As soon as Mei got well and was off the cast, she went back to the gym to register officially because she wanted to get closer to Ray.“Shouldn’t you rest well after taking off the cast?” he asked with a surprised tone at her sudden visitShe giggled at his expression and just pushed the form forward. “We both agreed to cheer each other’s dream on, have you forgotten that already?” “Ah.. We did say that but is your dream to be a trainee?” he dragged the words out of his mouth and she smiled“Well, that is also a dream but just so you know that this is the path to my dream” she responded and pointed for him to sign her membership form“I wish you the best on your path” he said to her, signing over the form“I will really do my best” she blushed, grabbing the paper and clutching the paper to her chest in happiness as she ran out of the officeRay tilted his head as he watched her go. “She’s so unpredictable” he muttered, adjusting his clothes.*****Stanley flew out of the country to a

I got to work the following morning as usual and after a while, I got hungry. It was then I realized that I didn’t eat dinner the last night thanks to certain someone.“I don’t think I can hold on till lunch time, I need to get myself something” I murmured to myself and went to the break room to get some coffee and biscuits but I met something shocking.The break room was so empty. Nothing was there except the utensils and equipment. Every edible things had been cleared off.“Did something happen here? Why is everywhere so empty?” I asked, looking around but no one gave me any answer to my questions.They all pretended to be so busy all of a sudden and I knew that they weren’t ready to answer so I just stopped and went back to my seat.The thought of waiting till lunch time so I could visit the cafeteria was too traumatizing because hunger was taking the best part of me but I knew I had no choice at that point so I braced myself to endure the agonizing torment of hunger.“Excuse me!”

One Saturday, after coming back from the gym, I decided to have my shower before any other thing even though I was extremely tired. The week had been quite busy and exhausting for me because of the sudden increase in so much news to deal with but I didn’t want to skip my exercise routine before I got a scolding message from Ray who was always strict and appreciated consistency.“You are finally home today, I feel like it’s been up to a month I saw you” I said to Mei who came out of her room with a loud yawnCurling into the couch, she also responded with a tired voice. “I know right. I have been here and there that we barely see and you don’t even text. Why do you never text me?” she attacked, suddenly springing up“You hate it” I answered, grabbing the jug of water“You don’t even bother to do it. You seems to love it when you don’t hear from your troublesome sister I guess” she attacked continuouslyMy eyes rolled at her words, “You certainly know that it’s not like that” I tried de

Amanda went to get some things for the other departments and overhead them discussing about how Stanley put a call through the HR and told them to fill their department’s break room to the brim with coffees and snacks of different kinds. She pretended not to care or listen but carefully tapped every of their conversations before rushing back to the office to pour them out for Tina and co.“Great news! You all wouldn’t believe what I heard from where I was coming from” she announced as soon as she came back into the office and they all gathered to have a piece of the information she brought to share.“I think the CEO was aware that we were the ones that packed up the snacks from the break room and do you know what he did next?” she startedTina cut in “What did he do?” Bea also added “Don’t tell me he….” Covering her mouth and Bea snapped her fingers at her words“That’s it! He was the one that ordered for everything that was brought in yesterday” she confessed“Wow” Bea exclaimed, he

After dropping the call, I felt weird. The gravity of what I had concluded gradually started to dawn on me and I knew I had flunked a very big opportunity. I could have asked for an interview with the chairman in exchange for taking down the article but I knew my conscience wouldn’t let me rest afterward. As if Stanley had been waiting for an opportunity to mock me, he sent for me immediately and pointed to the couch for me to have my seat, which I did with a trembling body. I knew what was to come from him and I just had to prepare myself thoroughly. “I heard you refused to take down the article” he started and my left hand found its way to the top of my right one, pinching all the fingers orderly as I tried to ease my nervousness “Ah… Yes sir. I did tell them to leave the article on our home page” I responded, my head hung low Even if I would be bracing myself up for whatever banters he would throw, looking up to see his expression and mocking face would make it worse and unbeara
