"Thank you so much, sir." Martha smiled, her voice shaking a bit. "Thank you." Philip and Rita looked at her in an irritable manner. Philip was angry. His plan had failed woefully. He turned to leave immediately."Umm... Excuse me." Robert said softly. Philip turned and faced him once more. Robert smiled, addressing them all. "Thank you very much for coming. Please meet him and write down your account number for your compensation. Thank you, once again." He paused and turned to Robert. "Get a pen, alright?"Robert nodded and disappear ed from the room. Few minutes later, he reappeared with a little jotter and a pen."Thanks again, for coming. Ma'am Martha, please come with me. Excuse me." With that, Robert turned and headed up the stairs, with Martha scurrying behind him. Philip watched her go up the stairs, his eyes and blood boiling wit anger."Excuse me, sir." Raymond called out, trying to draw his attention to the matter at hand. But he was so engrossed in this loathing that he di
"Good morning, sis." Mary smiled widely, in front of the mirror, as her sister stirred in bed. "It's almost 11am, aren't you going to work, sleepyhead?"Juliet's eyes fluttered open. She moved her hair away from her face and inhaled. "Are you okay?" Mary asked again, when her sister didn't respond."I'm fine." Juliet finally said, her voice coarse yet soft. She sat up, gently rubbing her eyes with the back of her palm."So, what are we doing today since you aren't going to work?""Well, I don't know. Maybe I'll just have some more rest. My boss literally have me the day off just for that.""Oh! I see. That's nice, sleeping beauty." Mary hissed viciously. "What was that about?" Juliet asked calmly, still unable to understand why Mary acted the way she did towards Robert. "I know you don't relate well with strange people, but why does it seem like you hate him? He didn't even do anything to you. I mean, you just met him.""I don't hate him." Mary sighed, slightly rolling her eyes. "He'
"Hey you." Her voice was angelic. She bit her lip in a seductive manner and lent over her make up table, with the phone pressed against her ear. "I thought you'd never call.""That would have been bad of me, don't you think?""Well, yeah. But I already gave up on the whole date thing. I mean, it's almost 5pm. I thought something important came up and you had forgotten about me... I mean the date.""Oh Olivia! Something did come up but not enough to make me forget what we talked about yesterday. I'm sorry I didn't call earlier. Wait, how did you know I was the one calling?""I just knew." She giggled softly, staring at her reflection in the mirror. Her eyes glittered beautifully. "So what then now?"So...are you still up for the date? We are still going out today right?" Robert sounded almost thrilled, but trying his best to be composed."Yes, totally." She turned away from the mirror, jumping down from the swivel chair in excitement, her hand reaching to her chest, almost as if to hol
She looked in the mirror one last time, her red lips carving in to a mysterious smile. She leaned a bit forward and stared at her sparkling, silver shoes."Now, this is an ensemble for a date." She pushed her hair a backwards, but it came right back, bouncing in to position at the side of her face. She smiled once more, placing a little, fancy bag on one of her arms. In her other hand was her phone. "It's 7pm already. Arghh..." She grunted. "Where is this guy? Oh my word. I really needed his to come pick me up before it's time. Curse these drivers for rent." She dialled a number immediately and placed the phone against her ear, trying as hard as she could to be patient. But he did not answer. She grunted again, feeling very frustrated as she dialled his number again."Good eve...""Where are you, Greg? I told I needed to be out of the house by this time. Where are you?" Her voice was loud and somewhat agitated."I'm sorry, ma. I just got caught up in traffic.""Don't give me that, mis
He immediately looked away, his eyes on his date who was seating just across him. He flashed a clean smile at her, pretending that he hadn't seen Sophia. She and Michael were just about leaving the restaurant. "Baby, look who's here." Sophia stopped, a little past Robert's table. She smiled at Robert as Michael stretched his hand for a handshake. Robert hesitated, looking at Michael's hand closely and then back to Michael and Sophia's smiling face. "I see you're with somebody. Your girlfriend?"Robert shook Michael's hand carefully, a disgusting look on his face. Olivia watched him, unable to tell what was happening. But, one thing she could tell was that Robert wasn't comfortable with whoever these people were. She almost said something but she held herself back just in time."Like you said, I am with somebody. Do you have to ask all that?" He sighed, taking a pause in order to stop himself from saying something that may trigger Sophia and sabotage his date with Olivia. He suddenly
At the end of he date, Robert drove Olivia home in his car. The night had already gone really far at the time. While in the car they both stole some really steamy glances from each other, and talked a lot of other things that had not been shared in the date. Sometimes Robert will catch himself in the middle of laughter and wonder to himself if he was really indeed ready for whatever it was he was about getting into. She would catch him in those moments, and he would return her gaze with a smile, wondering if she caught him in those moments at times.They arrived at her vicinity soon enough and Robert stepped down from the car, and then circled it to go open the door for Olivia."What a gentle man" she said, both cheeks on her face red as she blushed hard."Well, atleast I try my best to be a gentleman." He chuckled as he guided her down the vehicle. For some reason she nearly tripped down from the car, but quickly with a dash as quick as light, he caught before she would plunge int
Martha smiled dryly, feeling the little bun her hair was styled in."Umm..." She giggled in a dry tone. "I just wanted to make sure the door was locked." She held her hands together, feeling nervous for some reason. Liam walked to her, a stern look on his face."There is no need for that here. As you can see, there are more than enough guards outside to keep this place safe." He paused and looked at her suspiciously, getting even closer to her. He bent a bit so she could hear him well enough. "Look Martha, I recommended you for this job because I trust you. Don't do anything to make me lose that trust... Because it won't be a pretty sight." His tone was very low, but he was sure she heard him because the fear in her eyes didn't try to hide in anyway."Oh! Don't worry, sir. I will never do anything to lose your trust. I promise to do my job very well." She managed to say, still unable to hide the fear in her. Liam could still see it."Now, that's better." He smiled suddenly, taking fe
Robert got to the office that morning feeling whole. He had finally laid down the doubts in his heart about dating Olivia, deciding to give it a try. But it was the exact opposite for Juliet. She sat at her desk feeling very dejected and incomplete. Robert had talked to her for a while when he came in, asking how she was doing. And she wore a smile and responded "fine". She knew she wasn't fine, and it made her wonder if she would ever truly be happy. At least, seeing Robert's face had lifted her mood. But unknown to her, the feeling wasn't going to last long.It was almost lunch break. So, Juliet was surprised when she heard the elevator ding."It must be Liam... Again." She rolled her eyes as she said to herself. But to her greatest surprise, a woman walked in. Long red hair that followed behind her, beautiful curves, with baby blue eyes. She had a short black dress on, coupled with a pair of black, glittering heels. Juliet knew she didn't work at the office, but she looked awfully
