Chapter 1 Meagan awoke with a start. Damn it, she thought to herself as she looked at the clock, why did I agree to go to this stupid thing? She cursed to herself as she swung her long legs over the edge of her bed. She ran to the bathroom to take a quick shower.

A professional clean-up crew fixed the place up and a hurried shopping trip partly fur...

Out of all the jobs I imagined working, I never expected to be an accountant/ financing manager in a banking company. It wasn't 5 years ago that I was a strong athlete as a football quarterback in university choosing a simple business degree as a major that way I could focus on my athletics and maybe get drafted in the NFL.
