Semua Bab My Ex-Husband Is My Boss : Bab 1 - Bab 8

HAZEL I would cry myself most times to sleep. Life was hard after my sudden divorce. One moment, I was living the best life I could ever imagine with my husband and the next moment, it was the complete opposite. He offered to give me some money but I refused because I knew I didn't do anything wrong. I took my siblings and left the city. I didn't want anything to remind me of him. He was the one I gave my all to but he tossed me aside when he was tired of me. I could barely provide two meals per day for my siblings because of the nature of my job. I wasn't an illiterate but I couldn't land the perfect job because I had no experience. I was the typical housewife when I was married. What I could find as the highest paying job was the job of a part-time housekeeper. I loved my job because it gave me time to learn other skills and carry out other little tasks for which I got paid. The unexpected happened that morning. I got to my place of work as usual and started with the cleaning. Un

HAZEL: I continued staring at the rejection letter. I didn't know where to start thinking anymore. My thoughts were in chaos and my whole world was gradually crumbling. At this point, there was nothing that could fix it. My phone beeped again, distracting me from my thoughts. I didn't bother to check it and just switched off the phone. I needed to look for a job instead of wallowing in self-pity. I had a short bath, dressed up, and went out with my file neatly tucked in my handbag. This time, I wasn't going to apply online or look for a menial job. I was going to check a nice job and I manifested it in my mind. I locked the door, took in a deep breath, and put a smile on my face. I revisited the hotels I had been to earlier to check if there were any vacancies but as usual, none. I managed to speak to some managers, it turned out they wanted something in return. Something I couldn't give to them. I was so far from home just because I was searching for a nice job. The sun was emitti

HAZEL: Even though Jennie mentioned a lot of things, there were still some important details she skipped. Like, where to get coffee? I walked down to what looked like a general office with different people seated in cube-like spaces, all chattering amongst themselves. "Excuse me?" I interrupted. They all turned their heads to me at once. I swallow in nothing but air before continuing. "Where can I get coffee?" One of them pointed to a door that was just right behind me. I almost banged my forehead for being so stupid as not to pay attention to details. "Thank you," I smiled and turned my back to them. Their stare of scrutiny was something else, I felt like a little girl being scolded in the midst of adults. I was almost done brewing the coffee but it felt as though I was forgetting something. "Good morning there," I heard behind me. I tilted my head to the right to find someone already standing at the door. What was up with these people and not making a sound when opening th

AUTHOR'S POV: The morning sun caused Hazel to shift in her bed. She couldn't sleep all night because of the abdominal pains she felt. Opening her eyes, her eyes landed on her alarm clock. She found out it was past eight. "Oh my God!!" She yelled as she sprang out of bed. This caused intense pain in her lower abdomen but she didn't care. She was on the verge of losing her job just on her second day. "I seriously hate this period of my life." She cursed out loudly as she went about her morning routine. She had a quick bath and put on some clothes, not wanting to know if they matched or not. She didn't even know she was going to get to work. It was Jennie's car she entered on her first day. How the hell did she not think of that? "That's it. I'm f**ked!" She cussed again when we got out of the estate with no signs of a cab or taxi. It was almost nine o'clock and she hadn't gotten to work. She was sure Luca would shout at her. Just as she had already lost hope, a car pulled up in fr
