KIASince Ms. Ventura was the one who falsely accused you of something you have never done, the dean has asked you to work with her on the project so that you can make amends. Since she had been completely honest with him, the dean decided to give her a second chance despite placing her in the lowest possible tier. Will you be able to pull something like that off?"What exactly do you want me to take care of for you?" I asked.I have no clue what they had in mind for the outcome, but I am certain that they did this on purpose in order to bring about the outcome they desired. Where does one begin? Vera, do you think she was successful in manipulating them?"You won't have any other responsibilities besides being her partner. You are going to offer assistance to her with her project, and completing this task successfully will be your first assignment as the top student at this institution." She was the one who responded.As soon as I heard the word "mission," I made a conscious effort t
KIAI was asked to report to the dean's office shortly after finishing my meal in the cafeteria. To perform at the level of an ace requires an incredible amount of effort. I am constantly required to complete a number of errands, and, if I am being completely honest, this is slowly draining the energy out of me. Miaree is not here with me because she needs to return to the classroom where we are having the next part of the lesson because it is almost time to begin. As I was walking to the dean's office, I became aware that those looks will now follow me wherever I go. It doesn't matter where I go, they will always be there. It was a little strange, but there was no reason to be concerned about it. I just feel uncomfortable sometimes.When I walked up to the door of the dean's office, the assistant to the dean greeted me and said, "The dean is waiting for you inside." As soon as I walked in, I noticed the dean was enjoying one of her go-to drinks while she was sitting on the sofa."I h
KIA"What the heck are you doing in this place?!!" I yelled back in a hysterical manner.After that, she went inside, kept one hand on her back, and looked around while glancing in every direction. "I am here to talk to you, Kianna," she said. "I apologize for the inconvenience.""What exactly are you going to discuss? Vera, there is nothing that either of us can talk about right now.""The dean of the college informed me of the news..." She sat down after grabbing a chair and placing it in the room "She has reportedly stated that she will provide me with an opportunity. Did it occur to you that I have already reconciled myself to the outcome of my situation, and that it is possible that I will be expelled from this college? I never imagined that I would be given a third opportunity to make amends for my mistakes, and that opportunity would come in the form of working with you on a project. I am extremely grateful for this opportunity.""Vera, I'm completely at a loss for words. I'm n
KIA"Yeah, sure! I, too, was caught off guard when I realized that we had reached this point. Vera, I really hope that we'll be able to form a stronger connection with one another, especially throughout the course of working on that project. I really hope that you are able to succeed in that project so that you can maintain your grade and participate in either the middle or high tier." I stood up and extended my hand to her in a gesture of friendship "I suppose this brings us to the end... Please let me know, Vera Eunice Ventura, if it is possible for us to become friends."She appeared shocked as she looked at me, but after taking a moment to examine my hand, she reached out and grabbed it, and then we both gave each other a handshake. It was then that she uttered the word "friends," and from that moment on, our relationship underwent a sea change.She assisted me in cleaning the office and even assisted me in planning the new layout for this office with the new design. I'm at a loss
During the course of our conversation regarding the project, Vera's phone began to ring for no apparent reason. She reached into her pocket and pulled out her phone, then immediately turned her attention to Kianna.“Go! Answer it." Kianna said, smiling.Vera nodded and stood up, but as she was walking away, her phone was facing Kianna's direction, so Kianna could see who was calling Vera. This allowed Kianna to answer Vera's call. Indeed, it was Asteria all along!The question is, why is she calling her? Kianna wondered.Vera walked out of the room to answer the phone call that was coming in. Kianna had the urge to follow her and inquire as to the nature of the conversation that was taking place between her and Asteria, but she restrained herself and instead took a few deep breaths.Is she faking it throughout this entire conversation? Is the purpose of all of this to merely exert influence over me? Coming up to me and trying to enlist my help in their upcoming endeavor as one of her
KIASince I had the best score on the midterm examination, the teacher decided to exempt me from taking the lengthy quiz that the rest of my classmates were required to take. When I arrived in the classroom, she informed me that my classmates were required to take the lengthy quiz. Miaree and Marcy were yelling at me to come inside, but the professor wouldn't let me in. I heard them yelling from outside. She claimed that I was unable to provide assistance to my friends in completing their lengthy test.But that wasn't the reason why I wanted to go inside, and it also wasn't the reason why my friends were calling me. Both of those things happened for entirely different reasons. The fact that Miaree and Marcy were two of the best students on campus meant that they did not require assistance from me to pass that lengthy quiz."However, your Majesty, I will not be assisting them in any way. I simply desired to remain sedentary." I begged her to let me in, but she would not budge. I said t
"In which area are you going to take me?! You can go to hell! Let go! — Don't you have the slightest idea who I am?! I am the rightful successor to the Rivera family business! I will see to it that my father puts an end to each and every one of you! Arghhh! — Help!"While two men were grabbing him and pulling him inside the freezing abandoned building, Vincent's voice could be heard echoing throughout the structure. He had a piece of dark fabric draped over his head, which prevented him from seeing properly. The only thing that was left for him to do was scream for assistance, but it seemed as though no one could hear him.It was a building that was easily recognizable. An antique clock sits in the corner of a house that has been abandoned and it continues to maintain time. Because they were so dirty, the windows prevented any sunlight from entering. Cobwebs hung around aimlessly because the people who had lived there were either dead or no longer there. The floor was covered in dust,
KIAAfter waiting for five minutes, the bus finally came to a stop directly in front of me, and as I had anticipated, Vera was one of the passengers who got off. Before she got off, I looked over and saw her give the driver a grateful thank you."Hi, Kia!" It was with a pleasant expression on her face that she welcomed me."Hi! I was wondering how your experience on the bus was. It never occurred to me that one could ride a bus "I said, jokingly."In point of fact, I didn't do that! But since I don't have a choice, I just asked the driver to let me off at the bus stop that's close to your house, and now I'm here. I have made it this far!"Suddenly, we both broke out into fits of laughter. "Let's go?" I asked Vera. She acknowledged my statement by nodding her head, and we then began to walk in the direction of my home. I became aware of a peculiar sound coming from our rear just as we were about to pass through the entrance to the village. It sounds more like a whimper than anything el
Everyone has been busy preparing for our upcoming wedding. I am here today at the boutique of one of the most famous designers in the country, Mr. Sergio. He was measuring me for the wedding gown I would wear at our wedding. After the measurement, I went with Miaree and Marcy to shop for a dress that we could wear for the celebration after the wedding."Look, Kia! Green seems to suit you better. Something that suits your complexion." Marcy said, while holding a simple green dress."You know what, I agree with what you said. Actually, I would really choose green and pink to be the themes for all of us. What if we made all the dresses green? And let's make the wedding nature theme. A simple nature wedding?” I was just thinking about it as if my eyes were shining with the idea.* ringing * ringing * ringing *I immediately took my phone out of my pocket. It turned out to be a call from my soon-to-be husband, again. I answered it immediately and informed the two that I would just talk to
Ares was about to follow Kianna when suddenly an employee was running towards him.“Sir, we have a situation. The CEO of our business partner has arrived and he was requesting for your presence, sir.” “Mr. Guevarra is here??” Ares asked.“Yes, sir….”“Tell him that my secretary will be the one who will meet him—”“But, sir… this is the fourth time that we are going to turn down his request. We might lose this partnership if you won’t be able to meet Mr. Guevarra…” Ares narrowed his eyes as he looked back in Kianna’s direction. She was walking away. He started to think about what he should do but in the end, he chose to go back to his company and meet Mr. Guevarra. While the meeting with Mr. Guevarra is ongoing, Ares couldn’t stop thinking about Kianna. “I have a vision that this partnership would be a success, Mr. Vueravista.” Mr. Guevarra said as he express his happiness for the upcoming partnership of their company. “Anyway, I heard that you were still not dating anyone. Would yo
“Kianna! Wait!” Madam Buenavista shouted, but Kia didn’t even dare to look back and just kept on walking away.Madam Buenavista couldn’t stop her. She started to feel worried about it and immediately called one of her maids. “Call my son and tell him to find Kianna right away. This is an urgent matter, so do it immediately.” Madam Buenavista ordered.“Yes, Madam…” The maid said and immediately left to make the order done.ARES"Let's get started. Today's meeting is being held so that we can talk about ways to increase sales in more rural market areas. To begin, let's review the report that was presented at the most recent meeting, which took place on November 24. Now it's your turn, Kyle; have at it! I said.Kyle got to his feet and made his way to the front. "I am in your debt, boss. Permit me to briefly summarize the most important points discussed at the most recent meeting. The first order of business was to give our stamp of approval to the revised sales reporting system that had
KIAThe chilly breeze was blowing across my skin, and I could feel it. I am currently standing in front of the enormous villa that I checked out the previous time I was here. In the event that I am unable to obtain a response from Ares, I will approach his parents in an effort to acquire the information that I require.After entering the grounds of the villa, I discovered that I had a significant distance to travel before I could really enter the structure. As I made my way toward the villa, a variety of conflicting feelings began to arise within me. It was difficult for me to determine whether my emotions were those of agitation, disappointment, or nervousness. As I arrived, I was all of a sudden overcome with uncertainty regarding whether or not I should forward with my plan. I couldn't see anyone at the front door, so I decided to walk in through the back entrance instead. However, when I got there, no one was present.Maybe I should go back the next time—"Kianna?"My attention wa
KIA"Kianna, your spouse is the one who has been making you look foolish for the better part of a year now. It's not me." Nathan reached out and attempted to shake my hand, but I pushed him away. I went back and watched the portion of the video where the MC introduced Ares as the new CEO of the Vueravista corporation. It took me a few viewings, but in the end, I was convinced that what I was seeing was in fact happening. Throughout this entire period, he had been functioning in the capacity of an assistant. Even more amazingly, he permitted me to reside in his modest home. I knew him to be a straightforward individual who led a straightforward life, and as time went on, I learned to admire and even admire that quality in him. However, once it is discovered that everything was a fabrication, everything will come crashing down around them. Does this imply that the individuals who he claimed to be his parents when we first met are not, in fact, his biological parents but rather merely p
KIA"Do you still remember who I am, Myst?" Nathan expressed his curiosity.I was taken aback, and I found that I was unable to think clearly as a consequence. Because so much time has passed since then, this is the first opportunity I've had to give careful consideration to the matter. He is absolutely correct. On that same evening, I was spending time with him before I ended u meeting with Ares."I—I really don't know what to say... But I do recall that we had a chance encounter that night. — But why didn't you inform me? Why did you keep it all these time and pretend like you didn't know who I was?" I inquired with a sense of curiosity.He let out a long sigh and then looked at me directly in the eyes. We saw another extended period of stillness between one another. I focused my eyes inward as I waited expectantly for him to provide me with some responses. I was unable to come up with any explanations for why he hid this information from me. Is it the reason why he assisted me the
He purchased an additional bottle of Carlo Rossi California Red and gave some of it to me to drink. I was extremely drunk at that moment, but because he had already handed me a glass of wine, there was nothing I could do except accept it. I couldn't deny it because it was already in my hands. As he began to recount his narrative, I raised my glass to my mouth and took a sip."Have you ever questioned whether or not you are someone who is deserving of love?" He inquired.It appears like this guy is brokenhearted like me. I felt so awful for him. I was almost ready to respond to his question when all of a sudden, he began talking again."Because I did. It all started with my parents, and now it involves a girl whom I've put my faith in for many years... You're probably aware of this, but it's terrible. Never had the opportunity to be raised by caring parents who would accept me for who I am and love me unconditionally...""Don't you have parents?" Curiosity got the better of me, and I a
KIAAs he resumed his remarks while walking toward the bookcase, he added, "I was right all along..." He then finished his statement after reaching the bookcase. "Because I had just recently run into you at the Shangri-La hotel the same night, the news that you had unexpectedly gotten married put a wrench into things. I had no idea that you were already married when I ran into you there. Do you have any recollection of our previous encounter? I was the one who was there with you, Kianna, when you were sobbing uncontrollably and consuming a whole bottle of wine at the same time."I am only able to stand there and watch with my eyes wide open, unable to close them, as though the entire world were crumbling and falling apart around me... I didn't even shake... Suddenly, I discovered that I was utterly paralyzed, and I had no notion what would happen as a result of what I had just heard... I had no idea what would happen.FLASHBACKI'm currently opening a bottle of Carlo Rossi California
KIA "He is a strong and capable man, Kianna! more powerful than you may have imagined." The phrase that has been running through my head since after Vince said that to me; I just can't seem to get rid of it. It has been going over and over in my thoughts till this very moment. Even though I have a lot of other things to think about, I can't stop thinking about it despite the fact that I have a lot of other things to think about. I have probably been gazing out the window for the better part of an hour at this point. The mere presence of this concept is causing me to start overanalyzing everything once more. It is still up to me to get started managing the initiatives that the organization needs to complete.I gave myself a mental shake and shook my head as I attempted to stop thinking about it. I was twirling my hair and resting my head on the back of my chair when all of a sudden someone appeared in front of me, and it was Nathan. Almost immediately, I straightened my hair and posi
