I just exhausted my brain thinking about a lot of stuff until I fell asleep. But I never thought that I would see my father in my dreams. Although, for some reason, my mouth wouldn't open to say something, the only thing I remembered was when he called me daughter and came to asked for forgiveness for all the sins he had committed against me and my mother.
The only reason I realized I was crying was because he wiped the tears on my face with his hand. But why didn't I become enraged when he smiled at me and addressed me as a daughter? When I felt the warm embrace of a father who had been separated from me for a long time, I felt extreme happiness. I snapped out of my daydream and frowned. I woke up due to the alarm clock on my phone, which I put behind my pillow.
I got pissed off and accidentally dropped my fucking phone on the floor. Then I heard footsteps approaching my room. So, my spirit woke up, and I immediately picked up my cellphone. It's good that it has a case and doesn't have any scratches.
As expected, my mother knocked on the door. That girl really has a sharp ear. I accidentally dropped our plastic glass the other night, but she was already in my room and nagging at me in less than five minutes, which is very typical.
I was too lazy to walk to the door even though it was just a few steps away from my bed, so I responded to her by yelling. I know that she will just ask what was the sound she heard.
"NOTHING! I JUST DROPPED MY CELLPHONE!"
The spirit of sleep escaped my body when she yelled at me. I feel like even our neighbors heard her loud voice.
"IT'S 6:00 A.M.! Aren't you in a hurry? Isn't your office in Makati?"
I looked at my cellphone, and it was true! I opened the door, put my mother aside. I immediately ate my breakfast. I was lucky because we already had marinated chicken for breakfast and had some bread and coffee. While I was eating, she continued yelling at me, and my ears hurt so much.
"See? That's what happened when you were using your cellphone in the middle of the night! FYI, I've been waking you up for a while now, but you're not responding, so I thought you were dead. Be thankful that I am your mother and that I am taking care of you!"
I rushed through my meal so I could get dressed and leave right away. Fortunately, my body is already awake because of my mother's irritating voice. Damn, I dressed in less than 20 minutes! My mother complimented me on my corporate attire, which we bought at a cheap price. I didn't have time to talk to her, so I just kissed her goodbye after she gave me 10 dollars.
I was very well dressed and feeling fresh when I left the house, but as soon as I got on the tricycle, the smoke of different vehicles got into my clothes. Not only that, my clothes crumpled on the tricycle, and when I arrived at the building where I will work, I looked like a jerk in the eyes of different people. The comfort room in this building is actually way better than the dining area of our house. Not to mention that it was also equipped with high technology, as the toilets and sinks flushed without touching them.
After filling out my name in the lobby, I went up to the 20th floor where the office of Asia Brewery and Cocktails, my father's multibillion-dollar company, is located. As expected, there was a nice, hot boy who assisted me. I was shy to ask his name, so I just stole a glance at his small name tag on his chest.
He walked me inside Sir Michael's office, and I gave her an appreciative grin afterwards as a way to say thank you. I didn't hear anything from his lips, but his only response was a smile before he left me in the department of Sir Michael, which is the one who accepted me.
He gently curled his lips into a smile and stood up. "Good morning Stella! It's nice to see you in person again!"
I was so amazed to hear his manly voice accent again!
"Thank you so much sir! I highly appreciate you accepting me for this job. I promised to do my best!" My English is not as good as his, but I guess he understood what I just said.
Sir Michael fixed his eyes on me and went in front of me. "You should have confidence in yourself. Let me introduce you to the people you will work with!"
We went outside, and in his office, the employees of his department stood up. I feel that I am too important to interrupt them in what they are doing. Sir Michael put his arm around my shoulder and spoke in a loud voice.
"I would like you to welcome the new part of our family, Ms. Stella!"
"Welcome!" said the boy with the name tag Bryant on his uniform. His lips pulled up in a broad smile.
I've got to admit, he is the most handsome employee I've ever seen in this building. His body is fit and has a very deep dimples. I shoved away the negative thoughts in my mind and just focused on what was happening at the moment.
A very hot girl corporate attire walked by the hallway, stealing attention from me. Her hair is in an Shaggy Bob Haircut with Bangs and I can smell her perfume even though she is far away from me.
Almost all the men in our department were thrilled and all the attention of the employees was focused on her. I exhaled an irritated sigh. I am a real woman and I got really jealous when I saw Bryant's eyes sparkled the moment he saw the girl. The woman gazed at our department and smiled. I raised an eyebrow at her, but luckily I was only on the edge of her sight. The moment she left, I blurted out a question to Sir Michael.
"Who is she, Sir Michael?" I asked with a frown.
He gleamingly smiled and responded. "Her name is Hailey. Actually, she is the only daughter of Sir Joseph and heir to this company. So please, once you see her anywhere, try to greet her!"
My hair stood up, and my eyes widened in shock. I had no idea that my father had another daughter who I think is similar to my age. I never saw her in all the articles I read, so my mind was disturbed.
"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
