On Fire novel Chapter 1

I was born in a little-known small county. I was originally a designer or an office lady. But due to some reasons, I was now a manager.

I made up a job and lied to my mother about it. I didn’t want her to worry about me as she was getting older.

I wanted to leave this place a long time ago.

Two years ago, I was a manager at Golden Emperor in M City. I was not actually experienced or suitable for the position, but I thought that the salary was higher working as a manager. Luckily I was good with people back then and worked for a few months without any issue.

I used a fake name here, Barbara Cox. The people here called me Barbara. I was actually quite young in comparison to the other workers here, but I put on heavy make-up and made myself looked older. Nobody had ever seen my face without make-up.

I always wanted to leave this place and go to work without hiding anything, I wanted a normal white-collar job. I wanted to do a job that I loved in the future, and hence I tried my best to hide my true self every day.

But misfortune would come to you when you least expected it!

I treated my subordinate very well as a manager and the people working under me were all nice people.

Once, a girl named Angel, a freshman who dropped out of university came to work under me. She was working to pay for her boyfriend’s tuition fee.
