"Well, you are acting like one right now, And you called me here to do what for you?, You gave me a one week break then why all these unnecessary disturbance ?" I asked in an angry tone, all I wanted to do was to leave this darn office because I can't keep up with all these shit.

"That's none of your business, Miranda Get to work" Edwin said in a dismissive tone and I turned my face to him,it seems after destroying his files, he still has the guts to order me around, like some sort of toy, I felt a surge of anger at his tone.

"Excuse me? I am not some robot that you can just order around, You gave me a one-week break, and now you're acting like I'm not even allowed to ask a simple question?" I shouted and threw his files on the table for the second time and storming out of his office furiously.

    Miranda Pov As Edwin stormed off, I stood there in the sand, feeling shocked and a little bit guilty. I didn't expect him to react that way, but then again, it wasn't the first time I had gotten under his skin with my comments. Still, I couldn't help but feel like I had crossed a line this time but it looks so funny and confusing at the same time.I looked out towards the ocean, trying to calm myself down. He was arrogant, entitled, and he always acted like he was better than everyone else.But then again, maybe there was something deeper going on. Maybe I was not just seeing what he was trying to explain to me but on a second thought, His pride is something he needs to work on because he always feels like he is the most hardworking and other hardworking me are doing nothing then?.As I stood there lost in my thoughts, I suddenly heard a car engine revving and tires screeching.

Why do you keep on interfering in all my son's affair huh? Been the top ranking business man isn't enough, now you got his new sign deal to yourself huh?” He yelled and I groaned tiredly.To be sincere I wasn’t in for this. I was damn ashamed over the fact that Maxwell could stoop so slow to involve his father into this, I thought he could fight me square on.“What do you want old man?” I asked and he quickly grabbed me by my collar and my eyes dimmed. The nerve of this bastard.“Let me go! What do you want?” I asked

    Miranda's POVI stormed out of the office, breathing rather harshly with no intention of turning back till I got to my desk. Slowly I sank into the swivel chair, thinking back at everything that played in Edwin's office. What did I do..? My limbs were beginning to vibrate but the deed was done.How can I just spit out whatever and get fired? What happens to Maxwell and the project now..? I can't possibly tell Maxwell that Edwin fired me, of course, I know how pathetic that sounds. Staring back at his office door, my eyes were beginning to blaze red, he just can't fire me..! It was hard to believe. I sighed, picking up an empty box and arranging all of my stuff in it. If this is what he wants, then I think there's only one way to do it better. I will make sure he regrets it. With the determination seeping through my vein like adrenaline, in no time, I finished packing.“Going somewhere..?” I heard the moment I turned back and instantly gritted my teeth. “Wait, it's not what I'm thinki

    Miranda's POVI stood still, gasping at what I heard but it seemed it wasn't stopping because it took only a minute before another voice spoke. “What would happen when she finds out you don't really love her but instead, you're using her..? Would that not be a problem..?” It was a female voice.“Miranda?” Maxwell chuckled that I had goosebumps on my back. “You know, at some point I thought of it too but then, I can do all things with just a word and she'd go all soft…” He affirmed.“What word would that be?” That female voice asked again in curiosity. In truth, I was also curious even though I could tell how hot and fast my blood was boiling in rage. I also want to know the word he says that makes me go soft.“A five letter word, sorry.” I could read the sarcasm of his words, it made me even more angry. Never would I believe I fell for such an ungrateful bastard but then, I did. The female voice laughed heartily while my intestine churned.“You.. you're quite the joker..” She said in

I laughed, making the atmosphere more tense than it already was.“You thought I would fall for it if you disguised as Edwin..? You failed, Christabel..” I said, belching afterwards. Indeed there is nothing to hide when you're in a bar, knowing fully well that nobody cares.“Miranda..!” He grumbled, clenching his fist.“Alright, alright. I had only six bottle's but it's not my fault, I promise.” my head was already down on the table with my eyes closed when I answered. I felt Christabel sigh real deep and later on, I felt a pair of hands pick me up in a bridal style. I couldn't tell how she had such muscle but I felt every one of it on my body, the warmth it brought when I'm in her hands that I had to snuggle closer for more. On the other hand, something in my head was telling me that I'm with my boss yet I wasn't ready to protest, falling deep

Are you okay?” Aunt Sarah called from behind.“I am, aunt.” I answered curtly, turning towards her direction and smiling which she did too.“I know, I know..” She said, “You did well,”“Right!?” I uttered, releasing a frustrated sigh. “You're not really going to do what that asshole said right?

I felt him nimble on it and became stiff, his mouth was hit against my skin and his wet tongue continuously drew circles.“What are you doing, Miranda..?” I asked myself and came back to my senses. Slightly pushing him to the back and getting up to move but again, he's fast.This time, his lips slammed hard in mine and I felt him intrude my mouth with his tongue.

The same mistake I did with Maxwell, thinking I can handle it all. There was this tiny part of me that wished I never made that mistake and it was all because I was blinded and couldn't have possibly met up with Edwin.
