“You were so awesome yesterday,babe!!” Liz exclaimed,taking a sip out of the hot tea in her hand. “ I had no idea you have that fierce spirit in you.”
“The’s the tenth time you’ve said it since we woke up fifteen minutes ago Liz” Eddie smiled beautifully,contented she did something worth remembering. “You know,I’ve decided not to keep quiet anymore,you’ve motivated Liz,expect more.”
They both laughed,enjoying the cup of hot tea.
Eddie and Liz became friends when they were freshers in college,five years ago. It was such a funny experience when they met. Liz actually helped Eddie when she was being bullied by some ladies in her department. Eddie was so helpless then that Liz told her to always stay with her and since then,they’ve been friends,best of friends. After college,they decided to live together before deciding the next course. Liz studied business management in school and works at one of the business companies. While Eddie studied a general course and work as an assistant to the manager of the beverage company she works for,though she’s now jobless
Since they’ve met,Eddie’s dream is to become an actress in the nearest future,a famous one. “Why did you go to college instead of an acting school?” Liz has always asked but Eddie’s response was always the same, “There’s time for everything”she would say.
“What are you going to do?” I mean you’ve become jobless”Liz teased.
“I will go to that damn company today and I will give them a taste of my inner craziness” Eddie said,standing up from her seat.
“Show them what you got baby!” Liz exclaimed,supporting her friend.
…..
No one would have recognized her if not for her physique and her hair. She dressed differently and her demeanor was different too. She wore a pair of black baggy trousers and a pink crop top. She wore pink shoes too and her hair,it was fantastic. Her makeup and the shade she wore was so beautiful that she could be mistaken for a porcelain doll.
She cat walked majestically towards the building in front of her.
“Good morning everyone” She greeted without looking at anyone.
She head to the elevator and pushed the button to the first floor. Fortunately for her,she saw him right where he want him.
“Well,well,well…. Is this not the famous short man of this company” she whined,walking towards Mr James who left his mouth opened at the sight of the beautiful lady. He widened his eyes in shock as he realized who it was.
“And my infamous senior colleagues,I’m happy to see you”she smiled at the other three ladies who was on their chairs,eyes glued to the system.
They all turned to look at that lady whose voice sounds familiar to them. “Who is this…. Lady…. Eddie?”the blonde hair lady with freckles said.
“Yeah,yeah”she replied,walking towards her own desk. “Since I’m no more wanted here,I would like to pack my properties.”
Mr James and three ladies opened their mouth,bewildered by whatever is going on. The Eddie they know is a gentle girl and there’s no way she would dress like that.
“Guess,someone talked sense into you. You look good though” the second lady with brown wavy hair said.
“Well you look bad though. You’ve never been beautiful”Eddie replied nonchalantly while packing her properties.
“Wait what!!”they exclaimed.
Anyone of them would not have believed it if someone actually said Eddie did this,they definitely won’t believe it. Despite the fact that it was happening in front of them,they still found it unbelievable. The former Eddie was a gentle and naïve woman who could not tell if a man has feelings for her.
“And Mr James,you are just to ugly and short that it made me not notice you” She faced Mr James. “I gotta go now,my new boss is waiting for me. See you guys in hell” she added and walked out on them.
“Feels good”she murmured while entering the elevator. When she got to the first floor,she met a man who was waiting for the elevator. She didn’t noticed the man but the man noticed her.
“Eddie Hemsworth”the man called and she looked back.
She widened her eyes in shock, “Logan?”
......
She widened her eyes in shock as she glared at the familiar man in front of her. She didn’t expect to meet him here,not in this little beverage company anyways. “Is this really Logan?” She asked again to confirm she wasn’t daydreaming. Of course she knew she wasn’t daydreaming but she needs to confirm if her sight isn’t blurry besides she just did something unexpected.
“Eddie Hemsworth. Wow!! You’ve really changed,I mean look at you,you never dress like this in college” Logan teased,grinning ear to ear.
“I actually dressed like this to get my revenge” She replied.
“Revenge on your boyfriend!! Wow,you’ve changed!!”Logan replied,looking astonished.
“It was my boss actually. I was fired”Eddie answered him,rolling her eyes at him.
That was what their friendship entails. They talk about minor things. Logan was the most popular guy in Harvard University then. He was known for his looks and wealth. But he befriended Liz and Eddie during their second year even though it was just a random relationship.
“Gimme your contact,let’s talk some other time.”
And that was the end.
It was always like that with Logan. He never had time to visit them back them in college. “Let’s do this some other time. I’m busy.” That was always his statement whenever he was asked to hangout with them. And eventually it led to the fall of their friendship.
She left the company momentarily after exchanging contacts with him,feeling lightheaded.
…..
“You met Logan!!?” Liz yelled at Eddie who broke the unexpected news to her.
“He hasn’t change a bit and I guess he’s still the busy bee we know” Eddie replied,arranging her clothes. She picked up the clothes she wore out today,remembering what had happened today. She’s jobless now,she thought.
“What’s wrong?” Liz noticed her sudden change of emotion. “Is something the problem?”
“I’m jobless now,you know.”
Liz went closer,initiating a hug. She knew the stress she passed through before getting a job,she knew she was guilty and Liz will be the only one taking care of their necessities.
“Don’t worry about….”
Eddie’s phone rang,cutting Liz off. She picked up her phone,surprised the caller is using a private number.
“Hello” She whispered.
“Is this Miss Hemsworth?” The caller asked.
“Yes… Who am I speaking with?” Eddie replied back,scratching her neck curiously.
“This is Logan,you fool. Can’t you recognize my voice?” Logan teased over the phone,his chuckles filling Eddie’s ear.
“Oh,I didn’t know you would call so I didn’t expect it” She replied.
“I don’t know if you guys are busy. I’m holding a party at my brother’s Villa. Wanna come?” He inquired.
Eddie glanced over at Liz who seem angry because Logan didn’t ask of her.
“I don’t think Liz would love to be at the party” Eddie responded.
“Party.”
Liz sprang up at the word ‘party’ she heard. She immediately collected the phone from Eddie. “Don’t mind her. We will be there in Jiffy. Just send the address.”
“Liz!! I didn’t know you were there. Long time no see. Just send your address,I will send a driver” He replied Liz who was astonished. She kept her excitement,murmuring a thanks before hanging up.
“His driver is going to come and pick us. I can’t believe I’m going to be drive by someone in an expensive car. Oh God!!!!” Liz exclaimed,glaring at Eddie who was smiling sheepishly.
“Aren’t you drinking too much Eddie?” Liz asked with a concerned face. She’s almost drunk too but she’s still sober than Eddie. Eddie looked lifeless and her cheeks were red,this is the first time Eddie is going to drink more than 5 cups of alcohol.“I’m not drunk” Eddie replied babyishly,scratching her head with her hand. She took one more drink from the waiter,drinking it in a gulp.“Says every drunk person” Leah took the cup from her,telling the waiter not to give her anymore drinks. She glanced over at Liz who was trying her possible best to stay sober. She don’t easily get drunk,she thought.“I thought this was a graduation party but damn your friends are just…just…too chaotic” Liz ranted. “ Where’s Logan?”She stood up from her seat glaring at Logan who seem so immersed in whatever he’s doing. He’s dancing with one of Leah friends who kept throwing him seductive looks. She staggered to them dragging Logan from her. “Leah,Logan is drunk” She called Leah who was busy over her phon
She yawned provocatively as she felt a sharp pain shot through her head. She tossed and turned on the bed before realizing she was naked. She jolted out of the bed,using the bed cover to cover her nakedness. She let out a yelp when she noticed she was in a different room,a man's room to be precise."Where am I?" She asked inwardly but then her gaze shifted to the window side. She widened her eyes in shock when she saw a shirtless man by the window."Eddie! What have you done?" She asked herself inwardly trying to recall whatever happened the night before but she couldn't remember anything. She only recalled dancing and drinking with Liz and Leah's friends. She must have gotten drunk,she thought.She saw her dress,panties and her bra on the floor. Her heart squeezed in pain as she thought of whatever that might have happened."It was a mistake anyway" she said inwardly but inside her,she knew she was boiling with rage. She blamed herself for everything,she shouldn't have gotten drunk w
She stopped in her tracks probably angry."Why are you calling me Oldie?" She asked before shifting her gaze to her arms. He was still grabbing her hand which made her even mad. "Let go of my hand."Leonard smirked at her stubbornness before letting go of her hand. He placed her hand on the door,leaning forward to her. He should play with her,he thought.Eddie could feel his hot breath on her skin and it made her skin itchy. She frowned as he leaned forward to her,his eyes on her. She could smell his cologne and it made her ponder on why he smells so good."You don't remember me,do you?" She heard him asked. He had shift back from her but was in front of her."Why should I remember you? Have we met before?" Eddie couldn't help but ask rudely. He took advantage of her drunkenness and more worst,he saw her nakedness."I'm really going crazy" she screamed inwardly."I told you to stop flirting with old men like him,especially not someone that looks like this" he uttered sarcastically. "I
After they got home, the awkwardness was yet to ease. Did they really end up in the same boat? Eddie kept wondering why Liz, the chatterbox kept mum about where she slept last night. She was about to speak when she heard Liz's voice.“I slept in a stranger's room yesterday and guess what he couldn’t even touch me. Am I that disgusting to look at” Liz blurted out as soon as they entered their apartment.Eddie shook her head vigorously, smacking Liz’s head playfully. Here she’s sad about sleeping with a random man she slapped at the bar, two days ago and Liz is annoyed because…. because she didn’t have sex with the man she met just yesterday. Liz is crazy!“Am I not good looking? He’s good looking too but he didn’t even take a glance at me….” “You are crazy! C. R. A. Z. Y. You are really crazy, Liz” Eddie flared up. “You are really becoming unbelievable by the day and you are sad because he didn’t…. touch you?”“Why are you getting worked up, Eddie? This isn’t the first time I would sa
Leonard smirked as he flipped through the pages of the document he was holding.“So… she’s from Korea? Why is she using another identity then? I really can’t believe she’s Oh Ha Na” Min Ho tried his best not to rack his brain but the more he stares at the file, the more befuddled he becomes.“I’m sure there’s a reason, Min Ho” Leonard smiled slyly, folding his arms lazily before resting his back on the chair comfortably. “Let’s use her as a bait for now. You confirmed she was just sacked right? I’m sure she will consider my offer.”Leonard knew he had met the young lady somehow some years back but he wasn’t certain when and where he met her. But now that he has confirmed her real identity, he will make sure to get what he wants. To him, it's killing two birds with a stone but to his assistant, it's a disaster that would definitely lead to something bad in the future.“I don’t think she will consider your offer Leonard” Min Ho crossed his arms. “Who in the world would want to be yo
The fresh aroma of dumplings filled the air as she stepped into the local restaurant. She closed her eyes, allowing the alluring aroma take over her thoughts. A memory she clearly don’t want to remember crawled back to her despite her having her eyes closed. She smiled bitterly, opening her eyes. She spotted an empty seat and walked to the seat. She took out her phone, texting the address to someone she’s probably waiting for.“Ma'am, should I get you something?”She raised her head.“I would call you after the person I’m waiting for arrives” she smiled at the waitress.After thirty minutes of waiting, the person she was waiting for finally arrived. She saw the arrogant look that creased his face as he spot her. She gulped down her spit, staring blankly at the man that was walking towards her. He was putting on a black office suit and a white inner shirt. He was dainty and the arrogant look on his face made him look hot. Eddie was sure everyone diverted their attention to him. She coul
Warning: Mature Content! Mature Content! (Not to explicit).A day has passed after since Eddie met with Mr Lee. She has been sitting home all day, waiting for Liz to come back home. She had tried her possible best to look for a job, it just seems like there’s no vacancy in the whole city. She thought about accepting the man's offer but it’s just that she found it awkward to work with the man. Now that she thought of this, she didn’t even ask of his name despite him knowing so much about her. She glanced at the wall clock, surprised it’s already six in the evening. She stood up groggily from the sofa, yawning at the same time.She walked to the kitchen, ready to prepare dinner. Liz had really been of help to her since she lose her supposed job. No matter what, Liz will always be a big part in her life.She washed the dishes first before gathering all the available ingredients in the kitchen. It has been long since she ate home made food and preparing dinner, however, reminded her of he
Leonard was just driving back from the airport to his villa when he heard his phone chimed. He ignored it thinking it might be Min Ho whom he just accompanied to the airport. Now that Min Ho is gone, it is now time for him to carry out his devious plan to get Eddie to work with him. After finding out her real identity, no one knew while he want her to be his assistant just for a month when he’s sure they might probably not meet again in this life. He heard his phone ring and was surprised when he saw that the caller was the person he was thinking about. He answered the call, putting the phone on loud speaker. The caller was silent for some seconds before muttering some words.“Say whatever you want to say” he said calmly, smiling at the same time. Was she calling to check on me? It was not a funny joke but he kept smiling.“Err, Mr Lee, I….”“Call me Leonard” he cut her off curtly and calmly. Unknown to him, what he said made Eddie's heart twitch. In reality, her face reddened and sh
