A Desire To Last A Lifetime 37- "Stained."
Deputy General Manager turned to me.“If it were me? I wouldn’t really allow somebody to do that, Tami. Even if he’s my boss. If I were in your shoes, I would’ve even thrown those papers right in his face!” She softly chuckled with her own joke as she continued to speak for me.I faintly smiled in response. Actually, I was already thinking of doing that before she could mention it and I was only waiting for my temper to completely lose and gain all strength and anger to throw these papers at the General Manager’s evil face.Meanwhile, Fabio still remained with that poker face as he was looking at me and then at his sister, and then at me again.“Now, give that to him, Tami, and you can go back to your desk because for sure, you still have many other things to do than printing papers and keep on going back and forth inside this office for Fabio’s unending demands.”I followed. A bit hesitant when I looked at him and he was staring at me blankly, I put the folder on his table.Natasya g
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 38- "Gold-digging."
I was a bit startled by how she could afford to be this harsh on me in front of other people who were already having their attention on us both. For the love of life, she was even belittling me!D*mn! This is very scandalizing and shameful!No matter what, I chose to remain cool and extend my patience to not be rude publicly.Alright, so she didn't want the money for the laundry and she even bragged about not mind buying another dress because she could obviously afford it, so why still fussed?"Then at least let me pay for the dress you'd be buying in replacement of that one I stained so that I could make it up to you and we could be quits," I still offered.She laughed as if that was the biggest joke she ever heard. "I doubt you could afford its price, girl."I couldn't speak anything anymore since I knew she had a point. In my current life as of this moment, I work hard for every single centavo and without the connection of my family and the money from Davis, it would be hard for me
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 39- "Oral defamation."
Chantal was wearing a maxi dress, white stilettos, and a signature bag.I could proudly say that above the three beautiful women in front of me, Chantal was the one shining the brightest among them because she was obviously pretty not only from the outside but also from the inside. The beauty of the soul truly radiates a lot.Effortlessly, she was an attention-getter, without even trying to be one but naturally, she absolutely was. Men at their respective tables, with or without a partner, glanced her way. Even some women were mesmerized by her charm. And restaurant workers, for a moment, also took a glance at her whenever they passed by."Get over your insecurities and start genuinely loving yourselves, both of you, come on!" Chantal advised Venice and Priscilla.The two couldn't say a thing and looked away in embarrassment. Karma, karma, karma… What comes around, goes around!"It's never somebody's fault that she was born a beautiful person with a beautiful figure and surely, a beau

In the end, everybody chose peace and it was the two witches that adjusted to the situation they first created. Venice and Priscilla volunteered to be the ones to get out of the restaurant and just find a new one while Chantal and I stayed and ordered our food to eat. "Thank you for being there and for siding with me, Chantal. If it weren't because of you, perhaps we were still talking about their absurd, false, and irrational attacks even up to this moment," I thanked her from the bottom of my heart. She smiled her kindest. "It's alright. I just couldn't really stand it when women were harassed and publicly shamed by other women. How I hate that!" "And that's why your calling has always been to protect women. You are a hundred percent destined to be a lawyer which you are doing now. It totally suits you and you are extremely perfect for your chosen profession." "Oh, that's too much of a compliment, but thank you, Tami. So sweet of you!” I smiled. Our food had been finally served

A Desire To Last A Lifetime 42- "Spill the tea!"
"Their story was not your so-common as falling in love at first sight and dating each other. No, that was not it. The truth was it was actually the opposite way around…”Everybody was interested in Yasmine’s spilling the tea about Johann and Celyn and how the romance between the two actually started…“We were at school that very moment, and well, we came across the most famous boys in our university's basketball league... I was even shy because I had a secret crush on one of them. But don't get me wrong, alright? It wasn't Johann I had a crush on. It was their captain, Clinton, who happens to be my husband now..." Her smile got even sweeter when she glanced at her husband.People were enchanted and totally got kilig vibes with that.Clint chuckled softly while looking at his wife full of love in his eyes for her. Years of being married and they're still madly in love with each other. What a great sweet couple!"But this isn't about me and my husband so let's go back to Johann and Cely
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 43- "Pull me closer."
Sometimes it's no wonder why despite our differences, we still clicked to be the best of friends, Celyn and Yasmine always tend to matchmake me, especially with my best friend—Chris!I smiled and shook my head lazily. "Crazy accusation! That's so false, Mrs. Hidalgo!""I wish you were right, Lyn, but definitely, you weren't." Chris followed. "It's the both of you the reason why we came here to wave her goodbye and she has to leave already. Tamara has an important thing to attend to."Both Celyn and Johann looked at me."Can't say what it is all about but it's urgent... and I can't not go. Please, Lyn and Johann. I hope you understand.""Is that really so important?" Celyn asked in a nice but sad way.I nodded. "Yes, Lyn. I'm really sorry. I'll just come back next time, okay?"Celyn huffed before nodding understandably. "Alright then. There's still next time, especially at Chabtal and Ethan's wedding."I smiled peacefully and held my friend's hands. "Thank you very much, Lyn.""How's t
A Desire To Last A Lifetime 44- "Getting back..."
It was awkward because we were traveling together, facing each other, but nobody was talking, and silence completely filled the atmosphere. "I'm so sorry, General Manager," I spoke first, and I meant that. He only crossed his arms and remained silent. "We missed our supposed scheduled flight and this was, I think, the reason why you had to resort to paying for a private flight like this which I am so sure many times costs higher than the commercial one. It was my fault. If it weren't because of me, you wouldn't need to be spending much for air travel." He looked at me expressionlessly. "It's alright. Don't mind it." I just sighed. He didn't seem to take this as a really big deal because maybe paying for expensive things wasn't a big deal for him at all most of the time. "Just do your work properly as my secretary and don't cause any pain in my a$$ when we get there, you got it?" I grinned softly and nodded. "Noted, Sir. No worries." He nodded and looked away. I remembered aski
