NATHAN I stare blankly at the file that was delivered to my desk some minutes ago, and everything in here doesn't make sense.I feel like there's a huge gap of information that was missing here.What could they have missed?Everything here is just mundane kinds of stuff about Eleanor Duke and Jake Smith. The only intriguing Part is that Jake Smith is the director of account and finance at my company and the fact that they both usually screw each other now and then“How come I have never heard of the name Jake Smith as the director of account and finance?” I asked Jeff, who was standing at the other side of the table.“You know him, sir; you just don't care about the names of your workers. As far as they do their jobs well” Jeff replied sarcastically “Well… I know your name, right?” “Yes sir, and that's because I do my job well” he replied No lie about that. He does his job well.“Sir, you have a meeting to attend in five minutes,” Jeff reminded me.“This guy—Jake. Is he going to b

KIM“Giovanni Ferraro?”He smiled at me when he heard me call his name. His dark brown eyes shone. “Ciao, Tesoro! I see you remember me, huh?” A deep baritone voice with a thick Italian accent replied with a smirk.“Of course, I remember you, Giovanni”, I replied, smiling from ear to ear.“You guys know each other?” Phoebe asked me. Her eyes probed for an answer and something else.“Yes, erm, Giovanni and I met six years ago when I visited Italy. Do you remember that time during college when I went to Italy? I met Giovanni there, and he kind of saved my life”“Oh my, he's that guy you told me about?” Phoebe gasped as she covered her mouth, fanning surprise. I didn't tell her anything more than a guy saving me while I was drowning in the hotel pool.“Oh, now I'm curious about what she told you about me,” Giovanni said, smiling while raising one of his eyebrows at me.“Don't mind her, Giovanni, she's just been dramatic”, I said, and we all laughed. Please have your seat, ladies. Gi

KIMI watched the bustling streets of midtown Manhattan through the window of my Phantom Rolls Royce sedan. I had my phone in one of my hands with the screen displaying the email Jeff had sent earlier today.“Do you have any plans on how to get rid of them?” Phoebe, who was sitting beside me, asked. Her voice tinged with concern.All the confidence we had about fighting the past and making them pay seems to have dwindled drastically. “it would have been easier if it were any other subsidiary. The headquarters is a hard nut to crack, as I can't fire a director or a team leader without a cause” I replied weakly. ‘without a cause?’“But what if we found a cause!” Phoebe and I voiced excitedly at the same time. “Judging from Jake and Eleanor's stinky attitude, it's impossible for them to be without a mistake. All we have to do is find one,” Phoebe explained.“Or create one” I stated, staring darker into the space before me.“Huh, what?” Phoebe asked.I uncrossed my leg and turned to f

NATHAN. I tossed for the hundredth time on my bed. I hadn't slept a wink since last night. This is the first time in a while that I would be bothered by something to the extent that it would keep me awake all night. My mind drifted to the incident that happened last night, and I couldn't help but wonder, who the hell is Jake Smith? The look on Kim's face after that marketing lady mentioned the name Jake Smith was something I had never seen before. She looked like she had seen a ghost! No, no. She looked mortified like she'd seen death! Even though I couldn't describe what I was feeling at that time when I saw her Pale skin becoming paler and the way she was sweating profusely in a fully conditioned room, all I knew was I had to get that lady away from her! What could have happened that would make her tremble when she heard that name? Rather than stay here and be curious forever, I can as well just demand an answer to the question I asked yesterday. I stepped out of bed an

KIMAs I walked out of the lecture room. Hundreds of eyes were on me. I could feel their heavy gaze and their disgusting Look on me.I clutch the strap of my bag with force as I quicken my pace. I wanted to leave here but the hall seems to keep stretching and stretching. I break into a small run determined to leave the hall and get out into the open space away from the disgusting eyes boring into my skin, away from the loud laugh and pointing fingers. But no matter how far I went, I still couldn't reach the end of the hall.Out of nowhere, something hard hits my head and the liquid seeps into my scalp. I touched my head, and a shell of egg moved down my burette hair onto the floor. Before I could grasp the situation, dozens of eggs came flying at me.I crutch down and protect my face as more eggs keep flying towards me, along with unending insults from every corner.“Slut! Bitch! Whore! Prostitute! Boyfriend snatcher! Go die bitch! Cheap thing! Dirty whore! Go fuck your father bitc

KIMNathan's cold look sent waves of electricity down my nerves as a bead of sweat slowly made its way over the corner of my eyes and down to my cheek. My breathing becomes shallow, and my mouth becomes dry.I glanced at Eleanor and noticed the smug look on her face. I bet she's enjoying every bit of this, but I won't make her laugh last.I took a sharp and steady breath to soothe my raging nerves, but that did not help at all. One of the maids scurried over with a broom to sweep the shattered glass and mopped the remnant of spilt wine while the other replaced my wine glass and refilled it.I used the distracted time to calm down and compose myself, and thankfully, Nathan was not pressing for an answer immediately. I looked at Eleanor's tanned face, my face contorted with rage. At the moment, I wish I could possess Nathan's emotionless and stoic face. But far from that, I don't know how to keep my emotions at bay or should I say I haven't learnt how.Nathan, who had been looking at
