She served him his usual coffee and read out his schedule. She didn't give him a chance to say anything, she walked out of the office.Making sure that there was nothing that would make her come back to the company or get in contact with Harrison, she printed out the resignation letter and put it inside the envelope."Hmm," she sighed and kept the letter aside. She packed up her bag and made sure that the office was cleared, looking like the first day she came, only that memories would be left behind.However, she did not care. There were only bittersweet memories that she did not want to keep in.She walked out of the office to the cafeteria, since it was lunch break. She did not care if she was breaking his rules, after all, in a few minutes, she would no longer be a member of the company anymore."Quinn!" Kimberly yelled, waving at her to join them.She gave her a signal that said that she was coming. She walked to the counter and ordered just a bottle of water."Hey, guys." She sm
They all watched as Quinn took out a carton box, containing her belongings out of the company. They wondered why she had to leave."Miss Ro, are you really leaving us? Who will deal with the CEO? You do very well that no one can tolerate the CEO more than you do," the sales representative said to her, giving her pleading eyes."You all will be fine, okay? My reasons are quite personal, I can't reveal it to any of you. I just hope you understand, but I will be coming over most time to visit you all. Just do your jobs properly, and there will be no problem. I assure you," she said to all of them, bidding them goodbye, as she turned to leave.Kim ran to her, throwing her arms around her neck. She hugged her tightly, her eyes looking watery as she tried not to cry."Won't you at least tell me what is going on?" She asked for the umpteenth time.Quinn sighed, wishing she could disclose it to her, " I wish I could, Kim. The thing is, it is more complicated than you think. One day, you will
He stared down at the file in Hardy's hand. Just what he wanted. Finally, he would know the truth about Quinn.He snatched the document from Hardy and opened it hastily. He glanced through the papers and pictures. One of the pictures in it was a picture of Quinn and Ivan when they were young. "Her face didn't change at all," Harrison whispered."That is a picture of Miss Ro and her twin brother when they were only five years old. It is true that Miss Ro, indeed, has a twin. They are both siamese twins, that is why they don't resemble, and it is hard to tell." He mentioned, waiting for Harrison to turn to the next picture.Next, was a picture of Quinn's parents. "That is Miss Ro's parents. They died in a car accident and didn't survive it. According to my research, Quinn was just a teenager when her parents died two days after her birthday party. She was blamed for her parent's death because she had asked them to get her a teddy bear, and she had insisted on it. Since then, they live
It was the first day he would be at work without Quinn. He walked into his office with a cold expression. He sat on the swivel chair, going through the book on the table.He stretched his hand to pick up his cup of coffee, but he didn't find anything to grab. He lifted his eyes away from the book, and sighed, as he realized that there was no cup of coffee for him that morning.Soon, someone knocked on the door, and he ushered the person in.It was a dark skinned petite lady who looked like she was in her early twenties. She rushed to the table and placed a cup of coffee."Good morning, sir. I'm so sorry for bringing your coffee late. I was trying to get familiar with—""Who are you?" Harrison cut in, glaring at her.She gulped, feeling the cold gaze on her skin. She cleared her throat and introduced herself."Sorry, sir. My bad. My name is Antonia Thomas, your new assistant." She replied, trying to wear a smile.He gazed at her from head to toe. He didn't say a word. He picked up the
"Berley!" Quinn yelled, running out of the house to meet Kim.She threw her arms over her and hugged her. She went on to give Michael a side hug, as the three of them went inside the house."Hi, Ivan!" Kim said, waving at him. "Hello, Vera.""Hi, you're welcome."Michael shook hands with Ivan and they all settled down."Why didn't you tell us you were coming? We would have prepared something for you guys," Vera said, standing up to go to the kitchen."Ah, never mind. We didn't plan to come today. Michael said we don't just drop by to see Quinn. It's been a while," Kimberly said, smiling."Oh, that's nice. I'll go get you some juice. I'll be back in a jiffy," Kim said and walked away.Quinn sat beside her brother, while Kimberly say with Michael."So, how are you? I mean, really." Kim asked, giving her a "don't you lie to me" look.Quinn sighed, smiling a little. "I'm fine, Kim. I promise, I am.""So, why did you leave? You just left me, us without a word. Even the CEO has not been him
"Thank you so much, for coming! I really appreciate it," Quinn said, walking them out of the house."Of course! You are our friend, and we value you. Sadly, you are not working in the company again. Who will I gossip with?" Kim pouted, folding her arms over her breasts."Save all the gossip. Tell me about them whenever you come around," Quinn told her, and gave her a hug."Goodnight, Quinn. Take good care of yourself," Michael said, waving at her."Bye, Quinn!" Kim said, joining Michael, as he flagged a cab.She smiled and waited until they entered the cab, and drove away."Someone looks happy," Ivan said, hanging his hand over her shoulder.She smiled at him, "of course. Their visit shows how much they care, and that's so sweet."Ivan smiled, and did not say anything. Suddenly, he threw a question at her."Why did you resign, princess?" She turned to him, sharply. Her heart began to race."N... nothing," she replied, looking away. She wished she could tell a lie without having to l
"Goodnight, princess," he wished, kissing her forehead.He stared at her, as she slept peacefully, like the princess she was. He stepped out of the house, as he was unable to sleep. He stood outside, trying to calm his nerves. Vera walked out of the house in her nightdress and stood beside him."Can't sleep, yeah?" She asked, looking at him."Why did she have to hide such a thing from me?" He said, staring afar."Well, you have to understand your sister. She has been through a lot, and she does not want to bother anyone with her problems. She has always been like that." Vera tried to explain to him.He clenched his teeth, "I'll be going out tomorrow. I'll be back in the evening.""Where are you going?" Vera asked, staring at his face. She could see anger and bitterness written all over his face. She was sure that he wanted to confront Harrison."I need to let some people know their place here on Earth. Just because he has money, does not mean he can do to people whatever he pleases.
"Who are you? What are you talking about?" Jasmine yelled, looking at Ivan.Since it was night, she could not make out his face, so she didn't remember him. Ivan studied her face closely, "you. It's you."Jasmine frowned, wondering what he meant. "Me, what? Do I know you?""How would you know?" He said, taking in a deep breath to calm down."It was you at the family banquet in Texas. You were with a lady at the car park, and I came to take her. She was crying profusely. Why? It was because of him!" She yelled, pointing at Harrison.His explanation made her remember the guy who called her a princess. Her mouth formed an 'O' as she didn't know what to say.She could not lie that she didn't know 2hwt Harrison did to Quinn. Well, she knew everything except the thing that happened between them in the office."What? Are you speechless?" Ivan questioned. "Never mind. I didn't come for you but for this rich brat of a CEO!""Can we talk?" Harrison finally voiced out after being quiet for a wh
