"I'm sure all of us will go," Brea said to other interns while I looked at the work I was given, Alexis was with Priscilla and doing some other work even if it was lunchtime. It turned out the party Mauricio was throwing was for everyone. What a show-off. I failed to understand why he was so adamant about taking Victor on. Only a brainless fool would want to challenge a man like Victor. It was obvious the VIP invitation he sent to me was to provoke me or continue pursuing me about joining his company. I already made it clear that I wanted nothing to do with him because I was happy with Victor"It's obvious some won't go...I mean why would our rival invite us...I'm certain this is a strategy"Brea and her friends continued their discussion. It was lunchtime and all of us gathered in the large office-like lounge. Priscilla told us we could come here and discuss matters related to work. I still had to finish up my project. It turned out that a week Victor gave us all was not enough to get
(Vivienne)"D...do you know how happy I am to see you"I couldn't hold back my excitement or refrain from shedding tears when I saw Cassy. It was like some part of me had been restored. She was so dear to me like an older sister. I cared about her just as she cared about me and seeing her again brought back so many memories. The days we spent laughing. Gossiping about work and an arrogant boss and the times we cried because we both thought the universe hated us. There was no genuine love, no good family for us. We had each other even through bad times. I missed her more than anything, both of us were crying like fools despite being grown-ups, and when I moved backCassy chuckled as she wiped tears from her face and I did the same. It was great to see her. She looked the same but completely different. Her skin was a little lighter than before. She had lost a little more weight than the last time I saw her and her brown hair was cut in a bob style. It wasn't long like before and she look
Victor sat in his chair as he watched Leo act like a teenager. Of all things he didn't expect Leo to be so happy to the point where he popped bottles of champagne at the same to e and started drinking in celebration"Will you stop making my office dirty, "Victor said with a glare that drilled holes if it could. Leo was too thrilled to even pay attention to what his friend was saying because he didn't care. His heart was in immense joy. After reading what was written in the file, he couldn't help but feel like he was on top of the world. Everything was blissful all he wanted was to run out of Victor's office and embrace Vivie unfortunately he was stopped by Victor from doing that"Stop it already...or do you want me to throw you out!"Victor made a low yell slamming his hand heavily on the desk and only his angry voice got Leo's attention as he stopped dancing and drinking and turned to look at his friend"What's up bro in law...it does sound super, doesn't it... BROTHER IN LAW" Leo sai
"Umm, I...I don't get it?"Alexis stammered with uncertainty, Maverick was apologizing to her. She never expected him to say sorry so easily. As much as things were awkward between them. She too wanted to apologize for being so rude. He was older than her and deserved some respect on her part but how on Earth was she to ignore the feeling she got from him. His gaze made her feel something strongly. Something she only felt for one man which was why she decided to keep her distance from the doctor"It wasn't right and very unprofessional of me to act the way I did... Ms. Crawley, find it in your heart to forgive me"Maverick, CK said softly after some time and Alexis was even more guilty...hearing his soft low yet the deep masculine voice was something she preferred not to think about. Maverick knew apologizing to her was a good start. He didn't know where to begin to explain himself when the woman before her was the same girl he thought he didn't want in the past. He had his reasons for
(Vivienne)"Morning sunshine?" like an alarm clock I heard someone shout in a cheerful voice. I wanted to react or get up unfortunately the man holding me in his arms tightened his grip around me...I relaxed as I snuggled more into his solid warm chest"It's the rise and shine...come on get up" this time the person's voice was accurate and it was Leo who said and soon I sensed as he walked around and I heard the opening of windows. This wasn't happening...I was too exhausted to entertain the likes of me. I pretended to be sleeping hoping Victor would say something but the man seemed more occupied in holding me than actually doing something about Leo. He was strange and scared me. His niceness was getting out of hand"Vivie, come on get up," Leo said as he walked back to the bed like a fool, I stirred and I found myself moving around as my eyes flickered open. The room shone brightly, making me yawn as I sat up. Regaining my senses I was fully awake when I found Leo staring at me with
(Vivienne)After a long day of work and hanging out with friends I finally got some time for myself. Cleaned up my apartment, made a good dinner, and took a hot shower. After Monica's appearance, I decided to come back to my apartment. I didn't tell Victor about this particular detail and the man was calling non-stop. I tried to ignore him unfortunately he wouldn't stop calling hence immediately I wore something comfortable. I threw a bunch of files and my laptop on the bed and finally picked up his call and put it on loudspeaker so I could work and hear him disturb me"Where are you?"The man's angry voice came from the phone I placed on the bed. "Umm...my apartment...any problem," I said hesitantly knowing I was trying to ignore him"I sent a driver...what happened?" he asked and by the sound of his voice, I could tell the man was working out. I smiled as I picked up some files I took from the office earlier and started perusing through them"Mr. Ellison I thought I was no longer we
~Flashback continues~Cassy had to deal with Leo. The man was wasted. It seemed he got into a fight with someone and injured his hand. Glass pieces were embedded in his flesh and getting them out frightened her. He needed to sober up and when she tried calling Monica so she could tell her what was happening. She was shocked when it was Justin who answered the phone. It was clear Leo was upset because Monica once again left Leo for JustinThe woman was too, she knew how much Leo loved her so why would she keep on seeing Justin"Leo I don't think…"Cassy started saying but stopped and let him do as he wanted. After a cold shower, she asked him to take it. Cassy was lucky she had a spare tracksuit for men which bought for herself which Leo wore after his showerAs much as it was awkward for Leo to wear something which belonged to her"You didn't have to come here Leo…" it was wrong for him to show up at my doorstep. Not just that but I asked him to sleep on my bed while I slept in the liv
Alexis woke up in the morning only to find herself wrapped in strong muscular arms. It shocked her to see the person was Maverick. As much as she knew there was an attraction between the doctor and her. She panicked and tried to get away..how on Earth did she end up in such a predicament"Oh no," she mouthed as she fixed her eyes on Maverick. He had refined features, from his thin red lips to his beautiful closed eyes. The contours of his face were rare and exceptional. She had seen handsome men before but Maverick was something else. So peaceful and caring. Recalling what had happened between them the previous day. She felt her cheek burning up from embarrassment."Stop staring"Maverick mumbled in a sleepy voice unexpectedly startling Alexis who was caught staring. She quickly averted her eyes from him and prepared to run away from the bed when the man suddenly trapped her. A warm shiver ran down her spine feeling Maverick's hands on her shoulder"Good morning...did you sleep well?"
