2024-10-29 19:42:56Just the sound of it was hard to ignore. Savannah rubbed her temples to ease the headache, she hadn't gotten a good sleep last night combined with the commotion just made it worse.
This had been a week after she met with Brandon in that restaurant, Charlie's voice had also improved greatly as he could have spoken already. He was proved to be a good company, along with that mischievous little kid, Adrian who liked to prank David Newman.Savannah didn't know why though, but she didn't mind.Right now, David was making a hassle inside the company, screaming to Mr. Hernandez and demanding him to give him another chance.Yes, that's right, the extremely lazy secretary was being fired by the mighty Mr. Hernandez due to his incompetent and laziness.David's screaming had begun to irritate other employees that they sent him a glare, which of course he ignored."You can't do that, I did all the works just fine." David reasoned again, halRelated chapters

Mr. Hernandez was lying when he said that they had gotten a new receptionist to replace her. For a week, they were in a need of the position, so, she ended up doing both jobs.She wouldn't call him fully lying though, maybe half lying was the better phrase. Definitely, she didn't complain about how it ended up to be. Charlie, for more than two days as of now, had been doing the job just fine.Mr. Hernandez had made him her replacement, which she was thankful about. Her heart swelled in happiness as soon as Mr. Hernandez told her the news."Happy now?" He smirked at her, who resisted the urge to stick her tongue out at him.She understood that it was impossible to make Charlie the secretary since his handwriting wasn't really neat, and he sometimes lost focus a bit on what things people around him had uttered, so taking notes was hard.Mr. Hernandez also thought that Savannah would make a good secretary. He just chose her based o

This afternoon, Savannah had brought Amara to buy her some candies for saving. Janette since she wanted some refreshment, decided to come along with both of them.Amara looked excited as she walked and kept on scanning at the pack of candies in front of her, still couldn't decide which candy she would take home.Janette followed after the little girl, in her mouth she was eating a small candy she had bought earlier. Savannah wasn't far from them, scanning the pancake that was displayed near the glass of the shop. She wanted to buy one for them tonight.Savannah's eyes immediately fell on a beautiful cake that was decorated with strawberry and chocolate. No doubt that Grandma would like them as she loved chocolate very much.Savannah called the shopkeeper and asked her to wrap the cake. As she waited, Savannah immediately went to search for Amara and Janette. God knows how many candies they had brought after they were left for almost half a

It was Saturday, and Savannah was called by Mr. Hernandez to come to the office. She had enjoyed her time with Amara, but Mr. Hernandez interrupted them, needing her in the office for today's presentation.She had forgotten that she got that schedule, luckily, there was someone to remind her of that. On Saturday, employees were still supposed to come to work, but they could leave in the afternoon.Savannah readied herself. After she had a bath, she began to change into formal attire and apply some light make up.As she walked out of her bedroom, she immediately was greeted by the rare sight of Brandon holding Carrick. The grey cat seemed reluctant to be near him but didn't attempt to claw or bite him.Janette with Carrie was another story, she had tried to hold the cat down, but the little feral cat was trying to bite and get away from her hold."What are you two doing?" Savannah asked, noticing Amara who was sitting near Brando

Two weeks had gone so fast. Mr. Hernandez and Savannah also got along so great during that time, even they had some meals together with Charlie while bringing Amara and Adrian together. Savannah was also getting used to calling him Lucas outside the work already.The two kids also got along better, of course, Savannah often caught them giggling while whispering to each other's ear happily. It was as if they were in their own world. Amara only got a few friends back home, so she had none around her age here. The same goes for Adrian, he only got friends whenever the kids from relatives visited.It was Sunday, meaning a free day for Savannah. Grandma was in a nursing home nearby, volunteering to take care of elders as she loved talking with them. Savannah didn't mind, Janette would be the one dropping her off at the place before she went with her friends. She would pick her up later if Grandma had called.Some knocking on the door pulled Savannah

Grandma had called from the nursing home, not to ask her granddaughters to pick her up, but to inform that she wanted to spend the night there. It wasn't a rarity though before Savannah and Janette came, Grandma was a bit lonely that she often sleeping there.She knew the owner, of course, it was one of her closest friend in high school. So, their friendship had been going on for a long time.This time, Grandma got an urgent matter to help a sick patient. A female worker was excused due to her sister giving birth in a hospital.It was almost night time. Janette also said that she was having a sleepover at Brandon's place to help his mom preparing a birthday party for one of Brandon's little stepbrother.So, it was just going to be Savannah and Amara alone in the house. That was until Adrian suggested that he wanted a sleepover. Lucas was horrified at the idea, as tomorrow they still got a pile of works on their table, also, he didn't feel comfor

Brandon and Janette had a trip from their school to some museum for a few days. This is resulting in Amara having a bad mood as she didn't have someone to play with at home. Grandma took her time to accompany her of course, though it wasn't enough.Right now, she was scrunching her face adorably, hands crossed at her chest as she stared at nothing particular in front of her.Savannah smiled at her, approaching the little girl with a phone in her hand. "Janette wants to speak to you, Sweetheart."Amara narrowed her eyes more. Nonetheless, she took the phone from Savannah's hand and began facing the older Easton."Hey, cutie." Janette began, smiling at the little girl through the phone screen as she noticed her bad mood. "Are you alright?"Amara just nodded, pouting more. This made Janette want to make her feel better. "Nah, don't pout like that.""I will buy you something when we got back," Janette reassured the slightly chu

The tremendous development made people around him happy since turned out, he was quite a funny man.He helped Lucas a lot with his work. Though he had gotten shelter and food from Lucas's home, Charlie still getting paid for his job as a receptionist. At first, he refused, but after some coaxing and persuading from Lucas, he finally agreed.He wouldn't say it for loud, but Charlie had already made a place in Lucas's life. He was like a father to him.As for Adrian, he would often seek for Charlie's presence. He was like the little boy's babysitter. Lucas had tried to search for the perfect babysitter, all of them were women. Most end up getting fired or quitting by themselves.Those babysitters used the opportunity just to be close to him, that's why. Most of them couldn't be patient with Adrian's rambunctious actions that they often s

Another month passed so quickly that Savannah didn't realize it. They had gotten closer, so much closer for colleagues. The kids had been enrolled in kindergarten together.It's like a routine for them, Charlie picking up the two from school at lunch and dropped them off at Savannah's house, or sometimes they stayed near Charlie's side, so the two wouldn't disturb any employees.This time, they stayed in the office. Savannah and Lucas had eaten lunch together as they entered the door of the building. The kids immediately run towards the two, making them let go of their clasped hands to catch the five years old.Savannah's face turned a bit red as she realized that they were still holding their hands together till the walk to the office. She nearly fell due to her being a little anemic, and Lucas had insisted to keep her on her feet by holding their hands together.It was also the first time she had seen him being a little nervous. He was r

A Girl From the Past Epilogue
The bustling activities outside didn't manage to disturb a man and a woman as they stayed inside the car.While the woman's eyes occasionally roamed around; as though she was searching for someone, the man behind the steering wheel would look at her before he followed her gaze. He clasped his hands together to cushion his head as he leaned back in a relaxed manner.Lucas enjoyed the atmosphere that he couldn't help but close his eyes for a short while. When he opened them again, he turned his head, finding his vague reflection in the car window staring back at him.His hair had turned slightly white on certain parts while his skin had gotten some wrinkles. He had aged a lot, considering it had been more than ten years since he made that promise."What makes them take so long?" The middle-aged woman's eyes still kept on looking out, staring at the high school young boys and girls outside.L
A Girl From the Past Chapter 48
Savannah had been having trouble sleeping lately. She kept on having a dream about the little blonde boy, who somewhat distinctly familiar to her.She thought that she knew him.As soon as the realization set in, Savannah couldn't help but find it inconceivable. She had woken up from that dream again, sat up, and froze on the place as her mind raced.A moment later, a perturbed look appeared on her face. She couldn't help from biting her nail.Various emotions attacked her at once; bewilderment, disbelief, sadness, and finally a little guilt. She sorted her thoughts, and gradually calmed down.That's right. She would meet with Lucas tomorrow. If she didn't solve this knot, which somehow had haunted her in the past too; she wouldn't feel assured.As the time for their meeting slowly approached, Savannah prepared for her clothes; the red long-sleeved ruffle blouse combined with the black long trousers. She picked something simple.She w

Savannah didn't want to talk to Lucas, so she avoided him.She had this vague, uncertain subconscious since she had gone back here. Seeing him and that woman who claimed to be Sofia Dawson, bringing a somewhat uncomfortable feeling.It was frustrating, yet she didn't understand why. No, it wasn't jealousy.She didn't like Lucas that way. The two's relationship was what should be professional between work partners.This frustration was akin to an itch that she couldn't scratch, something she couldn't put her finger on. Yet, she had the feeling that it existed.What is this?A blurry, vague memory surfaced amidst the chaotic mind. Savannah didn't remember exactly, but she had an inkling that it was somehow related to Lucas. She found his face a little familiar.She had brushed it off as the face of a hateful someone who had arrogantly gone against his parent

Sofia carefully knocked on Lucas's office room, her heart somehow felt uneasy. She waited outside Lucas's door after she knocked three times."Enter." The voice that neither warm nor cold rang out. Sofia swallowed silently and pushed open the door.She found Lucas was sitting on his chair as usual with a languid expression. His indifference caused her pupils to shrink. This lukewarm attitude made her somewhat at a loss. She could only bit her lips as she suddenly had a foreboding.However, as soon as that thought entered her head, she shook it off. Wishing that the worst possible scenario in her head won't happen."You called me, Sir?" Sofia asked, she didn't dare to sit without him telling her to. She didn't know what to do."Yes," Lucas nodded without looking up. Then, he gestured with his hand. "Sit."Sofia felt slightly better. This way, her nervousness wouldn't be easily noticed."You may not expect this when I called you here."

It was a little girl with blonde hair around the age of five, someone he had only faintly remember. Yet, now that memory had gradually turned clear.Lucas was standing in a daze, looking at the photo in his grasp with disbelief. How could it be here...?The grandma's words drilled themselves into his mind. Repeating like unending waves. The photos of Amara's mother. It was Savannah.But, how could she look so different now? The current Savannah had the hair of light brown while the little girl named Sofia Dawson had blonde hair."Is this Savannah?" Lucas's words came out abruptly.The grandma looked startled at Lucas's reaction, then tentatively nodded with slight confusion."It was one of the photos of my granddaughter." She didn't address how Lucas called Savannah by her first name. Are they that close?Lucas's hand was trembling slightly as he stared unblinkingly at the figure in the photo. It was a girl sitting on a sofa, unaware

"Let's go." Adrian dragged him excitedly after he exited the car, tugging on his sleeves.Lucas followed the kid's lead as he carefully walked to the familiar house. Adrian had been nagging him to bring him to visit Savannah's house. He couldn't help but give in to the little boy's endless chattering.He knocked to the tightly closed house. For a moment doubting whether there were people in the house or not. He waited. When none was answering, he knocked once again.The one opening the door wasn't Savannah as he somehow expected her to be. It was an old lady with hair fully white. A kind expression on her face as she regarded Lucas with a surprised look.After a moment, he noticed Adrian who was anxiously hanging on Lucas's arm. She smiled kindly at the little boy."Are you coming here to visit Amara? I heard from Janette that Amara has gotten a friend lately." She then moved her attention to Lucas. "And who is this gentleman? Are you the kid's fat

Lucas didn't even know how he must feel right now. His eyes kept on glancing at the phone screen, with a slight shocking feeling that wasn't also quite a shock.It was a piece of news that just randomly popped up since he just casually typed on his phone. Yet, he was the only one that knew what it took to search for such news that would probably bring him more complications.It was the news about Savannah. Lucas knew he shouldn't have to get privy to her affairs, but somehow there was something inexplicable that caused him to do so."Are you alright?" Andrew dumped a few files on the table, his eyes accidentally swept past Lucas' phone on the table and the website of news that hadn't been closed yet.
A Girl From the Past Chapter 42
"Are you alright ... Lucas?" Sofia's soft voice sounded out, stiffly calling his name. Lucas snapped him out of his daze.Lucas looked up to meet Sofia's beautiful face. He found out that she was a rather simple girl after Lucas had caught up with the things regarding her.She always wore simple clothes, the long-sleeved white blazer combined with the black skirt that went down her knees. She also acted more like a quiet girl next door.Lucas looked at her and nodded, he didn't speak anything. Right now, unlike last time that Andrew was sticking and interrupting the two. They were walking side by side of each other in the rather comfortable afternoon, right after they had a meal together.They went to the bookstore as per Sofia's request."Do you have something in mind that's bothering you?" Sofia tilted her head to the side, making her looked more lovely as she voiced her concern. "If you want to talk about it, I am always available."Lucas

Andrew ended up going with the two of them, Lucas and Sofia, nonchalantly squeezing a place and put himself in between the man and the woman with an oblivious expression. Lucas didn't react at that."You can order whatever you find fancy on the menu." Lucas kindly said to Sofia, who was looking rather awkward.Andrew looked at the two and just shook his head, pretending to be innocent. Lucas threw him a glance, making Andrew almost jumped from his seat. However, the man just continued to put on the same oblivious expression as if he didn't know anything.Lucas also found it hard to understand what Andrew was thinking."Alright. Thank you." Sofia said softly, glancing at Lucas before returning her attention to the menu in her hand.Lucas was about to raise his hand and called the waitress when Andrew suddenly spoke. "Savannah, and isn't this Janette? It's a coincidence to meet the two of you here. How about we have lunch at the same table?"L
