The week couldn't go by any slower. With having absolutely nothing to do because i was suspended for a month _with out pay_ i took it upon myself to go to our new apartment to make it more of a home than just a house.I had it repainted and ordered some furnitures for the living room.Then i started working on the kitchen. I bought dishes, cups, pots, some funny quoted mugs and some wine glasses for MC and Oliver.Ok fine, i bought myself a special wine glass too. I'll probably be having OJ with it.When i was done the main area, i went into my room. I kept the light cream color because it looked uplifting. I ordered some curtains and online.Moving day was still two weeks later as MC wanted to pack up EVERY THING before moves here and asked that we all do it at the same time.Any who, after a long wait, it was finally the DAY.The day i will go on a blind date with a guy named Iven. I'm nervous. Like...a lot nervous. And every time i glance over to the shelf. More specifically,
I sat on my bed, wondering how tomorrow would be like.I will be returning to work after a week of suspension and i have absolutely no idea how thing are going to go.Shawn said it was a mistake but the papers came straight from human resources and when i did confront them, they had told me that it was from above. If it wasn't Shawn, then who was it?I blew a breath as i looked down at my phone.Iven had text me a couple of minutes ago just to say hi. And i had texted back.Our date was nice. No, it was perfect. He was the perfect gentle man and he made me feel better after such a depressing moment of my life. And that same night, he had texted me that he had really enjoyed himself and that he wished we'd do this again. By 'this', he means a second date.I was almost positive that he would try to take me out but he said that he would let me decide if i want a second date or not.Iven said that he didn't want to pressure me in to going out with him. But he mentioned that he really
Life was great. Without Lucy Chaw at work, everything was as simple as the day. I can work without worrying about her snarky comments or glares or wondering about what she was plotting for me next.I was worried that Oliver would take the suspension hard. But to my surprise, he wasn't bothered about Lucy Chaw at all.I asked him if he was okay and he told me he couldn't care less. Everything that has happened in the last months have opened his eyes and he was no longer hoping that she would be better than i made her out to be.In honesty, i was really happy that my friend was able to move on from that witch. And so was he.I had been meaning to go and thank Shawn for what he did for me. After our moment in the elevator, i had been scared to see him eye to eye and i have been even more confused about our relationship.But i needed to thank him. So, when lunch time came around, i waited until the office was empty and made my way towards Shawn's office.The closer i got, the more m
Ahh...it is finally moving day. I have been waiting for this moment for a long time.I will be honest though, i am a little scared. I'v lived here my entire life. I went to a college near by so i can sleep in my house. In my HOME. And now that i am about to leave it, i feel a little sad."What are all this mugs for?" Iven asked as he picked the first of Shawn's mugs and i leaped forward to tale it put of his hands.He looked at me with confusion and i cleared my throat before carefully wrapping the mug and placed it in my suitcase. My plan is to put the mugs in my clothe and then put more clothe on it so it doesn't collide against each other and break."It's just a collection. Nothing more." I answered in a low tone and Iven nodded his head before walking in to the bathroom to get my stuff.I looked over at my book shelf and traced my eyes over the mugs.I'm trying to move on so i should leave the mugs here, right? If i take them with me then...i would be keeping a part of him s
New beginnings, my ass. "Oliver, get the hell out of this bathroom." MC growled out like a wild animal as she slammed her fist into the bathrooms door. A week... The three of us have been living together for a week but MC and Oliver had been on each others throat since day one. "Get out." MC banged on the door again but her screams were left for deaf ears. I don't blame her for being so angy though. Oliver does take a long time to get ready in the morning and once he is in, he doesn't come out until he is done from head to toe. That is why i wake up super early to use the bathroom first and listen to MC scream her lungs out. The schedule for the bathroom in this house is 'get in before Oliver does or go to work without cleaning up.' After two hours of holding the bathroom hostage, Oliver walked out with a smirk on his face. "Why the hell are you scream at eight in the morning?" He asked as he played dumb even though he is well aware that she hates it when he does that. "What t
You know how they say 'all great things must come to an end.' The one hally month i have spent without Lucy Chaw around was a blessing that comes to an end... Today. Work had been so easy without some witch constantly trying to ruin my life. But now, the ice queen is coming back and i know that i need to prepare because i am in for a whole lot of hurt.As i was walking towards.my office, i saw Lucy Chaw walking towards my direction. I drew in a big breath and waited for her to drop her vile snarky comment.But to my surprise, she just kept on walking and completely ignored me. That's a new one.I walked in and looked at Oliver confusedly. This morning, i woke up to find out that Oliver had used the bathroom early before me and left for work... Without me.So imagine my confusion to this odd day."What's up?" He asked as he stared back at me from behind his desk."Lucy Chaw is acting weird and you left for work without me." I answered as i moved over to my own desk."How is she a
A soft gasp escaped from my lips as MC silently hugged me. I gently patted her back before leading her further into my room after shutting the door."MC, what is it?" I asked with a voice filled with worry."I don't know" she shook her head "I'm just ... I'm so confused, Princi." She sobbed and i waited for her to continue."Oliver and I didn't just happen. It was sudden but perfect, you know..." She sniffled before continuing "Chris had called me the night we moved here and he said that he wanted to work things out... I lied to you when i said that neither of us where ready for a committed relationship. But the truth is, i asked him that i wanted to make things official between us and he said that i wasn't a girlfriend material and that he never saw us having a future together."I mean, i was crazy about him but he saw me as just 'fun'. And now he wanted me back after i moved on and started to confuse me. "I wanted to tell you, princi. I really did. But i already knew you were d
The ride home was unbearable. I wanted to ask if Chris was at the office to talk to Oliver but when i reached our office, Oliver was already gone. I tried calling him on the phone but his phone is switched off. And when i asked around the building, Sherry just told me that Oliver had some work he needed to do and left a few minutes ago. And now, i am on my way home because i couldn't leave work with both our seats empty. I sighed over and over again as the traffic kept dragging me back and by the time i got out of the cab, i was more than frustrated. I basically ran up the stairs and raced my way through the hall. I wrestled with my bag as i looked for my key and finally opened the door. When i walked in, i found MC in the kitchen making dinner and Oliver was nowhere to be seen. "Hey." MC greeted me as she stirred whatever it was that she was making and glanced back at me over her left shoulder. "You're late." She commented before turning back. "Yeah." I trialed off as i waked cl
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
