Chapter: Chapter 3: Declined Poppy's POV"I'm really stupid! It's gold plated, right? That's why he's in there because he's a valuable person! I didn't think of that!" I pounded my head on my cubicle table, irritated. "How can I do this when I already know I'm on his dislike list?" I worriedly asked myself.The phone rang just as I was ready to slam my head again."Hello? Sir West, what can I do for you?" I inquired cautiously. "Made me some coffee!" said the person on the other end of the line before hanging up. I walked to the pantry alongside Mr. Caden's office, where the cabinets, coffee machine, water dispenser, and other food and drink preparation equipment are located.I was perplexed as to what I needed to make coffee. It also took me some time to discover it because I was new and had no idea where it was. Sir Caden's yell came through a slide window connecting to his office."Where is my coffee, Ms. Beckett?" He yelled. "Wait, sir, I'm doing it!" I said. As I pressed the coffee maker, my hands trembled

Chapter: Chapter 2: Westbridge Poppy's POV"Woah!" I exclaimed when I saw the Westbridge building. It was far larger than Mr. Miller's and the other companies I applied to the day before. The structure has 100 or more floors. I was so taken with the massive structure that I forgot I just had 10 minutes before I had to go. I rush inside and accidently run into someone."My apologies, I wasn't looking my way," an apologetic man's voice remarked. I was astounded to see his manly features as he raised his face. He has gray ash hair, stunning golden eyes that complement his arched thick gray brows, a sharp nose, and curves kissable lips. I've never been this way around guys before.I snapped out of my thoughts when he asked me if I was alright."U-uhm, yes, I'm fine, how about you?" I responded. He just stares at me, and his eyes twinkle. My cheeks are suddenly hot."It's not a bad idea to be friends with him; maybe I'll just ask for his phone number," I reasoned.My flirty mode has vanished as I open my phone screen.

Chapter: Chapter 1: HomelessPoppy's POVAs I gaze at the tomb of the guy I once adored, silent tears trickle down my cheeks. My mother is sniffling and my younger brother is sobbing."I've already missed Dad," Sunny said as she rested her chin on my left shoulder."Me, too, Sunny," I said, clutching her trembling hands. As she leans against me, she begins to cry."Poor Becketts, they went bankrupt, and now the head of their family is dead," a gossip lady in the back said to a friend."Does that mean we're now higher than them?" her proud companion asked. My ear begins to flare up in annoyance as I hear them. This woman is getting on my nerves, and I want to yell and shoo her away from my father's burial with her companions.They had thick skin and could only focus on their position and our existing family situation. They didn't even give us sympathies, and now they're referring to us as if we didn't exist. An unexpected phone vibration diverts my attention. Mom cries as soon as she sees my father's face on her

Chapter: Chapter 7Bree's POV "There was a fly so... so I smashed it," explained the man with complete face cover.I just stared at him, confused. I'm not sure why I had a peculiar feeling about this man, as if he was interested in something other than buying espresso."Is there a problem here?" Mike inquires, holding my right shoulder as we wait for the steamed ground coffee. Even though he was wearing black sunglasses, I could tell he was glaring."Oh nothing," I said.My eyes widened as Mike came in closer to my ears, about to whisper something to me, when the man exclaimed."Are you two going to flirt in front of your customers?" "Pardon?" Mike inquired."Stop flirting and get my order right now!" Mike clinched his fist in anger at the man's mockery. Before things get out of hand, I grab Mike's fist and squeeze it, signaling that I'll take care of him. He then calmed down and went about his work."Sorry for the inconvenience, Sir, we hope for your consideration," I apologize.Mike finished and

Chapter: Chapter 6Bree's POV"This familiar voice, where have I heard it before?" I thought after hearing the man's voice. "And this perfume," I continued.I can still see the diamond ring in his middle finger and the infinity with a rose in the center tattoo on his middle knuckles despite the dull red lighting. "I've seen it before, but where?" I keep wondering. His grip became even tighter."Answer me right now!" He was now enraged.When I heard his voice for the second time, my eyes widened and my knees shook nervously. "I can't be wrong, his touch, his breath, and his voice," "Gosh, it's Calix!" I bit my lower lip when I realized it was him. "What is he doing in this kind of place? Is he meeting another girl here?" "Wait, why would I care? It's none of my business," I pondered."I-I was just lost, sir," I said in my most obnoxious voice, hoping he couldn't figure me out."Lost?" he inquired, not convinced by my response. I can also tell he's sniffing my head all the way down to my hair. He abruptly

Chapter: Chapter 5Bree's POVIt was early in the morning as I explosively washed my own plate at the sink. My blood was still boiling as our conversations from last night kept repeating in my head."I can't believe you! Did you really think I'm a prostitute? That you can just buy me with your money?" I really feel humiliated by him."No, But if that's the only way to have you, why not?" His voice was so calm like flowing water on the river which made me more angry."You're ridiculous!" The only words I said before going out of his car and hardly slamming the door.Just thinking of it gives me a total headache. "I think the same feather flocks together are real," I mumbles while I was still angrily washing at my plates."Hey there! You're so noisy! Shut it! Can't you see I'm sleeping?" The woman from the upper part of the bunk shouted."Sorry!" I shouted back. I can hear her sighed as she covers herself with her blanket. I carefully placed my plates on the cupboard. After that I tiptoed back to the lo

Chapter: Chapter 4Bree's POVEverything had occurred so fast. I was so stunned when Calix suddenly stood up from his wheelchair and now we both looked messed up. Even though tired and my hips are aching I was jolted back to my senses remembering this night is my engagement party. I hurriedly fixed myself and the skirt of my gown. Calix was looking at me while he was zipping his slacks and buckling his belt back."Mi Amor, why in such a hurry?""Shut it! Remember this! This will be the last time! And don't you ever! Ever come close to me!" I exclaimed, pointing my fingers at him. " I'll be going now! Uncle Calix!" I said, emphasizing the Uncle Calix word to draw a line between us."You're just gonna leave me like that? Like you did to me last time? Are you making me a fool? You're such a whore!" My ears ring as he calls me whore. "Break off that engagement! I don't want to see you together with my nephew—" he was cut off as I slapped him so hard."How dare you call me whore! I was never like that, I'm

Chapter: Chapter 3Bree's PovBlonde Braided updo hairstyle, simple but elegant makeup matching with nude blush shade lipstick, a pair of pear-shaped diamond teardrop earrings matching with a princess necklace having 5 pear-shaped diamond pendants and an old rose open shoulder maxi long gown dress showing my body curves and firm cleavage with a long slit exposing my right thigh. "So this is what I look like huh!" I state while looking at myself in a full body mirror. "Give me an elegant turn darling," Robert said, my makeup artist for tonight. I did what he requested and made a pose."Stunning!" Drawing a check on the air which made me chuckle.Tonight is the night where Louie and I will be officially engaged in front of many people but also the night where I'll be exposing those two thick-faced traitors. A knock on the door drawing our attention. It was Louie picking me up. He wore a black tuxedo matching with his ash brown clean cut hair. Looking at his reaction, I can see the amazement through hi

Chapter: Chapter 2Bree's P.O.VI almost threw my phone out of anger.Enclosed in the email were my scandal pictures with the guy I was with last night with a short message attached: Break-off the engagement or else everyone will know. I didn't expect Louie to go this far just to break-up with me. It makes me confused like everything doesn't make sense, if he doesn't like me why would he bother himself to propose marriage towards me? If he wants to break-off our engagement, why not just cancel it? Is that their first time or have they done it many times without me even noticing? "Ahhhh! I'm so stupid!" I shouted to myself. Grabbing my hair and harshly pulling it. A sudden knock on my door makes me come back to my senses. "Señorita, breakfast is ready. Wake up!" the maid said. Opening the door, her reaction was so immeasurable after seeing my swollen eyes."Señorita! What happened? Why are your eyes swollen?" her voice was so worried. I just ignored her words and ordered her to get me 2 cold spoons.
