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
Liana Moore _____The sad part of all my life tale was not what I experienced, it was to have had no shoulder to lean on when I was at my lowest.But now here he was, Oliver Castillo Ross.He was just behind me with his hands wrapped around me. And that moment, my whole life flashed before my eyes. Everything led to a simple question, why have I never gotten anyone to just hold me so well like I mattered? The tears I always tried to hold were slowly welling up at the surface of my eyes. My burning chest always caught me wanting to rub it and comfort myself. I lifted my hand to my chest. The pain was unbearable. I bit my lip so hard to control the sobs, but I couldn't. I wished he could just stay like that and not see the tears flowing. But he sadly unwrapped his hands off me, resting them on my shoulders.Then he moved slowly in front of me. Once he fully faced me, I shook my head. "I'm not crying." I smiled which came painful. "I'm not crying," I repeated in a fading voice.He sile
Oliver Castillo ______ I took exaggerated steps towards her. To confirm my assumption that she was nervous around me, she also took steps backward. Her eyes were filled with mixed emotions. I could see worry lingering in them, then the dark coat of desire. She made me wonder what was going through her mind. She was wearing a black official skirt which was slightly above her knees. That was matched with an orange blouse that matched the color of her flat closed shoes. Her hair, as always, was held in a high bun, and at that moment, I desired to do a lot to her, like to see her hair falling on her shoulders.The prey got to her end road, I loved how she knew she was caged. The gasp, and the way her hands fell on the table where her butt collided. She was wrong if she thought I would leave her alone. There were things I wanted to confirm. Things like why she was so fucking good at kissing, like why she would melt with one touch and especially to know if she was touched. Yes, maybe I
