131: You tricked me

CORRIE"You look uncomfortable." Emmette's voice pulled me back into reality. I’d just waltzed in, taken a seat, and suddenly the words I’d rehearsed a million times refused to leave my lips. I probably looked constipated, anyone could tell. But the truth was simple, the words were lodged somewhere in my throat.I opened my mouth, hoping a sentence, any sentence would slip out effortlessly. Instead, my lips just parted uselessly, and all I felt was my voice abandoning me.I shut my mouth again and cleared my throat, forcing out a dry cough."Are you okay?" Emmette asked, genuine concern in his voice. I nodded quickly and raised a hand, signaling him to give me a second."I’d.like.to.take.the.job.As.yourrr.S-secretary, please."The words stalled out on a loud, dramatic hiss. Emmette’s lips curved into a smile as I gasped for air like I’d just recited an ancient spell."You really couldn’t say that without all the theatrics?" he teased, and my cheeks burned."If you don’t like how I sai

CORRIE"Excuse me—What??" I hissed, horror morphing into my face. "You need to tell Mr Nash CM group withdrew their bid." Penny muttered like I didn't hear her the first time. My eyes still blank out at the news and my heart raced. My first day, I'm already writing a ten page report and I'm barely past the second page, I literally had to memorize every single staff's name and everything Penny taught me about the company.And now this? That man was in a board meeting. He's been there for the past two hours and here I was thinking I could survive the rest of the day without seeing him again.I shake my head, already overwhelmed. "Why can't you do it?" I muttered in pure dread."Mr Nash strictly appointed you as his liaison for critical updates. So it's past my hands." Penny explained and I could feel my world crashing down on me.How could he do this to me? And how did this happen, I just started working as of today.I stood up. Away from the shared desk with Penny as she grabs both m

133: Brief power trip

CORRIEI don't know how long I've been up. But it feels like it's been hours. My head at least ached a bit less and my vision was a bit focused.My surroundings were familiar and it didn't take long for me to realize it was the spare bedroom Kennedy let me stay anytime I paid a visit. Just one thing, I had no idea how I even got here. The last thing I remember was talking to Penny, I was probably in the middle of eating cake and then everything went blank from there.Anytime I recall a bit of my memories, it's like my brain goes on an overload and I start lagging and reboot with little or no memories of what triggered it.The doctor did say that it was normal to experience this the first time it happened, but it's only happened only that one time with the Remingtons and on most occasions when I'm close to Emmette. That was mostly why I kept my distance from him but now that I was working for him, one wrong move could very well be the end of me. What was the point of constantly being t

134: What pain feels like

CORRIEPenny was right. Even though I didn't want to admit it. The little memories I have of Emmette, although they're a bit blurry, I haven't recalled anyone of him being cruel. But the again, I didn't like having them. They hurt to have so I just avoided him mostly because I despised him. I hated the fact that the one person I wanted to remember more than ever was the very one I could barely recall. My memories of Salem were gravely thin, and slipping through my fingers, and even the moments I was sure were real were fading as if they had never existed at all. Like it was all lies.It terrified me. Because in a way if I ever gave Emmette a chance, I would lose Salem completely."Maybe then, you'll get the chance to know me for yourself. You can decide if I really did kill Salem"I recalled Emmette's words at that moment and it felt like a sign. I knew what I had to do. If I needed to figure out Salem's death, I have to be close to Emmette. As much as it displeased me. Who knows if

135: Go against the deal

MIMII opened the double doors as my stylist and personal assistant follow me into my walk in closet. There i met eyes with Harriet, one of the most famous designers in the country. She gave me a small bow before escorting me to a rack of clothes she had brought for me to try.My P.A. pulled out a chair for me as I sank into it, and my stylist knelt to slip off my shoes. Harriet stepped forward, carrying a red strapless gown with an illusion neckline her own design carefully embroidered across the fabric.I studied the dress, every stitch and pattern down to the sorry excuse of color."It's an unworn exclusive," she said, her voice trembling. "I've been working on it for months."I narrowed my eyes at her. What made this different from every other brand that had made the same dress?"M-modern minimalism is so in trend right now. And with Harriet's design, and your beauty. All eyes will be on you." My stylist explained as I looked intently at the dress. I twisted my lips into a pout of

136: Who else but this bitch

MIMIEvery single time, when it feels like I'm at the top of the world, when it feels like I've finally won. Somehow, Corrie is always at the scene. As if haunting me, a grey reminder that no matter what I do, my victory is all an illusion."I apologize Mrs Remington, but I can't let you see Mr Nash." So when she said this, it felt like another fight had began.I was at the corridor, almost close to the door to the executive board room. Every other person tried to stop me but failed so when Corrie stood before me, it felt like some sick twisted test."It will only be for a minute." I said trying to maneuver my way in but she stepped right forward, blocking me.I took a step back, sizing her from top to bottom. "Get out of my way Corrie." I hissed as I tried to push past her, but she wouldn’t budge. With one forceful shove, she pushed me back. I staggered, lost my footing, and crashed to the floor, my hair spilling over my face as I gasped for air."Are you crazy?" I hissed, staring in
