“Thank you for the coffee..” Sterling flashed his dazzling smile.
“My pleasure..”
He was about to walk to the counter to pay for his coffee and sandwich when she stopped him. “Ah.. It’s on me today. As Congratulations.”
“Oh.. I appreciate it but I wouldn’t feel at ease if I let you do that.” He moved to get his wallet out of his suit pocket.
“No, please. Truly, please allow me to do this. Next time, you can pay..” She smiled amiably.
“Alright. Next time then..” He nodded at her. “A pleasure to meet you..”
“You too..” She bid him farewell as he left her coffee shop.
Sterling went back to the hospital and went directly to his office.
His assistant, Damian came in. “Coffee, sir?”

Camelia Lockridge looked at her employee intently. She had just hired her not long ago. So far, she has been acting professionally. Before she hires employees, she would always do background checks and since Kelsey passed, there’s really no reason for her to be hard on her. “How do you plan to pay him? You have to understand that it was also probably hard for him to come up with that money himself, and to have that disappear..” “I understand that ma’am. I could pay him in installments if he would agree. I will get another job so I can do that.” Kelsey had a determined look on her face that touched Camelia. She nodded. “Alright. Then how about this, I will promote you to manager and raise your salary. But you have to really take care of this store for me. If you’ll agree, we will draft a contract so you can work under me for a period according to the money I will lend you so you can pay him sooner.” “Ma’am?” She blinked up at her in confusion. “I will let you borrow money from me s
Sterling had stopped walking. Although he was facing forward, his ears were focused on listening to the conversation on the side.The female employees have been talking so animatedly that they didn’t notice their boss eavesdropping on them.“Wait, so what really happened? Can you start from the beginning?”“Fine. So a patient came in and she was pregnant. She came with a man whom even I thought was her husband because they’ve been calling each other hubby and wifey. When the medical assistant was taking their information, she mistakenly assumed that they were wed. It turns out that they’re still boyfriend and girlfriend.”“What’s so strange about that though?”“The strange thing came after. As they were leaving, they met an acquaintance. Actually, she was the acquaintance of the man, through someone else.”
The store has not opened yet and Camelia’s cafe was already occupied.Camelia, Kelsey, Atty. Lincoln Wright and Aiden Whelan gathered around the table as the lawyer explained to Aiden the clauses of the contract.Before Aiden arrived, the lawyer had already explained the other contract to Kelsey to which she had already signed.Now, Aiden listened patiently. What’s important for him is to be able to afford the surgery and hospitalization of his wife. As long as his wife is alright, he can patiently wait for Kelsey to pay him back.“I want you to know that I am not chasing her solely because she is her parents’ daughter. It’s because they had signed a deal with me and told me to look for their daughter in case something happens to them before they’re able to pay me back.”Kelsey jolted in surprise. “Come again? They signed what?!&rdq
The day of the launch arrived and Lovell Technologies were welcoming guests in their spacious hall.There were showcases of products everywhere with employees promoting them.They were then led inside to what looked like an amphitheater. In front was a large screen the size of a cinema screen.The lights dimmed and the chatters died down, the logo of Lovell Technologies appeared on the screen.A person walked out and started his spiel about the system updates.One after another these speakers presented the system updates of their software.Then finally started to show the new products and their features. The audience clapped each time.At the end of their presentation, they opened the floor for inquiries and each time the employees of Lovell Technologies answered it with ease.When it was finished, everyone was free t
"Here. You can adjust the setting to see which layer you want to check. Like this, it can be used as an aide in venipuncture, that way the patients don't need to be poked too many times. Of course, we shouldn't rely on this all the time. But for special cases, this can be used to avoid further trauma on the patient.”Ava was amazed that they were able to create this.This is really what sets Lovell Technology apart from the other tech companies. They care about people’s needs and comfort.Being from a family of doctors, they would also give priority in creating new devices to aid the health care workers.They have first hand information on what patients and healthcare workers need through Forrest Hospital. They also create new devices to be able to aid the researchers at Forrest Research Institute so they can have more accurate and faster release of results.Ava has a
The next day, Ava was well rested and dressed herself in business attire when she showed up at Lovell Technologies for the interview.She looked for the room number and went there.The interview was fairly quick. She was then told that she would be called if she would be hired.In Henhall University, the gossip about Elyse hasn’t died down yet.There was no choice but to suspend her from working at Henhall University since what she did was so scandalous. It reflected badly on the reputation of the University.Meanwhile, in Doctor Gallagher’s class, the students were already sitting on their seats waiting for their name to be called.“Ashton? Halynn Ashton?”Silence.“Very well, from tomorrow onwards, Halynn Ashton is no longer enrolled under my class. Since she has not bothered to show up
These days, Tuesday was acting low-key since she found out about the leaked picture. From then on, she wouldn’t let Gunner visit her in the company. Which was made easier when he had to return abroad. Nowadays, they could only do video calls which is now becoming insufficient for Tuesday.So when she saw Morris bringing Katherine to Sterling's event, she looked at the screen in jealousy. That should have been her.‘How easy it is for you, Morris, to replace me. Do you think you can throw away the person if you felt that they made a mistake? So you want a perfect good girl huh? We’ll see if you would still think only about your new girlfriend.’&n
It seemed that Jayden was finally moved by Halynn and there was hope for their love to bloom.It was not only her who has been feeling over the moon nowadays. Her friend, Sophie may have lessened her time in clubs or in engaging bold acts with her friends, but she didn’t feel lonely. Rather than that, she has realized that she had been acting irresponsibly all these years. And perhaps, that one night with Carlos has paved the way for her to know about commitment.Their relationship may have started in a strange way but what was important for her was what he did afterwards. He didn’t treat her like a one-night stand. He didn’t treat her as if she was only a fling.Since that time, he had brought her to his wing, not letting her stray ever again. He would pick her up from her home and drop her to school and pick her up again when it ended. He would then take her to have meals with him or just to have a da
