View MoreI turned my computer of as i gently slapped my hand against my opened mouth to stifle a yawn. I looked at the clock to see that it was almost past ten. I stretched my sore and stiff muscles before picking the giant file up and walked over to my Grandpa's office. It's been six month since i started working for my grandfather. I started at the very bottom with front desk receptionist and made it up to my Grandpa's assistant. He's been trying to teach me more about the flower business and about his best clients. And he had me study and organize important documents that i have just finished doing. I opened the door to grandpa's office and walked over to his desk. After putting the files down, i glanced around the giant office at the very top floor of this tall building. One day, all of this would be mine. And i will make sure to do my best to reach my Grandpa's expectations. I sighed as i watched the beautiful night view before walking out of the office. I collected my things and wal
I looked up at the Devic company and remembered the first time i came here for my interview. The building looked just as intimidating as it was a year ago when i first started working here. Too many memories washed over me with every step i took.I walked in and moved over to the elevator. I remembered how i ran up to the elevator just as the door were about to close and Shawn held it open for me. I was shock struck by his sea blue eyes and his sweet manners.I remembered the short time i spent with him in this elevator, trapped while playing a silly game.I walked into the elevator when the door opened. I looked at the far corner where Shawn calmed me down when i was panicking that day. I saw the happy ghosts of ourselves, sitting on the floor and chatting away.The elevator didn't betray me today. It spit me put on my floor and i hopped off.As i was walking up to Shawn's office, i made sure to look around and my eyes landed on the door to the stare way. I couldn't help but smi
I'v been lost for the last few days. I didn't feel like doing anything.After my little...incident with Shawn, i haven't been myself. I'm not proud to say that I've been calling in sick and i have been ignoring Shawn's phone calls. But he's not the only one I've been ignoring.Iven has been calling and texting me the whole time, and all i could remember was Shawn's lips on mine. And so, Shame didn't allow me to answer any of Iven's calls or texts. I waned to, but i didn't know what i would say to him.I sighed again as i moved food around my plate."Is everything okay, Child?" My grandpa asked and i looked away from my plate to see that he was staring at me with concern.I nodded my head and gave him a brief smile before i looked back to my plate. "Are you sure?" He asked and... I burts into tears. Oh, how embarrassing.My grandpa dropped his fork and quickly reach my side. He placed hand on top of my head as i hide my face in my hands and sobbed away. In between embarrassing
I stared at the screen of my computer without actually looking the opened file. I'v been trying to concentrate all day by my mind had been blank. I haven't been able to help Oliver with work, especially after i talked to Lucy Chaw and found out that she didn't steal my proposal."Hey..." Oliver called out and i turned my faze over to him "I'm ready to get off work and the reports is printed out. All you have to do is hand it to the boss, okay."I nodded my head and watched Oliver turn his computer off and stood up, ready to leave."Why did you get permission to get off work early?" I asked him."Grandma has been sick and my parents are really busy so i need to take care of her until one of them gets home. Once their care taker gets back on work, i won't be needed much though..."Oliver scratched the back of his head and hesitantly walked closer and sat on my desk."MCs' birthday is in a few days and... I was thinking maybe...we can set something up for her?""Yeah, sure." I smiled
I sniffled before wiping my nose and tucked my blanket under my chin. I was Devastated.I was looking forward to winning that promotion but i didn't. I was so confident with the proposal and was sure that it would win me that senior management position. But it didn't."How long are you going to cry over this?" Oliver asked as he leaned both of his hands against the foot of my bed and i turned to glare at him."Fo as long as i want." I mumbled and tucked the blanket back.I heard Oliver sigh before i felt a shift on my bed and i know he was sitting close to me."Come on, Princi. It's just one promotion. I'm sure there will be more opportunities for you. Besides, are you really going to call in sick for a third day in a row or are you going to be a champ and walk in to that building with you head held up high?"I looked over to him. "I will call in sick for a third day in a row." I whispered before closing my eyes, but not before seeing Oliver roll his on me."Come on roomie. At least
I looked up at the board standing next to Harper James- my only rival at this very moment- and sighed.The last task for the promotion was out just a couple of seconds ago and a frown took over my face as i read the paper on the board."Congratulations to the two managers who have made it this far. The final task is as followed.The two managers will have to submit a business proposal made with the investors they brought in for the second task. The business proposal should be submitted by the end of this week and if the deadline is missed, then the business proposal will not be accepted.Good luck.""By the end of this week?" I asked because today is Wednesday and so..."Wow" Harper James murmured from beside me "it looks like we don't have much time to work on this. Well .." she turned to face me "good luck."Harper gave me her best smile before she walked away. I looked back at the board one last one last time before going to my office.I walked in to see Oliver with his head i
I looked up at the board with a huge smile on my face. The names of the managers who passed the second were up just a few minutes ago and there are only two managers who are passing to the third and final task.I squealed as i saw my name of the board and i jumped up and down with Oliver by my side.I can't believe that I'm in. I passed and i am only one step away from winning this promotion. All i have to do is beat one more person and I'm out of here with a bigger position and a giant payroll."Looks like it's just you and me." Harper James commented as she looked up at the board and saw her name above mine.I turned to her and nodded my head with a smile. "Looks like it."Harper James is one of the best employees this company has to offer and she has been a very hard worker from the very first day she walked in this building. She had quite the achievement under her belt and i would have to admit that she will be a very tough opponent to beat."Well..." She commented with a ver
I took a big bite out of my chicken and moaned in satisfaction."Eat more child. You look bony." Grandpa commented as he refilled my plate for the second time. The food was to die for. And even though my stomach was screaming at me for no more, i couldn't help but eat another bite to make grandpa happy.I haven't even been with his for half a day and I'm already loving this man. He was kind and sweet and he made sure that there was a lot of food on everyone's plates. He would check if we liked it or if we wanted more every few minutes."It's really good, grandpa." I commented and his fave lighten up in a bigger smile."Good. Good. Eat more." He replied before looking over to my father and to my mother.He stared at them so lovingly that i couldn't help but wonder why he pushed them away all those years ago in the first place. And it's then that it hits me. I haven't met or seen my grandma yet and from the looks of it, none of them were waiting for her to come either. I glanced
I was HAPPY.The second i saw my name on that list, i had done a happy dance without caring for any eyes who might be glaring at me or laughing at my reaction. But my best friend Oliver, made sure to join me in my happy dance.To be honest, i wasn't the only one doing the happy dance. All managers who made it on the short list on the board were more than happy to show their win. While the rest glared at us, we were excited.Once i was a little calm, i started to read the rest of the paper. It appears that the twelve of us will be given a new task very soon. But in the mean time, we are meant to enjoy this little moment.Oliver and I walked back to our office as we excitedly chatted about the list aloud when we saw Shawn walking towards us. He looked...upset?"Mr. Davis." Oliver greeted him first and i followed his bow to greet the boss. Shawn looked at the two of us for a few seconds before he nodded his head."I wanted to talk to you two." He said before he walked back to his of
Know what you want; reach to where you can, Never let anyone hold you back. So, there we are; standing from across each other. He was in the elevator and I was outside. The emotions have filled the air and neither of us knew what to say. Maybe I handled things the wrong way. Or maybe I even regret the way I reacted to what had happened. May be we both do. I am very sure you are completely lost, why don’t I take you back to the beginning? ***I am Princi Jona. I went to school as any normal kid but always got bullied. But not to worry, all those times I have spent hiding from a bully made me realize that I had an interest in Archeology. Knowing what had happened in the past and digging out memories of other people helped me to bury my own problems. Because it turns out focusing on other people’s problems was much easier than dealing with my own. Although my childhood therapist told me it was not healthy.
