He paused, then resumed, before he hurriedly walked through the stairs, nearly pushing those that stood in his way.In a fit. He ran, walked and muttered some unbearable words under his breath, as soon as he reached the elevator, he tapped his feet on the elevator as he got into it, tapping the red flashy second.Just ten seconds.Just ten damn seconds.And when the elevator stopped, he almost pushed through it, twisting the door of his office open.And there she was, seated there, her head leaning on the chair, her hair scattered in between her face with her eyes closed shut.Her lashes trampled when she felt a cold presence in the room, and suddenly, she bobbed them opened immediately, staring at Devon who walked towards her."Arya," He began, slowly walking to his seat, adjusting the chair, he sat down, his eyes facing her."Devon." She managed a gulp, she had never realized that calling out someone's name could be so terrifically hard."You came," Anxiousness was laced in his voic
The Next day, Arya heaved a quiet sigh, as she hurriedly walked towards Clara Clothing Plaza in a fit. She wiped the sweat that lingered in her forehead, as she gazed up at the Plaza, a slight curl forming in between her lips.The same plaza that she was fired, why was she even here anyways? maybe because she wanted to see her workmate and friend, Wanda or maybe she just missed the cool interior of the plaza.It pained her greatly as she walked inside, the door making a chiming sound, sighting Wanda who was busy muttering some words to a elderly woman.Wanda sighed for the last time. "It's a lipstick. You apply it in your lips." Frustration clearly etched in her voice."In my days," The elderly woman held the lipstick, "There was no such thing." She flashed a elderly smile at her.Wanda could feel her blood rising up in swift anger, she didn't want to snap at the innocent lady, so she just said. "It's my break now, there are a lot of workers you can meet if you want to purchase the li
For the last time, Arya peeped through the windows, her hands fiddling with the curtain, a occasional sigh escaping her lips.She bobbed her head towards the window, gazing at the dark sky, how the clouds formed against the sky, the darkening of the clouds, it was going to rain soon, she was sure of it."What are you doing?" Colin, her younger brother almost stuck his head towards her direction.She let out a shrill yell, her heart panging in horror. "Why are you here? you scared me."His hands clutched around the bowl of ice cream, "Why are you still up?"She slumped in the chair, biting her lower lips, how could she say she was waiting for Devon Brookes? if there was one thing about her brother, he could easily detect lies."Umm. It's not even eight, why are you still up?" She gazed at him.He smiled cheekily, his hands pointing towards the kitchen. "I was craving ice cream." He nervously said, dressed in a unicorn pajamas, a pair of pinkish socks, and a plate of ice cream etched pr
Arya's hand held the sink handle, as she turned back immediately, her hair flipping backward in motion.Anna smirked before walked over to her. "You are here?" She scoffed internally.Arya inhaled a quiet sigh, calmness. That was the only thing she needed before she snapped Anna into two. She would exhibit calmness, because at the junction of her life, that was what she needed.Anna smiled, twisting her body, as she circled Arya. "Why are you at imperial restaurant? do you have a date or something?""Go away, Anna." Arya's hand made for the sink, before she twisted it open, soon enough, the water gushed into her fingers, warm.Anna who wasn't the least ready to give up and go home defeated said. "Are you still single because Kelvin loves me and not you? It's not my fault that he hates you." Her voice was sinister.Arya turned towards her, anger blaring in between her lobes, her presence emitted rage and even Anna couldn't help but whimper at her fierce gaze.Arya walked towards her sl
Arya inhaled, sharply, her eyes twinkling around until it landed on the handsome man in her presence. His eyes shook darkly at her, and his presence loomed over her. Dark, quiet, shrill. She had better not lie, else, she would face the consequences.She gazed at his dark eyes that probed into her very soul, her body trembling under his gaze.She cleared her throat, not once but twice, so she could show him, she wouldn't lie."We are friends. Honestly." Right. She didn't lie right? just that, she added a little pinch of lie. They were friends, that was the exact words to say.Devon still watched her intently, not seeming to believe her words. They are friends? Did she take him for a fool? Someone who was incapable of believing words?"Arya." His voice turned rather shrill, and she gazed at him, "You are friends?" He asked again."Yes. Yes." She fiddled with her fingers underneath, maybe, just maybe, if she maintained her lie, he would believe her.His hands grabbed the napkin lazily, m
It took a fraction of seconds for the word to pop into Alisha's brain, and when it finally did, she turned, her heels almost snapping into two, her eyes widened with surprise, no not that, pure horror.She pointed her fingers at her, her nails sparked with a colour of blue, trimmed elegantly, she turned back to Devon, her head almost snapping dizzy. "Wife? Did I hear it right?" Her eyes bobbed shut, and she finally fluttered them opened, staring at Arya who remained calm in her seat.Devon had actually gotten married? Who in the heck was this woman who carried no aura of being wealthy, her face was plain, clearly that no makeup was around her face, her dress was simple and arranged. Who in the heck was she?She turned to Devon, gazing with anticipation, maybe, she heard it right. No, no, no, Devon couldn't be married, he just couldn't. Why would he? Devon snapped his eyelids at her, "What? Aren't you happy for me?"Arya adjusted in her seat, feeling rather awkward, the atmosphere tur
In a fit, she descended the stairs, her hands flashing across the railing hurriedly and down into the main living room.She walked over to her husband with a hearty smile, before gently grabbing the suitcase from his hand. "How was work?" She maintained a proper smile.Jasper had a alluring figure, and his blonde hair was well arranged, his daring sparkling suit hung lazily around his body, and his golden like eyes twinkled in the light.His firm hands made way for her waist, and he hugged her lovingly, inhaling her enchanting scent. He always loved her scent of fresh strawberries. "You look pretty today." He said, quite lowly.Alisha struggled to release a snort, and smack his shoulders, but she managed to force out a smile, so much, she thought her jaw would snap open. She gazed up at the alluring figure in front of her and snorted, but changed it to a laugh."Alisha." He groaned, his hands still fixated around her body. "I want you all to myself.""We are married, right?" She cuppe
They all watched in silence as he picked up his phone, and swiped up his message, their jaw was wide open, and their eyes blinked, countless of times.Devon Brookes actually brought his own phone to his meeting? They couldn't believe it, it wasn't what they expected, he still sat there with a raised brow and when he realized it was his phone, he let out an amused chuckle.His eyes hurriedly read the message that Arya sent him, and for some unknown reasons, his lips curled up in a sly gentle smile.They all watched in awe.He gazed at them, his hands still clutching his phone. "What? You wouldn't continue?" He asked, his face gazing at them.They all trembled, their head facing down.Devon sighed, before kicking the chair away, standing up lazily, he folded his hands. "Meeting ended, we will meet same time tomorrow," He walked towards the door, the sly smile still plastered across his face.Daniel blinked, was his dreaming right now? Devon was letting them go, even though they failed t
