"No, no,, not again.” Laura ! uttered beneath her breath on the sudden realization that she forgot the file she had to work on tonight. Anger reeled into her seeing she had asked Vincent, the staff in charge, to watch for her, but both were half-hearted and forgot it. She left it sitting carelessly against the shelf where Stone could get access, just as easily. “Mommy?" he said to his mother while he climbed into the back seat. It was twenty-nine minutes past five, and Laura knew she had better hurry, and the office would be locked in a matter of mere minutes.“Good evening. How was school today?” Laura asked, hating on her mistake the most. She planned out the entire thing in her mind before leaving; it was a one-way thing. She decided to pick Andrew up from school sewing; she had a few hours to save for herself. She hoped that they had a little bit of chat before she got submerged in work once again, but she had been wrong. It was always one thing or another.“I'll have to drive

DUSTIN'S POV.“He's asleep already.” laura explained while she made her way out of the room that I had arranged for Andrew“Common, what's up with the both of you? What's the long face for? Winter-like, friends? And aren't we here to have some fun?'' Emily chirped in before picking up a triangle of pizza and chomping on it like the always bright and energetic lady she was.“She's right, I'm sorry for this tension; I just don't know if moving him around is safe yet; I mean, he needs rest and...”“And what again, laura ?" Emily imquited, cutting into her words with such great delight,“I know he needs rest, and you've been coupled up into the room for two whole days, laura , you need some. Besides, this isn't loud; it's just us having a little housewarming party for Dustin. We won't be throwing a crawl party, mam, just us three, some food and a movie, that's all. Maybe a couple of drinks, but you deserve it. We talked about this, remember? I see no reason why beating yourself up now wo

“Get away from me, you creep!” Emily screamed as soon as she pushed her eyes open. A sudden heavy migraine attacked her as soon as she had spoken, and just then did she realize how much alcohol she had drank the previous night. Dustin, on the other hand, split his eyes slowly, rubbing slowly on his orbs, trying to recall the compelling situation he found himself in. He recalled drinking a little the previous night, and then the new cycle followed up; they had a few more drinks with laura , yet as soon as laura made her way out of the house, she realized what a great deal of fun they were having and then drank some more. Then, after three asn, he had not stopped. He won't necessarily be expected in the office. Although he knows things might get awkward between him and laura , which is why he lied about having a thing or two to do, I was hoping that eventually, if she came to push, the entire thing would be off their shoulders. He took a quick glance around, his mind laced wi

laura s point of viewI shifted in my seat, my eyes pinned against the file placed in front of me, while I stuck up the ends of the pen into my teeth. I had been pondering the whole day on how to thank Sebastian ; he had been nice enough, and I had sent him off in a rather hasty manner the previous day, which probably registered me as nothing better than a weirdo to the public as a whole, although I knew I needed to make certain amendments.“laura ?.” a voice called, drawing me out of whatever fancy land I had been drawn into.“Yes, how may I help you, please?. '' he asked with a smile settled on my face as I responded to the young man who stood before me. He worked with Sebastian , so I knew almost immediately that it was related to him already.“Mr. Sebastian had asked for you, so I think it's in your best interest that you check with him right now; it seemed urgent.” He added at the end of his words and turned down his feet even before I got a chance to respond.I stood to my fee

CLAIRE's POV.A knock settled on my door and a frown was quick to etch onto my face while I pondered hard and fast about who it could be, I had been tucked up in the fucking room doing nothing at all along, every damn day it was the same.The knock became persistent, and I pushed my feet reluctantly towards the dash cam. I had not been expecting anyone's texts or calls; or bits so far, I wasn't involved in the neighborhood or building as a whole; it was something that anyone had to do or say but not from my end. Besides, I had no friends, and no one knew I moved here except……“Henry ?” I asked while I pushed open the door.. He seemed to be pissed and restless while he pushed himself right through my door before settling into the couch.He had said nothing while I bolted the door locked, my eyes scanning across the room, which was in a terrible state.. I had not expected any visitor to come in by any means. I was not informed.“You didn't call..” I stuttered, seemingly surprised..
