Betrayal
"Good morning mom!" Roselyn kissed her mom before sitting for breakfast.
"Morning Rosy, keep that spirit up and that HR will be impressed enough to hire you!" Beverlly smiled to her daughter who was munching her fruit salad.
The atmosphere was between the mother and daughter was full of hope and peace as they devoured their breakfast.
"My cab is outside mom, take care." Roselyn quickly ran outside to her cab leaving Beverlly who was shaking her head in smiles.
The ride took about 20 minutes to the Foster cooperation.
Roselyn admired the beauty of the tall Foster building and walked in to enter from downstairs.
She was eager to make herself proud and be a permanent employee of the Foster Company unbeknownst to her that her hopes will be shattered.
"Good day Miss, my name is Roselyn and I'm here for the presentation." Roselyn smiled to the blonde woman behind the reception desk.
"Ohh hello Miss Smith, our HR has been waiting for you since last week." The blonde woman smiled back at Roselyn.
"Okay thank you, mind telling me where he is?" Roselyn responded camly.
"Behind you!" The blonde smirked playfully.
Roselyn turned around to look at the so called HR who is said to have waited patiently for her since the previous week.
To her surprise it was a woman standing before her. The woman had a short curled hairstyle, a black pencil skirt with a white blouse matching with black stilletos.She was neither black or white...more like a mixed racial woman.
She exuded so much aura that even Roselyn failed to approach her first.
"Unfortunately it's a 'she' today, and thanks for the compliment." The woman smirked again.
Roselyn frowned but quickly composed herself, looking at the woman curiously.
"I'm Florence, I'm gonna be your guide and help since our HR is unavailable today. Now follow me!" Florence turned and swayed her slender figure away, with Roselyn trying to keep up with her pace.
They both went to the board room where they found two executives already seated. Florence sat beside Roselyn and started guiding her.
"Miss Smith meet our Foster executives. This is an important presentation hence they have joined us today, so please feel free to share your ideas with us. There's already the top presentation so I guess you have to stand out on this one." Florence pat Roselyn on her shoulder gently.
Roselyn nervously gave out the three of her printed presentation to the three people who were eager to hear her ideas. If her ideas stood out, she would be hired and get the opportunity to work with the Foster CEO.
She immediately stood in front of the long table, waiting for a start up confirmation so she could present herself but the two executives were immersed in the written presentation at their hands. Florence raised her head and locked eyes with the executives who had visible frowns on their faces.
"Sorry but this is a waste of our time Florence, fix this now!" The grey haired man stood up in frustration while the other looked at Roselyn in disgust. They both excused themselves from the boardroom.
"Uhhm Miss Florence were my ideas really that awful." Roselyn was sweating in fear of the unknown.
" I don't know you personally dear but the Foster cooperation does not tolerate plagiarism. Your presentation is exactly the same as the one you were supposed to be competing with right now, meaning you have lost your opportunity to be our very own employee." Florence kept a serious face ...no longer smiling like before.
"I'm sorry Miss Florence but i created this presentation from the scratch, my mom and cousin are my witnesses." Roselyn pleaded with tears glimmering in her eyes, threatening to fall at any seconds. Florence saw this and sighed.
"Unfortunately this is not a good evidence; that you wrote that presentation."Florence narrowed her eyes at Roselyn who had stood beside her to beg for a chance to prove her innocence.
"I'm so disappointed that somebody out there has same thoughts as mine and wrote the same presentation that I have also written through hard work. Mind sharing the individual's name Maam." Roselyn locked eyes with Florence who was still staring at her.
"She is a graduate at River City University, Mia Campbell." Florence lowered her voice while studying Roselyn's shocked expression.
"That is my cousin Mia! Trust me Maam!" Roselyn screamed while tears were falling from her eyes.
"I saw that you were the top graduate at your institution hence I gave you a chance to top beat that excellent presentation but only you know what happened or whether that Mia girl is your cousin or not. So please forgive me for not believing you right now." Florence smiled at Roselyn.
"Well I guess it's my very own bad luck then Florence. I honestly think the Foster Company can do better than this but I'm a plagiarist am I? So take care!"
Roselyn composed herself and forced a light smile.
"Our security will escort you out Miss Smith. I wish you all the best in your future..." Florence was cut off by Roselyn who kept a straight face.
"No need for that Maam, I can find my way out of this mess!" Roselyn replied codly and walked towards the exit door.
She looked back at Florence once more before turning the door knob and going out.
Florence was left in confusion, her instincts told her that there was some foul play but she had to maintain the company's reputation by minding her business while making sure that the well deserved presentation wins with a new intern to be hired.
Roselyn sighed after walking out of the Foster building. She knew better than to blame Florence or the company; she was the one who showed her cousin that presentation unbeknownst to her that Mia was interested in the job that she wanted so bad.
'You better have a good explanation cousin!' Roselyn stomped her foot and hailed a taxi to Mia's home.
"Good day Miss Smith, Miss young Campbell is preoccupied at the moment. Please come back later." The maid replied with panic, stopping Roselyn to enter the house.
Roselyn smirked and roughly pushed the maid aside and stormed to the living room. Her cold expression was scaring the helper who had known her to be a gentle niece of Eunice Campbell.
"Where is she? Tell me or I'm gonna tear this place apart!" Roselyn shouted at the maid, her voice was almost cracking with pain and anger.
"Sorry madam but they are upstairs." The helper sighed and stole a glance at the confused Roselyn who immediately ran upstairs.
Mia's bedroom door flew open, Roselyn paused in disbelief while witnessing her boyfriend Michael thrusting his member in and out of Mia's exposed womanhood. The two people were too focused and didn't even see the present third member at the same space.
Roselyn cleared her throat catching their attention. Michael turned his head only to see his girlfriend standing at the door while leaning on the door frame.
Michael jumped off from Mia, grabbing a towel to cover his lower body. Mia smirked playfully at his actions. She continued to lay on the bed while her naked body was still exposed with white stains on her stomach.
"Babe I'm sorry, she seduced me and I got carried away please forgive me!" Michael apologised while he took few steps towards the door.
"Don't come closer bastard! I'm done with you Michael." Roselyn shot back with her now red puffy eyes.
"You also stole my presentation best cousin! I'm so proud of you both.
If you think you can also take my house... dream on!" Roselyn stormed out of the room...Mia was smiling while Michael frowned.
