LOGINAmara’s POVWhen I got to the office the next morning, something felt off. People kept staring at me; some spoke to themselves as I passed. They even gave me a pitiful look, which felt strange.I was not the most popular person in the office, but being in a relationship with Damian made people know me, and that was why the sudden interest felt strange and uncomfortable, like being pulled into a conversation I had not been invited to.Questions started coming in bits and pieces, indirect at first and then more obvious, and I kept hearing the same thing repeated in different ways—something about a message, something about Damian, something posted anonymously in the group chat.So I took out my phone and entered the group immediately.I stepped aside and checked, scrolling until I found it, and the moment I read the message, my chest tightened slightly. Who did this? My mind went straight to one person.Lily.I paused.Then I pushed the thought away almost immediately, because suspicion
Lily’s POVI was looking for where to clear my head when I spotted Damian in a bar with a glass loosely held in his hand while his gaze remained fixed on nothing in particular, as though everything around him had faded into the background and no longer mattered.For a moment, I didn’t move, I just stood there watching him quietly, he looked so disoriented, I have never seen him in this state before.So this was what heartbreak looked like on him.I walked over and took the seat beside him.“Rough day”He glanced at me briefly before sighing and looking away again, his voice carrying a tired honesty that he didn’t bother hiding.“At this point I don’t even know what it is anymore” he answered.I didn’t rush him or console him I just let him drink. Then listened to him complain and spoke gently, listened more than I talked, and gave him exactly what he needed to hear, just enough to make him continue talking and drinking.Time passed without either of us keeping track, and the alcohol g
Amara’s POVThe next day was fully packed.From the moment I got to work everything moved quickly and there was barely any time to think about anything else.The deal with Tuo Tech was finalized successfully and the voice activating system was delivered to the company warehouse without any issues.A meeting was held immediately after to discuss how the product would be introduced into the market and how best to promote it.Everyone had something to say.Ideas were shared, strategies were debated, and adjustments were made until it was clear what direction the company wanted to take and the next step was marketing.When the meeting ended Mr Adrian called Isabel and I aside.He gave us a separate task to develop detailed marketing strategies that would stand out and bring in results and asked us to submit before the end of the day.It was a lot of work.But there was no room for complaints.Isabel and I got straight into it.We barely spoke about anything unrelated to work.Time passed
Amara’s POVWhen I got to the place, Isabel was already seated, casually eating ice cream like nothing in the world could bother her, and for a moment I envied how easy everything seemed for her.I walked in and sat beside her. She ordered for me too, and we started talking about random things, nothing serious, just light conversation that helped me forget everything that had been weighing on my mind since morning.Then suddenly Damian walked in. He loved ice cream after a long day at work. He practically influenced me to start eating ice cream.He saw me and I saw him, and neither of us spoke to each other like we were complete strangers.There was so much to say but at the same time nothing came out.He walked to the counter, ordered his ice cream, and when it came he took it and left.I finally looked away.Isabel was also watching the whole thing and turned to me.“So how are things going between you two”I exhaled slowly before answering.“He hasn’t called since then and I haven’
Amara’s POVWhen Mr Adrian came to work, he requested to see me. I already knew it was about my phone, so I went to his office, still embarrassed about this morning, and honestly, I didn’t even know how to act around him anymore.I knocked, and when he said, “Come in,” I opened the door slowly and stepped inside. He was seated, calm as always, like nothing had happened.“Good morning, sir,” I said, trying to sound normal.“Morning,” he replied, his tone steady.He picked up my phone from his desk and stretched it toward me. “You left this,” he said.I walked closer and collected it carefully. “Thank you, sir… and I’m sorry for the inconvenience,” I said.He leaned back slightly in his chair before replying, “Be careful with drinking next time.”“I will,” I answered quickly.There was a brief silence, and I turned to leave, thinking that was all, but just as I reached the door...“Amara.”I paused and turned back. “Yes, sir?”He looked at me for a second before speaking. “My relationsh
Lily’s POVI found Damian sitting alone, and he didn’t even notice me at first, which alone told me that something was wrong because Damian was never this distracted.“…Damian?” I called softly as I approached him.He looked up immediately, forcing a small smile. “Lily. You’re here.”I tilted my head slightly as I studied his face carefully. “You don’t look okay. Is something wrong?”He hesitated for a moment before answering. “I’m fine,” he said.I didn’t believe him, not even for a second.So I sat down beside him, leaning slightly closer as I spoke in a gentle tone. “You can tell me… I’ll listen.”He stayed silent for a while, his expression unreadable, and then finally he sighed. “It’s Amara.”My heart skipped, but I kept my expression calm.“What about her?” I asked.“We… took a break.”I almost smiled, but I quickly controlled myself, forcing my face into one of surprise instead as I widened my eyes slightly. “A break? Why?”“She’s been acting different lately,” he said with a f
