Amber has lived in Chicago for the past three years after she moved from Boston to start her office work where she works as the secretary to the CEO of the biggest Department store, Shell House. Her everyday work was always hectic but who was she to complain when her boss was always working with her even late into the night so it was not as if he was punishing her on purpose but one thing she really love about her boss, Tom Holland is that no matter how hard they have to work, he makes sure she enjoys her weekend so every Friday she goes home as early as possible. This particular Friday was like every other one and she was so happy to get off work because she actually had her own plans for the day. “Miss Amber, the sales report should be ready by 2pm on Monday so make sure you try to finish it up over the weekend” Tom, her boss said to her as he came out of his office wearing a tired look on his face. The week have been extremely stressful for them because new arrivals just came in
She was thankful that her outfit for today was at least covering up a decent part of her body, because she wouldn’t be able to bear the shame of dancing that way while her boss was sitting there looking at her. Since she couldn’t afford to forfeit her pay just because someone unexpected showed up, she played professionalism, and just concluded that she would pretend as if nothing happened. She finally went to change, quickly received her pay from Mike and rushed out of the club before he could come out, and they would bump into each other. She was still panicking when someone grabbed her from behind and she yelled. She shouted “It is not what you think” in shock and turned to see her confused roommate standing there. “What am I thinking?” Emily asked, raising her eyebrows in return. She was also shocked at the reaction of her roommate. “Oh! It’s you. When did you get here?”, She asked, comporting herself as she wiped her sweaty hand on her clothes. “I arrived just now when Mike to
Tom Holland left the office on Friday evening and was driving home when he got a call from Dave Lin the famous designer who owns the biggest cloth brand in Paris. He had been trying to sign a partnership deal with him for close to two years but it never worked. The manager of Dave Lin called him and told him that he should come over to the club to sign off the agreement if he still wants it because will be flying out of Chicago very early the next morning. He quickly turned the car around and zoomed off to the place he was called to where he met Dave Lin. Dave immediately explained, “Oh Mr. Tom! I am sorry that you didn’t get a positive response from me all these while. It is due to my extremely busy schedule and also I wanted to see you in person. The owner of Shellhouse mall in Chicago is extremely popular so I didn’t want to waste the chance” as soon as he saw him and he exchanged handshakes with him Tom wanted to counter him that he could have just told him so instead of keeping
She slowly walked back to where he was standing with the keys in his hands and tried to lobby him, but he was not in for whatever she had up her sleeve. She begged with pleading eyes “I don’t know what this is all about, but can you just leave the door open? I mean we don’t have to lock the door before we can stay here, isn’t it?” and he shook his head. “It is necessary we lock the door anytime I am here or not because that is exactly why it is there” he remarked, and threw the key in his pocket. “Now, since you are here, I believe we don’t have all day, and we don’t have any time to waste. You said you would do anything I ask for if you can keep your job right?” he asked, and proceeded to take his seat. She nodded her head frantically in agreement, and he motioned for her to take a seat while pointing to the sofa in front of him. She sheepishly adhered to the instruction and watched him speak with a tensed shoulder. He rubbed his palms together a little and hesitated before he fina
Joseph has been staying in Dubai for over three years and refused to stay home after his graduation. He would always argue about how he was still small to work at the company. “I want to enjoy my twenties a little bit because once I start working I won’t have the time for that anymore” he argued whenever their father brought up the topic of him coming back home. He finally came home that afternoon, and he didn’t even let Tom know, just to surprise him. “You came this afternoon? How come I was not informed?” Tom questioned. “Because I wanted to surprise you. Look at how shocked you are right now” he replied with a chuckle, and Tom sighed. “Do you like making a fool out of people?” Tom slammed him and he raised his eyebrows. “What do you mean by making a fool out of people?” he asked. “You said you would not be coming home anytime soon, so why are you here?” Tom questioned. “Oh that? I realized that there was no fun for me anymore in Dubai because I had visited every place for th
Tom was passing by the bridal section as he was returning to his office when he saw Amber in an argument with Charles. He walked into the room to ask what was happening when he heard her demanding an apology. “I am demanding an apology from you right now” she yelled at his face. “What is going on right now? What do you think you are doing?”, he asked, looking at her. “He was touching me appropriately, he was groping me” she explained. “Why would I do that? I only dropped the cup of water by mistake, and she was cleaning it up before she suddenly started yelling at my face to apologize”, Charles said innocently, and she scoffed. “It was true that his cup shattered, but while I was cleaning it up, he suddenly groped me from behind, and it was twice, at that” she insisted. “Is there any proof that he did that? You shouldn’t make false accusations”, Tom said, and her shoulder dropped in shock. She had been working with him for close to three years, and could he still think she had m
Emily left the house very early the next morning after telling Amber that she had an early morning test. Amber dressed up and went to work also in a better mood than that of the previous day, since Eddy had made her feel better last night. She got to the office and saw the text from Tom saying he would be coming to the office late, so she attended the meeting with the heads of teams in his stead. “Whatever” she mouthed as she read the text and removed her long coat to start the day’s work. When it was time for the meeting, she picked up her coat and left for the conference room at the far end of the left side of the top floor of the building. She was shown respect as the secretary to the CEO as she entered and sighed “At least, I still have some respect left for my name”, she thought, and had her seat “The CEO will not be joining us today because he has something urgent to attend to, so we will start the meeting without him. What do we have on the ground?”, she asked, and one of
TWO MONTHS AGO “Elaine, how is the search for small artists going? Have you found anyone yet?”, Phoebe asked as she entered the office in her small black gown barely covering half of her thighs. “The search is going well, but can you just put on some skin hose at least? How would you be comfortable in that?”, Elaine remarked, shaking her head “You are an artist and you are still this judgmental? Don’t you know that one of the beauties of art is the ability to express it freely and lovingly? I am a work of art, so why are you restraining me from expressing myself freely and lovingly?”, Phoebe countered, and the room went silent for a second as they stared at each other. “You could as well go naked then, since you want to display your body art badly”, Elaine stated, and resumed clicking on the art in front of her while Phoebe looked at it together with her until it got to a particular art. “Stop! Stop!!”, Phoebe screamed, making Elaine jump in shock. “Who painted this?” she asked,
