"Have you seen Sir Seph's girlfriend?"
"I did! She was in the elevator line with us this morning. I didn't know she's also an employee here."
"She's actually his secretary. I haven't seen her in person but I saw the paps pictures. She's pretty. But I don't know how to feel about her..."
"Oh, trust me, she's very nice. Our boss is definitely in good hands."
"Hmm... I just didn't expect Sir Seph would choose someone who isn't in his level."
"I know. But it's not right to judge her base on her financial stability. I think she's really a nice person."
"Hmm... we'll see about that."
I stepped out of the cubicle once I'm sure the women were gone. I looked at my reflection in the mirror and sighed wearily before running my fingers along my shoulder level hair.
People have mix opinion about me. But I guess I'll take it rather than having all of them thinking I'm not good enough for him. At least some of them are on my sid

I could remember the excitement on my face before I completely embarrassed myself in front of Juno. I was, once again, fixing my tie and hair in my bathroom mirror when my stomach betrayed me.And now, I have to suffer in humiliation while listening to her die out in laughter from the other side of the door. I groaned out in utter frustration.I have to spend twenty minutes more of my time in the toilet before I successfully shit out my intestines. I glared at Juno as soon as I stepped out of my bathroom door. The freaking bitch was sitting pretty on my swivel chair while smirking haughtily at me."Did you wash your hands?""Out!" I yelled as I felt my face gone red once again.She rose from her seat and sauntered towards me. She then patted my back while making fake emphatic expressions on her face. "It's okay. Don't be shy now, babe. I, too, had that experience a while ago."I shot her another glare. "What experienc

“You must have flushed your brain along with your shit,” I chuckled at his joke before pushing the door open to get off his car.I gritted my teeth in irritation when the paparazzi hurriedly ran nearer my direction to start taking pictures. There were four of them, all men and old hags. How creepy and maddening. I can’t imagine turning myself to a freaking stalker to earn for a living.Jupiter catch up to me and snaked his arm around my body. He pulled me closer to him as we sprinted fast inside the building. He didn’t let me go until we reach my floor. And like the usual, Pickle was already there to welcome us with her loud meows.He plopped to my couch and Pickle hastily jumped to his lap. I threw my bag beside him and stood in front of him, arms crossed defensively.“So what do you suggest with do with those motherfuckers?”Jupiter shrugged nonchalantly which irritated me more. I kicked his leg a

I’ve been feeling anxious the whole time I stepped inside Juno’s apartment. There’s this tiny gut feeling inside me like I forgot something so important. I was sure Juno has been watching me murmur to myself the whole time; and I’m certain she thinks I was complaining about doing the dishes.My head cocked in bafflement as I tried to remember everything I’ve done today. Meetings, reviewing of project proposals, cancellation of appointment and site visit… which I’m sure are nothing important.The doorbell rang and I expected it would be my laptop. And just as I heard the chiming sound, it lit up a bulb inside my head. Oh, shit! I remember now! I have a meeting with Mr. Alonzo which I unfortunately canceled! It was hard to book an appointment with him since he’s a huge businessman in our field. Always busy and in-demand, which makes it hard to reach out to him.My father has been eyeing him for a long

We're halfway through the movie and Jupiter hasn't said a single word to me since the film began. Though, he'd let out some occasional gasps everytime the movie was getting intense. He was so tense and stiff beside me.I chuckled inwardly to myself. I failed to focus on the film since I'd rather watch his hilarious reactions. Who the hell is he kidding? Not scared, huh? I caught the horror in his eyes when I suggested to turn off the lights earlier."Hmm..." I grabbed the pillow beside me and scooted further away from him, settling myself on the sofa's edge. The laptop was right in front of his face and good thing the screen's pretty wide so I can still see what's happening. And as I was observing the current scene, I'm certain a jump scare is on its way to scare the bejesus out of him.I smirked when I felt him unconsciously moving closer to me. My eyes were fixed on the screen, waiting for the jump scare to come, while he's getting closer and close

I parked on my usual spot and pounded on the steering wheel when I realized what have I done. I just got in the parking lot of my condominium and my head was clouded the whole time I was driving home. “My gosh? That was so…” I groaned out loud, irritated to myself. I stomped my feet repeatedly and even accidentally pressed on the car honk while I was lightly punching the steering wheel. I must’ve looked like an absolute drama queen in front of her! I felt so ridiculously embarrassed as I am trying to remember my action and the words I’ve spat out to her. I don’t think I can face her tomorrow without turning myself into a freaking tomato! I sat for a few more minutes inside my car before finally deciding to bring myself out. I grabbed the laptop beside me, which I forgot to put in its case ‘cause I was in a hurry to walk out from her. I cringed to myself again as I proceeded to glare on the laptop. I should’ve just accepted her offer to

An exhausted sigh escaped my lips as I stared lazily at my dull ceiling. It’s six in the morning and I’ve been awake for thirty minutes now but I couldn’t seem to bring myself out of the bed. I’m still fully occupied about our small fight last night. It was the last thought in my head before I fell asleep and also the first when I woke up this morning. Pickled meowed and stretched her limbs beside me. The cat then jumped off the bed, then hopped back in not even five seconds later. “Stupid cat,” I murmured groggily. I yawned and stretched my arms just like her. Good thing I was still able to get a proper sleep last night despite the horror film we’ve watched. And well, to be fair, I wasn’t really paying full attention to it. I forcefully pushed to my feet and started getting ready for work. I was moving so slow and took nearly an hour in the shower so I panicked when I realized I’m running out of time. Shit! I have to be there before Ju

Javier Alonzo's limousine brought us to his home where a small intimate birthday celebration is happening. I was hesitant and shy to dine in with them at first. But when I noticed the warning flashing in the old man's eyes, I swallowed the shyness in my throat and settled on the seat beside his eldest son.They're a family of lawyers and businessmen. And his wife was a beauty queen! I saw her pageant on the television when I was a mere kid. I remembered holding back the shriek wanting to escape from my mouth while silently cheering for her.Sitting in front of me was a girl who seemed to be a high school student based on her uniform. She was looking at me with wide eyes and gaped mouth. I tried to smile at her but it came out very awkward. Her eyes widened even more.She received a nudge from the boy beside her when he notices her gaze towards me. They must've been siblings because of the resemblance on their faces. They could be twins

Sir Sebastian even made a short speech earlier, praising Jupiter to the fullest because of this success.Monica was beside me with her pasta and steak while having her full attention on the phone.

He sat in between me and Monica who remained sneering at her phone. I cleared my throat awkwardly when he
