It has been two hours since I arrived at my apartment. It was a large-sized house designed by Taiwanese designer
that showcase the firm's ability to play with texture, light and minimalism.The focal point and most dramatic feature of this space is the high ceilings. Representing themselves with only a smidgen of light and a solitary roof fan, the eye is in a split second drawn up by the vertical lines and natural light.
The room, which utilizes an equalization of natural tones, wood, and stone, feels very in contact with nature. In a way, it is a cutting edge take on what one may feel while sitting in a backwoods. The fan, a cool wind. The enormous windows, the daylight. The wood encompassing the space and specking the decorations? The trees that encompass you.
The view from the living area out into the hallway is a unique one. It feels as if you are looking toward the sun, even though it is only a uniquely placed lighting sconce. In the bedroom, the same wood tones carry through in the floor and room divider, which doubles as both part of the wardrobe and headboard. A built-in vanity stands across the room next to the terrace windows.
The closet space is ample. Clever touches that save on space or clutter can be found throughout the apartment, like the bedside lamps, matching wood nightstand, and walkthrough closet area. Windows to the side and behind the bed make the room feel bright and airy, along with the fixtures positioned close to the walls.
Dad insisted that I choose a big and cozy place to stay despite my want to to have a small one.
I sighed and closed my eyes. I have been staring at the screen in front of me for half an hour looking for a job that qualifies my resume. I only put an information that is needed and did not include those information that stands out as I do not want them to know that I came from a rich family.
I doubt it that there will be someone to hire me because of my capabilities and not because of my family's wealth. I mean, people hire me to become their business partner giving me offers that obviously talks more about profits and making a contract that they will be having more benifits than sharing it fairly.
I stopped scrolling as something caught my attention,
Direct Hiring for Secretary.

•Must be a bachelor's degree holder.

"Ahhh!!" I squealed, this is what I needed. Finally, a decent job! I have been having trouble finding one as it is in the middle of the year and its rare to see a company having a vacancy for secretary especially its a busy day.
The salary rate is not bad , its like it was made just for me. It is a coincidental matter as I am in need of a job and its only been hours. I immidiately sent my resume to the email attached at the bottom of the site.
I stretched my legs and arms, they have been aching due to not moving for so long and getting out of bed to unpack. I did not unpack my things after I arrived at the apartment as I immediately engrossed myself of job hunting.

"You pig!"
I smiled, knowing already who it was but quickly replaced the smile on my face into a frown and putting one hand on my chest faking a hurt expression on my face.
"Ouch, you have wounded my heart. What did I do to you to say such thing? " I said looking at the trio .
"Why did you not tell us that you are in Manhattan!? Hell, you could have told us that you are planning to come here so that we could of fetch you at the airport!"
"You deserved to be called a pig 'cause you eat like one."
The twins, Haines and Claude said at the same time. These two have been my bestfriend since daycare and we have been inseparable. I mean, they saved me when someone bullied me and they have been having my back after that. They are my other halves and I will not trade them for the world.
"Well, I wanted to surprise you guys and seeing that you are all here I am guessing my parents told you about me in Manhattan and I am sure my sister, Illyria did not tell you as to she is busy with her career and does not know about my plans" I said.
"Bummer, you should of have told us anyway or else your face will not be covered with pies." Before I could react and ask what Emmaline is saying, my face are already covered with pies.
"What the cow!" I screamed, as they continued to throw pies at my face. I did not see them bringing something so where does it come from?
"Serves you right"
"I did not see you guys bringing something hell when did you even have the tendency to plan something so cruel!?" I yelled as I tried clearing some pies off of my face so that I could see.
"Well, you do realize that you are in the kitchen,right? And we are not called *devil trio* for nothing, and you already know that." Claude explained with his sassy attitude.
Realizing that I am indeed in the kitchen. I have forgotten about that as I am anxiously waiting for the response of the company I am applying. Its been 5hrs and still no response from them. I really hope that I am qualified to have an opportunity to be interviewed.
"Anyways, care to give us an explanation about your sudden departure?" Emmaline said.
"And no, you cannot make us wait for tomorrow for you to tell us. We do not care that you just arrived hours ago and we all know that you are far from sleepy seeing you loss in your thoughts before we arrived here." Haines said as I was about to protest.
Sighing loudly and raking a hand through my hair as I do not have an escape to their interrogation.
"I just thought that living in a wealthy life and receiving luxurious things does not make me happy anymore. I mean, it makes me happy but I just think that I do not deserve it. You know what had happened years ago naman diba? Plus I am not doing something to earn that luxurious things and definitely did not sweat myself to get those. My parents just spoiled me with it but I know they put an effort to buy me something expensive and I do not want that. Maybe this is the chance to find myself and until then I am able to enjoy knowing I earned it and move forward with my life." I explained to them.
"I did nothing wrong unlikeSOME people""Who are you talking about?""I think we both know who we are talking about here""I do not know who you were referring to""Oh yes you do""You stole my cookie!""I got it first""I called dibs on it!""So what?"
Days had passed and it is already Monday. I had fun yesterday, the people that bumped into me invited me to have lunch with them.The mother insisted that she will treat me to lunch because she was sorry and will not stop feeling bad about what happened if she will not make it up to me so I accepted the invitation.At first, I was feeling uneasy as to they were strangers to me. I am not good at socializing with new people but the kid, Audrey was too adorable and made sure to break the tension. It was like she knew I am not comfortable with her and her mother. Isla, on the other hand is very outgoing."One more touch and ready to go" I muttered under my breath as I put on the last piece of my earings.Today is the d-day, w
"Ms. Mcfeller?", asked the woman whom I presumed was Mrs. Proy.I almost did not see her. She had a petite figure. I was almost a head taller than she was. She had a stern expression on her face. Her black-grey hair was tied neatly in a bun. She looked around in her mid 50's."That is me," I replied quickly raising my right hand."You are late." She stated looking at her wrist watch as she walk towards an office. I immediately followed behind her, knowing all too well that I am pretty late which was because of a jerk that was selfish enough to share an elevator.Does he even own it!?If I lose this job interview I swear I am going to haunt him down and beat the daylights out of him."This is just an interview and you are already late Ms. Mcfeller. Even though you have not
"No, I am not going with you"I said as I took a sip of my coffee.My friends wants to go to this'amazing' club that recently just got opened and they have been bothering me ever since I came back from the interview.Theinterview.Just by pondering it makes my head spin with rage. How would I be able to not? That loser prick thinks he is all-powerful on the grounds that he owns the company. I swear, if I do not need that job I would slap that smirk off of his face.For what reason are the rich individuals so presumptuous? Indeed, they do have the money and have a much force than those destitute individuals however how could an individual be so haughty? Do they by any chance have manners?
Sebastian's P.O.V."Where the hell is Rivera?"I asked.We are currently at the bar that my friendCassiusowned. It just recently opened and we are celebrating his success.His bar'hangover'got opened two days ago but we were all too busy to have the time to celebrate.I have been busy interviewing those applicants that wants to become my secretary. My sister refused to do the job because she wants to teach me a 'lesson', like that would ever make me stop enjoying my bachelor's days.Seriously though, my sister thinks she can lecture me just because she got born before me. She is just two minutes older than me! And she thinks she can boss me around.Damn, women.All the ladies that are applying for the job is just after my bod
I swayed my hips in front of Zach with his hands on my hips as we dance along to the music."Mio, stop doing that or so help me God, I will not be able to control my self" growled Zach as he tighten his hold on my hips."Come on Zaaaaachhh!!! Just feel the moment!!! Do not ruin the fuuuunnnn!!!!" I slurred out, ignoring Zach's complaint and continue grinding my body in front of him.Be careful. He said. I cannot help you. He said. If he beats you I will not be able to stop them. He said.I should of have listened to him. I should of have take his warning for me. I should of not have followed him.I should of not. But my curiousity brings out in me and here I am now looking at the monster in front of us as I hide
You know that moment when you feel like you have done something to a person and you just sit there as that person is lecturing you about what you did like you just committed a crime?That is how I feel right now as I stared at my older sisterIllyria giving me a long speech on why I did not inform her about my sudden decision and how disappointed and hurt she is.You may be wondering why is my sister here instead of being busy doing her model career. Well, my dear sister called our parents to catch up on what was happening since the moment she moved out of our house and live across the country, there she find out that I am not living with our parents anymore and is now living on my own.After hearing that from my parents, she immediately flew from California to Manhattan and the moment I came ba
"Audrey?"Here, stood in front of me is the same woman whom I met two days ago at the mall."Isla."I blurt out, disbelief plastered on my face as I stared at her."Oh My God! It is so nice to see you again! How are you?"She beamed."Likewise. Wow, I did not know that your husband owns the most biggest company in the world."The moment that word came out of my mouth, the person in front of me burst out laughing.Why is she laughing? What is it that she finds so funny?"You did not just thought of me as the wife of Sebas
“Hey! I mean every single word I have said!”“Uh, yeah sure.” I sarcastically replied while looking at him with my serious face. His wide smile was shortly replaced with a defeat one and I could not take it anymore, I bursted out laughing at his expression.“I can’t believe you just fell for that!” I said laughing hysterically.“Oh you are gonna regret playing with me, Ms. Mcfeller.” He leaned his head to the right while crossing both his arms.“Is that a challenge Mr. Patterson?” I said mocking the sound of his voice.“Ah! I would love to but I already know who is going to win with this battle.” He surrendered, raising both his arms in the air.“You have not changed at all. Still a coward Griffin I have known.”“Hey! D
“Hey! I mean every single word I have said!”“Uh, yeah sure.” I sarcastically replied while looking at him with my serious face. His wide smile was shortly replaced with a defeat one and I could not take it anymore, I bursted out laughing at his expression.“I can’t believe you just fell for that!” I said laughing hysterically.“Oh you are gonna regret playing with me, Ms. Mcfeller.” He leaned his head to the right while crossing both his arms.“Is that a challenge Mr. Patterson?” I said mocking the sound of his voice.“Ah! I would love to but I already know who is going to win with this battle.” He surrendered, raising both his arms in the air.“You have not changed at all. Still a coward Griffin I have known.”“Hey! Do not cross the line here.” He shot me with a warning look that made me took a step back and raised both my arms in the air.I know what you were thinking. ‘Are you serious?’ Yes I am serious, ‘Are you crazy!? You were scared when you saw him again and now you are hangi
Waking up with a heavy pounding on my head was the wost feeling in the world. I dragged myself out of the bed and went straight to the bathroom. As I entered, I looked my reflection on the mirror and I could not recognize who is the woman standing before me.What happened?After taking a long shower, I marched my way towards the living room where I saw Isla slumped on the couch wrapped in a blanket with a mug wrapped tightly on her hands looking much worst than me.“Good morning,” I said and went to take a sit beside her.She took of her glance at the mug and turned to look at me, “Hey, how are you?”“Hangover but I am fine,” I replied. “How about you? Are you okay? You looked… awful.”“Jeeez, no need to be so rude this early in the morning.” She groaned.My facial expression
After downing my six shots and interminably of drinks down my throat, it seemed like everything was floating and I was in the air. I was feeling light, similar to a plume.I was looking at the spot when my eyes got a glossy name on an entryway at the far end.VIP.The brilliant name streaked sparkles at me flooding my brain with what I have been attempting to overlook for endless years.I smiled internally. I realize very well what occurs behind that VIP entryway. I have been in there for so often. I recoiled at the terrible recollections.Over!That is all finished. Nothing will happen once more!"Daaancccceeee!" Isla slurred and dove deep into the group disregarding me all. I gazed at her moving structure with some person. I squinted my eyes to see unmistakably and scowled when I understood it was Cassius. Cassius Hawk.Of course Isla would bring Cassius with us!. The mann
After almost five hours of babbling, groaning, glaring, smacking, quarreling, rolling eyes and snoozing, we were out of the plane. The hot weather of Philippines hit me and I forgot how hot it was and regretted wearing a coat. It was all too familiar. It felt like I never left this place.“Welcome back to the Philippines.” I muttered under my breath and followed the couple in front of me.Sebastian and the bimbo were again no where to be found.After getting out luggages, I waited inside the car for Sebastian. It had already been an hour and I was getting irritated. I hate it when someone makes me wait for them. I decided to call my sister, Illyria."Hello!" Ate greeted cheerfully on the other side. "Hi ate, its me Audrey." I said. "I know, baby sis. How was the flight? Are you alright?" she asked, concern can be heard in her voice. "It was fine ate. It just feels so unusual to be here once more." I genuinely said. "Try not to stress, baby sis. You will overcome it, eventually. A
*poke**poke**poke*“Hey.” *poke*“Stop.”*poke*“Stop it.”*poke*“I said stop it!” I almost jumped out of my seat at his sudden outburst.“I am bored.” I stated, slumping down on my seat and propping both my feet on the coffee table.“So?” he sarcastically asked.“Let’s play a game.” I suggested.“No.” he deadpanned without even looking up from his laptop.“Why?” I asked while looking at him as he typed furiously typing on his laptop.“I am busy.” Seriously? He is still busy? When was the time that he is not?“We are on board and you are still busy?” I whinned throwing my hand in the air and averted my gaze on him towards the couple who was busy flirting with each other.The ex-girlfriend slash former secretary? I do not know where that bimbo went.I stood up from my seat and went to the couple who were busy doing their own stuff and sit at the seat opposite them.“Ahem!” I cleared my throat. They both stopped at what they were doing and turned to look at me, their faces wore a big
"Let's go."Sebastian pulled me away from the house to the white Audi SUV waiting.I kept my eyes on him as we approached the car, he was neatly groomed with his Armani suits, his hair was also perfectly done while I was just in my dark ripped jeand and a white tank top partnering it up with my flat shoes.He forced me into the passenger seat and I glared at him as he entered the other side, he did not look my way.I bit hard on my lip as more anger bubbled inside of me, I wanted to smash something, destroy something, or if possible kill, and my thoughts were centered on one person, Sebastian Schulz.I was sitting in the passenger seat with anger written all over my face. And the reason was sitting beside me.I snapped my head towards him and shot a glare while he returned it with a smirk. Oh how much I want to wipe that stupid smirk off of his face."Perverted cow." I muttered under my breath and dugged my nails into my palms,
I woke up with slight muttering around me. I opened my eyes and saw Audrey's face right in front of me. I closed my eyes back. I was definitely dreaming. There is no way that kid is here inside my room. Inhaling deeply, I took in the intoxicating smell of woody-mossy.I felt something soft touch my nose so I was unable to inhale and find it hard to breath. My eyes flutter open when I realized that I was not dreaming and shook my head. Audrey was there holding my nose with her little hand."Audrey!" I winced as I sat up. My head was pounding badly. I clutched my head and pressed it tightly which eased the pain a bit but when I released, the pain came back crashing.I looked around. I was not in my room. It was an exceptionally gigantic white walls and tiled floor. There was a little library in one corner and foot length windows at the opposite end. Pink and white love seats and a white table was before the windows. Lovely and costly works of art were embellishing the walls. I focused at
It feels like it has been hours that passed by, simply sitting here in almost a daze at what had happened, nothing but my thoughts keeping me company.And although majority of my thoughts were about how on earth did I get into a situation like this? I know it sounded ridiculous because nothing serious happened. Like having or getting into a mishap nor someone died however, I could not help but think about Mr. Schulz's actions these past few days. Something about him was so enticing.Well, aside from that, being bossy and having a psycho personality is an understatement. He was self-centered and fired workers even for the slightest and smallest of mistake--- I mean, he does give an another chance but once he feels like shit, he won't be caring the slightest bit about you being fired. I cannot comprehend why there are a few people like him must be so cliché? For what reason does he need to be all self-centered and selfish? Could
