Josh POV
He was thinking the girl he just drop by to her home, she's beautiful and different to the other girls that he always meet. She seems not interested in him damn even in her bare face she is still attractive, simple but elegant. Something inside him says he want to know her more. But he felt erratic having this feeling he doesn't know why and what it is. The only one he know now that he did not feel this feeling before.
He was lying in his bed feeling a little dizzy from the drink they take earlier. Its 2am in the morning and finally he drifted off to slumber unfortunately even in his deep sleep that face he encounter in the bar followed him in his dream.
Its 10am in the morning Josh is still sleeping when his doorbel rang. He was annoyed by the non stop sound of the bell and force himself to get out of his bed, making his way to see who's disturbing his morning sleep. His mind went blank when he finally see who's in his door step while wondering why is his mother is so early to come here but somehow his mind snap back and see his mothers questioning look for his reaction. " Are you not letting me in first? Because you look like feeling its still that early for me to barge in your door", his mother said with slightly raised brows then continued " and for the record my son its already 10am in the morning. "
I am thinking that today is sunday and I don't have to go to the company and why is this mother of mine is here and I know she want me to accompany here in her appointment today wherever it is just so I can meet the daughter of her friends.
" Mom where are we going? I just hope I can just sleep a little longer " I said with annoyed face and crocked brows, But my mom is so determined wherever she want to tag me today. Left with no choice but to follow her. When I park my car I'm so reluctant to go out in my car because I just can't pull myself in my mothers thing. She always find a way for me to meet those spoiled daughters of these rich community that we are in, in fact I really don't like them.
Walking inside the hotel we enter the Function room which was having kind of birthday celebration. Upon entering the door we are greeted with the beautiful well dressed lady that has seems to be in the same age of my mom. " Oh here you are Stella will I guess this is your son? Hmm handsome huh.." said the lady with a a satisfying smile in her face. " Thank you Jane.. your very much correct, he is my son Josh Stanley...Josh this is my friend Jane smith." Stella said to his son. " Pleasure to meet you mrs. Smith " answered Josh without emotion in his face. After saying that he began to walk towards the waiter who is carrying a wine for the visitors. Then get A glass of wine then sip a little before finding a corner to sit on. I was avoiding the crowd in order not to catch the attension of anyone for I plan to leave my mom without her knowing that I was already gone. I don't want to meet the pretensious daughter of her friend. They are pain in my ass If there's an award for those kind of girls in the rich circle for sure they can have the award of best in pretending all the time. I put the glass in the serving plate of the waiter who just pass by in the corner I was in. Slowly walking towards the exit of the hall carefull not to be seen my mother who is now talking while laughing with her other friends who also attended the banquet. When I am sure that I cant be caught I stride towards the parking lot where I park my car earlier. Finally got in my car and drove away from that hotel. I want to go home and continue my rest for this day. while Driving I pass the apartment of the girl that I meet yesterdays night and I can't suppress my smile thinking about her face. Her calm innocent face, simple beauty with white and clean demeanor I can't get enough staring at her. I am surprise what am I thinking? why I felt and think of her like that. I shrugge my shoulder and said to my mind that maybe she is just attractive like that don't think too much about it. Having arrived in my house I toke a shower and because I did'nt able to eat in the banquet so I order a food for myself after eating I enter my bedroom and lay down my body. I sigh when my back landed in my soft matress for some reason I felt like there's something missing in my life but I can't point out what is it. I fumble at my bedside to reach my phone and type a text to my mom, I just wan't to inform her that I was already home so she could call someone to pick her up after the banquet. Putting my phne back on my bedside then drifted to sleep.
At the hotel where Mrs. Stanley was attending a banquet, her phone suddenly buzz in here pouch, checking who is sending her a message got her phone then open it. She just sigh in defeat for her son who is really stubborn to meet some of her friends daughter. Putting her phone back to her purse then she also tell her friend that she will be leaving because she has important matter to attend to in her home. She got in the car and drove towards their mantion feeling rather conflicted by her son's attitude. In her mind she wish he can find someone that he really like so that she won't be worried anymore about his future. They really wan't him to get married so that she can relax. But now she's really stressed how she can convince her stubborn son for this matter. She's not the only one who wants this for her son his father is much distress for this now that her plan was failed again. What could be her next alibi? She's also tired for this and she wan't to leave it to her son freely so that he could not experience like what she'd been through before her father arrange her to marry the man that she did'nt like. Fortunately in her case it works so there's no miserable married life for her and her husband.
Time pass by rapidly, and Cass graduation has already done. Now she has to start applying for a job that suits her studied knowledge. She never knows what is coming for her in the future, so she was thinking of applying to the most prominent establishment in these places hoping for a vacant position. For her except for the experience, all other qualifications are fit for any position. The reason why she has some sort of reluctance because she has no experience but she has to take the beat no matter what, trying is not a harmful thing to do especially in applying for a job. It's been a week after sending applications to different companies in city A including Stanley Manufacturing hoping for a vacant position that would fit her right in. Thinking about that, Cass Lim just hopes to be hired in any of them. Today's weather is good, so after pondering what to do she decided to buy some of her needs. At Stanley Manufacturing CEO office, Josh is looking through the p
The working hour would usually start at eight o'clock but today Josh come to his office an hour before the work will start, deep inside him he anticipated her this time. From the last time, they meet she is always in his mind. Sipping his coffee while occationally looking outside his wall to ceiling window, he leans his back in his chair. Cass is standing on the roadside a few meters away from her apartment waiting for a taxi to pass by, after a minute of waiting finally she hailed the taxi and got inside. She told the driver where she is going, when she arrived at the huge building of Stanley manufacturing she can't deny to herself that she was in awe and almost can't believe that she would be working in this company from now on. Upon arriving she trotted towards the front desk, but before she could speak the person in charge smiled then greet her politely, " Good morning Miss may I know who is your name please?" Cass answered," Goodmorning, I am Cass Lim
Cass entered her apartment, she closes the door but did not go directly into her room instead, she leans her back on the door and pondered for a while. Does she think if this continues who's a woman that won't fall for that outstanding man? only an idiot one. A few minutes later cass is preparing for her dinner in the kitchen after cooking she immediately fed herself then wash the dishes. She got in a shower before going to bed because of her work she felt a little exhausted maybe because she's new for the work so her system is still in adjustment. When her back touches on the bed she immediately drifted away to sleep. Whoever in the spacious villa, Josh called his best friend Robert to come for a drink or two. Robert who knows his best friend better, said " You know? I have never seen you like this before and it never crosses my mind that someday my best buddy will be infatuated by a girl who he just meet." he said with a teasing smile. Josh stared at him wit
It's been a long night, and I'm not sure if it is fun going to a pub when I need to wake up early for work after tonight. My eyes feel gritty, and there's an ache stretching across my shoulders maybe this is because I slept in one position the whole night. Damn, how I wish I could crawl back into my bed until the pain in my shoulder will dissipate before I could get up and start another day for this week. But I was perplexed when I looked at my alarm clock on my bedside table and found out that I only have thirty minutes to prepare to go to the office. So I am rushing everything to consume the time, less than I usually did. Truly the time comes fast as it was. In the blink of an eye, it becomes an hour. An hour becomes a day and a day becomes a week without realizing it. Today, I become one month working as executive assistant of my outstanding Yummy boss. Oh my God! what was I thinking? The time and days that we spend working together make us more familiar with each other. We work
I felt tired while walking towards the parking area of the famous cuisine in city A. This day I only stayed three hours in my office after that three hours, I was out for a client after a client meeting. Even for lunch I still had to talk to a business partner. I don't even have time to break at least an hour of not facing those opportunists individual. I inwardly sigh at that thought, I can't do anything about it that's how business works. I sat down inside my car, my driver who is sitting in the driver's seat to look at me through the rearview mirror of my car, and I don't need to question him what was that look for. I told him to send me home. He nodded politely before starting the car and drove away through the crowded road. It is a wee hour so naturally, there's a traffic jam along the way but fortunately, it is not that bad this time, we still arrive early as we expected. As I reached the door of my house, I took out my keys I open the door and went inside. I place the
It is my second week of the second month of working with Stanley Corporation. Today is Tuesday, I have been waiting for a taxi for more than thirty minutes but there is not even one. When I was about to lose my patience Mr. Satnley's car stop right in front of me. He said with a smiling face," Good Morning Miss Lim, If your okay I can give you a ride." I who is looking at his smiling face was intimidated by his smile again. But I immediately mask it. I nodded my head then said, "Thank you, Mr. Stanley," while getting in the car and putting on my seatbelt as well. We arrived at the building in less than twenty minutes. I am the one who got out of the car first. I thank him again then go in first because he will park his car in the parking area reserved for his car. when I'm thanking him he just nodded his head without uttering a word. I rashly go up to my office. I don't need to Go to Mr. Stanley's office this instant because I already put the things as well as his schedule for today
It's Monday and I am back to work. Today was different I don't know why. Today seems too busy than the other day. There's a lot of work. Work has been filing and filing without stopping. Soon the day is about to end but my work is not yet done. Until its already seven in the evening but I am not still done with those works. I was not able to eat my lunch because I forgot the time. It was exhausting I was finally done with today's work and it is already eleven o'clock in the evening. I kept everything in place before I left. I was left with a little energy. I take a cab not wanting to disturb uncle ben. I almost fall asleep during the ride. I just try to keep my eyes open until I reach my apartment. As soon as I reach my apartment I plopped down on my couch and dozed off. I didn't even bother to change my clothes or have something to eat.. That's how tired I was. I was awakened by the sunrise shining in my face. I open my eyes look in the direction of the light from the
I woke up early as usual and do my morning routine as always. I Have to go to the office this day and in the evening is the ball which makes me excited because my date is my assistant that I like. And tonight would be my plan for my first step on pursuing her. I have to take it easy so as not to embarrass myself also. After getting ready, I got in my car and drove towards my company. When I arrived at the parking lot, I vaguely see a figure of a woman walking towards the lift. The figure looks like Cass, She is so early today. Actually, I feel sorry for her for how many days of keeping her busy but I can't help it I really need her assistance so that it could be completed before the targeted time. Thanks for my diligent assistant its really done ahead of the requested time frame. I'm walking towards my office while passing by the office of Cass I stole a glance at her and I can see a glimpse of happiness. And she looks refresh maybe because I let her rest yesterday. I get inside my
