For The Rest Of Our Lives BECAUSE I DESERVE TO KNOW
Althea arrived at work and dove headfirst into her tasks, tackling her responsibilities with dedication and zeal. Her day was filled with back-to-back meetings, and one might assume she was the secretary to her boss, Mr. Amos, given her workload. However, that wasn't the case. The truth was that Mr. Amos trusted Althea implicitly due to her exceptional diligence, precision, and intuition. He relied on her to handle tasks that would typically fall to his secretary, and she never complained, always delivering high-quality results. As the month drew to a close, the workload intensified, with numerous reports, calculations, and analyses to complete. Mr. Amos entrusted Althea with overseeing the accuracy and alignment of all departmental reports, a responsibility that wasn't initially hers but was given to her due to her exceptional capabilities. While more work meant more pay, Althea wouldn't be shouldering the burden alone; she would have the support of select HR employees to ensure t
For The Rest Of Our Lives THE IMAGINARY WOMAN
Contrary to Althea's expectations, she had a restful night's sleep despite her conversation with Hilda. After taking a bath and lying in bed, she quickly drifted off. The following morning arrived, and it was Wednesday. Oh, how Althea detested Wednesdays! She could handle Tuesdays, but never Wednesdays. They were always the busiest days of the week for her, even more so than Fridays, as she had initially assumed. Althea got ready for work with a groan. If she had opportunity, she would have called in sick to avoid going to the office. As she walked down the stairs, she didn't even spare a moment to listen to or wait for Hilda, who was approaching her. With a flip of her hair and a huff, Althea left the house. Althea assumed that she and Hilda had taken their silent battle to a new level. Upon arriving at work, Althea discovered a large stack of files requiring her attention. She had hoped that she had completed everything the previous day, but who was she kidding? There would al
For The Rest Of Our Lives THE STARS HAVE ALIGNED
Althea nearly choked on her drink, prompting her coworkers to rush to her aid. "Take it easy, okay?" Milan, who was seated by her side, said, gently rubbing her back. As Althea coughed uncontrollably, attracting attention from everyone around them, Aura and Katarina stepped in to reassure everyone that she was alright. Katarina offered Althea her glass of water, and after a few sips, Althea's breathing began to stabilize. "Are you feeling better now?" Aura asked with concern. "Yeah," Althea managed to respond between breaths. "Are you sure?" Katarina pressed. "I am," Althea replied, her panting breath slowing down. "What happened? Why did you choke on your drink?" Milan inquired, worried. "Nothing," Althea lied. "Come on, we're all in this together. We told you our secrets, so you should do the same and not lie to us," Milan urged. "Well, technically, it's not your secret but the boss's," Althea pointed out. "But we shared it with you, so it still counts," Aura argued. "Fi
For The Rest Of Our Lives AND THERE IT WAS
After having lunch, Althea felt more energized, ready to tackle on the remaining workload that stood before her. Diving right in, she was interrupted mid-task by Mr. Amos's secretary, a petite, red-haired woman with blue eyes. Dressed in sage green pants, a beige shirt, and black heels, her hair tied up in a neat bun, she approached Althea's desk. "Good afternoon, Mrs. Wilson," Corelle greeted Althea, her voice smooth and respectful, aware that Althea could easily take her position if she wanted to in the blink of an eye. "Good afternoon, Corelle," Althea replied with a friendly smile. "What brings you here?" She asked, closing the file she was working on. "Mr. Amos would like to see you. He'd like to review the JHS project file with you before the meeting, which is scheduled to begin in an hour. He requests that you meet him in the boardroom where the meeting will be held," Corelle relayed Mr. Amos's instructions professionally and politely. "The meeting is in an hour? I almost f
For The Rest Of Our Lives ALTHEA!
Adam's gaze was icy as he entered the room, his eyes fixed on Althea. "I apologize if I interrupted something intimate between you two," he said, his tone dripping with sarcasm. Althea felt a pang of hurt, wondering why Adam would assume something intimate was happening between her and her boss. What did he think of her? "Intimate? Don't be ridiculous, Adam. We were just having a conversation," Amos replied, unaware of the underlying tension. Adam's smile was malicious as he took his seat, his eyes locked intensely on Althea. "A conversation, huh? It sounded kind of funny." he said, his gaze roaming over her body before resting on her eyes. Althea's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't understand why she felt nervous under his scrutiny Amos gestured towards Althea, "It really was. Althea is a jokester, Adam." But Adam's raised brow and curt smile only made Althea more uncomfortable. With a professional tone, Althea spoke up, "I'll leave you two to discuss. I assume you have
For The Rest Of Our Lives STAY AWAY FROM ME
Althea's eyes creaked open, only to shut tight again against the piercing light above. She groaned, rubbing her temple, and attempted to sit up, but a gentle voice urged her back down. "Stay back, dear, you're not stable enough to get up." The voice was faint, but Althea recognized it instantly. "Mom?" she called out, blinking rapidly to clear her blurry vision. "I'll go get the doctor, dear," Mrs. Ruiz replied, exiting the room. "Mom? Are you there?" Althea called out, hearing the door close. "I'm here, Althea," Bella's voice reassured her. "Mom will be back soon. Just rest now, sister." As Althea's eyes finally adjusted to the light, she turned to face Bella's worried expression. "I missed you so much, Bella," Althea confessed, reaching out to caress her cheek. "I missed you too, sister," Bella replied, concern etched on her face. "It hasn't been long since you left, and now you're sick? Is Adam a bad person?" Althea chuckled softly. "Adam isn't a bad person," she clari
For The Rest Of Our Lives HIS FAVORITE COLOR
Althea retired to her bedroom, still reeling from her conversation with Hilda. Despite Adam's hurtful words, she refused to let them dampen her spirits. After a refreshing shower and settling into bed, she reflected on Adam's words and her heart raced with excitement. She reached for her phone, hesitating for a moment before deciding to call Timothy the next day. “Tomorrow. He might be exhausted. I'll call him tomorrow.” she said her hand hovering over Timothy's phone number. The next morning, Althea woke up feeling revitalized. She hummed a tune as she got ready, her beauty radiating in a stunning red gown. With a deep breath, she dialed Timothy's number as she sat on her bed, not hesitant like yesterday, her heart skipping a beat as she waited for him to answer. After two rings, Timothy finally picked up. "Timothy?" Althea called softly, her voice trembling with emotion, after a moment of silence had reigned. Althea waited with bated breath to hear a response from him. "I p
For The Rest Of Our Lives THE DINING ROOM
Althea trembled beneath Adam's intense gaze, struggling to maintain her composure. "I-I didn't know," she stuttered in response to the question he had asked, her voice shaky. Adam's eyes gleamed with desire as he pulled her closer, his whispered words sending shivers down her spine. "Are you trying to seduce me?" he growled, his hot breath on her ear, his restraint on her hands unyielding "No," Althea whispered, her voice almost inaudible as she shook her head slowly. “I think you are.” Adam's purr was a low, husky whisper in her ear, his nibbles sending waves of heat through her. Althea let out gasp, heat rising from within her, her cheeks flushing to a crimson red as Adam inhaled her scent, his eyes darkened with longing. "Mhmm… you smell divine." He muttered, his voice a low rumble. “Adam, I don't think—” Althea tried to say but his finger on her lips silenced her protests. “Don't you dare say it. Don't make me get angry.” He warned seductively, his eyes gleaming
