1. GOING

PETAL’S POVThe city of Lisbon never changes when it comes to the rainy season, its beauty lies in the streams of golden light lines coming from the car lamps that decorate the fine street as cars honk by and trail on the wide street late at night when workers return from their various offices.This evening was still the same, maybe a little shinier but something was in common, the beauty.My right hand found its way out of my long grey coat as I flagged down a taxi“Rua Cor de Rosa” I muttered, loud enough for the driver to hear.A click of the lock signified that I was qualified to enter but the strange appearance of the driver made me hesitate a bit. His beards although well-trimmed was too much for someone who has lived long enough in Lisbon since majority of the men loves to keep it short.A short glance at his face, down to his opened chest region, back to his face hinted him that I was indeed judging his appearance.He was forced to ask “Is there something wrong?” “Not at all”

2. BEATS ME

There were no lies I didn’t try telling that night, but none of them worked. These sneaky bitches knew what they were doing when they asked me about my plans previously before I came around to visit them.The foolish me, oblivious to their plans, had blabbered about how I had nothing in my plans for the weekend since I got fired from my job a few days ago.That was another story I didn’t want to remember. I worked my butt off for this company only for them to drop me like a hot potato in the name of restructuring. I felt so betrayed and ripped, but what else could I do?Cry all I want, wipe them off and look for another one, of course.“Can I not just go?” I pouted, trying to bribe them, but they shook their heads in unison.Irene crossed her arms to her chest tightly, “Petals, there is no way you can escape this” she declared.I sulked.“What if I run into him? I have been trying all my best to avoid crossing his path and you both know that. You shouldn’t be pushing me”, I argued.Mo

3. TAKING THE OFFER

Everyone rushed to welcome the man of the day, he indeed came to steal the show. No one needed to inform us that he was in another class, the outfit he had on and everything on him was of the elite class.“Why is he here?” Monica rushed to us, heels cackling on the tiles.Sharply, I responded “Exactly my question.”His entrance was of respect to everyone there but it threw us into frenzy mode.“Should I just go out before he recognizes me? How about I leave the party altogether?” I panicked, trying to figure out the best option.Suddenly, Irene’s palms were glued to my cheeks as she turned my face to hers and declared“You are going nowhere! You have to face this once and for all.”Thick wads of spit rolled down my throat, my hands were filled with sweat every passing seconds.“What should I do?” that was the only question passing through my mind. It went totally blank.The problem of job introduction stopped and that was a relief on another part, but his presence was the biggest probl

4. I WANT YOU

Everything in the large suite screamed luxury from the sofa to the curtain, down to the smallest cup. It was as if everything was made for a royal member who must have paid a fortune to have them gotten for his own special use.As if he was reading my mind, he bragged loudly as he walked towards the sofa. “This is the only suite on the topmost floor and it was built for me only.” I sneered. “Must be nice to be rich”, rolling my eyes as I stood afar.He came back from the bedside with two glasses and a wine which he placed on the table before beckoning me.“Are you going to stay there all night?” What does he mean by all night? I am only here to accept the offer, so why is he bringing out wines and glasses?“All night?” I summoned the courage to ask, clasping my fingers in front of my short gown.“You were planning to inform me that you would accept the offer and then rush out?” I almost nodded at his words but quickly realized that would not be the best option, it would be better n

5. A PREY

I was puzzled as to why he wanted to see me in his office at first so I stood there pinching my fingers against each other until a tap sound coming from a pen jerked me back to reality. I looked up to see the bubble gum lady staring at me.“Are you not going to see him?” she threw at me and I realized that I was standing there instead of going to his officeMy right hand found its way to my hair to scratch my itchy scalp, “I’ll go now” I smiled at her but she only returned the gesture with a frown which I didn’t read much meaning into.On getting to his office, my jaw almost dropped. It was a paradise, every view was magnificent. I could see everything going on outside and even beyond the premises of the company.“Wow” I found myself exclaim as I marched in to his table where he leant on the table with his back turned to me.I stood in front of his table for close to three minutes, contemplating if I should announce my presence or not and he also didn’t budge or say anything, only hi

6. FREAK OUT

Whoever the person that went out of the door was, I knew not but the chance of the person hearing the conversation between I and Stanley was high. It wouldn’t do me any good to have this kind of rumor spread in the office so I prayed a little prayer that the person would never hear of what we discussed. He left me at the office to deal with my work that he instructed to be on his table by seven in the morning the next day. “How can my first day in office be this hectic? Is this how I will continue?” I murmured to myself, sitting in front of my computer to start my work. The loud ticking of the clock made me realize how silent the whole building had become. I was the only one in the office as I worked away, accompanied with the clicking sounds of the keyboard. Finally, I got my work done some minutes to five in the morning and printed them out, submitted it and went to the employee’s break room to have some rest before everyone troops in only to sleep off totally. The sun was alread

7. HER BESIDE ME

STANLEY’S POV Even though I and Petals had our story, I didn’t just hire her because I felt bad for her or wanted to bully her. I have been following all her steps up for years and knew almost everything about her even though she was not aware of all that. I saw all her articles online, watched her news and saw everything she was doing so I knew she was talented no doubt and wanted to bring her on board. Immediately I heard that she was fired from her former job through a friend, I made a move to recruit her and planned it well. On getting to the hotel that very night of the reunion, I was tired as hell but I jumped at the opportunity that she was present after receiving a tip from one of the people present at the reunion. “I will be attending the reunion downstairs, prepare my clothes and everything I would need to look good. I also want to get my hair done so send someone over” I instructed and in minutes, I was dressed up for the party. Thankfully, my plan worked out and she a

8. TROUBLEMAKER

PETALS’ POVI didn’t know why the gym instructor decided to be my curse mate but I was glad that at least, I would have someone who can badmouth that spoilt rich brat with me. I didn’t notice how late it was until I got home and decided to cook something since I didn’t eat all day. After having a great sleep all weekend and studying like crazy, I resumed work the following week with my head high. I decided to reintroduce myself and also get to know my team members because if I would be the team leader then I need the cooperation of my coworkers.I had gotten to the office before most of them and prepared everything I would be saying but as soon as I saw them coming in and giggling with Tina, I knew there would be a problem.“Good morning everyone, I am sorry for not being able to introduce myself properly. I am Team leader Petals Ruy. I look forward to working with you and also we will be having a team meeting in the next two hours so please prepare ahead” I announced and waited for

9. DECEIVED

On getting to Irene’s house, every table was filled with different types of alcohol which I know would be consumed throughout the night. My friends were alcohol monsters so it was not new.“I almost thought you wouldn’t come anymore” Irene pouted when I showed up at her door with my small bagsI only smiled weakly in return, “I had something to attend to. I wouldn’t ditch a party that would make me feel relieved”With a nod and small hug, she ushered me in and noticed that I was limping a bit as I was walking.“Hey Petals, what’s wrong? Did you get hurt?” she gasped, rushing to my side.“I collided with an equipment at the gym. It’s nothing much so it will go away soon” I answered with a chuckle, trying to put her at easeEven though I insisted that I was fine, she still called over Braden, her younger brother to have it checked for me before she could ease her mind.“Thank you” I muttered before Monica joined us.She had been stuck in the traffic for quite a while and the way she rus

10. THE PAST

STANLEY’S POVI arrived late at the usual joint and thought the welcome party would have started but I met Tina, Amanda and Bea alone having fun. I first thought Petals went out briefly but when I didn’t see her in the next few minutes, I was forced to ask for her.“Did she not come?” I asked, looking around the restaurant“I did gave her the address, I don’t know why she’s not here” Tina lied blatantly and Bea was forced to react to her shamelessness“Try calling her then, she might not be able to find her way” I suggested but the three of them only exchanged glancesI sighed.“Don’t tell me none of you have her contact” I continued and they all slowly shook their head to my surpriseI slowly fished out my phone to dial her number but she didn’t pick up no matter how hard I tried so I was forced to get up and leave their midst.“I’ll check her up at the office. You can have your fun, I will pay at the counter” I declared and ran out of the restaurant to look for her.***As soon as S
