Liana Moore _____ I could only infer that his question had something to do with his hatred toward me. That jolted the curiosity in me. Maybe I ignored his hatred to the point of not wanting to know why he loathed me, but at that moment, I was in dire need to know."Am I happy seeing you drunk?" I cocked a brow. "Is that what you mean?"He let out a scoff. "You are good at this aren't you?" His speech was rather slurred even though the coldness was felt. "Playing innocent.""Sir, I don't really understand this.""Do you love him?!" He thundered and for once, I did not flinch. That caught me baffled. Now, If he hated me because of a man, he was crazy, that was because I was single as fuck. Even though Knox lingered in my brain once the whole topic surfaced, I still had this part that wanted to laugh. Yes, he saw us together in the restaurant, plus the whole issue that happened back between Knox and us. But he revealed his hatred to me even before we met Knox."Love who?""Did you kno
Oliver Castillo____ I lazily pushed my hand to the lamp table beside my bed to grab a ringing phone that woke me up. I blinked my heavy-lidded eyes open to check the caller, it was Susan, the Secretary. A sigh gushed through my nose as I rolled over to face the ceiling. Some sun rays that penetrated through the window baked my skin, an indication that it was not dawn, the day had matured.I answered the phone and her voice filled into my ear, causing my head to pound more insanely than it was."Sir, we have got an issue." She hurriedly reported and I huffed as I pushed my hair off my face. "What is it?" I managed to maintain my voice. No one could suspect I had just woken up. I could feel I had enough sleep, meaning that I missed almost half of the day at work."You need to watch the news." She sounded uneasy and I had to govern my brain cells to understand what she was trying to deliver. "It's about WowFood." With the mention of that, my body immediately came into a sudden alert.
Liana Moore ______ I left the conference room when Oliver walked in. There was an aura that was always felt whenever he was around. Silence hovered and everyone waited for him to speak about the situation.Once I hoofed out, I shut the door but I did not have the energy to walk away. I leaned on a wall beside the door and clutched my eyes shut. I felt dead. The little energy I was left with was slowly disappearing. I could feel every sense in my knocking out. The news about FitFood affected me in ways that I could not even think I was currently homeless. An exhausted sigh made its way through my nose. I could use a long break.WowFood was blowing the internet. They took a position that FitFood always occupied. It was only less than twenty-four hours for us to launch the same product, yet some motherfuckers saw it was necessary to loot our ideas.I suspected we had someone leaking information from the company. It was something that never happened before but some shit needed to be
Oliver Castillo _____ I couldn't stop looking at the pictures of Liana. The mysterious girl from the club. The girl in a backless sequin skater dress, with her hair falling gracefully on her shoulders and her well-done makeup. I knew it from the swimming pool, she just had a lot hidden under her clothes. If only Leo could know that the girl he was looking for was the girl we were busy destroying. A soft knock echoed at the office door and I sighed. I was going insane. I could actually use a day without thinking about work and perhaps think about something else.I answered. Susan ambled in carrying an Ipad. She had been in and out of my office more often and it was getting on my nerves. "The meeting with Shareholders is ready." She informed me. I waved my hand to dismiss her. When she was gone, I looked down at the laptop where I had emails from WowFood. The board members were demanding a meeting with me.I brought it to myself, but I wasn't going to show my face as Mister CO, I
Liana Moore _____ I swallowed the pain reliever pills to help with my headache. It felt as though my head was mercilessly whacked with a sledgehammer. After I rested the glass of water on the kitchen plateau, I pushed myself and sat on the wooden stool.I stared outside through the glass wall, the view outside was the swimming pool area. The lights inside the house were turned off so the only source of light that allowed me to navigate around the kitchen was from the pool area.The house was so serene, everyone was asleep including Mary. I was the only one awake since I was waiting for Oliver.I needed to know where he stood. The case was delicate so I was in dire need to know if they found the real mule.The whole day went on with me on my laptop as I went through the news. The news was spreading like a forest fire. WowFood was making it big. I wondered who was framing me to the extent of setting me up with someone I did not know. It reminded me of when I was in the club, the guy
Liana Moore ____I was engaged in the laptop as I went through some products that FitFood ever launched in past years. They were all a hit, except for one product that never did well in the market. It was a breakfast cereal made of whole-grain wheat.I went through some details about it, wondering what could have been the issue that customers did not like it.I lifted my face from the laptop when the door squeaked. Oliver pushed it open and ambled in carrying his laptop. He had taken a shower, his hair was all pushed behind and tied in a ponytail. He wore a white tee and black sweatpants. He walked around the table and sank on the black leather seat behind the office table. I averted my gaze from him to the laptop. I needed to also give ideas."What do you have?" He asked while opening his laptop. He pressed several keys and then gazed at me."Not yet." I scrolled down the laptop screen. "Should the product be from the farm?""Looking into what the company intended to launch this ye
Liana Moore ___ After a hectic day, which was worth it, all the employees gathered to celebrate the successful launch of the product. We were all in the company kitchen, late at 8 pm, as we also got to enjoy a free tryout of the new flavors that were launched. I was delighted to also see Oliver join us to try the new flavors.After the news about me being the mule in the company, I gained more haters. No one was looking my way and if they did, the glares they offered were clear that I was not on anyone's good side.Zip called in the morning to inform me that she was to be absent. Her mother was admitted to the hospital. She was the only person I could have spent the day with. Mikell was busy serving the employees, so there were no chances to have him sit with me at the table.I was seated at the farthest table in the company dining hall. The noises were like bees buzzing around. I couldn't even tell what anyone said as they were chatting in groups.Some were holding a bowl of cere
Oliver Castillo ______ "Don't be ridiculous, Leo, a whore is a whore. They got words to cover up their deeds. I mean, who would even admit they date rich people? No one." Jason hollered and the sound of billiards balls hitting the pool table allowed right after. I was aware that he was playing pool.I sighed as I run my fingers through my hair which was a disheveled mess. I was as confused as fuck. My feelings were the blame, or the unfaithful hormones playing with me."I think it's up to Oliver to find out more about her now that she is staying under his roof." Leo finally let out. We both needed good therapy to help with the weird change in our views about Liana."That bitch is staying in Catillo mansion?" Jason's convulsed. "How come I am hearing this now? What is going on behind my back?""Jason, look," I pulled myself and sat nicely on the bed as I tugged another pillow on my back. I was about to warn him about the foul names he was calling her but I held it, after all, I was n
