A knock on Milan's office door signals him that the people he had been expecting must have arrived. Milan adjusts the files on his desk and leans back on his seat. "Come in"The door is immediately swung open, and Melissa walks in, followed by Ella with a disturbed look. Ella shuts the door behind her and goes ahead to stand next to Melissa but keeps her distance enough. "Goodmorning sir"Melissa says courteously with her head hanging lowly as it was obvious she felt remorseful about getting into a fight with Ella. Ella, on the other hand, refused to make eye contact with Milan and decided to look anywhere else apart from his face as his office walls suddenly seemed to look interesting to her. Milan takes off his glasses and stares at both of them with his dull eyes. "The reason why the both of you have been summoned here today is because a meeting was conducted concerning the fight and the video that went round on the Internet, and a decision was reached."Ella played with th
It was Milan's first meeting, Mr. Martin in his house. Milan rings the doorbell and waits for a few seconds before the door is swung open. Who Milan was least expecting to see was a young lady in her twenties who looked like a replica of Mr. Martin. The brunettee with her Hazel eyes, stared at Milan with a bright smile as she subtly admired his facial features. Milan clears his throat and proceeds to speak in order to break the awkward silence. "Good day. I'm here to see Mr.Martin"The woman nodded and opened the door wider. "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting. He has been expecting you"The door is closed, and the brunette leads Milan to the lounge rook where Mr. Martin is seated comfortably with a glass of wine in his hand and a TV remote in the other. "Mr. Martin"Milans voice grabbed Mr. Martin's attention, and he quickly looked at Milan and smiled widely, getting up from his seat. "Milan Reyes. Long time no see"Milan shared a handshake with Mr. Martin and sat on the sofa n
The sound of rain hitting the ground was a sound that Milan had found himself to hate as it only reminded him of the day he caught his ex - wife Ella had been cheating on him. "Crank up the music a bit"Milan instructs the driver, and he does as he is told. The sound of the music seems to help Milan relax a little on his way to work. "Oh poor thing"The driver spoke underneath his breath. "What is the matter?"Milan was only curious after hearing the concern behind the drivers voice. The driver cleared his throat and pointed ahead. "Boss, it seems there is a lady caught under the rain ahead."Milan follows the direction the driver pointed at, but he could only clearly see the face of the lady when their car got a bit closer.The lady turned out to Brienna, Mr. Martin's daughter. She was dressed in a floral sleeves dress, and her brunette hair was a wet mess as she stood at the front of the hood of her car looking distressed. The car window was brought down a little as Milan's ca
Milan is speechless for a while as he tries to process the sudden information that had been given to him. Although he felt a twinge of panic inside, he spoke calmly on the phone. "What hospital is she at?""Green Hills Hospital""Okay. I'll be there. "Milan hangs up the phone and leaves his line, not bothering about his flight that he is going to miss. Milan calls his driver, who comes and picks him up and takes him to the hospital in a rush. On his way there, Milan hoped that Pamela would be alright. He had told her he would come visit the last time they met but he had been so busy wve since then he hasn't had the time to. Milan makes his way into the large hospital and rushes to the reception. "I'm looking for Pamela Morgan."The nurses instruct him to go to the room, and Milan hurriedly makes his way there. He catches his breath a little and clears his throat before knocking on the door gently, not wanting to bother Pamela in case she is asleep. "Aunt Pamela. It's Milan. I'
Compared to the weather during Mr. Reyes birthday, The sun was shining bright and the skies were clear and blue. The air was fresh, and the breeze was relaxing, but the mood was dampening. Everyone stood wearing black and watched sorrowfully as Pamela's cassette was dropped into the ground in her backyard According to Daniel, Pamela wanted to be buried in her own house so Danielf decided to make her happy by making her wish come true. Milan watched with a stoic expression and some people who came shredded tears. Milan knew then to be Pamela's friends or workmates. As everyone stood back to watch, Daniel stood at the front one palm on his wrist and his dark shades. Daniel wasn't smiling to anyone that day. No one knew what was going on in his head. Once the grave was covered, everyone slowly dropped flowers and retreated one after the other. Milan stood with at a corner with a cigratte in his lips as she watched Daniel from afar to see what his next move was but Daniel just st
Daniel felt a rush of adrenaline in him as he walked into his favourite club. The sound of the music blaring loudly from the speakers helped elevate Daniel's gloomy mood. The colourful that were blinking, the crowd, people dancing and letting lose, the smell of alcohol and smoke in the air was what Daniel had come to love and find comfort in. As he stepped in, a few of his clubbing buddies who had hung out with him one or many times came to greet him. "Welcome back, D! What happened? You've been MIA for a long time now. We started to miss you. "A dark-haired guy covered in tattoos said with an arm around Daniel shoulder. Daniel shrugged with a weak smile playing on his lips. "Eh. I've been busy here and there. "Another guy laughed. "Dude, no one is ever too busy to have fun! Especially not you, D!"The rest of them roared in agreement. "Whatever. I just decided to stop by, and I don't need you folks in my damn business. "The guy known as Sparky removed his hand from Daniel's
Daniel stares at Milan, a bit shocked to sss him at the club. Milan keeps a blank expression and goes ahead to repeat himself. "Let her go"Brienna, in her drunk state, squints her eyes to look at Milan. Brienna's eyes widen, and she claps in delight as recognition flashes in her eyes. "Milan! It's youuu"Brienna slurs and almost trips over her own feet, but Daniel holds her firmly to stop her from falling. Milan looks at Daniel's hands around Brienna and frowns. "Where do you think you're taking her? Let her go. "Milan states calmy, and his bodyguards appear behind Daniel with stoic expressions. Daniel chuckles and raises his two hands in surrender. Milan's boduguard takes hold of Brienna, who is giggling uncontrollably due to the alcohol in her system. "I was simply taking her home, but you seem to know her, so go ahead."Daniel says dryly. Milan ignores him and gestures for the bodyguard to take Brienna into his car. Milan stares at Daniel one last time, then walks past hi
On Milan's way out of his office, the last person he expected to bump into was Brienna. Once Brienna saw Milan, she lets out a nervous laugh. "Goodmorning sir"Milan nodded. "Good morning. How are you feeling today?"Brienna looks down at her feet nervously."I-Im feeling good. Uh- how are you, sir? "Brienna stuttered on her words. "I'm good as well. I have a lot of work to do today, though. So I have to get to it. "Milan proceeds to leave, but Brienna stops him. "Uhm- Please, can you spare me some of you time?"Milan pauses in his step and decides to hear her out while still keeping his usual blank expression. Brienna takes in a deep, long breath before she speaks."Thank you for taking me home last night, and I'm sorry if I caused you any trouble at all, sir."Milan sends her small smile. "It's not a problem."Brienna smiles at him. "I'm glad to hear that. I don't mean to keep you any longer, sir, so I'll be on my way then. "Milan stops hee from leaving. "The man you wer
