“Okay, let’s get serious. We’ve got work to do. Where the hell should we start this time? I’ve run out of ideas.” James changed the topic.“Well, I’m feeling half dead right now. Let’s call it a night, tomorrow is not here yet.”Ben put if off. James looked at his partner and shook his head.“I don’t know why you’re half dead when it was me who ran after the girl, and you’re just resting your badass in the car.“So I guess you’re also half dead. See you in the morning, buddy. Let’s pray that we have some luck tomorrow.”Ben concluded, slapped James’s shoulder. James sighed and nodded since he was tired as Ben said. He walked into his bedroom, felt heavy in his head when thinking about the big assignment.***Stella did not come to the restaurant that week. She told everyone there if anybody came and asked for her, just said they did not know anything.Later, Supa told her that there were some guys came and asked for a woman named Violet. Stella knew straight away it was THEM, the bad
Stella received orders to be delivered at the Grand MC hotel which was a seven-star luxury hotel she knew but never had a chance to go in there. She was not sure why the hotel guests dared to order food from outside to eat. Because it seemed ill-mannered and insulting the skills of the hotel chefs. However, that was not her problem. Everyone had the freedom to do anything according to their own rights under the laws. She was wearing another restaurant's uniform, which was a black T-shirt, had the name ‘Vi Wine’ printed on its chest and wearing her favorite black jeans. She had a brown leather jacket covered on top, wearing a pair of sneakers. She drove to the hotel. When she arrived, she informed the security at the front door that she was delivering food to the guests on the 30th floor. The security made a face like he did not believe her. However, he led her to the reception front desk. It was a very long counter with so many nice-looking receptionists in the hotel well-cut suit u
Leonard looked at Sam and then looked at the girl. Aha, that’s why Sam was embracing her.He nodded with understanding. But however, he felt something was not quite right. This woman somehow kicked his memory in some ways and he was not sure which way, but she felt familiar. With suspicion filled in his mind, he looked at the woman and stared longer this time.It took only seconds for her to be unable to resist his glare. Her face gradually lifted up and looked at him in the eyes. Leonard stood still, his dark eyebrows suddenly frowned upon when catching her look.He reached out and pulled her cap off. The pretty sweet face was clear right in front of his eyes. Her huge black eyes looked even bigger, he froze. His eyes did not move from her face and no blinking.It’s her! Violet? … Wine? … Sam’s girlfriend?“What? … Wine? … Girlfriend? … She’s your girlfriend, Sam?”Leonard heard his own voice asking out loud. Sam nodded. He confirmed with a tight hug wrapped around her shoulders and
Time had gone by so quickly until graduation.Sam decided to continue his studies at a famous medical school in England. Sophia went with him to continue her master’s degree.For Stella, she decided to have a break from studying, thought that she would find a job first and maybe continue her study later when she felt ready again.Sam suggested that Stella should apply for a job at his father’s company in Boston. At first, she refused because she did not want to use special rights over others, it was unfair. But Sam sent an application with a copy of her Graduate Transcript and Stella got a phone call asking her to go for an interview.She was not happy with Sam but he said he would not be happy either if he had not helped. Sam assured that he did not tell anybody that she was his close friend. The reason she was called, it was the manager’s decision, and he considered it from her excellent academic performance himself.However, After a week, Sam was successful in trying to convince he
What a start of the day!Stella was sitting very still even her eyes didn’t blink.“Stella, Mr. Duncan is waiting for you in his office right now.”Mr.Lee said after putting the telephone down.“Yes, Mr.Lee, ah, would you like anything before I go?”Stella asked the manager in case he could extend her time a little.“No, thank you. You should go now before he gives me another call.” He reminded her, kind voice but with serious gesture in his eyes.“Yes, sir.”She walked to the elevator, her heart was racing up and she tried to breath in and out deeply to make it slow down. She stepped in, pressed a button, the floor number that she never came up there before. The elevator stopped at the top floor of the building. When the door opened, she saw a door room not far from where she was stepping out.There were two men standing right there, like they were waiting and she remembered one of them straight away. He’s the one who chased after her four years ago!“Miss. This way, please.”He said
He lifted his face up, his breath was heavy and fast and as well as hers. Her pretty face had gone red including her ears and her neck.“Remember! Don’t challenge my authority! “The low-pitched voice spoke close to her lips. Stella blinked, the consciousness slowly came back.“You can’t use your authority with me!” The angry voice shouted, and the only seconds Leonard forgot to protect himself, a small but strong fist shot straight to his cheek.“Fuck!”. He felt a sharp pain where her fist hit him.Stella spun out of his arms, but he was faster, strong hands grabbed her body and pulled her against him again. He closed his lips on hers. Kissed her fiercely. Stella flung her hands slap them hard on his both cheeks. His face turned red with a palm-printed on. His brain was pausing for two seconds.“Fucking hell, you are such hard work!” He snarled and lowered his face to her, she tossed her head away.“Sam! Help!”She shouted out the name that came to her mind, suddenly, it was like a m
Leonard's displeased sound loud enough to make James and Ben jump a little. They were afraid of her braveness. Nobody dared to bargain with the master of money as he just told her. It’s only Leonard Duncan who could determine the destiny of his employees. Everything, depended on him, only one man!Stella shrugged.“I’ve changed my mind now, I want four times my salary or I’ll leave right now. And I’ll make sure Sam knows about what had happened to me.”She gave him the last offer and a bit of threat made herself ready to step out of the room.“If you step out of this room, your life will never be the same again.”The low voice intimidated and his face turned stern, his eyes were staring at her seriously with a displeased gesture.The bodyguards looked at each other and were really praying for the pretty Miss as they quite liked the way she challenged against the boss’s authority for a change, lucky for them to see such a brave girl in front of their eyes. The one and only. They hoped
Leonard sat behind the big desk in the center of the room. Behind him, there were tall cabinets stood against the big wall, full of books and folders. In front of the desk, there were two chairs, on the left corner, there was a set of dark brown leather sofas and a mini bar near the wall. This room was his office, everything he needed for work was right in here.He stopped reading the reports, put the folder down and looked up to his bodyguards. He heard them whispering for a while and it got on his nerves.“What is it?”He asked with an annoyed tone. gazing at the two tall men. They were standing with their hands in front of their crotch like they were so scared of him, but he knew his bodyguards too well, they were just pretending to be afraid… gave him a lot of bullshit sometimes. “Uh … nothing, boss. We’re just seeing Sam posting on his Facebook. He’s got injured.”James reported. Leonard immediately frowned with worry in his eyes.“Really? What happened. He didn’t mention it las
