Every night is the same. Same nightmare. Same waking up and crying. Same guilt that has been buried inside ever since. Same tears that ran down his face and cried and screamed. Sebastian was in his bed tossing and turning. He shot up and breathed heavily. “MOM! I’m sorry” he said as he sat up and brought his knees to his chest and cried. His guilt was buried deep but would always come up when he missed his mom. His mom. His rock and strength. This guilt he has been carrying since he was 17. He was so angry at her that she didn’t come to his game. She got in a drunk driving accident and died on the spot. When they told him he felt something died inside him that day. After that, he stopped playing football and got silent and cold. He wished he just understood that his mom was busy. He wishes he had just waited instead of being a brat and cockyThe next day he sat in the meeting. Cold. Ice cold glare looking into the room where everyone was speaking. Usually he’ll be happy but right no
Two Month Earlier"Oh crap! I'm late!" Jasmine, twenty-three-year old, said and ran out of bed and quickly ran to the bathroom to get ready for her job interview which she applied for. Royals Publishing is an agency that deals with billboard publishing and other business. Jasmine has applied for the personal assistant job to work with the CEO. Jasmine quickly got dressed and took up her stuff and ran out to catch the bus but she was late and the bus had left. Jasmine looked at her watch. "Oh, crap the bus already left! what am I going to do?" she asked and sighed and looked at the watch and waited for a taxi and when the taxi came she went in and told the taxi where she was going and the taxi went there.Sebastian, twenty-six-year-old, was getting ready for work. He had already dressed his two-year-old daughter who was in the living room playing with her blocks and in her dress. He went downstairs and went and took her up and went to his car and put her in the car and kissed her cheek
She slid down on the ground and held her chest as she kept on staying ‘Oh No’. She didn't want to fall in love with her boss because she didn’t want a cliche love story. She loved the idea of love but to fall in love with her boss she found that cliche.“I can’t fall for my boss…I CAN’T!” She yelled and went back to work.The next day, Jasmine woke up but was still laying in bed and looking at her ceiling. It was Sunday so the company wasn't open on Sundays unless Sebastian had something important coming up and wanted all hands on deck. Jasmine laid there and turned on her side and side and hugged her pillow and sighed."Why is he acting like that? Doesn't he have a child and wife... God" she mumbled to herself and got up and went to get dressed. She was going out with her friend. She went and got ready. She put on the flowy dress and flat shoes and wore her hair down and packed a small bag and went and called her friend. Her friend answered."Hello?" he asked and was getting ready al
Jasmine was in the cafeteria buying her lunch. It was lunchtime and the employees were in the cafeteria having their lunch and gossiping. She looked around and walked to an empty table and sat down and started to eat. A random male employee went to the table and sat down and looked at her and she looked at him and then looked around."Hey!~," he said in a cheerful voice and looked at her, and started to eat."Hey," she said and smiled and looked at him."I'm Henry and I'm guessing you are Jasmine?" he said and smiled looked at him confused and nodded and looked at her."How do you know my name?" she said and smiled and he ate."Well, everyone knows everyone, especially when you are the PA for Sebastian Rae," he said and smiled and looked at her and ate."Oh, so that his name" she mumbled and ate and looked at him and smiled.They sat there and ate and talked a little and after an hour they both walked to their desk. There at Jasmine stood Sebastian waiting on her. She saw him and look
She looked at him and smiled and sat back down crossing her legs while smiling."Well I came back because my company is moving here and I wanted to see my daughter and you" she said and smiled."Well I don't want to see you and you can see Mia""Mia Rae? huh? I was supposed to be Mrs. Rae" she said and went behind him and massaged his shoulders and he sighed."Yes, once but not anymore" he said and got up and went to pour out some water and looked at her."You were never this cold. But I guess people changed?" she said and put down a container and looked at him and went to sit back down."Yes people change" he said and looked at her and saw the container. "What's that?" he said and looked at her and went to the container."Hmm? Oh, just something that you like" she said and smiled and he went to the container and looked at it and opened the container and saw a pie but not just any pie, it was a Key Lime Pie and a cheesecake, chocolate swirl cheesecake. He looked at her and she smiled.
"Let's Begin," he said and sat down and looked at them and the managers from different publications were there. The managers of the company were older than Sebastian. Sebastian was the youngest there. The older managers didn't like it but they would never dare to voice their hatred towards it so they would just keep it in. Sebastian looked at them and opened the file and they did the same and read through it in silence until one of the Managers spoke."Mr. Rae? Why is Sunrays Estate on the merger?" the old man asked."Because they have shown me the potential in the advertisement and they have a new style that will be able to attract potential clients," he said and looked at him.Sunrays Estate Publishing was a new publishing group with a young manager. Even though they are new some individuals and other publishing groups have made claims that they are stealing designs which led the other groups to sue them and led them into bankruptcy. The older managers of the other groups were happy
Sebastian's Point of View...These are the lessons I have learned in life...It's been two weeks since Jasmine says she wanted to quit. But I am not letting her go that easy since she is the only one who ever looked at me with annoyance. And her ignorance made me feel like I am young again. Some will say I am not that old but has so much work that is turning me into an old man. Being the only sole heir of my father's company I decide that there is more to life than drinking and having 'fun' in university, so my father arranged my marriage with Clover since he wanted me to 'grow up and have responsibilities ever since mom died.But as we get to know each other I grow to love her a year after Mia was born, but she grows to love someone(never trust someone, who turns their backs on their family). She left with her lover during the day and leave Mia at my bed edge at the hospital. I guess that was the first learning in life.After she left my drinking became harder and my father had to
