Something urgent came up for Stanley and he suddenly left the office after giving me his credit card to get dinner treat with Pamela.“You can eat all your cravings, all bills on me” he texted me as he left and I just scoffed before dropping my phone to finish my work.I texted Pamela and we ended up at a small restaurant where we took some drinks and ordered for some food which I paid for with the card.“Our CEO is a nice person but no one has ever seen this side of him. I think he began to show this side when you came around” Pamela remarked with a mouthful of foodI countered her accusations. “What do you mean you have never seen this side of him? He has always taken you all on trips and all” She nodded in agreement “He did all that but he was never active during those times. He would either be in his room or outside doing some other things. He would just make sure everything we needed was provided and he would give the excuse that he doesn’t want to be a burden or source of incon
MEI’S POVI was so hyped for the weekend shoot that I did all my best to improve my skin and appearance so I would look beautiful to Ray but I was highly disappointed when I waited all day for him to show up and the producer announced that Ray wouldn’t be around for the day. “I cannot film this without Ray! How am I supposed to trust my life with someone I am not sure of his competence?” I whined and refused to start the shooting.“This is not right. You are keeping the whole crew waiting just because you are being unnecessarily stubborn. The trainer is fit for the shoot so let’s just do it and get done with it” my manager pleaded but I wouldn’t have it.When I realized that I might be overdoing things and Ray would not come anytime soon, I agreed to the shooting and we started even though my mind was not fixated at the instructions I was being given.Five minutes into the shoot, I lost my thinking and my feet intertwined on the treadmill making me fall and roll off the running machi
As soon as Mei got well and was off the cast, she went back to the gym to register officially because she wanted to get closer to Ray.“Shouldn’t you rest well after taking off the cast?” he asked with a surprised tone at her sudden visitShe giggled at his expression and just pushed the form forward. “We both agreed to cheer each other’s dream on, have you forgotten that already?” “Ah.. We did say that but is your dream to be a trainee?” he dragged the words out of his mouth and she smiled“Well, that is also a dream but just so you know that this is the path to my dream” she responded and pointed for him to sign her membership form“I wish you the best on your path” he said to her, signing over the form“I will really do my best” she blushed, grabbing the paper and clutching the paper to her chest in happiness as she ran out of the officeRay tilted his head as he watched her go. “She’s so unpredictable” he muttered, adjusting his clothes.*****Stanley flew out of the country to a
I got to my room and dumped everything from my suitcase to my suit on the bed before crashing beside it. I was so tired from the meetings and outings I had but I still haven’t recovered from the shock I experienced at the bar. Before I left, people already showed up to clean up the scattered place and when I announced my departure, she slipped a business card in my pocket and told me to keep in touch. “Who exactly is she? I feel so uneasy about her” I kept whispering to myself before fishing out her card to see her name as Jenny “Je… eenn … nny” I dragged out her name, flipping the card through my fingers I decided to forget about the event and dialed Petal’s number instead. I had the intention of calling her immediately I got to my room but the incident that happened made me forgot totally. Even though I was not sure if she would pick up my call, I decided to try it once to check my luck and she did pick it up. “Is there something I should do or send over?” was her first response
I got to work the following morning as usual and after a while, I got hungry. It was then I realized that I didn’t eat dinner the last night thanks to certain someone.“I don’t think I can hold on till lunch time, I need to get myself something” I murmured to myself and went to the break room to get some coffee and biscuits but I met something shocking.The break room was so empty. Nothing was there except the utensils and equipment. Every edible things had been cleared off.“Did something happen here? Why is everywhere so empty?” I asked, looking around but no one gave me any answer to my questions.They all pretended to be so busy all of a sudden and I knew that they weren’t ready to answer so I just stopped and went back to my seat.The thought of waiting till lunch time so I could visit the cafeteria was too traumatizing because hunger was taking the best part of me but I knew I had no choice at that point so I braced myself to endure the agonizing torment of hunger.“Excuse me!”
They were all surprised that he suddenly popped out of the office since they were not expecting him to be around at that time. He was supposed to come in with the evening flight after all.“When did you come back sir? We weren’t expecting you” Tina sprang up out of shock“I decided to come in with the night flight since my schedule ended faster than expected and that shouldn’t be a problem right?” he answered and Tina shook her head quickly“Not at all” she answered swiftly and turned to me “Miss Petals. You have to wait behind and see me before closing for the day” and went back inside his office. It was then I realized that he must have seen when they packed up the break room just to get me frustrated since they noticed that I loved everything in the break room.“He really went out of his way” I muttered and a smile lurked around the corner of my lips as I watched him go even though I couldn’t help but wonder why he wanted me to stay back.Everyone left for their homes immediately
One Saturday, after coming back from the gym, I decided to have my shower before any other thing even though I was extremely tired. The week had been quite busy and exhausting for me because of the sudden increase in so much news to deal with but I didn’t want to skip my exercise routine before I got a scolding message from Ray who was always strict and appreciated consistency.“You are finally home today, I feel like it’s been up to a month I saw you” I said to Mei who came out of her room with a loud yawnCurling into the couch, she also responded with a tired voice. “I know right. I have been here and there that we barely see and you don’t even text. Why do you never text me?” she attacked, suddenly springing up“You hate it” I answered, grabbing the jug of water“You don’t even bother to do it. You seems to love it when you don’t hear from your troublesome sister I guess” she attacked continuouslyMy eyes rolled at her words, “You certainly know that it’s not like that” I tried de
I didn’t know why she was bent at making me stay over for the night but I could sense fear from her gaze and actions. “Is something wrong, Pamela?” I asked, finding the courage to move closer to her I was confused at first, I thought she was making some weird advances at me but when I calmed down enough to watch her with a clear thinking, I knew there was something behind her plea. “Come with me” she invited and took the lead We walked into the deep part of her kitchen and I saw her window shattered on the ground. A gasp flew out of my mouth at the sight of the mess in front of me. “Jesus Christ! Did someone try to break in?” I asked, rushing forward but she pulled me back by my clothes “Don’t step on the broken glass, you might get hurt” she cautioned and I stepped back just like she had said. I was too anxious because of the sight that I was not thinking straight about the possibilities of the glass piercing my feet “Ah true, I must have been surprised seeing all the mess” I
