Jonathan"Hey Jonathan, check this out" Asher says, shoving a sketch pad infront of me with one hand with the other sneakily entering into my bag of chips. Taking the sketch pad from his hands, I glanced at the design on it. "Is this for the last ring?""Yeah, do you like it?" He asks, munching on the chips in his hands. "Since you're the volunteer, I thought it'd be best to go with a design that you like""It looks good" I admit, honestly. "I can't really tell. I'm always drawing a blank when it comes to things like this""Let me take a look at your engagement ring" Asher suggests. "Because I still feel like something's missing"I saw him the ngagement ring on my finger. "Here"Asher focuses his gaze on it for a long period of time. "I think I know what's missing. By the way, congratulations man"I was rendered speechless for a second as I wasn't yet used to this 'friendship' with Asher. "Thank you"Asher retrieves the sketch pad from me, takes his seat as I watch him begin to desig
JonathanEvening came but we were still working foot and hand as it was time for to pull our all nighters. It was still awkward around Mr Pitt as I hadn't found the opportunity yet to thank him for standing by me during the meeting with Abel as he'd always been busy doing one thing or the other. Even now. He'd called us for another round or meeting. "So any ideas on how we can increase our sales?"Adrian raises up his hands. "It's almost winter. Can't we put up winter coats on sales""Winter coats on sales" Mr Pitt ponders on the idea. "It's not a bad idea but winter is still a month away. Nobody would be buying winter coats by this time of the day. Any other person with a suggestion?"Think Jonathan, think. Something trendy and eye-catching or rather always in use. Think. Suddenly an idea came to me. Slowly, I raised up my hands. "I have an idea, sir"Mr Pitt's sterns gaze lands on me. "I don't want want to hear ideas from people who aren't confident in their work. Any other perso
Jonathan Feeling the hot rays of sun upon my face, I slowly opened my eyes. Ciara was still fast asleep beside me on the bed so I quietly climbed down, moving to the bathroom to wash up and get ready for work. Last night, I had the craziest dream. Ciara had given me an engagement ri-"Holy shit!" I screamed, when my gaze mistakenly caught a glance of the the ring on my finger. It wasn't a dream. Ciara had actually..The door to the bathroom was thrown ppened as Ciara rushed in, breathing heavily."Jonathan, are you alright? I heard you scream earlier. Are yoy hurt?. Did you sli-" she rambled on. I couldn't get her to stop talking to explain myself so rather, I kissed her on the lips and that seemed to do the trick. "I'm fine, Ciara. I didn't slip or fall""But I heard you scream"Flushed, I looked away from her embarrassed. "I thought it was a dream""What was?"Showing her my ring finge, I clarified. "This""Oh, I see" She turns my face towards her. "Now you know it's not a dream"
WARNING: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS CHILD ABUSE. IF YOU KNOW ANYONE GOING THROUGH THE SAME THING, REPORT IMMEDIATELY!. Jonathan. I froze. How did Alena know about my traumas?. "How do you-""I'm 18, dad. Not a kid that you still think I am" she clarifies. "I've known for quite a while now""You don't need to worry, bean" I assured her. "It's just a small trigger that got me-"Frustrated, Alena springs up from the couch "It's either you tell Ciara yourself or I will"Alena was..crying. "Julia never told you, did she?. That I was the one that found you the last time it happened to you" My eyes bulged. What?. "But..""But she told you it was her, right?" She places her hands over her chest, sniffling. "I'd asked her to. You weren't breathing from afar when I found you. I was scared so I called Julia and-"I pulled Alena into my arms as she wept softly. "You don't have to talk about it. I'm sorry you had to see me that way. I'm so sorry, Alena""Just promise me that you'll get help and tell
JonathanThe next day at work, Mr Pitt had called for a boardroom meeting. I, as his personal secretary had to be there to note any appointments that would be made for the day. "We'll be taking in a new proposal made with MILLERS" Mt Pitt begins. "Jonathan?"I hand over the organised document to him. "Here you go, sir"Holding my breath, I watched Mr Pitt scan the document carefully. Did I make another mistake?. My gaze instantly shifted to Leonard across the boardroom table whom encouraged me with a thumbs up. "Well done, Jonathan" Mr Pitt says breaking the ice. Handing the document back to me, he informs me to distribute it round."This is every detail concerning the project" Mr Pitt continues. "Everyone is to study it carefully. The project commences as early as Wednesday morning so don't expect to be going home early. Meeting adjourned"I trudge behind Mr Pitt's heels following him to his office. On getting to my desk outfront, the phone rings. "Good morning, this is Jonathan f
Jonathan Leonard and I decided to kill sometime in the cafeteria before we went upstairs to work. "Do you know who started the rumor about Mr Pitt and I?" I asked. Leonard waved his hands off. "Nah, that's the thing about rumours; there's never an actual source""But how could someone start that up without thinking about how Mr Pitt would feel?""Mr Pitt is pretty much used to having himself paired up with anyone he shows even the slightest bit of favour to" Leonard explains. "He always finds a way to make the rumors go away but he never tries to find the actual culprit"I didn't know Mr Pitt well but that sounded just like him. "It's like he's giving the person a second chance" "A second chance that has been clearly taken for granted" Leonard sighs. "Anyways, it's time to get back to work. Get your head back in tbe game. I might not always be there to help you correct your documents""Thanks for the advise, Leonard" We bid eachother farewell before going about our separate ways.
