FROSTBOUND 95 — Restless
~Adrian~I paced the space of my office, everything that happened in the board meeting replaying in my head. I'd instantly adjourned the meeting to the next two days immediately after she ran off, with the reason in order to give her time to rework on her designs."Fuck," I muttered under my breath, running my hand through my hair. "What the heck is happening to you, Adrian? Try to focus your mind," I cursed yet my mind refused to work as I wanted it to. It grew restless.The images kept replaying in my head. The way her face had withered the moment her presentation wasn't approved, the hurt in her eyes when she pulled up that composure and excused herself, that tear I saw in her eyes the moment I followed her out of the boardroom, and her response..."Go away, Adrian. I just want to be alone," That sounded like she was broken from inside when I tried to call her back.She had refused to listen to me, refused to let me talk to her, and locked herself in the restroom and refused to co
FROSTBOUND 94 — The Presentation
~Odessa~Wednesday morning came with the air buzzing, every department busy with the preparation for the month's event. 11: 00 am, it was time for the board meeting that had been rescheduled. It was time for my presentation."Alright, Sia you in an hour, Ember," I told Ember who I had left with handling the other important work in the office."Are you sure you don't want me to come?" Ember asked concerned, she had offered earlier to help her with the presentation, since she was just returning to the office and it might be difficult for her to cope with everything, but that would give Adrian more reason to look down on me, so I was not going to spare him that opportunity."I'm sure I can handle this myself. You don't need to worry about me.""Alright ma'am, see you later," Ember nodded."See you later, Ember," I responded, leaving the office with my tablet in my hand.By the time I arrived at the boardroom, Adrian and other board members were already seated behind the table, Margaret
FROSTBOUND 93 — Work For Me
~Adrian~"Do you think that what I said would be believable enough? That it would get rid of the public queries?" I asked Derek who was seated across from me with his hands crossed over his chest a few minutes after the interviewer had left my office.Derek had arranged for one as I ordered him to, and after having to sit in front of the camera and say those words, I truly hope that when it gets to the public, that would be enough for them to keep their mouth shut and face their lives."I am one hundred percent sure that it will work. No one will question her accident anymore with what you told the public. And that's a normal believable circumstance that can happen to anyone and cause an accident.""And it's also a good thing that you were the one who personally addressed the issue. Leaving it to Madam Margaret to speak about it would have been a bad idea, because people are going to ask about why it's always her and not you," Derek said with a strong affirmation.I nodded, my mind cr
FROSTBOUND 92 — Emotion Blind Judgement
~Odessa~"Ember, my mother-in-law told me you've worked here for four years, right?" I looked up from my laptop where I was scrolling through some designs."Yes, ma'am. I've been here since the launch of the company's first magazine album. Though I only started working as your assistant last year." Elsa answered. Today, we were working on choosing the best designs for the upcoming annual fashion show which has already been scheduled to begin in a week's time.The excitement had been in the air when I arrived this morning, with every staff member jubilant to have an opportunity to showcase their talent, star in the company's TV shows, and trend on all social media.The task this morning was to pick out the best design collections that would be presented to the board for approval before they would be showcased in the event."So... that means, you've known everyone here so well too." I went further to ask, keeping my gaze a little focused on her as she looked up meeting mine."Yes, I do.
FROSTBOUND 91 — A Move On Her
~Adrian~ "My alpha," Derek stood at the doorway, watching as I stormed into the room. "Another day of drama at work," He said as the first thing I did was pour myself a glass of whiskey before looking at Derek. "Are you okay, my Alpha?" Derek asked and I'm sure he already knows the answer to his question. Derek didn't have to guess to know my anger must have been from that woman. "You look like a dog who had just been attacked by a Cat. What has she done this time?" He smiled with his eyes. "That woman has got some nerves," I breathed heavily. "That asshole is asking for trouble," I loosened the knot of my tie and lunged on the sofa. "Can you imagine, Derek? She let Mr Jones take her home." "What? I mean... did he do something to her?" He exclaimed. "He didn't, but I'm sure he has something in mind when it comes to my wife. He keeps appearing innocent in his actions." I said, recalling several times Mr Jones made attempts to get Juliana's attention. "Hmm," Derek hummed
FROSTBOUND 90 — The Look On His Face
~Odessa~"Thank you once again, Mr Jones, for the ride," I said, watching as Mr Jones sat perched on the sofa, posture relaxed and almost carefree as he raised a knowing brow, lowering his eyes and letting them fall on the teacup Margaret had just offered him on arrival, and he raised them again, letting them trace me up like he was studying a manual."What are friends for?" He shrugged casually, turning toward me with an easy smile, his eyes crinkling slightly at the corners. "People say I'm too kind, that I wouldn't mind doing anything for a good friend. You know, when it comes to you, I might forget I have a wife," His lips curved with a sly smile. He laughed looking far too pleased with his remark, like he was asking for a reaction."There you go again, Mr Jones." I found his eyes and those striking silver met mine, refusing to look away. "You make me want to meet your wife. And tell you, Mr Jones, the moment I see her, I will tell her how much of a sweet talker you are," I droppe
