LOGINMelanie mock gasped. “Were you eavesdropping? That bit very polite, is it?”.Liam shrugged. “They weren’t being polite either. I saw you standing alone at the party and I wanted to be sure if it really was you so I walked over but before I could squeeze myself through the crowd to where you were, I saw Linda walk up to you. I reasoned that it probably would take so much time for you two to converse so I stayed close by. I couldn’t hear what you two were saying but it seemed to be getting pretty heated so I moved closer and then Linda’s mother came. Why were they asking so much questions?”.“Apparently, they want to make sure that I’m not a horrible person that came into their lives to ruin it, or something. Mrs. Thorne believes that I’m a super fan of Linda and got cosmetic procedures to look like her and then I found a way to infiltrate her life by working for her future husband. They’re just being insane and I was honestly too tired and annoyed to address them the way I should hav
The silence that ensued between then as Linda’s mother made her way towards them made the air awkward and stilted. Then, the hostess arrived at where they stood, a regal woman with perfectly coiffed hair and a haughty expression.Melanie felt even more uncomfortable now that Linda’s mother was in the picture as she was rumored to be quite opinionated and rude. The beautiful older woman didn’t look anything like Linda but when she opened her mouth, Melanie could clearly see where Linda’s vicious temper stemmed from.“Who is this pretty little thing?”, The woman, Lorraine Thorne said, giving Melanie an inquiring once-over. “You must be quite the ardent fan if you got so much procedures to look like my baby girl. It’s too bad you didn’t quite recreate it properly”. And lowering her voice into a quiet whisper, she added, “My daughter’s not this fat. With that she burst into loud laughter and Melanie felt color rush up her cheeks as she looked around to see if anyone had heard what the w
As soon as Calvin dropped her off with a kiss on the forehead and drove off, Melanie excitedly called her best friend, Erin to tell her about the budding relationship between her and her boss, Calvin. As she narrated the details of her date, see noticed that Erin was getting less and less enthusiastic about the point of conversation. After Melanie was done, Erin finally spoke, “Mel, are you sure about this? He’s engaged,” she said.Melanie sighed, “Calvin had made it clear that he and Linda are not into each other. Plus, he’s asked me on a proper date.”“Do you really believe that though? Remember what you told me about Linda when she came by the office? You said it seems dlike she really was in love with him as I told you not to get yourself mixed up in it. No matter how it ends, and we both know how it might end, you’re going to end up losing. They’re actually engaged to be married and you'll become the girl that he’s cheating on his fiancée with. I’m glad to see that you’re datin
Melanie sat at her desk, she had been staring blankly at her computer screen for hours, trying to get some work done, but her mind kept drifting to Calvin. It had been a week since their kiss, and she couldn’t stop thinking about him. They hadn’t gone out again due to their busy schedules, but she couldn’t wait to see him again.She had been in a daze ever since her boss, Calvin, had kissed her after their date last week. She couldn’t shake the feeling that something had changed between them, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on what it was. She had always had a bit of a crush on Calvin, but she never thought he would be interested in her. He was rich, successful, and engaged to a supermodel, after all. But the kiss had changed everything. It had been soft and gentle, but it had ignited a fire inside of her that she couldn’t ignore.As she sat there lost in thought, her phone rang. She looked at the caller ID and saw Calvin’s name. Her heart skipped a beat as she answered the ph
Melanie got down from the taxi and patted down any creases in her navy blue chiffon top and black palazzo bottoms as Leila paid for the ride. As they opened the door and walked in, Melanie was surprised to see the employees running around and doing their various work with twice the speed and efficiency. Leila chuckled. “It seems the CEO called earlier about coming in today. That’s why they’re being so diligent”.Melanie turned to her. “The CEO? That’s Mr. Sinclair’s father?”.“Yeah. He comes once in a while to check up on things. He refused to hand everything over to Calvin since he isn’t dead yet. Sometimes he gives a warning of his coming or he comes unannounced. I think today is one of the days where he decided to inform beforehand”.“Then I should probably go up and stay working. Who knows when he’ll get here”. With that, Melanie bid Leila goodbye with a kiss on the cheek and hurried to the elevator.Hours passed by and she was busy reading and replying to emails and redirec
Melanie had just gotten to work and settled on her chair to start checking through urgent emails when the elevator doors opened and a glamorously dressed young woman stepped out into the small hallway. She was tall and slender, with long, wavy blonde hair and piercing blue eyes that seemed to look right through her and Melanie can’t help but feel intimidated by her presence. She rose from her seat as the lady walked towards her and she was stunned when she saw closely how beautiful she was and was even more stunned at the resemblance they shared. The lady seemed taken aback upon seeing her too but she quickly schooled her features and curled her lips into a small smirk as she gave Melanie an obvious once-over and Melanie couldn’t help feeling self-conscious in her navy blue chiffon shirt and black suit pants.“Vinnie must have missed me quite a lot of he felt he had to hire a low budget lookalike to stay at his side everyday”.Melanie couldn’t help the scowl that crept up her face
