Next Monday usual staff happened. I took the stairs to my office because of that elevator, I took a little insult from Lucy Chaw, told Oliver he has no shoot with her and lunch time came.

Since Shawn and I are going out, I stopped bringing my lunch box because now I have a lunch buddy. I might be happy about my relationship with him but we still agreed to keep it a secret. For some reasons, dating your boss could be a bit hard on you because any credit you get will immediately be assumed that you got it because you are dating the boss.

Unlike other days, Shawn is late so I went to his office. It was lunch hour so I had no trouble walking in to his office and when I did, I saw him surrounded by papers, jumping his eye from one paper to the other. I was already in but he didn’t see me so I said “Knock knock”

He looked up and when he saw me he looked startled, he looked at his hand watch and realized that he is late.

“Oh, I am so sorry; I didn’t realize it is lunch. I was just so busy

    We finished the game when lunch was almost over so we went to the break room to grab some tea and doughnut. After we were done, he decided to walk me to my office. But since we are in a secret relationship, when people come closer to us we change our subject to something related to work. When we got closer to my office, we heard that Shawn’s father was here. We had a meeting that day and Shawn’s father joined us. Unfortunately there was no opportunity that made Shawn and his father to talk until the end of the meeting. When his father talks: he sometimes adds ‘My son’ to the conversation. And when everyone started to walk out his father said “Son, you should come home early tonight. Your sister is back in town and we are planning a surprise party for her.” Shawn looked at me and I looked at him. I, with my eyes, started to show him signals to call him dad. Shawn shook his head no. I figured it was due to the number of people in the room but I still looked at him with wide eyes. So Sh

    I am at work, being busy, running from one floor to the other, being productive. Lunch hour, I went to Shawn’s office and like always, he was busy jumping his eyes from one paper to the other. When he saw me he immediately stopped working and greeted me with a big smile. “So what should we have for lunch?” I asked him. “I don’t know.” he answered as he giggled “Maybe we can go to brownies girls.” He was clearly mocking me. “Oh, you think that is funny?” I ran over to him and pinched him on his shoulder. “Ouch” he cried out, he grabbed me by the arm and hugged me. “Oh, someone is in a good mood today” I made a comment as I hugged him back. “Why wouldn’t I be? I have the world’s best butterfly hunter with me.” he said with his worm and manly voice. “Shut up” I giggled. “Oh” Shawn said “You remember Ron King right?” “Ya” I answered. “He has invited us to his anniversary dinner party.” “Both of us” I asked. “Ya” he answered. “Does he know we are together?” I asked Shawn again.

    “What” I yelled and looked around to see if anyone was staring at me. I went closer to Oliver and in a lower voice I repeated “What” “I thought you knew.” “No I didn’t. Did you tell anybody?” I stared at Oliver. “What” he stood up “I would never do that.” “Well last time I checked, the only people that knows about me and Shawn in this building are three, two of which are standing in this office.” “I swear Princi, I didn’t tell anyone.” He swore over and over again. Then I remembered, the day Shawn and I were talking about the dinner party Ron King had invited us to, we heard the office door open and close. Someone must have heard us that day. “Oh my God” I said to Oliver “It is that bitch Lucy Chaw.” “What”, asked Oliver? “Think about it” I started to put the puzzle together “That day Shawn and I were talking about going to the party together, someone heard us.” “You don’t know that, that could have been anyone.” he interrupted me. “Ya but at that time, everyone knows not to

    He got mad-for some reason- he stood up and left in a light speed. I have never been more disappointed in my life. But just to fill my anger I ate both the dishes that arrived for Shawn and me. He had paid before he left so I stood up and walked out with a full belly. I have no idea where to go. I can’t go to MC because Chris is in town and they are spending the night together. I can’t go home because mom and dad have a special evening planed. And I can just go to MCs’ house to hang because her parents have a romantic night planned as well. I thought since I was going to be with Shawn, I didn’t have to go home till midnight so I wouldn’t disturb mom and dad. But there I was, walking in my every day shoes-that somehow I knew I needed-with my stomach dragging me backwards all alone on Valentine’s Day. After an hour of walking, I arrived in front of my house at ten PM. I already told them I will be out till midnight so I had to wait out the remaining two hours sitting on the stair in fro

    I got out of bed and looked out my window. He was really here. So I walked down without making a single noise. He was leaning against his car as he gave his back to my house. I slowly walked closer to his car and leaned on the other side. He didn’t know I was out so I cleared my throat as to say ‘I am ready to hear you apologize.’ “Princi” he called out my name “I am sorry” I stayed silent, I needed to hear everything. “I am sorry for not coming at the coffee shop. I am sorry for ditching you on valentine day. But most of all I am sorry for not coming sooner to apologize.” He moved from where he was standing and stood in front me. “I really am sorry.” he repeated his apology. I am a very weak hearted person; he was looking at me with those beautiful sea blue eyes that I couldn’t resist. I gave him a little shy smile, we hugged it out. “Why did you come at the office earlier?” he asked as we were hugging. I realized myself from his arms to answer with a glare “I came to yell at you f

    After the meeting is over, I went to Shawn’s office. He greets me with a smile but I was not in the mood for it. “Why do you insist on calling me by my name?” I asked before even saying ‘hi’. “Then what am I supposed to call you?” He asked coolly. “Ms. Jona is what you are supposed to call me. Don’t call me ‘Princi’ call me ‘Ms. Jona’. And if you have anything you want to talk to me about work then say it to Oliver like you used to.” I walked out before he could say a word. When I walked out of his office, I felt everybody’s eyes on me. It was too pressuring and uncomfortable. I truly miss the days when no one cared about me even if I was missing from the group. I miss the times when I would do my job in the background. I know I am saying this because I am upset, but I totally miss the time I worked for my former boss Mr. Custo, when he would ignore my presence in a meeting or wouldn’t even bother telling me to go to the meetings and would even forget my name to ask me for a cup of

    The tall man in suit and sunglasses announced that I was from DC and that I came respecting my appointment with him. Edward Swift looked to my direction and inspected me with his eyes for a whole minuet without a word and looked back to the man that led me in and finally spoke “I was expecting a man not a woman.” I jumped in “I came here in the replacement of Mr. David from the IH department sir.” “Hmm… So what do you have to say.” he asked without putting the book down. As I stood there, I started to make the speech that was prepared. “Well _ I started _ first of all, our company is one of …” He cuts me off and finishes my sentence “The greatest company in the country…” Confused by the interruption I continued “Well we are known for delivering…” He cuts me off and finishes my sentence again “Delivering what is expected of you and more…” I started to lose my temper, yet I continued “Well if you invest in our company the…” Once again he finished my sentence for me “The profit th

    Edwards’ eyes went wide “How did you know?” he asked probably thinking I am a mind reader. “My brother, Kevin: he used to write to me about a friend of his called Josh. I never knew he was this Swift.” I finally gave him an answer. We were both stunned. The world truly is a small place. I was so shocked, I was looking for something to have in common with him but this was not what I expected. His frown turned upside down. Considering that two of the most important peoples in our lives knew each other was mind blowing. His once pushed together eyebrows are now far apart. And I see his teeth. Pointing to the chair across from him he told me to take a seat. As soon as I sat down he started talking. “Look Ms….” He didn’t know my last name “Jona” I told him. He continued “Ms. Jona, I am happy to have met the sister of the man my son has written to me about, but my mind on investing in DC has not changed.” I cut him off “You have decided not to invest because you have judge DC through jus

    I 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
