Emily’s POV “Thanks,” I told the salesgirl as she handed me my cup of matcha tea.I had decided to try something other than coffee today.“Hi, you,” A certain masculine voice, one which I was gradually growing accustomed to, wafted into my ears from beside me.Smiling, I tilted my head sideways to face him, “Hey, Oscar.”“Matcha tea?” He frowned, staring at the cup in my hand. “Is this for you or someone else?”“It's mine. I just decided to go for a change today,” I shrugged, as he collected his cup of iced coffee from the salesgirl.“That's cool,” He nodded, glancing down at his wristwatch. “We have about twenty five minutes before work starts. How about we spend some time here?”“I'm down with it,” I shrugged again.“Do you want to sit at the table beside the window? It seems quite cozy,” Oscar said.“It sure does, let's take it,” I nodded, before we both walked to said table.My face scrunched up in distaste as I took a sip of the matcha tea. It tasted nothing like I'd thought it

Donovan’s POV The minute I stepped into my Maserati, my phone vibrated with a call from Carlos.Switching on the ignition, I connected the phone to the car's Bluetooth before answering the call.“Good morning, sir. I've gotten the information you requested for,” He divulged, and a smile curved my lips.“Really?”“Yes, sir,” He replied. “Should I have it printed and on your table before you come in?”“Are you with it right now?” I inquired, swerving my car toward the left part of the road, that led to my company.“Yes, sir.”“Good, now read it to me,” I ordered. “And don't leave anything out.”“Alright, sir,” Carlos said. “Miss Emily was born Emily Jasmine Wright on September 13th 2001, sir.”Which meant she will be twenty four in five months, I thought, as I started racking my brain on what sort of gift would be great for her.But then again, there was still a long time till then.“She became an orphan eight years ago after her parents died in a house explosion,” He continued. “Miss

Confrontation

Emily’s POV “I'm done with the sales memo, ma'am,’’ I told Pamela, as she reclined against her chair with a huge exhale.“What will I do without you, Emily?” She sighed, sitting up. “You're such a great help to me honestly. You know what, lunch is on me today.”Presently, I was in her office, doing her work for her as usual.“Really?” I asked, utterly surprised.Clearly, Pamela had woken up on the right side of the bed.For the past five months that I'd been working here, she had never offered to buy me lunch, even though I did literally all her work for her.So it was quite strange.“Yes, what’s with the shocked face?” Pamela huffed. “What do you want to eat? I'm placing an order right now.”“I want curry rice with chicken,” I replied. “Thanks, ma'am.”“You are welcome. What drink will you like to have?” “Malt drink, ma'am,” I said, to which she hummed and nodded, while I stared at her, inwardly wondering what could have really brought up such change.“So,” Pamela began, placing do

Emily’s POV My heart scudded in trepidation as I made my way out of the elevator, the unhinged thoughts and emotions assailing my mind neverending.Donovan, the man who I'd nearly lost my mind over thinking I had no chance with, also loved me.And according to him, he had loved me for a while now.Yet I had been so stupid that I'd ran out of his office instead of sitting down with him, so we could have a proper conversation like adults.“Why do you look like you saw a ghost?” Sarah's voice wafted into my ears, jerking me out of my reverie.Only then did I realize that I'd been so deep in thoughts that I didn't realize when I entered the office.All three of my officemates were now staring at me as though I'd grown horns.“I-I'm not feeling too well, so I have to leave early,” I fibbed. “You guys can have my lunch.”“Oh,” Sarah said, moving closer to palm my forehead. “Your temperature is normal but you're sweating profusely. Don't worry, I'll inform Pamela about your condition. Just

Awkward

Donovan’s POV Sliding my hands into my pocket, I rested my gaze on the city view from my office window, my thoughts straying to yesterday.When I'd ruined things even more by confessing abruptly to Emily.The fact that she'd told me she was trying to get over me had made me utter those words, without even stopping to think whether the moment was right or not.And as if that wasn't enough, I had cornily asked her to give us a second chance.“Fuck,” I muttered, running my hand through my hair roughly.But then again, it wasn't as if I was completely in the wrong.What else could I have told her to calm her but the truth?And that same truth had made her rush out of my office like she'd encountered a demon.What the hell was I supposed to even do now?Perhaps I should have ran after her instead of letting her leave because I wanted to give her space.Former me would have never thought of doing that.Hell, I'd have ran after her demanding an answer, and now that I thought of it, Emily ha
