Carina wanted to wait and get an answer from him, but she knew she had to go and meet the boss. She wouldn't dare keep him waiting. Giving one last inquisitive look at Nathan, she walked past him, and headed to the elevator. Nathan sighed in relief. He had no disorder, so he thought. He looked at Alex in disdain, before leaving Carina's table.Alex watched him leave, without saying a word. He shook his head, and went over to Sonia's table."Hey babe," he said, pushing out a seat.Nathan had thought that Sonia didn't hear what he was conversing with Carina, but she did. Though she was busy with some files, her ears had been strained to listen to their conversation.She didn't mean to do that, but there was something she heard, and decided to pay attention to it. She wasn't the one in love with Nathan, so Carina might not notice.Nathan really looked like someone with a disorder, but she just couldn't point out what kind of disorder it was.She didn't want to tell Fiona about it, beca
Carina couldn't believe her ears. What the hell was wrong with Nathan? Wasn't he the one, who apologized almost an hour ago? Did he not trust her?Luckily, no one was close enough to hear the nonsense he spat."Nathan, what the hell is wrong with you? What are you talking about?" She said, giving him a confused look.Nathan scoffed, you know what I'm talking about, Carina. It's 10 minutes past 5pm, and you're leaving the boss' office with a smile on your face. What do you expect me to think?" He said, almost yelling.Carina knew that it was a misunderstanding. He had actually misunderstood her. If only she was not blinded by her love for Nathan, maybe she would have noticed that he was clearly not misunderstanding her. He hated the fact that she was going to be close to Jayden. He didn't want to see her around any man, except him.He believed that he was free to do anything, while he restrained his supposed woman from getting close to a guy."Nathan, c'mon. You just misunderstood th
When Carina arrived home, she ran to greet her mother. She had just returned from the hospital, and was waiting for them in the sitting room.Though Carina was busy at work, she did take out some time to visit her mother in the hospital."Mom, you are back!" She said, running into her embrace. Fiona could not act like the tough girl she claimed to be. She followed suit, sitting at the right hand side of her mother, and hugged her."I missed you two. I missed home," she said, hugging them tight."How are you feeling now, ma?" Fiona asked, disengaging from the hug. "I'm okay. I'm fine, now."Fiona looked at her, making sure she was really okay. When she was sure that she was in a good health condition, she nodded in satisfaction."I'm sure you've not had anything yet. I'll go prepare something for us," Fiona said, and made her way to her room to have a quick shower.Carina was left with her mother, "ma, how about you rest now. I have work to do, and guess what…I got a promotion!" She
Carina's heartbeat increased as the seconds passed by. She didn't know what to expect.Not like she didn't believe Fiona. She did, but there were talking about a professional secretary who has been in the business for long. She wanted to believe that she did a good job, but talking to Andrea right now, made her feel nervous.It didn't take up to 30 minutes, before she called her. Does it mean she didn't do well? How was Andrea going to react? She didn't want to let her down, but it seemed like she had already disappointed her."Hello, Carina."Hearing her voice, she felt even more nervous. "Go…good evening," she replied. She couldn't call her by name, as she had asked her to do, neither could she call her in a formal way. She just didn't want to do anything that will upset her."Why do you sound nervous? Is everything okay?" Andrea asked, sensing the nervousness in her voice."No, uh.. everything is fine. I just wasn't expecting your call tonight. I thought you might have slept, no
Henry was ready to sleep all day, in the room. He couldn't blame Mikel for leaving him behind. He was going to meet his woman, and as such, wouldn't want a third party.He stared at Mikel, wondering if he was sure about his tagging along. Was he only doing that because he felt bad for him? Aside being his assistant, he was also his friend."Mikel, it's fine. I'll be fine, here," he said, sitting on the bed.Mikel glared at him, "I asked you to come, right? If I didn't want you around, I wouldn't ask you to follow me. Now, get your ass off that bed, and dress up. Do not waste my time!" He said, pulling out a seat, to wait for him.Henry felt happy. He was lucky to have Mikel as a boss and friend. He got up, and walked towards the wardrobe, opening it wide enough to showcase all the clothes that hung in there.After rummaging through, he finally took out a simple outfit—a pair of jean trousers and a shirt. He looked at himself in the mirror, as he combed his hair. Taking one last look
When Andrea heard the name, she was taken aback. Was it the Jane she knew? How did Henry know her? She wouldn't deny that Jane was a model, but she just didn't think they would know each other.Wasn't Jane part of Charles' group? For sure, Henry had no knowledge about this."You mean Jane, the Beauty Diva?" She asked to be sure.When she saw Mikel nodding his head, she couldn't believe it. It was really true. How unlucky he was, to love someone like her."Can we talk in your room? I want to tell you something," Mikel said, and they both went upstairs.Andrea was curious to know what Mikel wanted to tell her. His expression was serious, and she knew it was something that important.She hurriedly sat next to him, curiously waiting for him to speak.When he didn't say anything, she decided to remind him."You wanted to tell me something," she said, giving him a piercing gaze."Yeah, but I'm not sure about it yet."She wondered what it was he wanted to tell her. He seemed a little bit h
She had totally forgotten about their date. They were supposed to have a date, since they cancelled the other one. She swiped right, and before she could say a word, Natalia had already took the initiative."Andrea!!!" She screamed so high, that Andrea had to take the phone away from her ear. If anyone had heard her screaming, they would think she was a teenager, not knowing she was an adult. An adult with a personality of a crazy woman. It only made her unique, as she was fun to be with. No matter how angry you were, once Natalia was involved, you would likely forget about the anger, and laugh your ass out. "Natalia, stop yelling!" Andrea could hear Natasha say. They were twins with different personalities. While Natalia was the crazy, yet cheerful woman with a whole lot of vibes, Natasha was more reserved. Though she was friendly, she was more quiet and calm.Andrea chuckled."Hey, cousin. How are you doing? It's been a while," she said, putting back the phone to her ear."We
Carina was too gladdened, that she couldn't sleep all night. She was the first to wake up, and Fiona chuckled at her eagerness.She didn't want to be late for work, not when she was about to start her duty as the interim secretary."I see someone's already up, so early."Fiona was already awake. She was a nocturnal person, so no matter how early anyone in the house would wake up, she would always be the first to awake."Fee! You scared me. Well, you can't blame me, I don't want to be late for work, you know," she giggled, " no need to ask why you are up so early. You never sleep," she added, before moving to the kitchen to make tea for her mother.Carina had already picked out the outfit for work, last night. After having her bath, she took the clothes out, and put it on. It was a turquoise shirt, and a black velvet skirt, which stopped a little above her knees, having a zip at the back, and a slit too.Matching it with a pair of black heels, she put on a gloss that made her lips glo
