Hazel The loud beats of music was blaring from every direction. Thumping loudly with the beats. Men are drinking, strippers are dancing, others are doing nothing. Just sipping their drinks. The room was filled with people. My eyes scanned the surroundings immediately I set my foot inside. Even before I found my way inside, I felt my blood pumping. If I want I can equally turn back and leave. Yet, something was pulling me back. I needed to enjoy my day. I needed the drink, the dance to cool off my mind from everything. There's no going back. I ventured my way inside, marching towards the counter and grabbed the empty stool. "Welcome Miss. What would you like to have? We have different drinks from-" "I want a strong one" I cut him off before he could complete his statement. "Okay Miss" The bartender ushered back, turning to get me the said drinks. I fished out my phone and began surfing through my social media account. A message popped in. Where the hell are you!! Something was i

Hazel A yawn escaped me as I stretched my body getting off the bed. I immediately trekked to the bathroom to take a shower. Normally, I take my time in showering which is why I stick to waking up as early as possible. I prefer to be at work first before anyone else. Including my boss. "Shit!" Reality slapped me across the face when I remembered I'm no longer working anymore. All the events that transpired replayed in my head. I know I've displayed my job at stake just to expose his dirty little acts. And I don't regret doing that. He deserve more than the humiliation. Since he's not ashamed to be sleeping with women however he like and harassing his employees because he cannot keep his desires at bay. Someone needs to teach him a good lesson. And I'm proud I was able to do that. I discarded the outfit I planned to wear to work and went for a simple denim jeans and a white crop top normal for an ex-worker like me. I tied my hair in a bun and sauntered my way to the kitchen. I live i

HazelA thick silence fell in the room as we sent daggers to each other. I wasn't ready to back off. Damon was the first to avert his eyes. Nevertheless, got me off guard when I felt his hand engulfing my waist. He yanked me forward and my palms immediately landed on his chest. My eyes went wide not at his actions but at the way my chest almost ripped apart due to the heat I felt radiating off my body. Sending me into flames of something I don't want to feel. Something dangerous. He began leaning over at the same time, the beating of my heart went twice their normal form. It was as if I was being controlled. I couldn't make an action. I stood there as the space kept getting smaller. Unknowingly, I clutched his shirt tightly when his eyes fixed on my lips. Something burned me in. I've forgotten when last I go aroused. The last time was at the club three years ago when I kissed a total stranger which I'm not able to remember what happened afterward. I woke up in my bed the next morning

HazelIt took me some time to register what was happening and when it did, I pushed him off me ready to lunge a slap on his face only my hand to be halted midair by him. The smirk that was once on his face wasn’t there. It was replaced by anger. And I couldn’t discard the shiver that ran down my spine. At that moment, I knew if I land the slap on his face, I wouldn’t only regret it, I would be left to pay more than the debt I have. Because the look in her eyes was dangerous. It showed no mercy.“You have made a mistake of slapping me once. You won’t get the privileged of repeating that” My eyes went wide open when he tighten his hold on my wrist. I winced in pain.I know my mouth will put me in trouble one day. Even with the situation I was in, my mouth wouldn’t keep shut. “If you don’t want to be washed with another embarrassment why the hell did you kiss me then?” I spitted throwing him daggers. Though my legs were almost shaking but my pride comes first before my fears.He released

HazelWe chatted for a while going from one topic to another. My girls knows the hook and nooks when it comes to gist. Layla wouldn't stop talking about Damon making me to hate him more than before. The world doesn't revolve around him. There are lot of hot men in New York City. He's feeling too prideful of himself. I took out my phone that was vibrating as I searched for my apartment key from my bag. "Who the hell is calling me now?" I hissed. I unlocked the door first before giving my attention to my phone. "Shit!" I muttered seeing who the caller id was. Month will end in the next two days. So, it's normal for my Dad to start calling. I ignored the call because I have nothing to say to him at the moment. I haven't received my monthly pay too. And with the things happening at the company, I don't know whether I would be paid. I dropped the phone on the couch and trekked to my two sitter dining chair pouring water on the glass cup. Another hiss left my lips making me to almost choke

HazelWe were seated in the conference room as Mr. Kane explains the situation. The block shares was stacked at 50% while the main shares keeps skyrocketing. “From our research, there’s a chip. Someone is trying to sell out our information” I knew something is fishy. The last time something happened was when I started working newly at the company. I had no idea how things work back then. But now I’ve reached a stage that I come to know a lot of things about the company.“They used the current situation to drop the bomb” Damon said for the first time since the meeting began. He’s right they used the situation to their advantage.“The first thing to do is to find the chip before they do more damage” Damon asserted again. “You’re right Sir” I was in deep thought when the two turn to stare at me. “Are you listening to what we’re saying?” Mr. Kane uttered. The light from the projector reflecting on his face. You can see the distressed look on Mr. Damon’s face.“As for me I think the most

Hazel"Congratulation on your promotion boss" Nikki, the new intern said throwing her arms around me."Thank you Nikki" I patted her back. She pulled apart but still holding my wrist. "This calls for a celebration Ma'am""Congratulation Hazel" Our chief send her warm smile. "Thank you Mrs. Rachel" Another set of clapping follows. To say I was expecting all the warm gesture will be an understatement."You have to take us out for dinner" She said. I wish I would be able to. But I've already made plans with my girls."I will. But that will be another day. I have plans for today" I said forming my lips into a thin line."You have plan with the man?" She asked jokingly. She knew I have no man yet, she's teasing me."No. With friends" I replied. And I'm not ashamed of saying that. I prefer to keep my personal life separate from my career."All the best then" I trekked my way towards my desk. Everything was neatly rested on their position. The company brochure, the sticky notes I keep tabs w

Hazel"What is it about?" He said after he's done giving me that weird look of his. "I will talk only when you're ready to listen" I asserted taking my seat on the visitor's seat. My back was facing him. "Why do you like meddling in matters that doesn't concern you Miss Dalen?"Meddling in matters that doesn't concern me? Just because I'm trying to help his company. I swirled the seat over. The way I will be facing him putting on a smiley face. "Let's say I'm born with that. It's in my blood to meddle in matters that doesn't concern me. But then, I want you to know this. Any matter I meddle in this company, I'm doing it for the sake of my job. Because that's what I'm getting paid for" His chuckle followed immediately clapping his hands on the accord. "Wow Miss Dalen, I'm impressed by your weird-like personality. I must say my father did got a righteous employee this time around" I didn't miss the glint in his eyes. "I'm glad you are. So can we start?" I somehow want to finish what

HazelThe moment I stepped out of the taxi, I know I will be doomed. The girls will have a discussion for the night. My brow creased when I found the place quite and the sign was showing closed. “Am I at the correct place?” I said to no one in particular checking my phone. It is the correct address but why is the place locked. I dailed Kylie’s number. “Hey, where are you guys. The restaurant is locked” Some part of me was scared. What if they got angry and left. Tired of waiting for me. “Did you open the door and find it locked?” Came through her question. “No. I didn't”“Then do so” She said much like commanded. I marched my way forward my heels making the sound they were supposed to. I don't even know why I wore the heels. I should've worn something light. Just the way I went for a simple denim jeans and top topping it up with jacket. I was surprised when I pushed the door and it went on like a bolt. Not that I put in too much force on it. The lights were off. I just hope the gi

HazelThe very first thing that woke me up in the morning was the loud beats of my phone. That's a sign to show how complicated my day will be. I had to put on my best state of calmness to talk to my father. That he should not worry. The money will be sent before the end of the day. And I also told them about my promotion. They all wish me well and of course more money. I heated the cake and ate it as breakfast. I was feeling too lazy to cook anything. And besides, I need to do grocery shopping. My refrigerator is almost as good as nothing. I embark on my way to work.I bumped into Mr. Kane in the elevator like yesterday. He flashed me one of his signature smile. "Good morning Miss Dalen" He profound with yet another smile. "Good morning Mr. Kane. Hope you had a great night" As the words left my lips, it sounded somehow. Like asking whether his night was great. He might think I mean it in a sexual way. Which isn't so in my case. Nevertheless, he answered me. "Yes I did. Hope it was
