He seems affected so much with the diffuser” she asked over my shoulder and I snortedI turned and responded “He should learn how to take what he give others too. How dare he spray my face with some rubbish he tagged an air freshener. All I did was clean the air for him as much as he wanted” Bea slowly raised her thumb up and gave me a wink before rushing to pack up the things we used for the shoot.I took a look around the room to see if there was anything else to fix and when I was assured that everything was in place, I marched towards the door before Bea called my attention.“Can I have two hours off? I have to see someone off and it is very important” she said trying to act cuteI needed no one to tell me that it was about the guy I saw with her at the hospital but I wanted to play dumb.“You want to see someone off?

I wanted to turn back immediately but I kicked against the idea and faced her instead. She descended the mini stairs in front of the orphanage to close in on me. Since I didn’t want to cause any unnecessary issues, I decided not to be rude because truthfully, all I know about her are what I had assumed and as a journalist, I should be able to draw a line between personal feelings and facts.“Good afternoon ma’am” I greeted with a small bow and watched her still maintaining the smile“How have you been? You’ve gotten prettier than the last time we met” she complimented and I gave a soft fake blush.We both walked deeper into the field as we talked even though I was forced into the session with her.“I never knew that you visit our orphanage. It’s nice seeing you here” she stated and I was forced to ask if she owned the orphanage.She denied immediately.“I only sponsor it because of the kids. That was how we were raised, I grew up watching my father do charity and he would always tell

Madam Antonio was about heading for the stairs when Laura came out of Chairman Antonio’s home office with all her eyeballs red and her face was squeezed with anger. She paused at the sight of her and they both engaged in a staring battle, their gazes were so intense that it could bore a hole in their heads.“To whom do we owe this honor?” Madam Antonio finally broke the silence“Oh come on Josie. Don’t pretend as if you don’t know that I am not here for you” Laura slammed with a smirkMadam Antonio returned the smirk and walked close to her“Laura, we both know that you do not have the best interest of me and my husband at heart. Stop trying to seduce him into signing stuffs that only you will benefit from.

If I can’t have him, then I should have his support at least” Laura spat out and Madam Antonio almost raised her hand to

PETALS’S POVI was so pissed at all the questions my mother was throwing at me when she was just seeing me for the first time in years. We had cut ties with each other ever since she got married in less than six months our father died. I was so mad at her for moving on so quick and even told her that she was already befriending the man before our father died and she might even be the one that killed our father.I knew the words I spoke to her were heavy and harsh when my anger got subdued but it was already too late, we had gone our several ways.If we both stepped inside the house, we would never stop arguing throughout the night so I opened the door for her to have the house to herself while I go elsewhere to cool my head off before deciding if I will come back for the night or not.“Are you going to leave me here? Alone to myself?” she yelled and stopped me from leaving“Then should we continue shouting at each other? And wake all the neighbors? To tell them that what? I don’t even

Who?” she queried with a mouth full of toothpaste’s foam“Your father’s secretary is here. He said your father instructed him to pick you up” Irene passed the message across clearly and she scoffedShe didn’t even reply and went back to the bathroom to finish up what she was doing.
