Chapter Forty-one •BRIANNA• It was already time for the meeting, and Mr. Adrian and I made our way to the meeting room, with him walking a few feet ahead of me. I noticed staff lingering in the hallway, casting curious—and sometimes judgmental—glances in my direction, whispering their opinions about my dress. “My gosh, what on earth is she wearing?” “Does she even know the difference between work clothes and other outfits?” “The dress is too big on her.” “Well… it doesn’t look that bad on her, actually.” The comments didn’t bother me. Let them talk—it wouldn’t take money out of my account (not that there’s much in there anyway). I’d turned a deaf ear to opinions like these ages ago. Mr. Adrian stepped into the meeting room, and I followed behind him. This time, I felt no nervousness, unlike the first time I’d been in here. I’d gotten over that initial anxiety. The people in the room rose to acknowledge Mr. Adrian’s presence. He nodded, took his seat at the head of the table, a

Chapter Forty-two | SAME DAY, LUNCH TIME | •BRIANNA• After wrapping up a pile of files Mr. Adrian had handed me, a yawn escaped my mouth, and right on cue, my stomach grumbled loudly. I patted it, murmuring with a playful grin, “Don’t worry, dear stomach. Food’s on the way.” The scene must’ve looked ridiculous—me, standing alone in an empty office, talking to my own stomach. I laughed, shaking my head. “Is it lunchtime yet?” I wondered aloud. Glancing at the wall clock, I saw that I was already five minutes behind. Gathering up the files, I made my way to Mr. Adrian’s office. I knocked, and he called out for me to come in. He wasn’t at his desk when I entered. Instead, he was standing by one of the massive glass walls, looking down at the city below. Something about the way he stared into the distance made him look pensive, as though the world outside held answers he couldn’t reach. “I’m here to submit the files you asked for, sir,” I said, breaking the silence. “You’re done wit

Chapter Forty-three |SAME DAY, CLOSING HOURS| •BRIANNA• It was well past 7 p.m. when I finally left the building, and the sun had long set. The night was dark, but the streetlights painted the world in pools of golden light. The usual hum of traffic mixed with the distant chatter of pedestrians, a sound I was all too familiar with by now. I’d just started down the street toward the bus stop when a sleek black car pulled up beside me. For a moment, I thought nothing of it, assuming it was just another passerby. But the back window rolled down, revealing Mr. Adrian, looking every bit the intimidating figure he always did in his perfectly tailored suit. “Get in,” he ordered. “No, thank you,” I replied, trying to keep my pace as I kept walking. “That’s a command, not a request,” he insisted, his tone all business, no room for argument. “Thanks, but no thanks. I’d rather catch the bus,” I said, now walking a bit faster, hoping he’d get the hint. Just as I was about to ignore him com

Chapter Forty-four •BRIANNA• “I lost my job at the restaurant.” Cherry dropped the bombshell, and I stared at her in surprise, trying to process what she just said. “What did you just say?” I asked, still struggling to absorb the words. “I said I lost my job at the restaurant.” She repeated, a sad smile playing on her lips. “How did that happen? When did it happen?” I asked, eager to understand the situation. “I didn’t do anything offensive, I swear. I was just 20 minutes late because my aunt delayed me—I was helping her with something. And not to mention the traffic jam I got stuck in. Mrs. Williams said something about the owner telling her to fire me the next time I came late, and I guess today was just not my lucky day.” She explained, trying to smile but failing miserably. My mind went to Mr. Adrian when she mentioned the owner of the restaurant. I couldn’t blame Mrs. Williams for firing her; it was all Mr. Adrian’s fault. “I’m so sorry, babe. I wouldn’t blame Mrs. Williams

Chapter Forty-five •BRIANNA• “It’s me, Carlos—the guy who gave you a ride to an estate the other day,” the guy said. “Which day was that?” I asked, trying to remember when he had given me a ride. “I don’t really remember the day, but you said it was your boss who sent you on an errand, and the sun was scorching that very day,” he explained. I thought back to that day and remembered. How could I have forgotten so fast? “Oh! Carlos, I’m sorry for not remembering you. Foolish me,” I said apologetically. “It’s fine. There must have been a lot on your mind,” he replied. “How have you been?” “I’ve been doing great, thanks for asking. What about you?” I said, then asked. “I’ve been doing well, too. Is Adrian still acting like the jerk he is? Is he sending you on stupid errands? Has he changed?” he asked all at once. “Hey, calm down!” I chuckled before replying to his questions. “Yes, Mr. Adrian is still being a jerk. No, he’s not sending me on stupid errands. And no, he hasn’t change

Chapter Forty-six •CHERRY• I woke up very early this morning, determined to get everything right. The interview today was a big deal, and I couldn’t afford to mess it up. I made sure I did all the necessary things: freshened up, prepared breakfast, and even organized myself the night before. After I took a quick shower, I returned to my room and put on my undergarments—panties and bra—and then reached for my clothes. I had chosen a simple yet professional look: a white, fitted button-down short-sleeve shirt paired with a black, on-the-knee frill peplum skirt. I wasn’t going to overdo it with accessories or makeup, but I still wanted to look polished. My hair went into a quick ponytail—no time for styling it today. A light touch of lip gloss, powder, and mascara, and I was good to go. I grabbed a pair of cutout heels from my shoe rack, ones that had been sitting there for a while, just waiting for the right moment. Today was that moment. I slipped them on, feeling a bit of excitemen

Chapter Forty-seven |ROYAL GATE HIGH SCHOOL| |LUNCH TIME| •MARIANA• I walked into the cafeteria with Vanessa, and the rest of our friends were already seated. We’d come late because our chemistry teacher thought it would be a great idea to take a few extra minutes from lunch for more teaching. Of course, all I could think about during that time was the food I was missing out on. We went straight to the counter to grab our food before heading to our usual table. It had become our favorite spot to eat, and today was no different. Vanessa and I sat down and dug into our food, barely acknowledging the others at the table. But I could feel their eyes on me, like lasers burning into the back of my head. “What?” I asked loudly, my words muffled by the food stuffed in my mouth. I knew it probably came out funny, but I didn’t care. “Slow down with the food, or you’ll choke,” Damien said, his voice filled with concern, and that’s when I realized I might’ve been eating too fast. “Thanks,”

Chapter Forty-eight •MARIANA• “Tyler is the one behind all of this.” Stanley spoke up, and loud gasps rang out throughout the cafeteria. Even I was shocked that he mentioned Tyler’s name. “I’m the one behind this?!” Tyler exclaimed loudly, disbelief evident in his voice and expression. “Really? Tyler is the one behind this?” Principal Raymond asked, gesturing at the cafeteria, which was covered in all sorts of foods. Surely, Tyler hadn’t done something like this before. “Yes, Sir, Tyler is the one,” Stanley nodded. “But Sir! This stinky girl here, Mariana, was the first person to dump a plate of spaghetti and sauce on me! Have you seen me?” Tyler pointed at his head and clothes. “You’re the one behind this?” Principal Raymond turned his accusing glare toward me, and I squirmed under the weight of his stare. “Erm… huh…” I stuttered, not quite sure how to respond to his scary glare focused on me. “Answer me with well-formed words!” He barked, making me jump in fright. “Sir, it’

Chapter Forty-nine •MARIANA• “Mariana!” “Mariana!” A voice cut through my sleep, making me groggily mumble something incomprehensible. As I turned my head, I was almost back to sleep when the voice shook me again. “Mariana! Wake up!” The voice was louder this time, and I slowly opened my eyes to see Tyler standing there. “What happened?” I asked, lifting my head from the table and rubbing my eyes. “You fell asleep, and it’s already really late. Everyone’s gone home. The students have served their detention and left.” He explained. “Oh, shit!” I sprang up at that, wincing as pain shot through my knee. For a moment, I’d forgotten about the bruise. “Why didn’t you wake me?” I asked, ignoring the pain as we walked out of the cafeteria together. “You looked really tired and seemed to be enjoying your nap,” he said nonchalantly. “Acting like a gentleman, huh?” I teased. “Fuck being a gentleman,” he rolled his eyes. “I was just feeling a little sorry for you.” “Sure, whatever you

Chapter Fifty •BRIANNA• “Brianna, report to my office immediately,” Mr. Adrian’s voice blared through the intercom, cutting through the silence like a sharp knife. No greetings, just an order. What else did I expect? I stood up reluctantly, the last thing I wanted to do today was move, let alone work. But, work doesn’t stop for anyone. I dragged myself to his office and walked in without bothering to knock. “Good morning, sir,” I greeted grumpily, my voice dripping with annoyance. “Good morning, Brianna,” he replied coolly. “Take a seat.” He gestured toward the chairs in front of his desk. I hesitated but sat down. I wondered if I was safe for the moment. If he tried anything funny, I’d scream loud enough for the whole building to hear, even if it cost me my voice. “So, is there something wrong, sir?” I asked when the silence stretched out uncomfortably. “I have something to ask of you, but let’s start with this.” He reached into his drawer and pulled out an envelope. “This is
