Miranda Pov As Edwin stormed off, I stood there in the sand, feeling shocked and a little bit guilty. I didn't expect him to react that way, but then again, it wasn't the first time I had gotten under his skin with my comments. Still, I couldn't help but feel like I had crossed a line this time but it looks so funny and confusing at the same time.I looked out towards the ocean, trying to calm myself down. He was arrogant, entitled, and he always acted like he was better than everyone else.But then again, maybe there was something deeper going on. Maybe I was not just seeing what he was trying to explain to me but on a second thought, His pride is something he needs to work on because he always feels like he is the most hardworking and other hardworking me are doing nothing then?.As I stood there lost in my thoughts, I suddenly heard a car engine revving and tires screeching. I turned around to see Edwin's car speeding away down the road, his anger palpable. I turned back to the oc
Miranda PovTaking a deep breath, I turned to Christabel who was watching me with concern as I was making the call and it seems she knows what is happening, there is nothing to hide anymore, everything is spilled out already, there's nothing hidden. "You are playing games with Edwin, hope it's not what I am thinking, How could you Miranda?" She inquired fuming and glaring at me disgustingly and I held my head not knowing what to reply her because I was stucked at the point, receiving several yellings from different people annoy me as hell. I hate been yelled at her because it makes me feel less of myself."I am just doing this to help Maxwell, His dad mocked him alot and he deserves that first rank atleast once, He has been struggling for that position and I have promised to give him that" I explained but she didn't obliged to what I said not taking it."Then he should work for it,your Boss worked for it why can't he work for it rather than bringing someone's down in order for him to
Edwin POV’sA week later…I walked into the company briskly ignoring all the greetings from my employees. I wasn't in the mood for anything right now, I just wanted to be alone with no one bothering me.The words Miranda said a week ago hit me hard and I couldn't deny the fact that I was still any over what she said till this day.I finally got to my office and I sat down, loosening my neck tie when the door suddenly barged opened and Mr Anderson walked in.“You scumbag! Why do you keep on interfering in all my son's affair huh? Been the top ranking business man isn't enough, now you got his new sign deal to yourself huh?” He yelled and I groaned tiredly.To be sincere I wasn’t in for this. I was damn ashamed over the fact that Maxwell could stoop so slow to involve his father into this, I thought he could fight me square on.“What do you want old man?” I asked and he quickly grabbed me by my collar and my eyes dimmed. The nerve of this bastard.“Let me go! What do you want?” I asked
Miranda's POVI stormed out of the office, breathing rather harshly with no intention of turning back till I got to my desk. Slowly I sank into the swivel chair, thinking back at everything that played in Edwin's office. What did I do..? My limbs were beginning to vibrate but the deed was done.How can I just spit out whatever and get fired? What happens to Maxwell and the project now..? I can't possibly tell Maxwell that Edwin fired me, of course, I know how pathetic that sounds. Staring back at his office door, my eyes were beginning to blaze red, he just can't fire me..! It was hard to believe. I sighed, picking up an empty box and arranging all of my stuff in it. If this is what he wants, then I think there's only one way to do it better. I will make sure he regrets it. With the determination seeping through my vein like adrenaline, in no time, I finished packing.“Going somewhere..?” I heard the moment I turned back and instantly gritted my teeth. “Wait, it's not what I'm thinki
Miranda's POVI stood still, gasping at what I heard but it seemed it wasn't stopping because it took only a minute before another voice spoke. “What would happen when she finds out you don't really love her but instead, you're using her..? Would that not be a problem..?” It was a female voice.“Miranda?” Maxwell chuckled that I had goosebumps on my back. “You know, at some point I thought of it too but then, I can do all things with just a word and she'd go all soft…” He affirmed.“What word would that be?” That female voice asked again in curiosity. In truth, I was also curious even though I could tell how hot and fast my blood was boiling in rage. I also want to know the word he says that makes me go soft.“A five letter word, sorry.” I could read the sarcasm of his words, it made me even more angry. Never would I believe I fell for such an ungrateful bastard but then, I did. The female voice laughed heartily while my intestine churned.“You.. you're quite the joker..” She said in
Miranda's POVI blinked severally but that voice, I was so sure it was Edwin but then, maybe it's just my head, displaying how pathetic I am. I laughed, making the atmosphere more tense than it already was.“You thought I would fall for it if you disguised as Edwin..? You failed, Christabel..” I said, belching afterwards. Indeed there is nothing to hide when you're in a bar, knowing fully well that nobody cares.“Miranda..!” He grumbled, clenching his fist.“Alright, alright. I had only six bottle's but it's not my fault, I promise.” my head was already down on the table with my eyes closed when I answered. I felt Christabel sigh real deep and later on, I felt a pair of hands pick me up in a bridal style. I couldn't tell how she had such muscle but I felt every one of it on my body, the warmth it brought when I'm in her hands that I had to snuggle closer for more. On the other hand, something in my head was telling me that I'm with my boss yet I wasn't ready to protest, falling deep
Edwin's POVAs usual, I didn't respond to any of their greetings since it meant nothing. There was only one person that would have made a scene if she was to greet me but that person is in my bed. I thought of it severally and could only come to a conclusion that, Miranda, though she's thorough, she had drank so much because I sacked her. The thought alone had made my morning.“Good morning sir.. The SLL group would be arriving later at noon to sign up the deal we offered.” My secretary informed and I could only respond be nodding.“What of the project..? When did they say they are coming..?” I asked as we stepped forward till I got to Miranda's desk. She would have been doing all of these if she were to be here. Nothing was left except for the company's computer. Her things were gone.“Did Miranda move all her things already..?” I couldn't help but ask. I fired her only because of what she had said but I never thought she'd do just that and get drunk. That lady..!!“Hmm.. Yes sir. Sh
Miranda's POV“Tell me you're lying right now to my face..” Christabel said with enthusiasm, I don't know why but it irked me.“You should console me that I heard that from my friend” I whispered but she laughed. Yeah, it was indeed funny to the ears that a friend of mine could do that to my face and I didn't punch the hell out of the person.“For real, you're saying Maxwell called you that and you didn't do anything?” She asked again to confirm and I nodded. Accidentally, I had spilled that I spent the night at Edwin's which led me to answer the question why. I mean, Christabel isn't someone that wouldn't ask and she's also a person I can't lie to. I'm an open book before her.“So you need to ignore it because you're ignorant about yourself by getting drunk..?” she asked again, getting at me slowly.“I'm not ignorant Christabel. I only got to hear that crap by chance..” I yelled. Angry because she just told the truth.“Oh really? You think you're not..? I told you Mira, I said that g
