With her rear, Jessica shut the refrigerator door. While holding a bottle of water, she was absorbed in her phone in the other. Before she forgot, she needed to address a lot of notifications.Her I*******m feed was constantly updated with fresh content from her friends from high school and college, all of whom appeared to be having the time of their lives. Her free trial of Spotify was about to expire. She opened the LinkedIn app to delete the new notifications, assuming they were about the usual seminars she was frequently reminded about.Not at all.Instead, it was a job offer from OJ publishers, which she confirmed by squinting her eyes. Aha. Of course, as soon as she is fired, the competition overwhelms her.The terms of the offer weren't as enticing as what she received from working for Terry , but they were still better than her previous place of employment. She would be incredibly appreciative of the offer if she were unemployed.In any case, she wouldn't have a job in a few mo
In the office, Eleanor awaited Rex's arrival. Dennis complimented her on how attractive she was. A small strap in her hand was holding up a short ready-to-wear dress as she was putting it on. She had a stylish yet casual makeup look. She had her hair up in a ponytail as usual. Yes, she ultimately decided to go with that hairstyle after much thought. She repeatedly checked the time, but Rex was not in the vicinity of the office. She had to take money out of her pocket to buy a dress, and it had taken her so long to get ready, that it would hurt if she had to go home and miss the party.As soon as she caught a whiff of his sandalwood cologne, she stopped her racing thoughts. Everyone was familiar with the odor. It was to be assumed that he was close by whenever it was felt. He did indeed appear. Rex appeared the same as he always did. The broad shirt, tall stature, and gelled-up back hair. a shirt with the buttons halfway up and an expensive blazer. Anyone could tell from his excellent w
It was Donald's fifth time babysitting. It was not some ordinary kids he was to take care of, but his nephews, more or less the worst kind of creatures he had ever set his on. One of the 1000 ways to die, if you asked him. He tiredly held the book in his hand, and read its contents out loud to the kids who had threatened him to. Funnily enough, they weren't concentrating, but made him do it anyway.Thirty minutes. Thirty minutes and he'd be off the misery.”What are you waiting for, go on” the youngest nudged him without even looking up from his box of crayons.”Sure, sure,” Donald responded tiredly and continued,“As if tapped awake by an invisible finger, Royian blinks his eyes open, springing quickly up into a seated position. He fingers the dagger hidden away under his pillow and rests his hazel eyes on the door, argus-eyed. His ears perk up at the faint sound of approaching footsteps—the louder it gets, the longer he holds his breath. The rattling sound of keys against the door
Aria woke up to Damien stroking her hair.She looked up at him with her eyes still heavy from sleep, she was confused and happy at the same time.She was confused because Damien never woke up this late and she was sure that it wasn’t a weekend.It was Thursday, so why was he still here next to her, stroking her hair softly and smiling at her like he had all the time in the world?But she was happy that he was here, that he was near her, holding her like he would never let her go, she almost didn’t even want to ask him why he stayed at home and missed work, but part of her knew that she had to.She was going to let curiosity get the better of her.“Are you done ogling me” Damien asked her, still smiling, his voice playful.“Not yet” Aria smiled back “I haven’t had my fill yet” “In that case, I am all yours to ogle, though I could think of something else I rather be doing” Damien allowed his eyes to trail around Aria’s body suggestively.“Oh really” Aria giggled mischievously, as he dr
Today was going to be a good day.Dinah thought that evening as she smoothed her body fitting short black dress.She checked her face again, her make up was dark and sultry, almost seductive, she had smoky eye shadow on, her eyes were lined to make a cat-eye effect, her green eyes shone bright and alert and her lips were red, a dark shade of red.As she regarded herself, her smoky makeup, her short black dress and knee-length boots. She looked good, she looked really good for a first date, for a guy she was not even sure of, a guy who she just met.Maybe it was too much she thought, maybe she would scare him off, she considered changing.Then she stopped herself, she had a good feeling about tonight, she had a good feeling about Donald. After they met again at the store, he had collected her number and they kind of hit it off, now here she was wearing her most expensive perfume, going on a date.She smiled as she thought of how he always seemed speechless around her and she grabbed
Dinah parked the car at a drive thru.“Um, what are we doing here?” Donald asked, confused, this wasn’t where he thought Dinah had in mind for a date.“One big mac and fries with a coke please” Dinah shouted at the drive thru operator.Dinah looked at Donald’s confused expression with a straight face, even though she already knew what he was thinking.“What will you have?” She asked him,“Um… er two big macs with a coke”She repeated the order and turned back to him, confused didn’t you already eat at the restaurant.“Yeah” he said his face serious“Why are you having two big macs then?”“I’m a big boy” he looked at her, a silly expression on his face“Wow… um okay, well don’t ask me for my fries okay” Dinah turned back to the drive thru operator, who was looking at her with a frown“Miss, you are holding up the queue” he gestured at the other cars behind her, who had started to honk their horns.“Oops sorry” Dinah smiled apologetically as she started the car.“Drive to the front for y
Jessica asked in a hostile manner, "What do you want? However, she thought she had permission."All right, first of all, I just want to say that I'm sorry for the way I spoke to you on the phone the last time. I made a mistake. Please pardon me?Jessica was genuinely shocked. "It's okay. To me, that was insignificant. "Fes sighed in relief. "I appreciate it. Jessica, may I please call to politely ask that you return to working for us soon? As soon as Fes finished speaking, he held his breath.Laughing, Jessica. Request turned down. I currently have a good job that allows me to live. Tell me the real reason you suddenly want me back. That can't be because you forgot about me. " The good guy act wouldn't work because Jessica was a transparent person.“Mr. Give you your job back, Henley and the other executives commanded.Jessica wanted to clarify the situation. You're saying 'Mr. I was fired by Henley and the other executives, and now they want me back. What wealth! They decide to fire
“…you have to make him fall in love with you,” Jessica didn't need to see him to know that she probably cringed at her own words. Was she acting some kind of soap opera that she would have to do that? Why would they tell her to play with another person's feelings. She felt it might have been easier to consider had it not been Terry, who had been extremely nice and helpful to her. 'Sorry... are you coming again? I didn't quite get it — I could swear I heard you say something like you wanted me to make him fall in love with me or something,” Jessica scoffed into the phone."Jessica…please.""Is this a sick joke? What do you think this is? A movie? Or a book on one of those free PDF apps? Do you think I'm some sort of Angelina Jolie?” Jessica thought to herself.“Fes, I don't know if you know how life works, but I don't think people really make people fall in love with them just by showing up in front of their house,” Jessica gave Sam a puzzled look of confusion as if she thought Fed wa
