"Kings And Queens, Brickell Street."Quinn stared at the address, and sighed. She did not want to go, but Vera had forced her to."Just a little touch here and there, and we are done," Vera said, applying the contour on her face."Do I really have to go?" She asked, letting out a soft sigh."Oh, c'mon. You need to. You just partnered with one of the biggest and richest conglomerates in the whole world! That's something any CEO would die for to just get to propose their plan."Quinn nodded, and got up to check out her outfit."Oh, Christ! I'm really jealous of you now, Quinn. Look at you!" Quinn raised her eyelids, turning her attention to the mirror.She wore a stunning red cocktail dress that hugged her figure in all the right places. To top her dress, she wore a strapped high heels that elevated her stature, making her look like a model.Her hair was styled in soft waves that cascaded over her back, holding on to a black clutch. The makeup that Vera did for her was so sophisticate
She turned, and widened her eyes. She had expected him to go back home, but he did not."Let's go," he said to her.She had no other choice than to agree. As they got to the other side, where his car was parked, she refused to get in."I don't want to enter your car. You can leave me here, I will be fine." She mouthed."Why? It's dark, and I cannot live you here alone. What if something happens to you?" He asked in a concerned tone.She looked away. "Well, I cannot afford to have another issue with your fiancee. I am not ready for a fight."He chuckled, "whoever said I had a fiancee?"She looked at him, "I don't care whoever she is to you. I just don't want to see you."He smiled, staring at her lips.A frown appeared on her face, as she asked."What? Why are you looking at me like that? Go, already!""I can't stop staring at you. You are so beautiful in this dress. I suppose red is your favorite color, because it suits you perfectly well. If all men could stop to stare at you, then,
"Hmm," she moaned, moving closer, resting her head on something she could not easily place her mind on. It felt comfortable, and she did not wish to wake up anymore. She just wanted to remain there, maybe forever. She felt protected as his arms wrapped around her tiny waist, and for a moment, she felt at peace. He, too, felt as though he had never had any good sleep in his life, until today. It was so unlike him to sleep this long, as he was usually awake in the early hours of the morning. Slowly, her eyes flickered open, and the first thing they caught was the work of art that was similar to that of a Greek god. She wondered if this was a dream or if it was really a reality. As she stared at his face, and how peaceful he slept, she could not help but feel lost. Suddenly, like a flash, all the memories from yesterday began to play in her mind. She looked at him well and realized that it was not a dream and that she was sleeping on the same bed as Harrison. Not only did they slee
"Hey, if you are not busy tonight, how about you come over?" Eva texted, biting her lips.It had been three days since Ivan arrived in Spain, and she had not seen him. He was occupied with work, as he tried to catch up with the recent happenings.His phone dinged while at lunch in the company, and she smiled. He had tried hard to finish up everything so that he could have some time with her, and luckily, she texted on the right day.He picked up his phone and texted back, "Sure. I will be there by 8 pm.""Aww, Senor is blushing! Tell me, who is that woman that is making you smile so much?" One of his colleagues asked, eager to hear from him.Ivan chuckled, "It's my woman. She is cooking for me. Too bad you are too single to relate," he said and got up, taking his leave.The guy just stood there, shocked at his reply. He didn't even know what to say.Ivan managed to clear up all that he had to do, meaning that while he would be with Eva, there would be no cause for an emergency call or
Quinn's expression immediately turned sour as soon as she saw the person standing in front of her.She had not expected him to come down to Florida just to see her, and of course, not for any good purpose."Uh, I will see you later, Quinn," Vera voiced out, taking her leave.Quinn sighed, leaning on the table and crossing her arms over her chest."What do you want?" She asked, getting straight to the point."That's such a bad way to welcome your cousin. I mean, should you not, at least, ask me to have a seat,, and the, you serve me wine or somethin?. Look at me; I am George Kendrick, your dear cousin, not your ex-boyfriend or employee," he said, looking around the office."You really think you have won, don't you? Just look at the way you furnished the office to your taste like you are going to remain here permanently.""Did you come all the way from Texas just to see how you lost to me? That's interesting, I mean, I have never seen anyone return to what he or she had lost. You really
Her eyes bore a tinge of surprise as he made that confession. She never thought that her high school big-time crush was actually in love with her as well.She could not tell how she was feeling. If she were to choose between Greg and Harrison now, she would immediately choose Greg, especially after what Harrison did to her."What? Are you surprised?" He asked, chuckling.Before she could reply, her phone rang. She looked away, taking her bag to remove her phone.It was Harrison.She frowned, wondering why he was calling her now. However, she answered the call."Sorry, excuse me," she whispered to Greg and got up.She took a few steps away and placed the phone on her ear."You are only allowed to call me during work hours. What do you want?"He sighed, "Can you not be like this, please?"There was no response, so he continued."I just called to check up on you, and maybe if you could hang out.""Please, let's maintain the business formalities. We cannot hang out, because I have work to
There was a huge grin on her face as she thought of the person that sent her flowers. The day was only starting out, and she felt overworked, that she thought she would have a bad day.The bouquet meant so much to her, as she read the note over again. It was how the person knew that her favorite flower was a daisy was what made her feel elated.She thought that person was so caring, and she wanted to really appreciate him for his caring and kind gestures, but below the note was written in italics, "Anonymous"."Why are you so lost in it? Do you like it?" Vera finally voiced out, after a century of remaining silent.She turned to her, "like? Heck, I love it! You don't know how much this means to me, and I just wished that I could jump on to the person, and hug him tightly for making my day beautiful. It takes a person who knows me very well to remember my favorite flower."Vera smiled in satisfaction, "that's great. The person must really love you to get you a bouquet of daisies. I mea
Harrison froze to the spot. He had asked Vera what time Quinn would arrive at the office, and it was definitely not at the time that she had arrived.He stopped for a moment and then turned around to face her. He looked down, before facing her."You are here," he muttered.She did not say anything; rather, she crossed her arms over her chest and took steady strides closer to him.She took a halt in front of him, her eyes burning with fury for him."What is your problem? Why can't you just give up, and understand that I don't want you? You had to use Vera to execute your plans, why?" She mouthed.He cleared his throat, "Why can't you see it? I love you, Quinn. I know I messed up in the past, but I am here now to ask for your forgiveness. Just give me a chance, please, I promise to make things right," he replied, taking a step closer to her.He held her arms, looking into her eyes. He studied her expression and added."I can see it in your eyes that you love me. Quinn, I know you are st
