As soon as Ariana was about to enter the Secretary room, she heard the voices of three of her co-workers. “Did you see Ariana in the canteen at lunch?” “No, I didn’t and she hasn't come back to the office as yet.” “How dare her, lunch will be up in the next three minutes and she hasn't come back as yet. Ariana don’t blame me for reporting you to the President, you might go faster than you came.” That voice was Janice Lee and then there was loud laughter from Laurie Michaels and Phoebe Watson. “Janice, you don’t have to be so hard on her. It is her first day and you already made her your enemy.” Michelle Sinclair said with a pleading voice. “Shut up!” “Are you taking the new girl side?” “How much is she paying you to defend her?” They all attacked her at once. Michelle was the last one that came to the department before Ariana, she suffered a lot under their hands but at least they never made her clean the office. They usually send her
Ariana took her belongings and left the company for the day. Everyone in her department had gone home, she was the last one from her department. She saw Emily’s car parked at the front as she came out. She smiled and walked over. She got in the car passenger seat and blew a breath of relief. “Why did it seem like you had a long day at work?” Emily looked at her worriedly. “You can say that but I am alright.” She smiled at Emily because she knew Emily would overreact for anything when it came to her, so she did not want to tell her about it. Emily looked at her seriously, “Are you sure? I know you will keep everything inside, you don’t take me for your bestfriend and you know I would do anything for you.” “I know you would.” Ariana smiled at her. “Now let’s go.” Emily did not believe her but she had to give up and start the car. Not far away someone was in their car watching them but he did not know who she was in the car with. As soon as Ariana's car dro
Angela finally spoke, “Ariana why did you tell your boss that your sister had taken you boyfriend from you? He made his own choice that he prefers my daughter.” She was quiet ever since Michael shown up. Finally she found her strength. “I do not care anymore about Adam Richards, you can keep him for all I care.” Even though Ariana said that, she still felt heartache, after all they have been together for so many years. Michael felt her body went stiff and he was not happy about so he held her waist tighter. She had been trying to waggle out his hand secretly but his strength was more than hers. Gina found a reason to ridicule Ariana in front of Mr. Matthews, so she said to her in a soft and calm tone, “Sister, Adam is coming back in a few weeks from his studies in France, I hope you can come over for dinner so we can catch up on old times but please remember not to pester him and talk about your relationship with him because he hates those moments with you involved
Michael got up and kissed her on the lips, “Okay, I will give you two more days and no more.” Ariana looked at him nervously, “What do you mean?” Michael kissed her again and used his right thumb to caress her bottom lip, “It means, if you don’t make a decision in two days, then I will automatically make one for you and I think we both know what that would be.” After he said that, he bit her lip gently and strode through the door. Ariana was left in a haze. In the Fearon’s Home “Dad, are we really going to let her go?” Gina was furious and had barely cooled off from her earlier tantrums. Ashton sat on the sofa with his elbows rest on his knees and his chin in his palms. He looked dejected. Mr. Johnson promised to have the company go bankrupt if he doesn’t give him one of his daughters. Angela was also worried but mostly angry, “Ashton, what are we going to do because I can’t let my daughter married in the hands of an old pervert?” He originally wanted Gi
“What can I do for you sir?” Ariana preferred to keep things professional. Without turning around Michael said, “Why are behaving so distant?” Michael was not happy about her attitude towards him. “I don’t understand with you mean.” Ariana decided to play dumb. Michael responded rhetorically, “Have you ever?” “…” Does he have to be so tyrannical? When Michael did not hear any response, he turned around and made few big strides to get to her. Ariana stepped back unconsciously so he stretched out his long arm to hold her by the waist and pull her to him. As her body collided with his, then he went in for a kiss. Ariana felt her body went weak and for a moment she forgot to resist. Michael’s kiss was so powerful that it did things to her. Ariana felt ashamed to know that her body did not refuse his kiss but instead enjoyed it. Michael did not released her until they were both out of breath. Ariana beat his chest angrily once she was calmed, “Are you out of your mind? This is
Michael got to the Dragon Hotel in Ten minutes. He walked in and the manager approached him with a smile. Before the manager could greet him, he asked impatiently, “I am trying to find someone.” “I can definitely assist you, what is the name of that individual let me check.” Alex gave him the name and the manager hurried off to check the system. He came back shortly with his face pale. He did not know how to tell Mr. Matthew because he looked very scary at this moment. “Hurry and tell me. What are you waiting on?” Michael was getting gloomier by the second. At first he was angry that she left with another man but it seems to be more serious than just that. When he was in the car thinking of ways to get revenge on her, he received a call from her. He held the phone to his ear waiting on her to speak but all he heard was Gina voice then the call was released. He had a bad feeling about this. “Mr. Matthew, there are no bedroom or private room booked in her name.” the manager fina
Ariana bit the corner of her lower lip and looked at him with her pure and shining eyes. She wanted to say yes because she liked him too and she wanted to say no to secure her heart from hurt to come. It was inevitable for they were worlds apart. Her heart spoke against her reasoning, “Yes, I will be with you!” she was so shy that Michael barely heard her response. He looked at her with gleaming eyes, “Say it again.” He wanted to make sure he is hearing right. “I am not repeating myself.” Her face started heating up and she felt embarrassed. Michael jumped off the hospital bed and picked her up. “You don’t have to repeat, the first time was good enough for me.” Ariana couldn’t believe her eyes, the man was laughing like a little child because of her answer. … They left the hospital after completing the release procedures and paying the bill. Michael took Ariana to a 24 hour Diner to get some food. Soon they were both eating. He almost choked on his food when he heard
Ariana slept comfortably in Michael’s soft and comfortable King Size bed. She did not felt like waking up until her phone went off. She was annoyed by whoever calling her this early in the morning. Without looking at the phone, she answered, “Hello?” “Ariana, what did you do to Mr. Johnson?” Ashton voice came angrily through the phone speaker. He did not know what exactly transpired but he knew his daughter has something to do with it. “Good morning to you too.” Ariana responded sarcastically. “What is so good about the morning? It is already noon.” Ashton felt like his daughter was mocking him. Ariana was astonished, ‘Did she really slept until noon? It was good that Michael gave her a sick day.’ “Dad, what are you talking about?” despite everything, Ariana loved her dad dearly and hope one day he can love her back. “You really want to play dumb with me? Did you have Michael Matthews mess with the Johnson’s Group? I did not know I raised such a heartless daughter. You a
