Leo.3"I swear, sir! I had no idea!"The man said with pleading eyes that flickered away from mine more often than not. I knew people found it hard to return my gaze, but the least this bastard could do was try hard enough if he wanted to convince me that he wasn't aware of the theft that had been going on under his nose.         Sweat beaded his forehead. His hands tugged nervously at his tie, loosening it."You're telling me", I said in a calm voice tapping my finger on the arms of the chair I was sitting on. His chair in his office in the finance department floor, while he stood on the other side of the desk, "that you, the head of the financial department of the whole corporate,

He nodded then did as told. Lydia cringed when she took a sip. She eyed her drink suspiciously, before shrugging and finishing her drink."Hi! You made it!" A woman called from my other side, looking at me in a smile I recognized all too well. Her brown eyes trailed over my suit clad body. I had seen her before, probably a model for one of Lydia's shows. She was attractive, but her eyes held a glint I was well familiar with."I'm Selena, I asked Lydia to invite you, I didn't think you would actually come", she said as I shook her soft hand. She squeezed mine a little before letting go. She flipped her brown hair- or was it red? I couldn't tell under the dim lights- over her shoulder, then joined the three of us by the bar.1Jayden was trying to keep Lydia from drinking too much. But there wasn't much he could do once she blinked her baby blue eyes at him. He was making a commend

LeoThe next morning was the longest damn morning of the whole year. Lunch just wouldn't arrive.5         "If none of the employees are promoted, then we'll have to hire", the human resources head said, rubbing her temple."Well if we hire, we'll have to do it quietly. The last thing we want is the press getting wind of what happened", another employee retorted as he tapped on the meeting table, staring at Suzannah.I sighed and decided to put a stop to this fool show that had been going on for a couple of hours now. Finding a replacement for the head of the financial department of an international corporation was not as difficult as these idiots made it be. They just loved making things complicated, so

You're really good," he said shaking his head, his brows raised as he flipped to another page that had a sketch of the buildings, it was the view that surrounded us.1He smiled looking around then at the sketch, comparing the original to the drawing, "this is really good".'Thanks', I signed. He looked at my hand then at me."Let me guess, that means thank you."I nodded. He gave me my notebook back then had a bite of his brownie half."How long have you been deaf?" he asked after washing down the brownie with some water. I blinked. He was the first person to actually ask me that question. People usually tiptoed around the subject. I was grateful that he didn't. I smiled at him.But as memories of the accident flashed before my eyes, my smile dimmed.2M

Irene.The day finished on a good note, so I slept better than usual. I was well rested as I went about my regular morning at work.When I got to my lunch spot on the rooftop, the blue eyed man was already there. His eyes flickered away when he saw me. He tried to put off the cigarette he held between his fingers.         I looked at the cigarette that was now crushed against the hard surface of the roof. He scratched the back of his neck, the tips of his ears a bit pink. It was kind of cute. I would have smiled if it wasn't for my huge dislike for cigarettes.It wasn't my business whether he smoked or not. It really wasn't. But...I sighed as I sat facing him, 'You smoke?' I wrote.He looked at the words
