GIAI drank cold water first before pressing the red button. “Sofia, can you call the finance department?" I asked my secretary."Do you need a report, Ma'am?" Sofia, one of my assistants and the oldest among them at forty-nine years old, asked. Despite her age, she's very quick on her feet and very well-organized."No. I need Kimberly Cueto in my office.""Yes, Ma'am.""Oh, and Sofia, can you call HR also? I need Leilani to be present when I talk to Kim. I need them here as soon as possible," I added. She was about to hang up the phone. Fortunately, she hadn't done so yet."No worries, Ma'am. I will call them now and ask them to come up here.""Thank you."After I spoke with Sofia, I called Cleo as well. I need her to be in the room. Kim has been in this company longer than I have. She's the same age as JL, so she was already here when my parents were still alive. She wants to be the financial chief and so far, I haven't seen any flaws in her work. It's just that her attitude sucks.

GIAAfter Cleo and I finished eating lunch, we returned to the office. I prepared my meeting with Mr. Soler in the boardroom. "Good afternoon, Mr. Soler. How are you I stood up and shook his hand as he approached. My secretary sat beside me to take notes. "I'm good, thank you. How are you?" he replied with a smile. He is in his late sixties and is acquainted with my father. He sat on the chair opposite me."Fine, thanks. Can I offer you something to drink? Coffee, tea, water?""Just water is fine," he responded. He unbuttoned his coat for comfort. I signaled my secretary to get some water. There is a built-in fridge in the conference room. The table was designed like a buffet table on the side because my father used to host dinners here. "So, let's get down to business," I said to him. We both opened the folders in front of us. "So, you have a new brandy and you wanted a commercial for it. Do you have any ideas in mind of how you want it to be?""I want something different," he c

UNKNOWN POVLook at the opportunity now. It feels like it was just yesterday when he was so timid and couldn't break a plate. Now, he's fierce and doesn't seem to accept anyone's criticism.

GIATWO days later I went shopping with Cleo. She was so excited she almost tripped on the carpet. I went to pick her up, but she wasn't ready so I waited for her in the living room. JL went out with Rolf as he is leaving tomorrow morning.I was checking my phone, but there were no messages. I don't have a lot of contacts anyway so I just kept browsing on Facebook. High school was not something I want to remember because it was horrible. We all have to grow up sometime. The head of our student council at the time made a private group for our batch and everyone is added there — including me, much to my dismay.They are planning a reunion six months from now and they are looking for sponsors. Why do I have a feeling they would ask me? I don't even want to go."Hi stranger," a man with a baritone voice greeted me. It was Corbin."Hey," I got up to give him a hug. He stiffened and patted me in the back. "I haven't seen you in awhile. What are you doing here?" He has a place downtown, but

GIADAPHNE is friendly and we seem to hit it off well. She gave me side swept bangs and layered my hair so that it would be easier for me to blow dry it. I have to admit, I feel lighter with the hairstyle she did. She also suggested that if I was in a hurry, I can always dry it and put it in a messy bun. With my side swept bangs, it would look more sophisticated without trying.I didn't really want to color my hair, but she also suggested that I can get a few highlights, so she gave me some ash blondes here and there. It's barely noticeable now, but if I am out in the sun, it will be more visible. I like it. It's a big change for me. I mean, this whole thing is a total makeover.Our last stop is vision care. After I was tested, I was given contact lenses. I'm not sure how comfortable I would be using them all the time, so I asked for fashionable-looking eyeglasses too. Cleo picked out about ten pairs for me to try, and after eliminating the ones I didn't like, I was down to three. It

GIAJL came in no time. He was dressed casually and I know, he is not going to the office at all. Everyone was staring at him as he walked towards me but he only had eyes for me. The little bud between my legs pooled. Jeez. It’s scary how he affects me with just one look."Hey, hon!" he greeted me as he approached. The Dolce smell from him is enough to make my legs wobble."Hi. I'm sorry, did I disturb you? I was just despe—" I was cut off as we stood by the office door and he kissed me on the lips."You were saying?" His eyes narrowed.I hissed at him and whispered, "Why did you kiss me in front of these people? JL, this is a workplace.""Workplace or not, I will kiss my wife whenever I want."I gave him a stern look. When I glanced at the employees outside, some of them had heart-shaped eyes while the others looked jealous.When I looked back at him, I noticed a hint of lipstick on his lips. I wiped it away with my thumb and cleaned it. He had an amused look on his face."What time

KIMI can’t believe he would say no to me. I bared my heart and soul to him! I fucked so many men who looked like him and made them pretend that they are him.And just because of that ugly girl, he would reject me? I am more beautiful! Smarter! He always takes away what's mine. He better be prepared, I'm just getting started.I parked my pink car in front of the apartment. If I didn't need his help, I would have paid him a large sum and given him a place to stay.The door is unlocked so I went in without knocking. The house was quiet and there was no food on the table. Where is that girl? It wasn't until I walked upstairs to her bedroom that I realized someone must be with her."Oh yes! Right there! Ahh!"Tramp! I walked downstairs and waited for them to finish. I poured wine into a glass and drank. I have to speed up my plan if I want JL to be with me and get my revenge on Gia at the same time. That bitch keeps taking what is rightfully mine.Ten minutes later and she came out with a

GIAOUR weekend was well spent. JL and I had bulalo (beef soup) and rides at Skyranch. He is still a kid at heart. Can you believe it, we even rode the carousel.Before Saturday ended, we drove to Mabini. We went diving at eight in the morning. I was rummaging through my clothes to find my swimsuit. Can you believe this man? He wants me to wear board shorts and a rashguard. I have a one-piece swimsuit at home, but that's not what he brought. He actually bought specifically what he wanted me to wear, with the help of his cousin.We had fun going underwater and seeing the corals and different fishes. After diving, he and I went for brunch."I meant to ask you something," I said to him."Shoot.""Do you know Kim? I mean, she idolizes you and she has said multiple times that we're not a good match.""Honestly? I don't remember her. That day she made a pass at me, she looked desperate. To the point that she is willing to be my mistress." I was shocked."What?"He nodded. "I swear, I am not

GIAALL I could feel in my husband’s voice was disgust and anger. I know it's difficult for him to share this with Corbin because I'm present."She wanted to give me a head and she didn’t stop there. She got up and straddled me, and then exposed her breast. I pushed her and she fell on the floor. Obviously, she cried, but she pleaded for me to choose her and leave my wife because we are supposedly perfect for each other. She insisted we met five years ago at Ethereal. I remember going there with Rolf though. I should ask him."My husband looked at me."What is it?" I asked him."Do you have a picture of her?""Why in the world would I have a picture of her?" I looked incredulously at him.He winced. "I was going to send it to Rolf and asked if he remembered her."Corbin interrupted us. "I'm going behind your company's server, Gia, to get her picture. I am pretty sure her resume is not entirely true."JL spoke. "If this Bettina is Karen, what is her last name?" he asked with a furrowed

GIALAST night was the first time JL and I didn't make love. For some reason, we were both content with just holding each other.His breathing is even indicating he has fallen asleep. While I, on the other hand, am wide awake. If not for my husband's arms wrapped around me, I would be up pacing the room or going through my father's old things.After talking to Dad, I became even more confused. My father-in-law went to the same high school and when I asked him if he knew Kassandra Cueto, my father-in-law fell silent for a moment. I put him on speaker so that JL and I could both hear him.FLASHBACK | EARLIER THIS EVENING"Dad! Thank God you finally answered your phone. Where have you been?" JL is close to losing his shit. I can't blame him, we haven't dealt with something like this before."Sorry, son. Your mother was not feeling well, and I took her to the doctor. Then I got a call that my case has been dropped and they apologized for any inconvenience. I was told that there was a misu
