Her head still not in place, Starr resumed work. She put her brave face on and walked into the damn company like she owned it, and if Christopher Chariton came, she was ready to handle him like she was the owner of the damn company. She had a knee length wine bodycon gown, alongside a black heels. She had no jewellery on, apart from a simple gold bracelet. She kept her makeup simple, lip gloss, eyeliner and mascara. The meeting was scheduled for nine o'clock in the morning, so she arrived some minutes before nine. She had a full on pep talk with herself in the mirror, before she came to work. She had to ready herself for whatever was coming. Due to her absence from work for a couple of days, some staff had relaxed, misbehaving. "Tell Magnus to fire the lady who was eating at her desk and slouching. And also the guy who thought the office place is a bar and for picking up women," she told Amber as she walked into th

"It's a lie," Magnus excitedly said to her, flapping his arm close to his face, fanning himself. "He did legit ask you out?" he asked again, causing her to nod. "Oh my gawd! My ship is fucking sailing, Bitches!" He was so excited, Starr could feel it. She didn't know why he was so excited, but it kind of brought a smile to her face. She liked how he was so happy about something so not-so-big, that he felt should make her happy too. She couldn't help smiling. Magnus soon calmed down, taking his seat on one of her single chairs. "I bet he would have begged his life span short to get you to accept to it."Starr felt her cheeks grow warm as she frowned, feigning offense. "What do you mean?" she asked. Magnus laughed, bending his head back a bit. "Oh, I know you Starr. You are hardheaded," he mocked her, ignoring the little pity he felt for her on remembrance of why she was. Starr

The ride was quiet. Starr was trying her hardest not to 'think too much'. She sat quietly, her head resting on her elbow, her gaze fixed to the road. She was awfully quiet, Chris felt it was better to stay quiet also. He didn't want to ruin anything at all. He felt they had a great night ahead of them, and Starr's mood was very unpredictable, so he didn't want to ruin it with the slightest thing.  

MATURE WARNING! (MILD)  Starr might have not said it out loud, or even fully accepted it. But, she knew things weren't the same with Chris at all. She was letting go, bit by bit. The way they had exploded, while staring into each other's ey

Starr was fine. She could swear. As long as she could keep herself busy and not give herself a chance to think about what had happened, she was totally fine. After all, she hadn’t started falling for him yet, right?She woke up the next day, immediately got dressed and off to work. She knew she had a busy day at work, and would have no time for thoughts or unnecessary things. She didn’t have any meeting that day, but she had quite a ton of paperwork to attend to. She made Amber know she didn’t want to be disturbed, except it was regarding business – strictly business.Magnus hadn’t come to see her at all, so it gave her more work time. She covered a lot, and was almost done, when Magnus finally landed. For lots of reasons, she felt glad by his presence. “Been busy?” she asked him, with a smile as she wiggled her pen between her fingers.Magnus smiled, nodding. “Working on Chris’ project,” he said, takin
