"Hey you, get me two bottles of Desperado"

"A full-body fish is what I want"

"Please be fast with the meal you intend to, and dish it out for my kids"

Anabel worked profusely, as she was seen responding to the demands and orders of different customers in the restaurant. She is known by many to be a hard-working and virtuous lady, who would prefer to work and suffer for her needs instead of leading the side roads of life.

While she served the customers, various thoughts concerning her journeys and her future ambitions surfaced. She suddenly remembered that she was a school dropout, and how her parents were unable to pay and provide for her educational needs. Even though she was determined and motivated by her background and future goals, the journey of her attaining academic excellence, crashed just when she was in two hundred level.

Not losing hope, she got a job in a new hotel where she served as an assistant to Clark. Over there, she was the choice of customers' lust and even her boss Mr. Kenneth, intentionally lusted after her.

She was frequently been queried and shouted at, by her boss for not giving in to male customers' demands. According to him, she was spoiling business for him as she remained still in her decision. Her boss whose advances were also rejected by her, punished her, by giving her a sack later.

"Hello dear, please watch what you are doing," A customer said, after noticing she was outside-minded.

"Very sorry madam" She pleads with a smiling face, as she serves food on the table.

She carried some used and empty plates away from different tables and handed them to Abigail her junior sister who is in charge of putting them in order.

She was now free a little bit, as she sighed for relief. She sat on a plastic chair, and fed her memory, as frackas of the past crumbled her senses.

Two weeks after she was sacked by her boss, her father Mr. John was also relieved of his duties as a gateman by the company's management, due to his health challenges. Only she and her mother catered for the family's welfare. Soon, she got a new job to work in a commercial poultry farm where she was one of those feeding the birds. Her salary would be increased by a thousand dollars, and she would be promoted to a higher rank only if she accepted to be the side chic of the farm's owner.

"For heaven's sake, you are a married man with two wives" She remembered telling the boss, Mr. Stone. After some days, she was accused of not executing her duties at the right time, causing sicknesses and death to hundreds of fowls. That month, her salary was to fill lapses of the farm's loss, and a quarter was paid to her. She had no one to report this to and by the way, her family was not financially strong enough to call a case. Provoked by this, her father ordered her to resign and find a more peaceful job.

However, something was bothering her and this had been in her mind for a long time which was the thought of having a fashion site. Even while she was in tertiary studies, she had been planning to have an application where different individuals and firms would unveil and promote their brands to enthusiasts. The idea was excellent in her and she saw great financial benefits from it. She has been a fashion enthusiast and a model. She has tried different opportunities in the field but to no avail, as anyone who sets eyes on her would demand sex before helping her. Truly, she is highly endowed by nature and her beauty could fall a strong king. She was determined never to sell her body for financial gain.

Long before this time, she had earlier shared her dreams and visions of what she wished to become with her parents. They didn't take it seriously, as they found no gain in owning a fashion site. To them, it sounded awkward.

"Rise and go get the payment from that customer" Her boss Mrs. Edna yelled and tapped her.

Startled by this, she rosed straight away to the customer. She looked at the wall clock and it was ten minutes past ten. Gosh, she and Abigail may arrive home late today" She thought.

She proceeded by giving an account for today's sale and handed the proceeds to Mrs. Edna.

"Thanks, dear. You have done well today. You girls should try to be early tomorrow" Edna exchanged sweet words with them.

"Alright mam" Abigail responded.

On their way returning home, Anabel was stirred to chase her dream. She's already twenty-four and the earlier she strives, the better for her.

She got home and was caught in a deep conversation with her dad. She's now ready to pay whatever price she could afford, for success. She initially went to him to see if they could approach the bank or any other financial institution for a loan but the view was declined by Mr. John with sensible reasons.

Soon, her mother Janeth, joined in their conversation after seeing how serious their rapport was.

"Why not discuss this with your former boss; Mrs. Sharon" Jane suggested to her husband.

"You are right my dear" He bought her idea.

He was a close and trusted worker to Mrs. Sharon the CEO of 'Blast International' and a billionaire. Mrs Sharon loves young and creative individuals, especially ladies. She has been known in New York as the engine behind the success of some youths, as she is known for granting financial support to them and above all, he has a clean record with the company.

"We will need to see her and approach her for support," He said

"By the way, how much are we talking about here? "Jane asked Anabel.

"Four thousand dollars is what I need"She responded.

"Oh! Just four thousand dollars? " Me. John was surprised at the amount of the loan. He thought Anabel would need above that.

"If that is the case, then consider it done. Mrs. Sharon whom I know, may give that amount to you as a gift but"...

"But what? "

"Nevermind, till then" He ended.
