One night with the King - Chapter 88：88. Lora

Lora was a very beautiful girl as beautiful you can imagine, a true African beauty. Her skin shone like gold and she didn’t need lip balms to make her lips sexy, she already possessed the most sensual and the most beautiful lips, red and lovely.

Her eyes were brown like most Africans but not boring, you see her eyes had a fire in them that made it exciting to look at a fire that could consume your soul if you stare too long.

She was tall and slender people often mistook her for a British, her accent was just amazing and her voice music to the ears.

But, Lora right from birth has been impatient. When she was little she would cry when her request wasn’t met immediately or her toy jokingly taken from her.

Lora never tolerated it when anything was taken from her, be it a person or a thing. She was the one to take always and not the other way round. She never wanted to wait, she wanted everything done with immediacy.

And as she grew up she became more impatient and coupled with that she became very ambitious, overly ambitious. You may say ambition is a necessity for success but not when it was toxic like that of Lora’s.

Her impatience coupled with her being overly ambitious was going to be Dangerous. For as you know or maybe you don’t, impatience and ambition Do not go hand in hand or there would be chaos.

If you are ambitious and impatient it was predictable that you must find a short cut to success and one thing about short cuts is that they are very dangerous, for you do not know what is lurking in the corner because a short cut is hidden from Everyone. And what is hidden is usually painful to the eyes.

Lora had it all. She was beautiful, smart, and very intelligent as a matter of fact she had graduated with a first class in law from the prestigious university of OC. The universe gave her all but to her no one had it all and so she didn’t, she wanted more, she wanted everything.

Lora was from a poor family, an average humble family, her parents found it difficult to feed both her and her Siblings while she was growing up but they still were the best of parents she could have had as they gave her every love and advice needed from African parent’s.

Lora loved them as much as she loved her self but she loved her dreams more than she did anything. It was because of these great ambitions that she lost almost all her college friends. Coupled with her being overly ambitious she was selfish and greedy. No one wanted to associate with her except Gloria.

Gloria saw through her to see what good remained in her soul and she owed Gloria her life. Sometimes when she wanted to do something questionable she would remember Gloria and refrain.

Their college life was beautiful but when they both graduated they had to separate. It was just as hard for Lora as it was for Gloria but it was Lora’s choice to leave. She wanted more than Ocean city could give her and for that she had to leave to the Us.

However when she got there things were not as she thought them to be, as she promised Gloria they would be. She ended up working as a secretary for a law firm but lied to Gloria that she was already working as an associate.

She couldn’t afford to be seen as a failure by her only friend neither could she afford to be a secretary like she was.

She got to support her family from her salary as a secretary in one of the biggest law firms in the country. But as you well know private organizations do not give the best of salaries.
