“What…what are you doing here?” Andrea asked Rio wearing a blank expression as he stared at Rio with lifeless, stone-cold eyes.“Andrea” Rio moved closer, maintaining the concerned look he had on his face. Andrea hated that he had to see her that way, soaked and miserable but none of that mattered since, she doesn’t give a flying fuck at this time, not with everything on her plate right that moment. “Are you alright-“Leave” Rio flinched to her cold tone. Andrea didn’t mean to be rude, she just wasn’t in the mood to entertain him, she’s got so much going on, she had no intention of playing house with him. “I’m sorry…I just-” Her voice turned brittle, ready to break at the slightest push. “I just-” Her words wouldn’t come, thinking about everything again just brought tears to her eyes. How could she put her suffering in words? She wondered. While many people might think it’s no big deal, they could deal with the damage, her heart wouldn’t stop hurting, would it have been less differen

As Andrea predicted, the reporters caught a whiff of the situation and before she knew it, it spread throughout the company like wildfire, but more than anything, Andrea hated the pitiful looks and sympathetic glances her co-workers wouldn’t stop giving her as she treads the company hallway in her feminine brown suit and clutch purse of a darker shade of brown to her clothes but matches either way. She had promised to wear a confident smile and calm demeanour as she walked in but it was hard to keep her composure as their eyes continue to escort her down to the president’s office.To Andrea’s dismay, her father’s secretary was in her grandfather’s seat and it had her already cold expression turning dark.“What are you doing?” Andrea demanded and Jenny shoot to her feet.“Sorry, I was helping the president clear his table” Suspicious, Andrea narrowed her eyes at her while Jenny moved away from the desk.“What brings you here Andrea?” Since she was way older than her and had always been

“Mr. Owen offered me a deal one time, I just need to take that deal. I pray it’s still on the table” Andrea groaned as she recalled what she told the executives at the executive’s meeting while their eyes were all on her. Everyone could guess what their next reaction would be. The way their eyes went wild in their sockets.“I must be insane, what would I do if he refuse to work with me? How can I rely on strangers like that” Andrea muttered while anxiously tapping her feet during her elevator ride up to the 40th floor of Owen’s company building. If he decides not to work with me, I don’t think I know what I’ll do, she might have managed to calm the executive's mind this time but the moment Owen rejects her, it’s over. Do we need to appeal to the bank to loan us money again, 100million debts isn’t a lot to generate back since our output and input is pretty decent, and our stats over the years have been over the graph, we’ve had more sales even recently, but because of what happened, ou

“It’s been such a long day” Rea thought as she stretches her body and approached her fridge for some water. She wasn’t able to return back to the office after meeting Owen and met her grandfather instead to tell her about the deal, well not explicitly. Rea couldn’t bring herself to explain the truth behind the sudden engagement deal he accepted from Owen, she didn’t feel comfortable enough exposing Rio without permission.Well, her grandfather still seems pretty pissed though since she told him Owen offered to help if she gets engaged with his son. Christopher who thought his granddaughter was forced raged about it for a while until Andrea insisted it was her choice.Andrea chuckled softly after recalling his father’s angry look after telling him of his plan. “He can be so dramatic,” Andrea thought out loud placing on his kitchen counter the glass cup she’d just drank from. Then the doorbell sounded and she quickly walked over to check who it was. Andrea didn’t want to admit it but sh

Andrea felt when the warmth enveloping her disappears but she was too tired to stand up and now she couldn’t stop thinking all about it.“Hey! Earth to Andy!” Daisy half-screamed, snapping her fingers in Andrea’s face to break her from her trance.“Um yeah…sorry, what were you saying?” Andrea asked absentmindedly while bringing her palm over her face to wake her tired eyes.“You look like a walking zombie right now, did you not get any sleep? I thought we’d be celebrating since I just got back but you don’t look so glad” Daisy pouted as she took a seat opposite Andrea who seems rather distracted though she had multiple files in front of her.“Sorry…there’s just so much on my mind right now, I’m glad you got back safely” Andrea forced a smile before Daisy narrowed her eyes at her in suspicion.“I still don’t know how you manage to get the president of Boris enterprise to help us, but you’ve gotta check the company’s platform, it’s literally what everyone is talking about.” Daisy beamed
