After lunch, Ramina went to Percy's office just like what he told her. "We are having a huge deal with the Gregor Company. I want you to have a work collaboration with Mrs. Fujimoto. Review the deal, revise the contract, and send it to me. I will work on it and present it on the board of directors. We need to do our best. Do you understand?" Ramina was listening intently, taking down notes on her laptop while Percy is discussing. "Are you listening to me?" Ramina stopped typing on her laptop and glanced at him. "Yes, why?" she asked in confusion. Percy's eyebrows furrowed. He leaned on his chair and crosses his arms. "You're literally busy typing whatever the hell is that on your laptop while I'm talking," he coldly said. Ramina was taken aback. "Uhm. . . I'm literally taking down notes on my laptop, boss." She blinked. Percy paused. "Oh. . ."Ramina pursed her lips to refrain herself from chuckling. That was kinda hilarious. She's often using her laptop whenever he's discussin
The night air was filled with laughter and music as Percy stumbled out of the celebration with his employees. The festivities had been joyous, and everyone had a bit too much to drink. As he walked towards his car, Percy realized he couldn't keep his thoughts to himself any longer. He fumbled for his phone, trying to dial Rabeya's number. His heart raced with a mix of excitement and anxiety.Finally, after a few attempts, he managed to call her. The phone rang a few times before Rabeya picked up, sounding a bit surprised by the late-night call."Boss? Is everything alright?" Rabeya asked with concern in her voice.Percy hesitated for a moment, feeling the effects of the alcohol making his thoughts blur. He took a deep breath and decided to be honest with her, no matter how awkward it might be."No, Ms. Montalvo, everything is not alright. I need to tell you something," Percy said, his words slurred slightly."Okay, go ahead," Rabeya replied, sensing that something was amiss."I... I d
As the sun dipped below the horizon, Percy and Rabeya found themselves at a cozy restaurant, sitting across from each other. The dim lighting and the soft music in the background created an intimate atmosphere. They both tried to maintain a sense of normalcy, but the unspoken tension hung in the air."So, how was your day?" Percy asked, trying to break the ice.Rabeya smiled, grateful for the attempt at light conversation. "It was busy, as usual. But it went well, thanks to your help with the tasks."He grinned, pleased to have made a positive impact. "Glad I could be of assistance. Teamwork makes the dream work, right?""Absolutely," she replied, and they shared a small chuckle.As the evening progressed, they delved into various topics, ranging from work-related matters to their personal interests. Each passing moment felt more comfortable than the last, and the unease they had felt at work slowly dissipated."I didn't expect all this to happen," Rabeya admitted, her gaze dropping t
The dimly lit office was heavy with tension as Percy stared at the evidence spread across his desk. A series of threatening messages, filled with malice, addressed to Rabeya, had been discovered, and Percy had managed to uncover the source of these vile messages - Zeus Amelio Ford. Percy's face tightened as he absorbed the information. His commitment to maintaining a safe and inclusive environment for his company's employees was unwavering.Without hesitation, he picked up the phone, calling an emergency meeting with the company's top executives, including Zeus himself.The mahogany door of the conference room swung open, and Zeus entered, his face a mask of bewilderment as he took in the stern faces that greeted him. Percy stood at the head of the table, his voice dripping with authority as he addressed Zeus, "Zeus Amelio Ford, you stand accused of sending death threats to one of our employees, Ramina. Is this true?"Zeus shifted uncomfortably, his eyes darting around the room before
The sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm orange glow across the cityscape as Ramina and Percy walked out of the office together. The weight of the day's work seemed to lift off their shoulders as they shared light banter, a bond growing stronger with each passing interaction. It had been weeks since the unsettling incident with Zeus, and amidst the challenges, something unexpected had blossomed between them.Ramina found herself drawn to Percy's strength and compassion, his unwavering support during her ordeal resonating deeply. And Percy, despite his initial reservations about forming personal connections at work, found himself captivated by Ramina's resilience and the genuine kindness she exuded.Their conversations began to extend beyond office matters, delving into their life stories, dreams, and aspirations. They were both surprised by the ease with which they opened up to each other, sharing not just their triumphs but also their vulnerabilities. Their connection grew de
One sun-drenched afternoon, the trio found themselves in a local park, drawn by the allure of the outdoors and the company they shared. Children's laughter resonated in the air, harmonizing with the pleasant rustling of leaves and the distant hum of a breeze. A picturesque tableau of families engrossed in picnics and lively play surrounded them.Percy, sitting cross-legged on the grass, watched as Prescelle's eyes flickered with curiosity at the sight of the swings.Ramina looked at her daughter when she notice her looking at the kids playing on the swings. "Prescelle, would you like to go on the swings?" Prescelle pursed her lips with a hint of shyness. "Maybe later, Mom."Percy leaned in, his eyes twinkling with an idea. "Prescelle, did you know that swings were invented ages ago by someone who was enchanted by the magic of play?"Prescelle looked at him, intrigued. "Really? Who invented them?"Percy flashed a playful grin. "It was none other than a brilliant inventor named Charles
"Ms. Montalvo."Ramina looked up when she heard a voice behind the door of her office. Thinking that it might be her officemate, she told her to come in."What's up?" Ramina uttered when she saw Danielle, one of her friends in the small company she works at.Danielle looked unhappy so Ramina immediately worry over her. "Are you okay?" Ramina asked.Danielle sighed and slowly walked towards her. She put a document on Ramina's table and motioned her to read it.Ramina on the other hand was so confused at first until she read what was in the document. "W-What is this?" Ramina stuttered after reading the paper. Her heartbeat is getting faster every moment and she feels like her chest is drowning.Danielle shook her head, getting frustrated. "I don't understand anything either. This matter will be discussed later before we leave," Dan
"Mommy, you were having a nightmare..." Prescelle pouted.Ramina gulped nervously. It felt like a sin especially that she dreamed of that!"I'm so sorry, baby... Did I disturb your sleep?" Ramina softly asked. She went closer to her daughter who is now sitting on the bed, adjacent to where she's laying.Prescelle nodded and softly gasp. "But it's okay, Mommy. I know you're tired from work... I will sleep now," Prescelle said, sleepiness is evident in her voice.Ramina sighed and guided her daughter to sleep. She laid her down on the bed and tugged the comforter on her body."Sleep tight, darling..." Ramina whispered."I love you... mommy..." Prescelle uttered before finally dozing off to sleep.Ramina just checked if her daughter is already asleep before going out of their room. She then went to the kit
