"Sir, this is the financial report from the last quarter that we're going to prepare for the investors....." While Mr. Javier doing his report, his boss seem to have his own world and was drifting somewhere else. His chin rested on his hand while tapping the table with his finger.He's not contented and not satisfied by his action, and he didn't seem to see the progression of his pursuit. In truth, chardon didn't know if he's on the right track and if what is he's doing's right. This is the first time he face this kind of situation and he didn't have idea what his next step would be.Before, women are the always one that approached him voluntarily, and he had never experienced courting even one of them."About the revenue, the company make a profit for at least...."Chardon didn't understand even one of his assistant's report, he just quietly planning what he would do next.He suddenly remembered when he saw Jonas and marigold at the restaurant. He thought, do they go out o
"That means... Mr. Atanante might be interested in you."My ears suddenly have ringings while my heart beating faster in my chest. I felt mixed emotions as I couldn't believe what she said and I don't know if I could ever believe that...... just what did she say? "Why are you became in daze? You're acting like stupid. It's hard to believe, isn't it?..... The fact that if it's related to work, it's up to Mrs. Valdez to mediate between us and the superiors..... " She sucked her cigarette again and blew the smoke out before she proceed. "......and moreover, the CEO does not interfere with the small employees like us, because he only meet those executives that directly reporting to him at the company, so no need to summon us, there's no reason for that."A sudden realization came to me. I remembered how Mr. Atanante treated me this passed few days, I even wondering why he suddenly seemed to be nice to me since I got fever and when I fell asleep in his office. If carla hadn't menti
Carla held her head high as she walked out of the office while her female officemates became restless on their seat thinking why their Ceo summoned her.They repeatedly telling on their selves that if only they could know, they would do the same as what Carla's did by passing her report in advance, though it said that it's not allowed on their joint team building.Although Carla looks calm, the truth is that, she's so excited to go to the CEO's office to see chardon. This is the first time she will be able to set foot in the exclusive suit-like office of their boss.Before, if there were any women who could enter that office, it was only Chardon's girlfriends and former secretary, but now she became one of them.While secretly celebrating, Carla suddenly remembered that marigold was ahead of her whom she thought is much more humble and lowly than her.Her eyes suddenly became cold. Chardon's interaction with marigold yesterday's still fresh to her, which drew envy from their fe
MARIGOLD: It's middle in the night and I'm still wide awake. I'm just tossing and turning in bed and I couldn't fall asleep no matter what position I make. It's all Mr. Atanante's fault, eh.I sat down and got some sip of water. While drinking, the image of Mr. Atanante, while he was holding my face and while telling me his confession earlier, popped in my mind.When he told me his confession at that moment, I couldn't look into his eyes so I looked into his mouth instead.Every movement and twitch of his lips seems was like a charm that attracted me and I seemed to forget that I was in a difficult situation in his office that time. "Pftt!" I accidentally spilled the water in my mouth,I immediately took a wipe and wipe it.How can I face Mr. Atanante? if only now that I think of him, my heart seems skipped beating. I don't want to see him for a while because I might pass out from nervousness. How come what Carla said to me became true?......."Ha ha ha ha! Why do you lo
CRASH!!The flowerpot fell on the floor and broke into pieces.Marigold did nothing to stop Carla, it happened so fast and she didn't think Carla would do that. She just stood and looked foolishly at the scattered pieces of pot, soil and flowers on the floor. Then that when the time the bewildered Jessy woke up to what had happened. They immediately stopped Carla who looked to Marigold with fierce eyes as if she was ready to attack her next.Marigold squatted to reached out and slowly picked up the flowers. She didn't care about the fuming Carla that resembles a lion that time, ready to eat her.As Marigold carefully picked the plant, she felt heavy in her heart. She felt as if the heart of the person who offered this flowerpot to her had been trampled and broken.Marigold felt a mixture of annoyance, sadness and regret. She angrily turned to Carla. "Why did you do this? Why‽"Jessy and their other friends astonished. This is the first time they had seen Marigold outburst."M-marigol
Chardon turned his seat at Marigold's direction at the front. "Tell us about the marketing report of your department. We need your enlightenment and lecture on this presentation."The nervousness and pressure marigold felt increased the moment she saw chardon near her. She calmed herself a little and remembered what Jonas told her earlier. That's when she thought why she's there.She bowed her head for a moment and composed herself. She suddenly remembered her promise to prove herself. "This is it! This is the the right I need to show my capability!"When marigold raised her head, there's no trace of nervousness anymore, only determination can be seen her. 'Okay....' then she start: "Hello everyone, I'm Marigold Magbanua from the marketing department. And as I stand here, I will explain every detail about the proposal report of our team." Marigold immediately caught everyone's attentions, specially, the executives. Chardon, on the other hand, was leaning forward on the swivel
When I finished my work, I went up to the rooftop. My chest pounded every time I went up the stairs.What does he need? Will he apologize again to show that he's sincere?When I got in front of the rooftop door, I took a deep breath and; slowly opened turned the doorknob. It didn't need to make a step before I immediately saw a table with candles and flowers.Wait... isn't it a dinner date table?I looked around but I couldn't see Mr. Atanante. I walked and approached the table.After a while I heard a violin sound, I immediately looked around to find out where it's coming from.I was surprised to see Mr. Atanante arriving out of nowhere while playing the violin.My eyes widened as my heart continued to beat rapidly. His handsome look in his black suit while playing violin makes you think as if he's a professional.I just watched him silently and patiently, waiting for him to finish."Do you like it?" He asked after he finished playing.I immediately nodded with sparkling ey
I couldn't move my feet as if it was planted on the ground, staring to the both of them as they continue kissing. They look as if they had no intention of stopping.The way they did it looks like they are very used to it and it seems like they do it all the time.When the woman's face turned in my direction while kissing, I finally recognized who it was. She was the woman who suddenly appeared and hugged Mr. Atanante when we left the conference room after the meeting.I didn't know this is his way to show how serious he is.... so, this is his sincerity. He said they are no longer in a relationship and he didn't connect with this woman anymore, but it turns out......I feel like an invisible hand slapped me saying; 'wake up! This is the truth, he will never change!'I hid and processed the situation in my brain. Now I saw everything so clearly that I couldn't deny it, I knew even more that I shouldn't give him the 'chance' he was asking for anymore.When he apologized and expl
