Lily Trevor ,the only daughter of a business tycoon in New York City. A SHOPAHOLIC . She's always on her phone, ordering things even when it's not needed, she loves competition as long as she's the first to get any dress,car, jewelry produced.

Dressed in a big white shirt which dropped on her thigh with a black short and a high matching boots. Satisfied with her look, she went downstairs.

"Good morning ma" The driver waiting beside one of the white cars greeted.

"The black car today" she said, throwing the car key to him. She walked into the car, still pressing her phone.

" Wow, this is perfect" she said as she admired the new gold bracelet from GG Company. Without hesitation, she clicked on it to palce an order but a notification popped up on her phone which read that an unknown person has ordered for it .

"What!" She screamed with wide eyes. With annoyance, she dropped her phone on the seat and picked her second phone, pressing it like she's about to murder the phone.

"Aarrgghhh, why is the car slow"

"Ma, it's not slow…" she cut him off

"Do not talk back, drive quickly to GG company" she said with a smile at the corner of her lips. She has always loved George ODLENE. Her perfect spec, she thought.

"We are here, ma" the driver announced breaking into her thoughts. She picked her purse and phone. She walked majestically into the company. She walked directly to the showroom. Different display of gold jewelries were arranged in a showcase. Everywhere screams class.

"Good morning ma, how may I help you?"

"How may I help you, you mean?" She replied rudely.

"Sorry ma, what would you like to buy" the lady in charge asked.

" The new gold bracelet released this morning, who got it first"

"Sorry but it's unprofessional to disclose such information"She said.

"Wow, someone wants to get fired" Lily laughed sarcastically. She walked out of the showroom to the boss office.she met his personal assistant , ignored her and walked directly to George's office.

"No ma, you can't go in. Do you have an appointment with him" she ran after Lily Trevor. Lily ignored her and went into the office.

"Ma, you don't have…"

"Don't lay your dirty fingers on me" Lily warned. She walked directly to one of the swivel chair and sat down. George who was on a call, dropped the call.

"Uhmmm… you may leave" he said trying to remember the name of his PA.

"What do you want, Lily" He asked after the PA left. She smiled, looking around the office.

"Mmmmmm, such a great taste" she complimented.

"What do you want, Lily" he asked again, looking at her this time.

"You look so cute. I came to see the one I love" she said, walking seductively to him.

"Get out" He thundered, getting up from his chair.

"That's not necessary. She's no longer here so you are all mine" she said sitting on his table, right in front of him. She unbuttoned the first three buttons of hershirt ,revealing her cleavage and her white bra slightly.

"You really want to leave the company naked and give the blogs the best news feed" he said with a smirk.

"Threats doesn't get to me" she said, licking her lower lips.

"You should know I don't make threats. This is a promise, if you don't leave here"

"You are such a sponge fun but I'm not backing down" she said , placing a peck on his cheek. She picked up her bag and walked out, shaking her ass as she walked. This time, she used the elevator and her phone rang, it was an unknown number.

"Hello, Lily Trevor" The voice said

"Who is this" Lily asked

"Not to bother, I guess you went to check out the new gold bracelet"

"How did you know?"

"Who doesn't know the New York SHOPAHOLIC"

" You must have been so pissed that I got the gold bracelet before you, of course I expected this" the voice said with a chuckle.

"Who are you!? Lily thundered with anger. The elevator opened, she walked out

"Awww, I did not mean to prick the queen's ego"

"I'd break you if I get you" she walked angrily, leaving the company.

"You wouldn't dare, I Know a lot about you even your dirtiest secret"

" Dirtiest secret?" Lily asked.

"The secret of killing…"Lily cut her off

"How did you find out" she asked, looking shocked.

"The shock on your face makes me laugh. Now, you have to play along, lover girl" the voice mocked.

"Where the fuck are you!"She screamed, looking around .Blinded by rage, she collided with someone. She walked so fast to her car, beads of sweat on her forehead.

" You don't have to be nervous" the voice laughed . With fear, Lily hung up.

"Drive home" she told the driver. The driver revved the engine to life and they left the company. She was careful enough to kill her without being noticed, she thought. Her fingers trembled as sweat covered her face. The driver looked at her through the rear mirror as he drove.

Her phone rang again, she looked at the phone beside her and it was the unknown number, she clasped her palm together still looking at her phone as it rang again.

"Drive quickly" she shouted. Her phone beeped and a message notification appeared, she picked her phone finally , clicked on the message and it read: YOU DON'T HAVE TO SHOUT, HE'S JUST A DRIVER OR DO YOU WANT TO KILL HIM TOO?

She looked around nervously before looking at the driver suspiciously. It's just the two of them right, she thought.

Her phone beeped again and it read: YOU DON'T HAVE TO SUSPECT HIM, I'M WATCHING YOU FROM HERE. The driver drove into the house, into the garage to park the car well.

"Stop" she ran out of the car quickly and ran into the house, straight to her room.
