My heart throbbed erratically as I read all of those. My concentration in polishing my report vanished and turned to worries. I felt like my stomach was having diarrhea. My nerves were getting jelly and my energy died in an instant. I wanted to cry but I kept on holding my tears not to burst which caused me a headache.
"Where are you," I sent Yvonne a message because the feeling I had inside was getting me insane and I needed someone to talk to. "On my way to bench 13 - back of the art building," she replied. I quickly gathered my documents on the table so I could rush to her.
I sat beside her and she handed me a bottle to drink. She knew that the news bothered me to the core. I'm thankful that she informed me right away than to discover the news from other people like Georgia the bitch.
"Are you alright?" she breathed out. "You should train yourself to ignore such news from now on," she patted my back. "Matthews Group is prominent in business and could catch
After I read Yvonne's message, I went directly to our dorm. She was so busy packing her things because, in a few days, we are leaving the place. "Hey! are you not packing yours?" she asked right away with a furrowed brows. I told her that there's nothing for me to pack because I only have a few stuff. The first time I entered the dorm, I carried one piece of luggage and probably will be leaving with the same. I was busy putting her pile of clothes on one of her suitcases when "Where are you going after graduation?" she was curious about my plans. I shared with her that I will find some work around the city with the help of Mr. Johnson. "Faith, I know you like to do things on your own," she protruded her lips. "But whenever you need my help, please don't hesitate," she clucked her tongue. "There's a lot of positions available in my parent's company, I can recommend you anytime," she insisted while sorting those trousers on her luggage.
Our graduation ceremony started on time and when it was time to accept my diploma, I felt my heart pounded in a high-intensity level of excitement. Finally, all the sleepless nights doing my homework paid off. The speaker did an amazing job in sharing an inspiring story and words of wisdom which I absorbed deeply. I could say that he made the event an interesting one. As promised, Marco came to witness my graduation ceremony and I felt so happy about it. "Baby, Congratulations!" he hugged me as soon as I stepped closer to him. I expressed how thankful I was for him that I have someone beside me to share my happiness in reaching one of my goals in life. "Let's celebrate!" he announced. I bid goodbye to Yvonne as she and her family have their own plans too. I honestly didn't have an idea as to where Marco will bring me but I had a feeling that it will be a good one. He halted his car in one of the tallest buildings in New York and we went directly to the peak w
When she left, I slumped on the couch and burst out all the mixed emotions inside me. The pain, irritations, and disappointments that I wasn't able to defend myself. Above all, the thought that I wasn't able to fight because I couldn't. My encounter with her drained all the energy I have. I felt so hurt thinking low of myself. I hate that all I could do is to cry and endure the awful feeling inside me. I could certainly tell that my world went upside down. "Damn you, rich people!" I leaped out an expletive. After my cry, I went to the bathroom to fix myself because I didn't want Marco to see me in that state when he gets home. Thankfully, he did not notice how distressed I am because of his mother. A week passed and nothing changed. He's always worn and stressed whenever he arrives home. I could feel all the tension caused by his business dilemma just by the look on his face. It added to my agitation to see him like that. As I wanted
"Faith, Ms. Jones wants to see you in her office," that was Evan my colleague in the Architectural and design department of Williams Group of Company. "Thanks, Evan, I'll be there in a few," I replied and didn't forget to smile at him. I've been working as an assistant to the head supervisor of our department for exactly three weeks. My first one and a half week were filled with training and learnings. I could say that my teammates are very supportive when it comes to new employees like me. Whenever I needed help, they don't hesitate to do so. Our department supervisor is quite strict and moody which all of us are very much aware of. But no one tried to complain because we don't want any trouble. As long as we can endure and she's not going below the belt, then it's fine with us. "Good afternoon, Miss Jones," I greeted her but her face was printed in annoyance. Sometimes I felt like she doesn't like me around the department. "Miss Anderson, I need you to revi
I felt so happy to have a friend like Allesandra and I never expected her to like me. It is really true that some people will like us and some will just hate us for no reason. I'm so thankful that she chose to be friends with me even though she barely knows me. Sometimes, when she's around, she invites me for a snack together with Maris, the lady in the reception. We three became friends in the company and I'm so grateful about it. To meet and have new friends like them really helped me in healing my broken heart. I and Yvonne are calling each other often but having friends physically close to me is a different thing. That's not all, recently I met Bella and we became friends too because she's Alle's best friend. I could say that Bella is so lively that we don't have dull moments when she's around. Few months passed and still, the pain in my heart never fade away. I may be happy around my friends but my heart is dying inside because of him. *** “Okay guys, c’mon move
The moment I saw him, I wanted to burst but I couldn't because I didn't want to get any attention from anyone. I don't know what to say or do because my heart and mind were in chaos. I did not expect to see him and with all the day in my life, it happened at Alle's wedding. He kept on looking at me like he couldn't believe that I'm a few meters away from him. I have a feeling that he wanted to hug me but he opted not to because he could notice that I'm not moving to come close to him either. "The bride just arrived!" Bella called. "Alright everyone please fall in line," she instructed all the entourage and we quickly gathered in the aisle near the front door of the church. "Maris this is Marco my cousin and he will be your partner," I was surprised to know that Bella and he are related to each other. Damn! what a small world. "Faith this is Gregg he is my cousin too and he is your pair," Wow! I could say Bella got good-looking genes. I smiled at
The previous night, Marco was like begging me to welcome him back again but it isn't easy. He was pleading for me to just stay in Chicago and not run away anywhere. I could certainly feel inside my heart that I still love him, that I could give up if we stayed longer beside each other. I told him that I'm not dating anyone and that earned a sigh of relief from him. Since I left New York, dating never crossed my mind. The truth, I really don't want to date because I'm not over him. The next morning, I was awakened by the ringing of my phone. I felt irritated because I'm still sleepy as I slept late the previous night. The thought of Marco made it hard for me to do so. I immediately pushed the answer button without checking who the hell was calling me early in the morning. "Hello," I yawned. "Faith, I know you're not busy so meet me at cafe Le Cryst in two hours," that was Bella and I believed I have an idea of why she wanted to see me. I thought it was still e
"Miss Anderson, these flowers are for you," one of our attendants in the company placed a bouquet of red roses on my table. No need for me to check who sent them because clearly, it was from Marco again. He never missed sending me flowers every week for the past six months. He too kept on sending me messages every day though I don't reply often. Sometimes I just say thank you and that was it. I don't know who from my friends gave him my digits but anyways, he always has his ways and I couldn't stop him on that. He could fly to Chicago from New York anytime he wanted but I defied him because it isn't necessary as I'm not going anywhere else. Besides, I really love my job at Williams Company and I'm tired of running away. He said I should let him do what he's doing because it makes him happy that even it was hard, we still have communication and that's what matters to him. Our friends persuaded me especially Bella to give him a chance and to trust him. But I to
