Going back, Emerald is now at the office reviewing and polishing the script she will be delivering on national television. However, a few people went on her, seated across the chair, feeling giddy. “Emerald!” Said by her friends at work. Celine and Dion are her best colleagues, the people she's always with most of the time. “You're keeping a secret to us!” Celine affirmed. Her attention remained on the script. “What secret? I'm busy right now.” “Huh! It's no longer a secret because it has been broadcast nationwide,” Dion butted in. “Look. There's an article between you and Carlos. You know he's my crush! Ouch, did my best friend just have the eye of the love of my life?” She overly reacted, faking tears in her eyes whilst her iPad was shown to her. Emerald immediately grabbed the iPad and saw the headline. It was about her and Carlos at the volunteering project. Pictures of them were scattered online under the tree whilst Carlos is looking at her. For some people, they would think
Same group, same campaign, same people. Everyone stood in front of Sanders Company, awaiting for Juan Sanders’ arrival. His formal campaign continued as usual regardless of what happened. The cunning man turned the disaster into getting public sympathy and his presidential candidate percentage soared high because of it. “Everyone, gathered around!” Said by the campaign manager Ruth, a loyal follower of Juan Sanders and a volunteer, and part of the foundation established under the Sanders.Emerald took a step forward. She volunteered for a special project they will be doing for abandoned old aged people at a home care. As her heart is close to those broken people, Emerald didn't think twice but to participate. “We will explain everything first before we head to the home for the aged.” Ruth asserted. Volunteering isn't new to her. It has always been deeply rooted inside her heart as if she was made for it, honoring every person and loving humanity with all her heart. She's been part
Campbell family went to Sanders manor to physically check how the running for presidential candidate is doing. Thank God, he's doing alright, otherwise, Aileen would fumble without getting what she wanted. “We're so glad to see you well.” Aileen expressed her deepest concern towards Juan Sanders. Her husband, James Campbell, noticed that Juan Sanders isn't in a good condition. He was awry, perhaps because of the people who are making fun of him online. Emerald was sitting silently beside Jude silently, observing everyone with a heavy guilt inside her heart. Aileen drifted her gaze at her daughter. “Didn't I tell you to look out for your father in law? It is your job to make sure he's safe! I already clarified it to you a million times!” Aileen affirmed, looking for someone to blame. She nibbled her lower lip whilst she secretly clenched her fist. “It's out of my control, mom.” “That's enough,” James Campbell said. “It's no one's fault here. If there is someone to question, it's
Third Person's Point of View A stockpile of papers greeted Jude as soon as he came back from his office. He stressfully massaged his forehead and closed his eyes a bit after signing and reviewing paper works handed to him by his secretary. He paused for a while. He's been doing a lot of work lately and his mental state has become unstable. Not to mention that he's the president of their company now that his father decided to run for presidency this year. He thought he's just a man with ambition, but Jude's father proved him wrong. Who would've thought about him getting the highest rating for the presidential election through surveys and polls? As Jude was enjoying his free time alone, the door creaked open and his secretary, Antonette, came rushing inside. “I think you need to see this sir!” Antonette affirmed as soon as she opened the television. Countless news about the explosion at the campaign site came up. The first thing that came to his mind was Emerald. He immediately sto
Third Person's Point of View Various people are scattered around the streets with banners on their hands along with the volunteers disseminating magazines and newspapers that have a person’s name in it. The official start of Juan Rivera Sanders' campaign began today. As expected, a lot of people volunteered for his sake. His image is outstanding, and a lot of people are admiring him. As a renowned businessman turned into a politician, he captured the hearts and minds of the people of the country. He served as the chairman of Sanders Company, built it through his blood, sweat, and tears. Later on, he passed his duty to his one and only living son. Juan Rivera Sanders is a well-known public figure. Back when he wasn't in politics yet, he has proven a lot in business, economy, and now, he's establishing his career in politics. As expected, a lot of people are expecting from him as the future president of the country. He is hailed as the epitome of perfection—a reason why he's blinded
Third Person's Point of View There was a strange feeling inside Emerald. It's her gut feeling that's stopping her from answering the phone. Nevertheless, she took the right thing and moved the phone into her ears. A heavy sigh came out, her hands trembling as she stride towards her vast sliding window. “You nearly killed me!” She bursted out in anger. Emerald couldn't contain the perplexity eroding inside her. Of course, what happened earlier still makes her think that everything that happened was just a dream! She combed her hair using her fingers, she sat down on her bed and moved the phone from her right hand to the left. Stressed—that’s what she felt the moment it came to her senses that it was her kidnapper's fault. Perhaps the liquor intake weighs impact but that doesn't mean what happened last time would slip in her mind. It almost cost her life, and she doesn't want to proceed with it anymore! The kidnapper chuckled. “Calm down, you're still alive. I made sure not to cro
