Sam was stunned by Charles’ remarks and was not able to respond. She could feel the heat rising to her face. She immediately avoided his gaze while Charles turned his attention back to the road. She took her phone from her bag to make herself busy. She browsed again the online shopping app she was checking earlier. However, her mind was not on her phone but was filled by Charles and his earlier statement.After a moment, they arrived at the nearest mall to the university. Sam felt uncomfortable the whole journey, so she was able to feel easy the time they entered the mall.Charles led her to a fine dining restaurant. “Wait,” Sam said as she tugged at his sleeve. Obviously, she was reluctant to enter the place. From its look, she knows that she could not afford to pay even a single order of meal in this kind of restaurant.“Don’t worry, I will pay this time. Pay me back once you have the money.”Charles winked his eye at her. He was aware of what s

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

“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

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 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
