Take Me Dislike?
Adagio~I haven't finished my work yet, and it is already midnight. It has been stressing me out more than ever because of the home and work chaos. It's as though I sleep with Aster every night since she won't sleep without me.Not that I care, but it's annoying to go home and see that face of hers the moment I enter. She is always around, taking care of me, which I clearly didn't ask for. I got up to leave. I took my bag and coat, and suddenly I heard a knock. I wondered who it would be at this hour. Mostly everyone has left. A part of me assumed it was Aster, but then, to my surprise, the door opened, revealing my brother. What on earth is he doing here? "What do you want?" I asked. He blinked in disappointment. I do not wish to greet him or see his face right now. "Have you slept with Aster?" He asked with a shaky breath, his eyes so much more than fear. "You came all the way to my office to ask that?" I asked him uninterestingly and in shock due to his stupidity. "Did you?" He
Take Me Arlo
Aster~I stood in front of his door, waiting for it to open. I was there with many thoughts in my head, and they had been there for a long time. Arlo, where was he for three months, and then he reappeared after my wedding?He does not even live with his family anymore. I just jerked out of my thoughts when the door opened, allowing the light to hit my face. I squinted and saw Arlo standing with a crimson face and tangled hair, a blanket covering him. He hardly kept his eyes open.I moved quickly and grabbed his hands in case he lost his balance. The interior design was nice, but his place was a mess. Empty cups and takeaways are everywhere. I looked around and saw the living room, which wasn't too far from the door."Hold me," I said to him, offering my support. I locked the door behind us and led him to the sofa.He sighed with delight as his body hit the sofa. I looked around to see the kitchen. I walked into the kitchen to see drugs, fruits, full trash, and unclean dishes. I sighed
Take Me Calming
Writer's povAster was in her own little world, preparing lunch for her darling hubby. She is working so hard to make things okay with Adagio. Arlo, on the other hand, was making every attempt to make up with her.Aster found herself in the midst, of giving up but not losing hope. If it weren't for hiding secrets, it could be less of a burden for everyone. Isn't that only going to worsen the crushed and buried problems? Aster has always been an enjoyable and selfless person. No matter how many times people crush and break her, she wishes them the best.Right now, she wants Adagio to be happy and carefree. Take him back to when he was at peace and didn't need something to drown his sorrows. If he ever needed anything to help him forget his troubles, she wished it would be her.James, her driver, was on leave today, so she was preparing to drop over his lunch by herself.***She smiled at the employees, who greeted her with respect but mostly out of dread, not for their jobs but for thei
Take Me Controlling
Adagio~Yesterday's incident is still running through my mind. All of my outburst of anger, or should I say some kind of panic attack that consumes when this fear of losing takes over?At that point I stand with a blurry vision of the future; it feels so lost and hopeless. I know what it took to sit here with power and authority. The thought of it vanishing from my hands sends this undeniable frustration and anxity. After all, it was the only thing that was putting the breath in me. What drives me crazy is that Aster walked into my office like she owned all the rights that possibly exist over me. No one ever dared to cross my office; the sound of breaking and wrecking would scare them away. I was convinced that she only stepped in without being aware of the damage I could cause. I hate how she coolly controlled my one hell of a mood. I am in denial; I cannot accept the fact how the sight of her, the sound of her voice, and the warmth of her touch made me feel. It was as though a sud
Take Me He asked!!
Aster~At this point, is it even worth helping Adagio? Never seen a man more adamant than him. It's almost impossible change his mind. I always believe deep conversation can open minds, but Adagio just won't let me speak. He always says something to cut me off or to make me dumbfounded. All these rantings and complaints about him push me to the edge of giving up on him. But deep down, I know Adagio has faced things that his heart is covered with metal. Not just any metal; it's something that does not give into, care, love, worry, or any kind of affection. Having thoughts line up in my head while I was just sitting passing away my time, not knowing what to do. I have done everything I could possibly do in this house, and no one can continuously do the same activities over and over again. Adagio never permits me to go out alone. If at all I want to go anywhere, I have to take James with me, and that's annoying having someone follow your every move; it's also suffocating. I heaved a h
Take Me Solutions
Aster~Adagio's assistant escorted me to my temporary office cabin. I sat down with a sigh of relief, thinking of ways to win back Mr. Godwin.This time, I needed to ensure everything went smoothly, without any setbacks. Perhaps this could be my chance to get closer to Adagio. If I secured this deal, maybe Adagio would start to warm up to me.With this thought, my motivation surged, and I was determined to present this project in the best way possible. I quickly scoured the internet for new, rare, and unique marketing strategies.Not only did I need a fresh approach, but I also needed a compelling idea to persuade Mr. Godwin. "Hmm," I murmured to myself, leaning back in my chair as I contemplated.I rushed to Adagio's office, confident in the idea I believed could bring Mr. Godwin back to our side. I knocked on the door and walked in, once again met by the cold air."That was faster than I expected," he smirked, straightening his posture as he prepared to listen."Well, that's why you
Take Me No way!
Adagio~I hate to admit it, but Aster's idea was creative and original. And when it comes to busniess, I always want the best. Today, she arranged a meeting with Mrs. Anitta, and I was quite curious to see what she had in mind to make her plan susscessful. She's even bringing in cilents, which I certainly won't complain about. Aster is full of surprises, and I find myself wanting to know more about her. She exudes postivity and happiness, and her smile never fades, which is almost unsettling. My assistant walked and informed me that the meeting is in five minutes. I put on my coat, adjusted my tie, and headed to the conference room. Everyone stood up and greeted me when I entered; I simply nodded in response. I took my seat and immediately noticed Aster arranging her documents and reviewing her notes. I appreciated how focused she was when she worked.Her hair cascaded down her shoulders, and she wore a fitted skirt paired with a pink blouse, looking professional and admirable. I n
Take Me Success
Aster~James agreed to do the advertisement, and it turned out to be a huge success. Mr.s Anitta is really pleased with the outcome. As I got to know James better, I found him to be relaxed and fun—completely the opposite of Adagio. The sales took off just a few days after the ad was released, and profits quickly started piling up. Mr. Godwin had to delay signing the contract for a few days to reconsider his options and untimately choose us. I've already come up with a brilliant idea for marketing his products. When I explained it to Adagio, he didn't object and, once again, asked me to take the lead. Adagio has become slightly less distant than before, but the coldness is still very much there. He keeps me at arm's length. Though it hurt, I didn't complain—any progress, no matter how small, is still progress. I've been working in his office unofficially, helping with his business, and I'm not even getting paid. But I have a feeling that once all this is over, he'll push me out of
