Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 54 - A Sight of HER
VIVIAN was so elated that she walked with a smile from ear to ear. She’s holding the rarest bag she ever saw. For some people she might look crazy, but for the type of business she has, her reaction is normal. Soon she arrived at the restaurant where John was waiting for her. He immediately noticed her beautiful smile. "To whom do I owe the pleasure of seeing you smile like that?" He says flirtatiously while helping her to sit. "Oh! Stopped it John. You’re making me blush." After she sat, they ordered and continued with their normal Saturday night date. Though they have been together for six years now and slept with each other numerous times, they still act as if it’s their first date. For John, the moment he saw Vivian, in that crowded train station on that one summer day, he knew she was the one for him and after six years that impression never changed. As for Viv, she was a busy working student at that time, and she never prioritized meeting men or talking to them as she set her
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 55 - She’s at C.I
LUCIAN entered the office building with dark circles in his eyes. He has sleepless nights after seeing Sieve with Lucius last Saturday; he can't stop thinking about her, imagining she’s sleeping with Lucius doing things that she used to do to him. His face frowns, like there's a sour taste in his mouth. When he entered the elevator, as if the universe was against him, he saw Lucius inside. The latter then greeted him with a smile on his face, "Good morning, Mr. Caldwell." Lucian nods and gives a quick glance. He can sense that Lucius is a bit more gleeful today, then a scene flashes in his mind — a scene where Sieve and Lucius spent a steamy night together. "That’s why he seems happier than usual." He says to himself then glanced at Lucius again and saw red marks on his neck. His eye twitches upon seeing it. On the other hand, Lucius is oblivious to all of this, since Sieve is his cousin Latton. The red mark on his neck is not a hickey, it's a mosquito bite because he opened his room
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 56 - Office Gossip
JOHN entered Lucian’s office with a mischievous grin on his face. As he entered, he immediately saw the dark circles around his eyes. "Yikes! You look awful!" He said as he sat on the coach opposite to his office chair. Lucian, at that time, was sitting on his chair trying to busy himself to get his mind off the idea running around his mind and John’s remarks were not helping him. "What do you want?" He asks as his eyes twitch in annoyance. "Chill, I’m not an enemy. I’m here to tell you something bizarre that happened a few minutes ago." He says with a teasing tone while he sips his coffee. "I don’t have time for this. Spill it out!" He demands, his tone of annoyance turned to a cold, domineering voice, but it didn’t have any effect on John, since he had known him since high school. While waiting for John’s story, Lucian took a sip of water, then he heard John suddenly say, "I rode the elevator with Sieve today!" He almost spit out the water from his mouth upon hearing John’s words
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 57 - Miss Ripley
FRIDAY came in the blink of an eye. The whole top floor is still on high alert since they still can't book a meeting with Mr. Kent and aside from that, a new batch of raw materials will be delivered continuously within the next 2 months. The contract needs to be signed as soon as possible but the amount Mr. Kent is asking is way too high. From the price of 15M, it's now 20M. Everyone is on wits' end, especially now that Victor is lurking around. As COO Lucian can see, the full view of how the situation will take a huge toll on the business, and it’s not good. It’s like holding a double-edged sword that will hurt them both ways and the only option is to choose which one will hurt less. Option 1 is to accept the 20M price change, but the budget will be affected so that they might need to change the price of the products. In a competitive market, sales might slow down for the first 2 quarters. Option 2 is to move the warehouses to Shance, but it would give Victor too much influence in th
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 58 - Not a pushover
LUCIAN is still shocked that he can’t utter a word. Then he remembers what she said last week, "No worries, we have plenty of time to catch up next week!" "Is this what she meant when she said that? Is she going to work here now?" His mind was running around. Meanwhile, George finally calms down and sits again after seeing Lucius. Jacob, one of the managers, then asks, “Mr. Vaughn, is she the new Junior Managing Director for Ripley International?” “Yes, yes she is. This is Latt…” Before he could finish his words, Victor cut him off and said, “That’s why you look familiar,” He then walked to her and stared at her intently, then added, “I remember you when you were younger, timid and well-behaved.” He tried to reach for her shoulder to pat her, but Lucius immediately blocked him and gazed at him coldly. Victor sneered and then said, “Aren’t you too protective?” Hearing this, Lucian's eyes widened with a hint of envy. While John enjoys everything he is seeing. On the other hand, Vi
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 59 - Car ride
AFTER formally meeting Latton yesterday, Lucian had fantasies about her, and it kept him wide awake. He kept tossing and turning on his bed. "I really need to get laid," he says as he stands up from his bed. He took his phone and opened an escorting app. He was about to book a female companion for the night but changes his mind and sighs deeply. Instead, he stood up, took a long cold shower while flashes of their night together lingered in his mind. On Tuesday, he went to the office at 9:00 AM, and continued with his day. Aside from the Hamilton contract, the company needs to move forward with their other tasks such as taking on new projects, expanding the brand, and daily business operations. As he completed tasks after tasks, a knock on the door disturbed his concentration. It’s John, holding two cups of hot coffee, grinning from ear to ear as he walks to his table giving him one of the coffee, he then sits comfortably on the couch. "Yesterday was chaotic..." He waited for a reac
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 60 - Outburst
“I MET him again, and I couldn't stop thinking about the things we did. It lives rent-free in my mind. I feel something inside me twisting, whenever I think of him doing the same thing to others." Latton heaves deeply, furrowed her brows then continued sharing her sentiments, "Yesterday, we rode in a car together, and I stopped myself from looking at him.” She explains while lying on the sofa staring blankly at the white ceiling. “Why? Why did you stop yourself from looking at him? Do you hate him for leaving?” Laura asks while writing on her notes. Latton lowered her head and clasped her hands, “I don’t hate him, what happened before is inevitable. We’ll end it sooner or later. I think I never thought that I'd meet him again, especially not in this type of situation.” “Situation? Like what?” Laura asked with curiosity in her tone. “We work in the same building. Our families know each other and it’s just awkward. What if I lose control, and just lunge at him out of nowhere?” “Are
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 61 - Something like that
AFTER the incident, Latton left Caldwell Incorporated. She was in a bad mood, and she didn't want her work to be affected. She got in a taxi and was about to return home when she received a text message from Vivian saying the bag was now ready for pickup. She immediately changed her destination to Vivian’s shop. Around 11:30 AM, she arrived at Bloom’s Luxury Burlap Shop. When she got there, Vivian was in the receiving area in front of the computer. She walks towards her and says, "Miss Bloom, I’m here for the bag." Upon seeing her, Vivian smiles and responds gleefully, "Hi! Let me get the bag for you. Please have a seat while waiting for me." She sat on the couch in the waiting area, glancing at the bags that were on display. Shortly after, Sandra, Vivian’s assistant, gave her a cup of hot chocolate and a small basket of cookies. She smiles upon seeing the cute presentation of the snacks and nods to the assistance and says, "Thank you!" She took a bite of one of the chocolate chip
