"Lia!" I heard her scream as she immediately greeted me when I opened the door, her eyebrows almost tangled. "Why did you just come home, do you know what time is it and you didn't even manage to call us?!""Honey..." Dad tried to calm her but she gently pushed Dad's hand that was holding her.She stepped forward until she was only a few inches away from me, "Lia, think about your dad and me who are worried about you. We already let you last night to do whatever you want, and if you are angry because I said something bad to Sara then let me know; it's not like this that you made us worry."I opened my mouth but I couldn't say anything to what my Mom said, I didn't even know if I should speak or keep my mouth shut and let her say whatever she wanted. I know I’m wrong for not informing them about the welcome party but why did she jump to the conclusion that I'm doing it for them to worry?I just shook my head, "I'm sorry, it won't happen again.""Hey, how many times have I heard that fr

"What kind of question is that, Raziel?" Darius's voice was seriously threatening as he stared at Raziel, "Asking something like that is not appropriate, she's my secretary.""I did not ask something that will harm any of you, though." He looked at me, "Did you feel harassed by my question?""T-that's..." I looked at Darius, "I don't know." I quickly bent my head to avoid the two of them looking at me."See, she doesn't feel harassed at all. So why are you even reacting like that, Darius?” He asked as if teasing him more and more.Sir Darius was unable to answer when Rachel back again from the bathroom, “Hmm? Is there something wrong, why do you guys look like that?” She asked curiously while looking at us one after another."It's nothing, your brother is just being himself again in front of my secretary." Sir Darius said emphatically causing Rachel to laugh for reasons I don't know, and... but I don't want to know it at, though."Gosh, brother! When are you going to change that attit

Darius's POV"Sir, are you there?" The woman on the other side of my office door asked, "I just wanted to ask something, our team leader is already busy."I first looked in the mirror to make sure I was presentable, "Yes, come in." I said cheerfully and smiled even though it hadn't entered yet.After a few moments, the door slowly opened and one of the designers entered, "Sir, I'm just here to ask your opinion about these designs." She showed the designs she came up with as she continued to discuss them.I looked at it carefully one by one and listened to every detail she said, "I think everything is fine, but this one stands out. This one most likely describes the summer fest, but there are still details that need some improvement.”"Hmm... It's good to hear that one of my designs is approved in your eyes sir, thank you." She again said but the tone of her voice changed, it became softer as her fingers crawled up my hand and my arm.Oh... So, it's not really about her design, I knew

I feel my head throbbing when I slowly open my eyes, it's not even a few hours before I fell asleep last night thinking about what I'm going to do about what Mom said. How was she able to agree to something like that?A blind date without asking about my opinion.I know she's my mom, but this kind of thing is too much.I want to cry, sometimes it's tiring to please what Mom wants to happen. Sometimes I understand, but the other things she does are too much.My eye was puffy and the under was black, even though I felt a little dizzy and weak, I forced myself to get ready to go to work. I can't slow down now, I have a lot to take care of and I don't want to be a hindrance to the company.It was quiet around when I got to the kitchen, Mom and Dad were gone and only a note stuck on the fridge was left. Why didn't they even tell me about their departure, mom and I talked last night.I just put the sandwich that Mom prepared in the bag and left the house to find a ride, but as soon as I lef

"Good morning, Sir!" The people in the design department stood up at the same time as we entered the meeting room, they were smiling at us but I couldn't look at them for too long.I know that I cleaned myself in the bathroom in Sir Darius' office but I feel like they will know what we did in the elevator if I look at them for a long time, the guilt is still here..."Good morning, is everyone ready?" Sir Darius asked them to sit in the designated chair prepared for everyone. "This is not the official meeting, so you don't need to be nervous. I just want to hear every opinion for now, in the way, we can discuss it.”"Yes, Sir!" They all said in unison.They started talking about the project and I just listened quietly in the corner and took notes on everything I think is important, so this is the feeling of working in a big company.I can't stop myself from staring at Darius as he starts to explain what he wants to happen at the summer fest, given that he's already handsome but he's ev
