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
Miranda's POVI didn't inform Christabel about my resume, not while she's still angry. She could rain a curse instead of a blessing. From outside our apartment, I called for a cab and soon, it came.On getting to work, I inhaled heavily, my heart thudding very fast in my body but the adrenaline was far greater. This is a new beginning, a new change should be seen. I stood outside the company, looking at the entire exterior and gaping real loud. I never had the chance to appreciate it before because I was overwhelmed to help out an ungrateful friend of mine.Stepping into the company, I went straight to Zyra's desk with a big smile. She has proven to be different from my judgment. She's not bad.“Good morning to you, Zyra,” I greeted, beaming at her.“Thank God you're here. I have almost become the personal assistant of the day. How do you do it..?” She asked, beaming beautifully back at me.“Just a little practice here and there.” I informed.“I see.. your box is back to where it belo
Edwin's POVThe car kept pressing forward after our flight. One at my front, the other at the back, it's a warfront where every discovery is discovered.“Boss, you need to see this..” One of my most trusted said, handing a file in my hand. I collected it from him, calm and nonchalant. There's nothing better than talking to someone you badly want to hear her voice even if it was for a minute.“What is it about..?” I asked, staring at the file that I'm yet to open.“We found it in the hold of the captive and thought you should check it out before getting there. Something about it could help,” He said, I smirked.The entire ride grew silent again and I took the due to open the file. Nothing was on the first page, and the second, and third. They were blank, I frowned. I looked at the person that gave me the file but then, he's one of my most trusted. No one would give me this if they've opened it before but it seems I opened it first.“Bastard..!” I mumbled, still checking through the boo
Miranda's POVAfter the call I had with Maxwell, I felt used and dirty. My head felt heavy but then, I felt accomplished. Every word that I uttered to him, every exchange was what I had practiced to say on a good day but now, it came out fluently.Never did the thought that I would come to drift apart from my long time friend click in my head. Although, Christabel advice on countless occasions that I end things with him.. I would still go back to look for a reason why I shouldn't. He has done a lot more harm than good. All along, I was only merely a tool and not the friend I thought myself to be and he made sure to use me to his satisfaction. Well, I can remember the saying that old things are passed away.. while all things would become new.To hell with the memories I thought we made, to hell with the ones I thought we're yet to make. I was still in my thoughts when Zyra came to my desk looking all worried only to bang the desk and wake me up from my thoughts.“We work at the company
Edwin's POVBack in California, the night breeze was cold compared to what I had expected. I was carrying that aura I so much dread with the file still in my hands. Rendered speechless.“I should drop you home, Boss..?” The voice of my chauffeur rang in the silenced car but I nodded in negativity.“Take me to the company,” I said, looking out through the window of the car. “There's more to be taking care of.” I mumbled. My fist clenched in a time tight ball and I felt the need to run my hand in my hair.Just how did it all get to this point..? How come I don't know..? “Miranda” I called again for the upteenth time, breathing rather impatiently by the seconds. I want to see her, to hear things from her.That lady; oh gracious goodness. I shouldn't conclude yet, she might be a different person. I hoped.“We are here,” The chauffeur informed me and I got down, following the underground garage to get to the CEO's elevator. And by the time I got to my office, Miranda was there.It looked l
Miranda's POVIt becomes easier when there's no interest in negative thoughts. The SLL group finally signed the contract and became a team with us. Everything was going just as expected but then, the sound of a knock on my desk drew me back to life and almost immediately, I frowned.“Did I disturb our newly found representative..?” I could tell of the sarcasm beneath the voice. I looked up only to find the company's manager, staring back at me.“I am so sorry…” I pleaded, immediately getting on my feet.He looked more like a person that wouldn't want a no for an answer. Almost carrying Edwin's aura but then, there's something spectacular about Edwin's that this young man here doesn't have. Shit..! Why do I think of him?“No need to be. I just wanted to see the new representative of the company that has been able to pull my brother's attention. It turned out to be you,” He continued. I couldn't help but scrutinize my eyes. He's Edwin's brother..? It was confusing but somehow, it wasn'
Miranda's POV“Mr Alex..?” I called, shocked to the bone that he was there or might have been there but he seemed calm.“Hi, representative. '' He greeted me, smiling awkwardly at me.“What are you.. I mean” I stuttered, finding it hard to ask a question that bugged my entire being.“You mean?” he scrutinize his eyes at me for a while, coming closer than expected till he let out a hearty chuckle that had my biting on my lips in embarrassment.“I came to see my brother that's always locked indoors, instead I came face to face with his personal assistant.. that works just fine for me. It means he isn't just indoors doing nothing..” He ranted.“Oh, that..” I said back, feeling how hot my cheek is, I can tell they're a tomato red already. He chuckled again and this time, tucked my hair to my ears to have a better view at my already colored face, shit..!“Alright, let's go shall we?” he asked and didn't wait for an answer when he pulled me by my hand.All eyes turned in our direction, th
Edwin's POVI stepped into the office the next day, and as usual, they all greeted me but I didn't care to answer. They bowed till I'm out of sight, yet, there's this particular one I can't get to submit to me.I found out Miranda was that same girl I used to be closer to, since I found she worked for Maxwell and quit because she suddenly began to care… I became obsessed. I walked past several of my employees till I got to Miranda's desk, she's there, also greeting and bowing like the rest.One moment, I stopped in my tracks and it felt like my whole body became hot and stiff. Shit.. I remembered all that transpired between us, the conversation we had before. I couldn't help it. The energy that was sipping through was that of anger. I wanted to know, to understand and become closer but I guess she likes both of my brother's and would work with them to get to me.How greedy! Being involved with three brothers that were constantly backstabbing themselves. She's going to get the project
