While they make side whispers in the table, their eyes widen in surprise at the way Mr Xander is acting this morning, from the surprise breakfast, now down to him asking that Susan come sit right next to him. His sister is still there, sitting close to John. Why didn't he call his twin? Just then, the gossip topic takes another level. "Is something going on between the boss and the departmental head, Susan?" Ketty and John are happy for the both of them. In fact, John and Ketty root out for them the most among everyone there.Susan, surprised, replies him. "Um, sure, sir." She stands up walking directly to the front end of the table. The lady attendant pulls out the chair for her as she gently takes her sit. He points with his hands, gesturing to the seat. "Right here, yes." As she takes her sit, he looks around the table for a hot meal he specially prepared for her for a reason only known to the both of them. The moment he sights it, he brings it closer while everyone else pays spec
Ava, having a lot of determination, as she no longer wants to act the good girl and be ignored in the crowd. With a bold and confident voice. "Yes! I deserve that promotion, and I will not let Susan take it away from me. I know Mr Xander likes her, but I'm going to make him like me more. Whatever it is she is doing, I will do more." With determination to win Xander, she stands by her words."Hmmm." Mrs Tina exhales, "Ava, that's not how it works. You can't force someone to love you. But you can make him or her see you even in the crowd. I know what ever am going to tell you might sound bad, but it's your only way out," she adds, slowly poisoning Ava's mind for evil."I know that, but I will not sit around and let Susan win just because she's the boss's favorite. I need to take action. I must take from what I plant." She says, insisting on the fact that she deserves the boss."Hmmm... Ava. I see you need my help and have this assurance that what I say is never a lie. Susan is his belov
Susan tries all she can to make Ava not think towards the direction of the things that have been transpiring this weekend in the hotel, from spending the night with Mr Xander to sitting next to him having breakfast. So agreeing to help Ava might probably prevent her from thinking badly about her as a man snatcher."Sure, I can do that. Don't worry about it. Is there anything else I can help you with?" She asks with a smile lighting up on her face.Ava surely has seen her way of being the best of friends with her, smiling back at her as all her plans are in check. "No, that's it for now. Thanks, Susan. You're a lifesaver.""No problem, Ava. We all need a little help sometimes. Just let me know if there's anything else I can do." "Will do that. Thanks again." Ava smiles as they hold hands together.Just then, they both stand up, packing their luggages as the time given to exit the room is almost out, taking time to pack up their little bags they brought, as they're done with that, they
It never crossed Susan's mind that Mr Xander will come to her place. Her plan was to tidy her house as soon as she was back then have an enjoyeable long rest. Hosting him was not even a plan or an idea. She can go over to his place but not the other way around, and right now, he needs rest from all the weekend activities after the party. Seeing him pulling on his shoes was really unbelievable. They didn't even talk or think about it in the hotel room and driving back together. Now this shows her that beyond their normal rubbing of minds, he thinks about them in his own way and how he wants them to be, just as he planned the night after the party.Still standing, observing him, all surprised, she locks up the door, heading into her house. Xander follows her into her house, excitingly exclaiming, "I can't wait to spend the whole Sunday with you!" Susan turns around at the sudden announcement, but can't help but smile at Xander's enthusiasm."Okay, let's get you settling in," Susan says,
Xander slowly opens his eyes, feeling Susan's warmth against his chest. He looks at the clock on his nightstand and realizes that it's already past seven o'clock in the evening. He gently pats her hair and whispers into her eyes softly, "Hey, wake up, sleepyhead." Smiling with beams of happiness.She stares around for a while and slowly opens her eyes, looking up at him. Seeing the smile on his face, she smiles back at him. "Hey, what time is it?" she asks as she observes the sky through the window. She stands up, still groggy from sleep."It's past seven, and I need to get going." He replies to her, sitting up in bed.Susan, sitting up as well, rubs her eyes. "Already? You're leaving now?" she asks, with a hint of disappointment in her voice.He gives her a reassuring smile. "Yes, but don't worry, I'll be back soon. You need to get some rest, so you'll be fresh from work tomorrow. From now henceforth, I will visit you and whenever I drop you off from work, we'll have dinner before I
As John drives to drop ketty home, he changes route. Before she could ask him where they are headed. "Hey Ketty, let's go check out my house! I want you to know my place, come and visit when possible and if you want to come sleep over. Though most of the time I come back here only during weekends." He says to her. "Though I don't come back week days but because I now have a baby who will eagerly wait for me, I will try coming back once or twice before the week runs out, and am back for the weekend." He assures her."Sure, I'd love to do that and seeing you it is! A great joy, but if you don't come to me, I will come to you at your workplace, agreed?" She concurs with him, giving him her own part.Still shocking at how open she is and the fact she has her own confidence makes him happy. He smiles, bursting out to laugh at her, "Alright, let's go. We are almost close to my place. It's not too far from here." He gives her hope, as their journey is quite a long one, though not far anymore
Monday mornings are always a rush for workers, especially Mr Xander. He groggily wakes up, his eyes still adapting to the early morning light. He quickly gets out of bed and heads to the bathroom to brush his teeth and take a shower, as it's Monday and work calls. As he steps out of the shower, he takes glances at the clock and realizes that he needs to hurry if he wants to beat the morning traffic and accomplish seeing Susan this morning. He quickly puts on his clothes and rushes out of the door, grabbing his keys from the table on his way out.He hops into his car and starts the engine, ready to face another day at work. But today, he has a surprise in store for his one and only baby, Susan. He makes a stop on his way and picks her up to work. As he drives towards Susan's place, he can feel the adrenaline pumping through his veins. He's happy, expecting to see the look on her face when she sees him. As he pulls up outside her apartment, he sees her stepping out of the building."Sur
It's Tuesday morning, after yesterday's busy day, after Mr Xander drops her off after work before going home. Susan's phone rings loudly, waking her up with a frown on her. She steals a glance at the screen of her phone, bleary-eyed, and saw that it was Ava calling. She hesitates for a moment, wondering why Ava was calling her at this hour, but then she answers the call. "Hello?" she says slowly."Susan, it's Ava," saying urgently. "I just got a call from Mr Dickson. He wants you to meet him at a hotel this morning to discuss some business updates. He's driving and can't meet you in his office."Susan's heart races. Mr Dickson is one of the key client, and any meeting with him is important. She quickly runs through her daily schedule for the day, trying to figure out what she will wear that fits in this meeting. "What time does he want us to meet him?" she asks Ava.Without hesitation "At 8:00 a.m.," Ava replies here.Susan checks her phone and sees that it's already 6:15 a.m. She kno
