Chapter Thirty One

I sit there, frustration bubbling inside me. My GM's words replay in my head, urging me to show what I can do. It isn't just about fixing the problem Sophia caused; it's also about boosting my self-assurance and proving I can shine in my job.Looking around my office, my attention shifts to the package Nick sent. It reminds me that there are people who believe in me and my skills. With this newfound energy, I resolve not to let Sophia's negativity get to me. I have to focus on my work like never before.With that determination in mind, I leave work for the day. "Phew, what a long day at work," I say as I step inside my cozy apartment. I kick off my shoes and let out a sigh of relief."Yeah, sorry about your crazy workload," Ava replies.I change into my comfiest clothes—a pair of loose joggers and a big sweatshirt. The soft music in the background is soothing. "I'm just glad to be home."The aroma of my favorite herbal tea wafts from the kitchen. "Ah, my favorite tea," I say, smiling.

Chapter Thirty Two

"Sophia would never do that," I vocalize my thoughts. Pondering the possibility further, I ask Amelia, "Do you think Sophia could be the source behind all this?"Amelia pauses, her face thoughtful as she considers my question. "You know, given your history with Sophia and how she's been trying to undermine you lately, it's not completely impossible. But we shouldn't jump to conclusions without strong evidence."I nod, understanding the need to be careful. "You're right. Emotions shouldn't cloud my judgment."A reassuring squeeze on my shoulder from Amelia makes me feel supported. "Don't worry, Harper. We'll dig deep and find out who's truly behind this leak."Her encouragement means a lot to me. "Thank you, Amelia. I can't let this situation get worse. I need to clear my name."The thought of Sophia being involved is unsettling, but having Amelia's assistance gives me confidence. We'll work together to uncover the truth and make sure justice prevails.Then suddenly, Sophia walks into t

Recent events have made things chaotic, but the change in environment gives me a chance to start fresh.I can't stop worrying about the scandal hanging over our shipping company.

Chapter Thirty Four

I sit there, feeling the weight of our conversation pressing down on me. It is obvious that my honesty has hurt Chloe, and a hint of guilt washes over me. Even though I wanted to figure out my feelings for Harper, I hadn't expected it to affect Chloe this way.With a growing sense of urgency, I take out my phone and call the GM's number. My heart races with impatience as the phone rings. Finally, after three rings, someone answers."Hello?" Ms. Rodriguez's voice comes from the other end."Good day, Ms. Rodriguez," I say respectfully."Ah, Josh, how can I assist you?"I take a deep breath, wanting to show that I care without being too strong about it. "I wanted to talk about how things are going with the investigation."There is a short pause, and it feels like she is thinking about what to say. "I'm glad you're concerned, Josh. We're still working on the investigation, trying hard to gather all the information we need.""I get that, but because this is affecting the company a lot, I th

Even though he's been nice and giving me attention, I didn't feel that special connection between us. While I was with Nick, my mind kept wandering to Josh. It's strange how he affects me.

Amelia's eyes sparkle Kate's encouraging smile lets me know that I am in a safe space. Opening up like this feels liberating, and I am grateful for their understanding "You know what, girls, I've been in a situation where I had to wait for two whole years. And now that I've been single for a few months, I'm not sure if this is the best time to start something new. But then I wonder, does the timing matter if I find the right person? Shouldn't my happiness be the most important thing?"I look at them, my friends and ask "What if Josh is the right person for me?" Amelia and Kate share a look that says they understand each other without needing words."Harper, you're right. Timing can be tricky, but if someone makes you truly happy, that's what counts most. Sometimes, we can't know when the right person will show up." Kate said.Amelia agrees with a nod. "Remember, Harper, you deserve to be happy. If Josh makes you feel excited and curious, maybe it's worth finding out more."Their words

Josh smiles mischievously and says, "I wanted to try your comfy chair for a change. No more 'sir,' huh? I noticed how you were addressing me as 'sir' in Ms. Rodriguez's office. It's sweet that you're showing me respect because of her.""Well, it's just a habit," I reply casually. "So, where are we with our previous discussion? And can I have my chair back?"Josh leans back in my chair, his playful grin still intact. "So, you want your chair back, huh?

"Nick, I don't think we are on the same page. Don't get me wrong, I am fond of you, but I don't see us in that space.”"Oh, that's alright. See you around," he said casually and left me there. He got back into his car, while his driver drove off."I walked back to the office and explained what had happened to Amelia.'I feel bad, but I don't like him like that,' I said to Amelia.'Don't feel bad since you don't like him like you like Josh,' she wiggled her brows.'Oh shut up, what has Josh got to do with this?' 'Everything, my dear,' she said, rolling her eyes.'Am I a bad person?' “No, not at all.”'Well, he brought food,' I said.'You should have said that before starting all this pity party sermon.’'Foodie,' I said to her playfully.""I'm happy I let my feelings known to Nick so he doesn't get the wrong impression that we are already dating, and more so, I don't see myself with him.
