Cutting The Line
At Forrest Research Institute, the applicants were lined up outside the conference room.   Men and women, newly-graduates, and experienced workers stood waiting for their turn to be interviewed. Some of them were reading the Institute's Mission, Vision and Philosophy hoping that it will help them impress the interviewers, others were praying or holding their amulet, and there are some busily fixing themselves, making sure that there is not a hair out of place.   Among the applicants, Clara and Bryan stood next to each other. Both of them are applying for a Laboratory Technician position. Bryan wanted to apply as a Supervisor there, but because the Institute was not currently looking to hire new Supervisors, he decided to apply for this position instead. He can work his way up afterwards, he is sure of it. After all, with his experience, he will surely get a promotion right away.   Before Clara stood a girl wearing formal

Blood Boiling
Inside the Conference room, Tamara was still waiting for Kate. They've already interviewed a number of applicants. She left the other resumes on her table earlier so she asked Kate to bring it over. But it has already been 5 minutes and still no sign of Kate or another Lab technician.   "Excuse me for a moment." Tamara excused herself. "I'll go check outside." The other interviewers nodded.   She left the Conference room and looked left and right to find Kate or another Lab technician from her department.   "How shameless of you to even be here?! After the crap that you did back at Hopton Research Institute, you have the guts to even come here? Isn't endangering the patients' lives more than enough?" Tamara heard a loud voice several feet from her. It was obvious the speaker intentionally said it so others will hear.   Tamara was dismayed. They're conducting interviews and then a scene like this happ

Shameless
Tamara was about to lose the last bits of patience she has. She had already planned this day so it would go smoothly, and these two have made a mess of things here.   When she did a background check on Bryan Cook and Clara Holt after sensing her boss's attitude at the mention of Hopton Research Institute, she was only looking at it from a perspective of an employee only doing her job.   Now facing these two people harassing Diana Winchester, she can't help but feel empathy towards Diana.   She did a background check on Diana before right after her speedy hiring. She knows that Diana is always top of her class and even graduated top of her year. Mr. Taylor only told her to offer a job to Diana. As she was about to follow the order, she found that Ms. Winchester submitted an application. She was even recommended by a notable professor. This professor has recommended graduates before and the ones that he recommended are all

Bryan and Clara resisted the two security guards.   The scene quickly became chaotic. With Clara shrieking like a banshee and Bryan shielding her while trying to look up Assistant Ethan Taylor's name in his contacts.   "Let go! I know Assistant Taylor! You'll be sorry for treating us like this!" Bryan threatened. He hurriedly pressed the call with his other hand that is holding his phone while struggling to push the security guard from him.   "Hello! Mr. Taylor. I'm at the Institute now. Some employees are harassing me…" Bryan was about to speak more when Ethan interrupted.   "Alright. I'm heading down." Ethan said calmly, ending the call.   Bryan was pleasantly surprised at this. He smirked.   "He's coming. Just you wait!" Bryan finally pushed off the security guard who was looking at him indifferently.   "What? So they really know the A

At the cafeteria, Kate and Miriam were waiting for Diana. When they saw her enter, they hurriedly waved at her. Diana went to their table as soon as she saw them.   "What took you so long? Here, I already got your food." Kate said.   "Here's a bottle of lemonade." Miriam gave it to her.   Diana was surprised at their gesture. In front of her is the beef spare ribs over steamed white rice.   "How much was it? I'll transfer it to you."   "Huh? Don't mention it. It's my treat. Hurry and eat.." Kate waved her hand, rejecting her payment.   "Thank you. Both of you." Diana smiled faintly. She just came from some trouble and now she has these two colleagues who took the initiative to befriend her. It was too heartwarming.   The two didn't bother Diana. They insisted on having her focus on eating seeing that lunch break is almost over. &n

Is This A Joke?
The Waterfront Well is one of the famous restaurants in the country. It is only one among several restaurants the Hargreave family owns. This one, in particular, has Lucas's private room which his friends from the Great 7 families also regularly borrows.   At that moment, a gentleman in a dark grey suit was waiting patiently inside a private room.   When the door opened, Lucas came in and ushered Diana. Atty. Pierpont stood in greeting, introducing himself to Diana.   "Good day Mr. Ingram. Hello Ms. Winchester. My name is Hector Pierpont. I will be representing you in your case against Ms. Holt." Pierpont offered his hand to Diana for a handshake which the latter accepted.   "Nice to meet you. Thank you for your help." Diana smiled politely.   "It's my pleasure." Pierpont smiled in return. Upon seeing Lucas's bored facial expression, the lawyer cleared his throat and proc

Dreams
"Can I?" With Diana's silence and dumbfounded look, Lucas asked.   "But we barely know each other.." Diana whispered.   "We have the time to get to know each other as we spend more time together, right?" Lucas said.   Diana was still shocked at what Lucas is saying now.   "But--why--" Diana wanted to ask why Lucas would want her to be his girlfriend.   Lucas's eyes twinkled. "Go on dates with me first? No harm in that, right?"   Diana tried to dissect his brain using her eyes.   'What is going on?'   How could she date her boss?   It will be troublesome if people at work will find out.   Diana sighed. "If I do, can we keep it from work? I don't want trouble at work because of this."   Diana is aware that she is taking a gamble now.   "

That's A Lie
Diana thought about what Lucas just told her. She has been preoccupied lately with what happened on her first job and now getting settled in her new one that she didn't realize that she can start on her dream sooner than what estimated.   "Our Institute has a scholarship for employees who want to enter medical school. When it's time for internship and residency, it will be done in Forrest Hospital. If you pass the criteria for scholarship, you can start that dream soon, don't you think so?" Lucas told her.   "I've heard about that from the orientation on the first day." Diana recalled the scholarship and employee benefits. She remembered that the criteria is actually very difficult. Scholarships can be based on need or merit. Knowing that they will do background checks, she won't be eligible if it is based on financial need. The Winchester Family may not be as wealthy as the Great 7 but it still is one of the wealthy families. On this aspect

Diana was still dumbfounded at her father for accusing her to beg Henry to get back together with her.   She didn't know where her father got this idea from. Just because they had just broken up and her ex is with her sister, it didn't mean that she would harp about it. 'Why couldn't they believe that I have moved on?'   The way they are is like a broken record, constantly singing a repetitive tune. It was ridiculous and they seem to not have realized it yet.   She gritted her teeth. "Get back together with him? Father, you really don't know me. Whatever. If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up."   "Y-you! You! So disrespectful!" Osmond threw the phone on the couch, ending the call.   'Is Henry the best man in the world that any girl would have a darn hard time getting over him?' She glanced at Lucas. 'He's not even an inch closer to this guy.'   Diana sighed

Thick Skinned
Diana was still feeling warm as she entered the elevator and went up to her apartment. She could feel her cheeks flush red.   When she was told about the engagement party, Diana was already prepared to face ridicule from Chantal's friends. She has already made up her mind to just show up and do what's within reason as part of Winchester Family. Naturally she won't make any scene there as she doesn't really have an opinion on the two people involved.   But when Lucas asked her about her father Osmond's call, she only answered what he asked. She didn't feel like there's a reason to be so secretive about it. Anyway the media will report about it soon. Knowing Chantal, she would make sure that her party would be so grandiose and would be talked about by the media.   However, Diana didn't expect that Lucas would actually invite himself to the event. Only thinking about it is making Diana feel dumbfounded again.
