“He lied to you, Unique. I wouldn't use you to forget her.”

Lucas is standing in front of me, and both of his hands are making gestures as he continue to talk. I sit comfortably on my swivel chair; convincing myself not to take every word out of his mouth too seriously.

I was about to do make an ‘anonymous’ agreement with the people that Bryce has transactions with. But then, this man showed up.

“I know that I should've told you from the very beginning. But I thought that it would be more fragile if I mention her name to you.”

Yeah, right. More fragile, my ass. He's kind of making a point, and I know that I will instantly flinch once he mentions her name. But I still do think that it might've been better if he told me as early as it can be.

Because right now, I can't think of any good reason why he wants to make it up to me this time.

Nothing as good as his aim to show her that he's better with me.

“I'm sor—”

    After all the interactions that I have made with the customers, I finally get to head to my office to have a short rest. It’s quite draining to entertain people, and sometimes people on the internet tend to forget that.They tend to forget that celebrities are also humans. We also get tired.“What’s that?” Instead of greeting Rina, a question gets ahead of me with my interest being caught by the bouquet of white roses on my table.“Oh, someone sent this for you, ma’am.” Rina is in between of keeping her smile or letting it show because it’s starting to creep in. She’s losing to herself because I can see that she’s also intrigued.“There’s a card in between the flowers, but all I saw was the name of the receiver.” She hides her face by covering it with her hand. But before she can even fully hide it from me, my eyes already saw that she’s blushing.“Let me kill your curiosity for you, Rina.” I chuckle, as I walk to my table to see the card myself.My hand quickly picks up the card that

    “She’s so secretive, and sometimes it makes me wonder how those two suddenly found their way to each other and became a couple.”This woman beside me is now spilling too much information that I’m unaware of if I’m even allowed to know it.I haven’t even moved past the fact that Bryce Tryst has a girlfriend, and this woman here decided to blabber on and on.“Their relationship is so private that they can’t be seen together in public. My friend said she feels like Bryce is hiding her, but somehow, she was able to shrug it out of her system. He showers her lavish gifts though.”It doesn’t feel like she’s here with me to buy an engagement ring anymore. A little bit of this TMI chat, I will start felling like Bryce hired her to pester me today.But why would he? The hell I care if he has a girlfriend.“I mean, what else is there to need, right? If I were in her shoes, I wouldn’t even feel like my boyfriend is hiding me. I will feel like I’m single instead, and I’m undeniably rich. How good

    “What?!”As much as I want to, I can't contain the sudden attack of surprise within me.After assisting the girls earlier, I went straight to my office to call my friends. And now, we're all face timing each other.“Yes, Aurella! You heard me right. Now, what are we going to do?”It must've been God's plan to urge me to call my girls. If I didn't, I wouldn't know that Heide is now out of prison.“How is that possible? I mean, wasn't she sentenced for like a decade?”I'm not certain how long she's supposed to be in prison, but I didn't expect her to be out this early. She must've used a huge amount of money to be out.God. That woman and the power she holds.“I don't know anything about it too. But yeah, it's like she was sentenced for a decade or more.” Liv's voice is quiet and calm, but I can still sense that we all share the feeling of being afraid.There's no reason for us to be afraid. After all, Heide is our friend for such a long time. But after what she's done to Conrad, I don'

    "What are you talking about, Harvey? He can't do that. He doesn't have the authority."Harvey starts to massage his forehead as he rest his head on the couch. It's clear that he's already stressed enough about it, yet I'm still adding more to it. Making it worse for him.Well, how the hell should I react? He can't expect me to be happy regarding this shitty information."That's what I thought too, but I guess the whole family decided to give him that authority since his one and only son is finally back."What? Uncle Naveen's son is back?Oh hell, what is happening?"So, it's going to be a dinner dedicated for his son? Welcoming him? Is that it?"The audacity. Uncle Naveen couldn't be more shameless. He's a thick face, and I don't understand why the whole family would just let him have things his way.And now, I'm certain that it's going to be hell for all of us because his son will definitely add more fuel to the fire.His son is an exact carbon copy of him.

    “Call me when you can, okay? Update me about the family dinner.”I swear to God, I want to roll my eyes every time I say ‘family dinner’.“Sure. But maybe I'll be in Vegas next week. So... let's update each other, I guess?”Harvey laughs after saying his goodbye as he enters his car. I wave my hand at him, and then I also climb into my car after I watched his disappear.We had a long conversation that it took us a long time to finally get to the part where goodbyes are said. If I didn't mention that I have to drive my ass all the way to Heide’s place, I don't think he'll even think of going home.But I'm glad that he will chase the love of his life.The woman surely doesn't want to be found, but Harvey is doing everything to find her. And I doubt that he won't find her since Harvey does have a lot of connections to deal with situations like this.Well, I have nothing left to say.

    “So, how cruel is life to you lately?” Heide pours me a glass of champagne that my head tells me to decline. But I've had enough declining, so I'm taking this one.Just this one.“I would say about forty percent. I mean, you know. Same old shit. I disappeared for five years, and now that I have come back, nothing much has really changed. I just feel stronger now.” She hands me the tulip glass and I accept it with my gut bubbling in excitement.I really missed drinking liquor.“You're still loaded with work?” She takes a sip of her champagne.I nod, “Yeah.”“And there's still a problem with your Uncle Naveen?”“Uh-huh.”“Still no long-time lover?”“Yes, positive. Still no long-time lover.”I can see that she's having trouble believing me, but at the same time I know that she trusts me. I don't know how to put in words, but that's how she looks right now with her frowning and with her eyes squinting at me.“Why is it so hard for you to find a lover?”I know that she's seriously asking m

    "Good morning, Kevin. Why are you grinning like that?"Kevin opens the door for me as we both enter my office.Last night was somehow special to me, but it definitely had to end. I have work for the next day, and so I went home to get some sleep.Hell, I only had a few hours of sleep. I made it in my penthouse around 2 o'clock in the morning."You could never guess." The grin on Kevin's face is now matched with his voice that sounds like he's about to drop a bomb before me.Usually, when he's like this, I always end up getting good news that makes me day. So, I don't feel nervous about it because I need something to motivate me do loads of work.But can't he just tell me?"Of course, I could never guess. But can you just spill the beans for me?" I sit on my swivel chair, and he settles himself on the chair in front of my table.He's still grinning like an idiot."You haven't checked your phone yet, didn't you?" Oh, now he's taunting me."To be honest with you, I didn't have the time t

    “Get out. Get out of my office, you're fired.” No hint of anger nor any possible remorse is shown by my face. Not even the sound of my voice can make anyone conclude that I am disappointed. This is how I am. Calm and composed. No such chaos can deflate my professionalism. “Yes, sir. I'm really sorry, Mr. Tryst. Thank you for everything.” She bows her head before walking out of my office. As soon as I heard the glass door shut, I sit on my swivel chair and wonder why this shit keeps on happening to me. The woman that I fired just now was my secretary. My fourth secretary this year, and the ones before her were all just like her. All of them betrayed me; all of them were traitors. Garbages that I picked up from the dirt and turned into gold. Why do I keep on finding the wrong ones? A little bit more, this business will make me lose my sanity. My sanity that I keep on holding together, but I knew that I lost it way back in college. Suddenly, a knock on the door stops me from lookin

    When the phone call with Vincent ended, I didn’t waste any second and changed back into the dress that I was wearing earlier. I returned the robe to where I took it from, and I gathered my things before silently leaving the hotel room.There’s a part of me telling me that I shouldn’t trust Vincent, but how else would he know about Lucas’ girl best friend? How else would he know about Dahna’s sister? If it’s a trick created by Bryce and Vincent, at least it helped me to separate myself from Lucas.It helped me realize that Lucas will never be mine.As I wait for the elevator to open, I start to type a message for Kevin regarding the first thing that we will be doing tomorrow. Lucas had already brought too much baggage in me, and now that I know about his hidden motives, I am willingly putting distance between us. I need to focus on what I must do, and what I must not do.I can’t promise to myself that I will never be fooled again, but I will try my best. Knowing that once I start givin
