Days passed like a blur, Ramina was busy working to give her daughter a comfortable life. Sometimes, Percy will be rude to her but she chose to understand. All of it will be worth it once she gives her daughter a comfortable life.
As usual, Ramina woke up early in the morning. Except that today, her eyes were puffy because of crying her frustrations last night. She went directly to the bathroom and did her thing before going out wearing only her white robe.
Prescelle was still sleeping deeply in the bed when she glanced at her. Ramina went in front of the vanity mirror to apply some make-up on her face. For a moment, she busied herself watching her reflection in the mirror. It's been a long time since she saw her reflection, she didn't have the chance to because she was busy.
Ramina has a natural contoured hairline making her face look intimidating, angled eyebrows that made her look like a rich momma, angled cheekbones
Ramina roamed her eyes around to survey the environment. Everybody was busy minding their own business. There wasn't anything strange about them.Ramina sighed. "I guess, I was just overthinking."On the other side, the chef was seen in the kitchen cleaning up a table. A mischievous grin was plastered on her lips while doing so.'All people are so easy to fool, especially the workers of this company with a bunch of stupid people,' the chef said in her thoughts.A moment after, the earpiece she was wearing vibrated, a sign that someone was trying to contact her."[How is it going, Rabeya?]"The woman named Rabeya started to roam her eyes around to see if anyone was listening to her and when she noticed no one, she started to take off her apron."My job is done, Dad. The CEO will be gone soon," Rabeya whispered.
After the turmoil or let it be the 'incident' yesterday, Rabeya Tisha Llardo became the gossip of the employees in the company. Everywhere you depart, you will give attention to her name. Every time you will go out, you will notice her face in a newspaper naming names about her.Ramina did not foresee that the incident would go out that fast. She never assumed how momentous and well-known their CEO is."Ramina! Can I have some of your time, please? I just want to talk to you about the incident that happened yesterday." Ramina immediately stopped walking when Mrs. Fujimoto appeared beside her.Ramina glanced at the files she was holding before providing the lady an apologetic smile. "Can we do that later during our hiatus? I need to ratify these papers to Mr. Mattheios," she said.Mrs. Fujimoto nods her head understandingly. "Yes, right. Work first. See you later!" she uttered before leavi
The atmosphere between the two people inside the office was heavy as they converse about what happened yesterday at the company. Ramina, who was sitting comfortably in a chair, and Mrs. Fujimoto beside her were the ones talking.It was their hiatus when Ramina came to Mrs. Fujimoto's office just what they talked to earlier. Ramina told her what happened without neglecting even a sole detail. "I was at the cafeteria to order a lunch for Mr. Mattheios. While ordering, I noticed that our chef had changed. It was usually the old woman serving and cooking the foods, right?" Ramina uttered. Mrs. Fujimoto nodded. "Yes, it was Chef Amelia. She worked for our company for almost a decade now. She was out for work yesterday because her grandson got sick," she pinpointed. "How did that woman even enter the company?" Ramina confusedly raises a question.Mrs. Fujimoto shook her head in a manner that showed how unhappy she was. "I don't know either.
After that night, they became casual at work. Ramina could not deny the fact that something had changed with the way she usually sees him. For her, he is not just the CEO of their company because he is more than that when you get to know him better. Many people had misunderstood his actions. They see him as a ruthless man without a heart. But for her, he is not that kind of person. She defined him as a responsible man and not like a ruthless CEO. Ramina was seen in her office, sitting comfortably on a chair while facing her laptop on the desk. She has been busy for the past few days that she always forgot to check on her daughter. Good thing, Yaya Grace did not stop sending her updates about the deeds of her daughter.A moment after, a loud ring coming from the telephone filled the room. Ramina let out a sigh before bending over to get the telephone. "Hello, this is Ms. Montalvo speaking," she uttered. "Good day! I just want to set an appointment with Mr. Mattheios later at 9 AM.
"Where did I go wrong? I loved him with all my heart! I cared for him right! W-Why did he still abandon me? W-Why did he betray me?!" Ramina winced while being attentive to Nicole's rants about her boyfriend. Ramina knows that she's suffering an extreme heartbreak recalling that she loved her boyfriend so much. Watching her friend being like this because of a man made her furious for a reason. With a heavy heart and eyes filled with tears, Nicole crouched her head and sobbed. "Ramina, tell me... A-Am I not enough?" she weakly uttered.Maria Nicole and her ex-boyfriend had been in a relationship for almost two years. It was her longest relationship among the guys she dated before. She admit that she never saw this coming. Nicole believed that her boyfriend only love her and no one else. She stayed faithful to her partner regardless of what they had gone through in their lives. But she wasn't expecting him to do this in return for all the goodness she showed to him. He dated a girl...
Upon the realization, Ramina immediately stood up and greeted her boss. "H-Hello. I didn't know you were here," Ramina uttered. Ramina looked down when she felt her daughter pulling the hem of her shirt. "Mommy . . ." "Is that your daughter?" Percy asked. He wasn't surprised to know about that but there's something in him that somehow made him feel . . . disappointed.Ramina looked at him and smiled. "Ah, yes. This is Prescelle, my daughter," she said, gently pulling her daughter in front of her. "Prescelle, baby . . . Say 'hi' to Mr. Mattheios," Ramina whispered.Prescelle hid in between her mother's leg. "Mommy . . ." She pouted. Ramina let out an awkward chuckle. "Prescelle is a shy kid. I'm sorry," she said. Percy looked at her. "No, it's okay. I'm sorry if I'm making you uncomfortable. I just wanted to confirm if it was you because I want to say something," he seriously stated. Ramina looked at her daughter once again before looking back at him. "Yes, what is it?" Percy c
Biting her lip, Ramina didn't know what to do now because of embarrassment. She had been watching her daughter being carried by her boss since earlier. Until then, Ramina still could not believe what was happening. She didn’t expect it to be possible! The two just kept walking as she followed them from behind.Ramina swallowed her senses as she listened to her daughter's stories to her boss. She says a lot about her toys, the place she wants to go, and her dreams when growing up."Daddy, you know . . . I-I want to be like Mommy when I grow up. I want to be strong like her. Mommy is strong, isn't she?"Ramina let out a deep sigh. She felt a little happiness in her heart. Slowly, a sincere smile carved on her lips as she looked at her daughter. "I think so too, Prescelle." She heard his boss whisper to her daughter. Her cheeks only grew hotter because of what she heard. Until she could no longer cope and immediately covered the distance between them to hopefully take her daughter. "Pr
"Ezekiel! You son of a bitch!" When Ezekiel heard the voice of his friend thundered inside the room, he immediately laugh out loud. He was there in Percy's office, he went inside without knocking beforehand. Percy on the other hand was gone furious. His eyebrows almost met each other and his eyes were dark and daring. The funny thing is that Ezekiel could almost see the smoke coming from Percy's nose and ears because he was churning with anger. He exaggeratingly gasped and covered his mouth. "Aren't you pleased to see me, my friend?" said Ezekiel as he put his hand down from his mouth. Percy rolled his eyes and went back to his seat. He unconsciously stood up when he saw Ezekiel in front of him. He almost lost his cool and senses. "What the fuck are you doing here?" Percy bluntly uttered. Ezekiel mocked him and chuckled before sitting on the chair in front of Percy's desk. Percy glared at him. "Did I tell you to sit down?" Ezekiel just stuck out his tongue to tease him more. "
