GOLDEN GIRL CHAPTER 13
Shay's POVThe next morning when I sat down at the table for breakfast, mom instantly gave me that weird look that I always hate, while signaling the maid standing nearby to refill her cup of coffee. I ignored the way she was staring at me and just ate my breakfast quietly without a care. I have a feeling she might start telling me something I won't like so I started to eat quickly before she gets the chance to do so."Well this is new, I thought you always have something to do in the morning which is why you rarely eat breakfast at home." She said with a curious look on her face."I do have something to do every day, but today felt like a nice day to enjoy my breakfast for once." I easily lied.She has no idea that I had been secretly working at C&E Holdings and ever since I got the job, I had been very careful about every move I make and what to say when they start asking questions. I know that my parents won't accept what I was doing cos unfortunately they do have other plans for m
GOLDEN GIRL CHAPTER 14
Jason's POVA morning with the sun still rising from the horizon, dew droplets glistening in the grass and on the leaves from the trees, a few early birds in their vehicles rushing past my car just to avoid the morning traffic that is yet to happen, this is the time of the day that I really loved. It's so peaceful and quiet and the atmosphere is calm with the first ray of sunlight filtering in the car. This moment every morning always calm my mood before I get entangled in my work life every day. It makes me wish to just keep driving while enjoying the view of the city stirring up awake. Cafés brewing their fresh batch of coffee, restaurant workers pulling up the window blinds and turning the close sign to open, men jogging down the street while older couples walk their dogs. This is perfect, and there's nothing that would make me get tired of this every day.I parked my car out front and threw my keys to the valet before making my way inside the building. As usual people are already
GOLDEN GIRL CHAPTER 15
Shay's POVI was surprised how time flew by so quickly during the day that the next thing I realized I was led into a classy looking restaurant with Sylvia by my side while the rest of our co-workers walked ahead of us, their voices ringing in the air with excitement evident in their voices. I had never been to a company dinner before so it was clear that I was a little bit nervous that I haven't actually said a word to anybody the minute we arrived. I tried to focus my attention on everything around me with a little hope that I might find something that will spark my interest. My eyes wandered around the hallway with the golden lighting dimmed, the fancy portraits on the wall, the beautiful flowers in their vases standing aligned on each sides, everything seems so perfect the way it is that it was nearly impossible to ignore the word 'money' screaming from every corner which is something I'm used to seeing all the time.The front receptionist led us into a private space away from the
GOLDEN GIRL CHAPTER 16
Shay's POVAfter having my dessert, I excused myself to go to the ladies room to do a little retouch on my makeup before we all start leaving and call it a night. I opened the door to the restroom and placed my clutch on the counter and looked at myself in the mirror. My hair looks a bit messy and my lipstick had faded a little bit and my face looks a bit damp. So not a good look.Did he see me like this?Oh god, that would be embarrassing. I ran my fingers through my hair to straighten out the curls and picked my lipstick out of my clutch to apply a new coat. The door to the restroom was suddenly pushed open making me jump in surprise when I saw that it was just Sylvia."Sorry, didn't mean to startle you." She said before coming up to my side and checking herself out in the mirror as well. I chuckled and continued applying my lipstick on."Do you want me to give you a ride home?" I shook my head and placed my lipstick back inside my clutch."No thanks, I'll just take a cab or call an

Shay's POVI walked up the steps towards the front door and that's when I noticed the lights in Shawn's private study room was still on. His study room is located on the other side of the house separated from all the chaos and noises that happens inside our home. The room was actually bigger than a normal garage and it's very well furnished and styled and it's pretty cozy too with a big leather couch inside along with the wall bookshelves and his table and drink cabinet occupying the space too. It's the only place where you'll find him because he normally spends a lot of time in there.I retraced my steps and strolled across the lawn towards his study room and went inside. He was sitting in his big leather chair relaxing with a drink in his hand and his eyes focused on the wall. I instantly smiled when I saw him and softly knocked on the open door."Hey."He quickly turns around in his seat and grinned back at me before placing his glass on the table."Oh hey, did you just get home?"
GOLDEN GIRL CHAPTER 18
Shay's POVFor the past few days as I continued to go to work, Jason and I have started to get a lot closer and act comfortable around each other more than I had thought we would be. It was one thing that I had noticed have changed recently including my mom's level of curiosity about my whereabouts. She even had me followed by her personal bodyguards one day and thank god I lost them on time to make it back to work without being late. Jason went on a business trip to Dubai three days ago and according to Sylvia, he's returning back today, those last three days have given me enough time to build up my courage and practice what I was gonna say to him.I've made up my mind, I am going to tell him how I really feel when he comes back. All this effort cannot lead straight into rejection, because I know he feels the same way as I do otherwise why would he even bother trying to get to know me and suddenly being nice to me?As I quietly work in my office, I couldn't help but glance at the tim

Shay's POVI softly knocked on the door and tried to balance the huge pizza box in my hand with the bottle of rosé on the other. Ever since that night during out company dinner, I've had developed a strange liking to rosé which is so not part of the list of wine that I usually like. A minute later, the door finally opens revealing Sylvia in her sweats with her hair in a messy bun on the top of her head. Plus, there were flour prints on her cheeks as well."I thought you went home already." I smiled and quickly nod my head happily."I was about to but then something amazing happened which is why I'm here to celebrate!" She eyed the things in my hands and then her mouth slowly curved into a smile."Well you're in luck, I just finished making some goodies."She stepped to the side for me to go in and I quickly did while making my way straight to her kitchen super curious to find out what she was making before I came. A loud gasp left my lips when I saw the delicious and warm chocolate cu

Shay's POVI waited for my ride to come pick me up at the airport and checked my phone for the time. It was already past 10am so Shawn must have left by now, I really wished I can go to Hawaii with him but unfortunately I cannot be at two places at once. I know he was going through a lot these days already because of the new problems arising in the company, cos I saw that it was all over the news about the prosecution office with a warrant to investigate Shelby. I have no idea what's going on at Falcon Group anymore but I know now that it's bad. Plus, dad pressuring Shawn everyday cos he's the current CEO is just too much for him so I really think that him going on this vacation was a good idea. He needed the break from it all and I swear that when he gets back I will surely make it up to him for not letting me go with him so I can spend some time with Jason.My phone buzzed in my back pocket and I quickly pulled it out and saw that it was a text from an unknown number.

Shanelle POVAs I sat behind the wheel of my car, driving down the bustling city streets, my mind was consumed by thoughts of Vincent. It had been two long days since we had last seen each other, those fleeting moments when he and Dan dropped us off at our hotel, leaving without much of a goodbye. Yet, despite the brevity of our encounter, I couldn't shake him from my thoughts.Did he think of me too? Was he caught in a whirlwind of memories and emotions just as I was?

Shanelle POVI sat on my bed the next morning, clutching my phone tightly in my hands. The screen displayed a seemingly never-ending stream of notifications, each one more anxiety-inducing than the last. My heart raced as I watched my video from the frat party trend across social media platforms. It was as if people couldn't get enough of it, sharing it from one corner of the internet to another. And with each share, a flood of comments and feedback poured in, all directed at me.I had worked so hard to maintain my "perfect" reputation. People saw me as a walking embodiment of flawlessness, and I had meticulously crafted that image. But now, this video threatened to expose the cracks in my carefully constructed facade.

Shanelle POVAs the anticipation built up inside me, I glanced at the clock on my bedroom wall. It was already 9:00 p.m., and I hurriedly surveyed myself in the mirror, making sure every detail of my outfit was just right.I had opted for a sleek black dress that hugged my curves in all the right places. Its off-the-shoulder design added a touch of sophistication, while the knee-length skirt showcased a playful edge. I paired it with strappy heels that elongated my legs and completed the look with a statement necklace and a bold red lip. I couldn't help but feel confident in this ensemble.Beatrice and Kayleen burst into my room with equally limited excitement for tonight's mission or whatever they wanted to call it.
