Let me go! I need to talk to Eden!" I raise my voice but my pleas fell deaf on his ears and I struggled to free myself from his grip but my struggle ended when Arden said," Let her go, Jonathan,"Jonathan's grip on my arm loosened instantly at Eden's command. His face turned a shade paler, his eyes wide with surprise. "But Mr Eden," he stammered, turning to look at the man who had just intervened.Eden stood at the chair, his expression unreadable. "You heard her, Jonathan. Let her go," he repeated, his voice calm but firm.Jonathan released me immediately, stepping back as if my arm had suddenly turned into a hot iron rod. I rubbed my arm, the imprint of his fingers still visible on my skin."Don't even think about laying a hand on me again," I warned Jonathan, my voice resonating with newfound strength. A wave of anger surged within me, stoking the fires of my resolve.Eden's eyes met mine, an unspoken understanding passing between us. "I believe this meeting has come to a close," he

As I waited for Lara, I noticed a woman rushing down the corridor towards me. She was juggling a file in one hand and a phone in the other, her conversation sounding urgent. As she neared, she spotted me and waved me over.As I stood alone in the corridor, a wave. She paused and asked the me. "Excuse me,who are you? And what are you doing here?"The woman looked at me, a hint of surprise in her eyes. "Oh, I'm sorry. I should have introduced myself. I'm the new junior designer," I explained, in tone apologetic.She then held out the file towards me again. "Okay, I need you to take this file to Madam Victoria. It's urgent," she said, her voice laced with urgency. I hesitated"What are you waiting for? It's urgent," she said, thrusting the file towards me.I hesitated, glancing back at the door Lara had disappeared through. Lara had explicitly told me to stay put. But the woman in front of me seemed desperate, "I...uh...Lara told me to wait here," I stammered, unsure of what to do.The w

Suddenly, the door swung open, interrupting the tense silence. Another female voice filled the room, "Madam Victoria, I apologize for the interruption, but Mr. Arden wishes to see you urgently," she announced."Urgently? Did something happen?" Victoria's voice was laced with concern."I'm not sure, Madam Victoria. Mr. Eden simply instructed me to inform you that he needs to see you immediately," the woman replied."Alright, let him know I'll be right there," Victoria responded. As her footsteps receded, I found myself holding my breath, praying fervently that I wouldn't be discovered in this compromising situation. The room fell silent once again, the only sound being the pounding of my heart in my ears. Thankfully, Victoria paused for a moment before finally exiting the office, leaving me alone in the room that had just been the stage for such a tense encounter. I let out a sigh of relief, my heart still pounding in my chest. I knew I had to leave before she returned. , I crawled out

The elevator doors slid open on the sixteenth floor, and as I stepped out, my eyes were immediately drawn to Eden's assistant. He was in tears for some unknown reason, and the people around him were offering him napkins and water in an attempt to console him.I quickly flagged down a girl who was passing by. "What happened to him? Why is he crying?" I asked, my gaze shifting between her and Arden's assistant.The girl looked at me, her eyes filled with sympathy. "Mr. Eden fired him," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.The news hit me like a ton of bricks. Eden had fired his assistant? But why? As I stood there, trying to process the information, It didn't take me long to figure out why. Eden's assistant had spotted me standing there. He stormed across the corridor towards me, his face a mask of fury. He was livid, and he didn't hesitate to vent his frustration on me."Because of you, I got fired!" he spat out, his voice echoing in the catching everyone attention in the corridor

Suddenly, the office door swung open again, breaking the intense silence. Two figures stepped in, their silhouettes stark against the bright light from the hallway. One of them, I recognized immediately - it was Heather." Madam, please you don't have a appointment with Mr Eden and without appointment you can't meet him," the man behind her said." Oh, please don't try to stop me. I am not here to make a scene. I just came here to support my friend at her new job," She said to the man behind her.She looked between Eden and me, her eyes wide with surprise. The other figure, a man I didn't recognize, stood a few steps behind her, his expression unreadable.The butterflies in my stomach stilled, replaced by a sinking feeling. Eden's grip on my arm loosened and he jerked back, as if he'd been burned. He turned to look at Heather, his eyes widening in surprise. A spark lit up his eyes, a contrast to the cold gaze he'd held just moments ago.Heather, oblivious to the tension that had filled

felt a wave of relief wash over me. It felt like I had just walked out of a lion's den alive, all my limbs still intact. I owed it all to Heather. If she hadn't shown up when she did, I would have been stuck in that basement with spiders and crawling insects. The mere thought sent shivers down my spine, and I shook my body to rid myself of the creepy feeling."What the hell was that? Would you like to explain it?" Heather's voice pulled me back from my thoughts. Her eyes were filled with confusion and concern, her brows furrowed in a frown.I turned to face her, taking a deep breath before responding. "I'll explain everything, but I don't think it's safe to talk here. Shall we go get a coffee together?" I suggested, hoping to steer the conversation to a more private setting.Heather nodded in agreement, and together, we walked out of the building and headed towards a nearby coffee shop. We made our way to a quaint little coffee shop tucked away in a quiet corner of the building. The s

Out of the blue, my name echoed from behind. I spun around to find Lara navigating her way through the labyrinth of cubicles in my direction.Her face was set in a stern expression, her eyebrows knitted together in a way that hinted at an impending reprimand. My heart plummeted. I never intended to be late, but the one day I was, it didn't escape attention."Lara," I acknowledged, striving to maintain an even tone. "Good morning."She folded her arms across her torso, "Morning? It's nearly time for lunch. Would you care to justify your late coming?"I gulped, "I... hit the snooze button one too many times. I apologize, it won't recur."Lara exhaled, "Ensure that it doesn't. Timeliness is crucial in this workspace."With that, she pivoted and was about to depart when she added, "Oh, and by the way," Lara turned back to face me, "Mr. Eden has been inquiring about you. This is the twelfth time he's asked about you since morning. I've been making excuses for you."My eyes bulged in astoni

Chapter #58

All of a sudden, Anthony came back into the office along side with a man who was holding a small bag and I wonder who he was and didn't took me much longer to figure it out.Eden let go my hand and got up from his knees next to me and turned around to face Anthony and he announced, " Mr, Eden the doctor has arrived,"I reconsider Anthony words especially the word 'Doctor' and my heart was racing like a race horse. " Finally!" Eden exclaimed and told Anthony to leave them alone and Declan phone begin to ring and excuse and left the room. After they left Eden turned his attention to the doctor." Please, hurry check her up doctor, don't know what happened to her? she just passed out," Eden said with a hint of worry in his voice.The doctor nodded and he placed his bag on the table and pulled out a stethoscope."Let's see what's going on," he said, his voice calm and reassuring. He gently placed the cold stethoscope against my chest, listening to my heartbeat. His brows furrowed in conce

I glanced at the list of tasks I needed to complete by tomorrow. The list seemed endless, each task more daunting than the last. A thought crossed my mind, "How am I supposed to remember all this? I can't even remember my grocery list." Speaking of lists, a realization hit me. I needed to go to Victoria's office to retrieve my resume file before she saw it. That was the most crucial task at hand. But what about Eden's coffee? A smirk played on my lips as I thought, "He can wait, Mr. Arrogant."With a flip of my hair, I spun on my heel and headed towards the elevator. I stepped into the elevator, pressing the button for the 14th floor. The soft hum of the elevator music filled the small space, doing little to calm my racing heart. As the elevator descended, I found myself going over the plan in my head. Get in, find the file, get out. It sounded simple enough, but I knew that things were rarely as simple as they seemed.The elevator came to a halt and the doors slid open, revealing th

I recognized the dress in one of the photos. It was the dress I had fixed, the one I had stayed up all night working on. It looked stunning on the model, just as I had imagined it would.Suddenly, a hand reached out and snatched the photo from my grasp. I looked up to see Lara standing there, her expression stern."What are you doing here?" she demanded, her tone sharp. "You're supposed to be doing your work, not snooping around someone else's hard work."Caught off guard, I stammered, "I... I was just... I recognized the dress. I helped fix it." I hoped that would be enough to explain my curiosity, but from the look on Lara's face, I wasn't so sure.Lara's gaze was skeptical, her eyes narrowing slightly as she studied me. "What are you really doing here?" she asked, her tone sharp.I swallowed hard, my heart pounding in my chest. "Eden gave me a list of tasks to complete," I explained, trying to keep my voice steady. "One of them was to collect fabric samples. I thought this was the
