The staff has ceased the day's work and Melanie is seen standing outside the company waiting for the available cab. She waves to the staff that greet her on the way home.She watches as they all drive off in their various cars; she feels jealous of them, but since they seem to be better off than her, she shrugs off the cast-down feelings and keeps a watch for any cab that passes by.“Ma’am,” March, her assistant calls out to her, running in her high heels to meet up with her. “Why are you not leaving? Waiting for someone?” She asks, grinning as she stares at Melanie’s face.“Hmmm, I am not waiting…”Melanie is still saying when a car pulls to a halt in front of them, almost crushing their toes. Melanie peep to have a good look at the crazy driver only to behold Kayla smirking devilishly at them.“You fucking cop!” Melanie hollers at her. She whirls her gaze to March and apologises on her friend’s behalf.“Yo, baby!” Kayla laughs heavily, peeling off her shade glasses.“What are you do
Mr Gordon drives inside the Company carport. He open the car door and stuck a foot out of the car. He peep through the mirror, eye searching for Melanie but he couldn't see her anywhere outside the company.‘Did she leave already?’ he thought, his eyes roaming around, searching for her one more time before deciding to put a call across to her.“Shit!” he cursed under his breath, “Did she hail a cab?” He arches his brows. “That doesn't make any sense.” He sighs. He rests his head on the backrest.“Or is she still busy with work?” He flung his eyes open at the thought of Melanie working an extra hour. “I swear I'm so going to sue uncle if he dares stress her.” He spat angrily. It's just her first day, why would he throw a bunch of tasks at her?He hasn't called his uncle in age, and he never thought he would be calling him anytime soon, but there he is, dialling his uncle's line.“Yes, Dad. Good afternoon.” He greets his uncle with gritted teeth.“Son! How are you? Have you closed for to
Kayla stops the engine when they get to the front of the mansion. She notifies Melanie that she will be coming in, next time.“Are you sure you will be visiting me here?” Melanie arch her brows, she knew her friend like the back of her palm. Kayla is invariably busy that she wonders if she can spare time to visit her. “Have I ever made an erroneous promise to you in the past?” Kayla ask with her mouth flung open.“Nah,” Melanie giggles, hitching the back of her neck. “I’m just asking to be sure, you know, you are a cop and you are always busy.” she laughs at herself.“Nonsense! I'm never busy when it comes to you. I'm sure you know that.” Kayla glares hard at her.“Hey, don't give me that face. I'm just stating what I know.” Melanie laugh widely making Kayla wiggle her mouth at her.“You are stating rubbish.” They both laugh.“Drive safely,” Melanie says, stepping down from the car.“My regards to your crush.” Kayla winks and Melanie hide her face away from her.She waves at Kayla, th
Melanie eat her food silently, she curse them both under her breath as they left her all by herself. She decided to tease Archie so she stretch her hand and pick meat from his plate.Archie groans and picks two from her plate. Melanie gasp loudly grasping the attention of Mr Gordon.“Why did you take two types of meat when I only take one from your plate?” Melanie hollers, she glared at Archie and he stuck out his tongue at her.“That’s what you get for stealing from me.” He laughs and Melanie stares at him in surprise.“Me? Steal?” She scoffs, “It calls taking not stealing. I took it not steal it.” She snaps at him.“Yeah, whatever.” Archie laugh. “Name it whatever you want.” He mutters.“Then I'm going to take everything from you.” Mr grabs his plate and put it in her front.“That’s worst than stealing.” Archie laughs, stands up and jumps on her back.“Hey, what are you doing?” Melanie yells, laughing as she hit him lightly on his back.Mr Gordon drops his spoon, stands up from his
Melanie is not expecting the question. She wonder if he went to pick her up after she left. The look on his face tells that he knew she left with someone but doesn't know who.“My friend, Kayla picked me up.” She let out truthfully. “She took me to my old apartment, that was the reason why I came home late.” She says with a soft smile.“I didn't know. I'm sorry.” Mr Gordon mutter lowly, he releases his hand from her shoulder and slowly looks away from her.“I have no idea of what happened, I thought you went with someone else so I resent you for leaving without me.” He sighs, and Melanie smiles at him, even though he can not see it.She understands who he is referring to and she wonders what is wrong with her riding inside Andy's car. “I didn't even see him before leaving. It wasn't him.” She laughs and pulls his hand so he can face her.“Hey,” Mr Gordon yells. “Don’t laugh, it's not funny.” He groans and pulls her for a hug.Melanie smile, this man can be a baby. “Were you worried ab
The bell chimes for the end of classes. Archie is the first to always get out of class since he has no friends he would be waiting for. Don't get it wrong, Archie is the elite of his class and everyone would obliterate to be his friend but he chooses not to mingle with any of his classmates.Archie shove his books inside the backpack and flung them over his shoulders.Archie stands up from his seat, grabs his ball pen and shoves it into his pant pocket. He checks his locker to see if he forget anything. After he is sure that he has packed everything, he nods and strides towards the exit.“Hey, can you wait up? Let's heed out together.” Travis, his seatmate, tries calling out to him but Archie is far from listening to his words. He strides out of the class and heeds to the hallway that leads outside.He halts walking and slips out his phone from the backpack. He resumes walking and operating his phone with his face glued to the phone.Not operating the phone in the hallway, he is well
“Hey,” Melanie laugh, “shall we head home already?” she yells out to Archie who wouldn't stop riding on a rollercoaster.Melanie has been hidden behind a pillar since they got to the amusement park. She didn't know that she has become so popular already since she started modelling for the brand.They met with people of different ages trying to take pictures with her, while some requested autographs. She has been doing that since they got there and she couldn't go play with Archie.“Hold on for a second!” Archie whines like an electric motor.“Oh, Lord!” Melanie sighs, she loses the kerchief on her head and begins to use it to fan herself.“It’s so hot here I need to take some fresh air.” she groans and stays still on the long bench.“Hi.” comes a greeting from a teenage girl in a purple sports outfit.Melanie move her gaze from Archie to the fragile voice beside her. “Hello, pretty girl.” she smiles at the girl that is sitting beside her on the bench.“You’re the lady from the Star ch
The next morning, The coldness of the morning could make everyone choose to stay indoors. The chilliness of the atmosphere makes it obvious why the thick fur Melanie modelled is out of stock.Running down the gigantic stairs is Melanie, she races down the stairs and bid Mr Gordon goodbye without looking at him.She had told him the previous night that she will be leaving home very early the following morning. She had a shot and he told her not to worry about breakfast and that he would do it.Melanie is the first person to head out of the house since she has to make it early to the office. She adjusts her black thick fur coat over her black pencil skirt and a green slit top. Her silver heels make a click sound as they make contact with the gunk floor.She clutches tight at her purse and takes in her bottom lips. She is fucking cold and she needs to get to the office as fast as possible so she can take something warm“Mine!” Mr Gordon call out to her from the front door, she halt on h
