2024-10-29 19:42:56The rest of the day went smoothly and when I looked at the time I'm shocked to see that I've been here longer than I planned. It's actually been an hour since Pat came in and told me that she was leaving and I told her she could leave. Everything went so fast and I could do nothing but signed in relief , glad that this week was over as I'd been in Mr Grumpy's office for mistakes I did.
Actually what's got into me for the past few weeks. I've been acting strange. I think I bumped into three people and spilled my coffee on them because of my clumpsiness. Whatever it is , it better stop because next time it might be Mr Grumpy and I'd be skined alive .
Just as I was closing my office door I bump into someone the moment I was turning and about to go I hit on someone's chest.
I look up and see Mr Grumpy towering over me despite me wearing high heels and I feel like a dwarf right now. Boy am I gald t

Alex's pov.I've been seating here longer than I can remember. It's been weeks since that incident. And I don't want to talk about it as every flashback makes me want to stab myself a thousand times right now. But it wasn't like I had a choice, I couldn't let him place a single finger on her. He placed me between a rock and a hard place and I ended up making some decisions I knew would shatter her. But she meant everything and I would not want her being hurt because of me.That was the most cruel thing I never thought I'd experience in my life. How could he , I loved her to the core of my heart and seeing her in tears the other day made my heart crash into a thousand pieces.He means everything to her and I wonder how he has the nerve to be selfish and greedy in that kind of manner and had to even stoop so low.How did I fall for his trick.

A little silence filled the room for a few seconds before I had gathered enough words to say to him. "Wait what?....no I can't ", I say and this time I carefully place my coffee mug that is now a little bit cold since I barely had a sip of it. "Why not , give yourself a second chance". "No that doesn't have anything to do with second chances. You're crazy were friends not what you think". "Yes I know that but I want us to be more. We've been friends for a very long time now and I think....". "What! No! There's nothing a being freinds for a long time . You're just out of your mind", I say with venom laced in my voice. I'm now pissed off . He's been my friend but I didn't know that he'd been patiently waiting for me to break up with him so that he could say that he wants me. "This is insane ", this one is going to drive me crazy. Actually all this is just too much to handle. Jean pull yourself togethe

Sunday went by so fast and Eliz finally came back. She filled me in about her amazing weekend with her significant other. She kept filling me in but somethimes and had to call me when I'd get lost in my thoughts. She had commented that I was becoming paler, and she was right. The way I looked was horrible, it was as if was sucking the life out of me. As soon as we finished our binding I went straight to my bedroom and changed into my pyjamas, got inside my bed and dozed off. I wake up to the sound of my alarm the next morning wuth a heavy heart and if you'd ask me when I got some enough sleep I wouldnt even tell you. Two hours after getting into bed I woke up feeling less sleepy and I was up the whole night. My heart and mind at war not even giving me atleast eight hours for some peaceful sleep. It wasn't until two hours back that I was able to get some sleep. I force myself to abandon the warmth of my bed and

I greet them and open my file silenty cursing why I took a long time having the coffee and a few biscuits from the office kitchen. But that was just the beginning.In the next thirty minutes sitting in that room I lost my job and they were getting a new sales manager.

"Jean "I was fast alseep when I heard hand shaking me."Jean, wake up sweetie ."I peaked with one eye with the other snaped shut as the light from the sun rising over the horizon. My stomcah groaned before my mother's warm fingers brushed my tiny belly.I drifted my gaze from the curtain to the ceiling above a smile was spread across her face when my eyes met my mothers crystal green emerald eyes."Good morning princess ."The corner of my mouth turned up at the very sight of her forming a warm smile on my face. I sat up straight and "Good morning mom."I flipped my blankets throwing myself into her arms. Beacuse of my light weight she picked me up with ease and headed to the bathroom where I found the bathtub already filled and I threw my clothes carelessly on the floor leaving them on the floor for my mother to pick right after I brushed my teeth
