Chapter 8 - Parcel Delivery
"No Maya, please don't refuse to attend Dinner because of what just happened. It's a great time for everyone to bond. After the HR Manager's presentation, we realized this company hasn't really had staff times out so there was no bond among all of you. That's why we proposed lunch and dinner. We even have plans for some staff retreats latter to help everyone rejuvenate." He carefully said, looking at me.
He was right about bonding times. The only person I have bonded with within my years of working here is Tracy. It's difficult to have time to talk to anyone about anything not related to work. We are always drowned in the pressure of meeting our monthly targets without any extra curricular activities. But I will not stay for long so what's the point in joining them?.
"Tom, I have already resigned from this company and the only obligation I had was the presentation which is done with. Now, I have to put my handing over notes together by next week."
"You resign

"I think he loves you," Tracy smiled. "What" No. I think he just feels pity for me. Or maybe he feels guilty for what happened yesterday because he was the one who invited me to sit with them...I said defensively. Tracy's POV Listening to Maya only confirmed my suspicions. Tom is no ordinary guy and guys like that do not just show attention to people if they don't have interest. The way he led her yesterday to their table and how he greatly defended her made everyone astonished including me. But my problem is Maya. She is so naive. Ever since I have known her, she has never talked about any man than Jude and Sir Max who were big brothers or should I say guardians. Her life has been centered around education and work. She doesn't even have a social life and she has never had a boyfriend. I hope she doesn't break Tom's heart. When Tom called last night that he could not reach her, he sounded so desperate. It was as if

My jaws dropped when I saw Tilda. She was like a shining light. Her beauty was stunning. She had the fairest skin and the most beautiful dimples I have ever seen. I could understand why Mark loved her so much. I couldn't believe that a woman could be this perfect and still be wealthy and famous too. I have never been envious of anyone but I was envious of her. Seeing her, I could not pay attention to the event anymore until I heard, "can I have this dance? It was Tom. His right hand was stretched to me as he bowed politely. "Ofcourse," I said, as he led me to the dance floor. "Maya, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen," he whispered." "Then you haven't seen Tilda," I whispered back. He gave me a surprised look as he pulled back a little and swang me around, then holding me close as before. "You are smart and all, but you are still naive if you see Tilda to be more beautiful than you. Thirty plastic surgeries got her looking like th
Despised at First Sight Chapter 11 - Could it be Love....
Tom's POV When Maya asked this quesion, it really got me thinking. All these years, I have worked hard and achieved great wealth. I wanted to be rich for revenge. To let Tilda know that I could make it too but countless times I have asked myself this question. If Tilda had not left me, would I have been able to make it this big. I could not answer that question which was why I could not bring myself to hate her or revenge as I had planned. When Mark told me he was getting married to her, I was happy for them, even though I knew they didn't love each other. I did not feel jealous. I only felt grateful that her rejection has pushed me to be a better person. I wanted to tell Maya that the only person I loved now was her but I couldn't bring myself to do so. We just met yesterday but I felt a great bond to her as if I had known her all my life. She's sooo naive which gives her such innocent look and Tracy has already told me about her past when I called her as I
Despised at First Sight Chapter 12 - I must see her tonight
"What is the problem, Matilda, I was just trying to understand everything we are discussing," I tried to lie. "That's not true, she replied accusingly. No matter what you have on your plate, you always get a grip on yourself". She was right I never drip off in a meeting no matter the problems around me. "You always take promt decisions that always turn out well and besides, you never call me Matilda because you said it was old fashion." She ended angrily. "Trust me Matilda, I was thinking about what we were discussing," I tried to defend myself . "Please excuse me gentleman," she said dismissing our bankers. I know you very well Mark, and don't take me for a fool," she continued as the bankers left. Did you even ask me how I got to know where you were? I heard your voice from afar when I excused myself from the meeting to get a drink. I turned around and couldn't see you and when I asked them, they said you had gone the other way towards the garden. G
Despised at First Sight Chapter 13 - Please, forgive me
The look on her face made me feel more guilty. I have totally turned her into a scared little thing. If I had not treated her the way I did this past few days, she would have perhaps given me a concerned look or even a loving smile. But all I could see was fear and a means of escape. "I am very sorry," I managed to say. I just want to talk please. Just listen to me for a moment. "Okay, sit there on the couch and i will be back in five minutes," she said as she went to her closet. She came back wearing a long dress that covered every part of her body but she looked flawless like an Egyptian goddess. I was too desperate that i didn't take notice of what she was wearing before but I think she wanted to make herself comfortable. "Tea, Coffee?"...she asked as she walked towards the kitchen. "Coffee"...I replied gratefully. The way she treated me just made me feel even more guilty. How could she be so nice to me when all I did was make her life a nightmare? No wond
Despised at First Sight Chapter 14 - Drastic Change
Tom's POV I was in a state of ectasy when I saw her waving at me through the window. There were so many thoughts running through my head. I can see she is gradually begining to like me but I don't know if she loves me as much as I love her. Women can be very difficult to understand. Even with my experience with Tilda, they seem like a blank book that need to be filled through one's own experience. There are sooo many things I wanted to tell you her, but I don't know if she can take it. I don't know if it will make you happy and bring us together or only dissappoint her and destroy our friendship. After Mark was pulled away by Tilda during the office dinner party, I sensed her whole mood was destroyed. She couldn't focus on anything else so we decided to leave, just as we heard Mark arguing with Tilda. I was pretty sure it was about my past with Tilda. I couldn't help but notice the way she looked at me when she tried to take Mark away from our little argu
Despised at First Sight Chapter 15 - Send Off Party
"Where the hell have you been Maya"? were his first words when his eyes met mine. Even though he was angry, his eyes were filled with so much pain and genuine concern. Why will he be so concerned about me? Yes he apologized for everything and I genuinely forgave him. I didn't expect him to be my new guardian or anything. "We went to my house to pick my stuffs" Tracy responded from nowhere before i could even speak. Where did she come from all of a sudden? "So you both decided to leave your phones unattended?" He asked again, this time calmer. His eyes looked sunken and his hair was all messed up like he hadn't slept in days. But he still looked so attractive in his white T-shirt. This is my first time seeing him dressed casual and it suited him so well. I couldn't keep my eyes off him till Tom showed up also in a white shirt and looking tired as well. "Are you girls okay" he asked catching his breath. He must have really searched for us. "

"Tom, can I speak to you alone please...." I asked looking him in the eye. "No, Maya, I want everyone here to be a witness to what we have to say to each other. If you love me, I want to know how deep it is. Are you willing to spend the rest of your life with me?" He asked with a pleading stare. I looked at Tracy speechlessly begging her with my eyes to say something but for the first time, I was left to my fate. She had warned me earlier right? But I never took her warning serious. Right then, Mark came back. His eyes were covered with so much pain and anger. "Please Maya, I have loved you from the very moment I set eyes on you. Since that day, you have taken over my mind completely. I am always at peace whenever you are around me. Please I want to live with this peace forever. Please grant me this wish," he kept pleading. "I don't know what to say Tom, I don't think I am ready yet.." was all I could say. But the look in his ey
