Angela.."Here comes the one who set the world ablaze yesterday and still manage to have such...a calm face," Vanessa mouthed when I entered the kitchen."I doubt if that would be enough to burn everything tho." I sigh."You look like you could devour a whole building, I'm making salmon and chicken wings, would be ready in four." She clicks her tongue.I move to the fridge and take out a loaf of bread."I'll be dead by then," I mumble before going to sit on the stool."You seem not to like them juices.." she pointed out.I nod, "they aren't good for my health." I stuff a slice of bread in my mouth."But alcohol is good for it?" She lowers her voice."Shhshhhittt..." I look around, afraid that someone would hear her."I..I don't drink alcohol, why would I?" I scratch my neck—anxious, swallowing the bread in my mouth."You once asked for it, have you forgotten? That night?" My lash
I open my mouth to tell a response at him but just slip my hands in my pockets, tired of arguing with someone like him."When the Prime Minister said to declare a state of emergency on the State's state and rate of unemployment, I thought he was being overboard but now I see," the man pass us a sympathetic look and I laugh, pointing at myself."Me? No, you've got it wrong. I've been here with my colleagues to buy some choco—" i trail off as he cut me off."Here, have a look," he points to the computer Infront of him where he was behind the counter and step away. The guy step to it and I did also. He fast-forward the clip till it get to the scene.The light clearly turned to red and then he came rushing."Who is the brainless one now?" I smirk.He strike a finger on his lips before shrugging,"I see it happens that way" and in the most amusing way, he simply strides out and I chuckled like crazy."He is such

My lashes fluttered as I try to recollect it and gasp.I had came in after work and she told me to come down fo
Mom's eyes flicker, a weight of shock reflecting in them.Her jaw tightened, but then Lena whisper something to her and that brought back her unnerving confidence."How true is that?!""We saw the pre-wedding pictures and photos of Mr Daniel and you when you went on different trips,""If it was your intention to wed Mr Winslow all along, why did he have to sit at the audience area before going up the altar?" The reporters ask and my eyes dulled for a moment.Our trips?The pictures we took was only the fun of it, just like it would have been if I had gone there with a brother.A grin broke out of my lips, and everywhere went silent.I guess Miguel's experience sure comes in handy. He has made me list out every objects, places and words of existence between Daniel — He gave me possible questions on them and how to answer."Oh?" I chuckle into the microphone."The trips were only to get mother disillusioned that our ship was moving.""That's Mr Daniel right there, you can ask him how o
Angela...I was going to pull the conference off on my own but he had came to knock my door that night and begged for a five minutes talk."He is always saying let's talk! Could he be a turkey that is talkie freak?" My second grunts.I open the door and he nod with a "thanks.""I know I've let you down but still,""You didn't disappoint me, for your information," I corrected and he nods with a long sigh."I know you want to go to the conference alone but can you take me? I'll just stay by your side without saying a word..""I didn't know you had the bodyguard trait in you, I thought you were into business?"I strained my eyes at him."Angela, please can you stop interrupting?" He says with an open palm as if begging for alms."I do have an information I am willing to share only if you agree to take me?"I stare at him for some minutes before saying with a void face."No,""You..you need me. You haven't spoken at a conference before, have you?"He made a point. "Fine. You absolutely c
SIMEON...After having that discussion with the chairwoman of Wilson, I couldn't get the thought off my head.I am always looking for ways to expand my company but, although things had been progressing little by little, I wanted a big change.I was going to discuss this with Winslow, maybe we could talk over some drinks but he refused my invitation to see him.I wasn't expecting much, i knew he was that arrogant.Oir fathers were close, a trio of friends so I wondered why he could be such a snob most times.He had it rough, I had it rough too. We both had to build our castles from the scratch, not inheriting a built one like others.Since he has refused to meet, I had no choice but to meet with Abigail."I knew you will come back," she says, a light smirk gracing her lips."What were you going to do if I didn't xall you here today?" I ask with inquisitive eyes.She draw a sip from her wine before signaling for a waiter.She requested for a plate of dark chocolate.I must say, i am im
Janice...Getting home after a long day, I was incredibly tired and wanted nothing but to sleep.I input my apartment passcode and enter, shutting it.My legs weakened at the sight before me. Several bottles of alcohols were on the table and the pillows were on the floor, everything was in a disorganized state.I let out a breath. It would never get old. It's like a circle, one I'm use to getting caught in.I roll my sleeves up, dropping my bag on the couch and packing the bottles one after the other, arranging them in a carton.After tidying up everywhere, I slept off... My senses awakened the next day from bites on my earlobe."Babe.."his breath fan my neck.I roll away from his hold, wanting to get some more sleep but his scent csme to my nostrils again as he scooted closer."Babe, I need money...hm?" He kiss my neckline.I open my eyes, totally forgetting about sleepiness but ready to rant out at this man at how he has totally sucked life out of me!"Money?""Good morning, Jan
MIGUEL..."How do you plan to settle this, boss?" Pierre asks as soon as I came out of the hospital."What about Ellie?" "No news from her yet." He reply."We can only hope she finds a lead in her office." I pinch my nose before going to enter the backseat."Are you leaving her alone here?" He asks ad I look up at the hospital."I don't know, she has her..girl with her, I don't want to interrupt.""Regardless, she is your wife and you... ""I have more pressing matters, Pierre." I snap my fingers at him before he blabs on.I enter the car and he came to the driver's seat, sparing me a look from the rear view mirror."You called me father earlier today.."he had a funny expression on his face.I sighs, resting my head on my chin."Why would I?""You said pere which means father in French when you were rushing to save the miss." He grins."Have you been less busy these days? I have been working my ass off but you seem to have so much time to spare.." I reply sternly and he take his lip
ANGELA...After miss Maria and others left, Janice said she was going to watch over me overnight but I refused because she still has to go to work.After much begging, she finally agrees she would leave after staying an extra hour."Did you see the news yet?" She ask softly as we both sat in the ward, only the mixture of our smell and the curious sound of our hearts were in earshot."Not yet." I responded and she nod."Good. Don't watch it..."she says."I have too. I can't escape it forever." I reply.She seem to think about it for some seconds before nodding."You've grown.."I heard her mutter as she looks at my chest.A breath got stuck in my throat before I stifle a laughter."Hey, what are you talking about it? And stop looking at me passionately like that, it makes me feel you're in love with me." She raise her eyes to the level of mine and bore them into my soul as if she hid a hold in my pupils.I furrowed my brows and she chuckle."I am straight, girl. And oh, I am not marri
