I took a deep breath as I looked at the skyscraper. It is already three weeks after the new year event. I was given one week to resume my work after the new year celebration.It has been almost a week since I resumed work yet whenever I stepped into this place, it seems I'm stepping into a lion's den. I can't deny the ominous feeling I get whenever I'm inside the building.I'm always nervous, I looked at the tall skyscraper and took a deep with a smile "Remember who is Lina? You have to do this as always." I murmured under my breath before holding my black bag tightly. I walked confidently inside the building."Good morning miss lina." "Good morning miss nona." I greeted the receptionist back with a smile before walking into the elevator.I work on the 47 floors since the building is up to the 58 floors. The elevator was quite empty, and I wondered why. I shrugged my shoulder and pressed the elevator to my floor.I looked at my appearance in the glass mirror in the elevator with a s
"Miss Lina, why are you late?" His masculine golden voice brought me out of my thought. I quickly composed myself and straighten up."I'm sorry sir, I wasn't aware of the meeting...." "I'm sorry for her mistake, she is new here. And as the HOD (head of design.)of her department. Her not being informed about it is also my fault so please spare her once this time sir." Mrs Gina cut me off and took the blame on herself. I was surprised was an understatement of what I felt. I looked at Tracey and I could see a look of surprise flash across her eyes.With the rumour, I heard about her when I came in here. I started doubting whether it was trueEven one within and outside the department knew her as someone who won't take shit and irresponsibility from anyone."I never asked you, Mrs Gina. Miss Lina's attitude has nothing to do with you." My heart beat in its ribcage. I felt...His brown chocolate orb eyes stared back at me intensely."Miss Lina should know the rules of this place as she ha
I watched as he picked it up and smirked: " Hello grandma." His voice was gentle as he said that while looking at me. I leaned back on the swirl chair wondering what I should be doing as he was busy with his call."Grandma, you are back?" His always emotionless voice held unnoticeable excitement in it. His words made me look up and look at him, but unable to hold his long and intent stare even while on phone, I bit my lips and looked away.I wonder what in God's name is wrong with me? Why do I always feel nervous and have unknown emotions? What is this feeling for?"Brian relax, don't bother to pick me up moreover, I'm already on my way to the estate." I looked at him again, this time when I heard the voice of the person on the other side. Her voice seems strangely familiar but regardless, I'm unaware of where I have heard that voice from. I probably didn't hear what she said before now. "Are you going back to the estate? why don't you come and stay with me for a few days? Grandma
I looked out of the window, as the car drove slowly in the busy street of New York City. Even due, it has been a few weeks after the New year celebrations but it still seems we are still celebrating the new year. It was already getting dark and it was snowing.Still clad in my work cloth but this time my black jacket covered my blouse.This city is always busy, unlike London. Which was CoolI couldn't help but remember what Mrs Gamma said in the office. I was never supposed to attract attention. I wanted to give my best in the company but my intention was never to bring unmistakable attention to myself.I knew the gramadi star collection was growing higher. "Due, I'm giving you this project." She looked me in the face and said" to handle but you are not going to be the only one handling it. You will be doing so with two more people. Tarantino and Belle will be your assistants while the three others that will help out, their names will be sent out to you in your email account." I was
The disappointment on Brian's face became apparent after Lina left his office. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fist. Even due, there was an investigation going on but he couldn't help but try to know whether she could remember him or their memories together and that was why he turned on the volume of his phone when his grandmother called.His grandmother was among the few ones that knew about his relationship with her before he left the country for studies.Lina loved his grandma so much. Brian remembered when she always told him that she loved his grandma's sweet voice then.Brian was disappointed when she couldn't recall grandma through her voice.He looked at her face to know whether there will be a little change in her face but it remained emotionless.One of the main reasons, Brian came into the office today was because of her. He was very much obsessed to see her, so much that he made an opportunity and rescheduled his schedule to be able to see her."Sir, the board membe
"Sir, we have arrived." The chauffeur announced. Before anyone could open the door, Brian opened the car and stepped out of the car He inhaled the air which helped to calm his raging heart down.He looked around the mansion and noticed how calm the mansion was.Well, the mansion was never calm especially after his relatives came back, especially his cousins.Immediately he stepped inside the large sitting room. The silent large luxurious sitting room greeted him, surprised, Brian looked around wondering where everyone was.He decided to check the whole house, getting closer to the dining room. Brian heard the sounds of cutleries. He snapped his head towards the sounds.In the whole sitting were sitting almost the whole Wilson family dining together as a humorous family which they were far from being.As if sensing Brian's presence, they snapped their heads towards the intruder.He did not give a second glance at anyone else in the room, since he couldn't see his baby sister. Seeing
"Nana, are you okay?" Evelyn asked for the ninth time since this dinner resumed. I nodded absent-mindedly.Seriously, a lot of things has been going through my mind and honestly, food is the least of my problem. After the call with the strange number. I became more conscious about my surrounding. I was afraid for the first time in five years. I might tolerate anything but not someone taking Fred away from me. He is my life and only family. I don't know whether I can last long without seeing him beside me to shout "Nana" always. Since I answered that call I haven't been myself.I traced the number, I wasn't surprised when I found out that the caller was from Wilson's mansion from what I saw, it is no other one than old grandpa Wilson or grand general.Now someone from the Wilson family. A family which has done nothing but abandoned my sister to die and baby (Fred), causing Amanda's demise. They rose all of a sudden to threaten me to hand Fred over to them, (what a joke.) and I'm begin
While the girl was watching the star and was trying to count them. The young boy was looking at her with an affectionate gaze. After some time, the girl turned towards the boy but with shyness, she looked away seeing the way. She was been stared at."Biggy head, stop staring at me and looked at the sky."The little girl murmured under her breath, her sweet voice echoing in the beautiful night. The young boy smiled and looked at the sky. "The stars are beautiful." Looking at the star. The young boy nodded and agreed."Yeah, they are so beautiful in the dark sky. They are beautiful just like you." He said unconsciously making the young girl blush slightly. Before the young girl could say anything. He continued."They are beautiful, they are so beautiful and give light to the dark sky. The only beautiful thing in the dark sky."The young girl turned and stared at him blankly with her beautiful black eyes which were shining as the full bright moon reflected on her angelic face.The young
