NARRATORSighing helplessly, Katherine decided to help her friend. Hannah had never requested this type of absurd favor from her before and she'd never made a move on the marketing director. If she was finally ready, then she wouldn't hinder her."Fine, I will do it. " "That's my friend." Hannah jubilated. Katherine exhaled and inhaled, as she mustered her courage. She decisively stood and strolled over to where the marketing director was sitting."Hello sir," she politely said, smiling at the man. But her eyes were fixed on the girl sitting beside Jason as she thought of her name. She had seen her several times in the canteen, and occasionally when there was a gathering like this. But this was the first time she would approach her. However, being a CEO's secretary comes with some perks. "Ahh..." Katherine silently gasped, as the name followed into her head. "Oh, Ms. Whites. What brought you here?"Of course, the marketing director knew her very well. But what Katherine didn't lik
KATHERINEAfter a long day of engaging in different fun activities, the night slowly approached. Under the cool night breeze, with the round moon hanging in the sky as it shone brightly on the vicinity, all the employees present on the trip were gathered round a table as they pounced on the delicious delicacies on the table while they made jokes and laughed. But I couldn't help but feel concerned for my boss and my best friend. The two seem to be lost in their thoughts. They were awfully moody and in low spirits. I can understand why my boss must be feeling this way. His wife was missing in the midst of this beautiful nature. And the fact the bitch was undoubtedly cheating behind his back, without his knowledge, was kind of painful. According to the stories I have heard about them, my boss was always lively whenever the company went for a trip. He would play with his employees and participate in all the fun activities. He must be missing her, judging from the way he was mostly hidi
NARRATOR Rock wasn't in the mood to laugh and be merry like the others. Everything sounded like noise to his ear, so he'd decided to take a stroll. He walked straight to the spot he loved most in this resort. It was a spectacular spot facing the lake. Sitting on a bench with his back leaned against it, one hand propped on the backrest, he crossed his legs, sipping the beer he'd taken with him as he thought about his life with his gaze focused on nothingness.The more he thought about his life, the more empty he felt. Ever since his father's death, he'd worked hard to take the company which was his father's legacy to the next level and he did succeed. The company is now one of the richest companies in the world with different branches as they manufacture different products. He was filthy rich. But whoever said money can buy happiness was wrong. The amount of things he'd achieved couldn't fill the void in his heart right now.He wasn't in this state because his wife didn't come here
NARRATOR"I can feel how sad you are." Katherine caressed Rock's right cheek as she stared into his eyes, her compelling blue orbs moving back and forth into his eyes. "But you have to be strong no matter what. It will surely pass." she assured him.After saying this, she leaned closer to him with her eyes pining down his. Rock swallowed hard as their lips became awfully close, and he could feel her warmth tickling his face. But just as their lips were about to graze, her head suddenly fell on his shoulder.He sighed, as he found his hand patting her back. "I will take you back to your room now, Ms. whites" he said, as he stood up and he scooped her into his arms and headed towards the building. So far, she was a good distraction that made him forget about his worries momentarily. After sending Katherine back to her room, Rock headed back to his room. He sighed as he went straight to the fridge and took out a bottle of whiskey and poured himself some.Sitting on the couch in his roo
KATHERINE"What?!!!" I practically screamed with my mouth wide open, scrambling up to my feet with dread in my eyes. "I know you will be shocked to hear this, after what transpired between the two of you." Hannah giggled, giving me a suspicious look. I know what she was doing, but now wasn't the right time. "What happened between us?" I glared curiously at her, slightly forgetting about my current predicament. "That's what I want to know too. Do you remember anything at all?" she questioned, her eyes sparkling with expectation and I just rolled my eyes at her as reality hit me.I can't believe I just fucked up. I silently cried as I ransacked the bed for my phone, ignoring my crazy friend. "What is it, Kat? What are you looking for?" I turned to look at Hannah, whose face was now soaked with worry. I just shook my head, even if I told her, she wouldn't understand. In fact, I don't have the luxury to explain anything to her right now. But, I think it's high time I let her in on wh
NARRATORAlthough Hannah was confused, and she didn't know what was happening to her friend at all, she decided to calm her down first. She pulled Katherine into her arms and patted her back warmly. Katherine relaxed a little under her friend's embrace, but after a while, she pulled away as she picked up her phone and rushed out of the room. Hannah was taken aback, not knowing whether to chase after her friend or to just sit back and wait for her. But after a sigh, she decided to run after her friend.Katherine was so worried that she felt so uneasy, her heart beating with trepidation.She kept repeating a silent prayer, as she dialed Rose's number, placing the phone against her ear. But it was still the same result; no response.But she didn't give up.She continued pacing around, biting her index finger as she prayed for a miracle to happen while she dialed the number over and over."That witch," she cursed helplessly, as the phone rang once again but no response. "Now that you're
Rose and Alex were woken up by a persistent and disturbing sound, the doorbell.After the sumptuous and satisfying love-making between them, the two had fallen asleep in each other's arms. Rose was sure that her husband wouldn't return till evening, and besides, Katherine wouldn't let her down. So she felt at ease while having the best nap after their blissful exercise. But the unexpected sound from the door had startled them. The two hummed, as they slowly rolled away from each other, before reality suddenly hit them. They weren't expecting anyone, so who could it be? Of course, just one person came to mind. The two glanced at each other, their expressions pale as they swallowed in fright. One was the wife, and the other, the employee. They needed no seer to realize the deep shit they had entered if Rock were to catch them here together."What if?" Was the only thing that kept ringing in their heads as they scrambled to their feet. With every beat of their hearts pounding with appr
NARRATORKatherine woke up with a heavy heart, not knowing whether she should get up or keep lying helplessly on the bed. However, it was Monday morning. She must get up and prepare for work. She tossed and turned a little while before she shot up from the bed with her eyes still closed. She grunted in frustration, roughing her hair as she slowly opened her eyes and peered confusedly at the window. After the weekend merriment followed by unexpected heartache, it was finally time for her to face her boss, and she didn't think she had enough confidence to face that man. Rose had refused to answer her calls and it scared the hell out of her as only one thought occupied her mind. She ran her hand through her hair, sighing as she picked up her phone from the bedside table. She quickly scanned through the device, disappointment instantly eating up her hope. There was neither a missed call from Hannah nor Rose. She shook her head and sighed as she dropped the phone back. It was as if she
