Mimi shook her head bitterly. “You have no idea, Jeanette. I would be insanely happy if I encountered a situation like this a few months ago. Then, I’d be filled with fanciful thoughts such as ‘Have my feelings finally moved Elias? Has he fallen for me?’ But now… I’m too afraid of indulging in that fantasy anymore.”“Why? I thought you loved him?” Jeanette asked apprehensively. She had witnessed Mimi’s love for Elias over the past few years. How could such deep love be given up over a sudden whim?Mimi teared up and sighed. “Jeanette, you can probably understand how it feels to be constantly filled with anticipation, only to be disappointed, right? It’s not that I don’t want to keep loving him. It’s just that it’s exhausting to remain in unrequited love. I feel as if I can’t hold on much longer. I’ve been blindly giving myself to him, but he’s never given me any response. I’m not an important person to him”Jeanette felt a pang in her heart. She understood how Mimi felt and knew how
‘Me? In love with Mimi? He’s the second person to say that today. It’s like they’re all under some kind of spell as if they know my love life like the back of their hands. But how is that possible? I’m in love with Jeanette. This happened from the moment we met at school. I’ve been in love with her for many years. I’ve been by her side when she was a fresh-faced student until she became a mature mother. I’ve never questioned my feelings to this very day. How could I have possibly fallen for Mimi all of a sudden? This sudden matter is just absurd.’“This really is a misunderstanding, Dr. Powers. We’re just good friends. Romance is just a far cry from where we are. It’s not possible,” Elias seriously explained.“Then why are you so worried about her?” Dr. Powers asked.“Am I?” Elias shrugged.“Of course, Elias. I really should have recorded that look on your face when you brought her to the hospital that day,” Dr. Powers teased as he smiled. “You must be overthinking this. Even a f
Britney was incensed. She couldn’t believe that she had been put into a dead end.“Mimi Norton, you b*tch!” she screamed. Her reddened eyes made her look like a maddened wild animal. “Why? You should be the one suffering from a horrible reputation! Not me!”She gasped and panted. The expression on her face was terrifying and wretched.“No… I’m not going down like this. I’m not letting you win!” Britney snarled. “I will get over this bump in the road. I’m Britney Conway, an A-list female celeb
“What kind of a selfish company is this? You harassed and pursued me like dogs when you could profit from me. Now that you’ve run out of benefits, you’re kicking me to the curb? Don’t you think you’re being a little too calculative?” Britney screamed.The manager sneered. “Miss Conway, I believe the word ‘selfish’ is a more adequate description of you?”“What did you say?” Britney’s entire body was trembling with rage.“You’ve been relying on Raymond as your benefactor all these years, so you
Britney trembled in anger and immediately dialed the number to the manager of First World Entertainment. The phone rang for a very long time before he answered.“Hello.” The man’s voice on the other end sounded cold and distant, a stark contrast from his previously attentive self. Britney was at the height of her rage and did not notice that something was off.“Are you the manager of First World Entertainment? I’m Britney Conway. I'm willing to sign a contract with your management company, but
‘How could this be? Why is this happening?’Britney tossed her phone aside as she sat on the couch. “No, it’s not possible. How could this be happening?”She was an actress with fame and fortune a few months ago. How could everything have changed in just less than a few days?She lowered her head and stared into space for a very long time. She looked as if her soul had been sucked out of her body and couldn't move at all.The temperature in the house seemed to plummet again. She sat there
Jeanette stayed in Mimi’s ward all afternoon. It had been a while since the women had last met, and they had a lot to say to each other.Women were naturally chatty, so they chatted and chatted, on and on until evening. When the red hues from the setting sun hit the room, Jeanette finally remembered Damon.She was suddenly taken aback and covered her mouth.“What’s wrong, Jeanette?” Mimi stared at the strange look on Jeanette’s face in apprehension and confusion.“Sh*t!” Jeanette frowned in exasperation. “I’ve forgotten about Damon.”“Mr. Godfrey? Did he tag along with you to the hospital? Or do you have a date?” Mimi was not aware of Damon’s hospital admission and was confused.Jeanette shook her head. She knew that she was in trouble. “Damon had food poisoning. He’s in the ward on the thirteenth floor, and I’ve left him all alone there for an entire afternoon. I’ve even forgotten…”Mimi was shocked. “What? How could you have forgotten? You’re a crackpot, Jeanette. Mr. Godfrey
Forget about the fact that she had completely disappeared for the entire afternoon… Once, her phone had run out of battery when she was out shopping. Damon had been upset because he couldn’t contact her for up to two hours. Furthermore, she had disappeared after they shared a passionate kiss.The thought of Damon’s possessive and upset face made her head numb and her mind panic. He would resort to actions whenever he was upset and was capable of making her blush even more. He was even capable of committing jaw-dropping, weird actions in a hospital, so she needed to come up with some way to placate Damon’s emotions.Jeanette broke into sweat. She huffed and puffed as she finally arrived at the door to Damon’s ward.She stood at the door reluctantly, too afraid to go inside.‘Maybe… I should find a place to hide for today? The nurses are with him in the ward now anyway. They’re professionals. They’d certainly be able to take good care of him.’The thought of that filled Jeanette wit
