What they mentioned about the former team leader kept lingering on my mind all day even though I was so busy with the articles to be submitted for the rest of the week. I resumed work after lunch before Stanley suddenly walked into the office. “We will be going for the Greens Island tomorrow for news coverage. There’s something exciting going on and we have to be the first to publish it. It would be awesome if we can get an exclusive interview with the director on site” he announced and Tina clapped “We will be stepping out after all this while. I am so happy I could cry right now” she giggled and Amanda followed suit with a low “I am so happy too. I can't wait to run around in freedom” My eyes rolled at their words because it's not like they were ever so busy they couldnt live the life they wanted. I was surprised that Stanley's company doesn't make their employees work their lives out all in the name of trying to get and scoop all the exclusive news out there. My former workplace

“Where are you going to?” Pamela stood up as I stood up too“Going to ask why her name was there of course. I stood in the rain for those terrible and horrible minutes while the rain was pouring hard on me. I am in this state because of the darn coverage but what?” I yelled on top of my voice and turned sharply.As I reached for the door’s handle, things suddenly became blurry and I didn’t know when I landed on the floor.I fainted.Different indistinct chattering around me woke me up and my eyes were greeted by streams of white light as I opened them to find myself in a strange place. A big face with an almost bald head greeted my eyes as soon as my vision became cleared, making me jump up in fear.“Who are you?” I yelled before scanning him from head to toeHis white coat and stethoscope around his neck gave him out that he was a doctor and he just came to check up on me that moment.“Are you feeling better? Well seeing how you jumped up, you must be feeling good” he commented and s

Joan Mimi walked into the company’s studio three days later to attend the scheduled interview. We decided to have a separate interview for both of them first before they do one together. She was in a white Camellia dress accompanied with a black flap bag and a white cover shoe.No lies, she was stunning and classy in her dress. I wowed at how elegant she was and how pretty everything on her down to her nails were shiny.“She’s freaking pretty, I am so jealous” Bea complimented from afarAmanda added by her side, “I know right. She’s as pure as a glass. I wish to be like her” “Even her skin is glowing from afar” Bea continuedEvery of their statements got me rolling my eyes continuously, I didn’t know why I was mad at someone who did absolutely nothing to me so I had to call myself to order.“It’s not like I am still in love with him so why should I be jealous or mad? I have to get a grip” I mumbled to myself and went in for the interview.Throughout the session for his interview, he

STANLEY’S POVI was happy as soon as I saw Petals walk into the hospital room with Mimi. I kept playing video games because I was bored to death and I know it would remain like that if Mimi comes back. We rarely talk or even communicate.The dating news that was released was because of my mother who insisted on marrying someone like her due to the influence of her family. I refused to have anything to do with her but my mother pleaded for just a blind date.“I am not interested” I insisted firmly“You will have to forfeit the right to your company” she threatened me“How can you do that? I am the owner of my company” I objected strongly and she cackled“Have you forgotten that I am the biggest shareholder? If you want to win over me then you have to fight for it” she remarked and it sank inShe was the one that set up the company for me and funded most of the things I had in the company even though I had been steadily paying her back but if she pull out at this time, I would be in deb

Pamela was coming into the kitchen and didn’t know that something was going on between Petals and Stanley. She stood at the entrance when she heard her voice lashing at Stanley who just stood there, absorbing every words from her.“Is something the matter? Did you two get in a fight?” she asked, rushing to meet Petals who was walking angrily back to her room“Pamela, I don’t want to offend you or lash out at you so I’d appreciate it if you don’t talk about Stanley. I don’t want to hear anything about him for now” Petals stated, trying to stay calm and composedWith Pamela’s hand in the air, she backed out and respected her request.“I am sorry for asking, I think it would be best for you to take a rest for now” she advised and closed the doorStanley handled the rest of the cooking and called everyone to eat but Petals didn’t come out of her room. She was still mad at him for what happened between them in the kitchen few minutes ago.“Are we still going mountain climbing? It was fun t
