Quinn was pushed. She never thought Harrison could say something like that to her. Did he hit his head somewhere? Or did he just forget about everything they shared in Los Angeles?When they accidentally met themselves together in bed, it was totally an accident. She knew. He knew, too. She wondered why he acted like it was her fault, or she had planned it."Harrison Fitzgerald, you are not the person I used to know back in Los Angeles. You, you have changed to someone worse than the devil! Even the devil will see you and be afraid. How could you call me a cheat and a slut?" She broke out, her eyes widening as it reddened due to how long she had been crying."You knew that when we first met, it was totally an accident. Heck, you were even drunk! Why are you accusing me? I paid you money to shut up? Wow, really now? I didn't want to get involved with you, and I didn't pay you just because I cheated on anyone, I was more than single!" She said, breathing heavily."Harrison, I never wan
The two of them went out of the house and sat outside. Ivan went in to get two glasses of juice for the both of them."First, tell me about Harrison. Who is he? You know, we didn't really get to spend time together and talk about our personal lives," Ivan began, placing the glasses on the floor.He sat beside her, giving her an attentive look.She sighed, "So, Harrison and I met at business school, in Los Angeles. As at that time, you weren't in the country. He was the same guy I told you I met in my hotel room, which caused the whole issue. We had a project to do, and we got paired. That's why we got close, and on our graduation, I told him I liked him.""Did he feel the same way for you?" Ivan chipped in, but she shook her head."I can't really tell if he felt the same way. After I confessed my feelings to him, I got a call from you and left the room. When I got back, he was no longer there. I don't know why he suddenly left after I confessed to him, but I felt really bad. I tried t
It was Monday, Quinn yawned in bed, as the smell from the kitchen woke her up.With her eyes half closed, she got out of bed to the kitchen and found Ivan making breakfast."Morning, princess." He greeted her, as soon as he sighted her.She stood by the door, taking a deep gulp as the aroma engulfed her nose."What's for breakfast?" She asked, slowly."Go and have your bath, first. You'll know what's for breakfast after that. You don't wanna be late for work on the first day of the week, do you?" Her brother said, winking at her.She waved her hand, trudging back to the room, and heading to the bathroom."Breakfast is ready, princess!" He yelled."I'm coming, give me some minutes!" She responded, rushing to put on her shoes. Since it was Monday, definitely an official and busy day for every business, she put on a crisp white button-down shirt and a well-fitted navy blue knee-length pencil skirt.Knowing that she would be having a long day, she did not want to add to the pain her legs
As the elevator closed, she stood beside him in silence, holding the bag in her right hand."I never knew that the most feared and respected CEO of The Gerald's Conglomerate would stoop so low to use whatever means to grab the attention of his employee. That's surprising," she began, scoffing."What does that mean?" He asked, glaring at her."Mr. Fitz, we both know that you never asked me to get you lunch. Also, everyone in the company knows you don't eat at work. It makes me wonder why you had to leave the top floor to the ground floor. And now, you even banished me from eating in the cafeteria. Is that how obsessed you are with me?" She intoned, her lips curving into a wry smile, as she walked out of the elevator.She walked into his office and placed the bag on the table. When she turned, he was behind her."Here is your lunch, sir."He grabbed her wrist, drawing her close to his body. "Quinn, tell me. What is giving you this audacity? Are you trying to play some kind of game with
She was surprised that he let her go. The Harrison she knew now would seize every opportunity to frustrate her."What? Do you need anything else?" He asked, creasing his brows, as he stopped typing."N... no, sir. Sorry, thank you." She stuttered and bowed out. She walked out of the office to hers, and sat down, wondering if he had ulterior plans for her."Hey, I brought you lunch."She looked up, her eyes met that of Kimberly. Her face brightened up, as she heard her voice."Hey!" She said, hugging her. "How've you been? You've sort of been occupied lately, and I don't really get to see you anymore. Mr. Fitz even stopped you from coming to the cafeteria, where we usually meet," Kimberly expressed, wearing a sad face.Quinn gave her a reassuring smile, rubbing her shoulder to comfort her. "I'm always here, okay? I'm sure he will lift his restrictions on me, and we'll see again. And yes, I am really busy. I'm taking a two-day leave from work, I have something important to attend to,"
Quinn jumped out of the bed, as though she was poured a bucket of water."Did you have to shout?" She said, feeling annoyed that she had woken up from sleep."Quinn Rodriguez, you are an hour and thirty minutes late for work. Do you know what your boss will do to you?" Vera expressed, worrying for her."Take a chill pill, mother. I took two days off from work; one day to rest, and the other day for the silly banquet," she explained. "Now, please can you not shout anymore? I still need to sleep some more," she added with sleepy eyes.She collapsed back on the bed and dozed off immediately. Vera sighed and walked out. She must have really been tired, she thought.She saw Ivan going towards her room and stopped him in time before he could turn the door knob."Hey, hey. She is still asleep. She will bury you alive if you disturb her," she warned, walking away to the kitchen.At exactly 11 am, Quinn finally woke up. With puffy eyes, she wore her slippers and made her way to the kitchen.
Quinn knew his schedule. He did not have any invitation, so she didn't think he would show up there. More reason she was carefree."I know you are mad at me. I should have supported both of you, but I let the family business go into the wrong hands. I'm sorry, Quinn, but it's never too late to make a change, is it? He is only there as the acting CEO, there is still a chance for you and your brother. I'll support the right people this time, and that is you and your brother," he stated, causing her to smile."Thank you, grandfather."As of then, the music had ended. He kissed her on the forehead and hugged her, before leaving to meet business people he once worked with.She walked over to Ivan with a broad smile on her face. She wrapped her hands around his neck and hugged him tightly."What's the good news?" Ivan asked, smiling even before she told him what it was about."Grandfather has agreed to support us. He is just an acting CEO, and he acts like he really owns the company. Like a
The lady was not sure who to follow; Quinn or Harrison. She decided to meet Quinn, because she was the one with emotional pain, and needed support.She followed the direction which Quinn had run towards, and found her in the dark, sitting alone. She slowly walked up to her and crouched down."Hi, are you okay?" She asked, and Quinn lifted her head, her face coming into light.She slowly shook her head, trying to make out the face of the person in front of her."What is wrong? You can talk to me," Jasmine pressed on."Who are you?"Jasmine did not say a word. She patted her on the back, which made her cry the more."Why did he have to hurt me? Was it bad that I fell in love with him? I'm starting to regret ever meeting him because my whole life became a mess after meeting him. I was ready to start a new life with him, but all he did was leave me and believe whatever anyone told him about me." She sobbed aloud, covering her face."I totally understand how you feel. How about not telling
