"Why are you looking at me like that?" Emily required of Williams."Nothing, so what did this guy do exactly?" The smirk on Williams's face was visible, he didn't even try to hide it. Emily knew it was better than to not ask him, after all, she was confiding in him and she could have bet a million dollars that he saw that as a sign of her non-existing affection for him."Are you listening to me? He left his work post and didn't come back till I made him. What sort of a man does that?""Give him a break Em, the work is excruciatingly boring and I think he just got tired of sitting around and doing nothing.""Don't I pay him? I pay him to do it.""Today is his first day so technically you haven't paid him yet. Look, every young guy is desperately looking for ways to make some money and in most cases, it's not usually one way. Guys love to have different streams of income and I think that's what your driver is doing. So give him a break."Emily looked at Williams, she never loved accepti
Sebastian could hear the birds chirping as he enjoyed the sushi that Emily had bought for herself. It was a big upgrade from sitting in Ethan's parlour and eating garbage. Her face was bright and sunny, she didn't look tired at all even though she had been working all day. It gave Sebastian the hint that maybe she loved her job too much and Sebastian could see why. Her office was as spacious as his shared apartment with Ethan, she could have food delivered to her and she never had to leave the office except it was absolutely necessary. She had a lot on her plate but having money made it super easy, Sebastian immediately wanted some of that money. Sebastian was aware that she considered him more than just a driver. He was hoping that he could get her to consider him as a suitable person for her company after having helped her. He could hear the birds singing in agreement with his plan. His future had suddenly become very bright and he was going to bask in its euphoria."So what type o
The chair twirled as Emily sat on it shakily. She was unsure of Williams's reason for telling her about his deal. She just hoped that her father didn't call him to use the deal as a way of motivating her to do something big. It wouldn't be the first time her father would have done something like that. He had used Williams a lot of times to get through to Emily. He knew how much she held him in high respect and he was always trying to milk the situation whenever he could. Well, she wasn't going to let him succeed.She heard a knock on her door and sat up straight on her chair. Too tired to tell her audience to come in, she waited patiently for the person to just barge through."Good afternoon ma'am," Sandra said as she walked into the office."Yes, how can I help you?" "Ma'am, I was speaking with HR and I was informed that you hired a new driver.""I didn't know that the office has turned into a gossip ground for the workers," Emily said as she lifted her eyes from her system. She had
Liam looked out the window, his eyes were fixated on a beautiful bird that kept moving. In all his life he has never seen something so beautiful. His eyes shifted from the bird to the leaves, he adored the way they danced to the rhythm of the music the air played. Nature was always a fascinating thing to Liam, he was in tune with his feelings but unfortunately the people around him did not understand theirs at all.With a sigh and a smile on his face, he stepped out of the car and closed the door. He took slow, steady steps trying to soak in the rays of the sun. Allowing the warm summer breeze to graze through his skin. He smiled at every moment completely ignoring the stares he got from people.He was almost sad when the walls of the hospital shielded him from the sun rays and the wind. It was more chilly inside than it was outside. Maybe it was due to the fact that the staffs of the hospital needed the coldness to be able to store test tubes that held very important samples."Hello.
Liam watched as the slender girl walked away and he looked down at his dressing. He never knew that he dressed as a rich kid. Regardless of the fact that his parents were multi millionaire with a very lucrative business to their name, he had always tried to keep a low profile. It was a difficult task to accomplish especially when his mother would always go shopping for him and not allow him to chose any outfit for himself. Getting into his car, he couldn't help but smile at how brave the girl was. He had never met anyone like her. He was used to girls agreeing to every word he said because of his position in the society, it was nice to be treated like a human for a change.Her blue eyes shone brightly still in his memories and he was having a difficult time getting rid of it. Starting his engine, he imagined her face with a smile. He didn't doubt that she would be beautiful with a smile on her face. He could see it now. It would be as radiant as the sun.He hummed a tune to himself a
Liam slammed the door shut immediately he stormed into it. He had never been so angry in his life. He looked around his room, hoping to find something that he could break. But everything in his room was priceless, almost all his gifts were given to him by his aunt Caroline. He wished she was around to see him now. He knew that she would be able to calm him down, she always knew what to say. "Don't let them get to you boy. Your parents are just a tough nut to crack. Look at it as a challenge and a puzzle that needs to be solved. Everyone has a soft spot, find your parent's soft spot and work with it."He would give anything to be hugged by her. Aunt Caroline always smelled of onions and ginger. She was always looking for different fruits to combine and form a smoothie, but the one ingredient she would never miss while preparing her drink was ginger. She had always advised him to find what he loved and escape to it whenever the weight of the world was too much on his shoulders. Liam l
Liam watched in dread as his mother slowly closed the door behind her. He got up and headed straight to the window where he stared at the bird that was singing a melody. He was aware of his parent's ugly behaviour and he wasn't surprised at it. But he knew that he won't let them hurt him so much by keeping aunt Caroline away from him. She was the only family member that he loved. "Your parents love you, Liam, they just have a weird way of showing it." She had once told him."Maybe I should develop a weird way of receiving it," Liam had said with anger as he sat on a sofa in her one-room apartment. She was their relative but she never asked them for money. Always wanted to do things on her own. She didn't want to be indebted to anyone and she mostly didn't want anyone taking the glory for her hard work. That was how Liam's parents were. They never allowed anyone to succeed without them taking part in the glory of it. As long as they had helped you in one way or the other, you will be
Liam needed to connect with nature. It was the only thing that could keep him sane especially when his aunt was absent. He drove with his windows down, allowing the breeze to blow away his pain and anger. He wanted to run away, wanted to be by himself or at least be with someone who understood him but he couldn't do any of those. He understood why his aunt had never collected anything from his parents. Why she strived so much to be independent and not involve them in her daily activities. It was for reasons like these. He parked his car along the curb of the street. He was still as he watched the occupants of New York city go about their normal business. It brought peace to him to know that everyone had one issue or the other but they still went about their business like nothing was wrong. He saw a little girl sitting on a bench and licking her ice cream with a smile on her face. He couldn't spot either of her parents so he left to go talk to the girl. He walked up to her and immedia
