As she walked aimlessly through the corridors of her workplace, Kimberly fanned her face which felt warm all of a sudden.She thought she had everything under control, then why is she suddenly reacting to something like this.Kimberly looked up, and when she saw the bathroom sign, she went in. Standing by the sink, Kimberly splashed cold water on her face."I can do this. I can do this," Kimberly chanted while looking at herself through the mirror. "I worked hard to be here. I deserve to be here. And I am not letting a few simple tricks get the best of me. I am going to stand my ground here even if I have to against everyone!" Kimberly assured herself just like she did this morning before coming to work.After her interaction with Nick, her boss, her mother and sister and then Declan, Kimberly had decided that she wasn't going to give up no matter what it took."I have a lot of work to do. And I can't disappoint. I am going to show them that I am a lot more than they take me for," Kim

Kimberly sat at her desk, mouse in hand, as she moved the cursor across the screen, meticulously going through the presentation on her computer when Declan came over, standing beside her."The meeting's starting in about thirty from now," Declan said, looking at his wristwatch. "And if the other party is punctual, they would arrive five or ten minutes before the time," Declan added only to lookat Kimberly and realize that her attention wasn't on him.Did she even notice his presence at all? Declan wondered."Hmmm, let's see," Declan cleared his voice and leaned over so that he was right beside her and at her level while his eyes focus on the screen."Declan, what are you doing?!" Kimberly whisper yelled, and when she turned her head, he was too close that in one or two inches, her face would be buried in his neck."I'm looking for whatever you are looking for," Declan said nonchalantly.

Jess said in a whisper. "How could you hide it from us? I mean, I respect you really. You gave all your titles to come serve food in a restaurant.
