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?

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

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

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?

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

After all, she knew David never lied… except for saying that he loves her.“She didn’t give me the files I need to learn. She ordered me around. Do all the photocopying, buy them their food or drinks, deliver the files to other departments, and even clean up their mess. Sometimes she asked me to fix the files even if it was past my work time.”“Is that the reason why you go home late?” David asked making Mariane nod.“Yes,” she answered with her mind still confused about why the supervisor did that to her.“John, call Miss Morgan,” David ordered.Miss Martina Morgan was Mariane’s superior and the supervisor of the accounting department.
