Michael “You shouldn’t be here…” I muttered, sipping my whiskey right after. She smiled at me and began to trace an invisible line on my hand.“I love it when you say things like that,” Georgina replied. “I love doing things that are um… forbidden. The fact that I shouldn’t be here is the reason I want to stay here as long as possible.”“I don’t know what you mean,” I muttered, showing no interest.“It is simple. Even a three-year old would understand,” she fumed. She grabbed her glass and drank her whiskey in one shot.“You’ll get drunk if you drink so fast,” I told her gently.“You don’t need to be worried about me,” she muttered as she hit me on the shoulder playfully. I turned to her and gave her a scornful look,“The person I’m worried about right now isn’t you. It is me. I am afraid you would get drunk and start saying obscene things and interrupt the meeting I have today. Didn’t I tell you how important it is? You shouldn’t be here, darling.”“I want to,” she replied, her voic

NatashaKenzie was the one who drove me to the office building. To help me, Bruce sent both Kelvin and Jeff to help. He had done enough and now, it was all in my hands.An emergency meeting had been called for the core staff members of Stamford Fashion. There was tension everywhere and my presence must have spread even more panic.“Do we have any information about the arsonists?” I asked, looking at the faces gathered around me.“I spoke with the chief of security before this meeting and it hasn’t been concluded that it was arson,” Kelvin told me calmly.“But there is a high possibility that it was arson, isn’t there?” I asked coldly.Kelvin nodded, “Yes, you could say that.”“Then find the arsonists!” I shouted, hitting my hand on the table for special effect.“Whoever they were, they must have had some help from the inside,” Jeff interrupted.This would be my first time working with him. I have heard he was competent but I haven’t checked that for myself yet.“What drove you to that

Natasha I had over a hundred reports to tend to. The work had piled up from the time I had taken my vacation.Even though Kenzie had tried to take on my tasks, she couldn’t do them as well as I would. I began to go through the reports nonstop.“It’s time for lunch, director,” Kenzie told me, trying to urge me to stand up. I didn’t budge from where I was seated.“I need to finish going through these reports. You should go get lunch by yourself. Get a hamburger or something for me on your way back,” I replied, putting all of my focus into my work.“You didn’t have breakfast either. At this rate, you will collapse,” Kenzie muttered.I finally raised my head to look at her. She looked really worried about me.“Skipping breakfast and lunch won’t kill me. Don’t you know there are people who go three days or more without food or water? I am not even feeling hungry or thirsty right now. I’m totally fine,” I told her in a bid to reassure her.“I don’t believe it,” she replied with a shrug. “I

BruceNatasha and I stared at each other, each hoping the other would stand down. I was determined this time around.“Let’s think of it this way…” Natasha began to say. “If we get rid of Kenzie right now, the whole thing ends. We don’t get anything.”“We save ourselves from another betrayal. I think that’s enough,” I replied wittingly.“Why settle for that when we can get even more?” Natasha questioned. I smiled at her,“I know you are saying this just to save Kenzie. It’s not as if you really want us to use her as a double agent.”“Well, think of it as killing two birds with one stone. I assure you, everyone will be happy at the end of the day,” she said convincingly.“No, not me,” I replied. “I don’t believe in taking back someone who has gone all out to destroy me. If she ever considered betraying us, there is nothing that would stop her from doing it again.”“I’m trying to convince you here. Can you be more flexible, please?” she asked. I could tell she was getting frustrated. I s

Michael “Do what you must to keep your cover intact. I will take care of things on my own end,” I told her right before ending the call.I sat on the sofa and placed the phone on the table. Even without looking up, I could tell that Georgina was staring at me angrily. I simply waited for her to talk.“You put your job over me every single time. How do you think that makes me feel?” she asked solemnly. She sounded more hurt than angry.I raised my head and looked at her. She had tears in her eyes. I walked towards her and tried to hold her. She pushed me away the first time and finally, she succumbed. I held her firmly.“I’m sorry, darling. I just can’t help it…” I muttered.“If we are to have a long relationship, you will need to be able to help it,” she told me firmly. “I do not want a boyfriend who wouldn’t pick me over his job.”“Fine, I will try to be better,” I replied coolly.She wiped her tears with my shirt and pushed me away right after. She cleared her throat before asking,
