"Guys you know what, I have a f*cking friend who is like a leech who will do everything for the sake of money. But sorry not sorry, I am not going to make her shine brighter than me!"I know that I am the one she is referring to but I pretended to just smile. Deep inside I am aware that she is referring to me. Hailey is neither drunk nor out of her mind so I cannot understand why she suddenly changed her attitude towards me. It does not make any sense.Unfortunately, Hailey got drunk and she unexpectedly opened up her problems to her friends. "You know what, I am honestly disappointed that my ex-boyfriend no longer has feelings for me and all I can do now is for them to admit that they are in a relationship!"Damn! I have never thought that Hailey already knows that I am in a relationship with Nick. Now, I don't have any friends so I went to the bathroom and called Nick. "Hello?" I said to him. "Hello Stella, are you having fun there?" he asked. "I hope that is true but I am havin
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!"She no lo
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. "What's with the long face?" He asked me. I smiled at my stepfather, "there is something to worry about!""Would you mind if I sit down? I just want to talk to you personally!"I don't see anything wrong wit
