MeganI looked everywhere, hunting Tristan down for a confrontation. My heart pounded with anger, and my fists clenched at my sides. I couldn't bear the humiliation since we saw each other at the party. My eyes darted around, scanning every corner of the venue, but I couldn’t find even a shadow of Tristan."Arghh! Where the hell are you, Tristan?!" I muttered through gritted teeth, my voice a low growl.Passing by the lobby, I finally saw him sitting down. My heels clicked loudly on the floor, echoing my fury as I approached. Heads turned, and I relished the attention. Tristan didn’t notice me at first, but as soon as I stood behind him with my arms crossed tightly over my chest, he quickly turned around and saw me. His face twisted into a scoff, and he started to leave without saying a word.But I was faster. I grabbed his arm, my nails digging into his skin. "Where do you think you're going?" I burst out loud, my voice shaking with rage.He quickly shoved my arm away, and I felt his
Megan "Hey, you! Give me another glass!"I leaned my head against my hands on the table, taking a deep breath while muttering curses about Elaine into the thin air. The bartender silently placed my order, giving me an uncomfortable look before going back to cleaning and wiping some glasses. I downed the drink like it was cold water."One glass of what the other lady ordered, please."I heard a voice from my left side and turned to see a she-wolf sitting close to me. I gave her a once-over from head to foot and rolled my eyes. The lady just chuckled and told the bartender, "Make that two. Hers is already empty."Hearing this, I spat out mean words. "Oh please, bitch. I have more money than you think. I can buy you that drink for eternity."The she-wolf removed her glasses and put them down on the table. Our orders came, but I didn’t even bother to look at them. Feeling the irritation bubbling up inside me, I continued."Find somewhere else to sit, cunt," I gave her another look from
ElaineFour weeks had passed since we began our collaboration with Everett Innovations. During that time, Nancy, Marie, the Roma Aesthetics team, and I spent countless hours at the Marriott Building, fine-tuning every detail of our project. The collaboration had exceeded all our expectations, and the results were nothing short of spectacular.Today was our final day before the big presentation. The atmosphere inside Roma Aesthetics was electric with anticipation and excitement. Our entire team gathered to celebrate our achievements and the hard work that had brought us to this point. Laughter and animated conversations filled the room as we reminisced about the journey and speculated about tomorrow’s presentation.Marie, my closest colleague and friend, was beaming with pride. She had been instrumental in steering our project in the right direction, and her enthusiasm was infectious. No wonder she was awarded as an employee of the year for Roma thrice in a row. That surely was a testa
ElaineThe day of the presentation finally arrived, and Roma Aesthetics was filled with excitement. The entire venue had a special energy. The grand ballroom was beautifully decorated. Soft, warm lights made the room glow with a golden color. The high ceilings had chandeliers that sparkled, and the walls were covered in rich, ivory fabric, creating a calm and elegant look.Every detail was carefully planned. We hired the best events team to make sure everything went smoothly. As our VIP guests arrived, they walked past flower arrangements of white roses and lilies. Servers moved through the room, offering glasses of champagne. The air was filled with the fresh scent of flowers and the delicious smell of appetizers.This day was very important for us as it was the launch of our marketing campaign for Bride Essentials, the top bridal couture brand on the continent. We were about to reveal Timeless Elegance, a new collection from them that also introduced the company’s rebranding. The col
ElaineI held my breath, hoping the presentation would go smoothly. The room was quiet, except for the soft hum of people waiting. My hands were sweaty, and my heart raced. This moment was important for all of us. Everything depended on it going well. All the hard work and sleepless nights we had put in were now resting on these slides going off without a hitch.As the first slides began to play, I started to feel a bit calmer. The images were clear and beautiful, just like they had been during our practice. The colors were vibrant, and the designs looked flawless. I could hear a few guests quietly admiring the slides. For the first time that evening, I allowed myself to relax. Maybe everything would be okay after all.Then the voiceover began, resonating through the room with clarity and professionalism, enhancing the presentation. I noticed the guests leaning forward, fully engaged, their attention captured. The atmosphere in the room became more focused, and I felt a small smile fo
ElaineI felt my heart sink further as the room seemed to close in on me. Nancy’s face turned red with anger. The light from the big chandeliers made her look even more intense. “That bitch!” she shouted, her voice echoing in the large room. “She sabotaged the event, didn’t she?”“No, Nancy,” I begged, my voice shaking. “Marie would never do that!”Nancy’s eyes were like fire as she turned to face me. The fancy decorations and plush seats seemed to make her anger even more intense. “Then who did, Elaine? Only you and Marie had access to the file! If it wasn’t her and it wasn’t you, then who?”Tears blurred my vision, but I had no answers. I was as lost as everyone else, standing there as the dream we had all worked so hard for crumbled to dust.To make matters worse, Mr. Smith, his wife, and the rest of our partners approached. The Chairman of Bride Essentials, Lauren Yang, looked particularly furious. I could feel her sharp gaze cutting through me like a knife.“What is going on her
Elaine The air felt heavy, and the distant voices from the event I had just left made me feel even more alone. My heart pounded in my chest, each beat loud in my ears. I tried to breathe deeply, but the tightness in my chest made it hard.When I looked up, I saw Megan and Tristan walking towards me. They were framed by the warm, fading light, making the moment feel unreal. Megan walked with confidence, almost like she was hunting me. Tristan’s steps were slower, his eyes fixed on me. The difference between them was clear. Megan had a small, sly smile on her face, while Tristan’s expression was hard to comprehend. A knot formed in my stomach as they got closer. Fear and anxiety washed over me, knowing that nothing good could come from this. My pulse raced, and my body tensed as if I were preparing for something bad to happen. I wanted to run, to escape this situation, but my feet felt like they were glued to the floor.They stopped in front of me, and I saw the glint in Megan’s eyes.
ElaineI noticed the look of dislike on Tristan’s face the moment he saw Trevor. His lips twisted into a frown, and his eyes narrowed as if he was upset. The air felt heavy with tension, and my heart started to beat faster with worry. But before I could think too much about it, Trevor was suddenly beside me.Trevor’s presence was comforting. His hands were gentle as they touched my shoulders, helping me stand up straight. His grip was firm but kind, steadying me in a way that made me feel safe. The warmth from his hands eased the tight feeling in my chest, and I began to feel a little better.“Elaine, are you alright?” His voice was soft and full of concern. “I heard what happened in the news and rushed over. I needed to see you, to make sure you were okay.”I nodded, unable to find the right words. I was grateful for Trevor’s presence, the way he always seemed to show up when I needed someone the most. As I nodded, I felt the tension in his body ease, as if he was relieved just to he
