“Well this is better than having someone bring up the incident, right?” Seeing how Zion was being absent-minded, the secretary figured that Zion might not have the time to fix himself, hence he suggested boldly, “Actually if you’re still worried, we could always ask to meet the delivery guy and talk things out, and the truth will be out in the air.”This time around, Zion did not utter anything but simply raised his hand and signaled at his secretary to leave the office. If his secretary had not been working for him for such a long time, Zion was sure that he would get himself a new secretary. It was already a horrifying experience for a straight guy to accidentally have sex with another man.The secretary did not experience what Zion went through, but he tried to put himself in Zion’s shoes and sympathized with Zion. He nodded his head and left Zion’s room silently, leaving behind Zion who was in agony and misery. It was finally quiet in his office but Zion just could not seem t
Feeling somewhat confused, Zion lowered his head and took a look at the pamphlet. Almost immediately, Zion’s expression turned as dark as the blackboard. He seethed, “What are you trying to imply? That I should take a walk at the hospital since I’m free?”A cold tension slowly grew in the room as Zion looked at the pamphlet about the top-rated hospital. The secretary shivered as he bit the bullet and added, “Actually, aside from allowing us to take a walk at the hospital, Manager, this hospital is well-known for respecting the confidentiality of their patient’s personal information. Hence a lot of celebrities go to them.”During the entire afternoon where he did not see Zion, the secretary did careful research on the hospitals around the town and finally found this hospital that prioritized the confidentiality of their patient’s personal information. Carefully choosing his words, he then tried to remind Zion, “Manager, I heard that there is a high risk of getting AIDS between guys, w
“I can’t recall,” the girl sounded like she was in despair, “I don’t remember what I drank that caused me to blackout. By the time I regained my consciousness, it was already the next morning and I quickly got myself out of there, I don’t even know what the person looked like.”The police felt bad for what the girl went through but for the sake of solving the case, he insisted, “Well, would you mind describing what happened that night? The more details that you can tell us, the better it is for us.”Zion, who was on the other side, eavesdropped on their conversation. He suddenly felt as if he had his heart in his mouth. Feeling startled, he thought to himself that he might be able to get answers through them. “Yeah, I’ll try my best,” As the girl desperately wanted the case to be solved, she tried to push her fear and pain aside as she tried to slowly recall what happened that day. “On that day, I was supposed to meet with my friends at the bar to celebrate the fact that I passed t
However, that was not the time for him to be agonizing over these small details. Zion secretly followed behind the lady and the police. Upon seeing them getting into the police car, Zion hurriedly got into his car and followed them closely. The lady completed a full body check-up and also had a consulting session with the psychiatrist regarding the trauma she experienced. As for the rest, she followed the police to the station to help out with the investigation. If Zion was really involved in the incident, he might be cuffed by the police that night.At the thought of that, Zion was not afraid as it was only right for him to be punished for the mistakes that he made. He was simply worried that he would not be able to make up for his mistakes.The lady was stuck in the police station for quite some time. With a glass of warm water in her hands, she gave her statements regarding the incident that night and after going through the details, she finally put down her signature on the wit
In the shortest amount of time, Zion tried to phrase his sentence and replied, “I’m from the Remington Group and I’m here to meet the intern that was accepted recently, but I can’t recall the address of her place.”Upon hearing this, the girl’s eyes lit up. “You mean the Remington Group? You’re paying this much attention to just a mere intern?”“That’s a given.”“I applied for the position at the Remington Group!” the girl’s mood immediately brightened up as she introduced herself, “I’m Madison and I’m graduating soon as a senior in my college. I’ve applied for the intern position at your company and I’ve heard back from them recently. If all goes well, I might be able to start in two days.”After saying that, the girl suddenly got all upset again as she was reminded of the case that was still unsolved. She did not know what she should be focusing on as of now.Meanwhile, Zion was quite confident that he figured out who he spent a night with the other day. Seeing how Madison looke
“You should still be careful,” Estelle had more to say but Skyler was already walking over to her with a bowl of soup prepared by Aunt Frances. Hence, she said her goodbyes to Paige and ended the call.After talking to Estelle and getting her support and reassurance, Paige’s mood got even better. After lunch, she left her room and thought of walking around the office to help ease her digestion. Perhaps because she did not exercise lately, Paige felt her tummy upset for the past two days. Coincidentally, some of the employees shared the same thoughts as her. As Paige got to the terrace at the end of the corridor, she saw two female staff already there.Paige instinctively thought of changing to another spot but she overheard something that stopped her in her steps. “Say, why do you think Manager Zion suddenly had a change of heart when he’s been single for so long? If I knew this would happen, I would’ve tried harder, and who knows, I might have been that person.”The female staff
As she said those words, Paige raised one of her brows and looked toward the intern as if she subtly teased Zion for having an office romance.“Well, not as much as compared to you. I mean, the debt collectors are still lingering around at the main entrance, but you still seem to have the time to be roaming around,” Zion simply treated her as one of the employees who wanted to watch the fun. Hence, he did not think too much about it. With the coffee mug in his hands, Zion passed by her and headed toward the pantry.Paige silently let out a sigh of relief as she thought to herself that it might be a good idea for Zion to be in an office romance as he would get distracted. She guessed that Zion would leave her alone for the time being.She could not help but take another look at the female intern and coincidentally, the intern looked at her too. Both of them exchanged glances and got all awkward. In the end, the intern looked away and went out of Zion’s office to return to her worksta
The first person that she thought of was, of course, Zion. She roamed out of her office to look for Zion. She scanned around and realized that Zion was nowhere to be seen. Paige thought that he might have already left the office and her plan to lend his phone failed.A gentle voice called out to her suddenly, “Director Fabian, are you looking for the Managing Director? He just went out for a meeting, and I guess it’ll be sometime before he returns.”It was Zion’s newly recruited intern. She sounded soft and polite. “Oh? Meeting? Why didn’t I know about it?” Paige was taken aback as she thought that Zion was behaviorsidelining her. Zion may be excluding her from meetings and perhaps after a few days, he might even be forging her signature and kicking her out of the company.The intern just started working and it was obvious that she did not know of the drama that went on in the company. She then simply answered, “It’s a short meeting that was requested by the department heads. I th
