Cleaning up the mess

Head high…Chin upAnd…smile.Lisa stared at her reflection in the large bathroom mirror while reciting her mantra in her head. She reapplied mascara on her long lashes and added an extra layer of red to her already red lips. The knock she had been expecting finally came on the door. She didn’t go out immediately; she did her breathing exercises before opening the door. Outside, Sally, her Personal Assistant was waiting for her. “The Press are ready for you, ma.” She reminded politely.Lisa nodded and offered her a small smile before heading to the door that separated her from over hundred hungry news mongers that were ready to detect even the slightest fluctuation in her emotions and land her in nearly all front pages. She had chosen a not-too-in-the-face, one piece, white dress with green floral designs, matching it with a dark green pair of heels and her favorite Chanel bag. By the door, her husband stood, waiting for her. He wore a black Armani suit.She approached him and adjus...

Memories
“It must be hard for you. Don’t you want to admit it?”Lisa halted again and turned to the pale woman. How could she not know it was a trap to get to her? “Do have a safe trip, Ms. Cornwell.”She walked back to her car and let the chauffeur drive off. “Are we heading back to the office, Ma’am?” Sally asked carefully from the shotgun seat. She could tell just how tired the woman at the back was.Lisa sighed. “Take me home. Postpone all my schedule to tomorrow.” “Yes, ma.” Sally tactfully agreed. Despite that the meetings were of huge importance; she could tell her boss was nowhere in the mood to work.The car drove into a large, beautiful villa, stopping right at the door. When she alighted, the driver drove off to park the car. Lisa strolled into the house while the maids rushed out to collect her bag from the car, echoing their greetings as they walked by her. She stopped by the door to kick off her shoes and change into a pair of comfy home slippers before heading straight up

Inner Demons
Lisa jerked out of her train of thoughts, grabbing her phone almost immediately. Looking at the caller’s ID, she sighed, deliberating whether to pick up the call or ignore it. Just then, a soft rap came on the door. “Who’s that?” “Dinner is ready, ma.” A maid’s voice sounded from outside.She sighed. “I’ll be down in a bit.” She replied without bothering to open the door. She then returned her attention to her phone and put it quietly on her ear. “Hello, Dad.” Maybe because she was a bit tired, her voice was crackly as she fought back tears from her eyes. “I saw the news. You handled it quite well. I am proud of you.”Even if he couldn’t see her, she smiled wryly with a ‘hmm’. She had not expected him to say anything less but somehow, in her heart of hearts, she had hoped he would ask after her. Even if he didn’t mean it. “The Chinese agency called.” “Oh! Did they?” After the press release, she had been so tired and had gone straight home. Sally was yet to update her.He g

Belinda
Raymond kept his word and showed up early for Lisa’s mother’s birthday party. Lisa had returned home that evening and was quite surprised to see him home, sitting comfortably in the sitting room. Perhaps, because she was used to having the big mansion all to herself. “You’re back.” He greeted and she hummed in reply, caught off guard by his gentlemanly attitude. “Don’t stare at me like you have seen a ghost. I promised to come, didn’t I? Well, I am here.” He turned to the maid nearby. “Quick. Take madam’s things to her room and set the table for two.” His gaze returned to her, “We’ll be having dinner together.”Lisa looked at him in surprise. Well, that was Raymond North. One minute, he was the guy who slept around with nearly all the ladies in town, and the next, he is back to acting all loving like the best husband ever. She chuckled dryly when the maid left to carry out his bidding. “Are you okay?”The smug smile on his face irked her. “What? Isn’t it what you wanted?” “You d

Seamless Lie.
Lisa’s brows furrowed. Now, she was really curious about the gazes she got. Plus, Belinda’s naughty smirk irritated her. “Did something happen?”The other ladies exchanged known glances as if deliberating if to let the cat out of the bag. On Belinda’s face was a dirty smirk, like she was about to face an enemy. Now, Lisa had no doubt there was trouble. “Oh! It’s actually nothing. I just got an exciting piece of information. Would you like to hear it?”On a normal day, Lisa would have turned it down without a second thought. Belinda was no bearer of good news, but now, with nearly everybody’s gaze on her, she was indeed willing to hear whatever piece of information it was. She nodded, swallowing the lump in her throat.Belinda didn’t rush. She raised her glass to her lips to take a sip of wine, her face still carrying the dirty smirk. “Well apparently, your beloved husband was seen seconds ago fucking one of those girls on a black uniform; whoever they are.”Lisa froze. Of all the ex

Caught In The Act
Belinda watched Lisa leave hand in hand with Raymond, her face nearly tearing up in anger. How could she not tell! The bitch had done it just to infuriate her!Her glass fell from her hand, scattering into a million pieces as they hit the floor. Around her, the other ladies were dead silent, but it seemed like their every eye movement was intended to mock her. She hated this! Hated the feeling of being at the losing end. Hated to be mocked by these low-life socialites who were not even up to her level. “I’ll see who dares to leak a word of this to the public.” She threatened, her eyes glaring daggers at them. Maintaining her graceful poise at this point was hard for her but suddenly remembering that she might be watched by one of the nosy reporters, she quickly adjusted her expression and turned to the lady who had whispered into her ears earlier. “Are you sure of what you saw?”The lady stuttered. “I-I don’t know. The man looked so much like her husband.” Even if Lisa had proven

Wipe Away The Bad Dream
Lisa let out a tired smile. It was supposed to be her mother’s birthday! How the hell did it turn into some sort of meeting? She approached a tall table with a smile. She didn’t dare show the fatigue on her face. She reached out and grabbed a glass of wine from one of the waitresses. It reminded her of Belinda’s words earlier. The thought of receiving wine from the same whore who slept with her husband barely hours ago irked her. “There she is.”Lisa jerked out of her reverie, turning to see her mother approaching her. “Hey, mom.” “Lisa…”She rolled her eyes. “Did dad come complaining to you again?”She shrugged. “Maybe. He said you left without meeting all the people he wanted you to meet.”Lisa took a large gulp of wine before replying to the woman standing opposite her. “All the people literally meant ninety-nine percent of your guests. You should know dad by now.”She nodded with a smile. “What do you think? I knew he wouldn’t stop bugging me till I came here to talk to you.”

Frustrating mornings
Lisa was fuming by the time she got to the office. Even her entire staff could feel it! Their boss wasn’t the usual smiling boss but they had never seen her this mad. “I demand an explanation!” She barked at Sonia. First, it was Raymond who had gone out right after dropping her home and didn’t return for the entire night. Not like it was the first time, but she had a hard time pushing the picture of him in the arms of another woman behind her. “I am so sorry, ma.” Sonia was frantic. She prayed she wouldn’t lose her job. “The driver only reached out to me this morning to take a leave. I have tried reaching him since but—” “I am two hours late for the meeting. I lost a contract worth billions of dollars. Will your excuse make up for that?” She growled at the quivering lady, ignoring the warnings of her heart to calm down. Her entire body was bursting with anger and she needed an outlet. Her chauffeur provided her with one when he didn’t show up at the usual time to pick her up to

Bad Days...
Lisa leaned on the door of the car as it slowly drove down the highway. It had become like a little tradition for her to lean by the window each time she sat in it. Perhaps, it was Raymond’s senseless behavior that caused it. If he had been kind enough not to fill her schedule with his reckless act of ‘love making’.She sighed loudly, her eyes traveling to the rare-view mirror where she found her assistant staring at her. The minute she caught her eyes, the lady quickly turned her head and pretended to be busy on the phone. “You have something to say, Sonia?” Although Lisa could tell what the poor girl had in mind, she needed some kind of distraction to keep the sorrow that was threatening to swallow her whole every single time. “N-nothing ma.” Sonia swallowed hard, her every action showing how scared she was. It was not easy to forget how angry her boss had been barely hours ago.Lisa sighed. “You pity me, don’t you?”Sonia broke into a sudden fit of cough. It wasn’t exactly what

The Press...
What now?! Lisa wasn’t sure she was ready for just another bad news when her assistant broke it to her. Lexi Conglomerate just got awarded the contract she was in a hurry to get. It wouldn’t have been painful if the CEO of Lexi Conglomerate wasn’t Mr. Thompson.Mr. Davis Thompson; her company’s biggest rival.The same man that was behind the downfall of her company many years ago when her father was still CEO. Up till that moment, she didn’t understand why he was after her company.Was it some sort of unsettled grudge between him and her father? Why didn’t any of them let her know about it?She shrugged, laughing wryly. “I guess that explains it.” The Cops appearing within seconds after the accident, the delay, arresting her driver because they knew she couldn’t drive.Gosh! Why didn’t she think of it from the start?Sonia swallowed, not knowing what to say. From their interrupted conversation in the car, her boss obviously hated being pitied. “Find a cab. We’ll have to head over t
