One morning when Adira sat down on her office chair and looked at the piles of paperwork in her table, it hit her that vacation is finally over.Yet all day, she spends almost half of the day looking at the blank space.Earlier, before coming to work, Adira left the divorce paper in the house with her sign. Surely by this time, her husband, who came back home from the resort, saw the divorce paper. Adira did not expect him to call her about this, and she really did not receive anything.Hansel just heard about this a moment ago. When she did, the information hardly sank it. Hansel had a guess that it is probably due to the incidents which took place at the beach resort.“Ma’am,” Hansel called Adira, who’s been spacing out for a long minute.As if she woke from a long daydream and she just realized it just now, Adira smiled at Hansel and asked, “Yes?”“Well, I am gonna ask something personal. Is that okay?”“Sure.”“Hmmm, are you really sure about it?”“You mean divorcing my husband?”
Adira’s POV They said that divorce can be emotionally and financially draining, whether it is a mutual decision, or a surprise move initiated be one steps. I agree that it cost a lot, since we request a court order that won’t take days and weeks after filing the divorce petitions. Anyway, money isn’t the problem for people like Chadwick and me. Then what about the emotional? That… I am not sure. Today, Chadwick and I are inside the court while waiting for the judge to finalize the judgement of the divorce. We already filed the proof of service, a document that tells the court that I have met the statutory requirements for giving my husband the copy of divorce petition. The process went smoothly because Chadwick was amenable to this and he agreed to sign the acknowledgement, which happened last night. The process continued with the judge asking the legal grounds of the divorce like “irretavable breakdown” of the marriage, or any other reason allowed by the law. We chose the lack o
There is a prickling sensation in Geoffrey’s nape. It came from behind. He turned around and saw Vernon sending him a meaningful stare that says: ‘I am watching you.’ While preparing for Adira’s drink, Vernon pointed his peaceful fingers at his eyes then towards Geoffrey’s side. There is tight surveillance at Geoffrey’s back, on which, he thinks not applicable at this moment. As if he will do something to Adira at this place. Geoffrey picked up the wine glass and wiped it. He glanced at the woman sitting in front of the counter. Her red hair reminds him of the dawn he saw on the beach a few days ago. Under the lightning of the bar, her hair shimmered. Her beautiful face, as always, demands attention. She has been graced with a look that could be of royalty and every time Geoffrey saw her, it made him blank. Blank but not empty. Adira’s presence tinged him an awe, and he always finds himself hardly working up the courage to greet her. But Geoffrey wasn’t new to this game. It just
How do you react when you get a confession? The best way to deal with it is to be honest. If you don’t like the person, you should tell them so you don’t seem like you’re leading them on, and they can move on. If you think it’s too soon and maybe had feelings but wanna give it some time, then tell them that. Being completely honest with that person is better than lying. Sometimes, people who got confession from their friends never ever bring up the confession again or act extra nice because it will only confuse the confessor and make them think you are in fact interested. For normal people, those are the usual rules in dealing with the confessors, whether they like them or not. However, such considerations aren’t in Adira’s vocabulary. Due to her beauty, intelligence, and maturity(?), it is quite normal that men and woman adore her. Thence, she got a lot of confessions ever since she was young. Years ago, a shy boy with brown hair picked up his courage to confess his crush to the
Adira’s POV I always do my best in every quest and challenge which comes into my life. But there were also times when I got tired from everything, so, I sought a way out of the enormous universe and went to a tinier galaxy away from my responsibilities as the sole heir of Crimson Meadow.One day during my high school days, I skipped going to school and hopped inside the bus to an unknown city. My classmates and my teacher were surprised that the top 1 student in the whole school suddenly went missing for one day.Anyway, I enjoyed the long ride on the bus with my forehead pressed up against the window as we passed over the city from a high up bridge. The city lays out beneath the railroad tracks in a limited palette of brown and gray. The first thing that I noticed when we emerged from the apartment this morning were these dirt tones. Got tired from sightseeing, I dozed a little and when I woke up, I realized that I slept for too long and we arrived at the bus’s destination.I hoppe
“Isa!”Two men handsome men stood by the female student’s side. They are both wearing worried expressions while checking over the lady. When I looked at her, who was looking all proud and vile before, she had these facial reactions as if she was very wronged.‘Woah. How fast it is for her to change her expressions. I am impressed.’“Are you okay?” the man with black hair asked, holding both Isa’s shoulders. “You suddenly disappeared after class. And Geoffrey and I been waiting for you in the coffee shop. So, we got worried because we couldn’t contact you.”“I was so scared, Chadwick. I thought I’m gonna die,” she shared with quivering voice.What a show.“Why? What happened?” the blonde-haired guy with eyeglasses asked.“There are two scary looking men who brought me in alleyway. They threatened to hurt me if I da lowt give them my money,” she said in a low voice.“Hey! Are you an idiot?!” the black-haired guy nagged. “You should have given them the money and escaped as soon as possibl
Chadwick and Geoffrey started their morning in different ways. After washing inside the large and scented bathroom, Chadwick went to the kitchen to brew his morning coffee. On the other side, after Geoffrey finished his quick wash inside the small bathroom in his apartment, he drank an instant coffee. Chadwick cooked pancakes, sausages, and egg for breakfast. Geoffrey toasted bread and ate it with a butter. Chadwick wore his blue suits and silver Rol*x watch. Geoffrey wore a gray shirt and ripped jeans. Chadwick hopped in his BMW car. Geoffrey wore his helmet and went for a ride on his motorcycle. Chadwick is the CEO. Geoffrey is working as a bartender in a bar. There are two different men living in different worlds. However, both are waiting ahead for brand new days. While driving his BMW, Chadwick suddenly burst into chuckles. He placed his elbow on the windowsill and pressed the seam of his lips with his index finger. He couldn’t hide the smile creeping out on his lips
Early in the morning, Adira went to the winery together with her secretary. She and Hansel checked on the quality of the materials even though the quality department has sent them the documents regarding.As the CEO of the luxurious and infamous wine brand, Adira meticulously makes sure that the wines were well-prepared to be entered into the consumer market. What made her a plausible boss is that she always looks over critical and calculated work practices throughout the year in the cellar to ensure the wine is in peak condition when it comes time for bottling.Therefore, Adira frequently does quality checks throughout the bottling operations to allow her to catch any potential error that may otherwise be difficult to detect, such as improper vacuums, air bubbles in the like, a leak in bottle line equipment, etc.“We should replace this with another new machine,” Adira said to the head of the winery factory.“Yes, ma’am. We will take note of that.”“And also, the Skolor San++ will be
