Xavier my Nemesis! 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1 - 챕터 6

“Good morning Mr Crest”. I greeted my arrogant boss and as usual, he strolled past me with a frown on his face not even acknowledging my existence. “Asshole,” I muttered under my breath. I continue to type away at my desk as I am very busy. It isn't like there’s ever a day that I am not busy or overworked, I thought to myself. I took this job, in hopes of working for just a few months to raise money to start a business and be self-employed but I find it hard to leave now because my boss constantly threatens to give us a bad review should we want to leave his company and go elsewhere and I haven't been able to raise enough capital for the business yet. I have lots of bills to pay and I have to strategize properly before starting so I wouldn't incur losses and debts. So for now I’m absolutely stuck in TechUp. “Sydney!” I suddenly heard my boss call out. “Yes sir!” I answered scurrying to put the files on my desk in order while also hurrying not to waste this evil man’s time as his te

“Whoa! Breathe Sydney— what happened?!” My best friend’s voice filled with panic asked in perplexity. “What’s happening Syd?” She paused, “I’m beginning to get very worried— did someone die?” She asked worriedly. “Okay, breathe— in, out, yes just like that” she says trying to get me stable. After inhaling and exhaling for a few minutes, the hiccups subsided and I could talk a bit more clearly, I started baring my heart out to Ava. “Oh Ava, my dreams are so shattered” I echoed. “Wait where are you?” She asked “I’m sitting in a toilet stall at a hospital” Ava shrieked as soon as I said that. “Oh my God Sydney, I’m on my way now!” I could hear her car keys jingling hurriedly. “Oh no I’m fine, well at least physically but my mental health is in shambles right now” I said, more to myself than her. “I wasn’t involved in an accident or anything like that” I assured her. “So what then is the matter?” She asked. I sucked in air before I started, “Well technically, I have less than two yea

I left the office very aggravated. Who does Xavier think he is?..... To propose a flimsy fake marriage to me. Does he think I am one of his whores? I wondered to myself. I hadn’t even bothered to read the whole of the contract before I rejected it. I started to blame myself for saying no when he asked if I was seeing someone— I just didn’t know what he was up to. I was very startled by the question and because ‘no’ has always been my default answer to someone asking if I was seeing someone for the longest time now, I blurted it out–I was uncomfortable and I wasn't thinking straight when he randomly threw the question at me. I haven’t dated anyone in almost two years now. I instantly thought about Drake and how he would feel if he heard about all that happened and my part to play in it. I decided to keep it from him and call Ava instead. “You wouldn’t believe what happened at work today” I said to Ava after she picked up my call. “Omg, what happened again in your dramatic place of w
