Liam was seated in his office and flipping through the pages on the huge medical book which was stationed on his desk, as he flipped through the pages, highlighting some key points and writing out important points on the jotting notes he had by his right. He was momentarily distracted by the knocking on the door as he raised his eyes, and watched the figure stroll elegantly into his office with a broad smile. His face contorted to a mask of displeasure the moment he saw Evelyn, whose lips were marked with a broad grin when she saw him. "Hi, darling," she smiled charmingly with a sweet voice as she moved close to his table. "Hi, Evelyn," he responded, without any improvement in the demeanor he had. "You do not look happy to see me," Evelyn observed and pointed out a slight knit in her forehead to show that she was upset, which made her look even cuter. "What are you doing here, Evelyn?" Liam went straight to the point and asked her sternly. "Ouch. You know that sounds mean, right?
Stacy had been so conflicted and confused about everything her friend had told her, and how things were going with her and Liam after the mistake that happened between them. Every hope she had for them to be together just came crumbling, when it was for a fact that it seemed like Liam was avoiding the situation from what Nadia said. "And he has a girlfriend too. Her name is Evelyn Garcia, and she is a new doctor in the hospital too," Nadia's words rang in her ears again and again. 'Liam had a girlfriend?' Stacy wondered endlessly, trying to comprehend the new information that she had never heard in her life, 'And a doctor at that? Did he date someone in medical school without her knowledge?' she pondered endlessly. 'Should she call him to ask him?' Stacy thought to herself again, and dismissed the thought almost instantly. 'As much as she was so curious about everything that was going on. She didn't want to ruin things finally between Liam and Nadia,' Stacy thought to herself agai
"It is almost one week, and your housekeeper is not back yet?" Stacy asked Carlton who was standing away from her, as she put her entire focus on the spinach that she was chopping gently on the chop board. "Yes. She is spending time with her family," Carlton answered, while checking the fridge to bring out the carrot that Stacy had requested for. "I am suspecting you, Carlton," Stacy muttered, a sly smile dancing on her lips as she sneaked a glance at him. "About what?" Carlton feigned ignorance with a very innocent look, as Stacy's steely gaze rested on his face. "You sent her home on purpose, didn't you?" She asked, her eyes focusing on what she was cutting this time. "I have no idea what you are talking about," Carlton answered as he scratched the skin beneath his nose and above his upper lips, and looked up to the ceiling like she was not talking to him. "I am sure you do," Stacy retorted, a malicious smirk crossing her lips."What are you making?" Carlton asked, as he dro
Nadia stood at the edge of the hospital rooftop as her eyes watched the bustling city, which was going on just at the same ground level as the hospital's first floor. The cool evening air swirled around her its peace and tousled through her hair, as she closed her eyes tightly to feel the calmness she had come to the place she had come to. The day seemed so long and exhausting with the influx of VIP patients that they had, and she spent all day walking nonstop without taking a rest. Barely an hour she had to herself after the events that had left her weary and drained, she left the midst of her other colleagues at the office to spend it alone away from the world. From her sadness. Sipping slowly on the iced raspberry juice she had brought with her, Nadia closed her eyes and took a deep breath to savor the icy sweetness of the drink, when a voice shattered the stillness around her. "Dr. Nadia," the person called out, with a fearfully familiar tone. 'Maybe she was hearing things agai
"Grandfather! What was that?!" Carlton yelled angrily as soon as his grandfather picked up the call. Later that day, he returned upstairs and Stacy had left to phone him. The moment he saw Marilyn standing at his door, he felt his world fall, crumble and shatter right before his very feet. The air around him crackled with the intensity of his emotions that brewed a storm beneath the surface, and it suddenly felt like his sight had been dampened just by seeing her. He almost lost his mind. "What are you doing here? How did you get here?" Carlton's voice was low but laced with a seething anger that he struggled to contain, as he struggled with his words in confusion. His fists clenched at his sides as his jaw narrowed in a hard line, as his steely gaze fixed on the woman who he had almost given his entirety to. "It has been a long time, Carlton. How have you been?" Marilyn asked, smiling charmingly in such a modest manner. She was donned in the best clothes that she had purchased
It was almost night, and Stacy was just driving back from Ryan's house. She had been bothered ever since she left CARLHILLS neighborhood earlier, that something was wrong with Carlton even if he tried so hard to hide it, ever since he went to check the person at the door. She wondered what was going on with him that he could tell her, but she didn't want to make him uncomfortable by questioning him endlessly like she had done in the past. She also knew he was not the type to open up about his problems so easily, so she was just going to make him comfortable enough to tell his worries to her. As Stacy navigated towards the last turning that led to her home, she saw a message that popped on her phone with an unknown number, and she wondered who it was. She checked it out after she had pulled into the driveway and alighted, just to see that it was a Hi, message from Evelyn. And the moment she typed Hello back and saved Evelyn's contact, she sent another message to Stacy, which read;
A gasp escaped Nadia's lips as her face turned hard to the side, after being smacked unexpectedly by Evelyn, who had just yelled at her face, "How dare you?!"It suddenly felt like she had lost her hearing for a few seconds, as her eyes spun into mild darkness at that moment. And in the rush of the not foreseen event that had hit her, Nadia slowly turned her head to Evelyn's direction with a glare, and sent a harder slap on her face in an instant. Without giving Evelyn the chance to get over the shock of the retaliation that had just hit her, Nadia sent another hard whack to Evelyn's face with a hardened gaze. "How dare you, Evelyn?! Why would you just hit me in that way?! Are we close enough to even exchange conversations?!" Nadia yelled at Evelyn, whose tongue was still caught up in her throat and unable to speak. Blood had drained from her skin, and her entire body had become impossibly stiff. Never would she have expected Nadia to requite in an instant."You slapped me?!" Evelyn
In a modern conference room of the gigantic company, the atmosphere crackled with tension as the board of shareholders gathered around the luxurious conference table. Seated among the shareholders was a confident and sophisticated woman, who exuded an air of allure and enigma. Dressed in a tailored designer suit that hugged her curves in all the right places, her beauty was mesmerizing, and her eyes sparkled brilliantly. As she sat poised and composed, her gaze swept across the room with a cool, assessing look, as her lips curved into a subtle smirk that hinted at arrogance. The other board members who had noticed her shifted uneasily in their seats under her penetrating gaze, as a sense of unease settled over the room like a heavy shroud. "Now, we shall commence what we are here for today. It is to vote out the current CEO, Carlton Howard, out of his seat, based on long-term negligence and health issues," a loud voice pierced through the air, drawing everyone's attention to the st
