Quit
I went to work a little late today because of the traffic only to found an empty desk. It’s been two days since Flora last went to work and I’ve been doing all of the work. I don’t know if this is great or not because silence is making me scary and right now it’s really silent.
I put my bag on the table and when I was settled I started working, while doing that I notice Arthur enter dad’s office. He stop and made a little eye contact before going in the office. I bit my lips and try to concentrate on my work instead.
I’m never going to get used at his stares because when I look at it I feel like he’s saying something by just looking. I also wanted to ask if he has any contact with Flora but I stop myself from doing so because I have to stay away.
“Good morning.” I look at mom confuse when she smil
26Hi?“Are you two sleeping behind my back?” Arthur asked that made Nathan choke.“Hey! The beer is going out in your nose.” I said stopping myself not to laugh.He gave me a deadly look before running to the kitchen, leaving me and Nathan in the living room. I look at him and there’s no reaction on his face that made me nervous.“Answer me.” He said still standing.“No, we’re not sleeping together. I just visited for a drink.” I said and consciously cover my legs using a throw pillow. “What are you doing here?”“Visiting my friend that’s now apparently your friend now.” He said and sit beside me and I move to the side consciously. “I didn’t know you kiss your friends.”I pouted and look away. He get himself a beer that’s on the table at the same time Nathan return. Thank god because I can’t last anymore minute alone with Arthur.Nathan gulp before sitting on the seat in front of us. “I didn’t know you were visiting. You could’ve told me.” Nathan said and continue to drink like this
27SideI stop from holding her and watch how she cry in pain while hitting me. “It’s true. That’s why you’re miserable.” I said while her hit become weak.“We love each other, he’s just confuse because you’re poisoning his mind! You don’t know our story and you will never experience the love that he made me feel.” She said that made my heart break.”You’re right, I will never experience that love from him because his love for you is shallow that’s why he didn’t have any second thoughts on sleeping with me.” I said.“How dare you? You’re the mistress, Emily. Remember that because it looks like you have forgotten about it. You should be the one who’s ashamed because you broke a prefect married couple.”“Hold on. You’re hallucinating.” I scoff and hold her hand and pushed it to her. “Your marriage is not perfect because if it was perfect Arthur wouldn’t have been seduced by me no matter how hard I try.” I said. “Plus, I didn’t know he was married the first time I slept with him. You sho
28HellI feel nervous, but it doesn’t show in my face. Especially that I’m walking towards the company with the intimidating guards on my side. They towered over people that made them catch our attention. This is my way of hiding... from Arthur.He can’t near me now that I have this men by my side. How funny because for so long that I’ve been hating them I finally got to use them. My mom specially order this because she knows the moment that Arthur near me I’m done.When I enter our floor, I got a new desk… no an office besides dad. He finally put me in the position where I can lead and I can’t be more happy because finally I got acknowledged by my hard work and passion.“Miss Emily. You have a meeting in 10 minutes, in the conference room together with your dad.” I smile at my secretary and nodded.I’m sitting on my chair while admiring my office. It has a nice view too and it’s spacious. I think I can last a day here. There’s no distraction from the outside and most especially I do
29AngryJust like I expected. I sigh and get off my bed. Arthur left just as I expected, at least I anticipated this… but it still hurt more than I thought it would.I went to the company and mom is already there. Last night when I couldn’t sleep I decided to text her about her offer and I said yes.She’s looking very excited right now, and even though it hurts my heart that I’m the one who’s adjust and leave the company this is still okay, at least I will get to spend time with my mom.“Mom.” I hugged her.“It’s good to see you.” She said.“You always see me, mom and you will when I move near your office.” I said that made her giggle.“Me too. I already told my secretary to ready your office. Just tell me what you want and I will work on it.” I nodded.We’re attending another meeting that apparently Arthur is a part of. I promise myself not to think about him the entire time but not now that he’s teasing me.He keeps asking for my opinion and it’s making me angry. I feel like he’s m
30Vacation“Do you guys hang out like this?” Alex asked while we buy some foods to take.“Hmm, nope. This is the first time that we’re buying something to take in the travel.” I answered truthfully.We always travel separately or sometimes by air so we really don’t take food with us as we can buy it when we arrive at our destination.“Wow, rich people are different when going into vacation.” I shook my head when he said that, I just recently found out that he’s one of mom’s secretary.I can’t believe she set me up to him. He must’ve something in him that mom saw for her to do such things.“I can’t believe, we’re finally going together with Emily.” Amy said as we all entered the van that we’re all be using.I laugh at her and shook my head. I always decline whether they plan on taking vacation but now I need this. I need energy and I need good things in my life because lately it has been chaotic and I don’t even want to think about those things.“You rarely go to vacation?” Alex asked
31Stares“Are you okay? You’ve been silent since earlier.” Alexis said.We’re all going back to our room as my friends are really drunk especially Jessie that made me think why because she has a high tolerance.“I’m fine, just tired. We’ve done many activities since we arrive.” I said that he believed.After my encounter with Arthur I left him there. I still can’t believe I let him go after what I’ve been through but I guess that’s the right thing to do because it’s the truth that I’m the other woman and even though I want him for myself I know he still loves Flora and they’re meant for each other.**The few days were not as wild as the first day. It was more of relaxing and just chill days with friends. So, now that we’re going home I can’t help but think what will happen to me now. Do I continue getting to know Alexis? I actually don’t know what will happen to me for the first time in a while.I always know what I want but right now I’m lost and I’m scared for me because what if I
32Articles“What are you doing here?” Mom massage her temple when I open the door for her. “Emily, I almost went crazy trying to figure out where you are.” She said and sit on the living room.I sigh and went to the kitchen to give her water. “I’m sorry, I just want to be alone.” I said and gave her the water.“What if something happen to you? The medias are going crazy and we don’t even know how to calm down.” She said after drinking the water and putting it in the table.I sit by her side and hug her to the side. “I’m fine mom. I just want to escape for a moment.” I whispered while she kissed my hair.“Why don’t you go abroad? I think it’s better that they won’t see you and they might forget about it and move on.” She said and I immediately shake my head.“Mom, I already told you that I don’t want to go abroad. Plus, if the news didn’t broke I would’ve move on from Arthur and continue my life like he didn’t happen but, he just won’t let me escape.” I said.“Then what are you plann
33ChaoticLast night, I did some thinking and I think Flora is ready to fight me. No, the fight is already starting and I can’t go down like this especially that this is what she wants for me to stay silent for people to think of her a victim.Yes, in some point she’s a victim but why is she only attacking me? She did things to that hurt their marriage, why didn’t she mention that? To make me the bad guy and to make it seem that I’m the one who broke their marriage but the truth is it was already broken and I know that. She just doesn’t know that I saw them at the parking lot that time when I wasn’t in an agreement with Arthur.People are already assuming I’m the worst because what’s worse than being a mistress, right? But they haven’t seen me in my best. So I decided to show up at work today like nothing happen. I smirk as I think of the married couple’s reaction.After using me, Arthur wants me gone and that’s the case for his wife too. She even tainted his name just to get rid of
