MICHIGANThe attendant came inside and dropped the food tray. She noticed the way I was looking at her in annoyance. "Sorry for the delay ma'am," she bowed and left. Good for her! I opened everything and I noticed that even some things that I didn't demand were served to me. "There is a mix up here. This isn't my order." I called their line immediately, "This is the receptionist. How may we help you ma?" "There is a mix up here in my order. What is this with the fruits and chocolates and some other things?""That is your order ma.""Are you saying that I don't know what I told them?" I heard another lady's voice in the background, "Sorry ma'am, someone said we should add those things for you and your bills have been paid.""Huh? Who?" There was no response from them again and I hung up. What is going on? I am confused at this point. Who paid for all these? Why should the person do that? Hmm, I will have to find out because this is strange. I don't know if anyone knew that I
DAMIEN My father is the only one I need to call now because the situation has really gotten out of hand. How can I be given the wrong address twice? They must have kidnapped Clara. I called my father immediately because I needed his help. "Damien, hope there is no problem?" "Dad, there is a big problem.""What happened?" "Clara had an accident and I was informed and given the location of the clinic but I can't find her there. I have gone to the second address given to me and I still can't find her. Please contact the rescue team in case she has been kidnapped." "I will do that right away." In less than seven minutes, the news went viral. It had circulated around the Internet. And I got to find out through the phone calls coming into my phone. A lot of people were calling to know what happened but I refused to pick their calls. Finally, my father called me to tell me where they found her, he gave me the address and I zoomed off with my car. When I got to the hospital, I was su
DAMIENI was one of those guys that looked cute and neat which always attracted girls to me. It was when I knew that it had been a while since I hadn't seen Sandra that I went to see her but they had relocated. Her contract line wasn't reachable either. Gradually, I had to forget her till I entered College. Lucy's parents were average classed and we went to the same college but it became competitive for her to keep me as her boyfriend. There were lots of people that we met. A lot of handsome wealthy guys and lots of pretty ladies too. Lucy kept crying over seeing me with girls. I was so innocent about it till she became toxic and I broke up with her. Back to Sandra, I never met her again till this very moment. I'm Wowed! She works here. Sandra finished checking Clara and was about to leave, and I held her back. "Sandra, I know you still hold grudges against me." "So you still remember my name, Damien." "Of course, why won't I remember your name?" She shoved my hand away from
DAMIEN I can't tell what I felt after seeing Sandra and her achievements. This was supposed to be my bride, but what really happened? After eating at the eatery, I went back to the hospital building. I saw Sandra leaving. I watched how she was giving directions to the nurse that was holding her bag. This is fantastic. I haven't met a hard working lady like this in my entire life. I was unconsciously smiling till her car zoomed off. "Excuse me," I had to stop the nurse. "Don't be offended, is she truly the owner of this hospital?" "Yes, Miss Sandra is the Chief Medical Director." Wow! "Interesting," she didn't respond again. I used my eyes and scanned through the walls of the building. "If she could build this massive hospital, then what would her house look like?" I asked myself. There are really people that can't get intimidated by your money, no matter how much you think you have. I have come to understand that even the president of a country isn't the richest nor the wealt
DAMIEN I was still pointing at the food but my father wasn't responding to me. I looked up and noticed he was staring at a woman but she was busy giving orders. I was also trying to recall the face and I remembered Sandra's mother. Soon, Sandra came from behind calling her mother. "Mom, it's getting late. You need to start going home." Her mother looked up and met my father's eyes. She was shocked but couldn't say a word. Sandra noticed what was happening and excused herself. I cleared my throat. "What do you want, President Flores?" When the ladies beside her heard who she called, all eyes were on my father. He told them what he selected and held me back to our table. I could see the shock on his face. "She works here?" I exhaled deeply, not knowing what to tell him. They didn't waste time and the food was served to him. "Uhm, please, tell that woman that I want to see her." "Okay sir." I looked at my father but he didn't say a word. "Hope the food is nice?"He only no
ARMANDO It has been years now that I haven't been in a relationship. The last one ended in tragedy and since then I have been scared. I was really shattered. Edward was a guy I loved so much. I didn't hide the love I had for him back then in college. He was everything that I wanted in a man. Speaking of the man of my dreams, yes he was and I was ready to make him mine forever. I could remember when we just graduated and we couldn't wait to get jobs. I concluded in my mind that after two years of working just to save up more money, I would take him to the altar. This was actually our wish. People kept asking me if I knew him too well to make him a wife and I wondered why they asked such a question. It breaks my heart but I have to defend him anywhere I go. Edward had never cheated on me. Yes! You heard me right and I was very sure about it. No matter how you try to paint the lie, I will never ever believe it. I remembered when Carolyn visited me in my apartment just before I go
ARMANDO"For Carolyn to suddenly come to your house and talk about a job worth such an amount, I am pretty scared. We all know who she is and what she is capable of doing." "Edward, believe me she is totally harmless.""She has suddenly become harmless because she offered you a job right?" "Please, let's give this a trial. We can't tell if it is actually true." "What if it is not true Armando. What if it's just…?" "Then we forget it but at least I will go and see to be sure and not to just assume with my head." We agreed and I started preparing for the interview. I also noticed that Carolyn never mentioned the name of the CEO and also didn't say if it was a man or a woman. The next day, I jumped out of my bed and went to the washroom to freshen up. I made sure that I was clean. The suit I wore was well ironed by Edward. He helped me to get the things I needed ready prior to that day. My hair cut was neat and I wore my expensive perfume, even though the amount which I bought i
ARMANDOIf I showed Edward the money, he would ask me how I was paid without doing anything. He is very sensitive and he wouldn't believe any story I tell him. When I came out of the office, I saw Carolyn. "How did it go?" I don't even know if I should confront her for what happened. I saw other guys going in and out of an office. "Carolyn, what kind of job is that?" "Why didn't you ask her? How did your interview go in there?" "What do you expect? She said I am not qualified to have a job in the branch here. I will have to go to Asia.""What? Why? Didn't your credentials meet up to the requirements?" "Carolyn, you can go and meet her. I am out of here." I stepped out of the building. I met a guy that just got out of the hotel. "Excuse me, please what interview did you come for?""A job interview to work in the hotel." Hmm, so the hotel was running an interview and I was thinking that we all came for the same thing. I have been deceived. But I would like to know the company
