Chapter 7
And just like that, Jupiter saved the day again. My day. Or my night, rather.
We drove to the center of the city and I couldn’t help but be amazed with the flickering lights of the buildings all over the metro. I haven’t been here in a while since life could be quite high maintenance here. I used to be able to afford to step in the beautiful streets of this city when my parents were still alive… until life became horrible for me.
“I used to eat dinner on that place every Sundays,” I absentmindedly uttered while pointing on the fancy restaurant we passes by through the window. “Their chicken wings are the best. And their salads? Superb!”
“Couldn’t agree more. Their Caesar salad is one of the best.” Jupiter uttered beside me.
I turned to look at him and grinned. “Let’s stop by and eat! Your treat.”
His brow immediately arched. “My treat? Aren’t yo

Calvin.That guy is mostly the reason why I rarely visit my condominium. I hate seeing his face. The very mere shadow of his existence makes my stomach churn in disgust. I thought he already moved out of the building but turns out he’s still here and probably camping with his pawns… looking out for a new victim.I slammed my hands on the steering wheel after my car got stuck in the middle of a heavy traffic. It’s nearly twelve, what’s causing this commotion?My phone suddenly rang, flashing an unknown number on the screen. I ignored it but the screen lit up again to leave a message.Unknown Number :Don’t bother going back, sissy. I already called someone to pick us up. – MillicentI felt my face grew hot at the way she just addressed me. Sissy?!Well, okay… it kinda felt good being acknowledged like that. But I’m still not comfortable having a

"Good night, Ma’am!” The hotel staff smiled at me as I walked her towards the door. “Hope you’d enjoy the meal! I’ll come back tomorrow morning for your breakfast.”My eyes widened at her as I felt the sparkle in them grew stronger. “There’s also a breakfast? That’s nice! What time will you be here?”“Uhm… Sir Seph told us to deliver your meal before eight in the morning. Do you have a preferred time, Ma’am?”I giddily clapped my hands. Jupiter, once again, being an angel to me. How could I not fall for him even more when he’s doing this?I sighed dreamily in my head before gazing back at the bell girl. “I actually wake up around six so you may bring it here at seven. And I have to leave early so…”The bell girl laughed. “You looked like you had a nice drink today. You sure you can still wake up like the usual tomorrow?&

The ringing doorbell woke me up from my deep slumber. I grumbled and shifted to the other side of the bed, trying to pin my ears on the soft pillow to avoid hearing the vile sound. I don’t remember changing the alert tone of my doorbell. So who the hell set it into a car honk?!“Juno… get the door, please.” I croaked out before attempting to give her a kick. My foot landed on the empty space beside me so I slightly panicked. I turned back on the other side and my eyes widened when I didn’t see Juno lying in there.Where is she? Did she go out already to get the door? But the honk hasn’t stop…I quickly rose from the bed to check whoever’s outside. I looked around the house on my way to the door, hoping to see Juno, but I didn’t see any single trace of her anywhere. Could it be that she went out early this morning and then attempted come back but didn’t know how to enter my apartment agai

I thought life would be less hard for me once I finally finish college. Little did I know, the real struggle is just about to maul me right on the face.It’s been a year and a half since I graduated from school but finding a regular job for me is like squeezing myself through a needle’s hole. I had quite a few, but all ended up badly so I was either fired or I resigned myself. I thought everything would be easier with a diploma but I guess I should’ve studied a little harder. I witnessed how top students who graduated with multiple awards are favored better compared to us who just did our best to strive out of college.I plopped on my old mattress, groaning out in frustration. For a very long time, I’ve been dreaming to move out of this freaking house but couldn’t do it since I’m broke and doesn’t have a stable work. Though, just like in college, I never run out of side jobs but I know that wouldn’t be enoug

“Meeting adjourned,” I announced to the board after a long two hours of boring reports and presentations. I remained seated on my chair while watching everyone step out of the conference room one by one. After greeting and shaking hands with me, of course…“Email the minutes to me before lunch,” I told Monica who’s standing stiffly beside me while holding her jotter pad. “Any news about my secretary?”Monica sneered shamelessly so I shot her a glare. This girl has been acting up lately as if I wasn’t the one paying her monthly bills. What if I fire her too like what I did to my former secretaries who were all nothing but failures and disappointment to me? God… when will you give me an efficient assistant who’s actually gonna be of help to me? It’s either they’re clueless about the job or they’re shamelessly flirting with me. Which is even worse! If only I can voice out t

“See you later, Picky!” I bent down to pet my cat one last time on the head. Pickle meowed before running off the street to probably meet up with the other stray cats. I then walked back inside the house to change my clothes into something formal since I’ll be reporting at the office this morning.It’s still early so I decided to hang out for a bit in my bedroom. I was seated in front of my vanity mirror, wearing a beige long sleeved vintage blouse paired up with a white pencil skirt, while practicing a one-on-one fast talk with my reflection.I knew I’ve been told that I was already hired but I want to make sure I wouldn’t black out for a surprise interview with the boss. But honestly, isn’t it a bit odd for them to just randomly hire me after three months of waiting? I even thought my resume was already thrown to the trash since I don’t even have an impressive portfolio. I lack so much in academic awards a

Monica arrived in my office a minute later carrying a thick pile of papers in hand. The resumes were as thick as two books of encyclopedia. And just when I thought that it was all in total, another employee came in after Monica to follow up the remaining papers.“Will that be all?” I asked, sighing in exhaustion while eyeing the pile of resumes on top of my table. Monica smirked with crossed arms. She then signaled for the other employee to leave the room to give us privacy.I deeply frowned at her bossy action. I knew her position’s way above that employee and she didn’t even commanded her rudely but it’s pissing me off that she’s enjoying this power tripping too much. I shot her a glare and she chuckled, slowly pacing back and forth in front of me.“I’m guessing you’ve seen the circulating article online.” The smirk plastered on her lips grew wider.My hands balled into a fist.

I didn’t expect I’d be able to settle everything instantly that very morning. Maggie; Lydia’s niece, helped me with the apartment and I must say the place passed my taste. I wasn’t really looking for anything grand, just as long as I could have a roof on my head before the night comes, I’d gladly take it.However, the place looked really nice and neat. It’s a single bedroom apartment painted in beige and white. And Lydia’s right! It’s very cheap. Not to mention, it’s close to the city so it’ll be very convenient for my work.“Thank you for the help, Maggie. I’m glad I called in time,” I said, relieved that the woman is on her day off and I didn’t disturb any work. Maggie smiled, shaking my hand.“No problem! I hope we can be friends. If you need anything, don’t be shy to knock on my door.”“Sure! I’ll take note of that,” I
