Chapter 1
'Jen don't worry, Richard will notice you...just give
it some time. He'll will soon see through that slut bitch Susie and come running
towards you instead of her!'I spoke as I looked into the mirror and noticed
with some annoyance my tired looking eyes, pale complexion and lifeless looking
untidy hair.
'You're a
strong, independent, attractive woman...,' I reassured myself, well I knew at
least I could be when I was not working all hours of the day and night, trying
to do the bulk load of tasks to impress my boss, all whilst my lazy colleague
Susie was battering her long eyelashes and trying to get everyone in the office
including myself to do her share of the workload.
'Honey I
don't want to be the one to break the bad news to you, but no sane red blooded male is going to give you a chance,
not in the state you're in, and your behaviour is practically depressing,' came
a soft feminine voice from nowhere.
'What?
Who just said that?' I stepped away from the mirror in alarm looking all around
me to spot a potentially rude intruder. When I was not able to locate the
source of the unexplained voice I slowly and cautiously entered into every room
of my small apartment to look around, whilst clutching anxiously to an umbrella
in my right hand, even though I was not quite sure what I would do with it if I
were to actually find and confront someone!
'It's one
thing talking to yourself as you do from time to time, but hearing voices now
that crosses the line, meaning it's time to go to bed, it's been a long day and
tomorrow you will be feeling more like yourself,' I spoke with reassurance and
relief as I ran my fingers through my long blonde hair and yawned out loudly.
'Hello
Jenny, I'm afraid you are not hearing
voices in your head because it is I who
am talking to you.....me Georgina.'
