Rahma drove to the office in full speed. Her father asked her to bring some files for him which would be signed by some investors and the MD of the company, she should already be there but her car kept stopping on the road. If she had known, she would have told her driver to take this car together with the Range Rover she asked him to take to the mechanic.

She groaned out in frustration. Never have she ever experienced such thing in her life and to make it worst, there was a particular car that just stopped infront of her car. she honk at the low life infront of her car as she prefers to call it.

If he knows he can't drive a car then why buy one, she thought in annoyance. This was why she hate following through this route, it's full of hoodlums.

The person still refuses to move his car and this made her angry. Suddenly the man rewind back and that resulted him hitting her car so she stepped out of her car in anger. She finds it hard to work in her six inch heel because the road was bad.

She met him inhaling from an inhaler but that wasn't her concerns so she bangs on his glass window in other for him to get down,he raise his head up to look at her and to her outmost surprise, she was met with the most handsome man she has ever seen.

That got her speechless, not knowing what to say. Who is he? she wondered

He gave her a questioning look and then came out of the car, that was when she snapped at him. She promise not to let her guards down even if he is as handsome as The weekend (a/n American singer?)

She glared at his hard and pointed at him

" Hey Mr, are you stupid or what? If you know you are sick why not go to the hospital!If I wasn't driving a big car my car would have had a scratch due to the way you suddenly stop." she eyes him up and down

"Take your stupid container out of my face, now I'm late for work all because of you. " she shouted at him and people around came closer to see what was the commotion all about but Rahma doesn't give a damn that she just insulted this low life as she prefers to call him.he deserves it.

All this while, The man was only stunned at her outburst. she hissed at him and turn around to walk away but the stupid man held her arm in a strong hold .

He gave her a murderous look as if he wants to strangle her

" Don't ever talk to me like that. I repeat, don't ever shout at me" he angrily gritted out at her and at the same time, his hold on her arm tightens. It really hurt.

"Just because, you're privileged to have fancy cars doesn't gives you the right to talk to me like that, you spoilt brat. It's people like you that made people like us insult the rich"

He shook his head in some worth like pity, for her ? . She was shocked with the way he was man handling her . No one had ever done this to her not even her father .

Rahma's anger increased. How dare this low life insult her like this in public? she mentally seeth.

" if you think you'll be respected just because you are high and mighty, then sweetheart you're wrong. No one would give you the respect you deserve if you don't change this stupid attitude of yours"

She did the actual unexpected, Rahma slapped him right on the face.

" Don't talk to me like that" she yelled

People were looking at her like she was crazy. Why wouldn't they? When they are all low lifes just like him, she thought. All they do is side with their people. And someone would say she's the spoilt brat when infact I'm just doing the right thing by showing them their place.

" Get your dirty hands off me, don't ever touched me with those filthy hands of yours"

She struggled to release his hold on her arm but he wouldn't budge so she stomped on his feet and he shouted in pain. She used that opportunity to escape and ran to her car. Immediately she got in,she steps on the pedals and her car came to life immediately. she drove off with out looking back.

Rahama drove crazily to her father's company hoping that the stupid,crazy,useless man didn't follow her behind. Her heart keeps beating faster for she was scared of what had happened. The death glare he shot at me back there was so scary. She was glad she escaped his hold.

On reaching the company, Rahama parked her car at the management parking lot and took her hand bag before getting out of the car. She entered into the company,the male workers greeted her nicely while the female workers were another case. Well, they greeted her with a fake smile which she was already used to and didn't bother to answer. she'll deal with them later.

Lately, she's been hearing rumors in the office about her being rude,spoilt and so many indecent words you could think of. All the female workers started the spreading of rumours. She knows they are just jealous of what they can't have, which is 'riches, beauty, charisma and so on, '.They are all jealous of her, rahama thought.

She catwalk towards the elevator and heard them secretly making fun of her. Their ugly laugh gave it out.

She turn to glare at them and they quickly shut up and cower in shame.

If her dad would allow her, she would have sacked all of them. They better be grateful right now.

She entered into the elevator and press the number to her father's office. The elevator made a ding sound so she came out of it and walk straight to her father's office. Rahama entered without knocking and met my father going through some files, he looked up at her and smile. she loves her dad so much, he is the best thing that has ever happens to her since her mom died.

Her father is just perfect

He is everything to her. She has a step mom if that's the right word to describe her as the age difference between then isn't much, she came in ten years after her mom died and doesn't like her one bit. She has two kids with her dad.

Rahama might not like her step mother but she loves herq little siblings so much. If she was asked for reasons, her answer would have been nothing. She herself doesn't know why the hatred.Quite alright, she is nice and also the perfect match for dad.

The First day dad brought her home as his new bride, She had always looked at her like a gold digger .Well, she might be older than het with four or five year which makes her 25 years younger than dad and dad is 55. For the amount of years she have spent with her, Rahma thinks she truly loves dad and she doesn't like it one bit. Why? Why is because she's scared of letting her take away the amount of love her father always showers on her.

"How is my little one doing" she playfully rolled my eye at him

" papa, I'm not little. Stop the teasing dad" She went forward to sit on the seat opposite to him.

Rahama brought out the files from her hand bag and hand it over to him.

" Dad this are the files you requested "

He took them from her and went through it to be sure they are the right one. But isn't he going to be late for the meeting ? she wondered .

" what about the meeting with the investors?"

" They called for a change of plan. They said something important came up so I cancelled the meeting till tomorrow " oh

" OK.. Dad could you believe that some low life insulted me" he quickly raise his head up to look at her.

" what happened? " he asked with a stern face. That's why she loves my papa he always get alarmed whenever something bad happens to her .

She explained all that had happened to him from the beginning to the end and made sure not to miss a point.

" Rahama, how many times have I warned you to stop calling poor people low lifes!" dad scolded while she pout.

" Dad,he started it"

"Don't you know that God, that made you rich is the same God that made them poor. You don't know what the future holds, you don't know whether this riches of mine would just vanish one day. Instead of talking to the young man calmly, you decided to snapped at him " dad preached and all was going through one ear and also coming out through the other one.

" Do you want people to say that I brought you up to be rude and disobedient? " Rahama pouted.

" young lady I'm talking to you stop pouting at me"

" but dad" she drawled out

" But what? ....don't but dad me. I want you to change your silly ways, do you think Aliyah is happy wherever she is seeing you behaving like this? Is it a sin that I pampered you so much so you won't be sad for not seeing your mom again? "

Rahama felt bad to have put her dad in this situation. she hates to see him sad Whenever he mentions her mother's name anytime they are having this kind of conversation, her father always gets sick. He loves her mom so much. He wouldn't have married another wife if it wasn't for the pressure on him from his family. They kept pushing him to get married and now he had actually fulfill their wish.

" I'm sorry dad " she apologized for being rude

" I don't need your sorry, the only person that needs your sorry is the young man you insulted on your way here" he gave her a stern look.

" I'm sorry" when he saw that she was about to cry he exhaled loudly.

" Don't cry little one, but you need to be told the truth. You are already twenty four but you behave like a ten years old"

" please don't be mad at me dad, I can't help it when you're mad at me. Please forgive me" he sighed and stood up from his seat, he then walks to her side with open arms. she wipes the tiny tears that drops on her cheek.

" oh papa, I love you" She said when he pulls her for a hug. I took in his wood scent and relax in the hug.

" I love you too, little one"

After she left her father's office, she called her driver to come take the car to the mechanic and also ordered him to bring the other one he took in the morning. But unfortunately, her driver said the stupid mechanic hasn't repair the car yet. Why is it that people are making her angry today? she thought to herself

Rahams ask the driver to give her the good for nothing mechanic's number and his address. He sent it few minutes after the call. She saved the number and walked to her office. She did some pending work which shec haven't done yet.

As the MD, her position is of high rank and she loves the job all because of the amount of power it gives her.

Few minutes later, she round up everything around 4pm and left to the mechanic's place. She has already told the doorman to call a cab for her and the cab man was already waiting when she got down. Rahama gave him the address and off they go, to the mechanic's shop.

Few minutes later, they got to the mechanic's place. It is around the ghetto area, OMG it stinks, she held her nose. Rahama got down and walk to the direction of the mechanic's shop in her 5 inch heels. She irritably shuddered as a particular small boy covered in dirt tries to touch her.

Some of the mechanics ran to her thinking she came for repair.they were looking for customer.There were many of them so It's hard to identify who she was looking for.

" excuse me please,I'm looking for MS" the 'please 'was to look nice

M.S was the name her driver told her to ask for when she gets there.

One of them directed her to a stool to sit and she made sure to reclean the stool with her handkerchief . The man went into a shop to call the so called M.S for her.

Rahama brought out her phone to keep herself busy since the errand man isn't here yet with the stupid M. S

" ma'am, you're looking for me" the voice sound so familiar . she turned to look at the owner-

" you?"

" the spoilt brat? "

They shouted at the same time.
