While I was waiting for Nick to arrive, I received a chat message from Hailey.

"Hey, where the f*ck are you, Stella? Why did you leave my party without asking my permission? Do you know how dangerous it is to travel alone in the middle of the night?"

At the back of my mind, I wanted to slap her on the face and asked why did she humiliate me in front of my friend. But since I am still her assistant, all I can do now is to lie again to her.

"Sorry, my stomach is upset right now so I need to go ahead. I am so sorry Hailey!"

"Why are you always lying to me Stella? I thought we are like sisters!"

I don't know what to reply to Hailey anymore so I just seen her message. The rain got worse and I found myself alone inside the shelves. I received another chat from Hailey.

"Hey, do not be so fucking rude! I am talking to you Stella! Where are you? It is raining heavy outside and I know you don't bring an umbrella!"

"Hailey, I will just grab a taxi so you don't need to worry about me!"

    The days passed and Hailey kept on being cold to me, on the contrary, my constant interaction with my father makes me realize that it is time to let go of my anger and personally talk to my mom. "Do you have a time? I would like to talk to you, Mom!" I said after going back to my work. She pulled out a chair for me and let me sit. "You looked so serious, Stella! Please have a sit!"I sat on the chair and took a deep sigh before speaking to my mom. "What is going on?" she asked after seating in front of me."Mom, can we talk about my father? I mean, this is regarding our plans!""And what about our plan?""Mom, you are already happy with the man that you have right now and I am so glad with the blessings that we received!""What is your point exactly?" she asked, crossing her arms over her chest. "I think this is the right time to forgive my father... I mean, we should move on with our life right now!""Do you hear yourself, Stella? Have you forgotten that your father abandoned you

    At exact 7:30 in the morning when I got to the office. As expected Hailey pays no attention to me as if I am invisible to her. She does not want to talk unless it was related to my work. But I just keep on working until one day, my father Joseph arrives at Hailey's office.Hailey stood up, "dad? What is going on? Do you want something from me?" Hailey asked."Do you have a minute? I just want to talk to you regarding your performance!" he said, smiling at Hailey. "Sure!" she said, smiling back at her father. She glanced at me and raised her voice. "Get the hell out of here! Me and my dad is going to have a personal conversation!"I held the door knob when Hailey's father spoke to me, "No Stella! I would also like to talk to you about this!"I sat down in front of my father and Hailey seated on her chair as well. I was so fucking nervous this time and I cannot stop shaking. I was surprised when my father held my hand ang gave me a smile. "Don't worry or don't be afraid, Stella! I kno

    This time, I could feel the rising tension happening inside Hailey's office. I wanted to leave but I know I am the only one who can calm them down!"Hailey, I beg you not to yell at your father. He has a heart condition which will get worse if he continue stressing himself. If you want, I can resign from my position and you will never see me again!"Hailey left her office without saying any words. I looked at Sir Joseph and he spoke to me with a calm voice. "Stella, I am so sorry for what you have witnessed! As the president of this company, I highly regarded employees as the best asset of my team and I put all those who worked hard in a higher position!""But what about Hailey sir? I know that she worked really hard for her position as well and that is a fact!""Don't mind about Hailey, she is not as smart as you. Even though she is my daughter, I know that she is not qualified enough to become the Chief Marketing Officer and you obviously have the potential to become one!"I am not

    "Okay fine Hailey. Do whatever you want!" I said.I went to Sir Michael's office but I knocked on the door before entering. I know that he might be busy doing a lot of things inside. As soon as he opened the door, I smiled at him and greeted him happily. "Good afternoon Sir Michael, I came here to personally give you the documents you need to sign!"He did not smile at me and it looks like he does not want me to come inside. He took one of the documents and review it. I slightly frowned because the documents were quite heavy."Would you like me to help you?" said a familiar voice.I turned around and I saw my boyfriend Nick in polo shirt. He gave me a rakish smile and I admit, it really paved away the sadness in my face. "Sure!" I answered. "Nick, go back to your area! I sent you an email to you and you need to accomplish it before 6:00 in the evening!"I am not stupid not to know that Michael intentionally let Nick leave instead of helping me carry the documents inside his damn of

    Nick looked at me with hesitation. "But Stella, are you really sure about it?"I smiled at him with teeth out. "Of course I am! It will not take too long, I swear!"I put my phone on the table to record the conversation between Hailey and Nick. I dragged my feet towards towards the line and I could not help but to stare at them. I was kind of nervous because they seemed so comfortable with each other. But I have them monitored and later after my work, I will play my recording of their conversation. A few minutes later, I went back to our table and I immediately put my phone inside my pocket. I immediately kissed Nick on his cheeks and asked him. "Did you miss me?""How can I not?" he said."So may I know what you were talking about earlier with Hailey? Based on what I have seen, you two are getting along with each other so well already!"Hailey gave me a long face. "What the hell are you talking about? Are you feeling jealous over shallow things? We only talked about our past memorie

    When I went back to my house, I quickly played the recording on my phone and I have concluded that Nick and Hailey planned to meet tomorrow after the work. It really pisses me off knowing that he is going to betray me like this. I am the one who only owns my boyfriend and Hailey is just a nightmare throwback for Nick. However, in as much as I would like to confront Nick, I know that he would still deny that there is something going on between him and Hailey. And because I am now superior to Hailey, I need to act more matured than her so that Nick will still choose me over to her. I am willing to forget about my friendship with Hailey if that is the only way I can be with Nick for the rest of my life.While I am eating in the middle of the night, my stepfather suddenly came out.

    "But when I confronted him earlier about this, he does not want to talk! And I am afraid that this is not the first time it will happen!""I understand where you are coming from, but it really needs a teamwork in order for a relationship to work. Try to talk to him if that what makes you comfortable!""How about you, if you were in the same position, are you going to confront the person who is flirting with mom or are you going to talk to her directly?""I will choose to talk to both of them since they are doing it together. However, I trusted your mom because she is matured enough to handle a relationship. This is totally different in your age, Stella. Your boyfriend is handsome and I know that there are many women who will try to steal him from you and it's gonna be challenging to trust him! But as I said, as long as he is not cheating with another woman or a gay, you need to put your trust in him!""Thank you, Peter! I know that you've got problems on your own but you still choose

I thought you were upset with me?""I told you already... we need to talk... heart to heart while nobody is around. In that way, we can assure that we have no future problems!"I closed the damn door and went to my area. I put my coffee on the table and leaned on my chair. "And what would you like to talk about?""I believe you still remember our previous chat!"I crossed my arms over my chest. "If this is regarding me stepping down to give way for Hailey, Nick... that ain't gonna happen!"

    "What the fuck is going on here?" I asked in wonder then I slapped Nick' face."Sorry Stella... since you are no longer having sex with me and I am so fucking obsessed with Hailey's body, I have sex with her many times!"I slapped Hailey's face as well but she fought back with a slap."What the fuck are you doing? I am in a relationship with Nick again and I fulfill his needs as a guy! You took everything away from me, Stella so it's unfair if I do not return the favor!"I looked at Nick seriously. "Mark my words, I am not breaking up with you!"He tried explaining to me but I ignored him.The following days, neither Hailey nor Nick were present in their works and it makes me curious if they are still together. Then I went to my area when Nick suddenly called me. As the ex-girlfriend, I think that I should let him go and I need to find another guy that I will love for the rest of my life. But Nick is such a persistent guy and he does not give up calling me so I answered him once and

    Tomorrow morning when I woke up, I quickly took a shower when I heard my phone ringing again. I thought it was not an emergency so I just continued showering. When I got out of the damn comfort room, I took my phone and guess what? I was shocked when I heard from Sir Michael a bad news. "Stella, can you come to my office? It's about Sir Joseph! He suddenly collapsed on the floor and he was rushed by Hailey at the hospital!"I really thought it was just another fake news so I called Sir Michael. "Hello? What happened?" I said the moment he answered my call. "As I said on the chat, Sir Joseph is now in the hospital. I know that telling you about this does not make any difference but you need to go to the hospital!""What is the findings?""I really don't know about that but you should come to the hospital and update us about what happened!"In as much as I would like to go there, I know that Hailey will not allow me to come because we are still not in speaking terms.

    "No thanks! I am tired and all I wanted to do is to rest!"Nick did not answer me and he just waited for me silently. I know that he is upset so I no longer talked to him. Now I have come to realize that he is probably having an affair with Hailey but I need to confirm it with my own eyes, to see is still to believe! At 6:30 in the evening, I went to my father's office and talked to him again. "So what is your final decision?" he said, looking at me with serious eyes. "Because honestly, I am going to be very disappointed if you leave your position so I have realized that I need to revise your contract if that's what you really want. I will make your salary twice with how much you earned today!"I was not illuminated by the money he is going to offer me and I will stick with my decision to resign. "I am so sorry Sir Joseph but I have already made up my mind. I think that this is the right time for me to resign. Again I am so sorry but I have already made up my mind!"He let out a fr

    "Don't worry Stella, we only talked about a few things and you should not worry yourself about a lot of stuff!""How can I not worry about a lot of stuff she is like a leech that follows you wherever you go?""Don't look at me like that. It's not even my fault if she is trying to seduce me again. More importantly, would you like me to take order for you or would you like to order on your own?""I wanted you to order for me. The same food and please order me extra rice!""Okay, I noticed that you are gaining weight because you are taking too much rice so I won't buy extra rice!"I frowned. "And now, my weight is already a big deal to you? Are you going to break me up if I became obese?""Of course! Although, do not get the wrong idea. You need to discipline yourself and control your weight because it will indicate whether you are healthy or not!""Nick... only boys have an issue like that with women. How about me? Even if you gain weight, I will still love you because of who you are. I

    I quickly defended Hailey from my dad's rant. "Please Sir Joseph, this has nothing to do with Hailey! I swear... my decision is not something to do with her or with anyone. Later after my shift, I will pass my resignation to you!"Sir Joseph looked dismayed with what he has heard from my mouth. I expected that he would do something to stop me from stepping down as the Chief Marketing Officer. "But what could possibly the reason of your resignation? Is it personal or you've been assigned to do a lot of works? I hope to get your true answer regarding this!""Well... I really am still navigating to do my job as the Chief Marketing Officer and I have come to realize that it is more stressful than my previous job. So I think I am too young to be stressed out that is why I am resigning from this position!""But, isn't it too soon decide on this matter? I believe in your potential, Stella! I know that you are capable of making a better decision on this matter. I know that it's so damn stre

    "Is that so? But why are you acting that way? I am very sure that Nick said something to you that makes you really sad. I wonder if he's losing interest in having a relationship with someone as immature as you are. Seriously, having a boyfriend like him does not suit you well... bitch!"I've really had enough of Hailey being a bitch to me so I returned those words back to her. "Well... I would rather be a real person in front of a bitch rather than being a fake like someone in front of me!""So you want a trouble again? Are you being so arrogant now because you are in that position? Because you stole Nick from me and broke our promise?""First of all, I am not starting a trouble here. I just want you to know that you are getting in my nerves and I know for a fact that you are the ones manipulating Nick to do something against me. I don't even think that it makes me arrogant if I'm being rude to someone who does not show me respect!"She looked at me as if she is confused. "What the f
