All Chapters of One In A Million: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

  We are in a hurry as the elevator doors ping open, but no matter how in hurry we are, the sanitizing area is agonizingly slow. Once we're done with the sanitizing, we peel off our personal protective gears and rush to the double doors of the board room.  Opening it, my hurt thumps as I know that the attention of the people inside will be turned to us, and I was right. All heads turn in our direction when I open the door wide enough for me and Georgina. Their strict eyes make me want to turn around and just go back to my office, but Georgina pushes me inside and pulls me on the two vacant seats on the side.  I've been in the board room a couple of times, and it looks just the same as the last time I was here. There is a big screen in front, and the podium where chairman Richforte stands, broad and all authority, and the elevated high-tech steel circular tables that can accommodate up to one hundred and fifty people.

  I can't help but blush when we entered the board room and everyone inside looks in our direction. Some of them shared a knowing look, some smiled knowingly, and those young doctors who have a crush on the chairman raise their brows.  Sean walks to the platform in the middle of the room and I follow, as per his instruction on our way here. I'll be in charge of the announcement of the list. Everything is ready, as always with the help of our high-tech and advanced equipments.  Everything is in voice command and with just a word, data will flash virtually in front of everyone. Unlike before when in voice command is still not yet available for everyone, they use projectors for their presentation and to project info. They also use folders and papers to distribute copies, now, those things could be done either through virtual computers or through their IPads.  Over the years, Science and technology have been i

  Gone.  They are gone.  While the participants were on their way to the airport through the armored car, they were attacked by a group of zombies. The soldiers with them had no choice but to use their guns and shoot each one who tries to get their way, but even so, they did not manage to completely protect the doctors. They were outnumbered by the zombies, and some doctors helped with all they can to protect themselves and their co-doctors, resulting in losing their own lives in the process.  Most of them were eaten alive by the zombies. Whenever there is a doctor who was thrown out of the car because of the zombies, the zombies' attention will be averted to the doctor. And that is mainly the reason why they got rid of them.  "So in short, they sacrificed," I murmur.  "Somehow." Sean replies who's now sitting beside me, also shock by the news.

December 2, 2050 - CREF, Wolfe Creek Crater, Western Australia  The food that was served to us last night for dinner was satisfying, and today, our breakfast is also a satisfying one and will surely give us enough energy for our first day on a mission.  Our room is just spacious enough to accommodate Sean and me, and because he unexpectedly announces that I will be sleeping with him, of course, there is only one bed in the room. Nowadays, liberty is really a normal thing and is not something big deal, so of course, both of us did not mind sleeping in one bed and note that I am not wearing a bra whenever I sleep.  Currently, we are unloading things in our duffle bag and stuffing them in the closet which of course, is also one and we will use it together. The closet despite being small is enough for our clothes since we did not bring many, just a few. The room is complete with everything that we need too, like a hote

  "Besides Rosella, I've heard you say the F word for the second time now. And I swear, if I hear you say that again, I'll kiss the daylight out of you. And I will make sure you will stop fussing about the rumors."  I stop breathing and gulped several times, and then his lips quirk up and formed into a sexy smirk, leaving me breathless even more. When he leaned back, I step back and drag air in my lungs, while he has this triumphant smile on his lips. He sits on the edge of the bed and stares at me, legs and arms crossed.  "You know what, we can do something so that you won't think about the rumors anymore. It adds on the things you need to think about."  "And what do you suggest that we do?" I retort, now able to breathe properly.  "Let's make it real."  And again, my lungs stop working as I hear him say those words.  "Come again?"
