WRITER’S POVIt has been exactly a week since Lawrence began working in his father’s company.“Well, I guess I am beginning to fit in. Not like I had another choice. And, I should make my old man happy, isn’t it?” He had said when his closest friend, Charley teased him about this new side of him.Lawrence knew that he must prove to the board members that he is trustable and capable to lead Williams Group in future. Most importantly, he didn’t want to fail his father. Everything has been going well. He worked hand in hand with his contractual wife. He was awed seeing that she seemed more capable than he thought.Today, before the members of the board and the families getting married, he must present the wedding dress and suit to them. His first project.“Come to think of it,” He stopped in his tracks a few feet from the door leading to the washroom, his head tilted and he pondered. Everything had gone smooth and easy against how he had imagined it to be.“Being a Director wasn’t so bad
VERONICA’S POVFor the first time, I felt a part of me soften for Lawrence. Seeing how scared and hopeless he had fallen when he discovered the models for the wedding dress and suit had disappeared.I know, I know how much time he had invested in the project. I heard he had to prove to his father and board how much capable he can be. Poor thing. I wonder where those darn models could be.I suggested he be the model which he agreed to after a bit of disagreement. I guess he realized how he was empty with options. This was the only chance he had left. Our best chance.He followed the dressers into one of the dressing room to get changed into the suit and the rest of the dressers was left to attend to me. I really hoped we were doing the right thing.Minutes later, Jessie briskly walked into the changing room.“Director Lawrence is wanted in the meeting room.” He said.The dressers were already in the finishing touches on my face. I ordered that they hurried up.Almost at the same time,
VERONICA’S POVI went ahead into the dressing room where I had the wedding dress taken off.I was grabbing my purse after I was done undressing when Lawrence swept past me so briskly one would think something bad had happened. Alarmed, I went after him.“Lawrence? Is something wrong?” I called as I took quick strides to meet up with him.Lawrence halted, looked behind his shoulders to see me approaching him with quick steps.“Is something wrong? I mean, you look like you are hurrying off to somewhere...” I repeated.He blinked, confused. “Did I? Urh, actually I’m off to have some cool time with...my friends, yeah...” He said. He might have said friends but I was no fool. I could bet my arms he was off to see his lover.“I don’t know if I will be crossing a line but by any chance, you do have friends right?” he asked seriously.I shrugged. A month ago, I would have boosted with shoulders high up and said yes.His gaze held mine for a second but the next second his head fell back and hi
WRITER’S POVHeartbroken, Veronica had taken a cab that drove her to one of the restaurants around.“Wine...no, a bottle of beer please,” she beckoned to the server. She doubts wine would be enough to soothe the pain she was feeling within her that moment. She hadn’t been in this particular restaurant before, one of these simple looking kind of restaurants but right now that was the least thing in her mind. All she wanted was to drink herself to death.I have no friends, my boyfriend just broke up with me after cheating on me all these while and I am married to a man that currently was having his best time with his lover. She thought and broke into a hysteric laughter.“Wow! Hahahaaha! Isn’t life funny....” Her head fell back and she laughed. A painful laugh that coursed through her chest like a dagger. The thought of Vincent in the arms of that lady broke her heart all over again.To think that he had been cheating on her all these time while giving her flimsy excuses of always be
VERONICA’S POV“Awshh...shit...” I groaned as my teeth grinded. I felt as though a heavy stone had been smashed on my head while I slept. I rolled to the edge of the bed and slowly tried to open my eyes.“Ouuch!!” I cried and quickly shut it back. The window curtains have been opened causing the rays of the sunlight to strike my eyes the moment I opened them.It was weekend, the servants wouldn’t be back until Sunday evening, it couldn’t have been any of them that drew the window blinds open. Then it would be no one else but Lawrence. A soft sigh escaped my lips, then I rolled back to the other edge of the bed, away from the sun rays and slowly I opened my eyes.I tried sitting up and barely managed to. My head wouldn’t stop trying to split open with headache.Fuck, why was my head in so much pain...I dragged myself out of bed and walked to the fridge. I opened it and took out a bottle of water and began to gulp. As I drank, a blurred glint of memory brushed through my head. It came
VERONICA’S POV“Urh, yeah, while I checked for some nice places, I came across this place. What is it called...Rolls and Chills? I think ladies mostly like here and they had some really good reviews in their page.” He said as if he had read my mind.What? he chose here because he read some silly good reviews about them? This was a typical of when your good deeds come to bite your ass. Some of those comments was left by me and my friends when we started to come here and totally fell in love with the place.“Come on, we are here.” He said as he stepped down from the car.I couldn’t ask him to change to a different place. That would be suspicious and yet I feared bumping into my friends here.“Aren’t you coming down?” He pulled open the door.“Urh, erm, of course I am.” I stumbled on my words dragging my jittery legs out of the car.Lawrence and I proceeded into Rolls and Chills. He and the receptionist went over a few things while I stood aside and waited. When he was done, we started t
WRITER’S POVChairman Williams and his wife was having restful time when his brothers came. Jack Williams had come first and without knowing Oliver had entered and then Noah.“Urrh? You are here Jack? Oliver too.” Noah Williams expressed his surprise when he entered and saw that his brothers were all there.“What a timing! Did you three plan this without me knowing?” Chairman Williams exclaimed. He was pleased to see his brothers visit him.“Is anyone there?” He beckoned to any servant available, “Get the best wine there! It is not every time such great timing occurs. The gathering of the Williams!”“Yes, we might as well have a get-together!” Oliver Williams added with a grin.Mrs Williams stood, “Well, you men have fun. I should go get some things done. And, you shouldn’t drink a lot. You must rest well against tomorrow. And all of you! Don’t drink too much.” She added, referring to her husband’s brothers.They took it in good faith and laughed. “You love our brother so much. I am g
LAWRENCE’S POV“Send your driver to come pick me. I am coming over.”Coming over? That’s weird. For all the times I had pleaded with Bianca to come over to my house, she had always turned down the offer. All of a sudden she wants to come over?I was both happy and worried.Sudden? Yes, but it only means Bianca was warming up to me in a good way. She had mostly been reserved around me and asked that I give her time to warm up to me. I didn’t care how long but I was going to let her warm up to at her own pace.I wondered if she wasn’t mad at me again about the news making round about me and Veronica.I just shrugged and waved it off. If she loved me, she would hear my side of the story and seeing as she had offered to come see me, it means she trusts me. That was enough for me.I made to dial Jessie’s number but stopped on a second thought. The housekeepers weren’t meant to be back until later in the evening. I glanced at the wall clock and realized it was almost evening. And Jessie wou
