Just like what I said to Talla, I wanted to have a half day. I will going to work this afternoon so that I won't miss any schedules of Mr. Woods. Besides I am getting better now. Maybe that night is the most regretful night in my life.I am still annoyed about that liquor that Justin gave to me. Hays, I didn't know that he loves drinking those kinds of drink.Anyways, the most thing that I can't still moved on until now is Mr. Woods. I heave a sigh again when I remembered that he slept in my house. because Dad allowed him.I shake my head while staring at my reflection from the mirror.I bite my lip as I remember what he said.I should rest. Why would he allow me to absent just because I am so wasted last night. He doesn't like late works and absence of employees. He is so hard to understand. Aside from that, I also need to work, I don't want my salary to get decrease being absent. I am about to find a taxi when I go out from our house. It is already twelve o'clock and maybe they are
"Miss Kellah, how are you. I am so worried about you last night. If it was not Mr. Woods I won't let you go home alone."I bite my lip while awkwardly smiling in front of Justin. I glanced at the other Employees who is also eating with us.Since we already have lunch in our house with Mr. Woods they invited me here to have some talks while they are all eating.I didn't refused because I also wanted to be here rather than staying close with Mr. Woods especially that he keeps reminding me about what happened last night."No need to worry anymore, Justin. I am fine now and I also feel better now. " I answered so that he will also going to stop now from whining when in fact he is the one who gave me that strong alcohol causes me to be that dizzy and drunk.Maybe he does not remember that or he is just thinking that it was fine and never thought that I am not really good or into drinks."So Mr. Woods really took you home, Miss Kellah?" My
I go back in the fifth floor and give the drinks for Miss Jessie but I can't bring my vibe again because of what Ammy did. Sad to say but she ruined my day. I mean, I just wanted to have a peaceful mind at work but it seems like I am facing this without a choice.I don't know what her problem towards me but one thing for sure, she doesn't like me.I heaved a sigh and click the cabinet to open the hidden door of Mr. Woods office. Just like the usual I entered there like a free princess, of course I am his secretary."A drink," I uttered and drop it right in front of his table."Thank you." He said as he immediately grab it.He drink it without hesitations while glancing at me.I stretch my mouth to force a smile."Welcome. I'll go back to my work now." I uttered and about to turn my back from him but he immediately stopped me."Wait," He uttered and walk towards me after he stood up.I raised my brows."What is it, Sir?" I ask and tilted my head.
I watch myself in front of the mirror and trying to see if I am already fixed.I let a heavy sigh and put a little layer of lip stick again. I don't need to pay or to hire a make up artist just like what the other employees plan for the event.I can't understand why Mr. Woods bought the dress and this heels... only for me. But anyways, Miss Jessie and the other already have dresses to wear so no need to worry anymore. "Missss!!" I almost jump in amusement when I heard Talla shouting outside my room. What is her problem?"Your uhmm boss? Yes, your boss is already here!"My eyes widened and I immediately check myself from the mirror for the last time. I don't know if I already looked okay but it already satisfy me.My pointed nose are naturally showing without any make up in it. I just used a powder all over my face and pinkish make up since my skin is white and light make ups only suits me so that I decided to use this type only. My lips is the
There is a lot of people around. They are all drinking something and just looking at those liquor all I wanted to do is to vomit. But anyways, I am not here for that.I lifted my gaze towards the stage. I saw some staffs fixing a microphone in the middle. The place is so captivating. There are wavy designs but still it looks modern unlike those events I've attended before. The surroundings is decorated by royal blue and silky white with a red carpet in the middle of the way. I am looking around to find the selected employees in the UZ bank. But I think Mr. Woods planned that everyone could attend, he said last day that there's no difference from his employees. Everyone is on the same level and hardworks inside the company. I didn't expected him to say it though, but still I am proud of him. "Let's find a table." Mr. Woods suddenly whispered to me.I nodded and doesn't know where to go until I found the table where all the employees are there.I smiled when Miss Jessie found me too. T
Looking at him is making me proud. I don't know. What's wrong? "Kellah, did Mr. Woods fetch you? I mean you two came here together. " Miss Bea ask with so much curiousity.I don't know what to answer because I am scared that they might think something again about our relationship. I mean, he is my boss and I am his secretary. I am just listening to his commands that I should wear these clothes, go with him and listen to him.."No, uhm we just met outside." I answered while shaking my head."Awh, but still you two entered here together. You know what, if I didn't know that you are his secretary, I will think that you're his date. " Miss Bea laugh playfully. Yeah, Mr. Woods indeed told me that I am his date and there is no way for me to tell them about that ."Why would Mr. Woods consider a cheap woman as his date?"I immediately turned towards Ammy who is beside of of Miss Bea. The other employees didn't hear it because they are super busy talking to each other.Miss Bea was too stun
The dinner in the party already started. Everyone is enjoying and of course liquor can't be absent from the event but I already promised that I won't drink again like that before on Mark's birthday party.I decided to go to the powder room because I am a little bored. Mr. Woods didn't go back yet in the table. He needs to talk to the other business man and stock holders of the company. I stared at myself in the mirror inside the ladies room and I couldn't help but to ask myself why I am even here. I mean I am very lucky that I got this job from the first place. I am also very thankful about her. I've seen her from the internet last month after she recommended me here. She is abroad and need to run some errands that is why I can't say thank you to her personal and just messaged her through messenger.She said if she will go back she will ask Mr. Woods about my performance since she trusted me so much. In the middle of my thoughts the door of the Ladies room sud
Everyone is so noisy and I heard that some of the employees from UZ bank is chitchatting from the second branch and that is great too so that they can create and build connections even if they don't actually work together inside the same building. I am glad that this kind of event develop the communication between all of us. This is kind of helpful. The others are dancing already and I can't help but to feel happy too about them enjoying this.All of the songs are just mellow and it would be ugly if we create too much noises since there are a lot of visitors aside from the employees of the UZ bank. "Miss Kellah, are you trying to avoid me these days?" I almost lost my mood because of Justin. I mean, he is kind. Justin is a great friend and not gonna lie, he is handsome too. I've heard that other girls from the third floor are having a crush for him. But I just find him annoying these days because of what he did last time on Mark's birthday. But anyways
’That was Melden earlier. We are just eating lunch because she will having a piano lesson today.’’ He suddenly uttered.I was a bit shock since I didn’t expected that it was Melden.Now, let us ask too why is he telling me about it?‘’Awh, really? I didn’t recognized her maybe because she is facing you. She grew up so fast. I hope we can meet again.’’ I uttered casually so that he will already let me leave.‘’Yes you can if you didn’t left that fast earlier. I saw you, you eat there a while ago and when you saw us you were too fast and you left right away.’’ He answered and now a little bit annoyed.‘’You are really insisting that I am avoiding you, aren’t you? Aside from that I am used of eating so fast so why do you care about that, huh?’’ I sarcastically asked him.Last night when we met after the meeting he was so different and also earlier when he approached me and now I can already see the Rozieden where I am used of talking to, impatient and very bossy when he talks.‘’As far
I am facing my laptop when suddenly I received an email. I am so busy managing my budget for the building. As what Mr. Marforri said the permit will be out maybe next week and I already need to prepare to renovate the space and here I am planning it already. I am just lucky that Masha offered a help for the designers since she have friends when it comes in designing and I am thankful for that.I am also searching for workers that we need for the renovation, such painters and other workers who is involved in construction working.Next that I need to put in the list is the shops that we need to ask to provide all the things that is need in the restaurant such as chairs and tables and also for the themes so that the restaurant will have a good or nice ambience to create a good impression to the customers.Today is Wednesday and I read the email and it says that the permit will be out already in the Friday. The work will probably start In the Monday if I am already done gathering all the
I am facing myself in front of the mirror inside my room's bathroom. Is it worth it that I am still fighting until now. Is it worth it that instead of giving up yeras ago, I continued my life and didn't gave up. I am still here, I still ahve the energy but I am not sure if I still have the courage that I tried to burried inside me after all the tragedy that happened three years ago in my life. I am hoping and wishing that I can see and find the reasons again that I used before to continue. I am scared that I am losing it again. I am scared that I will be weak and fragile again. Three years ago it was not easy for me to survived. Three years ago I am so empty and nothing compared to who I am right now. I know I am not just the one who is experiencing these things too. for sure there are also people in this world who is always crying at night. People who are almost giving up on this life because they can't take it anymore but still they find reasons to live. Just like what I said
In the next coming days, I still need to wait for the permit. After that I will already start the renovation of the space, it will takes time and I need to be very handful about it after it happens. I need to be very focus about it too so that I can record all the expenses. I also need to hire another workers too for the renovation, cleaning and designing. I am too tired about last night. It was just a simple meeting and it made my eyes swollen like this. Well, who the hell even told me to cry hard like that after seeing that man after three years, huh? No one, no one and it was all my fault. I stopped drinking my coffee when suddenly my messenger started ringing and it was Masha who is calling me. It is a video call with her. I answered it immediately and place my phone in a pitcher so it will show my whole face while just drinking coffee at the same time. ‘’Kellah!’’ She greeted happily but her expression change immediately when she saw me. ‘’What happened to you, girl?’’ She a
Exact seven o’clock in the evening when I arrived to that expensive private restaurant that they sent as the address where the meeting should be held.There is nothing weir inside and just like how rich people usually interact with each other. I ask a crew for a booked meeting room and I showed her my ID and traced it. After it they show me the right room. It is indeed private. A crew opened the door for me and without hesitations I entered even if I am so freaking nervous about this. I am so freaking nervous for all the possibilities that might happen.I heaved a sigh when I saw two men sitting in a chair and in front of them is a table with foods and drinks that for sure so expensive just like how they look.I smiled to them and so they are to me. I can already see their faces clearly but no one looks like him to them. An old man smiled to me genuinely as he offers a seat to me.‘’Good evening young lady. I bet you are the owner of the ‘Pan de Restaurant.’” He uttered and I smiled t
My hands are shaking while drinking the coffee in my hand. Even once in the whole three years of my life, I didn’t expect this to happen. I mean, I am always thinking of him. He keeps running in my mind for almost three years of not seeing him. The only man that made me feel this way.But I am not sure yet if we will meet there. I am not sure yet if he will be there too but usually, three years ago he always do meetings personally.Dang, why am I even expecting too much? But is this just a coincidence that the lot’s owner wanted partnership for the building so that we will get a permit? But of course it is just a coincidence.I heaved a sigh and suddenly thought of doing something. Is it just fine if I will search him online? Is he still active on the business? But at the end I got tired of searching because his name isn’t appearing. Maybe social media isn’t his thing, even before, we just text each other and call.I shake my head at the end because I am here again thinking about him
Why the hell I didn’t notice that? Why didn’t I check where it came from? I am so dumb! I am so dumb!I screamed while running back and forth in my room. I am trying to cover my face and keep reading it again just to make sure that I am just mistaken but I am not! I am not! It’s real. It is really that bank.A partnership with that bank? A partnership with him?I am too stunned and just staring somewhere the whole night. I can’t still process it. It doesn’t want to sink in and I keep shaking my head.‘’No, this isn’t true. This isn’t true.’’ I muttered while biting the tip of my nails to stop myself from panicking too much.I can still remember the exact details before.How I watch his sorrowful eyes while I am leaving. My heart aches because of that memory. I am a terrible person for hurting someone like him. I am so selfish that time but I don’t regret it. It is painful, indeed but I’ve grown because of my choices in life. I learned too and those times with him will always have a sp
It took me three hours before I finally opened the email. I immediately read it while eating a sandwich for lunch. I parked my car near a gasoline station after I full tanked it. I am wearing a crop top sleeveless inside my gray blazer and a black pants partnered with a stilettos. I am leaning in the car like I don’t care about all the people passing the street. I remember what Toni said, my worker from the main branch. She said we need to settle a partnership from a bank? A bank? Seriously? Bank is too big to have a partnership with. It somehow reminds me of someone who is too grumpy and annoying but always managed how to communicate with investors and partnerships. I heaved a sigh after I finished reading the email. TO; Owner of the Pan de Restaurant branches. We are very open for partnership to fully and finally receive the permit in the City of -. We are asking for the presence of the owner for clarification and words from him/ her too. Thank you and we are expecting for yo
In the next days, I decided to assign someone to watch for the restaurant. I decided to move in the City to settle the paper that is need to settle. I am building a branch there, finally. At first, I am hesitating to build it in the City and I asked myself why. I ask myself for a reason and I just can’t find a valid one especially if Masha keeps pushing me to do it. ‘’You know what, just push it. Do it already and do not hesitate. It is not about the past, in fact it can be your way to heal yourself, girl. It’s for the business too.’’ She keeps motivating me and it always works to me. Masha is such a good friend to me. I met her one year ago and I really enjoy her company and kindness. ‘’Yeah, don’t worry. I already made up my mind so nothing can change it anymore. I forgot to read the email, I need to hang this call already, Masha.’’ I uttered and she just groaned from the other line and for sure she is already rolling her eyes if we are together now. She is busy for her son’s mov
