Dylan chuckles as the elevator doors open to reveal a large workspace with many cubicles. Computers or laptops on each table, only a few towards the floor to ceiling windows are empty.

A man walks over to meet them. "Good morning. Just on time. Punctuality is very important when you work here. The other interns are sitted over there..." He points to a large conference room just opposite the empty table. "Join them. You will be briefed by the boss on your place while you work here."

They nod their thanks to him and walk into the conference room to meet three other people.

Samantha looks around and she sees the lady that she sat with on the physical interview day. Happy to recognize someone in the room, she takes her seat beside her.

"Hi. I remember you. I'm Samantha." Sam formally introduces herself, holding her hands out for a shake.

She looks at her outstretched hand but does not take it. "I'm Cheryl." She states coldly and looks away.

Dylan shrugs at her from opposite her.

    Seventeen minutes later, Samantha drops the large document on the woman's table. She looks up at her blankly for a second and then remembers."I thought I said ten minutes?"Samantha groans. "Two of the copiers...""Are you about to start giving excuses for your tardiness? So unprofessional. If you can't handle all this on the first day, it will be better for us all if you quit." She snickers evilly and takes the document to herself. "You didn't arrange them in order? I should be collecting six of these documents from you right now." She slams them on the table and stands up.Not wanting to cause a scene, Samantha grabs the document, trying to smile politely. "I'll go arrange it right now. Please don't be annoyed." She leaves back for the copier room. It takes her all of five minutes to arrange everything in order and take them back again."Finally." She looks through the documents. "You can go." She says, without a thank you or anything. As soon as Samantha turns her back, she throws

  • I Got Married, SO WHAT?!   Breaking the Rules.

    Exhausted after walking around the whole day, the five new interns find their way back to their temporary office. Dreading the fact that she was being ordered around, Samantha is initially hesitant but Dylan drags her along anyway."You have to show them you're not scared. Even if you're being ordered around, stick with it and they will get tired. Infact, laugh at their jokes too and they will think you're cool and possibly even make friends with you.""Dylan, that's a big stretch. I don't want to make friends with those people."Dylan pulls her along with him inside. She breathes a sigh of relief when she sees the empty chair of that woman, Daniella.And then she notices the empty table as well, also everyone who's there looking at her and then whispering amongst themselves.What did she do to warrant such cold treatment anyway? That she spoke her mind to the boss?That man? He may be fine and all, also helped her out of a sticky situation but then, he's just as rude as the next big

    She hits the ground on her backside hard. The man in the elevator just watches her, his face expressionless. She grunts and stands up immediately."Breaking rules on the first day... That's quite a record you're setting for yourself." He states sarcastically.She bows immediately. "I'm sorry sir. I left my phone upstairs in the office.""Careless... Clumsy... Classless... I can find many c words to define you right now."She forgets her boss to employee manners and give him a dirty look. "What do you know about me that gives you the right to insult me like this?"Claude snickers. "I know a woman with class won't kiss just anybody outside, a stranger at that."Startled by his words, she turns red. He remembers her after all.He sidesteps her and exits the elevator.She steps inside and turns to face him but his back is turned to her. "No man with class will grope such a woman who has no class."Without waiting for his response, she hurriedly presses the elevator button to take her to t

    Elena speaks in her full voice volume. "Here are your designated work stations. We have watched each and everyone of you for a full week and now we've decided. First of all, please pass back the temporary lanyards you were given a week ago."All of five of them pass back the red stringed ID to the man standing beside Elena.She smiles professionally and holds out a document in her hands. "Now, I'll call your names and where you'll end up for the rest of your years with us here at Whyte Group. Mr Firez Sanchez?""Yes ma'am?""You've been posted to Protocol. Congratulations."Firez gives a small clap and smiles."Mr Roland Woods, Management, Congratulations. Mr Dylan Sharma, Human Resource Management, Congratulations. Cheryl Drayton..." Elena skips the Miss and just calls her plainly, with a small smile just asking for trouble but Cheryl is not payng attention to that.All she wants is in her head. "... Accounting." Elena announces, smiling almost too brightly. "Congratulations."Cheryl

    She listens as everyone fusses over him and then she sighs when she hears the sound of his door close.No normal human would hear that but she was peeping so she was able to hear it, as silently as the door closed.She leans on the door and takes a very deep breath.Looking again at the tray in her arms, she smiles at it and squares her shoulders. She walks towards Elena's table right by his door but she just waves her in, not looking at what she's holding.Samantha knocks gently on the door and opens.Claude is standing by his coat hook, hanging his black suit jacket on the small hoop when he turns around to see the intruder.Without giving her any hint to be at peace, he just sits on his chair and watches her.She also stands by the door, watching him and expecting his approval to come in.She sighs Elena just waving her hand through the glass door, motioning her to go ahead.She swallows and walks to Claude, without exchanging any greetings or formalities, she drops the cream colo

  • I Got Married, SO WHAT?!   Left Behind in more ways than One.

    Samantha takes an unconscious step backwards. "You're joking?""I don't joke about serious things. You are not married, not engaged, not seeing anyone and still recovering from a failed wedding... One which you proposed to me in..."Samantha gasps. Ever since she saw him, something had been tugging at the back of her mind but she didn't know what it is. Now that he mentioned it himself, he looks exactly like the stranger she had kissed at her sister's wedding for spite.Claude smiles slyly. "Now you remember. You proposed to me and I said yes, now I'm proposing to you, I'm joking?" He stands up from his chair and wanders to her side, using his pointer to raise her chin up to his level, "You kissed me, remember?""Ah!""Yes. You remember very clearly..." He goes back to his seat and loses the smile "It's not a real marriage anyway, you just be my wife for a year.""No." She replies abruptly, knowing in her that she has jumped into one trap already, jumping head first into another will

    Samantha collapses on the chair in the living room she shares with Renee."Aargh." She mumbles as she kicks off her shoes. She eyes the pretty red heels and kicks them away."Welcome. What took you so long today?" Renee welcomes her, stirring spoon on her right hand and glove on the left."Ugh. We got our office placements today."Renee lights up. "Really? That should be good news shouldn't it? Did they stress you out where you worked?""Actually, I got posted to the CEO's office."Renee smiles even further. "That's the best. That means you're the best amongst this year's interns. So, that has not explained why you look so stressed.""Do you remember at Taylor's wedding, I randomly kissed a man?""Yes..." Her eyes widen as soon as she replies. "Don't tell me...?""Yes. It's him. The CEO of Whyte group. Also turns out to be the man I trash talked to at my interview."Renee's mouth is in a round and complete O.Samantha sighs. "I'm already worried, don't make it worse for me. Do you kno

    Her cloth stained, Samantha enters the elevator.Thankfully, she is the only one in it at that moment and she just rides it straight up to her floor. She jumps out of there and runs for her office, not greeting or saying hi to anyone, not even Elena.She makes it in her office and heads immediately for her bathroom after picking a new set of clothes in the closet.In the bathroom, she fumes, partly at herself and at Cheryl while slightly picking out pieces of vegetables from her hair and recombing so she won't a thing."Why? Why would she target me like that? She doesn't even know anything about me. First assuming that I gave the CEO myself and now, she calls me an incompetent bitch?"She washes off the stains off her body and her clothes, still talking to herself. "I am so stupid. Why did I just run? I should have stood up for myself. Now I let them all think I'm pathetic. Damn it."A soft knock at her door brings her back to reality."One minute please." She calls out and changes in

    Taylor and her mother sit in front of the television, watching the morning news on the same day, waiting to see the lineup of the headlines, smiling and chatting amongst themselves, waiting for the news they want to see and hear.Mr Stiles walks in and sees them in a gleeful mood, given that he knows his wife and daughter, normally, they would not be awake by that time of the day, especially when it's a Saturday and a day after a late night dinner. What's more, they are smiling in front of the television and chatting. He takes a seat on the big couch, watching them.Taylor sees him first. "Oh, Good morning Dad. Did you sleep well?""Shouldn't I be asking you and your mum the same thing? What's so fun on the TV that's keeping you awake?""I'm refreshed though." His wife smiles at him, subtly glancing at the news. "And aren't you the one always nagging us about watching the early morning news?"Mr Stiles shrugs. "If you say so then. What's on?""Ugh.

    Claude glances at her through the rear view mirror. "I don't know actually. I just didn't feel like."Sam dips her hand into her bag and produces a tie clip with a platinum lion and an almost illegible carved name. "C.W. I don't know why I never thought it could have been you. I've kept it since then, it was the only thing I had left from that... Unfortunate night.""Unfortunate?""That same night then into the next day, I lost many things. My family, my integrity, my name.""Let me ask you one thing, don't you think sooner or later, you would have lost them?"Sam frowns. "What do you mean by that?""Isn't it better that you found out before the marriage? What if you caught Mark and Taylor later when you're married? Won't that be worse?""Hm. I never thought of it that way but you're right. I should be happy for all I've got now right?"Claude smiles. "In plain words, be happy you have me. My name will replace the one you lost."Samantha laughs. "You know you can be a proud little nar

    For a particular female, the night was a hectic one, didn't get good sleep and then was haunted by full images of herself, drugged and completely out of it, dressed in a pink gown, short hair bouncing in every direction, walking down a hallway to the wrong room, admiring a strange man's husky voice while thinking of her fiancee and passing out right under him.What used to be a nightmare.Samantha wakes up with a jerk, sweaty all over even though the windows are open and the room is cool.Her eyes go straight to the clock on the wall and it's already eight thirty am. "Shit."First word of the day, is a curse word. Can the day get any better? Now that she knows fully well that the man that always lurked at the back of her mind, always seeming familiar and distant at the same time, is her boss and the same man that the whole world knows she is engaged to.The same man who managed to show up everytime she's going through a moment, embarrassing or not.In an hour, she's sitting down at

    Later that day, Claude returns home and meets the place empty.Samantha had left before he returned.He sighs and goes back to the living room to take a seat, worried for her sake.What could the woman have done to deserve such hate? Not only from her own family now but almost everyone around her.Thinking of that, he dials Elena. "Yes sir?""Where's the footage I asked you to analyze and get for me?""I had it on top of your desk today but since you were not in...""Send it to me now."While waiting, he goes to get a glass of water from his kitchen and sees a memo stuck on his fridge.Smiling slightly, he plucks it off the cold metal and reads it."Thank you very much for everything. I guess I'll see you again..." Signed "your fiancee."He laughs, his mood boosted up ten times.He grabs his phone, muttering to himself. "I need to make some calls and urgent changes before work begins next week."While he's furiously typing on his phone, he receives a video message from Elena which he

    Taylor paces around and around her home, grunting and stamping her foot from time to time in anger in frustration.Mark brings her a glass of coffee and sits down opposite her, watching her every action. "Are you really this bothered?" He inquires, his hand supporting his chin.Taylor looks at him, her expression masked, except the anger. "Yes, I am that bothered. How did she manage to get a man like..." She glances at Mark and stops short."A man like...?""I mean, Mr Whyte is too good for her don't you think? She must have seduced him or something. I still can't believe her proposed to her so publicly. Let me tell you something, their marriage is already doomed."Mark cocks his head to the side. "She didn't break the glass at your feet yesterday did she? You did it yourself to grab attention and make her look bad. I knew Sam before I knew you and she absolutely hates confrontations. She didn't break the glass."Taylor scoffs. "So, you're believing her over me?""I'm just stating the

    Claude stands by the rail, watching her intently."Are you naive or are you pretending to be a nice person?"Samantha looks up. "What? I'm not naive.""Then you're just nice. You let them walk over you ever opportunity they get. How is that worth anything? You're not planning on getting any revenge? You're going to just have cat fights and then be seen as the loser?"Sam's eyes start to glisten. "You don't get to say that. Do you even have any idea what happened? Who they meant to me before this whole things? Before things went to fuck?""Yes. I didn't know you before this but I knew you right from the start of it all."Sam frowns but doesn't pursue the matter. "Then you'll know that I was treated unfairly.""Exactly. You are the victim so why are you giving her the chance to play your role?"Sam understands everything he's saying but it's still a big blow to her to hear the truth so bluntly."Samantha."

    At the venue, there's a long line of cars, arranged in a line and at the red carpet, the occupants of the car exit, take some pictures and make their way to the venue.It's more like a Celebrity award show than a Dinner amongst Business owners.In their defence though, these business owners and the top 1 percent of the whole country so why not show off their glam?Claude grunts. "Did they need to make the entry this lavish?" He asks no one in particular as he fishes in his pocket for something. He brings out a pair of white gloves and puts them on.He sees Sam watching and he smiles slightly. "Wondering what it is for? Don't worry, you'll find out soon enough. I don't like to publish it either."Samantha wonders what he's talking about but doesn't have to for long as it's their turn to get off the car. "Stay in here, I'll open the door for us both." He exits the car and walks to the other side to open the door for Sam.He extends his hand out to her just like before, and this time, s

This combination looks perfect for a dinner."He checks his watch and takes the elevator downstairs deliberately.Downstairs, he calls Elena and tells her to tell Samantha to meet him downstairs in five minutes or she will have to meet him at the venue.His message is delivered and although Sam is done getting dressed, she looks at herself over and over again, wondering if she did right with her choice of clothing, also hoping she will not embarrass herself in front of those despicable duo.She peeks on her table and sees the box of rings that Taylor had asked for. She decided she'd rather give it to them by herself than mail it.Samantha tucks her hair behind her ear once more and grabs her bag and iPad.She's still going to the party as his secretary so she has to be official and dressed to perfection.Elena had told her she looked perfect earlier but she's still n
