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

THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 39. INSENSITIVE BASTARD
After dropping the call, I felt weird. The gravity of what I had concluded gradually started to dawn on me and I knew I had flunked a very big opportunity. I could have asked for an interview with the chairman in exchange for taking down the article but I knew my conscience wouldn’t let me rest afterward. As if Stanley had been waiting for an opportunity to mock me, he sent for me immediately and pointed to the couch for me to have my seat, which I did with a trembling body. I knew what was to come from him and I just had to prepare myself thoroughly. “I heard you refused to take down the article” he started and my left hand found its way to the top of my right one, pinching all the fingers orderly as I tried to ease my nervousness “Ah… Yes sir. I did tell them to leave the article on our home page” I responded, my head hung low Even if I would be bracing myself up for whatever banters he would throw, looking up to see his expression and mocking face would make it worse and unbeara
THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 40. AT YOUR WEAKEST
Marcus went home with a bruised face after the brawl that went on between him and Monica. The gemstones attached to the purse had made several scratches that made his mother raise an eyebrow as soon as he stepped in.“Call him right now! How dare she disfigure the face of my son this way?” she screamed and the maid rushed to inform the Chairman about the madam’s order.“You don’t have to make a fuss. I don’t even want to get married to a tiger like her. She’s a sly fox and I’m sure she won’t want the marriage too” he snapped at his mother who came back to him with a first aid box“Just stay still” she yelled at herAfter treating his wound, he went out in anger to meet Darwin who was already at the bar having a drink.“I heard your face got scratched. The person you met this time is surely tougher than you” Darwin mocked but he just ignored it as he took his seat.The bartender served him his favorite drink as he explained everything that ensued between him and Monica.“Really? It was
THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 41. THE APOLOGY
PETALS POVI planned to visit Pamela again after leaving work in order to confirm if the broken windows had been fixed but I got a text from Irene that Monica needed us badly. I knew the content of the text without her having to explain further because we all knew what our weaknesses and problems so it was not new.Immediately I saw the text, I knew her father had acted up again and it was one of the days when she was at her weakest.“Oh Monica, please be fine” I kept muttering to myself, trying hard not to panic as I packed up for the day and left for Irene’s house.The rain suddenly poured down when I dropped down from the bus so I had to wait for the taxi I ordered to come before moving to Irene’s house where I met them wailing in the rain.How broken could she be for her to cry this much?

THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 42. I INSIST
PETALS’ POVI was at the office when the interview with Chairman Antonio came up and he apologized to whole public for the trouble his sons caused to the people and the employee involved.“I am sorry that I am lacking as a father. I apologize for every inconveniences their actions might have caused. I will make it up to everyone affected and as from today, the waitress will be under the care and welfare of our company” he stated and gave a small bowEveryone in the office clapped at his humbleness and I couldn’t close my mouth in awe. He was a man I respected all my life and with everything he had been doing, my respect for him was only increasing rapidly and I was sure that would be the same for almost everyone, seeing their reactions.“He’s just so humble and meek. Not everyone would be willing to apologize publicly for their sons’ mistake. They would only try to cover it up with money instead” I muttered, trying hard not to blush as I waited for the water for my coffee to boil“You

I go all in and all the way” she once told me sincerely and I could see that trait in her relationship with Ray even thou
