David sat in his office, he didn't even have one last strength to handle what was going on in his head. His thoughts were having a war and it was trying to burst into a headache. Stefanie didn't speak to him anymore, she didn't say one word to him and it was breaking his heart. He tried, he did, but she was very adamant not to speak to him. He got her some snacks and placed them on the table before her. She only glanced at them and kept working. The last time he checked on her, they were the exact way he had left them. So that's why he was alone in his office, he couldn't even work because he was thinking about her. Suddenly the door opened and Rosie's secretary walked in. She was so disrespectful that she pushed the door open with her foot. " Ava, do you even know how to knock?" He frowned at her. " The boss wants to see you, immediately." She said in an icy voice. " Immediately." " I'm on my way," David told her. She didn't leave, she was staring at him, not even blinking

Rosie pulled up in front of his apartment. It was a very eventful day for both of them, but they had come to the end of it. She stopped the car and wiped her palm down her face. "Rosie, can I say something?" He asked. "You won't be mad though?"" I can't promise you that, but it's not like I can do anything to you." She shrugged. " I know that my major was in robotic and mechanical engineering, but I will try my best if you need someone to talk to." He assured her. She rubbed her hands over the wheel and laughed. " Why do you think I need someone to talk to?" She turned to him. Trying to control his laughter. He was looking at her blankly like she was crazy for laughing. " Rosie, after everything you have gone through, I'm sure that you are not making a big deal out of it." " You don't know half of what I have been through." She told him. " You can't even relate to it." David looked down at his hands. " My mother–"" I don't care about what you and your mother went through,

David shut his eyes as soon as he heard the gun go off, he really thought that he was going to die. But after the shit went off, he was still alive and breathing. He didn't feel any pain at all. He opened his eyes and saw that Rosie was still pointing the gun at him. When he turned around, there was a hole in the wall, where the bullet had gone through. He felt a wetness on his cheek. He touched it and saw blood, the bullet grazed his face. That was when it dawned on him that she didn't aim to kill him. If she had wanted him to die, she would have let a bullet in his head. Or rather, his father didn't want him to die or he would have killed him. David was terribly shaken by this near-death experience. "The next time you talk back at me, I won't hesitate to kill you." His father warned. "Do you understand that, David?""Yes." David shuttered. "Do you understand?""Yes, sir."The call ended immediately and Rosie dropped the gun and sighed in relief. Gary held his hand over his

Stefanie wanted to stab herself to death, if that would make this coworker of hers go away. He has been babbling in her ears for long minutes now and wasn't stopping even though she wasn't giving him attention. She kept rolling her eyes repeatedly and sighing, but he was pretending not to see the signs. It was terrible because he wasn't the first one today and the day wasn't even over yet. "Your boyfriend isn't in town, I don't know what the problem is going to be." He shined his brightest teeth. "Lance, please."She held her head. "I've told you, many times, that David and I aren't dating." "Then why aren't you listening to me?" He asked. "Listen, my father has a wine company in Italy. My father is very rich and I can take care of all your needs."She turned and gave him an icy stare. "If you are so rich, why are you working in someone's company?" She laughed. "Because my mother thinks I need to work under someone to be able to manage my own company later." He answered. "That

David was terrified for his mother's life, he didn't want her to get into this mix-up with his father. His mother started to laugh when she heard that Rosie was sent to kill her. David looked at his mother's hands and noticed how skillfully she was holding those guns. Maybe he wasn't supposed to be in front, trying to protect her. Maybe he should be behind her and let her handle this. She didn't look like it was her first time holding the gun, it looked like she had a lot of experience handling guns. "Move, David." His mother said to him, "Trust me, I don't want more bullet marks on your body." "Yeah, listen to your mother, David." Rosie chipped in. "I don't want to hurt you. Again.""Don't ever speak to my son, again," David's mother warned Rosie." Never, or else I will shoot you dead and dump your body where it will never be found.""Please, I'm begging you, let's handle this amicably," Rosie begged. "David will come with us and no one would have to get hurt." "You don't call
