Mariane walked out of the fire exit and headed to the waiting area where Anastacia and Jacob were waiting for her. While David followed her from behind. From a distance, Mariane saw Anastacia talking to a nurse who was holding a paper. She could clearly see her mom looking devastated while talking to a nurse. Anastacia’s shoulders fell as she looked into the paper. As Mariane got closer, she noticed that the paper Anastacia was now reading was a statement of account.“Mom?” Mariane called her attention.The nurse excused herself and exited the scene.“M-Mariane,” Anastacia stuttered as she tried to hide the paper of the statement of account she was holding.But it was too late. Mariane already saw the paper. “Mom, I already saw it,” Mariane asked the paper to her mom. “Can I have that? I knew it was a statement of account. Did you ask for a partial computation for our bill?”Anastacia was hesitant at first, but she had no choice but to show it to her daughter. She handed the paper to
Zach invited Mariane to have a coffee and catch things up. They went to a coffee shop nearby the hospital. Since the coffee was near the hospital, nurses and doctors often came to the said cafe. Their eyes were all on them as soon as they entered the coffee shop.They knew Zach was single and he was a heartthrob inside the hospital because of his tall, dark, and handsome figure. Aside from that, Zach had a bright smile that everyone could fall in love with when he smiled. He may not be active in the gym, but he has a lean and physically fit physique with well-defined muscles. Nurses, including Mariane, gasped when Zach rested his arm on Mariane’s shoulders. Zach was oblivious to the people looking at them, as he was busy looking at the menu in front of him.“I heard Doctor Smithe requested a VVIP suite for his fiance’s father. At first, I won’t believe it, but I think it’s true. I think she’s the fiance.” Nurse One said.Mariane got surprised at what she had just heard. “She’s cute
There are trees lined up along the road, bearing pink flowers. Under each tree was a long wooden chair where Mariane was sitting. While waiting for his best friend, he watched the passing cars to relieve his boredom. She tried to tuck her hair behind her ear every time the wind picked up.‘I will start working next week. Can I handle being with him and seeing him every day?’ she thought.Kim arrives without Mariane noticing her, as Mariane was thinking about what she should do as she was about to enter David’s company.“What are you thinking about that seems to be so deep that you don’t even notice my arrival?” Mariane jumped in surprise on her seat and held her chest as if her heart had popped out from her ribcage.“Pftt. If that’s a guy… Whoever he is, he will definitely be drowning in your thoughts by now.” Kim joked and chuckled when she saw Mariane’s epic reaction.“Dammit, Kim! Do you want me to die? I almost had a heart attack at your silliness.” Mariane continued tapping her c
“Did you really agree to what he wanted?” Kim asked him while they were having a spaghetti snack inside Diego’s room.Mariane stopped eating spaghetti and nodded her head.“Do you think I have a choice? But maybe it’s a good idea so that he can sign the divorce papers.” He replied.After a while, the door suddenly opened, which silenced the two women immediately.“Good afternoon.” A man wearing a white gown smiled and greeted them. “I brought you coffee,” he said to Mariane.“Dr. Smith, you don’t have to do this,” Mariane said as Doctor Smith handed her the coffee he bought for her.“I like to do this every day.” Zach smiled, showing off his beautiful smile.Mariane smiled back, and she mouthed thanks, and she put the coffee on the table. Kim, who was drooling over Doctor Smith, pulled the hem of Mariane’s sleeves.“Care to share who this Demi-god just landed right through my heart is?” Kim whispered to Mariane while her eyes were glued to the doctor’s face.Mariane pursed her lips as
Mariane was staring at the front of her closet in a daze, and she was looking at the clothes hanging on the hanger one by one, thinking about what she should wear.‘Is this the dress I'm wearing?’Mariane took a black and white colored short sleeve knee-length dress with a collar and measured it on her body while looking at the full-length mirror. She grimaced when Mariane realizes that it was too short, that when she bent over her butt could be seen.‘Too short,’ she muttered to herself.Mariane took another dress from her closet and measured some clothes. She took a long-sleeved silk blouse and high-waste shorts, but she realized that the weather was too hot, and she didn’t know where they would go and the long-sleeves could be too hot and uncomfortable. Especially if they go outdoors. The next thing she took was a crop top shirt, but she had stretch marks on his stomach and it would have made her feel uncomfortable as well.Mariane sighed in exasperation.“Arghh! Why am I worrying
Mariane received a letter from the office of the civil Registrar, three days after David signed their divorce agreement. After reading the letter, saying that their marriage was now null, Mariane couldn’t help but daze. It feels like there was a hole in her heart, and she couldn’t explain why she was feeling empty inside. It was like she was trying to fill the glass with water, but it couldn’t be full. ‘I should be happy now that I am single again, right?’ Mariane thought as she tilted her head. Mariane sighed. She stood up to prepare for her first day of work. Today, she will start working at David’s company as a new accounting clerk. Mariane feels a little nervous about meeting David again. Mariane remembered the last time they met when the three of them went for a walk in a themed park, where they had a three-day itinerary there. After they had a photoshoot, David took all the pictures they received from the photographer. And after the fighting incident, their whole day was quie
On the third day of their tour, they went to the famous grand fireworks display at the theme park that tourists usually go to because it’s not just ordinary fireworks. But that puts on a show for the audience. David brought a mat for them to sit or lie on. They also bring food so that when they are hungry, they have something to eat. After having lunch, they immediately went to the said park, where the fireworks display was being held. “Let me carry Jacob,” David said to Mariane, but she shook her head in disagreement. “No. It’s okay. I can carry him. You already bring a lot. Besides, I’m used to it. I always carried him whenever we go on our mother-and-son dates.” Mariane smiled to reassure him it was okay. When they arrived at the park, they immediately positioned themselves in the middle of the vast expanse of the empty park. Many people are already seated and have their own mats to use. Other children are playing and running freely in the wide flat area surrounded by Bermuda gr
"Mariane... Mariane!" Mariane was back from her thoughts when one of her office mates knocked on her desk.She didn’t notice that she was in a daze for a long time. She was thinking of her three days trips together with Jacob and David. When they went to the theme park, David left them without a word, and the man in black.“Uh, I’m sorry. What were you saying?” She asked.Her colleague rolled her eyes irritatingly. “I said get ready. The CEO is on his way. And he’ll be having a weekly office visit in each department.” Her colleague informed her.“He-he’s going to pay a visit in each department?” Mariane asked, who looked stunned.“Are you deaf? I just said that earlier, didn't I? Where is your brain, and you seem out of your mind?” Her colleague shook her head in disappointment. And left her cubicle.Mariane frowned at the behavior of her colleague. ‘She doesn’t need to be rude. I’m just asking, what’s wrong with that?’ Mariane pouted.Mariane cleaned up her desk. It was her first tim
