Julie watched nervously as the conference room fled open. She saw a hairy guy with black whiskers and beards walking in. His thick eyebrows and long eyelashes rose as he gazed at her. He did not seem friendly, nor did he smile. Julie sat up straight, making sure that her sitting position was professional. He steps closer to Julie and views her from her head to her shoe.
"Hello, I am Melvin. And I would be the one interviewing you." He spoke to her casually with intense resentment in his tone as he drew his head away with disgust in his eyes.
Julie thought his behavior was rude, but she kept calm. Julie reached out and extended her hand to shake his hand. "Hello Melvin, I am Julie. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance." She said.
However, Melvin kept his hand in his pocket until Julie withdrew her hand to her side.
'Why is Melvin behaving mean? I don't think I have offended or met him before.' J
Jackson sat on the sofa with Jennie's head resting on his lap. She had fallen asleep when they were in the middle of an action movie. He carried Jennie into the bedroom and kissed her on the forehead after laying her on their bed. Then Jackson went outside for fresh air.A car stopped at the bakery. Jackson watched Julie getting out of a cab. He saw that her face seemed gloomy and wondered why she looked dispirited. Jackson jumped over his balcony and ran toward her."Julie, why a troubled appearance? Please, tell me who's the punk that bullied you, and I will beat him up. Was it that rascal, Steven?" Jackson said with heavy breath when he reached Julie, attempting to make her laugh and relieve her stressful expression.Julie gazes at his worried and sweaty face and laughs."I passed my interview at your company. Do you want to celebrate with me? We can eat all the pastries and sweets in my father's
Jackson stares at Jennie and rolls his eyes. "Was that satisfying? Honey, before you speak words that you will regret later, this is not what you think. Why don't you relax? Then, we can leave here and discuss it at home." He said smoothly."I will not stay calm. I walked in, saw my husband hugging another woman, and you asked me to be cool. Would you feel relaxed if this was a reverse situation?" Jennie screamed."Do you hear yourself, babe? You are not making sense, hubby!" He said, reaching out to hold her hand."Why don't we go home and talk about this calmly and stop making an issue out of nothing? Please, babe?" Jackson pleaded as he rubbed her hands gently.Jennie pushes him in the chest, and Jackson steps back a little. "If you guys are not lovers, then did she become best buds with her next-door neighbor husband out of pure intention?" Jennie said, pointing her finger at Julie's face.
"Bang!" Jackson slammed the door as he entered his home. He met Jennie sitting in their bedroom after searching for her for a while. Jackson's phone buzzed in his pocket. When he took a look, it was his mother calling. Jackson swiped the screen to cancel the call, then placed his phone on the table at the corner near the door. She lifted her head and met her husband's glance."What?" Jennie asked when Jackson did not speak for about five minutes."Do you have any idea what you have done?" He replied, striving to keep himself calm and avoid another senseless argument with her. All Jackson wanted now was for Jennie to realize her mistake and feel sorry about how she treated Julie."I know what I did. I removed a thirsty chick off my husband's back! You are welcome." Jennie responded with a harsh tone. She would not allow him to feel that he's right again. If Jennie does, then there will be too many apologies she owes her h
"Honk!" Jackson jumped out of his sleep when he heard the noise of a car outside their house. He turned to wake Jennie up, but she was not in bed, nor was she in the room."No, no, no! Please don't be doing what I think you are doing!" Jackson said, getting out of his bed with a pair of white socks, a boxer, and gray underwear.Jennie heard her husband's footsteps running toward the kitchen."Good morning, babe!" Jennie said with a whisk in her hand and some tomato paste on her cheek when he enters the kitchen."What are you doing, honey?" Jackson asked.Jennie thought he was kidding with his silly question. "I am making breakfast for mom!" She replied.Jackson rushed to Jennie. He took off her apron, removed her hair cover, put some saliva on the tip of his finger, and cleaned her cheek. Jackson then fixed her messy hair and fastened the two loose buttons on
Jennie kneels on the floor and picks up the broken glass."Leave it, babe. I will clean them up." Jackson said.However, she did not stop. He squatted next to her and gently took the broken glass from her hands. Jennie glanced at him with her teary red eyes and tried to get the piece of glass from Jackson's grip. But her husband closed his hand tightly."I said I would handle this mess." He said as blood dripped from his fist onto the floor."Son, you are bleeding." Rose cried.Jennie started hyperventilating. She was sweating and trembling. Her limbs felt weak, like she was about to fall."I can attend to my injury, mom. Please get my wife out of here. She's experiencing a panic attack." Jackson pleaded with his mother.Rose knew if she refused and attempted to assist him, Jackson would get mad. Plus, he would neglect his health and make sure Jennie i
"Good morning, parents!" Julie announced when she entered the kitchen that morning.Mr. Harper was taking out the sweet potato pie from the oven, and Mrs. Harper flipped the pancake when Julie greeted them."Are you going somewhere?" Harriett said, seeing how dressed her daughter seems.Julie had on a fashionable tight black dress, a purple blazer, a black bag, and purple heels. Her hair got fixed into a Large Puff and Swirling Braid."Yes, mom. I am sorry. Because of yesterday's incident, I could not tell you guys that I got the job." Julie replied.Louis looked at his daughter's pensive expression and took a deep breath."Congratulations, baby. Don't worry, we will soon finish up here, and we can celebrate over breakfast." He said, taking the pie out of the baking pan and putting it on a serving plate."I can't eat breakfast with you to
Chloe woke up feeling tired and drowsy. She spent the entire weekend wondering why Steven had not been answering her calls. Chloe knew that he did it a few times in the past, but it only lasted for a day or two. However, Steven has been avoiding her calls from Friday till now. Nevertheless, she was not planning to call it quits and give in to defeat.Chloe rose from her bed, went into her bathroom, stood before the face basin, and glanced into the mirror. She applied cleansing oil to her facial skin to clear makeup, excess grease, and soften it. Next, Chloe rubbed on a non-oily cleanser to deep clean her face and clear off any remaining debris and dirt. She took enough toner and dab it over her face evenly and let it get absorbed into her skin, removing any remaining bits of oil and filth left behind by a cleanser.Chloe then took a few blobs of the serum and warmed it up by rubbing it in between her palms. Later, she applies the serum to he
Steven opened his office door for Julie and allowed her inside. He closed the door when he entered after her."So, what do you need to talk about?" Steven said in a cold, bossy tone as he took his seat behind his desk."Uh?" Julie replied absentmindedly.She got occupied with various thoughts like, 'Is he angry?" "Do I need to make things worse?" "Will he accept my condition?" "Or will he stop being friends with me completely?" "I don't want him to stop being friends with me!" All these considerations were spinning in her head, making her second-guess her decision."You do remember what you wanted to tell me, right? Because I don't have all day. As you can see, I am a busy man." Steven continued with his statement.After his remark, Julie recognized that she had made things worse from the beginnin
