Althea arrived at work and dove headfirst into her tasks, tackling her responsibilities with dedication and zeal. Her day was filled with back-to-back meetings, and one might assume she was the secretary to her boss, Mr. Amos, given her workload. However, that wasn't the case. The truth was that Mr. Amos trusted Althea implicitly due to her exceptional diligence, precision, and intuition. He relied on her to handle tasks that would typically fall to his secretary, and she never complained, always delivering high-quality results. As the month drew to a close, the workload intensified, with numerous reports, calculations, and analyses to complete. Mr. Amos entrusted Althea with overseeing the accuracy and alignment of all departmental reports, a responsibility that wasn't initially hers but was given to her due to her exceptional capabilities. While more work meant more pay, Althea wouldn't be shouldering the burden alone; she would have the support of select HR employees to ensure t

THE IMAGINARY WOMAN

Contrary to Althea's expectations, she had a restful night's sleep despite her conversation with Hilda. After taking a bath and lying in bed, she quickly drifted off. The following morning arrived, and it was Wednesday. Oh, how Althea detested Wednesdays! She could handle Tuesdays, but never Wednesdays. They were always the busiest days of the week for her, even more so than Fridays, as she had initially assumed. Althea got ready for work with a groan. If she had opportunity, she would have called in sick to avoid going to the office. As she walked down the stairs, she didn't even spare a moment to listen to or wait for Hilda, who was approaching her. With a flip of her hair and a huff, Althea left the house. Althea assumed that she and Hilda had taken their silent battle to a new level. Upon arriving at work, Althea discovered a large stack of files requiring her attention. She had hoped that she had completed everything the previous day, but who was she kidding? There would al

Althea nearly choked on her drink, prompting her coworkers to rush to her aid. "Take it easy, okay?" Milan, who was seated by her side, said, gently rubbing her back. As Althea coughed uncontrollably, attracting attention from everyone around them, Aura and Katarina stepped in to reassure everyone that she was alright. Katarina offered Althea her glass of water, and after a few sips, Althea's breathing began to stabilize. "Are you feeling better now?" Aura asked with concern. "Yeah," Althea managed to respond between breaths. "Are you sure?" Katarina pressed. "I am," Althea replied, her panting breath slowing down. "What happened? Why did you choke on your drink?" Milan inquired, worried. "Nothing," Althea lied. "Come on, we're all in this together. We told you our secrets, so you should do the same and not lie to us," Milan urged. "Well, technically, it's not your secret but the boss's," Althea pointed out. "But we shared it with you, so it still counts," Aura argued. "Fi

After having lunch, Althea felt more energized, ready to tackle on the remaining workload that stood before her. Diving right in, she was interrupted mid-task by Mr. Amos's secretary, a petite, red-haired woman with blue eyes. Dressed in sage green pants, a beige shirt, and black heels, her hair tied up in a neat bun, she approached Althea's desk. "Good afternoon, Mrs. Wilson," Corelle greeted Althea, her voice smooth and respectful, aware that Althea could easily take her position if she wanted to in the blink of an eye. "Good afternoon, Corelle," Althea replied with a friendly smile. "What brings you here?" She asked, closing the file she was working on. "Mr. Amos would like to see you. He'd like to review the JHS project file with you before the meeting, which is scheduled to begin in an hour. He requests that you meet him in the boardroom where the meeting will be held," Corelle relayed Mr. Amos's instructions professionally and politely. "The meeting is in an hour? I almost f

Adam's gaze was icy as he entered the room, his eyes fixed on Althea. "I apologize if I interrupted something intimate between you two," he said, his tone dripping with sarcasm. Althea felt a pang of hurt, wondering why Adam would assume something intimate was happening between her and her boss. What did he think of her? "Intimate? Don't be ridiculous, Adam. We were just having a conversation," Amos replied, unaware of the underlying tension. Adam's smile was malicious as he took his seat, his eyes locked intensely on Althea. "A conversation, huh? It sounded kind of funny." he said, his gaze roaming over her body before resting on her eyes. Althea's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't understand why she felt nervous under his scrutiny Amos gestured towards Althea, "It really was. Althea is a jokester, Adam." But Adam's raised brow and curt smile only made Althea more uncomfortable. With a professional tone, Althea spoke up, "I'll leave you two to discuss. I assume you have
