"Mahalaga sa akin, of course! At bakit ba gusto mo iyon?" tanong naman niya. "Ako lang dapat magtatanong," angal naman nito. "Bakit nga mahalaga?" "Regalo sa akin ng kuya mo iyon noong intern pa lang ako at ikaw na ang nagsabi na kapag regalo dapat iniingatan. Kaya ibalik mo sa akin ang opisina ko!" "Paano ba iyan? I hate to think that it's a gift from Jaxon, you're not going to like what I'm going to ask for." Nainis siya pero pinili niyang kumalma. "Then tell me, gagawin ko." "You sure?" "Why not?

Ibu mertuaku mengalami kecelakaan mobil dan masuk ke ruang gawat darurat. Setelah menelepon suamiku yang merupakan seorang pengacara sebanyak lebih dari 20 kali, barulah dia menjawabnya. "Kamu bikin ulah apa lagi? Stacy lagi ada sedikit masalah, aku lagi bantu dia. Jangan bikin keributan." Aku menahan perasaan tertekan dan memberitahunya bahwa ibu mengalami kecelakaan dan memintanya mentransfer 200 juta. Namun, dia malah percaya pada ucapan mantan kekasihnya, lalu memarahiku. "Apa hubungannya kecelakaan ibumu sama aku? Jangan harap bisa ambil uang dariku untuk keluargamu. Jangan ganggu, aku lagi sibuk!" Telepon ditutup dengan tergesa-gesa. Tak lama kemudian, mertua dinyatakan gagal diselamatkan dan meninggal dunia. Tiga hari kemudian saat persidangan dimulai, aku malah melihat suamiku duduk di kursi pembela.

Aku hanya tertawa sinis dan melemparkan kwitansi biaya rumah sakit dan surat kematian ke wajahnya. Dasar bodoh ... dia bahkan belum tahu, ibunya sudah tidak ada.

Kyla Adams is a workaholic. I mean, who wouldn't be when you're working your dream job? She is one of the many writers for a startup business in North Carolina called "Clicked," where the focus is writing about hot gossip, new trends, and out of the ordinary experiences. Think of this social media app as an online magazine, where the workers are gossip hungry millennials and Gen Z'ers all trying to top one another. And the best part- Dakota Kramer; the hot young CEO at the top floor of the office building. Kyla is the job. She thrives on gossip and is a phenomenal writer, but lately her articles have been dryer than her dating life. After Dakota threatens to fire her if she doesn't step out of her comfort zone, Kyla and her friends drunkenly email Dakota an exciting new article proposal titled "EleDATE." What does the hell does this mean? Kyla must ride the elevator every morning, starting from floor 1 up to floor 50-the top floor- with a hand picked single guy from the office. The catch? She's blindfolded. She must rely on her instincts about the "bachelors" and the impressions they make during their limited time riding together- and they must remain anonymous. With over 100 employees in the building, 50 floors, and 20 single men willing to participate, this will sure make for an intriguing article and a literal make or break career moment. And let's face it... there's just something about elevators.
