to that this is not Cinderella [1] and that he had heard her voice. Well lets let her continue her wishful thinking [2].

[1] I think everyone remembers Cinderella and the fact that the prince did not recognize Cinderella by her face or voice even when he spent many hours with her and needed the shoe to find her. It means that at least our ML is logical, realistic and not oblivious like others.

[2]This is a phrase I took from Taylor Swift's song"Back to December". The line is 'maybe this is wishful thinking. Probably mindless dreaming

But if we loved again I swear I 'll love you right'. This gives all two hints. One is that the ML and FL or MC's past included them falling in love. Second that they both probably still have buried feelings which means there will be many quick sugary scenes once in a while.
