"Are you sure about this, Anak?" My mom, Estella asked as I started getting ready for my flight to Manhattan, New York City.After living being a dependent woman to my parents for a period of two decades, I finally came to a realization that I did not enjoy being pampered with expensive designer clothes, luxurious bags, shoes and accessories.I get it, being born from a rich family means you have to enjoy all of the good things you have received but I did not, maybe when I am still younger me and my sister Illyria loves being spoiled with expensive things, having a grand birthday party and getting all we wanted without a hassle or begging our parents with our cute little puppy eyes.Just a simple "Mommy, I want that toy" , "Daddy, I want to eat ice cream" and then bam! We got what we wanted. But that is not the case today as I d
Paperworks littered on my office floor and some are scattered on top of my table. I was busy doing my office work finalizing and making sure that everything is perfectly in order.Running a business was the least thing I wanted to do in my bachelor life but I have no choice but to do what my father wants. Do not get me wrong, I have two other siblings that could ran this business.Payden, my younger brother wanted nothing to do with our family's business so when father insisted to have a family dinner one night and told us about him retiring soon, he already know what was about to happen next. That bastard, flew across the country to be an actor leaving me and my twin sister,Islato run the business.My sister on the other hand is already busy with her career and said she could not bare another stressful work and that she might destroy her
I leaned back in my bed's headboard and peeked out my bedroom window at the pavement covered in thick layers of snow before sitting back upright and adjusting the pillow on my lap with my laptop placed on top of it.It has been two hours since I arrived at my apartment. It was a large-sized house designed byTaiwanesedesignerthat 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, th
"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
“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
