Try Your Luck!

The board were seated. There were some secretaries, treasurers, vice president and some cops. Novalie, Roman and Stacie arrived at the same time. Alan winked at Stacie and pointed to a seat beside him. Stacie sat there and Novalie stood behind them. There were media behind taking photos and videos.

"Nova, get seated." Roman said. Novalie was uncomfortable seating near Roman.

"Okay. This i am not pleased! WHY DIDN'T YOU ALLOW ANY LETTERS TO BE POSTED LAST WEEK! ITS VERY DISAPPOINTING AND IT WAS ALL OVER RADIOS THAT THE PRESIDENT WASN'T DOING A VERY GOOD JOB!" Roman yelled.

"We are sorry President Roman. The letters were just posted this morning, and the parcels are in Mr Park's office" The secretary said.

"Okay, no problem. But this shouldn't repeat itself. AND YOU" He looked at the scared cop.

"You guys aren't doing your job. People are badmouthing me. Maybe i shouldn't have contested for this post" Roman frowned.

"We are sorry sir."

"WHY ISN'T THE GOVERNOR HERE?"

"Uhm, he had something to attend to.' The treasurer said.

"BETTER NOT DO THIS NEXT MEETING! I WILL BE FIRING AND SUSPENDING SOME PEOPLE TODAY!" Roman yelled and they gasped.

"We contested for this post. You can't just fire us anyhow!" The vice president said.

"I wasn't - talking to you VP Isabel." He frowned and Isabel folded her arms.

"Stacie, go get the board something." One of the cops said.

"WHERE ARE THE DIRECTORS!" Nine directors entered and looked with a straight face. Roman inspected them, and it looked like they had been running a race all day.

"WHAT HAPPENED??" He asked them.

"We were out delivering 300 parcels." They sighed and fell on their kneels.

"IS THAT YOUR JOB"

"We heard you didn't have a P.A so we decided to do it" They said in unison.

"This is Novalie. She is my P.A and will do all that. Never do it again!" Roman instructed as they sat. Stacie came with cups of tea, and placed it in front of each member.

Time Skip***

Nova was in her office thinking deeply. There was a knock on the door.

"open" It was a beautiful young girl standing and clinging to her mother, who was looking pissed.

"How may i help you?" She asked.

"I am here to see Roman"

"WHAT? THERE ARE SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS EVERYWHERE!" Nova stood up to turn it off.

"No need to do that. roman is my brother." She said.

"Oh! Hi Miss." Nova greeted.

"Are you a dancer?" The girl asked.

"Oh no am not!" Novalie smiled.

"Okay, then why do you have baggy jeans on? Do you dance hip hop?" The girl said and her mother chuckled.

"Don't mind this little girl! Where is Roman?"

"His office is in front of mine." Nova sat, as they left. They knocked Roman's door impatiently. Roman stood up to unlock it himself, some open parcels were in his office.

"Roman..." His sister called and he gave her a scowl.

"What do you want??" He asked.

"Are these parcels yours, or the citizens? And you say, alcohol or drug parcels, shouldn't be shipped in and out?" His sister pouted.

"They are mine, and there are no surveillance cameras in here." Roman said.

"Becca, go back to the reception. I will see you in a sec." The woman said as Becca ran off.

'You didn't let me talk to Becca" He spoke, without looking at his sister.

"Roman, i came to talk to you" She sat on the desk.

"Mom sent you here, didn't she?' Roman frowned.

"Yes, she did. She sent me here because she loves you and wants you to settle down with someone." His sister, Linda folded her arms.

"I don't wanna talk. Just leave." He said.

"Really? Roman you need ....

"ROMANIA!!"

"its a country."

"Its your nickname. Please, please leave." He begged. She sighed.

"I brought you lunch." She smiled but Roman ignored her. She dropped it and left. Walking downstairs, she was broken. She didn't know how else to explain to her brother. She saw Becca playing with Stacie, Alan and the receptionist.

"Ok Becca, time to go"

"I haven't even got to know Aunt Stacie well. Can i please sleepover at her place??" Becca begged.

"You know my rules. No sleeping over at stranger's!"

"Don't worry Miss. I will take very good care of her." Stacie smiled and held Becca's hand.

"Okay, this is my phone number. Send your address and i will come pick her tomorrow." Linda said.

"Why do that when her uncle is the President? I will bring her here tomorrow, and i will hand her over to her uncle." Stacie suggested.

"Okay, thanks Sophie."

"Its Stacie." She said as she left. Alan and Stacie were laughing hysterically as Novalie went towards the door with her handbag and some files. Stacie held Becca's hand and ran towards Nova

"Homie! So, if i didn't see you, you were just gonna leave me?" Stacie went towards Novalie. Nova walked faster and stopped a moving cab. She entered and slammed the door, leaving Stacie looking pissed. Alan came out and saw Stacie.

"Stace, did she go without you?" Alan asked.

"That's HORRIBLE of Nova. She can never do that." Stacie told Alan.

"Stacie, maybe you did something wrong"

"Nah! maybe she was lost in thought and didn't see me. She has some issues finding a boyfriend." Stacie said.

"Oh really, i should have asked her out, not you." Alan smiled.

"THANK GOD YOU DIDN'T!" Stacie said.

"But Stacie, let's do something about her. Am not kidding." Alan looked serious.

"I should persuade her to follow me to the club tonight, so she'll find a hot boyfriend. I also have a billionaire best friend, Amanda who literally sells guys."

"Okay, can we meet?" Alan said.

"Yup. 1am is the time."

"Got it" Stacie stared into his sparkling eyes. She noticed he was blushing, so she controlled him by holding his hand and pecking him.

"Bye Alan" She smiled and left.

"I love your friendship." Becca said and Stacie laughed. They arrived home at 8pm, due to the traffic. Stacie saw Novalie making waffles for dinner.

"Yay! I love Waffles." Becca yelled in excitement.

"Sit here Becca. I will go get us some games. Wait...what games do you love?' Stacie asked.

"I love board games, and games on the tablet!" She said.

"Okay, i will get those." Stacie went to her room. She brought a chess and checkers board. Stacie and Becca had so much fun together, and acted like Novalie didn't even exist. They fed each other waffles, ate ice cream, and even bounced on the bed. Nova went to her room and cried her heart out. She remembered Roman, and Stacie. Stacie had friends, and a boyfriend. But she had no one for herself.

Finally, Becca fell asleep in Stacie's room and Stacie went to check up on Novalie. She saw her, all buried in the sheets as usual, crying.

"Homie, NOT AGAIN! Stop these tears, i'll help you!" Stacie went to the bed and tried if she could lift her head.

"DON'T HOMIE ME BECAUSE THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN HELP ME IS STAY WITH ME STACIE! I DON'T WANNA LOSE YOU!" She let out a loud cry and Stacie burst into laughter.

"Really? Now, i understand. You are jealous of Alan!" She chuckled.

"WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU STACIE! YOU DON'T GET ANYTHING! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! ALAN'S GONNA LEAVE YOU! YOU'LL SEE!" She screamed hitting Stacie.

"Hey! Hey! You can say everything else, but i love Alan." Stacie laughed.

"Stacie! You don't know this Alan guy too well. I don't approve this relationship" Nova said.

"NOVA!! You are not my mom!" Stacie yelled.

"But i am your friend!"

"You don't know what its like to have a boyfriend. You know the best thing about Alan, he's a great kisser. OMG, am blushing." She squealed in excitement.

"Is that why you love him?"

"He's good looking too"

"Do you know his parents, or even his post in the President's office?" Nova asked.

"No"

"See? and you chuckle with him all day." Nova said in annoyance and folded her arms.

"Nova....don't worry. Guess what i told Alan"

"Alan, Alan, Alan will you stop!" Nova pulled the sheets close to herself.

"It was about you, Nova."

"ME!" She got up angrily.

"Yes Nova, about your boyfriend issues" Stacie said and Nova rolled her eyes.

"I suggested we see Sasha, or maybe go to the club today."

"You know i have never been there" Nova said.

"And that's why no one has ever approached you. The club guys got good manners of approach." Stacie smiled.

"Only a hobo has good manner of approach; and that's who i'll end up with.' She frowned.

"Don't say that...i see the future. You will end up with a rich billionaire!"

"Okay fine, i will accompany you to the club today. But rule 1, no drinking."

"Got it, homie'

"And no stripping."

"I will never let you do that." Stacie said.

"When are we going?" Nova asked.

"1pm." Stacie got up.

"Aren't you sleeping here tonight?" She asked.

"Um...i need to be by Becca's side"

"Okay" Nova said unconcerned. Dark in the night, she heard a strange sound. Then her glass jug fell.

"WHO IS THAT -"

"Nova, let's go clubbing!" Stacie yelled and Nova heaved a sigh of relief. But pouted angrily when she saw her broken glass jug.

"WHY ARE YOU SO CLUMSY? YOU KNOW I BOUGHT THIS WITH ALL MY SAVINGS?" Stacie looked unconcerned as Nova's phone rang.

"Hello" She said angrily.

"Um...Miss Nova, when are you paying me back?"

"WHY ARE YOU CALLING ME?? ITS NOT LIKE I HAVE A GOOD JOB!" Nova barked angrily.

"President Roman's new P.A is you." The man said.

"ARE YOU A PSYCHIC?" Nova asked.

"I am not. I watch news."

"How much do i owe?"

"100 thousand dollars." The man spoke and Nova was speechless for some seconds.

"Hello...i...okay, give me some weeks. Am broke right now, but President Roman will pay me this week." Nova tried to explain.

"I HAVE GIVEN YOU A WHOLE YEAR AND I CAN TAKE IT ANYMORE! PAY TOMORROW OR ELSE...." Nova hung up and opened her closet to find a dress.

"Those club guys mustn't find out that their pretty girl is a debtor" Stacie laughed.
