One way to counteract depression is to get involved not with someone else, but with something else. Sometimes, pursuing our passion is a way to bring us joy and hope again. Sebastian averted his gaze and sat on the edge of Dionysus' table. "You're really being an idiot lately, Dionysus. I believe everything happens for a reason. Do you think you and Zoey would meet in the first place if you're not the C.E.O. of this company? She would have applied for another company but she still ended up here. She could've ended up meeting another man through that dating app but still, you and her crossed paths again. And, what about that restaurant while you're having a blind date? See how lucky you are to finally meet your soulmate? But, you let her go, just like that. If you can't stay with her in your darkest times, you don't deserve to be with her, at all." Dionysus faced Sebastian with curious eyes. "Why do you sound like you're going to court her and anything and like you're going to steal
We all know that In this stage of grieving, we start to feel the loss of our loved one more abundantly. Our panic begins to subside, the emotional fog begins to clear, and the loss feels more present and unavoidable.A month later. . "That's it? That is the best you can come up with? That's your fucking fourth revision, Mr. Ismael? I don't pay all of you just to slack around!" Dionysus' thunderous voice echoed at the four corners of the grandiose meeting room of the Chevalier tower. Everyone in the marketing team flinched with so much fear and bowed their heads in unison, trembling and not even wanting to stare at Dionysus' menacing eyes. "What? Don't you have something to say?" "I'm so-sorry, Mr. Chevalier. We're. . we're going to revise it again." Ismael, the head of the marketing team, murmured in a small voice. "If you can just tell us exactly what we really need to revise and. ." "Are you bloody telling me to do your job for you instead? That is your fucking job, right? I can'
The fifth and final stage of grief where we can finally be able to accept the reality of what happened. And, during this stage we finally tend to accept how this loss has changed our lives and we will eventually stop wishing for everything to go back to how it used to be, for the better. Three and a half months later. ."Will you stop pacing around, Zam? You're literally making my head spin." Zara complained in a loud voice, her arms crossed against her chest while looking up at her youngest sister walking back and forth in front of her."Ohh, right. Sorry, princess. I'm just fucking nervous. It's been ten minutes already and we still don't have any orders coming in online. No one is also coming to check out our first opening day." Zamantha groaned with so much disappointment laced in her eyes.Zoey only smiled at that, she was sitting on the counter of their newly opened boutique while sipping a hot cup of chocolate milk, with lots of marshmallows. Zoey looked above on the opposite
They say acceptance often occurs later in the grieving process, so it was considered the hardest stage of grief simply because it requires fully accepting that a loved one is really gone. It is not that we no longer feel the pain of loss. Instead, we are no longer resisting the reality of our situation, and we are not struggling to make it something different. More than a year later. . Sebastian rubbed his hands against each other but the coldness of the morning air still creeped inside his body. He was even wearing winter gloves but it can only warm him if his hands are inside his coat's pocket. Sebastian hissed when he suddenly noticed that he was so behind from following his boss. "Boss, wait for me!" Dionysus stopped walking just to wait for Sebastian. "Would you please walk faster? We still have a meeting before the actual meeting for the Californian investors. So, hurry up." "Why work so hard for the past months like a madman when you're already a fucking triollionaire? I
Whatever someone has done to us, is going to be attracted back to them at some point. We are not involved in this process anymore. It's a simple 'Law of Attraction'. Their bad deeds, their freaking lessons for life. "My treat, for today. Yey." Zoey came back with a tray full of food. There were two cups of coffee for Dionysus and Sebastian, a cup of mint tea for her and three slices of tiramisu cake for the three of them. "Your coffee, gentlemen. Just how I remembered them from before." Zoey muttered in a singsong voice while putting down the cups of coffee in front of Dionysus and Sebastian.Zoey feels so proud of herself to finally be able to treat Dionysus and Sebastian with her own money. After all, she doesn't really have any friends. The two gentlemen in front of her were the nearest to that category for her. "Your treat because you're successful now?" Sebastian teased as he helped Zoey to serve the cakes this time around. Zoey laughed before sitting down again. "That and bec
Courting a girl 101 guide: Drive her around. "See, boss? Zoey is safe and sound." Sebastian uttered as soon as he sat beside Dionysus on the couch, placed on the farthest corner of that hotel's waiting lounge. "Hang on. This is one of your five star hotels, right?" Dionysus sighed and blew a deep breath while watching how Zoey laughed and conversed with a lady near her age, in a table a few feet away from them. "She had laughed so much when she was with us a while ago, yet she can still laugh like that with other people. She's an introvert like me, remember?" Sebastian shook his head. "That's got nothing to do with her being an introvert, boss. Zoey can laugh as much as she can because she's happy." Sebastian's phone chimed again, but this time, it was one of the department heads who was tasked to supervise their meeting for that day. "Dio, I think we should really be going now." "Cancel it." Sebastian was too stunned and had to ask his boss again. "I said, cancel the meeting." "
Courting a girl 101 guide number two: Steal her mother's heart. Zoey bit her lower lip after she slid herself onto the passenger's seat. It was even Dionysus who closed the door beside Zoey. Zoey started fidgeting as she watched Dionysus walk back to the other side.Her husband looked so drop dead gorgeous in all regards. Everything about Dionysus was hollering absolute danger for her already healed heart. Sure, she managed to drag herself out of the quicksand that she fell into right after Dionysus parted ways with her.She managed to cure herself all the way because of her family and her faith in God. But, that doesn't mean she had absolutely made herself be immune to her husband's charms. Even the way Dionysus' eyelashes flutter with his every blink was enough to make Zoey swoon internally.Pinching and playing with the hem of her dress, Zoey slapped her cheek. "Woah, Zoey. What's wrong?" Sebastian immediately asked after witnessing what Zoey just did. Zoey stared at Sebastian th
Courting a girl 101 guide number three: Show her your sincerity. "Go inside, Zoey Veera." Mrs. Zenaida Lavigne instructed in a firm voice. Zoey hesitated and looked at Dionysus. "Mom. I think Dio is just joking. Just let me talk to him for a sec and. ." "I said, go inside, sweetheart. It's already ten in the evening." Zoey sighed and even if she wanted to protest and all, she also doesn't want to upset her mother. She loves her mother so much. Once Zoey had stepped inside their house, Mrs. Zenaida Lavigne slammed their front doors shut, right in front of Dionysus' face. Sebastian, Marco and some of Dionysus' men, who were watching the scene from afar, while standing near the cars, frowned and creased their foreheads. "Uh-oh. Our boss got rejected." Sebastian whistled playfully. "Who in their right mind would refuse lord Dio like that?" Marco asked out of nowhere. "Well. For one, Dio really fucked up." Sebastian answered Marco.Dionysus walked back towards where he had left Seba
