Fifty three: Pretending?
Probably because of how I had scolded Rachel yesterday, she hardly said anything to me. She looked kind of weary. She really never wore heavy makeup, but at least, she'd wear a little. But now, she wasn't wearing any makeup. She only looked so, so depressed. I hoped I hadn't done something really terrible to her.
"Are the files complete?" I didn't want her to notice I was staring at her, so I just turned to my laptop.
"Yes, they are." Her voice was low. Jeez, what was happening to her?
I was kind of worried, but if I apologized to her or asked her what was wrong with her, she'd feel too important. That wasn't a bad thing, but well, I needed her to know she was like the other workers.
I sighed. "Okay. So, send the other files as soon as possible."
"Okay." She still wasn't staring at me. She looked extremely depressed.
I guessed I

I felt so devastated. I knew something wasn't right about him, but I wouldn't have expected that he would work with Becca, and plan to ruin me. What had I done to him?"But, how did you go about it? Cause, as far as I know, it's really hard to fool Louella. And, um, did you do it just to keep your ego or what? Cause, I still don't get why you'll do this," Becca queried.He laughed. "At first, all I had wanted was to get close to her, so she'd work with me. As we all know, she's very brilliant. But then, I also realized she was so egoistic. To prove that I'm the hotter one, I decided to trap her. I managed to get her to like me.""Hm… guess you're the smarter and hotter one indeed." She giggled.I rolled my hands up in a fist, feeling extremely hurt. My legs felt weak, my body felt weak, I felt weak. If I was in stiletto or scarpin shoes, I would have thrown it against their forehea

Louella••••••••••Goodness knew why Erin was here. I had told her to leave because I needed to stay alone, and think of the next step to take in my life. After that devastating betrayal from Seth, all I wanted to do was to work. Nothing else.Erin took a piece of the pizza she had in her plate, ate it, and did the "yum-yum" sound as she chewed it hard, probably trying to get my attention.I rolled my eyes. "Can you just leave? I'm sorry. I don't wanna seem rude, but seriously, I don't feel like having anyone here.""Have you really been doubting Seth?" She asked.I gave her a sideways glance, resumed arranging my bed. "Yeah, duh. I said it already. Why asking again?""I don't think that's nice." She grabbed the stool beside the bed, sat

Erin•••••Here was my bestie, speaking about her sweet love life. And here I was, having a terrible love story. It wasn't like I was jealous of her or something. It was just that, I felt kind of bad. At this point, I was feeling so lonely. It seemed like I wasn't destined to be loved."And so, we kissed," Louella announced."Hm?" I blinked like I was confused. Oh, I had literally trailed off.She smiled widely, hopped from the counter, and ambled to the dining table. "I'm really glad I didn't overreact. Things could've gotten really bad for us. You're right. Being patient is really good.""Yeah, it's good." I laughed weirdly.She sighed. "So, um, I wanted to ask, how's your health?""Good, I guess." I wiped off the tiny dough of bread on the counter in Louella's kitchen, washed my hands a

Louella••••••••••It had been a while since I had seen mom. She hardly came over here, since she had decided to settle in Canada, claiming that the place was peaceful for an oldie like her. Well, that wasn't a big deal. After all, she was happy. That was the point."I can't believe you and Seth ended up falling in love. It feels so weird, you know?" She took a bite of her onion and pepper sandwich, ate it like a calm person. "I'm glad about it. I was really worried you'll never fall in love.""Well, all thanks to Seth for making me fall for him." I giggled."This is such a miracle." She winked at me.I rolled my eyes, and just kept staring at her."So, how's work?" She asked. Oh, I hadn't told her about dad and his family.I shook my head slowly.

For some reason, work felt so stressful today. I didn't know why, but I found myself being quite lazy. All that needed to be done was to sign a couple of documents, and assist Erin to prepare a bunch of contracts. To aggravate my frustration, Seth had been ignoring my calls and texts. I was so worried, cause I needed to know if he was fine, and wasn't thinking about Harold.I dashed my fingers into my hair, groaned. "Oh, goodness. What now?""Ms. Warren, it's a little more that's left. That's all," Rachel announced."What the heck is this?!" Angered, I tossed the paper she had given me earlier, glared up at her. In only one day, she had made about three mistakes. To be honest, I needed a new secretary. "Are you crazy?! Why do you keep on bringing these gibberish documents, and in fact, committing so many errors?! Pay attention to your work, woman!"She lowered her head. "I'm sorry. And pl

She was the last person I would expect this from. Rachel was more like the real sister I never had. What had I done to deserve this betrayal? Was it a crime for me to love someone?I didn't know how to react to this. I just kept staring at them, allowing the tears to leave my eyes. I was weeping hard, whimpering in a low tone. What would I do next? This time around, I was assured that Seth was bad. He was cheating on me. I knew it. My doubts weren't false after all.Wait, Rachel was pregnant. Was her baby… Seth's child? After I had discovered that she was pregnant, she and I hadn't been on good terms. We weren't so close anymore. Could this be the reason for that?Frustrated, running crazy, extremely furious, I scanned my eyes through the room, in search of something to hit against their heads. In a short while, I found a glass bottle on the bedside table. I grabbed it, and squeezed it in my hand. Of course,
BILLIONAIRES Sixty: Bad Temper
It had been about two weeks since the so-called "love of my life" had betrayed me. Life had been so hard in that short while. I had been trying as much as possible to not think about the sin he and Rachel had committed, but it felt so hard to.The day after that had happened, he had called my phone a couple of times, and had even attempted to come into my office, but no, I had been ensuring that he wouldn't be able to speak to me, or see me. He didn't deserve me.Rachel, on the other hand, had not been coming to work. She had disappeared all of sudden, and hadn't attempted to call me or something. Well, speaking of her being my secretary, that was in the past. I was already in the process of getting a new secretary. Also, as a sister to her, I had already disowned her."Sup?" Erin joined me on my table. She dropped some files in front of me, and began working on her laptop."N

Seth•••••••"Two more to go!" Jerome announced.Letting out a loud groan, I pulled my chest forward, did the last two push-ups. What a relief. I was finally done working out for the evening. It had felt like it wouldn't ever end."Thank God," I said amidst hard breath."Good job." Jerome and I hit our fists against each other, and he gave me a bottle of water."Thanks," I appreciated. I gulped down the whole content in the bottle, then we made our way out of my home gym.When we got to the kitchen, he took his backpack from the counter, began arranging his gym clothes into the bag. I took my phone from the counter too, went through my messages. Seeing a text from Dad's doctor, I felt something heavy dropping against my chest.I tugge
