“Oh my God Amanda! What spell did your boss cast on you? I mean, you've only just started working or this guy and you are already talking all dreamy like a girl who is in love.” Kate deadpanned then, took her glass of Juice from the kitchen counter to the dining table.

Kate had been present all through Amanda’s relationships and breakups. And none had she witnessed that made Amanda glow like she did now. Amanda had never really fell in love before, kate wasn't even sure if her friend knew how to love. Although, Kate considered Amanda be loyal and faithful to her partner but that wasn't enough to rule out the fact that Amanda still saw dating as a sport. Now she pitied the man Amanda kept talking about for she knew he might suffer the same fate in the hands of Amanda.

    *****Kate, of course, had spoken to Nelson about the picture situation just as she had promised Amanda she would. Amanda was a bit relieved and impressed on how her manager handled the matter and not scaring the boy off in the process; Nelson apologized to Kate and then to Amanda promising not to post any more pictures.“I never intended to cause any trouble,” He expressed, sadly “I was just overly excited. I’m sorry.”Nelson was cute when he was apologetic. Or, at least, Amanda thought he was and she'd be a monster if she could still stay angry looking at those puppy eyes ogling back at her. “It’s OK.” Amanda said. She knew she wasn't offended by his pictures, she understood his intention pretty well. But for Kate sake, she dared not let him know that. “I’ll catch up with you later, let me see her off.” She mentioned instead.“Are we good?” Nelson wanted to be sure his actions didn't eat away his friendship with Amanda.“Of course we are.” Amanda affirmed,, assuredly.

    ********"Are you sure you were not followed?" Mr. Sebastian Cosgrove, a motivational writer asked, handing a glass of scotch to Wright Junior who finally, was seated on the second single arm chair in Mr. Cosgrove's living room. "I wasn't. I parked my car in the Primy hotel's parking lot and I took a cab down here. No one knows I was coming here." Wright Junior replied, watching Mr. Cosgrove sit on the arm chair across from his.Mr. Cosgrove was a well-known motivational writer. His books had touched millions of lives. Despite his break from writing, he still received letters from his readers who were thankful to him. He had been close friends with Wright Junior's father since college.

    **********“Knock, Knock”Amanda tilted her head on hearing the knock on her office door and smiled a bit tiredly after seeing who it was. “Wow! Look what you’ve done with the place.” Amazed, Nelson felt like he had just walked into a stranger's office. “You know what they say, keep a woman in a room and watch how things fall into place.” He praised Amanda, noticing how she had managed to tidy the hopeless office.Amanda nodded in satisfaction, also appreciating her effort “A new broom sweeps clean.” She voiced “This office was a mess I couldn’t even figure out how he finds anything amidst the shambles.” Amanda dusted her hand on her brown, knee-length skirt, holding steadily a satisfactory smile on her face at the sparkling, new, well organized office. “You are amazing.” Nelson complimented, clapping his hands cheerfully.“What? Were you thinking because I’m a celebrity I can’t handle chores?” She asked, smiling at Nelson who nodded his head slowly.“You can take a break. The cafe

    ********Amanda got to the office too late. Her boss was already in front of his desk and scattering everything back on the desk in search for something. The sight of this angered Amanda even more. She immediately practiced her breathing exercises to control herself from blurting out painful words to the man who clearly was not grateful for her hard work.“You are back.” She managed to say he she entered into the office. The closer she got, the clearer she witnessed all her effort spent on arranging the office brought back to base one.“What have you done to my office? Where are my files, my records, the manuscripts, everything that was here?” Wright junior yelled pointing at his now busy desk. Nelson secretly hit Amanda lightly on her hand, bidding her farewell and then escaped.She gave him a quick nod and then shifted her attention back to Mr. Wright Junior “I arranged them accordingly in your shelf.” She said gently, walking closer to the tall shelf standing at her left. “This

She wondered to herself what have she done to deserve a mother-like friend like Bridget. “Are you sure you are ok?” Bridget asked with concern, noticing Amanda's smile fading and her eyes dull with worry. Bridget could tell something was bothering her friend but Bridget gave Amanda a curious look. Encouraging her friend to open up.“Of course I am. Just a little tired from work today.” Amanda told Bridget instead, still not enough to convince her.“I hope you are not over working yourself?” Her question laced with concern, she asked.“I’m fine Brid,” She replied assuredly “I just need a warm bathe and I’ll be fine.”Bridget gave out a silent sigh. She realized that as much as she hated her friend working in that company, she will never succeed in talking her out of it. Amanda had a bucket filled with secret tears and this worried Bridget so muc

    ******Amanda sat in her car watching as reporters crowded the entrance of the company; she was so furious and scared at the same time. As Amanda observed the hovering reporters, she realized that they were ready to devour anyone who was unfortunate to walk through that entrance.Amanda locked herself in car instinctively, sought out the dark sun-shades and scarf she made sure to always carry in her bag in case of emergencies like this. Amanda immediately lowered her head to avoid being spotted, wore her sun-shades and wrapped her scarf around her head. From what she met, she needed no one to enlighten her on the impossibility of passing through the entrance so, she hoped for an immediate divergence. Instantly, she felt her phone vibrate in her purse; she dipped her jittery hand into the purse and took out her phone. “Very convenient.” She sighed as her eyes recognized the caller’s name on her phone screen. She picked it up without hesitation “Hey Nelson!” she said to it, her head st

She rested her head on the hand which she placed on the edge of rolled down window, enjoying the fresh breeze, letting her thought travel through the wind.Bridget took a glance at her friend but refrained from saying a word; she just did her best to focus on driving. She understood that the reporters were like a noose on Amanda's neck and the thin ice she stood barefooted on was melting up due to the imminent ancient sun.Bridget wished she could be her Best friend's knight in a shining armor, to save her from this grueling episode but, she realized her limits and all she could do was to pray for her friend and sister.Was Bridget over thinking Amanda's silence?

I won’t want to put my current employer in jeopardy.” Amanda replied she was right. Getting away from her celebrity life for a while was her idea and get an office job was also her choice but not she couldn't clearly tell which one was better for her anymore because of how complicated it started to be.“The fact that you now work in a person’s company is preposterous. Brid, why did you let her do that?” Elena asked the same question Bridget has been asking herself.“I wouldn’t have if she had told me before getting the Job.” Bridget defended, facing Amanda and raising her eye brows. “You girls don’t get it.” Amanda cut in, hopping to end their argument. “No we do. You and Troy got off on a wrong foot and the reporters are hunting you but you can’t hide forever Amanda.” Elena voiced calmly. “True, you’re still going to fac

He was right in front of me but I was too young, too distracted to see him.” She pointed to her man who had become the best Husband God could give a woman. “And with whom did I end up?" She paused, then exhaled. "I ended up with Troy Humphrey. He was the fantasy I was hoping on. But I don’t regret it, I learnt something from him; a fantasy world can never be forced into reality.” she pointed out. “I was wronged to have stabbed you with a fork, I apologize for that silly act and I wish you a happy life.” She apologized. “To my fans, sometimes breaks aren’t all that bad. They give us the breakthrough we need. It gives us fresh perspective to things and it helps us set our priority straight. I learnt a lot during the short time I was away, I had some adventures, I tried something new, I made new friends and of

    *********Amanda was scared, she hadn't quite recovered from her last encounter with her worst nightmare, Tony Wright. Here she was again, tangled in his web ready to be devoured. “I got into the wrong Yacht.” She thought, as her heart threatened to leave her body. Her thoughts ruminated over diverse possibilities “I’m going to die and this time, no one will find my body.” She could hear her inside voice, audibly, shaky and overly terrified “I will be fed to the sharks!” She placed her hands on her chest trying to think of what next to do. Startling her was a familiar voice she remembered too well “You are certainly not in the wrong Yacht.” He laughed “I remembered you said you wish to enjoy the tranquility of nature.” Amanda turned to see who it was “Samuel! My goodness. You scared the hell out of me." She placed her left hand on her chest, attempting to stop the pounding as she exhaled rapidly. "Why are you here?” She asked, still surprised.

But before he could reach the door, he heard his sister ask,“Where are you going?” She asked with the tray of snacks in her hand. “To Henry's.” He replied briefly and avoiding the smirk on Amanda's face. “You’ve been going there too often these days.

Eventually, he stopped spinning and bowed his head on his table. Even though he knew Amanda was not the easiest person to be with, she was the only person he wanted to be with and the thought of it drove him insane. “Dude.” Nelson called his attention, with his head poking through the slightly opened door into his office “Bad time?” He asked to be sure he wasn’t interrupting anything. Junior lifted his head to his direction and glare at him saying nothing but his 'do not disturb' stare couldn't prevent Nelson for he came in anyways. “Dude, you look like shit. She’s still not picking your calls?” Nelson asked sitting on a chair in front of junior's desk, uninvited. Junior glanced at Amanda’s cubicle and shook his head “Neither did she reply any
