“Kianna, what is all of this about?” Signing the papers, I just let Seki say what she wants. After all, what I am doing surely isn’t what I planned it to be. Getting back in the industry, collecting allies I can have…. Just for the sake of overthrowing that person who ruined my life… I can’t help but want to laugh at myself. Is it really worth it? What I did… is it really how it would end? “We will just slow things down. I mean, the company is earning lots of eyes. They would really put a spark between me and the Hinsen. That ain’t good” “But, I… I can’t understand. I… I mean, are you just gonna stop all of that?” I heard the door open. Just like I thought, it was Serena. “Kianna, I heard about it… wait, what is gonna happen to your revenge? I know the bar is not full but you have charge. You have the chance…” Saying those things, Serena got a point. Even I know that much. I know that if I just continue… it may take time but I would get there. Even the people I am managing are
“How are things going?” “Everything is done according to the plan” “Good” With the man putting down the glass of his wine, a small tap can be heard. But what echoed in the room isn’t that sound but the banging of the door as it opened with a bit of force. “What is all of this about?” A small chuckle then escaped his lips. “It seems you have heard about the news…” “Why are you doing this?” The man who just barged in can’t hide the frown on his face full of question. His hands forming a clench, and he can do nothing but watch how the man in front of him to have a smirk on his face. “I also wonder why. What do you think? Have any thoughts?” He received no reply that made him chuckle even more. “Isn’t it… interesting?” And there he plays with his wine again. Looking at the agitated guy that barge to his office. Kianna’s POV “As you have heard, we won't be joining any events so far. Due to the growth of the company, we are focusing on meeting all the orders and quotas for this
“Kianna… ? Maybe… you should call him to clarify… I mean. Who knows, she maybe just a co worker. Right?” I know Serena is just trying to cheer me up. But even so… I can’t help but think much about things. Co.. worker… she says… I hope so… But… what is it in my heart? I… Should I just think of that as something a co-worker would do? I don’t even want to think about it… I just… “Yes… I would talk to him but… I think it would be better to talk about it in person… And… I also planned to surprise him. The news said there is a high probability it would snow tonight, right?” Forcing a smile, I tried to but failed… Gulping…. That is the only thing I can do. I lost appetite and after we both ordered drinks, Serena didn’t say anything. I was also quiet during our ride. Serena insisted on Drake’s office. Even though it was in the opposite direction of where she would go. As soon as the car stops, I can finally see the wide entrance of Drake’s working place. Looking back at Serena, she ha
“Ms… do you have a favorite place then?” The driver asked me as he had a smile on his lips. Judging by how he speak and his appearance, his age would probably be like my uncle. Does he have a daughter? Did she also have a lover? What would he do if he learned someone was cheating on his daughter? Closing my eyes, I can feel how my throat feels dry. Maybe I cry too much? I don’t know… and… I don’t really care… “Did you fight with your parents?” Shaking my head, I don’t want to speak. Because I am afraid once I do… I will find it hard to keep my tears. “Then shall I bring you to your parent’s house?” “My mom… she is overseas right now…” I quickly replied and let my eyes look at the window. Seeing the lights with different colors… the city looks lively. It is making me feel bitter how it seems so happy this night and yet… “Hmm, so it seems like it would be hard to offer you a ride to your mother. Your father is also overseas?” He sounds friendly. And I don’t find it bad to tal
Picking the money he gave me, I did not even realize how I forgot about my change. But… It was indeed Francis… What is he even doing here?? I did not even know it was Francis who was the owner of that voice was… How come I didn’t know? “No problem” He mumbled in reply as he removed his mask to eat his barbecue. And just as I thought, I was not surprised when I confirmed it really was Francis. Slightly putting distance between us, I am not sure how to leave. I mean… I don’t even know where to go and I am still enjoying my meal. Maybe he should just leave, right? Hah, let us not mind him. It is not as if he knows me anyway. I mean, I am in disguise, right? And he surely didn’t recognize me judging this night light and my scarf and clothes right? Right?? Not minding him I just continue to eat my barbeque. The snow falls down but it isn’t as heavy as I thought it would be. Just small droplets are enough to make you feel like in a fantasy. Slightly gigging, the moment I bite at th
“I don’t know what is going on in that man’s head… why would he….” Clenching his fist, Marco slams his hand on his table. He did try to calm himself down but nothing seemed to work. His face clearly showed how bad his week had been. Meeting after meeting about the issue his company was facing, it was not even his forte to begin with. Another knock was heard coming from the door. But he runs out of patience about being called into a meeting with the shareholders. The Hinsen company was a wide and strong company that held almost all of the fashion industry. It is even a big threat for overseas fashion companies as they have a big impact on society. “All is doing great if that man…” The door opened. It was just as he thought, it was something related to the issue circulating about his ‘father’s’ bad deeds. About how he had a connection with criminals and even became the mastermind of some crimes that were dismissed as an accident. “Sir, please be ready in ten. The media are all set
“How long will this take?” I asked Francis. He was looking at the area as he was checking if we could pass through. Just one more turn and we can head straight to the highway that connects to the office. But there seems to be no hope of getting through. “It seems like a van hit the other vehicles. Causing damages even on the nearby stalls. The whole road was closed. I asked and they said it would take time for the help to arrive. They are stuck in XXX since the snow was heavy there. They can’t get through…” So it was like that… but how about the other alternatives? I am not that knowledgeable about this place but for sure there would be some routes, right? “I also tried asking about the other lane and yes we can get through there but the road is covered with snow” Now that he mentioned… the snow is falling heavier than a while ago. If I lay my hand catching some, in a minute my hands would be covered by snowflakes. What should we do? It is also getting cold… Looking around, the
“Thank you once again, Kieffer” As soon as I gave back the helmet that he had lent me, he replied. “No problem, I also have business nearby” I can say it took a lot of time since we stopped because of the snow. But the ride was a success. Thanks to his help, I arrived here much faster. “I’ll give you a discount when you purchase in my shop” He slightly laughs at my offer. “Sure, thanks” It was weird how I didn’t find any problem with what was happening. Maybe it is what you would feel to if all the other guys didn’t matter to you. I can’t help but smile bitterly when I remember Drake. He then left after bidding his goodbye. I eventually arrived at my office. In front of the moonlight’s palce. However… it was quite late and I was also sleepy. And yet, I find it hard to head inside. Looking at the tall building in front of me, I smiled bitterly. I really want to see Drake soon… it is the first time I would sleep not being able to fix our problem… I want to talk to him now that
