"What was that, Minlyn?" Frustration and curiousity is evident in Yhael's voice.

We just got out of the university, still shocked of what had happened inside. I was also panting a little because of how loud my heartbeat was.

"I-I'm sorry, Yhael, I don't even know why he behaved like that earlier," I apologized.

"You know him? Who is that? Why does he act as if he owns you?" he uttered in annoyance.

"Y-yes, it's sir Hendrake. He's the CEO who watched our presentation."

He looked a little calmer. "Why was he acting like that earlier?"

"I-I don't know either, he wasn't like that when we presented in front of him and when he offered me the job in his company," I explained because even I couldn't understand what he had done earlier. I was also a bit terrified because of the words that came out of his mouth and how he threatened Yhael.

"Hold on, you're going to work for his company? You're leaving the coffee shop? Is that why he introduced himself earlier as your boss?" he asked conse

    "Mom, I'm home," I shouted as soon as my feet touched the floor of our house. Mom immediately came out of the room and greeted me. The tiredness and weakness on her face is obvious, I think it's because she has done a lot of laundry today. "How's work?" She asked me worriedly. "I'm sure you're very tired." "I can do it, mom. Just a little push, we can pay our bills and debt again," I said, referring to my salary that was about to be given. Mom solemnly looked at me. Worry and pity was evident in her eyes and it was painful to look at that so I just looked away. "Have you eaten, mom? Where are my siblings?" I asked, changing the subject. I can't bear to see my mother in pain. I don't want to cry in front of her. "T-they just finished, dear. There's still a dish left over there for you." Mom assisted me in the kitchen and served me food. A bowl of rice and sardines. "How about you, mom? Have you eaten yet?" She just smiled, a sad smile. "Don't worry about me, sweetie

    MINLYN VERMOSA"What do you want to eat? You can pick whatever you want, I'll pay for it." I've been quiet since he invited me inside the convenience store because of shyness. After our conversation earlier, he suddenly let me out of the car to invite me to eat first. "Hey, you don't need to be shy..." He caressed my back that sent my body into frenzy. "Uh, I'm not that hungry..." I moved my back away from him and he seemed to notice because he looked down at his hand that fell when I moved slightly away from him. "Woman, I literally heard your stomach grumbling a few minutes ago." He poked his cheek using his tongue. "Don't be stubborn." I took a deep breath and grabbed a cup of instant noodles. I'll just pay him when we meet again. If ever we'll meet again. "Grab a few more, you can bring it home," he ordered. "N-no, this is enough," I refused. I'm already embarrassed to take one piece, what if I take more? I heard his tongue click and I'm so shocked when he literally grabb

    "OMG, SIS!" I heard the scream of my gay friend August as soon as I entered our floor. Our other co-workers looked at him so I bowed down in shame."What the hell Augusto, stop screaming! My ears hurt," I scolded him as I approached my cubicle."Yuck! Don't call me Augusto! I hate it!" he said hatefully so I laughed. He even shook his clothes as if there were dirt on them."So, what's tea, sis?" I asked, chuckling. Because I know that even if he just screams the name that screams, I know that he has a story to tell."Eh, because, girl, you really won't believe what I'm going to tell you! Do you know what that is?" He came to my cubicle and sat on a swivel chair of our colleague who was not here yet."Oh, what's that?" I said bored while setting up my desk. We will start working soon. Fortunately, I got in early today."The CEO of this company is coming!"I turned to him after he said that news. I don't know but I suddenly became anxious. My chest pounding is also strange.I didn't thi

    MINLYN VERMOSA"Oh, Minlyn, I guess you're late?" comment from my boss here at the coffee shop where I work."S-sorry, B-boss, I did my research paper and I fell asleep at three o'clock in the morning," I apologized.My schedule is really a hassle because apart from being a first year college student, I also have a part-time job as a cashier at a coffee shop owned by my friend's cousin, Sunrise and Sunset Coffee Shop.I got home late last night because I worked overtime here at the shop, I did my school works so I fell asleep at three o'clock. Then I woke up earlier at five in the morning so I was really late. That's why it's called the Sunrise and Sunset Coffee Shop because it opens before sunrise and closes after sunset. I'm still sleepy because I'm not getting enough sleep. Fortunately, my first class is scheduled for eleven o'clock today, so there is still plenty of time. My schedule is different every day, and it's the same here at the coffee shop."Alright, get to work. We'll be

    MINLYN VERMOSAAfter the last customer today at 10:30, I immediately left the counter and put my stuff away. I already said goodbye to Ma'am Eliza earlier that I'm leaving.I'm really glad that so many customers came earlier. The entire coffee shop is almost full. Others chose to take out rather than dine in.I don't know why but after the man in the tuxedo earlier, I think it was office attire, the number of customers immediately increased. He is like the shop's lucky charm, so our customers increased immediately.I admit he is handsome. His face is well shaped, his nose is sharp, his eyebrows are thick, his jet black hair is neatly combed. His blue eyes, his dark complexion and his height are also eye-catching. He looks like a billionaire.He was acting a little weird earlier because he was stunned. Maybe he is sick that's why.I was arranging my things in the staff room when Thraia suddenly entered with raised eyebrows and looking straight at me."You're going home already?" she as

I asked modestly.He couldn't answer because he was still panting. When he caught his breath, he looked at my knee."Y-your knee is b-bleeding..."I also looked there and winced when I saw that there was a lot of blood. I forgot that I had a wound because of my crash earlier."Oh...I-I got into an accident on my way here," I replied.Concern immediately drawn on his face. "W-what? Why? Are you okay?"I smiled a little. "Don't worry, Ark, I'm okay. I'll treat it later.""B-but you need to treat it now. It might get worse," he said worriedly."I'm fine, Ark. It'll heal quickly."He shook his head. "No, Minlyn. What if you get infected? That's even worse."I bit my lower lip and looked at my bleeding knee. The wound isn't that big but it does have blood. Even if it's small, it's an open wound, so it's not likely to get infected if it's not treated r

    MINLYN VERMOSAI woke up because the sun hit my cheek. I looked at the clock and saw that it was eight o'clock in the morning. I immediately jumped out of bed when I realized that I was already late for class.My class was supposed to start at 9AM and now it's 8AM! I don't even have a chance to go to the coffee shop because my class today starts at 9AM."Why didn't I wake up?!" I exclaimed and quickly took my necessities before taking a bath. My bath that was supposed to take 10-15 minutes only took 5 minutes."Oh, sweetie, why are you in such a hurry?" Mom asked in surprise while carrying a basket full of laundry."I'm gonna be late for school, mom. I didn't wake up early!""Oh my god," she uttered. "Wait, let me help you!" Mom immediately put down the basket and took my things from the room and arranged them. She also kept asking me if I was okay."I'm good now, mom. I'll have to go! Bye!" I grabbed my bag and kissed mom on the cheek before rushing out.For God's sake, my class is a

Maybe they are already asleep because the night will soon fall. Mom will have a lot more to take care of tomorrow.I went to the kitchen and opened the lid of the pot. I sighed when I saw that there was no more food there.Fortunately, I ate there at the convenient store.I went to the room and opened the door. I smiled when I saw Mom as well as my two brothers side by side in the same bed and sleeping soundly.I looked at Mom and shook my head when I saw the wound on her hand from washing clothes. It is guaranteed that she will not be able to act properly again. I approached her and fixed the blanket."Don't worry, Mother, we can get out of poverty," I whispered softly. I smiled before leaving the room.I have to act because I have to go to school early tomorrow. I just put my bag in my room before ge
