Whenever I see him, I remember his betrayal, it was more of a betrayal than a break-up.“Wow, since you're his girlfriend, I will give you a discount. Pick any design you like” the lady said."No, thanks,” I said as I kept back the album and left.Before I could get to the door, he grabbed my wrist and pulled me back.“Ouch,” I gasped as I almost fell on him.“What do you think you're doing?“We might have broken up yes, but there is no need for you to act so indifferent toward me”“We are not close and never will be," I said and pushed his hands off.“And stop telling people I was your Ex. We never dated” I said before walking out without looking back.Michael stood quietly looking at me with a hint of regret on his face.“Why did you both break up?” the lady asked.Michael suddenly turned around and gave her a mean look. That look meant she should return to work and mind her business.I felt like going to a soothsayer. I want to know why I was always unlucky. How could I meet Michea
“I want an easy-going job that pays me a lot of money,” I answered.“Yet, you keep trying to get laid off”I looked at the elevator number, hoping it would pass quickly. I didn't want to be trapped with Ethan anymore. We are getting close to the truth.“You wouldn't understand”He nodded without responding, and I was a bit relieved by his silence.I thought the first thing that would happen was to face Sebastian. I wasn't expecting to be led into the secretarial department.I later learned about Nick's dismissal, and I quickly remembered the announcement.Even relatives will not be spared. Sebastian never goes back on his words once his mind is made up.The message was clear.When Wendy saw me, she congratulated me on my return to the secretarial department. I didn't mention anything about my relationship with Sebastian or the reason I was laid off.At noon, I stood at the entrance of the conference room welcoming the top management, also Sebastian. His presence alone intimidated me.
"How did you know all these things? I asked them in surprise. "I heard it from Ethan," one of them answered. "Aren't you scared of being dismissed? I asked about remembering Nick's dismal because of gossip among the employees. "I'm not afraid to gossip with you," she answered. I was shocked to hear her. She obviously thinks I'm some sort of royalty who gets special treatment from the boss. "No one will dare gossip about you because you're being treated differently. It's safe to gossip with you" I was so surprised at their conclusion but I couldn't argue. It was obvious I was getting special treatment. If only they know why. "This is the first time ever that someone was laid off and returned back to their position" Suddenly, my phone rang and I excused myself to take the call. "Hello" "I have picked up the kids. We are on our way home" the nanny said. "Thank you. Please take care of them." "I will. Have you found out how they got there, what happened? She asked. "Not reall
Nothing was more exciting than a steamy session in his office.He squinted at me like he was examining something on my body. His razor-sharp gaze cut through my soul. It was dangerous, terrifying yet thrilling.“For how long were you in a relationship?My breath seized in my throat as I heard his low voice from above.“It was… around six around”I couldn't help but wonder why he wanted to know. He looked as if he was thinking about something. He knew I was the one years ago, he felt it, he felt the way I yielded to him when he first thrust into me.I couldn't figure out what he was thinking. Every second of his silence was like torture to me."Can I stand up, Mr. Donovan? I asked, trembling in fear.He glanced at my face for a while and finally let me go.I quickly stood up. I was a little shaken. I didn't forget to pick up the paper under his feet. Even as I stood meters away from him, I still felt like I had lost control over my body.“You need to learn to behave around your boss. D
Eleanor's POV I grew nervous immediately when I saw Sebastian. I couldn't forget how he treated me in his office a few days ago. I was unable to forget the sensation of his warm breath on my ear.I kept wondering what the top management would think of him when they found out about his other side he hides under this professional and serious demeanor. Will they still happily work for him?As I tried to keep his coffee down, the cup slightly slipped out of my hand and hit the edge of the table. It made a loud noise and some coffee spilled."Ouch, fuck” I mumbled, waiting to be shouted at.The management stopped talking and gave me a stern look. I felt like hitting myself for the mistake.I just get flustered whenever I'm around him.“Why were you so careless, weren't you raised properly? Go and make another one”.While I was about to answer, I heard Sebastian's cold voice.“Learn to mind your business”His finger reached for the handle of the cup. He grabbed it and took a sip.The manag
Eleanor's POV I placed my shopping bag next to my feet and held on to the door handle for support.I was lost looking at people's reflections from the glass panel of the taxi. Everyone was different yet familiar.As I was staring blankly at my reflection, my mind flashed back to what my colleagues said the other day.She is my mother, whom I haven't seen for ten years. Suddenly, she reappeared, I never expected to meet her this way.I never wanted to see her again after the way things ended between us.I remembered how she treated me while growing up. I would swear she doesn't have any iota of love inside her heart, but the way she protected Zoe back there made me overwhelmed with sadness.I clutched my hand tightly around the door handle, and my knuckles and fingertips turned white.When I got home, I sighed and took a deep breath before I opened the door.“I'm home…”“Mummy….” My kids shouted, running towards me.They all wrapped their hands around my legs while Robert climbed on m
Eleanor's POV I looked at Wendy and I clenched my jaw tightly.I kept wondering if I should be grateful for the harmonious environment lately in this secretarial department.However, I'm the only one shouldering all the pain.With all the beautiful ladies in this company trying to sleep with Sebastian Donovan, none of them were ready to deal with his mood.I had no choice but to go to the pantry to prepare his coffee. I thought of adding salt to it, so he would no longer ask me to make his coffee. I searched everywhere but couldn't find any salt.I opened the refrigerator but only saw ice cubes. My mind immediately went to his relationship with his family, and Selene in the picture also made the situation worse.The secrets were beginning to weigh on me and if anyone finds out….I stopped and froze when I noticed Sebastian was standing behind me and looking at me.I gave out a startled cry and moved backward.“Mr. Donovan, what are you doing here? “What are you looking for? He aske
Eleanor's POV I sighed helplessly because I wanted nothing to do with Selene. However, I couldn't hurt the innocent girl who was also a friend to my quadruplets.I had mixed feelings as I looked at her. She was the same age as my kids, how would she be able to understand such a complicated issue at her young age?“Yes, but don't call me sister here in the skyline group, okay? I said.I knew Selene was behind all this, else how could she have known who I was?“Why? Zoe asked with a runny nose. “Let's just say it's a secret between us, okay? “Yes. I want a secret, let's make a pinky promise”.I looked at her chubby hand as age stretched it toward me. Her eyes were bright and shiny, and she somehow looked like my kids.Anyway, it was obvious they are related but to me, though.Zoe felt better after we made the pinky promise and I left quietly, immediately I saw her driving searching for her.It was raining when I got off work. I ran in the rain because I had no umbrella with me.I mad
