"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
In the past four months, Harrison had had more than three assistants. None of them had lasted up to two months. They all resigned because they could not cope with Harrison's cold attitude and nagging. "Here is my resignation letter, sir. Please, sign it." The young man said, placing the white paper on the table.Harrison looked at him, letting out a sigh. He took the envelope and brought out the paper. He took a pen and signed on it."Thank you, sir. It was nice working with you," the man said, and took a bow, before leaving.He threw his head back, leaning on the chair, as he shut his eyes, wondering what next to do.How would he start finding another assistant to work for him? Just as he thought about everything that had been going on, the door opened up, revealing his sister.He glanced at her and shut his eyes again.Jasmine looked worried, and she walked towards him. "Harrison, what is happening? I saw your assistant packing his things from the office. Is everything okay?" She
Harrison did not stop trying to talk to Quinn, but every time he came around, Quinn would shut him out.It became routine for him that he visit Quinn after work. "Why are you being stubborn? Do you hate the fact that I'm being too nice to you? I said stay away from my sister, don't you get?" Ivan mouthed, as he came to find Harrison by the door, waiting for Quinn."Please, I just want to speak with her. It won't take more than five minutes," he replied, his voice sounding calmer than usual.Ivan chuckled, "You dare ask for five minutes? It seems like you don't understand that you can't even see her, even for a second.""Try to understand. It was only a misunderstanding that can be sorted out between the two of us. Just let me speak with Quinn," he politely requested.Ivan was adamant about refusing to speak with his sister. He did not want her to have anything to do with Harrison at all."No! You cannot and will never speak with my sister. You had the chance, Harrison. You had more t
Since Harrison always visited her almost every day, she, somehow, always expected to see him. The doorbell rang, and Quinn rushed to the door, thinking it was Harrison. She wanted to hear him out, and it was the perfect opportunity to speak with him since Ivan and Vera were out.So hurriedly opened the door to find Ivan standing with a grocery bag. A tinge of disappointment appeared on her face."What? Is something wrong?" Ivan asked, noticing the expression on her face. She shook her head and wore a smile. She hugged him and took the bag from him."You are acting weird," Ivan admitted."Nothing. Let's just call it a pregnancy symptom," she said, giggling.He glanced at her with his eyebrows lifted."Whatever," he said, "I bought you fruits. It's good for your health.""Aw, you are such a darling!" She blushed, sitting down on the couch, ready to devour them."Hey, hey," he called out, causing her to pause. "You need to wash them, first, young lady."She growled, taking the basket t
Dressed in a bear doll costume, Harrison stood in front of the ferris wheel of the Marple Universe Amusement Park, trying to entertain the kids with his funny dance moves.He had been standing there for half an hour, but it seemed like the children preferred to play the other fun games rather than watch him dance.This was another of his part-time jobs. As ridiculous as it could be, he needed to do this for his girlfriend. They had been dating for a long time, and he felt that it was proper for him to propose to her.He glanced at his phone, it was just 9 pm in the evening. He had been working all day, and had barely had any minute to spare.Since he had been busy with his other part-time jobs, he hadn't been able to contact his girlfriend. While at it, he swiped his phone open, tapping on the call tab, and dialed his girlfriend's number.The phone rang thrice, before the receiver came through with a harsh tone."What?" She asked, abrasively. Her tone would sound rash to anyone that l
"Rowena," he whispered her name, wishing that he could take off the doll head, and reveal himself.He could, of course, but won't that only make him feel embarrassed? She knew about his multiple part-time jobs, but she didn't think he would be working in the amusement park. If she had known, maybe she would have taken her engagement party to somewhere else.He could not move an inch. He was too shocked to even stretch his hand to give her the flower.Seeing that he was reluctant to hand it over, she yanked it from his hands, and turned away, focusing her attention on the man.If only she knew who was holding her flowers..."Kiss her! Kiss her! Kiss her!" The crowd that stood to watch them chorused in eagerness.The man smiled, and pulled her closer to himself. He leaned forward, closing his eyes, as he planted a kiss on her lips.Right in front of Harrison, his girlfriend was kissing another man so passionately without a care in the world.He looked down at himself. Still in his bear
