Pamela:
After Mia slammed the door, I locked it and turned around, my back to the door, taking deep breaths and closing my eyes."Mr. Markinson wants to meet you today at the party because he couldn't yesterday!" Mia yelled as she walked away.I opened my eyes to find Royal staring at my naked body."Do not do that!" I screamed.Then he turned around, and I walked over to the bed, yanked the duvet off the bed, and wrapped it around my body. I then removed his shirt. "Here," I said, and he turned around to take it."Get yourself together and get out!" I turned away, my arms crossed across my chest.Then he scoffed and got out of bed. When he went into the bathroom, I threw myself face down on the bed and yelled into the sheets. I despised my life at the time, and the memory of last night made my stomach knot with disgust. Instead of butterflies, I felt like maggots were scurrying around in my stomach.I probably should fire him, I thought to myself as I got out of bed.He should have known better; I was drunk, and he could have stopped me, but he took advantage of me.I paced around the room, contemplating the best way to get rid of Royal. The voices in my head became more pronounced, filling the entire room and making it difficult for me to concentrate on anything."Ms. Pamela, I need to tell you something," Royal said, and I gasped."You're fired!" I blurted out without thinking twice and turned around to face him."What?" he asked, his eyes widening…********White and gold flowers were used to decorate the hall. Massive chandeliers hung from the ceiling. Mia went out of her way for me, with a tall wine tower and an alluring cake statue of me in the center.We hadn't discussed what she saw earlier, and I'm glad she didn't bring it up. I felt bad about firing Royal, but I thought it was best for us; after all, how could I address the crowd at work knowing he had seen me butt naked?"Miss Pamela Williams, soon to be Mrs. Pamela......." My mother's voice echoed from behind me.When I turned around, her arms were wide open, her lips were raised, and her brows were drawn to the center. She was as lovely as I remembered. Her gray hairs had sprouted more, and while she was insecure about them, they only made her look like an aging fine wine.I ignored the fact that she expected me to finish her sentence with my fiancé's name; all I did was bury my face on her chest while she patted my back. I fought back tears as the scent of her Cherry Blossom perfume filled my nostrils. "I'm proud of you, my dear," my mother said, gently patting my hair.I drew back and gave her a faint smile."All of you!" As my mother took my hands, the M.C yelled and I swallowed hard.The warmth of her hand made me feel sad rather than safe, and my hands trembled as we walked to the front of the hall. It was time for me to make my opening remarks and introduce my fiancé to the entire family."Mum," I said softly, gently grabbing her arm to stop her. She came to a halt and looked me in the eyes."Don't be nervous, my child; your entire family is proud of you. "You are surrounded by nothing but pure love from your family and close friends," she gently stroked my cheeks."Come on, we need to see this young man in the flesh," she said, taking my hand again."Ms. Pamela Williams, please," the MC said before leaving the pulpit to assist me in ascending the stage.With a smile on her lips, my mother handed me over to him, and she clapped along with everyone else in the hall as I strode up the short flight of stairs that led to the stage.You got this, I told myself.My heart became heavy as I approached the pulpit in the center of the stage and my eyes darted across the room, seeing my close friends and family. As the cloak of disappointment hung over me, I suddenly lost my speech cognizance and just stared at them without saying anything."MS. Pamela," The M.c said in my ear, and I snapped out of it."I'm sorry," I said, forcing a smile up my cheeks. Then I cleared my throat and started speaking."Good evening to all. Friends and family, as you are all aware, it is my birthday," I said shyly."And the day I present the man I'm supposed to marry..." I mumbled the word "marry" and then laughed, but the hall fell silent.Then I turned to the right, where my mother was standing, and saw that her smile had faded and Mia had her hand resting on her brow. I was definitely embarrassed. Fuck you, Liam, I thought to myself."To be honest, I'd love to show you my fiancé, but..." I was about to finish when I turned around to face the crowd and saw Liam standing in flesh and blood with his alleged wife.How dare he? Hasn't he done enough? "Can someone please tell me who the fuck let this man in here?" I yelled the moment our eyes locked.Everyone turned to look at him right away. Then he tightened his grip on his wife and whispered into her ears.“Mia! Security! "Someone get him the fuck out of here," I yelled into the mic, and everyone murmured.My rage had grown to the point where I could no longer contain it. I walked down the stage, not caring if I broke a nail or two."Will someone please explain what the hell is going on?" My mother rushed up to me and asked."Oh, mama, you're about to find out," I said, knotting my hair and removing my heels."Ms. Pam Pam," Mia said, trying to stop me."You'd better stay out of this one, Mia; keep your advice to the office," I said as I entered the crowd.Liam kept a straight face in front of his wife and remained silent as he watched me rant publicly. I was aware that people were watching and possibly recording, but I didn't care because I was going to smack his cheating life.I was about to throw a punch in Liam's face when I heard Royal's voice."I'm sorry I'm late," he apologized, and I stopped dead in my tracks to see him by the door properly dressed in a high-class suit with flowers in his hand.He approached me, wrapped his hands around my waist, and then pressed his lips against mine…Pamela:Royal kissed me breathlessly in front of a few of my family and friends, most notably my foe Liam. With a smirk on his face, he pulled away. He handed me the flower and planted a kiss on my cheeks, instantly making them flush.I was still speechless, my jaw agape, when he got down on one knee and pulled out a blue box that glittered beneath the hall's lighting. My heart was pounding faster than ever, so I swallowed hard and nibbled on my lower lips.What on earth did he think he was doing? I know he was trying to help me, but this was ridiculous.?"Royal…st…" I couldn't even form a sentence before he said the words "Will you marry me, Pamela Riles?" He inquired, opening the box to reveal the finest diamond ring I had ever seen.When I saw it, my eyes widened because I knew it had to be expensive. I was taken aback, not because of the drama he displayed, but because he could afford it.Who was this man? As I looked at him, I wondered."Say it!" Everyone was chanting.I returne
Pamela:When I looked at Liam, I literally felt my heartbeat stop. His fingers twitched and his breathing was shallow. Tears pricked my eyes and began to fall. The tears in my eyes were not sad, but rather joyful. But everything Royal did still made no sense to me."What made you do it?" Looking back at Royal, I inquired. Then the smile on his face slipped immediately."Why are you crying?" He reached for my cheeks, but I pushed him away.Then a big grin appeared on my face, and I burst out laughing, turning Royal's expression into one of awe."Pamela, are you all right?" He inquired, reaching for my shoulder. I turned to face him, laughing and gently hitting his chest with my fist."I've never felt better in my life," I said, looking him in the eyes."But why?" I inquired once more.He still hadn't responded, and I suspected he was hiding something."Pamela, I'm going to get right to the point. I need you in my life, "he said, pulling me close to his chest."I... I... don't understan
Pamela: Shock was an understatement when I saw Charles sitting majestically on his rotating chair before me. When did these all happened? My mouth opened like a fish gasping for air out of the water “Pamela?”he called, I could see the shock written all over his face, and I knew I was the last person he is expecting to see here, likewise me.I thought about turning around and walking out of his office to save the last dignity in me but I couldn’t do it. I remembered the contract I signed with Royal and the whole fake engagement drama. “Cha..Charles”I was unable to form a complete sentence, I’m such a looser. He let out a boisterous laughter, one which said "who's laughing now," and he looked at me with amusement “This is something so unexpected, I never guessed I will see you in my company looking for a job”Charles said with a smirk on his face. I never believed it either. At the moment, I was too stunned to talk—I could barely form any meaningful words from my mouth “Pamela Ril
Pamela: Morning came faster than I expected, I sighed, standing up from my bed yawning. I suddenly remembered I’m supposed to start work today and my yarning got stuck in my throat. Before I could stand up from my bed, the door suddenly opened and Royal walked into my room. “I know it’s your house but have a little bit of manner and knock next time”I said and he gave off a short laugh with a half smile on his face."It's not funny. I mean I could have been naked," I said to him, crossing my arms to my chest with creased brows."A great sight to behold then," he said, and I frowned more.“Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning, right?”he asked and I huffed standing up“I should go get ready, today is a big day”I said and started making my way towards my bathroom “Yeah, we should have breakfast together. The chef is rounding up”Royal said before I walked into the bathroomI turned on the shower and exhaled deeply as the droplets of water crashed down on my body. It
Pamela: I was too dumb to talk.Charles sending me out again to get another coffee across the street is his plan to make me feel bad. It was working but I won't let him break me easily.I feel so drained from all the walking and my legs are so sore from the heels I'm wearing. Tears welled up in my eyes but I'm not about crying in front of him, I couldn't lose the last ounce of respect and pride in me.I look at him with rage radiating from my body. My temper rose to the peak but Charles choose to ignore me, his focus was on his laptop. I left his office making sure to bang the door on my way out and I heard him scream my name. "Miss Riles!"I heard him call and I squeeze my eyes shut and clasped my hands so hard that my knuckles started turning white.Anything further could actually draw blood from my hands. I went back into his office "Do you know how much that door costs? I'm sure your monthly salary couldn't afford it. be careful with expensive things, Nd you are dismissed,"
Pamela: The day finally came to an end after Charles decided to make me the errand girl instead of a secretary. I feel so drained and tired. My body is sore all over and I’m not sure I can do this anymore. I grabbed my bags and knocked on his door, wanting to tell him before I leave the premises “I will be going home”I said and he rose his head up from his laptop. He looked like a workaholic and I don’t care. “Okay”he said, focusing on his work. I stood there not knowing what to do, should I apologize for everything that happened or I should play dumb “I’m sorry”I suddenly blurted out.“What?”he said standing up.“I’m sorry for everything that happened back then, I’m sorry for the pains I caused you”I said and he cackled.“You’re sorry?”he asked and cackled louder “your laugh still haunts my smile and forces me to grim like pain forces tears to fall”he said with a hardened expression.“You know what! Get out of my office. If it meant something to you then why didn't you reach out
Pamela: It’s another beautiful day. I hope my day at work is as beautiful as the day, I flustered my eyes open and I saw Royal sleeping beside me.He looked so peaceful and gentle. I moved away from him and his hand on my body dropped Yawning, I headed to the bathroom to brush my teeth and take my bath. I stood in front of my wardrobe thinking about what to wear. Charles complained about what I wore the previous day and I’m not ready to get into a feud with him today. I will try to avoid him as much as I can. “Hey!”I heard Royal grumble and I turned to look at him. He had just woken up from sleep “You’re up?”I asked “Yeah, I should freshen up,” he said and left the room. I rummaged through my wardrobe feeling frustrated. After a long time, I settled for a straight black pant, and a gray shirt. I hope he doesn’t complain about this today too. When I was done, I took my bag and joined Royal at the dining table. We ate quietly and this time around I left the house without him.
Pamela: “I submitted it to Miss Riles this morning to go through it and send it to your email”Stella said and gave her a stern lookReally? She was trying to rat out on me, and push the whole blame on my head. Smart move!“You didn’t submit it at the right time and you told me the meeting was by ten!"I said in defense. "Look, I don't know what the hell is going on and I don't give a damn either!" Charles roared with his hands forming a fist.“I’m sorry sir,”Stella said immediately, staring down on the floor.“Dismissed! Miss Riles follow me to myoffice!”he said harshly. Then he walked away taking heavy steps towards the door.I looked at Stella who shamefully averted her gaze. She was guilty and I wanted this guilt to eat down the fabrics of her heart. She went really low and I was suddenly reminded of the fact that I should never trust human beings.Tenaciously, I grabbed a hold of Charles' office handle. Then I took in a deep breath before walking in. He was seated already and hi
