People like her don't deserve attention
‘’Did I interrupt something?’’ I put on a knowing smile and watched how her face paled with horror. Badmouthing the boss’s woman wasn’t a good decision from the start, but the boss’s woman hearing you personally was even worse.
‘’Good morning, Miss McCarner.’’ That was the other woman participating in the earlier conversation. I smiled politely at her without the ridicule I held for her colleague. She didn’t say anything bad about me and even was frankly surprised when she heard the gibberish the first one said. I had a good feeling for people like her.
‘’Miss McCarner, since how long have you been listening?’’ I raised my brows at the impudent question of the first one. Not only she talked behind my back, but she also had the guts to question me like I was her subordinate.

The noisy club music thundered in my ears and made my heart beat faster. I was making my way through the crowd evading the dancing bodies of women and men. However, no matter how careful I was, there were still people who acted bolder than they could afford. I was just passing by a random male when he caught my wrist and pulled me towards his chest. The smell of whiskey hit me right in the face not long after. Wrinkling my nose in displeasure, I did my best to break free from his grip. Unfortunately for me, he didn’t get my hint that I wasn’t interested in him.‘’Hello, what is a sexy chick like you doing alone?’’ His flirtatious voice was next to my ear. The music was so loud that people normally had no choice but to get close to each other when they wanted to speak. However, this fel

Undoubtedly, he was drunk. Had he been in his right mind, he would never say something like this. I rolled my eyes, feeling irritation and asked with a voice saturated with irony.‘’Are you sure you want this? As far as I know, you are on a date right now. What will happen when your woman come back?’’ He didn’t look bothered by my words in the slightest. He smiled with a relaxed posture, with his teeth shining like a demon due to the dim light.‘’Why does that bother you? Because you have high morals or because I’m not attractive enough?’’ Concerning the second part of the question, I refused to comment. Knowing how much time I spent fantasizing about him in my previous life and how deep my feelings were, of course, my attraction caused part of them to him. He was a handsome man, after all. Tall, well-built with light brown hair and a mischievous smile. His

It could be said that we had a fight regarding this project manager, and he angered me so much I didn’t want to see his d*mn face for the rest of my life. No matter how much I begged, promised and argued, he was adamant in his decision to kill the guy. That’s why I wanted to ask Leonardo for help.

The snowflakes slowly danced like ballerinas making pirouettes in the night sky shining like countless little diamonds. I watched their journey to the ground, mesmerized by the tranquillity they brought to the depths of my soul. Spring was my favourite season, but only the winter's snow gave me some sense of peace and calmness. If only it weren’t that cold, it would hold number one favourite instead. But, right now, the biting frost didn’t bother me in the same way as it did before. I couldn’t feel my hand or the toes of my legs, and my nose surely was as red as an apple. However, I couldn’t stop watching the street light, which illuminated the snowflakes. It was hard to part with the feeling of serenity.However, I had no other choice but to do it. Slowly, I changed the direction of my gaze from the light to the two-storey house behind it. It was late into the night, and the house was dark and quiet. I
The Last Piece of my Soul Do you know what I want the most in this life?
Early in the morning, my phone started ringing. It took some time until my sleepy mind registered that somebody called me because they wanted to talk with me. However, even though I finally realised it, I still refused to grab it and pick up the call. Recently I had trouble sleeping. No matter if I tried to sleep during the night with lights on or during the day, I just couldn't. I was so desperate that I tried to sleep in full darkness, which I didn't do since the time was reversed. I only felt drifting to sleep three hours ago, which was five in the morning. So, which monster wanted to wake me up so early at eight o'clock?Disgruntled, I reached out and accepted the call. The not so pleasant voice of that man came through it."I want you in my office in half an hour." Before I had time to tell him to f*ck off, he hung up to me. I blinked slowly, contemplating whether I should listen to him. Nah, my sleep was more important.However, thanks to him, I couldn't d
The Last Piece of my Soul Red dot
Sometimes, when I got bored, I liked to imagine different scenarios in my head. One of them was when I was on the road, and a child was going to be run over by a car. I wondered if I would be fast enough to save it. Or would I even try? Would my instinct for preservation prevail at the crucial moment, making me freeze on the spot and watch the death of the other person, or would I be willing to sacrifice my life? The moment of hesitation or lack of it showed part of our true selves. And to be honest, I didn’t think I wouldn't hesitate to save the child even though I would look like a selfish monster.However, I didn’t know why, but when I saw the red dot moving to Kang Xianliang’s heart, I let my instincts take control over me. And surprisingly, they didn’t let me stay still. Before my mind could even realise what was happening, I throw myself at him hugging him tightly, and because of the inertia, we both fell down on the ground. However, there wasn&r

Ten minutes had left until we finally received the call that the sniper had been taken care of by Kang Xianliang’s right-hand man. At least, this problem was out of the picture. However, seeing what the CCTV footages on Kang Xianliang’s phone showed, it looked like we were far away from being saved. There was a group of seven sturdy men wearing black clothes and masks who invaded the building. Right now, they were approaching us undisturbed by no one. Even after the lifts were stopped, they used the emergency staircase, and within a minute or two would be here.‘’What will we do now?’’ I asked in despair.‘’You still can save yourself. Just go to the rooftop. They don’t want you, after all.’’ The man replied sleepily. Seeing how hard it was for him to remain conscious, I felt even more anxious from the dead-end we were in.‘’Can you use your power one more time?’’ If we wer
