"Listen up," Olivia smirked. "I'll only say this once," she held Evelyn's project with her index and thumb finger as if it were garbage. She glanced through the file, yawned and rolled her eyes."This plan has no depth. It's poorly done but I'm not surprised since the one who proposed it was half baked," she said. "It looks messy and completely foolish. Why did you even let a newbie I charge? That's very unprofessional of Wilson Company." She swung her hands around with nonchalance as she went on and on, insulting Evelyn and saying very little about the project."It's bad and lacks proper planning-” at this point, she was starting to repeat herself.“You’re not even reading it!” Evelyn almost screamed. It was hard to believe she was facing Olivia again!“I don't need to look at it to know how bad it is,” Olivia scoffed. “Just imagine if he took a look at it,” she walked over to Mr. Martinez and wrapped her arms around him while he held her waist.“I just saved you the trouble, dear,”
***TRIGGER WARNING: ABUSE**Jane slammed the car door shut when they returned to the company. She was filled with rage having been insulted and ridiculed by that woman! But more importantly, the project. It was over.Evelyn looked more defeated than she did and she suddenly remembered that she had received the full heat of that woman. It was obvious they knew each other."That woman, how did you offend her? She clearly hates you."Evelyn didn't want to look at her. It was all her fault. Maybe if they hadn't used her plan to begin with, Olivia wouldn't have picked on it."She's my step-sister-""What!" Jane almost screamed. "That's insane! You two don’t have a good relationship?"She shook her head, "It has always been like that. She hates me and I just… tolerate her."Jane could tell it ran deeper than that but she let it go. If there was anyone to blame, it was Mr. Martinez. How could he allow his private life to affect his work? Keeping a director like that would only ruin such a gr
"The project was approved."Evelyn's jaw dropped in shock as her teammates passed the news around. From the joy on their faces, she knew it wasn't a joke.Jane walked in the next minute with shock on her face as she confirmed the news. Turns out it was a mistake from the other company's director and there was now a new person in charge.The company sent an apology too and would like to discuss further with Evelyn who proposed the plan.Once the secretary from the higher ups left after delivering the news, Jane's team cried tears of joy while Jane and Evelyn were still in shock.Fired? How did he get fired so fast?Didn't things like these take time- like months before being discovered?While Evelyn thought about that, her phone chimed and as she got a new message. It was an email from her boss. She stepped away from Jane to read the content.'After looking into why a well thought out project was rejected, we found out that it was from the Company's director. Your plan has been approve
They got breathless by the second as they kissed, pressing their foreheads pressed against each other. She had her hands on his face in a gentle caress as she touched his ears and his hair.The alcohol was very much in her breath, she didn't flinch when his hands circled dangerously to her core.Did she know what he was doing? Where his hands were and what this could possibly turn into?He broke the kiss first and watched as she still had her eyes closed, reeling from the feel of him. He smirked at how lost and immersed she had been.When she opened her eyes, her pupils were dilated with lust and her jaw hung open as the words were hooked in her throat.She was pulling him back by the collar, leaning her head to meet his lips once more."Don't stop," she mumbled against his mouth, her plea breaking the last he had.Those words were his undoing. He grabbed her thighs, pulling her closer as he pushed up her skirt. He caressed the smooth skin of her thigh and ass before slipping a hand i
Evelyn woke up with a pounding headache. She held her head as she sat up, looking around her room with a strange feeling.How did she get back home? Last thing she remembered was drinking with her supervisor, Jane. Did she call her husband later?“Ugh!” She groaned as she got out of bed and headed to the bathroom to shower. After the cool water washed from her head, she felt a bit relieved before making black tea to drink to get rid of her hangover.What happened last night? She hoped she didn't make a mess of herself when she got home. She would have to ask Lucas about that.She picked up her phone and saw a text from Alex instructing her to call once she saw his text.“Hello,”“I was wondering when you'd call,” he smiled over the phone. “I'd like to see you before I leave.”“You're leaving again? Don't worry, I'll take care of Charlie-”“No, Evelyn. I mean I'm leaving the company.”“What!” she didn't know when she yelled. “B-But how? Why? What's wrong-”“Haha! Why don't we hang out
Their eyes met and he threw her a smile before walking towards her direction. Evelyn's heart skipped a beat, refusing to calm down. She was too immersed in staring at Lucas that for a moment, she forgot she was having a conversation with Alex."Found you," Lucas said once he got to her and he leaned down to place a kiss on her cheek. He pulled back only a little, admiring her shocked look with a pleased smile.He looked up to her guest who was sprouting a frown, "I didn't see you there. I thought you were done, babe."Alex flinched at the word but he didn't back down from the hard stare they shared. He felt the competition had been brought to him even though it seemed he had lost the battle."No," she snapped out of it and before she knew it, Lucas was pulling out a chair to sit beside her."Then I guess you don't mind me joining you. Your boss and I are acquainted, I'm sure he doesn't mind."On the contrary, Alex was holding himself back from eating him alive but Lucas could see the
"It's over. See yourself out," Harry said. He couldn't stress it enough. He had told her over the phone already and she still didn't get it. What was hard to understand that he was calling their relationship off?"What the fuck do you mean by that? What happened, huh?" Olivia yelled. She was in his office at the club."After your sister cost me so much? I'm done with your family!" he yelled back. He was yet to recover from the sight of Eric at his office. He still didn't know how a lowlife like Lucas managed to score such a big guy but he knew he never wanted any of them near him again."Evelyn? What has that bitch got to do with this? Did you fuck her? You scumbag! How dare you cheat on me!" she stormed to him and raised her hand to slap him but he caught her wrist before she could land a hit, squeezing her hand tight."Get out of here before I fuck you up!" he growled, throwing her hand off. She retreated, reigning curses at him before storming out of his club.She was all alone now
Evelyn checked the time after she got out of the restroom. Where was he? She knew she shouldn't have come all by herself.The loud music and the disco lights were blaring in her eyes and ears. She had quickly taken a bathroom break and now that she was out, Lucas was yet to call.Well his last text was that he would find her. So she just needed to stay in a place where he could.She picked up her bag, ignoring the sudden weight as she felt she was feeling rather tired all of a sudden.She squeezed herself through the dancefloor, avoiding their sweaty bodies as she headed towards the door.Two security guards stood in her way, their arms folded as they stared at her with hard eyes and an expressionless face."Uhm… excuse me?" she wondered what was wrong."There's been a report of a stolen item," one said in a loud voice. The music was low in this area so there was no need for either of them to yell. "Open your bag." Yet others walked out without being stopped.Were they trying to say s
