Chapter One: Far from Home

"How boring is it" Samantha said as she was lying down her bed doing nothing but play around with her tablet. Currently she's waiting for her mom to arrive home, since she has something urgent to say. Summer was boring as ever for Samantha since she has nothing to do but stay at home. Someone knocked the door of her room.

"Come in" she answered still looking at her tablet browsing over some new released clothes

"Young lady iniintay na po kayo ng mama niyo sa baba" one of their maid informed her

"I'll be down in a bit" Samantha answered and stood up from her bed and hurriedly went downstairs

She just found her mom sitting on the sofa while talking to someone important on that phone, busy as ever Sam said her mind. Both her parents are not always at home but busy running their business but Sam is used to it.

"Alright take care Amie, I'll see you tomorrow" her mother said on the phone talking to her sister also Sam's auntie.

"Why do every time I come home, I feel like your growing taller and taller" her mother said as she gave Sam a hug and Sam giggled a bit.

Despite she has a long distance with her parents, they never forget to call or remember Sam. Sam is not the typical rich kid like any other she grew up to be very down to earth and a smart intelligent young lady.

"Mom what is it you want to say?" Sam asked eagerly looking at her mother

"Well sweetie I was thing that" She said as she was caressing Sam's hair

"That?" Sam asked looking at her mom intently and hoping it would be an out of the country surprise

"That since you have nothing to do this summer break, your Auntie Amie and I decided that you and Ingrid should have a summer job in our company, to train you girls since we need to prepare you for the family business"

After hearing her mom Sam couldn't utter a single word and she was left dumbfounded. Thinking of it makes her want to cry a river of tears. What else can she do they own a huge company which is passed on generations after generations since their great grandparents started it. Their family owns the Rodriguez Group of Companies. Sam then snapped back into her sense.

"Mom are you that serious!?" Sam burst out but her mom just gave her a smile

"Of course dear you'll be COO soon, you're smart and talented and I know you'll learn fast" her mom said

"Isn't it too unfair for me mom? I mean Oppa started training for CEO when he finished college and your rushing me to train for a position like that now and I haven't even step into college"

"It's never too late start early"

"I don't want to do it mom"

But her mother just furrowed her eyebrows and it wasn't a good thing.

"My decision is final Samantha no more buts and excuses" her mom said full of authority

Sam was about to utter a word but her mother cut her off.

"No buts, I need to rest Samantha I have a meeting with some clients tomorrow"

Her mother said and walked toward their grand staircase, Sam just watched her mother she can't even move and it was the first time that her mother pushed her into something she doesn't want to do. Running on her mind she and Ingrid haven't even plan for summer yet and here they are stuck to some summer job. Sam just ran upstairs trying to hold back her tears as she reached her room she slammed the door shut and dived into her bed, buried her face on the pillow.
