KATHERINEKatherine tipped the third glass of tequila to her lips, swallowing the contents of the glass cup in one gulp.She slammed the glass down on the table again, and slid it over to the bartender for another refill and he poured the drink all to obligingly. She had promised him a good tip, so he would definitely do as she ordered. She needed this alcohol. It would drown her frustrations away, and make her stop thinking about a certain cranky bitch getting on her nerves amongst other things. After she had found out where Madison lived and worked, she had finally decided to go into the city to lodge in a better hotel. She couldn’t keep staying in that mold looking hotel more like motel, and worse still the building reminded her so much of Madison’s dilapidated house.Try as she may, she just couldn't stop herself from feeling irritated at the dingy hotel, and so she had ordered her men to drive her into the city and now she was much more comfortable in the new hotel room. After
Damien took one look in the mirror, and smoothened out the lapels of his coat, as he checked to make sure he was ready. When he decided he was ready to go, he picked his phone and car keys off the table and exited his bedroom. He would have asked his chauffeur to drive him, but he didn't know how long he would be staying there and Damien wasn't a fan of making people wait for long doing nothing, so he decided he would drive himself. He had finally taken up his mother's offer on having dinner with her and he was on his way there. After his flight had been canceled, he had nothing important to take care of and so he had called her to ask when she would be free to have dinner. She had been so excited that she asked him to come the next day, and he wasn't even there yet but he already had this feeling of nostalgia for his mother's cooking. He resolved within himself that when all of this was over, he would make out more time to spend with his family. It felt like he had been so busy
"So… did you like it?" Gina asked, smiling widely at Madison as they both packed in freshly baked bread into open cartons and moved them to where it would be taken for further transportation. This was the first time they had been placed to work in the same station, and Madison was a tad bit elated. The only time she got to see her friend was during lunch breaks, or after work when they would walk home together, but now it was so much nicer working with her. At least she had someone to talk to while simultaneously doing her job, and as usual Gina was lively and fun to be with. Madison laughed at her friend's expression, “Ah, don't get ahead of yourself now.” She teased, "But I won’t lie yes it was simply delicious. I have never had better potato porridge in my life!" She exclaimed, quickly placing a hand over her mouth when she realized her voice was quite loud, and someone could overhear them. Gina knowingly smirked with satisfaction, "See? I told you you'd love it. You're welcome
Damien checked his watch as he walked into the private air strip. He still couldn't believe a week had passed so quickly. It flew by so fast that he barely noticed, and this was because he had spent most of it with his family. After dinner with his mother the last time, she and his sister Layla had begged and convinced him to stay for a few more days, and he had agreed because he had nothing important to do.It had been a while since he spent quality time with them, and he didn't regret his decision to stay back one bit. Frankly speaking, the last week seemed to be the most fun days he'd had in months.At his large apartment, when he came back from work he would just sit around with nothing to do, but with his family, they had kept him on his toes and busy always and he had enjoyed every moment.He had felt human again, and even though he returned home few days later he still missed them, cherishing the time they’d spent. Now he vowed he would always make time to go see and spend s
Madison had never walked to work as fast as she did that morning. After a long week, it was finally the last day of the month, and also payday for her. She was so excited for all the things she would finally be able to get, and internally she had promised to treat herself to something really lavish when she finally got paid. Maybe a baked strawberry iced cake would do some good to her sweet greedy tooth, or some chocolate chip cookies. She didn't remember the last time she'd had those treats, and she certainly deserved it as she had been working so hard. She smiled as she cornered into the street that would lead to her workplace. The fact that she felt excited seemed strange to her suddenly, as Madison noted to herself that she couldn't describe exactly how she felt right now. She'd had such a shitty month, so it was nice to have something to look forward to, but even then whenever she recalled the threats lingering at her neck, her excitement died down instant.Discarding those
KATHERINEKatherine was feeling pretty confident after the bakery incident with Madison. She was glad with how everything seemed to have gone, and even though she was already planning her next move, for now she decided to lay low and not do anything else so soon. All she had to do for now actually was observe. It was necessary for the threats to sink in. So she just stayed in her hotel, checking his things would play out. Today though, she was busy scrolling through her phone, when she remembered that she needed more information on Damien's whereabouts – She had to know if he was still in New York and what plans he had, or if he was not. Better still the only person she could call, and who could answer this questions was his secretary. She also decided to ask why he had canceled his flight, and she was going to ask a whole lot. Katherine was past caring if the secretary would suspect anything, as she just needed to have the necessary information now.Picking up her phone, she di
"What are you doing here?" Madison gasped in surprise when she opened the door to see Gina standing in front of her door. She didn't have work today as it was the weekend so she wasn't expecting anyone, and she had been surprised when she heard someone knocking at her door. She had also been a little scared, but then it was broad daylight and the weekend too. All her neighbors were hanging around the front yard, and so so she confidently opened up. Gina had a huge smile plastered over her face as she faced Madison, “What do you think? It's morning, and I can visit my friends or can’t I? Have you also forgotten what we planned to do today?”Madison laughed, shaking her head as she remembered that they had made plans to go out today, but she hadn't expected Gina this early at all. “It's nine in the morning miss. Don’t you think it’s a little bit early?“ She complained, rubbing her forehead and opening the door wider for her friend to come in but Gina just shrugged, "The earlier we l
Damien felt refreshed when he awakened the next morning. He had slept for about ten hours and he was feeling much better now.His visit to the spa yesterday which included a needed body massage, had also helped his intended relaxation. Not accustomed to eating breakfast, he showered and went through his morning routine, and then checked in briefly with his company in New York. It had only been a day since he got to London, but he had already resolved within himself to check in with the manager whenever he got the chance, and so far it was going smoothly. He spent the rest of the morning going through the documents and charts concerning the hotel he was staying in, and so far Damien was impressed. There was practically nothing to complain about. The system was so spotless that he didn't see the need to take over or change anything, as that might even ruin their momentum, and he found that he quite enjoyed how the manager ran the place. He was even considering applying the same syste
