When we returned to the office, it was only 12:40 p.m. Almost all the lights in the departments were turned off, even my colleagues at work were al asleep. I slowly went to my seat and was about to sit down when Nick woke up. This guy has a sharp I immediately smiled at her and sat in my seat."Hey, how's your walk going, sir? Are you full?" he asked, smiling at me.I belched suddenly and looked around, luckily no one woke up. Andrea suddenly laughed at me."Hahahaha, don't answer. I already know!" he answered lamely, followed by another question, "Is Hailey a nice person to you?"The way that he asked this question, as if he really knows Hailey from the very start. "She's so much fun to be around!" I answered. "And believe it or not, we treated each other like sisters!"I wasn't able to detail the whole thing, especially when Hailey showed her bad side. That incident was really bad and I think it will be imprinted on my mind forever."Well," Nick said as he seemed not impressed wit
I peed and went out of the comfort room to wash my face. Damn! This is my first time experiencing I've ever been gossiped in my entire life and the pain is heart-wrenching. When I returned to the office, I saw Hailey glancing at her cell phone in front of my area. She was wearing a plain red shirt and her face was beautiful even without make up. I took a few steps before she looked at me and greeted me with a smile. "Hey sis, shall we go now?" she asked. "Sorry I was really busy a while ago with my work!" I went to my area and took my things while taking to Hailey. "That's okay, I am not in a hurry." "Wait a minute, what is your social media account or even just a cellphone number? Our email is for business purposes, so it's better if we communicate by other means!" I gave her my number and social media account. She sent a friend request to me, and I immediately accepted her. We walked to the parking lot until I saw her brand new Mercedes. My jaw dropped on the floor because of it
Hailey smirked. "What does she call you when she's mad?""She called me a fucking bitch. I know that sounds so harsh, but I am used to being called by that!""Well at least you've got a mom who called you that. I guess I need to tell my dad to call me bitch whenever he is mad as well!""Trust me, it's very humiliating if someone beside your mom called you that. But as for Sir Joseph, I think it's impossible for him to call you a bitch. It's not on his character if you ask me!""Okay, please answer me... I want to know your sincere opinion about me and my dad. What is your initial impression? Regardless if it's bad or good. All I care is your honesty!"I felt like in a hot seat. Of course, I am either frank or liar depending on the situation. If I give her a complimentary statement, she would think that I am a social climber, but if I am being too honest to tell the truth, she might get offended. I decided to play safe this time."I think it's better if we try to do it sooner or later.
"Sure, Nick is a nice person as well!" Hailey said with a serious voice.From the way Hailey spoke up, I can really feel that she is not yet ready to face Nick. The fact that she used me to communicate with him adds up to my suspicion that they have something in the past."Please don't tell him that Justin is coming as well!" said Hailey.I followed Hailey, I did not say that there is another person coming.I replied to Nick. "I asked Hailey and she agreed!""That's great. Just chat me the address of that bar so I can use my motor to go there!" Nick replied with a heart emoji at the end.I sent the complete address of the bar to Nick then I received a notification on my phone. I looked at it and my eyes widened in shock. Justin sent me a friend request. I was shaking like hell. I feel I am the most beautiful on Earth.Hailey looked at me. "What happened? You looked pale!""No... it... it's nothing. I just could not believe that Justin sent me a friend request. I know it's a stupid que
Not too long, we arrived inside the bar and sat on a round table. The sound was too loud we could not hear people talking and only the disco ball illuminated the area. Later on, a waiter with a menu on his hand."Good day, may I ask what is your order?" he asked in a polite way, looking at Hailey.Hailey took the menu from his hand and inquired the waiter."What would you like to offer for a moderate drinker like us?""Caipirinha, Margarita, Cosmopolitan, Mojito, Pina Colada, and Californication!" the waiter answered."How about for the heavy drinker?" Hailey asked the waiter again."Beers, Polmos Spirytus Rektyfikowany Vodka, Everclear 190, Hapsburg Absinthe XC, and Devil's Springs Vodka!""Okay, give us one case of beers!" Hailey gazed at me. "What would you like to drink? It's on me!"Honestly, I did not know any of those cocktails as I only know some street beverages."Ah, I'd like to drink Margarita!""Alright, I will also order that. Please also add sisig, boneless wings, mozzar
I admit, I was not comfortable with the way Justin kissed me. Hailey noticed my awkward movements so she came on my defense."Justin, please be easy on Stella. She ain't used to aggressive guys so please stop making her feel embarrassed!"Nick suddenly held my hand and placed his mouth next to my ears. "Please, stay away from that man. I can tell you right now that he's just after your body. Don't let him get closer to you!"I just smiled at Nick in response to his advice. I took my beer and broke the awkward situation."Guys, let's have some fun. We are here to enjoy, right?" I shouted, trying to overcome the loud sound of the music.I was beyond happy as Hailey supported my statement. "You're right, we are here to celebrate our flourishing friendship!" She took her wine and took a sip.Nick and Justin also drank beers. Finally, they have decided to break the tension before it got worse."Hey Stella, how long have you been working in Hailey's company?" Justin asked."Few days," I rep
My face reddened in excitement. I really thought he was not aware of what was happening, and yet I was wrong."Wait, I was just kidding... I was planning on letting you inside the car so you can sleep there!" I replied.He ignored me and we exited the bar. I saw his Porsche car parked outside, not suitable to the place. As a matter of fact, everyone passing by could not help but to take a picture of his car.He opened the front seat of his car and repeated his words with a serious face. "Go inside, Stella... I'll drive you home!"I was really intimidated by his voice so I dared not to complain and went inside. Like Hailey's car, his Porsche is something to behold. I could not believe that I am able to ride on beautiful cars today, not to mention that my driver is pretty damn hot.He closed the door and went to the drivers' seat. He went to my seat and helped me fasten my seatbelt. I can still smell the beer on his mouth and the perfume on his undershirt."Just wait, are you really sur
"Relax, hiding is something I am gifted for. I'll make sure that even my shadow won't be noticed by your mom!"We arrived in my house at exactly 12 a.m. in the morning. It was so silent at this time that I can only hear very little noise from the surroundings.I was pissed off at myself because I was having a hard time removing myself from the seatbelt. Justin was just staring at me as the entire time, laughing without sound."Oh gosh, can't you see I'm struggling? Remove this damn thing before I lose my cool!"I was stunned for a while with the way he looks at me. His eyes were sparkling like he was enjoying looking at my face."Sorry, I can't take off my eyes when I see a beautiful girl when she's pissed off!"He approached me and removed the seatbelt from my body. I took a deep breath, smelling his earthy scent body is really something that turns me on. This time, I wanted to share my bed with him and cuddle with him for the rest of the night.After removing the seatbelt, he looked
"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. "Sir, you are r
"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
Tomorrow morning, I went to my office at exact 6:30 a.m. The lights on different departments are still turned off so I went to office's cafeteria in order to have some coffee. Until this very moment, I still could accept the fact that Nick is upset with me!When I got my coffee, I quickly returned to my office and I was shocked when I saw Nick sitting on my table and looking at me with a serious face. Then he tilted his mouth to speak. "Are you surprise that I am here, Stella?" "Why are you here? 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!"
"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
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
