A Little Like Fate 13~ Searching for his mother
LEVI "Where's my mother?" I asked again. I hated repeating myself but because I had something that made me think reasonably, I did. "I don't know what you're talking about. I don't even know you." He confessed. I laughed in anger and grabbed his neck. I stood up, applying pressure to his neck. He gritted his teeth as he sneered at me. "Tell me where my mother is. This is me being reasonable. Make do of it because I'm about to do something drastic." I threatened. "I swear... I don't...know what you're talking...about..." He struggled to speak and I let him go. I wasn't about to get blood on my hands just yet. He grasped some air while I watched him struggle. I sat down back and grabbed his file. "It says you got married five years ago and you have three lovely kids, two boys and a girl and your wife is also pregnant with twins." I could see the horror on his face as I read out his family's history. That would get him talking. "Please, leave my family out of this. Believe me, I h
A Little Like Fate 14~ Another ex... And he's my boss
DELIA As unreal as it all seemed to me, I was counting fourteen working days into my job. Months ago, I was thinking my life would never get better. I thought I would never leave the trenches but there I was, enjoying my life to the fullest. My job got easier by the day as I completed all carryover jobs. But the only problem I had was meeting my boss. He hadn't shown up since I started and it felt as though I was working for a ghost. Secretary Ellie kept giving me silly excuses whenever I asked about his arrival. It was Monday, a new week to another phase of my job. My alarm had gone off and I took my time to take care of my body. I put on my clothes, grabbed my bag, and headed out of the room. After having a small breakfast, I walked out of the house, and as usual, the driver was waiting. No one in the entire company knew his name. It seemed kinda unbelievable that no one knew the boss' driver's name. Like, what do they then address him with? "Good morning." I greeted him as I b
A Little Like Fate 15~ My real job
LEVIShe stared at me blankly, waiting for me to explain what I meant but as usual, I wanted her to take a guess. When she didn't say anything, I threw my head backward still staring amusingly at her. Seeing her blank and clueless was everything. "Don't worry, I'll think of a befitting punishment." I paused. I picked up a contract paper and waved it so she could see it properly. It was the first contract I had sent to her. "I was impressed with the way you summarized and noted all errors within one hour. I must admit, you're good." I pushed the paper aside as her eyes followed my hands. "Hiring you wasn't so bad after all. But now, you have to begin your real job." She turned snappily at me, wondering what I meant."My real job?" She asked in bewilderment. "Of course, this isn't why I painstakingly employed you. It's more or less a diversion." I said matter-of-factly. We heard a knock on the door and I muttered a permitting reply. The door was opened and my hot secretary walked i
A Little Like Fate 16~ Be his contracted wife
DELIA I walked up the grand stairs, touching the shiny spiraled rails as I ascended. Getting to the landing, I found myself in front of a long hallway. I also noticed an open door and I took it as an indication that it was the route the rude girl had taken. I followed my instincts and approached the door. I knocked before getting to view the room. The first thing my eyes came in contact with was two people kissing and it was none other than Levi and his woman. Wow, even after knocking, they still did that in front of me. I cleared my throat, indicating for them to stop and they did. I heard giggles before the red-haired rudie turned toward me, heading for the door. She bumped into me with a warning, "Don't try anything silly." With that, she took off. I didn't even bother about her. My attention was on Levi. He picked up a cigarette, lit it, and released some smoke after a few seconds. "Are you just going to stand there or will you sit down and find out what your real job is?" He
A Little Like Fate 17~ Annoying Clarence
DELIA I blinked my eyes rapidly as I stared at her. She was the girlfriend he told me about. Wow, she was even prettier than I imagined. He sure has good eyes. "Nice to meet you, I'm Delia." I brought out my hand for a shake and she gladly took it. At least, she wasn't as cold as her boyfriend."Nice to meet you too, Delia." She gleamed. We talked for a while about what we loved doing and our jobs and decided to call it a night. We agreed to meet up during the weekend at my place since her boyfriend wouldn't be comfortable having someone else around. Hell yeah, I wouldn't be comfortable around my crush and his girlfriend in their apartment. That would be the weirdest thing to ever happen to me. I had almost forgotten about the Levi incident but when I neared my apartment, the memories came flashing back one after another. I almost cried when I remembered the choking part but I put my shît together and not embarrass myself in front of the driver. After alighting the car, I thanked
A Little Like Fate 18~ Visiting his family
LEVI I looked through the rear mirror and saw Javan's car parked behind mine. About time. I wonder why women take so much time in dressing up. Gosh! Delia walked out of the car and looked toward my car. Javan must have directed her to me. She walked closer in utter confusion and she kept looking back at Javan. 'Oh, now she wanna be security conscious? After taking a ride from a total stranger?' I scoffed mentally and unlocked the door. She pulled the lever and it opened. She entered inside and got comfortable. "Good evening, sir." She greeted but I gave no reply, not even a nod. She didn't look at me and neither did I. I started the car, aiming for my destination. I knew she had lots of questions running through her mind but I wasn't in the mood to entertain any. I kept an uptight expression as we drove together. A few minutes into the drive, I got a call. I checked the caller and it was my meal for tonight. "Hey." She called out happily. "I told you not to call me," I growled.
A Little Like Fate 19~ First night with Sir Levi
LEVIDelia smirked at the last part in which she pronounced 'whore' and her expression was screaming, 'Hit me if you dare.' Mia looked at me and when she didn't get any reaction, she stormed toward the house. "If you can give me more drama like that, trust me when I say I'll add more thousands to your pay. You handled her pretty well, you've been practicing?" I asked. I threw the cigarette away because the last time I smoked in front of her, she nearly choked. Since when did she stop smoking? "Practicing? Why would I practice how to fight or argue with a lady over a man? That's absurd." She laughed nervously. "Seems like it." She went to the passenger side, opened the door, and got in. I did the same. "I read a lot of possessive novels when I was younger. Plus the movies I've seen and I think I've witnessed one crazy scene before."I ignited the car engine and we were on our way back. Instead of taking her back to her apartment, I took her to my house. "Hey, where are you going?
A Little Like Fate 20~ Sweet talk with secretary Ellie
DELIA "Maybe." I sighed. I went back to my work, hoping Levi wouldn't say any more words. I might actually break down if he did. And luckily, he didn't say anything. "Man, imma shove a shovel down this modafucker's arse," I muttered to myself. "What?" Levi asked. Woah, he heard me? It was just then I realized his eyes had been fixed on me. His fingers drummed rhythmically on the table as his cold gaze hovered around me. "Whoever drafted this contract is insane. They only wrote fifty percent profit. The problem with this statement is that it can be anything ranging from total profit to gross profit, and down to net profit." "It wasn't indicated." "Yeah, it wasn't. And if a contract is to be signed with this, it will incur losses as the company in question might choose to pay net profit rather than total profit." I explained. It was the only way I could express myself freely around him. Not that it was good being alone with him. He sighed and threw his head back. Was he thinking?
