Lena and her colleague soon arrived at the hotel checked in and sluggishly walked to their rooms. Lena dropped her luggage on the floor, threw herself on the bed and held the pillow close by to her heart to calm her nerves and leg pains down,“ Such a close call!” She sighed heavily. Bumping into Jayden twice in a roll in one day was the height of it all.

Her phone suddenly beeped and she picked it up notified it's a group video call from the girls so she slid in..

“ how was your first day at work after months?” Vera asked.

“ I bet you acted clumsy!” Angela added before Lena could answer.

“ I didn't I just went with the flow.”

“ Were you comfortable?” Mabel showed her concern.

“ Yeah I was, it was cool not that stressful” Lena dragged the pillow even closer and turned over.

“ Why the look on your face? Did something happen?” Vera chipped in, curious by the look on Lena’s face with the way she answered.

“ Yes and No!” She flips her head.

“ Just go ahead and say it!”

“ Guess what?”

    Jayden nodded a soft smile on his lips. "I'll make sure to invite you, Lena. I want you by my side," he assured her, his voice resonating with a deep affection.With the suitcases in hand, Jayden led the way up the stairs to his room, Lena following closely behind. As they entered the room, Jayden gently dropped the luggages onto the floor, careful not to disturb their contents. He turned to Lena, a warm smile on his face, and motioned for her to sit on the bed."Come, Lena. Take a seat," Jayden said, his voice filled with tenderness. He extended his hand to help her find a comfortable spot on the bed.As Lena settled onto the soft mattress, she looked up at Jayden with a grateful expression. "Thank you, Jayden," she murmured, her voice filled with appreciation. "I'm just so tired from the journey."Concern etched across his features, Jayden leaned closer, his eyes searching Lena's face. "Is there anything you're craving, Lena? Maybe something to eat or drink?" he asked, his voice lac

    Vera sighed softly, her fingers nervously intertwining. She met Lena's gaze, her eyes reflecting uncertainty and hesitation. "No, Lena," she replied, her voice laced with a hint of sadness, "I don't think I like him."Lena furrowed her brows, studying Vera intently. "Then why are you feeling so conflicted? If you don't like him, what's causing all this internal struggle?" she pressed, concerned for her friend.Vera took a deep breath, her shoulders slumping slightly as she prepared to share her inner turmoil. "I understand why you might think that Lena, but it's not about me liking him," she explained, her voice softening. "It's just... complicated."Lena leaned in closer, her curiosity growing. "Complicated? How so?"Vera's gaze dropped to her hands, her fingers tracing invisible patterns on her lap. "Well, it's true that William has expressed his interest in me," she began, her voice wavering, "but there are other factors at play. I know him well, and I care about our boss Employee

    As the car continued to glide through the bustling streets, Vera's mind swirled with conflicting thoughts. She pondered Clara's words, considering the possibility that her silence and lack of action might have concealed a deeper longing.Vera drove in silence, her thoughts consumed by the ongoing discussion. Clara, sitting beside her, gazed out at the passing road, occasionally stealing glances at Vera, sensing her colleague's unease. After a while, unable to resist the urge to break the silence, Clara turned to Vera and posed a question that had been lingering in her mind. "Vera, are you absolutely certain that this dilemma is about your friend and not about you?" Clara asked, her voice and words filled with curiosity.Taken aback, Vera's eyes widened, and a surprised chuckle escaped her lips, triggering a brief cough. "Come on, Clara," she replied, her voice laced with amusement. "You must be joking. Why would our boss, William, even be interested in me?" Vera lied dismissing the id

    "Wow," William's mouth dropped open in disbelief, his excitement mirrored by Jayden's contagious happiness.William's smile widened with astonishment as he responded to Jayden's love story. "Jayden, I never thought Lena would actually accept you. It's like a miracle!"Jayden chuckled, happiness and relief in his voice. "I know, right? It's incredible. It just goes to show that Lena has had feelings for me all along. She just needed time to process them, understand them, and let them bloom."William's expression softened, his mind racing with thoughts about his own situation. "If that's the case, Jayden, maybe Vera is going through something similar. Maybe she needs time, too."Jayden nodded in agreement, a knowing look in his eyes. "That's exactly what I've been trying to tell you, William. Sometimes, people need space and time to figure out their own emotions. We can't rush them. We just have to be patient and understanding."William's voice carried hope and uncertainty. "I really h

  • AFTER THE FALL   Might Just Be

    William took a deep breath, his eyes tracing patterns on the floor as he struggled to find the right words. It was a heavy burden he carried, and sharing it with Jayden felt both daunting and necessary. Finally, he mustered the strength to speak."I'm... I'm so heartbroken," William admitted, his voice laced with vulnerability and pain. The weight of unrequited love hung heavy upon him. Jayden listened intently, his gaze fixed on his friend, ready to lend a supportive ear."How?" Jayden inquired gently, encouraging William to share the details of his anguish.William's voice wavered slightly as he recounted the events. "I... I confessed my feelings to Vera," he began, his words laced with a tinge of sadness. "But she rejected me. She said I'm her boss, and she doesn't want our relationship to jeopardize her career. She's afraid that if things don't work out, it will leave a lasting impact on her professional life."Jayden absorbed William's words, the weight of his friend's pain. Unde

    As Clara observed Vera, worry and curiosity flooded her thoughts. Something significant had happened, something that had shaken Vera to her core since Vera was acting a little strange and secretive.The remainder of the day stretched before William like an endless, hazy expanse. His mind was clouded with thoughts of the rejection he had just experienced. Sitting at his desk, he stared blankly at his computer screen, unable to muster the focus to tackle his work. The weight of his unrequited feelings for Vera pressed heavily upon him, suffocating his motivation to work."Why did she reject me so quick just like that?" William mumbled to himself, the words escaping his lips with a tinge of sadness. He knew the reason, of course.
