View MoreOne look at the caller, and he quickly excused himself. I took a sneak peek at his phone, and it had Ellen as the caller. I wonder what I was expecting anyway. I waved him off and went downstairs after a few minutes to see Dean speaking to Oliver. I couldn't help but imagine what he could be telling Dean with all seriousness if not to warn him to stay away from me. "Hey, is everything okay?" I was beginning to get worried." Dean asked the minute I came over. "Sorry, I should have called; I ran into a friend and had a little catching up," I said. "Oh, ok," Oliver gave me a side eye, but I ignored it. I walked away from both men with the excuse of getting something to eat. I took a plate to dish out food from the feast right before me. "The puppy has a new owner now." I heard Mrs. Caine's voice from behind me, but I ignored her anyway. The last thing I want is another confrontation with her. "You should take more food, you poor thing; I don't think that would be enough," she chuc
We walked into the party hands locked. I could feel their gazes on us as we walked in. The whispers in the air were like music to my ears. I can't begin to explain my satisfaction with seeing their puzzled faces. Dean was talking to one of the servers while I was busy checking up on some of the guests in attendance. I had to be on the lookout for a potential date. "That is our seat," Dean pointed at a table in the center of the room. It was as though the person who arranged the sitting position knew that I would be in attendance. I don't know about you, but you can't hide a rare beauty like me in a corner. "Nice," I whispered, and he looked at me with a scowl. I could tell he was a little confused, seeing how excited I was. "Shall we then?" I said as I wasn't prepared to tell him all about my plans to slay at the engagement party. He smiled and led me to the table. As I sat down, my eyes met Mrs. Caine's gaze. It seemed he had eyes on me from the moment I came, but I couldn't ca
I stood there for close to 2 minutes, mute and wondering what reply to give Dean. It would probably kill me to see Oliver partying and smiling with another woman after all we had shared. "Charm!" he called out, snapping me right out of my thoughts. But I couldn't still say another word as I stood transfixed, my head a little fuzzy. "You know what? Forget I even asked," he said as he turned around to leave. "No!" I blurted out, and he turned right back, facing me. "What?" he asked as his brows went up in a furrow. I cleared my throat as my voice sounded a bit pitchy a few seconds ago. "I mean, no, it's fine; ugh, I will go to the engagement party with you.""Really!" he exclaimed excitedly, but his face suddenly turned serious. "You won't back out at the last minute?" he asked me. "No, I won't. Later tonight, right?""Yes, I would come pick you up if you want." "I would love that," I said, smiling. "See you tonight, then." "Sure, see you," I replied as I turned to leave his
For the past few days, I have been locked inside my apartment, throwing the grandest pity party of all time. It was damn frustrating and heartbreaking, but I just couldn't get past the fact that Oliver broke me into tiny pieces for the first time in my life. Honestly, if this is what heartbreak looks like, I would rather remain a gold digger. I woke up this morning feeling reluctant to get back to work, but knowing Mrs. Tanner well, she would circumcise me if I didn't show up at the office today.My apartment looks like a pig lives in it, but I don't give a fuck about anything. I took my bath and I got to the office, and Ethan came to my desk with his wacky jokes.But I wasn't in the mood for any of them. He tried to get me to laugh at his jokes, but there was practically nothing funny about the jokes to begin with.He would just dabble a few words and expect you to laugh. "Come on, Charm, these are my Harvard jokes," he said, looking sad and making faces. "I'm sorry, but they a
My heart skipped a bit as it began racing. I turned back to face her. "Ma'am," I answered. "Let's get this exclusive before any company gets to know about it.""Yes, ma'am," I quickly replied, sighing in relief. I got out of Tanner's office and picked up my bag to leave. "Leaving so soon," Lin asked the instant we bumped into each other outside the office. "I have an interview to attend," I said as I hurriedly walked past her. I wasn't in the mood to stand for a second to talk with her. "See you later then!" she yelled as I hurried out without looking back. Immediately I got downstairs, I hailed a cab heading to Oliver's mansion. I don't even know if I was going to meet him at home, but heck, I'd just try anyway.I was busy rehearsing what I would say to him in my mind. I thought of different things to say and different ways to go about it. Immediately the driver got to his place, I paid the cab driver and got off. I turned to enter, but my legs suddenly became weak and too hea
I turned, heading towards the door, but I began hearing footsteps behind me. I turned around immediately, only to see no one. I looked around, but the alley was empty and dark.I heard a sound coming from behind the waste bins stacked in the corner. I became scared, and my body was covered in goosebumps. It was as if some fight was going on behind those bins. I moved backward with my eyes still fixed on the bins, waiting for something to jump out to take to my heels. "Oh God!" I screamed and nearly jumped out of my skin when I saw a tiny cat run out from behind the bin, but the bin didn't stop shaking. I spun on my heels and ran to my apartment. I slumped into the couch the minute I got into my apartment while breathing heavily. "That was scary," I said as laid on the couch to rest for a few seconds before I went to freshen up.I woke up and checked the time only to realize it was already morning. I was surprised I had slept off till this morning, putting on the same clothes. I mu
I knew I had run out of luck the minute I heard that voice. I thought of what to say, but my head was blank. "Hi," I whispered the minute I turned to face him. "Not wondering off; actually, it's a funny story; you won't believe me if I tell you.""try me""Ugh, I came out with my friend, to smoke and I have no idea why I am out here all alone again." "What are you doing on this side of the house? Gala is that way," he said, wearing a stern expression. I instantly became scared. "I think I got lost; I should get back to the gala," I said, moving backward. "Don't be in a hurry; we have a lot to talk about, he said. I looked around, waiting for the right moment to run away from him. "Who are you? And who sent you?" he queried me as he moved closer. "No one, just here for the gala." I answered shakily. "If you don't talk right now, I will kill you right here and now.""I swear, I'm just lost." I tried convincing him while crying. Don't look at me like that; even if I told him the
"Ouch!" I winced."Are you hurt?" a coarse, deep male voice asked me. I instantly became aware of the danger I just walked into. How do I explain why I was at this part of the woods, and for fucks sake, how do I explain my reason for running? "Are you okay?" He asked yet again. It was a bit dark out here, but I could tell he was a man in his sixties. "Are you blind, sir? I could have fallen to my death," I said, trying to get off the floor. I tried getting off the floor in his watchful gaze but fell right back on the floor. "What are you doing out here?" he asked, stretching his hand to me. I took it, and he helped me off the floor. "I came for the gala," I said, pointing towards the house. "Gala is that way; what are you doing back here?" he asked. I didn't know what response I could give; the eye patch he was wearing was giving off these bad vibes. I immediately staggered back and forth,"I came to take some air but kind of got lost; you said it's this way back to the party?
I quickly faked a smile, trying to convince everyone that all was well and I didn't need any unnecessary attention right now."Mrs. Caine, with all due respect, what are you doing?" I quietly asked her, while talking through my teeth. I stared at her confused, she was holding two glasses of wine, and she was drinking from one of the glasses, and the other glass she just snatched away from my hands.I inspected my clothes to be sure she didn't pour me any liquid when she snatched the drink from me. "I will keep on tormenting you till you leave my son alone," she snapped at me, whispering to my hearing.I guess she also doesn't want to create a scene at her supposed in-law's place."Oliver and I have been friends since high school; I don't...""Oh, please, spare me the sermon. Oliver has someone now, and soon you will be history," she cut me off."Miss Tanner, if you would excuse me for a...""Beat it already," Mrs. Caine snapped at Mrs. Baker, who hurriedly went away."If you are so c
