Rebecca's POV“Here is where we normally have our lunch, Rebecca. The company always provides us with lunch, but it is allowed if you want to go outside to a nice restaurant to have your lunch. No one will ask you as long as you don't come back late.” Olivia said to me as she showed me a seat.The place was huge and it was self-service. The food was delicious too and since it was for free, there is not a chance I will leave it to go and eat elsewhere. I will not spend my money during lunchtime, and that was a good thing.“This office is good, Olivia, and I love it already.” I say while still enjoying my meal. It seems I was so hungry and I had not noticed it.“I have worked here for over three years now and I love this place. The salary never delays, and we are treated really well. The boss is good, except for his son, who is always moody. The good thing is that he doesn't come here too often.” She said to me,“Ooh! I see. Then it's a good thing if he doesn't come here too often.” I sa
Rebecca's POVOn Saturday, since we were working for half a day, we started the preparations in the afternoon. All the workers participated, and the manager was the one who was supervising. My duty was cleaning the floor, and I noticed that Olivia was given the same task as me. I was glad, I was getting along really well with her and I liked her already. I had studied her and I had seen she was a good person."Hey girl, let us hurry, so we will finish this soon and start heading home.” She said to me, Since the place was being cleaned every day, it was clean. We only had to pass our mopers over it to remove today's dust.At around 4:00 pm the place was clean, and it was already decorated. It looked beautiful, and it was ready for the party. I was glad I had participated. I felt like I fit in this place. It was the same as my previous job. All workers were united, and that is why we did all this work in just a short period of time.“Where do you live.” Olivia asked me when we were abou
Rebecca’s POVThe day for the birthday is here. And I had woken up late today since I did not feel like going to work. I wanted this day to end already. I hated parties, and I hated this one too. I literally dragged myself to the shower.Olivia had managed to get me the house and all I had to do was to arrange my things, so I could move already. I realized the rent there was somehow cheaper than where I was living, and I was glad Olivia had shown it to me. Since I was getting along well with her, it will be really nice to live close to her. I will never lack someone to talk to when I am bored.I took a quick shower since I was getting late already. Even if I did not feel like going to work today, I had to wear some impressive outfit. I had to look beautiful today, unlike the other days. I did not feel like going to the party, but my heart eagerly wanted to see the boss' son. I have to see whether he is handsome or not. Considering how people say he is arrogant, I know he must be really
Rebecca’s POV“How do you feel now?” Olivia asks me about twenty minutes after taking the medicine she had given me.“I feel relieved, thank you.” I said to her, My stomach was now better, and I was sure I will manage throughout the party.It was already 4:00 and the party was beginning any moment now. I could tell the party mood was already here. Everyone was switching off their computers. I had switched mine off already, I think about five minutes ago, and I was ready for the party. I don’t know where all this anxiety came from, but I was glad I had gained some mood for the party. My stomach was all better now, and I hoped the rest of the day would turn out good for me.“Let’s go, my friend, everyone is gathering in the hall. The party is here already.” Olivia said, dragging me out of the office. The music had already started playing. I felt nervous. My fear of parties was just not over, but I encouraged myself.“Take it easy on me, girl.” I said to her, smiling. She was so rushing,
Rebecca's POVI was glad the party went on smoothly on my part. Actually, this was the first time I had not felt nervous, and it was a good thing on my part. I truly enjoyed this day, starting with the food, drinks, music, and the dancing.The last part of the party was dancing, and I danced with Olivia. She was good, not like me. But either way, we enjoyed the moment. Austin was dancing too, but with his father. He was actually good, and I could not stop staring at him. His body just made me feel like butterflies were running into my stomach, and I pictured him and me dancing. The feeling was really nice.People were leaving now, and I was ready to go. The party was good on my side. Actually, it was the best, and I was so happy I had enjoyed it to the fullest. Thanks to Olivia, I had the best time of my life after all these four years of frustrations and fear.“See you tomorrow, girl.” Olivia said to me. I could see that she was exhausted. I was tired too, and I just wanted to get hom
Rebecca's POVJust like usual days I had set my alarm ready. But after it had rung, I just wanted to sleep even more. I hoped Austin won’t come to work today. Since our last night encounter, I have felt so nervous, and I just don’t want to face him right now.Even though it was a must to be at work since there was nothing wrong with my health. I just have to be bold enough in case I cross paths with him today.I was glad when I got into the office, and he was not there. So, I comfortably went into my workstation and started working right away. I loved this job, and there was no way I would lose interest in it because of some mere quarrel with Austin. I could not allow that.“Miss. Rebecca, the boss needs you right away.” One of my workmates alerted me. Since I started working here, there is no day the boss called me to his office and this was strange. I had never had a quarrel with him, and I just wondered what he needed from me. It felt so strange, but he was my boss, and he had the
Austin's POVSince I met her last night, my entire mind has been on her. I don’t even know her name. But I know with my looks I will easily get her. That is what I have been doing with all the girls who come my way. In fact, they were the ones falling for me, and I easily gave them what they wanted from me.Since I was done with high school, I have never had a girlfriend. I would rather not commit to a relationship I did not want. All I wanted was to enjoy life with these pretty girls out here, and that was why I was with a different girl every time.In the morning, when I got to the office, I went ahead to my father's office and searched the files for her name. Since every name had a picture, it was not hard for me to find her. “Rebecca, so that is her beautiful name.” I said, smiling broadly. I knew I would have her anytime I wanted her now, and I was sure she would not reject me. I sent for her, and she came almost immediately. She knocked twice I think before telling her to come
Rebecca's POVI can't believe if Austin is the one who has just asked for my forgiveness. I thought he was satisfied with what he had done to me. But I guess I made him feel the other way around, 'ashamed' of his actions. That was a good sign that he was still a good person deep down in his heart, even though he tried to cover that good side with arrogance and rudeness.I just decided to forgive him because even when I tried to report him, nothing will be done and on top I might even get fired. So, there is no need to continue being angry.I returned to the office and since working hours were over, I got my purse, so I could get out of here and just go home. This had been a terrible day for me and I just wanted it to end, so I could just forget about it.“See you tomorrow, Olivia. Thanks, too, for today, you are really a good friend. I appreciate it so much.” I said to her, “Don't worry. Girls are supposed to look after each other.” She said, as she was also leaving. I wanted to tell
