Caught up in the moment and not wanting to come off as rude or disobedient, I place my hand in his as we start to dance without any music, which felt very weird. I know you can sometimes dance without music and make sense of it, but not in this type of situation.Mr. Jordan has been acting quite odd today, starting from the speechless gaze after seeing me in the dress to tucking my hair behind my ears and then wiping the chocolate off my mouth, all in the presence of everyone. It felt awkward; these aren't things bosses are supposed to do for their staff, except they've known each other for way too long and are well acquainted with one another, or they are romantically involved with one another.Did he forget for a split second that he is my boss when he did that in the presence of everyone, including his employees? I don't want to be the new office gossip of the week. Cases like this are known to spread like wildfire. I just want to lay low all through my time working for Mr. Baker a

"Sincerely, thank you for everything you do for Ray and me. I was a little bit disturbed when your mom left because of how well she and Ray bonded. You came, and it all felt like she never did.""You don't need to thank me. It's the least I could do. Your family has always been there for my mom and me; even when it was never your father's obligation to pay my fees or send me money, he still did. I owe it to your family because my mom and I wouldn't be living this way if you people didn't help us, especially after my dad up and left.""Why do people wake up one day and leave their families without ever looking back?""I don't have an answer to that because I also can't imagine why," Patricia says."Your mom is and will always be a mother figure to Ray.""Will it be out of place for me to ask about Ray's mom?"Besides Mrs. Charity, Tony, and his wife, no one else knows about Ray's mom."You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to.""I want to; just give me a few minutes.""Take

As I lay in the stillness of my dimly lit room, my thoughts inevitably drifted back to the enchanting evening. I was extremely shocked and surprised at Mr. Jordan’s actions today.The memory played in my mind like a favourite old film. Despite my initial surprise, I had allowed myself to be swept away by Mr. Jordan and the unexpected connection between us. Mr. Jordan, known for his stern demeanour, had transformed into a graceful dancer, guiding me with surprising ease. It sounded crazy at first to dance without music, but it felt really nice.I saw a side of him that I had never seen before—vulnerable, genuine, and deeply human. The lines of hierarchy blurred as we moved in harmony, lost in the dance and the conversation. I smiled just recollecting the entirety of today; I felt like a dignitary in the dress I wore; I enjoyed the company of Tony’s wife; and most of all, I enjoyed the company of Mr. Jordan.I was stupefied when he asked me to join them on their trip to Seychelles, whic

Clearing the site for the Ravier project is taking almost the whole day, yet we haven’t really done much. The entire building, including the parking lot, is to sit on ten acres. Despite my helmet, I can still feel the heat from the scorching sun. Since the majority of the workers are taking a break, I could make use of the opportunity to grab a drink as well. There's a restaurant that just opened around the corner.“Jane, Paul, I want to get something not too far from here. I won’t be gone for long, but if my attention is needed, please call me.” I say as I take off my helmet and dab my face. The sun did not come out to play today, jeez.“Yes sir.”In no time, I was at the restaurant. I might also get something to eat because today is Patricia’s free day and she won't be back home until late in the evening. Overhead, some staff at the site praise their steak and rice. A waitress arrives at my table with a small notepad and a pen, smiling.“What would you like, sir?”“Any energy drink

Imagine the nerve. I literally had to beg Bryan to come out so we could see today on my day off. I literally had to beg a jobless man to see me when he had practically nothing important to do. I'm so pissed. For how long am I going to keep up with this?I put a lot of effort into my look because I want him to see how good I look in case he's forgetting, hence this lackadaisical attitude.The date was going great until I got a call from my mom. She was groaning, and I could hardly hear her before the line went off."I'm sorry, Bryan, I have to go; my mom just called, and she didn’t sound too well. I have to go check up on her."What do you mean you have to go check up on her just because she didn’t sound well? She can take care of herself; I’m sure it’s nothing serious.” He says, sounding very nonchalant, like he didn’t even care at all. I know he and my mom headbutt practically all the time because she thinks he's not the ideal man for me, but he should at least pretend to care."I ju

"Miss Patricia, let’s go dish the food. My stomach won’t stop grumbling.”“Why don’t you and Ray set up the game? Jordan and I will dish out the food. Isn’t that right?” She says she is giving me an eye signal."Correct.” I respond raising the bag containing the food I ordered. I know Mrs. Charity has been itching so much to find out why I asked her to pull such a stunt.“Start spilling," she says after peeking to be sure Patricia is nowhere in sight.I tell her everything that happened earlier in the day and also disclose my feelings towards Patricia to her. She grabs my hands and starts to dance salsa.“Spin me around, gentleman.”Ok, this was not the reaction I was expecting. Don’t tell me she belongs in the queue of people who have been trying to ship us."I never liked that boy!”“That makes two of us.”“I don’t see any bottles to be popped anywhere." Mrs. Charity says."Mother, what’s the celebration?” Patricia waltz in catching us unaware.“Life. Yes, life.” Mrs. Patricia says

My dreams of waking up in the Seychelles come to an end this morning, as I am ready and packed to travel—or rather, take to the skies—and I couldn't be more excited about it. Although I have never gone on a destination vacation, as they are called, I'm glad I have the opportunity to, and guess what? Mr. Jordan has taken care of everything, so I don't have to pay a single dime. If I continue to receive all these treatments, I could put into consideration making a career out of housekeeping and nannying."Come on, Rachel, hurry up; you don't want to miss the flight.""We won't be missing the flight; we're flying in Daddy's jet," she replies. Sometimes I forget how rich they are."Alright then, just make sure not to forget anything, okay?""Yes, Tricia, and besides, Daddy can easily get anything I forget, but I think I've got everything now.""Great, good girl."I return to my room to check and make sure I'm not forgetting anything because I can't afford to. Once I make sure that everyth

"Daddy I wrote a to-do list for my vacation. You want to see it?""Yes, baby, after we settle in, but firstly, you have to promise me that you will stay away from the pool and water except when an adult is with you.""I promise, Dad. I know not to go close to infinity pools.""Good girl. How am I so lucky to have you in my life? Come here.""Dad, you are going to have me all mushed up now," she says, hugging me."Here is the key to your villa. I assure you that you, your wife, and your child will love it here. I'll leave you to settle in, and once you are ready for site-seeing, ring me. I'll introduce you to your tour guide.""She is....""Are you trying to say something in Seychellois Creole?" The resort staff asks"No. How do you say thank you, though?""Mersi""French""Not really.""Ok. So how do I say goodbye?""Oreswar ""Perfect." "Daddy, let's take a tour of our villa, and after that, I want to see the Aldabross tortoises, then go hiking, and thereafter buy some Seyechellois

I settle down on the rustic wooden table of our beachfront villa, a soft breeze carrying the scent of the ocean through the open windows. My notebook lay open before me, and I began jotting down ideas for our upcoming adventure in Seychelles while going through popular places to visit and fun things to do here.Anse Lazio Beach comes up a lot in my search, and with these good reviews, I’ll definitely suggest a visit to Anse Lazio. It's known for its soft sands and pristine waters. Swimming, sunbathing, and water sports would be the perfect way to unwind, and since we all love water, it is the perfect idea. I include snorkelling at Sainte Anne Marine National Park for a glimpse of the underwater world.A snorkelling excursion to this marine park is a must. I’ve always wanted to go snorkelling, and this is a great opportunity to do so. I add other things to the list, like cultural exploration, exploring the local culture, visiting markets and art galleries, and savouring traditional Seyc

“We haven’t spent 24 hours here, and I’ve had so much fun. Ray, you and your dad might have to travel back without me.” I say dropping on the bed.“Too bad Daddy is going to leave without us. I’m going to miss my friends in Manhattan. Especially Daisy.” She says, faking tears.“We can send her letters." I respond playing along.“Or I can call her.”"True, that skipped my mind.”“Don’t go, please," she says, coming to sit close to me.“Me?” I ask, shocked by how quickly the conversation changed.“Yes.”“I was joking when I said I wasn't going back with you to New York.”“I know, but that's not what I'm talking about. I heard Daddy tell Mr. Tony that the search for a new replacement is becoming more tedious than he expected. Do I give you troubles, Aunt Patricia?” she asks."No, baby, why?”“I don’t know. My mom left, Mrs. Charity did too, and now you want to go too. Everybody leaves me except Dad, Grandpa, and Grandma.”“Baby, come here. I’m not leaving because you are bad or anything
