Fifteen: He’s an orphan
“Dada!” My eyes immediately widened when I heard that loud shout as soon as we entered the place.
Even before I could ask, the man beside me hurriedly attended to the kid approaching us. I froze right at my place. Is my intuition right all this time? Is he hiding a child? But why in an orphanage? “Dada, where were you? There are more of us already!” The boy smiled widely in front of Cornac. Bewildered, I took my cellphone out of my pocket and simply took a picture of them. I don’t know why I did that, but maybe I’m just worried I won’t see Cormac’s smile again. “Really? If that’s the case, I know you’ll be happier,” he said, smiling. I tried to ignore what I saw, but I also couldn’t help but smile. The man has this side. He’s not the Stoney that I used to knRelated chapters
Reportedly Dating Sixteen: Meet Sanya
“Everything’s doing fine, sister. It’s great that there are more children here,” Cormac said enthusiastically as he ate one after the other. I have done nothing but wonder. Is Cormac Carter really what I see now? More than what I found out, he wasn’t really his parents’ biological son. It is also surprising that he has such a personality. He seems so different. But then, even though my resentment towards the man was rude, I still couldn’t help but be happy for him. I may be a little out of place, but I ignored that. The nuns here are kind, so as the children. I just don’t know why I can’t socialize with them. Maybe, it’s about the truth. The fact that Cormac isn’t really a Carter makes me even sadder. “I am glad that they are at home. . .” Cormac continued. “The anniversar
Reportedly Dating Seventeen: The contract
“Avery, you can’t do that! We need to please Mr. Carter because we are the ones who asked for his favor.” I hung my head low. I have so much to say, but I know that I shouldn’t do anything else at the end of the day but follow. “I am so done pleasing that jerk!” I sighed. I know I don’t have the right to complain, especially in front of the EIC herself, but I can’t feel used to it. Ma’am Cassandra will surely understand. Also, we’ve been together for a few years, so I’m sure she already knows my habit. “A little more patience, Av. This will be paid off once we win the AFA.” Somehow, those words calmed me down. That’s really what I’m holding on to. Some journalists are even noisier on their respective social media sites. Most of them are already starting to shoot the documentary and are already m
Reportedly Dating Eighteen: Terms and conditions
"What nonsense is that?" I couldn't help but sigh at the man in front of me, causing the few people there to look slightly at us. "The terms and conditions are in this envelope. You'll have your signature here, just like what our EIC told us. We will provide the contract–" "I won't sign that." The man just shrugged. He even managed to swallow the food in front of him. This will be a hard drive. All my patience was exhausted in the nooks and crannies of this man's personality. I took a deep breath — over and over, before turning into the man. "What do you want? You clearly told my boss that you are already accepting the offer, but you will not sign this 'contract'? How low can you go, Mr. Carter? This is just unprofessional!" He folded his hands and laid them on the table before looking at me. "How low can I go. . . Avery, how low can I go for you?" I froze in my place, I didn't even
Reportedly Dating Nineteen: In need of memories
I was struck Ma’am Cassandra’s voice rose the next morning when I went to BSE. She’s been screaming for a while now but my eyes are just blank. I still can’t imagine how it’s possible to deal with Cormac today. “I really don’t get Gelo. Yesterday, we were just talking about plan. They are okay with the schedule. But now they’ll suddenly cancel it?! Those people really don’t have a word to say.” Her mouth does not stop. She must be really annoyed that the team won’t whip us today. Since there is already a contract, the process is continuous. After the interview, there will be a meeting for the shooting of the documentary, discussing all the points, reminders, etc. I have already made a report about what I found out earlier, and I have passed it on to them. It will be easy for scriptwriters to fix everything. It won’t be long for maybe a month or two before
Reportedly Dating Twenty: Place of memories
“Macky!” I quickly chased the man in front. He turned slightly away from our distance, but that wasn’t enough for me to see his face completely. The light was so dazzling that I didn’t know where it probably came from. “Hey, what! This is exhausting! Wait for me, oh!” I never stopped running, even though I had tripped a few times and almost dropped on the road. I felt a lot of headaches but I didn’t take it. I was determined to chase the man; I was determined to catch up with him. “What are you doing?” He quickly mimicked when the two of us were face to face. I can’t see his face. . . It was dim and dazzling, but I heard in his voice how annoyed he was. “Here. . . it’s yours! ” I don’t understand, but I gave him a picture. I don’t know and I can’t see it properly b
Reportedly Dating Twenty-one: Brother
Jac Taylor’s point of view I smiled when I saw that message from Avery. She’s back to being tender, even though we fought a few times about the project she was doing with Cormac. That guy. . . how long will he harass my sister? It’s been two hours since I received the message but only now that I can reply to it. I’ve been very busy at my office and I missed the cellphone at home. I got home by lunch for Jacques and will just continue working at home as usual. Jacques studies in the morning, so that’s the time I chose for work. That way I can pick him and go home at the same time. This child. . . he’s my everything. Even though there are things I didn’t get and overcome before, I’m glad I have Jacques. I am no longer looking for anything else and I am grateful for what I have now. “Dad, where’s Tita Ry?” I
Reportedly Dating Twenty-two: Jac meets Mac
Jac Taylor’s point of view “Good day! This is C.C Cars— ” “Connect this call to Cormac Carter now.” I said sharply to the woman who answered the call. She was obviously suppressed, but I ignored it. I am determined by what I do. If I can’t reach Avery, I’ll direct what to say to him. It’s been an hour since I left my parents ’house. In a matter of minutes, I will reach Avery’s place. I just wish I wasn’t too late. I don’t know why until now. Avery’s phone still couldn’t be contacted. If before it was just continuous ringing, now it is actually closed. “He’s not here—” “Just connect this fucking call to his mobile. I’m Avery’s sister, and she’s with him. I have to go to them! ” I don’t even know what
Reportedly Dating Twenty-three: Diary
Back to Avery Taylor’s point of view “You don’t need to worry about the place. I know the owner. Our room is next to each other and I’ll give you my keycard in case something happened— ” “Come on, come on.” I confronted the man. He just kept walking until we got to the H&H Hotel. He seems to be organized about his plan while I have to find the reason we are here in the very place where I grew up. I trust this jerk. Even though he is a stone man, I have already proven that he will not betray me, push me to do bad things. He’s good, but sometimes I just want to crush his face. “Can you please explain to me first what is happening and what we are doing here? I work for a company. I need to report all my actions to them and I also have a family that worries about me. ” I continued. It was even a bit amplified, so I got the attention of the few
