“Olivia, I am going to take a break for a while. Can you handle it?” The friendly bartender asked her and she nodded with a smile. She loved the new work environment. Everyone was so friendly while the people back in the club were always rude to her. She thought that the reason might have been that she was a stripper and was profusely judged because of that. They may have concluded that she was just a money-hungry gold digger. Despite her trying hard to mingle, they distanced themselves. She could not control people’s perceptions though. She gave up eventually after they gave her a cold shoulder. Here, her coworkers were very friendly. It was her fifth day at work, and she was already comfortable and adjusted. Three bartenders handled the people at night. It was not a big bar but an average sized. She was glad that it was not crowded like the club she previously worked at. She was busy serving drinks to the customers when she heard a few taps on the counter. The music was softly p
“I am going, mom.” She smiled kissing her mother’s cheek and went out of the apartment. She was in a really good mood. Not only she had secured a job, but she also convinced her manager to give her an advance salary. The monthly rent was due and she had been postponing the owner of the apartment for weeks. Now, she did not have to worry about that. Her mother’s chemo would also continue smoothly. Last time, it was delayed. She reached the bar smiling to herself. After so many days, she felt such pleasant feelings. “Hey, Rose.” She greeted her coworker cheerfully. “Hi Olivia, you seem so happy today,” Rose commented. She had hardly seen her smile except when she greeted the customers. It had been hardly a week since they met, but she liked the innocent girl so much. What she could guess was that she had been through a lot. “Yeah. Things are finally going well.” She said with a smile and took her uniform to change into the changing room. Before she could go inside, the manager appear
“What did you say?” He asked with clenched teeth. His expression turned harder. She saw how he did not care about getting wet under the rain anymore. The umbrella was long forgotten as he unconsciously lowered it and grabbed it tightly in his hand. Now, both of them were drenched to the core as the heavy rain kept pouring all over them, not caring about anything. She wished she was as carefree as nature at that moment. “I said what you heard.” She spat and turned around. She was not in the mood to argue with him in the middle of the street with people watching like some movie scene was unfolding before them. Before she could get away, he grabbed her wrist and turned her around. “Nobody” He whispered angrily, “Nobody has ever disrespected me like that. I thought losing your job would make you see sense, but no! You are going to regret this.” He glared deep into her eyes making her lose her breath for a second. There were so many emotions—not so-pleasant emotions—in his eyes. She wa
"Doctor, is my mom alright?” His mother had been admitted to the hospital. She started having pain again and started bleeding. She just had her chemo three days ago. Olivia could not understand what the hell happened. “Please come to my office.” Dr. Robert had a serious expression on his face. Olivia followed him with her heart beating harshly. She had been crying non-stop. “Please take a seat.” The doctor told her gently when she kept standing and looking at him worriedly. “I want you to listen to me carefully. What I am going to tell you might shock you.” He said in all seriousness making her take a few deep breaths. She was worried to the core. Why was he behaving that way with her? What was wrong with her mother? “Your mother has entered stage four of cancer.” He told her regretfully. She looked at him dumbfounded. What did he just say? “M-my m-mom has, w-what?” She could not think straight. She just stared at the doctor blankly. She felt like the world had fallen upon her an
There are times when one has to go through the agonizing pain of waiting impatiently for someone—he had faced those situations rarely in his life. It was one of those rare times when he sat by the huge window of the café she had sent the address to and waited for her to arrive. To think that he was behaving weirdly ever since he met her would not be wrong. He was never pushy—never threatened or coerced someone into giving what he wanted. But there was also the fact that he was never rejected or treated indifferently just like how she loved to treat him. Moreover, he also never waited for a woman like he had been waiting for the last hour. Even to himself, he seemed strange. Why was he doing all that? He was sitting and looking at the time when finally, she decided to grace him with her presence. He was glaring at his phone when he heard someone clear their throat. He looked up to find her standing there with all her glory. He could not understand why he was left breathless for a
“Sir, Miss Anderson is here to see you.” His secretary informed him he was just hired two days ago. He had begun to join the office often. His grandfather was over the moon to find him there working. He had informed his secretary beforehand that Olivia was coming. “Let her in.” He said over the phone, folding the paper and leaning against his desk. He was just done going through the contract papers. She entered his office looking beautiful in jeans and a red shirt. Her hair was tied in a ponytail. She tied her hair a lot. As much as he was glad that her elegant neck was exposed, he wanted to see her hair down. He remembered how her long and gorgeous hair moved with her moves when she danced. He still could not believe she was the same person. She always dressed so modestly while she looked like such a seductress on the stage. “Welcome, Miss Anderson.” He greeted her cheerfully. She nodded without any expression and took a seat. ‘Still in a sour mood, huh?’ He thought. “Can we get
“Are you insane?” She stood up from her seat with shock. It seemed like he had vowed to throw bomb after bomb on her. She had been taking everything well until he mentioned getting married the next day. It was just a day ago when she agreed to accept the proposal, and now he was telling to get married so soon. “Relax. Sit down please.” He stood up as well. He did not expect such a big reaction from her. “How can I relax? Will you let me have a say on anything? How can we get married tomorrow? I have not even told my mom anything yet. What will she think of me if I go ahead and tell her I am getting married tomorrow?” She threw her hands in the air while her eyes showed how frustrated she was. The reaction was not out of the blue. She had been put through hell in the past days, and she had an idea how difficult it was for her mom to bear all the pain. She could never think of causing her more pain. How can she go ahead and tell her that she was getting married all of a sudden? “We
“What do you mean you are getting married in a week? Is this some kind of a prank?” She looked at the stunned expression Sana was having after she announced that she was getting married. Sana looked at her like she was spewing bullshit in some alien language. “You think I wanted to do this? I have no choice, Sana. My mother is on the verge of dying, and we are about to be thrown out on the streets. I could not find any other way.” She felt mist in her eyes at the helpless situation she was in. Sana put her hand on top of hers. “If you are worried about Aunt Amelia’s surgery, we can arrange that. My father is a social worker, Olivia. He can raise money to make that happen. Why did you have to take such a big step? You should have discussed it with me first.” Sana was not getting out of the shock however hard she tried. She could not believe Olivia would be so stupid to take such a big risk. She understood the dilemma that made her take such kind of a decision, but she was angry at h
