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
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
