The Fire
It's one of those fridays when Fate yet again brought work home, much to Rhine's dismay. She had been looking forward to the weekend to spend with her best friend.
"You're not spending time with me anymore." Rhine whined on the phone. "Sometimes I wish you hadn't gotten that job."
Fate could imagine the pout her best friend is wearing at the moment. She just shook her head and chuckled. "Don't be such a drama queen."
"Now you're just mocking me!" She growled in frustration. Remembering that she told Fate those exact words a couple of weeks ago herself.
"No, I'm not~~" Was the reply in a sing-song voice. "It's just because you're acting like one."
"Is this how to treat your best friend after you saved your career and found a super hot boyfie?"
Fate snorted.
"Alright. Go ahead. That's just like you! Spending more time with him than with me. What happened to Chicks before Dicks, huh?"
"Language, bitch." Fat

And what's going to happen to her now? Will she still be able to get her deposit for her rental? What about all her possessions? Not just the appliances and her ga
The Obstinate CEO Goes After the Stoic Secretary The Offer
Fate looked at her reflection on the mirror. She’s a wreck. With her hair in a messy ponytail and her make-up a mess, no wonder people in the club had been looking at her weirdly since earlier. Not that she can helped it, nor does she care. Actually, these days she’s finding it hard to care about anything else after what happened to her last month. After one last look at the mirror, she made her way out of the lady’s comfort room, intending to go back to her friend and mug of beer to drown in sorrow. She was already a little drunk then, that she didn’t notice she was about to collide with someone. Fate was about to fall on her butt if it weren’t for the person she collided with catching her just in time and holding her steady on her feet. “Hey, are you okay?” The guy said, showing genuine concern. “Don’t touch me!” Fate said to him crossly as she tried to push him away. He was taken aback, but still didn’t let go of her until s

It's been three days since the night Fate received the offer from 'The Mask'. She spent those days just staring at the card she placed in the kitchen countertop, she hadn't even touched it again since and Rhine is just about to lose her patience. It's good that Fate hadn't touched a drop of alcohol since that night even when she received yet again another rejection from the companies she applied at, but the fact that all she did is stare at it all day isn't exactly helping either. When she arrived at Fate's apartment and saw her best friend staring at the card again as she sat on the sofa, she decided that something had to be done before it's too late. Without saying anything, Rhine went to the kitchen, took the card and was about to tear it in half. "No!" Fate exclaimed, running towards her friend to get the card from her. "What are you doing? Are you out of your mind?" Fate was horrified as she snatched and held the card protectively. "Oh so

Today she wore the best work suit she had in her dresser. More like her lucky suit really. She only wears it whenever she has to go on an important meeting or presentation, it had never failed her and she's hoping with all her heart that this time it won't as well. Taking a deep breathe, she wore her signature stoic face and entered the building. She received a temporary ID card after telling the receptionist her name and purpose, as instructed by the person who answered her call the day before.

When they were finally settled in their own seats, with Kurt on his armchair behind his desk and Fate on the chair in front of it, Kurt went staright to the point which Fate greatly appreciated.
