“Ahh!” Melanie whimpered as the hotness of the hand dryer burn a part of her skin. She drops it on the dressing table and applies lotion to her hair.She carefully massage the part that got burned and she let out a small cry as she feel the pain. “Oh, why did I have to wash my hair?!” She groans and wears a band on her head.Her phone makes a beep sound and she peeps at the screen to see that she has a message from her mother. “Oh, mother!” she sighs and drops the phone back on the table without checking the content of the message.She needs not to check the content before she will know what the message is all about. “She needs money! And I don't have!” She groans inwardly.“What am I going to do? I can't possibly ask Kayla for money.” She sniffed and didn't realise when she started crying.It's not her fault that she couldn't send money to her money at the appropriate time. She needs to bear with her for a little longer. She heard directly from her assistant that Directors get paid e
Working endlessly on the system, Melanie grabs her pen and scribes down some things inside her notepad. She has been working her ass off since she gets to her office in the morning and she still hasn't stood up from her desk since then. She sent her assistant to grab lunch for her and she wonder what is taking her so long.March is the jovial type, she must have met with her colleagues and decided to have a chat with them.“I don't even know what my schedule is for the next hours.” she sigh and try to pick up her pad but she couldn't seem to have a glimpse of it on the table.“Perhaps March has taken it with her, guess she decided to work on my schedule during her free time.” she chuckles and moves her gaze back to the system.Melanie wants to stand up and go take a fresh air on the rooftop. Just then, a knock comes on the door and Melanie sigh, rubbing her palm on her forehead. She still hasn't said anything when the door twists open and Mia walks inside in her goodness.She walks st
Mr Gordon sits quietly on his office seat. He has been daydreaming since he got to work in the morning. He couldn't seem to have the thought of his mind and it was starting to border him.He stares into space and thinks of who he could discuss the issue with. His mind drifts to his secretary and he smiles at the brilliant idea.He picks up the office phone and places a call across to his secretary who she picks up at the first ring. “Harley, could you please see me in my office?” He speaks with respect and drops the phone after she has promised to come to his office immediately.There comes a soft knock on the door and he ushers the person in. Harley walks in and closes the door behind her.Her heels make a loud noise as she stylishly walks up to him. “Good afternoon, boss!” Harley greets warmly.“Please have a seat, dear.” Mr Gordon says and then adjusts himself on the seat.“Why did you call for me, Alfred?” Harley asks. She knows he is not talking business with her since he calls
“I love you!”That's all it takes for Melanie to come back to her sense, she slides her hand from his grip and moves her seat a bit far away from him.“Get a grip on yourself,” she yells at Andy and forcefully stands up from the seat. “What the hell did you think you are doing?” she shoots him a deadly glare and walks up to the window.Andy has realised his fault and he feels bad for confessing his love to the woman he wants to make his friend. He raises his body and lets his butt slide off the table.“Melanie!” he calls out to her and stands behind her back. He makes to hold her hand but she slaps his hand off.“You’re selfish, Andy!” she says, holding her head in her palms as she processes what he just said to her. “How can you develop a feeling for me when you know too well that I'm with your friend?” she throws her hands in the air and prop her elbow on the window.“That’s it, can't I have feelings again because you're with my friend? How would you know that I have a thing for you
Flashback to earlier that day.After she had received the money from Mr Gordon in the morning, she sent some of the money to her mother and she felt so happy to hear that she was doing good.Her mind was with Mr Gordon throughout the day and she couldn't process why he had to send such an amount of money to her. ‘Did he perhaps make a mistake, or did he send the money to her out of pity’?Melanie sent a text to Archie to meet her at the company after school, and she waited by her car in the parking lot for his arrival.Mr Gordon sent someone to deliver her car for her and she thanked her star for letting Mr Gordon remember that her car was still at his company.Archie arrived minutes later, in a taxi. Melanie told him that she need him to escort her somewhere and he nodded his head before entering the car.Melanie drove them to a store, different from the one they went to the last time. She asked Archie what she could get for his father and he shrugged his shoulder saying his father h
Archie rubs his bleary eyes and strides to the window. There is a pearly glow in the sky... The rising sun cast a rosy hue across the morning sky. His audible yawns travel across the room.“Hmm,” he breathes in the aroma of macaroni and cheese coming from downstairs.“Today is surely gonna be a sloppy day for me.” He yawns inaudibly and saunters to the bathroom.After brushing his teeth, he stops to check his reflection in the mirror. “What changed?” he asks himself as it doesn't seem like he add anything at all.He drops the brush and steps under the shower. After having a hot bath, he walks back to his room to the pitching of his phone. He wipes his head with a towel and dumps it inside the laundry basket. He stares at the pile of clothes inside and shakes his head negatively. “I will wash you tomorrow,” he says to the basket as if he's communicating with his mate.He hitches his head as he walks up to the bed. He grabs his phone from the nightstand and scoffs sadly. “Today is my b
Melanie drops her phone on the bed as Mr Gordon enters her room. “I just contact the lady now, and she will be here anytime soon.” She informs him without looking his way.“Alright,” he yawns and plunges onto the bed. “What is that?” He asks, pointing at the stuff on her bed.“Oh,” Melanie smile and pack the stuff together so he could sleep properly. “It’s just flower studs that I'm making for the kids.” She grins and Mr Gordon just nods and closes his eyes to sleep.“Stop stressing yourself, leave all the work for the planner.” he groans and pulls her to join him on the bed.“Seriously, I need to do this,” Melanie whine. She gently releases his hand and moves a bit away from him.Mr Gordon sits up and glares hard at her. “Did I pay so much money for them so that you could be helping them out?” He snaps at her and Melanie drops the flower stud in her hand.“I didn't stay at home so I could be playing with you, I'm doing this for Archie, not you!” She rolls her eyes. Mr Gordon didn't
If only anger could be measured on a scale, Archie's anger would surpass any sum. He steps down from the cab and marches angrily inside the compound, forgetting to bid the cab driver fair well.Darkness has already covered the sky, only the hazy light emerging from the night stars makes the night seem a bit bright.Archie puffs out air and strides towards the door. He couldn't believe he spent the rest of his day working on some fills. Can his principal ever stop giving him work to do?He remembers that his father is to blame, why would he tell his principal to detain him, the fact that his father forget about his birthday isn't the problem but the fact that he made him work for the principal on his birthday.He clamps his teeth together and twists the doorknob, he yearns to find his father and give him an earful. Stepping inside the dark living room that is as silent as the graveyard. He make to switch on the light but someone beat him to do it.“Happy birthday, Son!” Mr Gordon's che
