Maybelline.

Next Morning, Sunday. 7:00am.

The morning light filtered softly through the curtains as I blinked awake, stretching out in the bed, only to realize Grayson was no longer beside me. I sat up, rubbing my eyes, and found him standing by the dresser, already dressed in a sharp suit, adjusting his tie in the mirror. He noticed me watching him, and a soft smile crossed his face.

"Good morning, Beautiful." I managed a drowsy smile, pulling the covers around me as I took in the sight of him.

"Already up and dressed? It’s early Sunday morning," I grumbled. He chuckled, crossing over to the bed and leaning down to press a gentle kiss to my forehead.

"I’d love to stay . There’s a client I have to meet today, he’s leaving town today. I might be back late"

A pang of disappointment mixed with a hint of pride tugged at me.

"How about breakfast, at least?" I asked, reaching out to touch his hand. He took my hand, squeezing it gently.

"I wish I could, but I’ll grab something on the w

    Maybelline.Next Day.Wednesday 8:00am.“Sweetheart,”“My love,” I heard Grayson whisper to me, I slowly lowered the duvet over my head, he was standing by my bedside with a tray of pancakes, eggs and coffee. “You didn’t have to,” I muttered with a small yawn, as I stretched and slowly sat up on the bed. He flashed me a small smile as he gently set the tray on the bed.“I wanted to,” he whispered, he squatted beside me and pressed a soft kiss on my forehead. “Do you feel better?!” He asked, I exhaled deeply and nodded slowly.“I do,” “Sure?!”“Yeah. Just a little sad about my job but yeah, I’m better,”“We can always start over once this blows over,” he said to me, I took my lips into my mouth and nodded optimistically.“Yeah, I know,” I whispered. “I got your mail just yesterday. I realized you’ve sent it days ago. I’m so proud of you,” he said to me, my shoulders slumped with a small sigh immediately he mentioned it.“About that, do you think I should just hold off on it?!

    Next day. Tuesday.Maybelline. 10:30am.“How many packs Ma’am?!”“One, one pack” I muttered back in reply to the attendant at a restaurant just close the the hospital. Betsy was still asleep and I wanted to get her something to eat. The doctor says that she might be worse than she’s letting on. I remember telling her to take it easy and rest, I have no idea why she didn’t, now I’m super worried and super scared. “Isn’t that the host from love and laughter” “The Lady sleeping around with three men if not more?!” I heard whispers around me, before I knew it, two ladies walked up to me. “Ohh my God, she’s the one” one of them muttered as she raised her hands to my head and removed the scarf I used as disguise.“If I were you, I would never show myself in public again. Have you no decency?!”“How many marriages have you ruined. How do you feel being an home wrecker,” I spluttered at the attempt to speak and the hallway bursted out in taunting laughter.“I wonder why Grayson Nash is ye

    10:00pm.GraysonI exhaled deeply, turned off the bright light in the hallway as I stepped into the dimly lit room. I heard soft, tearful sniffles that stopped me in my tracks. Ofcourse she was just trying to be strong earlier. This is her dream and I know how much it meant to me. My gaze landed on Maybelline, wrapped tightly in the duvet, curled up as if she were trying to shield herself from the outside world.I moved closer, taking a seat beside her on the edge of the bed. “Baby,” I whispered, reaching out gently. I slowly peeled the duvet away, revealing her tear-streaked face. Her eyes, red and puffy, met mine for a brief second before she looked away, blinking back fresh tears.I brushed a stray strand of hair from her cheek, my thumb lingering against her skin, wishing I could absorb all the pain she was feeling. “Please don’t cry,” I murmured, my voice barely audible. “Talk to me.”She swallowed hard, her eyes fixated on the ceiling as if searching for words that would mak

    Later that Evening 7:30 PMGraysonAs I opened the door, I let out a sigh. It was Becky, Cole and Katrina."You guys didn’t have to come," I said to them. Earlier today, they insisted on handling things so I could stay with May. The situation today hadn’t been good PR for any of us."Of course we did," Becky replied as she stepped inside with the others. "We wanted to check on you and Maybelline. How’s she doing?""She’s asleep now," I said, shutting the door behind them. "Tyler came over with his daughter earlier, and I think that helped her feel a bit better.""Thank God," they murmured, settling into the living room. They sank into the sofa, a mix of concern and exhaustion on their faces."So, how did the meetings go?" I asked, easing into a chair. Cole exhaled. "Well, on my own end, we managed to reassure the owners of the Hilton account. They’re staying, as are our other major accounts. As long as Nash Tech is not affected, they are good,” I closed my eyes, releasing a deep

    Maybelline.2:00pm.-Betsy, please pick up your phone--I’m sorry, I didn’t want to lie to you either. I was going to tell you all about it , I promise--I know you’ve been completely honest with me and I haven’t quite reciprocated that. But please I want you do know that it doesn’t in anyway define the relationship that you and I have--I Cherish and care about our relationship, Betsy please pick my calls. I need to talk to you-I texted Betsy for the umpteenth time. Grayson had his driver drop me at home and I was almost going crazy from the lack of what to do. I kept calling and texting Betsy but she wasn’t replying to any of my text or calls. I exhaled deeply and dropped the phone on the dinning table. I buried my head in my palm and ruffled my hair frustratingly.“Argghhh!” I growled, I have cried and cried and I doubt there were any more tears in my eyes. I picked up my phone and scrolled through the posts again. When exactly does my life get better?! When I think I’ve got it a

    MaybellineNext day. Monday 8:30 am.“She’s the one,”“This is the first time I’m actually seeing her at the office”“Yeah, she looks so innocent behind would have known,”The moment I stepped into the office building, I sensed something was off. Conversations died down, replaced by hushed murmurs and sidelong glances. I brushed it off, it was probably just in my head, but as I walked further, the stares intensified, growing more obvious, more uncomfortable.I fumbled in my bag, pulled out my employee card, signed in, and headed toward the elevator. When the doors slid open, I stepped in—and everyone else instinctively shifted away, pressing against the walls. The silence was unsettling, and I could feel each and everyone of their gazes on me. When the elevator finally reached my floor, I stepped out, heart racing. What’s going on?I pushed open the door to my office. Betsy was already at her desk, I could not see her face but her posture looked stiff, her eyes darting up to meet min
