A while ago, a man dressed in an exquisite suit stepped out of an elevator, his secretary followed closely behind him while maintaining a reasonable distance from him at the same time. The secretary did not dare to walk on the same level as his boss. Just then, when they were about to enter the venue of the company's dinner, the man suddenly halted, he looked in a certain direction with a cold glare before he made a sharp twist and began hurrying in that direction. The secretary was dumbfounded and confused for a moment before he got back to himself and rushed after his boss. Who would have thought that the man's pace was so fast that he did not catch up with him immediately? The man who was hurrying in that direction was certain that what he saw this time was not a mere fraction of his imagination but a real person. He had to catch up with that person and see who it was at all costs. Whether his head was only imagining that person who played on his dreams every night or the person
"Leader, it's good that you are here already. They had just announced the presence of the big boss. He should be going on stage now" Julie voiced as she made way for Allicia to stand with them.Alicia gave a slight nod and she stood beside the members of the team. In that instant, Allicia felt Annie moving slightly closer to her and her flustered whispering voice soon reached her ear."Leader, quickly, look! The boss is on the stage already!" Annie expressed in awe.Allicia lifted her head and subconsciously, her gaze fell on the stage. To her astonishment, her eyes fell on the familiar figure and face that was already perfectly etched in her memory. It was a face with peculiar and distinct features that she can tell even with her eyes closed. That face had haunted her dreams many times already.Her breath ceased for a few seconds and her eyes widened. She had yet recovered from the unexpected encounter she had with him and seeing him again, her body trembled involuntarily. Unknowingl
"Here is the key to the mansion" "Thank you" Allicia stated softly, a slight smile lit up her face and her deep brown eyes glinted with pure innocence. The middle-aged man nodded, a hint of satisfaction flashed across his face. He appeared to be pleased with the young lady. She was a lady like every other one that had worked in the place before but at least, she had a peaceful demeanor that neither of the ones from the past had. And those doe-like eyes of hers did not conceal greed and curiousity like the others that he had met before. If she contained herself well during this period, perhaps, she could survive the next three months of the recovery…"Ahem-" The middle-aged man cleared his throat and drew back from his drifting thoughts. He placed the bunch of keys in the opened palm of the girl. "You can call me Felix by the way" he added. "Yes, Master Felix" Allicia voiced politely. Her pearl white teeth shone as she smiled. She carefully hid away the bunch of keys that she receiv
Allicia sat by the window and gently pushed up the window pane. A gush of fresh air blew across her face and her hair danced alongside the breeze. Her elbow propped up on the desk in front of her, she cupped her face in her palm and her weight rested on her elbow. She watched the branches and leaves of the trees sway in the tune of the gentle breeze. She had slowly gotten used to being alone in the mansion especially after she had stayed there for a week and more. The nature of her job in the mansion was quite simple, she just cleaned up a few places and prepared her own meals. She lived in the mansion all day as though she owned the place and she only left when it was evening. She had gotten used to the routine. In the big house, it was just her… or so she thought. Actually, she wondered if she was truly alone or if there was some other person who was there with her. It was always eerily silent in the mansion but there had been times when her ears picked up tiny sounds that seemed
Time flew very fast and it was just three days for her work in the mansion to be concluded. Allicia could not hide the smile that graced her red lips, the times that she had spent in the mansion had been the most peaceful moments all her life. At that time, even her skinner figure had become slightly rounder. All she did every day was eat and sit by the window, singing with the birds that kept her company. She was happy during this period and was even happier that her job at the mansion was coming to an end soon. She knew that she was a step to fulfiling her dreams. She would get a recommendation from Master Felix to go to one of the best colleges in the world and she would become a successful woman. The thoughts alone made her eyes glitter with glee. She reflexively tilted her head at a certain direction and her eyes fell on the wall clock at the corner of the room, the second hand ticked while the minute stopped on the '12' figure and the hour hand was directly '5', it was five on
Allicia was used to spending the time alone in the mansion, she casually left the door opened while she was in the only available room that she used. She looked for a towel and threw it on the bed. Her clothes were wet already and since she was staying until the rain was over, she decided to pull off the clothes. She removed her skirt first and then her shirt. She picked up the clothes and carefully spread them on the armrest of a wooden chair in the room. She turned around to pick up to towel to clean her slightly wet body when her eyes met with his. The man stood at the entrance of the room, his figure made the entrance appear smaller than it should be, a sharp glint flashed through his dark orbs as he down stared at the girl. Allicia stood frozen at the same spot, the humming stopped and the pressure from the man's intense gaze made it a bit difficult to breath. Who was this man and where did he come from?! These were the questions that filled her head. She only looked at him
It was a hot summer afternoon, a great number of people flooded in and out of the airport, a couple of people sat in the airport lounge waiting for the announcement of their flight, most had a conversation over ice-cream to cool off the afternoon heat. There were other who were looking anxiously around, craning their necks, holding cardboards and waiting for their loved ones. Among this group was a hyperactive lady who managed to squeeze up to a position in the front, she held up a cardboard with the inscription "A pretty lady with a cute bundles of joy!" Everyone looked at her with a bewildered expression. A young lady stepped out of the crowd, dressed in a Jean trousers and a denim jacket to match outfit, a floppy hat shielded her face from the ray of light and she wore a pair of sunglasses. She looked rather fashionable. However, it was not her presence that drew the attention of the people around her but the little cute bunnies that walk by each side of her legs. Both cuties we
"Ava–" Allicia rolled her eyes at her friend. "I urge you to please be quiet and concentrate on driving" she voiced. "Nonsense, I can see the road clearly! Even with my eyes closed" Ava bragged. "Nope, you won't do that here" Allicia laughed. Of course, she knew how reckless her friend can be. Ava may appear quite childish and playful, but that's a mere facade of what she really is. Her playfulness is only a cover-up for her fierceness and the banditry that coursed through her veins. If she really bragged about driving with her eyes closed, Allicia could bet that she would definitely give it a try when no one was watching. Ava had been that way since she knew her from the Orphanage. "Tsk!" Ava clicked her tongue childishly causing Allicia to laugh, she could almost hear the latter mutter, "coward" under her breath. "For the kids, you must be careful" Allicia warned. "Right!" Ava bobbed her head, just like Allicia, she could not afford anything to happen to the children. When it c
