"Send me an expresso, please," I order using the landline. I end up the call and swirl my chair around to grab the file that is sitting on the cabinet behind me as I grab it, I swirl the chair back to its normal position. Today is a very busy day, I am piled up with a lot of work but thankfully one of my co-workers, Alexander decided to give me a hand even though it isn’t his job to do that. Not quite long after I started working on the papers, a staff knock on my door and I tell him to come in. I don’t take my gaze off the papers I’m working on as the staff approaches me and keeps the coffee by the side of the table before he walks out of the cabin. I take a sip out of it and I exhale; warm refreshing coffee. The exact thing I need to make me concentrate. I am almost done with what I am doing when Alexander knocked on my cabin door. I call out for him to come in before he does."Hey Rachel, sorry I took time." He says approaching my desk "I’m done working on the files. Everything i
~ UNKNOWN POV"What do you mean he sent all the money!" I hear Boss barking on the phone. I am standing outside his door but I can hear every single thing he is saying. His voice is too audible that it feels like he is talking right in front of me. I have to say, I am surprised that he is speaking in English, he hardly communicates in that language."Whatever it is, I don’t want to listen to your fucking explanations, just do as I say." He rantsHoly shit! This man seems to be more frustrated than usual. I wonder what evil barked into his head today. Seems like I came on the wrong day and certainly at the wrong time. I exhale, mentally preparing myself to walk inside the office. As I turn the doorknob, and was about to push the door open, my actions halt when Piper speaks. "Don’t go in there, I am telling you." She warns. Piper is Boss’s secretary. She is a blonde-haired woman who appears to be in her late twenties. "This is his fifth call today and he seems to get angrier. Take m
~ RACHEL’S POVI wake up to the beeping noise of my phone. I groan turning around and laying on my stomach with a pillow covering my head. I lift myself up, the pillow tumbled over. My eyes squint as the sun shin through the curtains making me groan and lay my head back on to the bed. I slowly turn over to my back, my arm reaching to rest over my eyes.I hear another beep which makes me groan harder. This is the tenth time my phone has beeped. Without opening my eye, I reach for the phone which I keep on the side table. I pick up the phone and see eight notifications from Instagram and two messages from Rebecca. I open Rebecca’s messages, she sent me two pictures, which looks like a screenshot from Instagram. The first picture is of me in the bar holding a bottle of beer and it was captioned "Rachel Moranzino gets drunk with her coworkers"I scoff rolling my eyes. They just had to say that. Scrolling to the second picture, it a photo of me smiling at Alexander. Its caption is; 'Does R
Someone is out there, but I don’t know who he is, what he does, or how he does it. All I know is that he wants to bring Richie down. Which is a good thing, though I am confused as to how he did it. The only way to leak that information is by getting the original receipt of Richie’s transaction with the drug dealer which is highly impossible because all important receipts are either kept in Richie’s office cabinet or the study room. And there isn’t a chance that a random stranger walked into the study room and took an important receipt without being caught. So it’s gotta be the office, well, whoever it is has access to Richie’s cabin door.I have been pacing around the room for over two minutes trying to put two in two together. It doesn’t make much sense that someone took the receipt from the office and even if it’s possible then who could it be? And how? Richie is the only one that has the keys to every cabinet with important documents. How could someone just get the receipts out of
I think Richie’s phone calls are never ending today. He has been on a call with different people for over two hours now. It’s continuous- nonstop, once he’s done talking to one person he moves to another. It’s almost like a perpetual motion machine, he doesn’t seem to stop anytime soon.After all that paparazzi drama and the news going on and off about Richie and whatsoever crime he did. Things haven’t been going well for him or me I must say. Richie’s case is different, he will eventually sort things out like he always does but as for me, I can’t sort things out. As a matter of fact; I didn’t get to do anything of my own, especially about Ezra. I still don’t know who he is or what he does, all I have is his name and that’s not enough. However, I asked Silas to look up anyone named Ezra who worked with Richie. This man is very important to me, so the sooner I find out who he is, the better.I am presently in my office fixing appointments and scheduling different meetings for Richie. I
Locking myself in the bathroom, I go to the sink and splash some water on my face. I exhale, I can’t believe myself, I have a serious problem, I mean what the hell is wrong with me, why do I tend to enjoy moments like that with Richie? It’s Richie for crying out loud, I hate him with all my heart and I hate everything about him but why- why do I like it when he touches me? Why do I enjoy his touch?I sigh splashing water on my face again. All of this is just too much for me to handle. I don't understand why I can't resist Richie, resisting him is that simple, I just have to tell him that I’m not ready for this or tell him that now is not the time but somehow I can’t bring myself to do that. It’s almost as if I forget everything else in the world when he touches me and the only thing I can think of at that moment is what his hands are doing to me. God! This is so frustrating, I can’t keep doing this, Richie’s touch makes me weak. And I hate that. I don’t want to be weak, I need to be s
~ RICHIE’S POV"This is exactly what I mean. What happened yesterday cannot repeat itself." I say through the phone, standing up and walking to the balcony’s front guardrail. I am on call with the head of the Swat team. We are discussing the recent incident and I just found out that he has no idea about what happened. That is surprising because he is the head of the team. "Is that so?" I inquire. I can’t believe what he just told me. It’s almost unbelievable that someone dares to do this to me. I guess people don’t fear me like I thought they do. "Alright then, I think I know what to do next," I state. Whoever is behind this will bleed in pain. I might end up spearing the person but Papa, he will burn that person alive. "Thank you for the information, officer O’Conner, I appreciate it," I say and then ended the call. I slip the phone into my pants pocket. This is the first time something like this has happened, I have never been humiliated by any force like I was yesterday. Whoever
~ BRAD’S POVToday is a hectic day, I just finished running some errands and now I’m heading to the baby store to get a gift for my sister; she gave birth to a bouncing baby boy. I don’t really know what I should get her but I think anything that isn’t a pack of condoms will be good enough. The last time she gave birth, I gifted her a condom which got her so mad that me that I had to throw her a party as an apology and a replacement gift. Looking at everything in my own view, I don’t see a reason why she was mad, I think a packed condom is a very useful gift because- you know, who doesn’t want a free condom?I walk into the store. I definitely didn’t see myself walking into a baby store again especially since I got banned from the last one. I walk around and see all sorts of baby clothes everywhere; sleep suits, body suits, normal looking outfits, bibs, blankets. Damn, I have no idea what to buy!Where the hell are the jeans and shirts? I look around a little lost until I spot a young
