TORQUOISE HOME.
~Albert~
"So, how did it go? Tell me about all, without leaving out any details."He was wearing this peaceful stare as he looked away from me to the end of the cafe. There was something fishy about him but I couldn't be sure yet. I'm sure, I would get to it soonest.
"Yea. As you told, we met at a poolside. I must give it to you. Your guesses were very accurate."
"Get to point."
He smiled,
"Well, she's the hard one. She wouldn't even give me an eye. You could imagine what she considered me as... a high school vulnerable psycho who had lost his parents. Like someone who needed help. You could imagine that b--"
"Watch it."
He held back the remaining part of the last word and pushed his head up and down slowly. He continued,
"So, that's the last time we met. I couldn't wait there any longer to have her insult me or consider me from such frame of reference.
At work.~Dia Wealene~"Few more moments to go."I looked at my wrist watch, twas 4:30PM. Twas just 30 minutes to my closing hour. I haven't really been this busy since a long time. There was this adrenaline current surging through my spine. Giving me no reason to stop flipping through the pages and giving inputs in the PC on the table.After I was done with the supposed files, I picked up the proposals of the African men who had visited me the previous day. I wasn't sure whether or not to partner with them. They seemed brilliant enough to be satisfactory but I haven't had them tested out yet."Cocoa and Internet banking."I muttered, flipping through the pages of the locked up files."I think more of what they need is an investor not a partner."I wasn't sure of what else to think. I was trying so hard to link up the functions of Cleavinks to a cocoa producing company and inte
At Work.~Dia Wealene~"Don't get your hopes up. I just want to have a talk. I've sent you an address, come to my office as soon as possible today. Even if possible, in the next five minutes.""But at the moment, I'm really not av---""It's your choice whether or not you want to set those childish eyes of yours on me again."I hung the call even before he could make a further stray."Now that was rude, Dia."My eyes running about the table."Couldn't you had been more civil? Must you always be rude to everyone?"I took a break and peered at an opened file before me,"What would you make with the teachings of Caidine all this time? You wouldn't even reflect them.""Whatever."I dismissed, leaning back into the office chair."Let's see whether or not he would come. Well, if he doesn't. We might do it another way."Then there came suddenly a knock on my door.
"Good at automatic or manual?"I called at him from the backseat of the Maybach. He looked at me through the rearview. We were already in the car."If there is another type, I would drive it without reading the manuals."I scoffed,"Go on. And yes! Do not look at me through the rearview. When you want to talk to me, turn."He turned and pushed his head down."Where to, ma'am?"My eyes widened,"Where did you learn that from?""Uhmm... A friend... Nope. Just some random things I've heard driver say."I didn't believe him yet I found no reason to read supplementary meaning to it. Why was I even thinking of Albert. I could just tell him to look at through the rearview again. I couldn't."Follow the GPS. It'll take you home."He didn't say a thing and kept on the pace. In less than fifteen minutes, we've gotten to my apartment. He drove into the compound and pulled over in the garage wh
Meeting.~Dia Wealene~"The newest change was influenced by one of the advices given by the representative of our prestigious institution, Dia Wealene. And at the moment, we could boast of few entrepreneurs who had just joined our organization. Though as remote as it sounds, they are the preys necessary for the future. But now are without the potential threats they'd shown up with in the first place."As soon as he paused, some of the CEO'S started clapping. I caught one of them in a scrutinized gaze. I'm sure we all knew what they were doing - clapping him to be quiet or get to the point as soon as possible."I present to you, Alvres Martins and Selen Eloisa. They would both introduce what functions their companies dispense.""Dispense."I heard Greg mutter. He was seated opposite me, over the table. I didn't like that position but I didn't really care. He had been shooting me this rather wierd stare al
Later that day. 8PM. Along the alley.~Theo~"Woah. I guess I'm beginning to see things too much lately."I dragged in a long loop of warm air, though twas freezing outside. My both hands were tucked in the front pocket of the hoodie. The pocket closer to its hem. I remembered Dia warning me to dress corporate henceforth. But I don't really have suits. I didn't tell her that. But I guess if I wear a rumpled and unkempt one, she probably would be forced to buy me new ones.I'd told her that I wouldn't be a live-in driver like most of her earlier drivers. I had a sister to fend for. Who was going to keep her company if I'm gone forever? One of my greatest fear is she going rogue and doing anything she lays her hands on just like me. I want every good thing for her, but repeating all of my mistakes.There were several other suiting and soothing thoughts springing at my consciousness at the moment, but the sex I had with
The next day.~Dia Wealene~"If I had his address wouldn't that had been better?"I quizzed, holding unto the handle of the door. I was all set for work, but was hesitant to leave probably Caidine would have a solution to the recent problem.Initially, I had stayed thirty minutes longer, with the expectation of Theo arriving soon but all had gone down the drain."Maybe he turned in sick. Or if I may ask, did anything happen yesterday between the both of you?""Yes..."I ranted without thought. Then remembered what we shared yesterday,"But nothing of such influence."I dismissed."What?"She probed further. I rolled my eyes and pulled the door close, knowing fully well that the door could close itself.I got into the car and drove off. I couldn't place the appropriate thought. I wasn't sure of what to think really. I couldn't remember wronging him. I
Two days later. TORQUOISE HOME.~Albert~"There he comes."I muttered, having turned towards the door."He never keeps to time."I grunted then looked away from the pretty-much-lively Theo walking through the cafe's door towards me. I had called to meet him. To be sure whether or not he had honored the words."I'm glad you're a better. You know, for a moment I was scared that I had paralyzed you."I started as he settled before me. He rolled his eyes and looked sideways. I smiled."What would you love to have?"I teased, but a part of me was sincere about that. Even though I knew that he was going to turn it down."To hell with your money."He glared and kept on, I wasn't surprised,"See, I already did what you told me to. I handed in my resignation later two days ago. So, please leave my sister out of all this. She didn't know anything.""Chill bro."
A week later. TORQUOISE HOME.~Dia Wealene~"Thanks for meeting."I started, tracing my hasty eyes down his nose, to his lips. Not what you are thinking! He's now very much a better version of himself. Or say, he was now his old self."I didn't want to seem rude."He shot a quick glance then looked away."You don't really owe me any favor after all what happened to you because of me."He stood up,"Maybe I should just leave then. Meeting you here is more like a suicide note to me."He had replied bluntly. I reached my hand across the table,"You don't want to walk out on me."Though the words seemed like a threat, but my tone and facial expression said exactly otherwise."Sorry."He muttered and sat back down. He shook his hand gently and I looked down. I understood what he meant and let go."Dia, I don't know why you've been wanting to see me for t
