3rd Person's POVQuinn came back to their unit with her crestfallen look. No one asked her anymore since they all heard about the upheaval in the right corner of the large room. Their office is an open space that enables everyone to see other units, sundered only by 2-meter tall dividers. Quinn just passed a proposal to the finance, but not the commercial project with Nicole Smith, only to receive shouts and mocks from Mr. Dave who found the format so wrong.Gabbie approached Quinn when she sat down to her desk to redo the whole process. "What was wrong about the format?" she asked. Quinn looked at her with a guilty expression because she, somehow, knew she botched up this time."There is actually a company's standard format that we have to follow but I find it so confusing so I tried to change it this time with something convenient for me since it would make my work faster," she explained. "But I guess it's a big no since the company should stick to rules." She sigh deeply after that
3rd Person's POV"Leia! Josh!" Gabbie yelped the moment she saw the two entering the private room. They rented an exclusive dinette in a Japanese restaurant to finally talk about the commercial project they are about to do. Since they'll be meeting a supermodel today, everything should be well organized.The manager of the restaurant already got the heads up of the popular celebrity that is about to come so the security was strengthened all over the place.The directors of the commercial will be the two newly-arrived and Gabbie couldn't be more thankful for they both agreed straightaway when she called them. They are now five in the room including Quinn and Lester."How is office work, girl?" Leia started off and Gabbie made an exhausted expression which made them laugh. "Is it that hard?" Leia followed up.Gabbie nodded with a 'save me' look. "I swear I never imagined myself dealing with sales," she admitted."But you're doing fine since you have lasted a month already," Josh conclud
3rd Person's POV"I'm here to pass the format, Sir." Gabbie placed the document above the director's desk while the man is giving her sharp glares."Why are you passing this instead? Does your subordinate not confident enough to present this and thinks you'd be a good shield?""I am here for work, Sir. Am not trying to start an argument. Please check the proposal." Even still heavy-hearted, Mr. Dave took the file and started to review it as he should. Gabbie's team came prepared this time and made sure to submit a proper proposal format."I'll accept this," the director stated while rolling eyes. "Today should be a good day for me and I'll never let you ruin it," he mentioned and even felt the urge to share the thrilling news to the lady, "Just for your update, we're gonna have an important meeting today and be ready because your time on top is about to end in a bad note," he blabbed.Gabbie is fully cognizant of the board meeting that's about to happen and she knew, too what card Mr.
3rd Person's POV"How much time do you need to fix that?" Xander inquired."I have checked the file and I think the damage is quite massive. I'll be needing two to three weeks, perhaps," Jameson admitted. The boss understood the situation since he knew Jameson is always doing his best on his job."Ok, then give it to me whenever it's ready. And one thing's important," he raised his index finger to emphasize the note. "Don't ever let the recording be on my father's care. Never."Jameson is aware of the statement's implication and also knew the reason behind it. Mr. Alejandro will completely destroy the file especially if it truly holds something against him and Xander should never let that happen. He has to know the whole truth this time."But what if he threatens to kill me?" Jameson acted scared but Xander only glared at him."He will not kill you, I guarantee that. Just tell him you don't have the recording and he'll not force it out on you.""How can you be so sure?""He still need

And one of those is the commercial project that they are rushing now. She finalized the file early morning and passed it to Mr. Dave as soon as possible."You mean, Nicole Smith?""Yes, Sir. The famous model, Nicole Smith.""Huh! Ridiculous!" Mr. Dave stamped the proposal on his table with some force that jolted Gabbie a bit. "You know what? Before, I thought you're just some ordinary employee that would not contribute much to the company, you know what people with a high connection is like. But I didn't expect you to be this brainless." The girl was left open-mouthed with the account. Everyone is hearing this right now and the girl could only form fists to try to quell herself."I have explained in detail the benefits of this project to the sales of our clothing line. I presented our survey results as well as the f

"What do you think of the set?" Josh stood beside Gabbie who's now very focused with the photoshoot."It's perfect. Nice job, Mr. Director!" and she gave him a thumbs up. Josh smiled at her, feeling relieved that Gabbie liked his plans."Ok, let's have a 15-minute break!"

She cannot even realize that her tears are flowing on their own and wetting her cheeks. She doesn't understand any of the happenings. It was too fast and she can't ride on it. She must be walking too slow.Where did she lack? What part did she overlook? Was she tripping over something important?She was thinking hard until she felt a skin tapping her left hand.

I visited her yesterday and she told me she wants to go home already so we hit the road back together.She has been constantly giving me a smile of sangfroid and her eyes tell me she's not healed yet. She must be faking it to ease my worry but she doesn't have to do that. I want her to pour it all to me so I could make her feel better in any way I know.Yet, she still chose to sleep alone last night and I willingly gave her the space she needed.I unlocked the door to her room without even knocking and I was surprised to see her already up coz I expected her to be resting by now.
