"Huh? How did you get my contact number?” I asked nervously."Because I have my ways, Lia. So, how are you?" His voice became serious, "I heard your family is filing a lawsuit, unfortunately..."I snorted loudly, "Yes, unfortunately, we don't have a match." I finished what he had to say.Both lines were silent for a while, I didn't know what to say again either."Do you want me to help you, guys?" He spoke again, the sincerity in his voice was obvious. "If I give a statement, the case process will be easier."I shook my head even though I knew he couldn't see me, "I don't want to drag in our problem and your name become on the bad side of others, another thing is that your business might be affected by chance." I walked away from my parent’s room. “I will just hope we can find a better way to fight the case.""Method? What method is better than my statement?” He asked curiously, "Are you planning to use money too?""Hmm... I don't know yet, are you sure you're ready to help us?" It's
Darius's POV“Good evening, Sir!” The bar host greeted me, I just nodded in response and hurriedly walked up to the second floor where Craig's office was. I couldn't even knock, I immediately opened it loudly."The f*ck, what is your problem?!" The surprise on his face was obvious, "isn't it your style to knock?"He covered his cell phone as if he didn't want the other person to hear what he was saying, "Tsk, why not end that call first? I need something from you, it's important." I sat on the sofa and looked at him seriously.He didn't seem to have anything to do so he hung up and got up from where he was sitting and moved to the sofa in front of me. "What important thing do you want us to talk about now, Bro? Did your mother contact you again or did something happen in the company?”"Nothing like that happened, but I heard something that amused me for real." I sarcastically said that his forehead immediately furrowed even more."I don't know what it is but yeah, spill the beans." He
Lia’s POVI hadn't slept that long when I woke up to a noise from outside the house, I slowly opened my eyes and got off the bed to turn on the light.When my eyes were finally adjusted to the light, I approached the window to open the curtain, I immediately gasped as people's cameras began to light up.Why there were so many people waiting for me outside the house? I quickly pulled the curtain closed again with my cold and trembling hand."Lia, are you awake yet?" it was mom's voice, her concern was obvious. "I'm going in." The door slowly opened and she rushed to me to hug me. "Everything will be fine, just trust us with your father we can do it."She gently caressed my back over and over again, "Call your work first that you still can't come in today, if they fire you, we will just move to another city or just go back to the province, even if we move to another country it will be fine.""What do you mean we're leaving? Our family is not doing anything wrong, they are lying. If we l
"Slowly, Lia, take off your shorts and panties." He ordered on the other line using his sexy voice, "Then slowly separate your legs, imagine that I'm in front of you and I'm watching you."I lay down put my cell phone on the pillow opposite my ear and started doing what he said, I slowly removed my jeans shorts, and panties. I looked between my thighs when I saw my reflection in the mirror, I should have been disappointed because it wasn't him, I saw but instead, I felt more warmth in my body."I-I’m done doing what you said, w-what should I do next..." I whispered while still not losing sight of my reflection in the mirror, I saw how my neck and cheeks started to turn red."That’s good to hear baby, now slowly insert your hand into your shirt. Are you wearing a bra, babe?” He whispered again, his voice seemed to be right next to my ear to the point that I could feel his hot breath."N-no, I didn't wear it so you could easily touch my breast and play my nipple." Even though I said t
I couldn't stop my tears from flowing down my cheeks, in the blink of an eye my life was almost messed up just because of one mistake I made. Now a video is circulating and we don't know who did it.It contains a compilation of videos of women who received sexual harassment from Nicky, it also includes other interviews with other women who bravely spoke out even though their faces were blurred."I dared to speak because of the news about his new victim, I realized that we can have a voice even if our opponent is rich." her eyes were full of tears, and she could barely speak because of how she kept sobbing."I'm so pathetic back then, I chose to keep quiet because I was afraid that I would look bad but look at her, she didn't hide in the dark and let herself suffer alone. Nicky deserves to receive such punishment.”They all say that I gave them the courage to speak up and fight what happened to them, and I'm happy to know that.Honestly, I never thought or expected that I would receive
"Welcome back, Lia!" My co-workers who were also new to the company shouted, and a few from different departments also welcomed me. "You did well!" they added.Oh! I prepared for it, but my tears still started to come out even though I didn't want to. I was overwhelmed by such events, my nervousness and fear before entering was replaced by joy."Thank you, guys!" I gave them the biggest and most genuine smile, "I didn't expect you to welcome me." As I held the small bouquet of roses."Well, it's not just welcome. We would like to congratulate you on the case, we know you have had a hard time but look at you, still strong!” Sheena said, she came to me and hugged me tightly.I can say that Sheena is good at making friends with everyone, she quickly adjusts to the people around her and I admire her for it. I'm happy to work with her, she's like a sister to me somehow."Enough, we have to go back to our jobs. It's only a few weeks until the summer fest," one of them said suddenly as the a
"This one is nice, but the year 20XX has a similar design like this. So, I don't think we can use it at the summer fest." The first design was rejected, and that made the atmosphere in the surroundings even heavier.Darius did not even blink when he gave it back to the one who made it.Darius's aura during the first meeting was far away compared to now, his face was very serious and he was really listening to every detail of the design involved.His answer was the same as earlier, they received one rejection after another.Kyler stood up next, this time somehow giving me hope that there would finally be an entry option for design.Kyler began to show the detailed design until the slide was finished. "this one can be available in different sizes without ruining the beauty of design, so everyone can receive the same quality."It was obvious that his co-workers were amazed, and even I understood why his design was always chosen in previous years.Darius cleared his throat which made us l
"Okay, guys! Keep working, we need to pull more overtime this time!” Everyone was tired, but because Darius had given the signal to try to make a sample of the approved design with different sizes, everyone became even busier.His meetings for the summer fest have been one after the other, every company who joins the summer fest needs to coordinate because it is a big help for the promotion of their product.The only sad thing is that I haven't seen Kyler since they presented the designs they created, and neither do his coworkers know what happened. But even so, Darius acted as if nothing had happened."What are you thinking?" He poked my cheek with his index finger, "Is it Kyler again the one you're worried about because he's not coming in?""Uhm, don't you even think about what might have happened to him? The rejection he received from you, had a big impact on him." I said sadly."I don't know why you are so affected by what happened to him but Lia, don't forget that rejection is a
