Sonia muttered, still fixing her gaze on the lady. Tory and the others, who also saw her, fixed their gaze on her.She had already expected it, so she didn't feel any discomfort. Seeing how Sonia was looking at her, she frowned.What was really special about the girl? The fact that she was…blonde? Or did she cast them some kind of spell.She didn't know why, but she had an aversion for the lady. Not like she knew who she was or had met her before.It was just a feeling she could not explain.The lady walked towards them, she supposed it was the reception, so she made to ask for the Manager's office.That night, Jane had asked her to write an application letter, and submit it in the company's official page. Their responses were swift, meaning they were really looking for someone to work for them.Luckily, she had been invited for an interview, and that was why she came."Hello, good day."Sonia had regained her poise, and welcomed her in the usual formal, yet friendly tone."Hi, welco
Alex gave the announcement, and left. Other workers welcomed Mabel, including Sonia."I didn't know you were here for an interview. Congratulations, your office is over there, close to mine." She pointed at her office, and gave her a thumbs up, before heading back to her workplace."I'm super glad you got the job. I told you that the position was meant for you, congratulations!" Tory said, hugging her.She wanted to push her away, but she had to cope with it."Thank you, Tory." She wished she would let go of her as she was hugging her like she was squeezing a lemon.Finally, she loosened up, and let her go. Mabelle put on a wry smile, and then, her eyes caught Nathan's intense gaze on her. Carina was still looking at her, and how everyone liked her. Could she be the only one feeling an aversion for her? If so, why?She saw Nathan approaching her, and couldn't help, but feel some sort of emotion, like jealousy.Why was she even jealous? He was only going to greet her, right? Nothing e
Carina stared at Nathan in shock. Not again! Why does he find pleasure in accusing her of things she did not do? Why did it seem like he didn't trust her anymore? What wrong did she do to him?His piercing glare was like a thorn that tore through her heart. Seeing the way he looked at her, like he no longer trusted her.Sonia had said that he came looking for her, and now, he was accusing her of going out with another man!"Why do you like accusing me of things I never did?" She asked, her voice cracking like she would break down into a river of tears.He didn't feel any form of pity or guilt. He scoffed, dragging the seat out, and resting his butt on it. "I am? Really? How am I accusing you? You told me you were going to be busy, working for the project tomorrow, and you won't be able to come over to my house. You didn't go home with Fiona, so where did you go, then?" He asked, observing her expression.The way he looked at her made her feel like he was suffocating her. Should she
Once Alex finished the job, he peeped outside the office, to make sure the coast was clear, before closing the door. He walked out of the office like nothing had happened, and he had not done anything.He picked up his phone, and called Andrea. He knew she would be excited to hear it. He did not like to see the two of them—Jayden and Andrea—that way. He was going to make sure he to get the evidence for Andrea, because it was the only way to make Jayden forgive her. They were best friends, all three of them, and seeing one fall out made it look incomplete.Jayden could be a little difficult, or a bit more of it, but they knew he had a heart of gold. It seemed so hard to let go of the past, and forget it. Did they really lose the old Jayden that was very jovial in school? Just because of a woman, he suddenly changed? If it were not for the friendship they shared, Jayden would never even treat them like that. Aside trying to reconcile with Jayden, they wanted him to be happy again.
Sonia was upset. She hadn't expected Carina to talk that way. How unfair was it? Could she not be understanding?She had understood that Carina was busy, and did not create any drama, but now, she didn't want her to associate with others. Does that not term as selfishness?"Carina, you are so selfish! All you care about is yourself, and no one else. Since you got promoted, how many times have you checked in on me? Yet, I kept using that elevator to make sure you are okay."As if that was not enough, you snub me, all because you wanted to get a project done. I was so hurt, but I understood that you were really busy. I felt lonely down there, I couldn't talk to Tory, and the rest. Now that I have someone to talk to, you are accusing me of leaving you? How ridiculous!" Sonia spat, word after word.The words were like sharp thorns piercing through her heart. They hurt so much, that she took a few steps backwards. Her eyes were already reddened, and at the verge of letting out hot stream o
Jayden had noticed the look on her face, but he had shrugged it off. She looked pale, and some strands of her hair we're sticking to her face, like glue was put on it.It made her look adorable, and Jayden could not stop stealing glances at her.He had not seen the red eyes, until she lifted up her face, and her face was in full view. He wanted to ignore. Not like he cared about what happened to her.Yet, he did not think twice before calling her back. He regretted his actions, but he could not just tell her it was nothing. He wondered why he had called her in the first place.He should have let her go. Now that he had called her, there was no turning back.He knew that after this, Mr. Interrogator would bombard him series of questions, and he was not ready to answer anything.Well, even if he did, he would shut him up. There was really nothing to explain. He was the boss, and Carina was his employee. There should be specific reason why he should ask her what the matter was.Alex, who
Carina had finally left to her office to practice for her presentation. She was still surprised that Jayden had observed her look. She pulled out her phone to check her face, but it was not too clear for her to see. She gave up trying to see how she looked.Her office was not too far from Jayden's. In fact, it was almost opposite his office, and because there was a glass window at the left side of the office, she could see anyone that passed by.Before now, the secretary's office was not situated in the last floor, but Andrea and Alex made Jayden to see reason why he should make her office to be in the last floor.She forgot to ask Alex for the location and the time of the meeting tomorrow, so as to be sure.She left, and headed to Alex's office.It was slightly open, and he didn't seem to hear her knock, so she pushed the already opened door. She did not mean to listen to his conversation. Though she didn't hear much or know who he was talking to, she had only heard the last senten
Fiona was still bothered about Carina's action. She was certain that something was wrong, and if her intuition was right, Sonia must have had knowledge about it.Since Sonia was her best friend, she was sure that Carina had told her something.She planned to meet Sonia, once she finished the work. She would have just left it and continued tomorrow, but she did not want it to be too much workload for her, the next day.She was almost done with it, when she heard a knock on the door. She saw Sonia's roaming eyes. At first, she did not know what she was looking for, but it registered in her mind that she must have been waiting for Carina, and since she did not see her, she decided to come and check her office.Just to be sure it was Carina she was looking for, she asked, "looking for Carina?" Sonia nodded like a child. She was disappointed when she did not meet Carina in her sister's office. Was Carina in her own office? Was she avoiding her?She had managed to spend the rest of the d
