"I had a great time with Amelia and Kate; it helped me forget about my problems. Even though I didn't want to discuss my suspension with Amelia, I still felt like chatting.Kate, Amelia, and I sat outside and talked about everything.I asked Amelia, 'How's work going?'Amelia replied, 'Not much, but I've noticed that Sophia isn't as blunt as before. I think she's scared and unsure about what to do.'I said, 'Really? Why do you think that?' I hope Sophia makes the right choice and that it eventually helps me get my job back. But for now, I'm enjoying this break."Amelia nodded in understanding and continued, "Yes, it's a bit strange to see Sophia so quiet. Maybe she's reconsidering her actions."Kate chimed in, "Well, whatever happens with Sophia, I'm just glad we could spend this time together. It's been nice having you around."I smiled at my friend and cousin. "I appreciate both of you being here for me during this tough period.I continued, feeling a bit surprised. "You know, I'm su

On Monday, I was just lazing around at home, not doing much. Suddenly, my phone started to ring.I wondered, "What does she want? I hope the investigation ends well for me."I picked up the call and greeted, "Hello, good morning, ma.""Good morning, Harper," she replied. "How are you?""I'm fine," I answered.Then she said, "Can you please come to the office?""Sure thing, ma," I agreed.I quickly went to freshen up and get ready for work. I wanted to do my best to show that the suspension didn't affect me.So, I applied some light makeup and dressed in a simple yet classy outfit.I checked myself in the mirror and felt good about how I looked. Then, I went outside and hailed a cab. I had my fingers crossed that my car would be fixed soon, or maybe I'd even get a new one.The cab ride to the office seemed like it was taking forever, and I couldn't help but think about the upcoming meeting with my boss. The anticipation was building up inside me.As I entered the office building, I saw

"I was in my room sleeping when my mum rushed in, waking me up, calling my name.'What is it, Mum?' I finally asked her.'Harper, I had a terrible dream about you.'My mum was scared but was relieved when she saw me breathing.'Thank goodness you are safe.''Mum, I'm fine.'I dressed up for work, walking to the dining area where I met Ava and Kate seated.'Good morning, girls,' I greeted.'Good morning, Harper.'My mum was on call with her sister, Aunt Samantha, Kate's mum.'I'm so tired,' I complain to Ava.'Harper, you look so tired. Did you sleep after Mum came crying in your room?' Ava asked.'Barely. I'm so tired,' I replied.'How come you are early?''I have a meeting with a prospective client, and he has been busy. He is traveling soon, so the earlier, the better,' I explained to Ava.Then my mum was still on call with Kate's mum, explaining the dream she had with her.'Kate, what's up? What are your plans for today?' I asked.'Nothing serious, Alex will be coming to town for so

"The kiss was blissful. I looked into his eyes; his expression was priceless like Josh was so happy right now.'I can't believe you feel this way about me,' he said.'Yes, I do, and the feeling is way out of this world, I must confess.''Meaning you have guarded your heart so I won't be able to break through your facade?' he asked.'Not that, I'm just being careful. I just came out of a very bad heartbreak, and I'm just careful to trust my heart with anyone again.''I understand,' he said.'And more so, Chloe is lurking in the corner.'He lowered his gaze and said, 'About Chloe.'"I told her how I felt about you."'Are you for real?' I asked, my face lighting up.'Yes, she didn't take it well, though, but I'm happy.'"So how is your new office?" I asked him."It's fine, but I miss our meetings together. I do call for those meetings so I can have the chance to see you always," he confessed."I know," I said."I felt bad when you rejected me the first time, but I'm happy you've given me

"Immediately I heard his name, I let out a cough. I'm in for some real trouble," I thought to myself.He looked at me with concern as I coughed, patted my back gently, and said, "Sorry."Then he asked, "Are you okay?" looking at me worried."I'm fine, just a little tickle in my throat," I cleared my throat again while nodding and trying to be calm, I said with a smile.He seemed to believe me, but I was uneasy. I have to be cautious now that I know Josh knows Nolan, based on my past encounter with him.We continued our conversation, but I tried not to bring up Nolan or the new company making waves again."Thank you," he said."For what?" I asked him, looking at him surprised."Harper, I'm glad you agreed to be my date for the party," he said sincerely as he looked into my eyes.Returning his smile, I said, "I wouldn't miss it for anything, Josh."After a while, we left the restaurant, he drove me to my house.We kissed and said our goodbyes, Getting inside the house I ran a warm bath,

"I think you should tell Josh about the one night you had with Nolan," Kate said."Hell no, I can't tell him. I don't think Nolan has any ulterior motive; he just wants me to join his new company, and perhaps he has carried out his research and found out how valuable I am to my company.""Valuable indeed. You better do the right thing by coming out clean to Josh. It's not like you cheated on him; it happened when you guys weren't together, and we don't know if Nolan wants to be funny," Amelia said.Kate said, "You should be honest with Josh because it's the right thing to do."Amelia agreed, "Yeah, telling the truth is important, and you didn't cheat on him."My friends cared about each of me and wanted what was best. I hoped everything would work out okay for me."We talked all through the night, and then Josh called.'How are you, my amazing girlfriend?' I blushed. The girls noticed and wanted to hear our discussion. I rolled my eyes at them and excused myself.'Where are you, and i

"Nolan," Josh greeted, holding me close."I've been busy. I forgot to call you," Nolan said.My heart was pounding in my chest. I couldn't explain it. Josh was suspicious as he continued staring between me and Nolan while rubbing my back smoothly."You've been busy? News of your activities has been going around town," Josh tells him."Well, I'm trying to bring a new phase to the maritime industry," Nolan said.Things got more tense. Josh couldn't stop staring at Nolan, and he was getting more and more suspicious. Nolan tried to change the subject. "Josh, you know how much I care about ships and the sea. It's not just a job; it's my way to do something good.""You know it's a very difficult market to launch into," Josh said."That's why I need the best hand to help me achieve that," he looked at me."Good evening, Harper." As he kissed my hands, Josh's eyes bulged out as Nolan advanced toward me.My heart kept pounding seriously in my chest. I didn't know how to escape this scenario. I

"Why are you crying? What's wrong?" Amelia and I asked at the same time.She kept on crying with hiccups. We made her sit to pacify her. When she was a bit calm, we asked again, "What was wrong?" With a few hiccups, she tried to compose herself and said, "It's Shawn.""What's wrong with Shawn? I hope he is fine," I inquired."Yes, he is fine," she said."So what happened exactly?" I asked."We were having a quiet time watching a movie and eating popcorn in his apartment. Then he told me he wanted to tell me something," she began."Okay," I interrupted her.She wiped away a tear and continued,"I was worried. I paused the movie and asked, 'What?'"He still looked at me, worried, contemplating if he should tell me or not.Then he told me he slept with Aria."Who is Aria?" we both asked him."Aria has a crush on him and has been flirting with him most of the time.""Was he drunk when he had sex with her?"
