Los Angeles ....2000"Mi Amore!"Matilda was in the kitchen cooking when Marshall came in. She heard his voice before she even saw him, and a smile immediately spread across her face."Mi Amore!" he called out again as he entered the room.Matilda turned around to see her boyfriend, Marshall, standing in the doorway with a huge grin on his face. She couldn't help but feel her smile grow even wider as she saw him."Hey, you," Matilda said as she walked over to give him a hug.Marshall wrapped his arms around her and held her tight, pressing his cheek against hers. "How's my favorite chef doing?"Matilda laughed and pulled away from him, swatting his arm playfully. "I'm doing just fine, thank you very much. What brings you over here?"Marshall shrugged. "Just wanted to see my favorite person in the world, that's all."Matilda rolled her eyes but couldn't stop the grin from spreading across her face. "You're such a charmer.""And are you sure your parents are fine with that?!" She asked
Los Angeles .....2023 ....Monday Morning "When do you intend to move this away from here!" Eleanor barked at the maintenance staff, who were lazily lounging around the front entrance. "This is not a dumping ground, it's a workplace. Clean it up immediately." Eleanor, had been feeling the heat of the impending arrival of the new boss. She got a message from the CEO of the company, Marshall Wilson. He wanted his son, Arthur Wilson to take over the affairs of that particular branch.She was previously personal assistant to Marshall Wilson and now she would automatically be personal Assistant to his son, Arthur.She knew Arthur had a reputation for being strict, bossy and a perfectionist, and right now she was trying to put everything in place before his arrival.As she walked past the desks, she barked out commands to the staff. "Make sure all the files are properly arranged before lunchtime!" She shouted at one employee. "Clean up your workspace and make it presentable!" She in
Next day ....Tuesday Morning8:00pm ....The elevator door opened and Eleanor careful looked around before she stepped outside gingerly.She looked quite pale, her face had lost it's color, like she was carrying the burden of the whole world on her shoulders."Wow wow and wow!" She heard someone say behind her and she stopped in her tracks immediately, she slowly turned back to face whoever it was.She sighed in frustration as her eyes went momentarily shut, Arthur had been the last person she wanted to see today, even though she knew she couldn't avoid seeing him.After threatening to quit her job yesterday and she couldn't, she had no idea how to face him."You're here to drop your resignation letter right, since I didn't get it yesterday and you left quite early!" He said, her grip on her bag tightened, she swallowed hard as her head slowly bent to look at her knees, she bit the insides of her cheeks in embarrassment."I'm talking to you, answer me!" He snapped."I'm - I'm - I'm "
Eleanor slowly opened her eyes and the first pair of eyes she met were Arthur's piercing brown eyes."Eleanor!" Her mom called immediately as she ran towards her and slowly placed her hands on her head, Eleanor hissed in pain and Racheal- her Mom slowly removed her hands,"Sorry dear," she whispered."Huh huh," Arthur cleared his throat and they both turned to look at him.He stared at him with disdain and utter disgust, as far as he was concerned they were both just pretending.Just like Eleanor did to win his dad over, but the pretence couldn't just work on him."Arthur, why did you do this to me?!" Eleanor whispered, rudely interrupting his thoughts."You have no right to question me!" Arthur snapped."You should actually..." Racheal began and Arthur raised his hands to her immediately and shut her up."I have absolutely nothing to say to you," he said curtly."It's you I have business with," he whispered as he moved closer to Eleanor's bed."What's this sneaky pictures you have wi
"My son will definitely not ruin any company!""And you shouldn't speak to him in that manner because of your little poverty alleviation scheme!" Penelope, Arthur's mom and Marshall's wife, said as she walked into the house and slammed the door shut."What the hell is wrong with you Marshall,""Screaming on top of your voice?! I could hear your every word since I stepped out of the car!""What is ever that serious!" She asked as she dropped her bag in the chair."I see where he got the phrase, poverty alleviation scheme from, I should have known it was from you!" Marshall snapped."Yes?! Is it a lie?!""He is your son Marshall and you should be on his side always, not siding with a random slum citizen!""I loathe the day you met her!""You know me too well Penelope! I won't be a party to Arthur's stupid acts!""Instead of you to tell him his bad behaviors you keep indulging him!""You made him this spoilt Penelope! You're ruining his life!" Marshall growled."Don't you ever dare!," Pe
"You shouldn't just always let him have his way," Racheal said turning to face Eleanor."He's the head of the house now right," Eleanor whispered in reply and she shook her head."Well he hasn't behaved well enough to deserve that title !" Racheal rebuffed and Eleanor forced a smile."It's fine Mom, I could have actually taken care of the payment for space till he was ready,""Nobody is taking care of anything!" She replied."We'll bury your father this Friday and this Friday it is!""Okay Mom, I just didn't want you guys to argue again,""It's pretty much what you guys do every single time you see, he ends up leaving angrily,""And if there's one thing dad's death taught me, it's that this life is incredibly short, and we never can tell when we won't just see someone forever again," she said and Racheal nodded slowly."You're right," she whispered."But your brother just knows how to push my angry buttons," she lamented."I know, you can just try to talk things over and be a little m
"Is there suddenly a comedy show in this class!" Someone said and they both looked up to see Olivia standing in front of them."Olivia can you please just go away, I'm in no mood for your tantrums today!" Isabella replied and Olivia scoffed."You never smile and all of a sudden you just start giggling over nothing," Olivia continued ignoring her initial statement."I believe you're not blind Olivia and you can see I'm in a conversation with someone!""If you think I'm giggling over nothing then you should have your eyes checked!" "No you're just a piece of trash that would throw herself at any male she comes across,""Excuse me! , you have no rights whatsoever to talk to her like that!" Finn imputed immediately."Oh please, you shouldn't be sitting with someone like her, she's too despicable!" Olivia spat."And who the hell are you to tell me who I should be sitting with,""This is your first and final year in liberty high Finn, you should pick your sides carefully and wisely,""And
Arthur's Apartment....Later that night ......"Arghh!""Instant noodles tonight again!" Arthur murmured as he slammed the freezer door shut and walked towards the dinning table.He pulled his MacBook closer and opened it,"This girl has still not sent this file," he murmured with a small frustrated sigh.He angrily stood up and walked upstairs to get his phone."They won't do what they're supposed to do and when I react I'm the bad person!" He muttered as he picked up his phone and headed towards the dinning again.He dialled Eleanor's number as he took his seat back and waiting impatiently for her to pick up the call."Why have I still not gotten the files I asked for?!" He asked immediately she picked up the call."Oh I'm sorry, I'll do that now " She said immediately."So you forgot is that it?! Did I pay you to forget about your job?!" "I'm sorry, I'm still at the hospital remember, I just had my Mom bring my Macbook over," She said and he hissed as he rolled his eyes."All I he
