Jia Davis"Where is your Richie?" Stacy asked me with hands on her hips."HER'S?""RICHIE?"Mike and Snappy asked simultaneously. I rolled my eyes. These two seriously. They both were looking at me with prying eyes.Rest of my gang that is Jovita she is Mike's wife and Aarti too looked at me with questions."Not mine, don't get you brains worked up." I said, glaring at Stacy. She shrugged and joined Jake. We were waiting for him since last 30 minutes. I had sent him all the details with location of this resort where we had registered for snorkeling. He had assured me that he will be here on time. Did he ditch me?Did he stood me up?Just then the heat in the room increased as he walked in the resort as if he owned the place, looking hot! hot! hot! in plain Black T-shirt, denim and Black jacket. He was coming towards us in the waiting area. I beamed at looked at Stacy, lifting my chin up to show her I win.He came to us and apologized for coming late."Hey everyone, sorry for being

Sunday mornings are a blessing for us corporate workers. Only these mornings and in afternoons actually, and gets even better when someone hands you a hot coffee with newspaper and French toast, ahh! Bliss! It turns bestest when, what you see in newspaper make you scream with happiness."YAAAAAAY" I screamed."What! What happened?" Stacy came running out from the kitchen (that's Stacy, my roommate, my best friend and one who made coffee and French toast for me)"There is a requirement of PA at Anderson group" I half yelled in excitement jumping up and down."Does this Anderson group have something to do with certain Mr Richard Anderson?""Yes, of course, he is CEO of Anderson group.""Thought so" she said with a eye roll."You know what this means?" I asked with excitement."Ya, you will apply for that job." She said boringly."Noooo. I will be seeing him every day." I exclaimed."Congratulations, you got the job" she said sarcastically, clapping her hands."That, I will get for sure.
Jia Davis"But you won't be working with me" he said.'WHAT?' I almost screamed inside."I think there is a confusion, you will be PA to my elder brother, Mr. Viktor Anderson."Shattered! All my dreams were shattered. The scene from Titanic played in my head, one where all the plates come shattering to the ground, most women forgot about Rose and Jake at that moment. I was feeling the same.Who is this Viktor Anderson, I have never heard of him nor was he ever mentioned anywhere in corporate world.Who the hell is this Viktor Anderson?I had imagined myself being with Richard all the time, going on lunch with him, playing video games sitting on that couch, eventually dating him...but Ugh! This Viktor came in between.Oh Lord, oh Lord of Rings, why can't you see me happy."Miss Davis?Are you OK? You don't seem to be present here." He said, frowning his brows"I am sorry, I just missed out on that bit of detail." I replied looking down. Ohh this is so embarassing."That's fine, you wil
Richard AndersonAfter taking her to Viktor's office, I stood there outside. She might come out screaming or if she is not that dramatic than she will come out all scared.But she didn't come out. I heard them talking, maybe she is different. I sighed.When she came in my office, I knew she had liking for me, but she was not like others, throwing herself on me or showing her assets. She was beautiful and innocent. Her brown eyes were captivating, and her face had this unique dainty to it. For a change, there will be someone sensible to work with. I think, I am not needed here, and I really hope she will be strong enough to cope up with Bro. I made my way to my office.____________Jia DavisI was crying loudly sitting on my living room couch, Stacy was sitting at a dinning table chair, going through some paper. I wailed louder to get her attention on me, she was ignoring my wails since last 10 minutes.Finally, she looked up,"Ok, what is it? You didn't get the job?""I got the job an
Jia Davis"Good morning Mr. Carter, here is your coffee and here are your croissants." I said going in my boss's office."Ah! I was just waiting for you. You are a blessing" he beamed.My boss, Mr. Jeff Carter, pampered me like his child. He was in his early sixties, but had the enthusiasm of six year old. I really felt sad for leaving him and this office which was like second home to me for last three years.I then placed a white envelope beside his coffee.He looked puzzle at me, "what is this, a love letter?" He asked mischievously. That made me smile"You wish" I said, acting snobbish."Umm...it's a... ""Resignation letter??" He had opened the letter before I could inform him."You are leaving me" he was hurt, but I had to move on."Ya… actually… I got a new job, and you will be retired...and..." I almost felt like crying. There was a lump in my throat which restrained my vocal cords."Hey, I know you would be going one day, and I am ok with it" he assured me and came towards me.
Jia Davis"WHAT THE CRAP!"He yelled after taking a sip from the coffee and putting the cup back with a thud on the table.He started coughing badly, and his breathing got heavy, making me shiver with terror. Oh, god! I didn't put any poison for sure. He looked like he was dying. "Are you ok, sir?" I askedHe gave me a death glare, he open the drawer of his table and took out an inhaler and dragged from it. Slopping on his chair, he rested his head on the backrest and closed his eyes. Soon his chest was heaving normally. He will survive, I suppose. Better I hide myself somewhere. I was about to turn and leave when,"STOP"The command made my body go stiff, and I stopped on my track."What was that, WHAT did you put in that coffee?" He asked, almost in a whisper."No... nothing, just one tablespoon coffee and wate..""ONE SPOON!"" It's Civet coffee, It just requires a small teaspoon. Do you know how expensive it is, ordered specially from Indonesia." What absurdly expensive fixation
Jia Davis"Anything for you"Did he actually say that, OMG!"Ya, anything to keep your job or else it will come upon me, as I selected you." He said getting serious.Oh! Can a person die of guilt, I hope I do. Like right now."Sorry to let you down, Mr. Anderson." I said with my head held low."No, I didn't say that to make you feel guilty, but it's very difficult to impress bro. An essential thing, he has a breathing disorder and requires a pump to breathe if he gets overexcited, so please keep note of that. I hope I can trust you." He said with full concern. These brothers are tight.He went to his desk and called someone. "Sofia, can you please come in."?Soon a girl in her early twenties came in. she was beautiful with her long blond straight hair and hazel eyes. She was wearing a knee-length figure hugging beige skirt with a brown shirt. "Yes Richard" she said, giving him a smile. It was a friend smile, nothing sensual, but it still bothered me. Are these two close as they are
