"Tell Ms. Jones to come here." Ms. Dein immediately followed and looked for the department she was in. When she discovered it, she noticed that she was fixing her things while still in tears and that she appeared to be about to leave."You're Ms. Vera Jones, right?" Ms. Dein asked.Vera looked at her in wonder and nodded while wiping her tears."The CEO wants you in his office," she told Ms. Jones before she left because she still had a lot to attend to.People immediately started gossiping when they heard that Vera was being summoned to the CEO's office."The CEO didn't seem to like Vera's actions.""Tsk. She really had the guts to talk back with Mr. Buenavista’s wife.""Deserve!"She heard that a lot of employees were badmouthing her. She just bowed in shame and immediately went out to go to the office of Mr. Buenavista. When she got to the front of the office, she had second thoughts about opening it. What if she got punished because of what she said earlier? She has no idea what a
CHELSEAIt's a beautiful day today. The sky is clear, the sun is not that hot, and another thing is that the touch of the wind on my skin is very cold. Here I am now in the living room, arranging the flowers I picked from the garden earlier. I couldn't do anything else, so I thought that was the only thing to do.As I was getting ready, I noticed someone approaching me, so I immediately looked at them. What are they doing here? Didn't they leave the mansion? What is the scene between these two? I hope they will not pester me anymore. I don't have time to deal with them."Mother, Sofia, you're back." I can see the immediate change in their facial expression. It went from being calm to being agitated. "Stop calling me mother! You are nothing to become my daughter, and you should be ashamed of yourself," she snarled.Here we go again. Redemon's mom is always really mad at me. That's why I don't want to be left here in the mansion with her because she might suddenly have a heart attack o
CHELSEAThe loud sound of the phone woke me up from my deep sleep. I looked at the clock and saw that it was 9 p.m. I forgot to eat dinner when I got home earlier. After Mark bothered me, my best friend Angel suddenly called. She invited me to meet her because she had just returned from the States. We talked for a long time; that's why I got home late to the mansion.I immediately got up from my bed and reached for the phone. Who would call at this time? "Hello?" I answered.I only heard a deafening silence on the other line. Is this a prank? If it's a prank, I'm not in the mood for it. "Hello?" I repeated myself, but still, no one answered."Whoever you are... I'll take it down if you don't say anything," I said before hanging up, but I heard a sob from the other line that made me stop to hang up.I listened to it carefully. It still sobs, and because of the shrillness of its sobs, it appears to be a woman.[.....Sister....] she said on the other line.Maxine? Did I hear correctly?
When Chelsea finished getting dressed, she immediately went to the living room and found Madame Buenavista and Red."Is there anything you can do to speed it up? We're going to be late!" Annoyed Madame Buenavista said.Red immediately looked at his mother, "Late for what? I thought we're going to eat in a restaurant." Red asked in surprise.Madame Buenavista did not answer and immediately left the mansion. Chelsea and Red followed her. When they got out, the car was ready and Kuya Roy was waiting for them."Are we leaving?" Kuya Roy asked and Red nodded in agreement.When they got in the car, the tension between Madame Buenavista and Chelsea are getting intense. Chelsea wondered why the old woman could look at her like that. It seems that she doesn't want to include Chelsea in their agenda for today.Kuya Roy started the engine and drove away. Chelsea was just looking out the window while watching the cars pass by and go by.When she got fed up, she straightened up and looked at Red.
Two days have passed since the incident that happened between Red and Chelsea. It's been two days since they haven’t talked to each other and didn't pay attention even though they were under the same roof. Even at the dinner table, the distance between the two can be noticed. This is also what others in the mansion are wondering about, but they just ignore it because they have no right to interfere.It was a rainy afternoon when Chelsea started to leave the house. She intends to pack lunch for Red even if they are not talking to each other because there is nothing she can do because it is included in her contract as Red Chandler Buenavista's wife. She went outside to look for Kuya Roy to make a delivery to the company but she couldn't find him. She has no other choice but to commute. She went back inside and took the umbrella and lunch to go.When she got outside the gate of the village, she decided to ride a tricycle to the jeepney’s terminal because it would take her longer if she w
CHELSEAI don't know how long I've been staring at the mirror. It's interesting to look at yourself when a dress fits you. When I was satisfied with myself, I immediately left the fitting room, and when I left, I saw Kent sitting on the sofa while waiting.He immediately stood up and came to me. "How is it? Is it okay? I don't know if it suits me... What do you think?" I asked."Beautiful..." he mumbled. Did I hear it right? Does he think I'm beautiful? Is it me or the dress? Maybe I'm just misunderstanding things. Don't assume anything, Chelsea Leigh!I was immediately shaken by my thoughts. "Miss, that's a total of Php. 10,599. Do you have a membership card?" The sales lady smiled at me.Oh, right. I almost forgot that this dress is very expensive. It looks like I'll be saving up for the next few days. "I don't, I'll use my credit card," I said while taking the wallet from my bag.I was immediately surprised by Kent's sudden hold on my hand and his words, "Use mine." He offered me
A kiss made Chelsea stop. It was as if her body was frozen and didn't know what to do. At the same time, her breathing stopped. When she felt that he was moving his lips away, Chelsea slowly opened her eyes. They caught their breath together.CHELSEAI was catching my breath when I felt Redemon move his lips away from me. I don't know what to do next. It was as if I suddenly felt stupid when his lips touched mine. Debilitating and confusing, what are you doing to me, Redemon?"Ehem," he said, and it ended in deafening silence. I immediately looked at him, and our eyes met. I looked away again and composed myself. "If you have nothing more to say, you can go out," I said boldly. Luckily, I didn't stutter."I'm sorry. I didn't mean to kiss you." He said it calmly.I ignored him and went to the clothes he had spread out. I picked them up one by one and put them on my bed. When I got everything, I started to fold it. I fold as if there is no Redemon in front of me right now. I didn't loo
CHELSEAI woke up with sunlight hitting my eyes. I rolled my eyes and changed to the place I was sleeping. I looked at the clock on the wall, 7:12 am. Perfect for cooking breakfast. I'm already here at Angel's condo. After our talk last night in her car, we went straight here to rest. I got up and saw that she was still sleeping soundly in her bed. I was on her sofa because I slept last night. She forced me to sleep with her on the bed, but I was too shy to do that. I'm also a small girl so I slept comfortably on her sofa because it fit me perfectly.When I fixed my bed, I went to the kitchen to look for something to cook. I will cook breakfast so that when Angel wakes up we can eat. I opened the fridge and the tray of eggs opened to me. I took four and checked what was in the freezer, there were hotdogs and nuggets so I took them too.I first scrambled the eggs and fried them. After that, I followed the hotdog and nuggets. When I finished cooking, I checked if there was any rice left
