Subsequently, Sam and Charles got close together. They often went out on a date and had the chance to get to know each other well.
After a couple of months, Sam passed the CPA Examination and got a job eventually at MY Corporation.
Throughout the time, Charles was patiently waiting for Sam’s decision.
And all his efforts have not gone in vain, Sam accepted his love.
Everything went smoothly between them as they love each other so dearly. Charles was able to introduce Sam to his mother while Sam introduced him to her mother and brother as well.
Charles could tell already that she is “The One” for him. Therefore, he decided to propose marriage to her on their first anniversary. Unfortunately, Sam ran away from him.
Back to the present.
Sam spent the remaining days of her vacation with her mother. It has been a while since she went home. Thus, she
However, his mother left them for another man. He did not mind the disappearance of his mother since she never treated him as her own child. He always felt that she was not her real mother.Although he knew that his father loved him and really cared for him, he still sensed that something was missing. He asked his father several times if they were really his parents but he did not admit nor deny it. It was a big question mark for him.After his mother left, his father tried to be strong for him. He worked part-time as a family driver to feed him. But he later died due to a heart attack when he was 12 years old.Fortunately, the family that his father used to drive was kind and allowed him to work for them as a janitor and gardener. In return, they let him stayed in their house.When he turned 18, he looked for another job for a better income. He went to different places and met different kinds of people.
“His neck trauma might result to a little difference in his voice like hoarseness or no effect at all. It's not that serious. What really concerned us was his head injury. But we can only do proper evaluation once he woke up.”Sam just nodded her head indicating that she understood. Then, she glanced at Charles who was still in deep sleep.The doctor asked her pieces of information and instructed her some things on how to take care of the patient before he left. While Kelly also asked to leave.Sam was left in a daze. She could not believe that Charles was now lying on the hospital bed.After a while, she looked for her phone to call her mother. She was going to inform her about what happened to Charles.“Where did I put it?” She searched it inside her bag and on the table but it was nowhere to be found.“Sigh.” She could not remember where did she put it or if she left
Kelly did not respond. She just looked at Charles, then at Sam.Sam suddenly felt a lump in her throat. Although she was aware that Charles could not remember her, those words coming directly from him were like a stab in her heart that caused deep sharp pain.Still, she pretended to be strong and tried to fight back her tears. She would not make herself look pitiful in front of them.However, she could not stay there any longer. She took her bag and excused herself. Then, she went out of the room and decided to leave the hospital as fast as she could.While driving, Sam clearly recalled Charles’ reaction when he removed his hand from hers while his cold words were kept on playing on her ears.“Charles, why? How could you forget about me?” She felt like Charles left her hanging on a cliff.It was very difficult for her to accept that Charles had forgotten everything about her.
Sam did not waste any second, she opened the email to read its content.She was befuddled after reading the message.MY Corporation terminated her as Finance Manager because she has been accused of embezzlement for purposely stealing funds from the company.It is also said that she is not allowed to enter the company premises, effective this day, while the investigation is still ongoing.And since they were able to retrieve the amount of money stolen, the management decided to just terminate her and would not seek legal actions.However, if the result of the investigation proved that she stole more than the amount they recovered, they might pursue legal proceedings.‘What was going on?’ She thought.Sam immediately searched Cindy’s contact number in her address book. Then, dialed her number with her trembling hands.The call went through after few rings.“Hello, who’s this?” Cindy answered the call and as
Sam condemned herself for what had happened. She always locked herself up in her room and did not want to talk to anybody. The cheerful and amiable Sam became aloof and distant.Even though her mother did not blame her, Sam still felt guilty about it. That's why her mother decided to bring them to the city where she was working.She thought that it would help Sam to forget the incident when she got exposed to a different environment. She also brought her to a Psychiatrist to help her recover.After 2 years, Sam slowly recovered and began to become lively again. She started to mingle with her family from time to time. Even so, she does not make friends as she felt more at ease being alone.At present.Sam could not stop herself from crying at the thought of her father. She buried that painful memory down her heart already but she could not avoid looking back after sh
Sam returned to the office and got busy again for hours.Suddenly, her phone rang.She looked at her screen to see that the caller was Cindy. Then, she promptly answered the call.“Hello, Cindy,” Sam said while she leaned back in her chair. It’s been a while since they last talked.“Sam, I missed you. How are you? You told me you would keep in touch but if I have not called, I will not be able to talk to you. I’m so frustrated.”Sam could not help but laugh as she imagined Cindy’s reaction while speaking with pouted lips.“I’m sorry Cindy. I just got busy. I missed you too, okay? When are you going to visit me? You told me that you and Henry would come here.” Sam said as if she was now the frustrated one.“That’s why I called you. I’m going to tell you that we will visit you very soon.” Cindy said excitedly.“Really? When? Don’t surprise me, you kno
Harvey was almost near the house when his phone suddenly rang.He glanced at his phone and saw that it was Jane, her mother’s assistant. He pressed the answer button slightly annoyed as his mother always asks Jane to check his whereabouts.“Yes, Jane?” He asked Jane while peeking at the woman who was now entering the house. It was dark already, so he could not see her face.“Mr. Johnson, Madam fainted.” Jane noticed Harveys’s irritated voice so she did not beat around the bush.“What?! What happened?” Harvey was startled by the news.“She lost her balance when she suddenly got up from her bed. Dr. Shaw is here to check her condition.”“Alright, I’m on my way.” Harvey hung up the call.He paused for a moment glancing at the house in dismay. Hewas alre
The next morning at the Dream Villa.Mrs. Johnson who still looks gorgeous even at the age of 59,was walking down the stairs. She sawHarvey reading a newspaper in the living room with his brows furrowed.“What’s the matter, son?” Mrs. Johnson asked.Harvey turned his head in the direction of his Mom who was already standing beside him staring at his serious facial expression.“Nothing, I just read a rumor about me.” He put down the newspaper and stood up to kiss her Mom on the forehead.“How are you feeling? Did you sleep well?” He continued.“Yes, I’m feeling good. Thanks to Dr. Shaw. Anyway, what’s the rumor about this time?” Mrs. Johnson asked while she grabbed the newspaper.Then, she saw a picture of her son with a woman and read the caption ‘The Apple of Harvey Johnson's Eye’“Oh, so who’s this beautiful woman?” His mother asked in
