Definitely, I was so shocked. If it wasn't for the fact I paid some respect to old people, I'd have thrown this man off my body. But well, what if he was one of those old men who always had a memory swing, and maybe thought I was his daughter-in-law? It wouldn't be nice to shame him roughly. I could be mean, but there were certain people I respected.  "Um, sir, I understand you're not fine. So, in case you need to be told, well, I'm not your daughter-in-law," I said. At all costs, I had tried to be as nice as possible. In fact, I kind of forced a smile. For anyone who cared to know, I was that one person who hadn't smiled in almost a year, unless it was a fake one.  He pulled away, held my arms as he smiled. "Nah, I'm not crazy. Aren't you Louella Warren? Oh, I'm sure you must have come to see him. Seriously, I can't wait to see you both have a baby!" He exclaimed.  "Huh?" I squinted my eye at him, trying

I couldn't tell what I was to do. I knew I was a strong woman, but he was obviously physically stronger. I had tried to pull him from me, but nothing seemed to be working. He held me so tight, clinging my body to his, like he wanted to get something from me.  No man, absolutely no man, had kissed me this hard, and even this long.  I shook. To probably taste more of my lips, he stood up from the table, jerked my body to his torso, held me even tighter. All I could do was to struggle to leave his hold, literally infuriated to the extreme.  Holding my arms, he turned me around, made me sit on his table. After a little longer, he stopped pulling my lips, and kind of gave me a sly smile.  "Sh…" He pulled a finger over my mouth. "Don't speak. I'll get back to you. Be right back." And then, he just turned to the lady who was behind him, leaving me to gape in s

She exhaled hard. I was pretty sure she wouldn't have behaved this way, if she was observant enough to know Jerome was here with me. She was upset, and probably wasn't aware of anything going on around her. She was hardly this way, but would only act like this when she couldn't control her emotions for too long.  I caressed her arms, a bit worried. "Calm down, okay? Tell me what happened. Who kissed you?" "It's that irritating man, Seth!" She blurted out, glaring hard, her teeth clasped too.  "Aha!" I turned to Jerome, walked to him. Standing in front of him, he was kind of smiling. "See? I told you your friend is an asshole. Believe me now?" "Wh-What?" Louella bulged her eyes open, sauntered to us. "I-Is he… Seth's friend?" "Best friend," I replied sharply.  She obviously swallowed. For some reason, she cleared her throat, flared her no

I became even more terrified as they stepped closer. The moment they sat on the couch opposite me, something burst out in my tummy. In my life, these people were the last people I wanted to see. They were the root of every calamity I had in life. They were the evil spirits that clinged me to the trauma I frequently experienced.  I gulped. After a while, Becca's eyes caught mine. In about two seconds only, she smirked. Yes, that was the demon. They had come to haunt me.  I stood up from my seat, stared at Seth in fear. "Why are they here? I thought we would be having Chinese clients around?" I enquired.  He kind of clasped his jaw, and walked to me. Standing in front of me, he glared. "Just sit back," he whispered. "They're representatives from the Chinese company. First, they'll examine whether or not we're to work with them, then the work begins after. Don't ruin this for us." I glare

Louella•••••••••• "Oh my gosh!" Erin exclaimed, sprang from her seat, threw her arms up, doing some sort of crayfish dance. "Can't believe this! She'll be here in only a few minutes." My elbow was on the table, my chin in my palm. I shook my head at her, not knowing what to say to her. Rather, I would say she was being dramatic. Seeing Lina didn't feel so much like a big deal, so why was she this excited? Lina was one of our close friends. In particular, she was Erin's friend. I would admit, I didn't see anything so great about being friends with her, so I was truly never so close with her. Yes, we were close, but not as close as Erin and me.  "When you're done, we'll continue our work." I sat straight, concentrated on the laptop in front of me. "I'll be off to GSF soon. So, don't let your weirdness take so long to come to an end."
