DamonA frustrated hiss left my lips as I paced around my office. "Wait.. Don't tell me you couldn't do anything when she attacked you" Derek said. If only he could shut his mouth up. He knows how to blabber nonsense at the wrong time. Derek and I have been friends for as long as I could remember. The friendship started when we were in high school. When he was transferred from another school. We click almost immediately. Some people were saying I downgraded myself by befriending a poor guy. But I don't care about that. What drawn me to him was his intelligence. Forget you're smart. Derek will sell you off in a snap of finger. He has a sharp mouth but can be annoying. Nevertheless, he's still my best man. And knows how to solve my problems. Not all though. When his head begin touching he mess things up."What do you expect me to do? Slap her? You know I can't do that" I asserted. His laughter erupt in return. "What's funny? You're supposed to help matters not add more fuel to fire" H
Hazel“Nikki can you send over the sales report from last week to my office. Thank you” A frustrated groan left my lips as I dropped my phone on the desk. I've been doing two task at the same time. Working and taking calls. There was a problem with the sales report. What I have on my screen is not tallying with what was written on the paper. I've been trying to reach out to the department for possible explanation yet I'm getting no response. I haven't gotten to rest. We had a meeting immediately after we came back from Germany. Damon was giving me that bossy cold treatment. If I say it bothers me, I would be lying. I would want us to stay as stranger. After all, I don't know him that much. He left the office with his friend quite a long time ago. His friend was the only one who acknowledge my presence whereas, he spared me no glance. A knock sounded from the door followed by the presence of Nikki. “Here’s the report Ma’am” “Thank you Nikki” She flashed me a smile and walked out. I s
DamonI knew my plan will work. No one can resist my charm. I was surprised at how calm I was. Someone will think I hold no grudge against her. She thinks she can humiliate me and get away with it. I can forgive her for what she did in Germany. There were no prying eyes. But the slap, how embarrassed I felt, I don't think I will let it go by. Which is why I came with a plan using the new business deal as a weapon. I will use that to earn her trust. To make her trust me. After I've earned her trust completely, then I will use that to humiliate her.Just that thought pump my adrenaline with excitement. I put off the oven and took out the freshly bread. Somehow, I woke up with cravings of homemade bread. I don't fancy eating that much but when I have a craving, I do it myself. I learned cooking for a while now. When I was 10. I used to help my mother in the kitchen. Even though she doesn't like the idea of me touching her things. Saying I might spoil them. My mother takes cooking very se
HazelI don't know why but somehow Damon changed behavior looks too good to be true to me. He actually craked a joke all of a sudden. I didn't expect him to be cool with me that fast. Yet, he's showing a side of him that I don't know. "I think Damon is actually a nice person" Sofia said beside me. We were on our way after Damon and I am inspect the convenience store. He was calm all through. I was the one feeling uncomfortable. Because I found it new to me. "You think? He might be in a good mood today" I uttered. "From my perspective, I believe he's not what people are saying he is. After all he's a normal person like us"I turned my face to look at her. "Normal person? Someone who sleeps around with women. You call that normal?" "Well, apart from that I don't see any disadvantage in him. You might get along quite well" I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. I hope so. I hope it's not a temporary something. "I hope so" No words were exchanged between us. The taxi driver dropped me
HazelMy body froze when I felt a hand tightly secured in mine. He stared at me. I stared back. My body shudder at the gesture. I felt the heat radiating off my body as he tighten his hold on my hand. “I... You..” I bite my bottom lip when the words couldn't make themselves out. I jerked my hands away standing up like I was pinched. “I will get going” I literally cussed my voice for coming out hoarse. It wasn't supposed to come out that way. I was about to make a run when he stopped me. “Miss Dalen we'll be going out to check on the site later” I could only nod my head before I made a run out of his office. The moment I stepped out, I rested my back on the door to catch my breath. My heart felt like it will rip out of it's socket. Did I just grabbed his hands? Why did I feel the heat inside me? “What did you do Hazel” I nuffled out placing my palms over my beating chest. I must be out of it for a minute. The clearing of voice jolted me back to reality. I was met with a questioning
Hazel"The injury is not that deep but I will suggest you rest for a few days for it to heal completely" The female nurse said as she bandaged my foot. I stared at her in surprise. I didn't know it was that serious. I thought it's a normal leg twist. "Thank you Mrs. Roseline. Is there a need for a crutch or wheelcha-" He didn't get to complete his statement when I cut him off. "Excuse me, my legs are perfectly fine. I don't need a wheel chair or any sort of machine for support" If not because of his nagging, I wouldn't have allowed the doctor to wrap a bandage around my leg. Wheelchair for what. I don't need that. "How do you expect to walk in this situation. Don't expect me to come to your aid again" An exasperated chuckle escaped me. He thinks just because he helped me once, I'd want him to do that again. Initially, I didn't want him to help me up in the first place but because I have no other option. He was the only one available. Now he's feeling himself like he did the best th
DamonI crashed next to Derek that was busy munching on pizza. He decided to grace me with himself at the early morning. And that with a pack of pizza. Seriously who does that. He didn't come to talk about any strategy that will boost my company but to question me on other things. "Can you stop making that sound" I snapped reaching for my laptop that sat by my side and switched it on. Somehow today I don't feel like going to the office. There's no much thing to do after all. I asked Leah to push the meeting I have to the following day. I don't have that much energy to move around. Or maybe there's other reason for that. My inner mind chirped. "Why didn't you go to work today?" Derek said as he took the last piece of pizza to his mouth. The guy is a glutton. He literally ate a pack all by himself. I wouldn't be surprised if later he'd claim being hungry. "Because I don't feel like that. You have problem with that?" I said sparing him a look."No I don't. But then I don't see the rea
HazelThe urge to slap Layla across the face grew in me. I was in nothing but a skimpy nightgown from last night. I was too lazy to change out of them even after showering. When Layla came over last night, I thought she'd give a helping hand. But instead Damon’s topic was the only thing she was interested in. If not she came because of him. There's nothing closeby to use to cover my body when Damon footsteps emerges from the door. Our gaze straight on each other. The beating rate of my hearts isn't at it normal peak. I felt it. I felt the heat radiating off my body as he squinted his eyes on me. I hugged the decor pillow as a means of covering my body away my revealing body. “Please have a seat” Layla offered. That was when I noticed he didn't come alone. The same guy from his office. “Hello Miss Hazel, hope you're getting better” The guy said flashing me a smile. My eyes slightly shifted to Damon who's eyes were already on me. I don't know why he's staring at me. Do I look weird i
