Juliet walked into the office that morning with the widest smile she had ever worn and of course, the umbrella in her hand. Her long hair was tied in a big, neat and beautiful bun. She wore a simple, red blouse and trouser, with low heeled shoes. She looked absolutely stunning. As she got in to the elevator, she took a very deep breath."New day, new position." She said to herself, a hearty smile still on her face. "You can do this, Juliet. I trust you." For a moment the thought of Liam came to her mind, almost kicking the smile off her face but she maintained it."No,no, no. You aren't going to let that two timed backstabber change your mood now, are you?" She shook her head in disagreement, taking yet, another deep breath. Just then, the elevator door opened. She stepped out of it, her eyes on her work desk not far from her. A sudden wave of hope and fulfilment washed over her, making her cheeks blush in happiness. She walked gently to her desk in a sassy manner and placed both her

For a moment it seemed like time froze, as his eyes met hers. He was trying to catch his breath with both his hands on his thighs, but her beauty seemingly wrestled to take his breath away. She looked at him almost blankly, her eyes wide with surprise as she stared at the apparently fatigued man who was in front of her. After that came a cheeky, warm smile."You... What are you doing here? Umm.." She looked extremely adorable as she placed her palm on her forehead in a bid to remember his name. His heart did a little thumping dance as he stared at her, his face lit with smiles. "I'm really sorry. I think I have forgotten your name." She said, almost embarrassed as she looked at the floor. Erick did not really care that she had forgotten his name. He was just glad to see her in a better mood than the one she was in the day before. Juliet didn't know exactly how to feel as Erick stared at her with so much focus. She didn't know if he was just disappointed that she forgot his name, or i

Erick looked at her and nodded, still a bit confused about all that was going on. His eyes moved back to Liam's car which was still on the road. But, no later than that, the car reversed and zoomed right past them. Their eyes followed the car till it was out of sight. Juliet turned, adjusting in her seat as she closed her eyes and sighed deeply, feeling relief flush through her entire body."Will you tell me what's going on now? Who was that guy and what does he want?" Erick asked immediately, his focus now on Juliet. "Look, Erick. He's just....." She stopped and sighed again, her head down in frustration."You're not saying anything, Juls. I'm not understanding anything at all." She immediately turned and faced him, a bloodshot look in her eyes. He had just called her Juls and he had never heard any one call her that before. Only Liam called her that. "Is everything okay?" He asked immediately,seeing the look in her eyes."What did you just call me?" She said slowly and almost inau

"Thank you so much, Erick. You don't know relieved I feel now." Juliet said as she walked Erick out of her house. It was already late but the city lights and the blaring sound of loud cars from miles away made it seem like it was still day time. "I mean we just met like some days ago and you really brought me home after what happened with that dude. Just to make sure that I was okay. You don't know how grateful I am.""Oh! It's fine. I just wanted to make sure you're okay." Erick said as he turned to look at her, his entire body now resting against the door of his car. "So are you going to tell me who that dude is?""I will." Juliet sighed. "But not just right now. I don't feel like I want to.""It's alright. I'll just be on my way now. Take care of yourself, okay?" He said as he moved and got the car door open. Juliet looked on as he got in to the car, her hands together in a kind of nervous manner."I will. It was nice having you around. Hopefully, we can do this some other time?""

Juliet could hear him talking to himself in his office. She longed so much to take a glance at his face and comfort him with her eyes. But that was seemingly not going to work, after all, he was her boss and she was nothing but his secretary. Everything seemed to be happening so fast, before her very eyes. Just few days ago, she was appointed secretary and that same day, her ex from college showed up. As if all that was not enough, she had also met Erick who seemed to be a very great guy. She sighed softly, her hand up against her chin as these thoughts ran freely in her mind.She finally managed to look back, moving her head as slowly as she could so she wouldn't get noticed. Robert sat there, his eyes focused in the direction of the window with the most miserable look plastered on his face. She sighed again, this time in a more aggressive and dejected manner."What am I going to do?" She said slowly under her breath as her fingers drew invisible circles on her desk. She knew that s
