2024-10-29 19:42:56Davide was on his knees, looking at Mr Lee as he sat in his chair without saying a word. Silence grew between them. Davide couldn't guess the reason why Mr Lee wanted him in the office, he had come to believe that Mr Lee actually got off on punishing him. The pleasure probably shoots straight to the roof and if it's as strong as Davide suspected, it might even break through the roof.
He knelt there, in front of the door, eyes pinned on Mr Lee and his thoughts wavering between running away or just continuing serving the punishment, waiting for whatever Mr Lee had to say.
"Quit," Mr Lee suddenly said out of the blue.
"I want you to quit, have you not come to realize that you do not belong here?"
Davide wanted to laugh, but if he did then he would have a lot of explaining to do, he would have to tell Mr Lee where his cockiness was coming from, where the humor lied because the man would surely not

Zeta smiled as she saw Davide making his way over to him. She hadn't expected him to appear suddenly or even appear at all. She realized that what she had done before, when they had fought, had been irrational and she hoped that Davide would not hold it against her. She saw his calm smile and the emotions in his eyes and knew for certain that Davide cares deeply for her. It was in everything he does.He calmly walked over, with wide shoulders, visible biceps and triceps, clean haircut and beautiful eyes. Everything about Davide was perfect, from his head to his toes, he was worth a thousand stares.They didn't make any conversation when he stopped in front of her, she didn't move and neither did he. They both stood outside the car and just stared at each other.Davide had had a lot going on that it didn't feel like only a day had passed since they last spoke. A lot has happened, it seemed like it has been months to

Zeta looked at Davide suspiciously, there was really nothing to be suspicious of but it was different that he also did not lash out or walk away like he normally did, but instead, he brought his hand forward to take her own.She gave him her hand and a smile graced his face. Truthfully, the reason why her mood became sullen was because she was feeling a bit bad about the conversation they just had. She saw herself as being a good friend, providing solutions to the problem that Davide presented to her but he refused to take her advice, instead he was trying to understand the man in question, to see past his flaws and Zeta suddenly felt bad. She could also see past his flaws, now it just felt like she was such a bad person, the person who wanted Davide to fire him like she had no heart, just a dark space in her chest.That was the reason why her mood changed, she felt like a bad influence, a bad person. Meanwhile Davide was different, she also

Davide and Zeta sat together on the terrace, the soft evening breeze brushing against their faces. The atmosphere was calm, yet an unspoken tension lingered in the air as Zeta hesitated to open up about her past. Davide could sense her unease. He drew his chair closer as he said, "That pretty face isn't good for frowning, you'd only get wrinkles." A gentle smile appeared on his lips, and when Zeta's eyes met his, she chuckled. "It was an abusive relationship," Zeta finally admitted, her voice barely above a whisper. "He just won't let go, and I've been living in fear of what he might do next." Davide's expression softened as he listened attentively. "I understand," he replied, "I was in a marriage like that once. It's not easy to break free from such toxicity." Zeta looked at him, "Yours with Avery was just something that could have been avoided. But you were in love." she took in a deep breath. "Yes," Davide confirmed, his gaze briefly drifting off into the distance as he reca

My Lee looked between Davide and Derek, he didn't realise that the situation was going to turn out into something like this. He was greatly unfavoured and he couldn't help but blame Davide. Everything was turning out to be very annoying to him and he wished he could just walk away but that would mean disrespecting the CEO. Mr Lee didn't know how to manage the situation, he was a manager and he was suddenly failing at his job. He chuckled, "the thing is, he is a new employee, I cannot make him in charge of this project. He met many other colleagues and those ones have been waiting for their chance, it's really unfair to them". Derek rolled his eyes, he looked at Mr Lee and pointed out the bullshit he was spitting with just a stare, "well, if they think it's unfair, then tell them to hatch up a plan, to bring forth an idea that will help the company the same way this one is doing". Mr Lee chuckled, "sir, unfortunately that's not how it's done.." Derek raised an eyebrow, he had prid

Davide stood confused at what was in front of him. Mr Lee was making very abrupt assumptions about him. He knew Mr Lee obviously hated what had transpired with Derek but he never expected that he would assume that Davide was after some other thing. He had no desires except to be granted the credit for his idea. He looked at the darkness in between Mr Lee's eyes and knew that no matter what he had to say, Mr Lee would think he was lying. He already believed that Davide was after something and there was nothing that Davide would say or do to change that idea that Mr Lee had about him so he had no choice to just accept it. Moreover, he was taken aback by this assumption of Mr Lee and he had no comeback, he had nothing to say so he saw it better to just shut up and look. To watch the older man glare at him like he was the problem when truthfully he had done nothing wrong. "What more do you want boy?!" Mr Lee bellowed. "Do you want to be the manager? Do you want my position? Is that wha

Davide was confused, he brought the phone to his eyes to confirm that he really did hear Mr lee's voice and he wasn't dreaming. He looked at the screen of the phone and it was indeed Mr Lee's name plastered on the phone screen. He looked at the time and saw that it was almost four in the morning. He groaned, Mr Lee was still yelling at him about one thing or the other, Davide couldn't fathom what he was saying, he was sleepy and he was trying hard to fight it. "Fuck, Davide get up from the bed" Mr Lee said. "Why?" He groaned into the phone. "Have you forgotten?" "Forgotten what?" Davide was still tired, it was early in the morning, he wondered where Mr lee got the agility, the strength to actually be yelling at him so early. It seemed that from his voice he was wide awake. But how could someone be wide awake barely four in the morning. "You're the manager now, you have responsibilities," Mr Lee said. "Oh, you mean the job you shoved down my throat?" Davide's sleepiness was slo

Avery was walking towards the entrance of the restaurant. Davide was shocked wondering how come that she was able to find him, it was the same thing with the house, she had found him and made sure to let him know that she knew the place and she was doing the same thing right now. Davide made sure he walked out before she could walk into the restaurant and met her at the door. She looked very angry like Davide was the reason why she was so angry and he trusted that even if it was something else that ruffled her feathers, she would blame him for it. "What are you doing here?" He asked her but he.knew it was a waste of time because she wasn't going to say the truth, she wasn't going to admit to anything. "Why haven't you checked up on me and our child?" She asked. Then Davide realized that he was actually guilty of what she was accusing him of, no matter whether he hated her, she was carrying his child and at the very least, he was supposed to check up on her just to know if their ch

Davide shook his head at her. He couldn't believe that he was talking about something so important but she was busy thinking about trivial things and to be more precise, things that were none of her business. He had had his fill of Avery and he was already tired. It was barely afternoon but he was tired already and this fatigue was only because of Avery. It needed to be an award presented to her to recognize her for her special ability of wearing out a man with only a few words. "What I do is none of your business, Avery. What you should be thinking about is how to go back there and clear out the chaos". He yelled at her. Aveey shook her head, she couldn't believe that she had spent minutes just looking at Davide. This was the man she had seen before, she had seen him her, she had seen him cower away in fear, she had seen him helpless even confessing his love for her. She used to find him so disgusting and terrible to the eys but now it was kike he was a whole different person. She

Davide and Mr Lee decided to check on the designers. The car ride had been silent, upon the discovery they just made considering Avery and even Mr Lee himself, one would believe they would be talking non stop about it but surprisingly, they weren't.They were both silent. Keeping their thoughts in, wondering if the other would like to talk. "How do you feel?" Mr Lee broke the silence, "you've been quiet, it makes me anxious".Davide chuckled, "I'm just thinking about what happened"."You have a suspect in mind" it wasn't a question, it was more of a declaration because it was the truth. These past few days, Mr Lee could say that he knew Davide to a extent and he knew that Davide had been thinking about this since Avery had said itFor Davide to have been told that he knew who the person was, his thoughts had not been able to settle, the erraticness of his heart was what shut his mouth up. He could not voice how he was feeling, where was hurting or would he come up with what to do abo

Cassie and Avery were no doubt excited about this. Seeing that Avery knew a lot about fashion and knew a lot of designers, Cassie decided that in this secret mission of theirs, Avery was going to be her assistant."I think it'll help tremendously if we were to leave the country". Avery said.Cassie, Davide and Mr Lee looked at her in confusion. They couldn't understand how this would help, they couldn't see it from her point of view.Avery recognized the confusion in them and only smiled before further explaining: "I know Cassie would be the last person they would think to search, but she will still be on the list, they know you guys are together and that Cassie is obviously on your side. So the best way to ensure that they don't find out about this, is to do this in another country".Davide nodded his head, "you're right," he said. "Leaving the country is a good pla

Mr Lee sounded so broken as he talked about his father. When he had told Davide about his family, he never really went into details about anything, only sliding over the surface as he spoke about the things his parents had put him through. He didn't talk about the punches, about how he had to defend himself against them, about how he had felt to see the man he called his father, the man he was supposed to love, the man that was supposed to be his hero turn into his greatest adversary. He never spoke about how those punches destroyed him, he only talked about how his mother's words broke him acting like the effect of his father's actions had not in any way affected him when in actuality it had made him less of a person. He had lived with the trauma, he had received abuses, punches from people just because it felt natural. But he was an adult now and he knew nothing about fighting back. He could not fight back because he was broken, he had been made less by the most important person to

Davide's heart was beating against his chest violently like drums at a carnival as he waited impatiently for Avery to say what she wanted to say. He was anxious, he wondered if Avery was confident in her own answer, if she really believed that she knew the person.He figured that if she really does know who it was that had come for the gold, then he would know that person as well. Sure, Avery did know a lot of people that he didn't know but the list of suspects was reduced to the people that Avery knew who also knew Davide. This attack, this hate was only against him. It was too strong to be said that It was targeted at the people that were around Avery. This person was coming for Davide directly and so he must know them.A fear gripped his heart, he had known for a while now that the person who was plotting against him in such a way was an acquaintance or even a friend, but being met with facts that proved his deductions had been corr

It did not cross Avery's mind that that was a question she should be asking a perpetrator who was clothed in black clothes. She was, however, anxious and also very scared. The physique of the person was tiny, they looked short and for some reason very curvy.Avery kept scrutinizing the person as the two of them stayed in the same position, eyes focused on the other. Avery wss unrelenting, she was not going to back down, she had been trying her hardest to atone for her sins and now that it seemed she really didn't need atonement the least she could do was give back what she had taken. But this person was going to rob her of that chance.It was highly impossible that Avery was going to let them.The person's eyes darted around the room, possibly looking for an opportunity to escape, but it was unlike it seeing that the room was messy and the only way that they would be able to escape was to jump over heaps of clothes or maybe fly, and it was very impossible that the person could fly.Av

The car ride was silent. But it was mainly because they both just got in. Avery wanted to say a lot of things to him but they mostly just circled around the words: "Thank you".She didn't know where to begin, his eyes were on the road as he drove, she wondered if she was the only one feeling this way. It wasn't so hard to guess that he was just being nice, he just pitied her. Though she felt that maybe it was more than that, maybe there was something else but she couldn't really say. She didn't know how to start the conversation. She didn't know how to start telling him thank you.Mr Lee however was more nervous than she was. He was sweating in places he didn't think existed. His heart was beating very fast and he was surely in need of a conversation.He wanted to talk to her about what happened, however, he was worried that maybe she would get the wrong idea, it was mainly that he wanted to talk about when the depression started, when she started to feel like there was nothing holdin

Cassie had not been expecting that Davide would suddenly ask her that question and especially at a time that really wasn't conducive. They had just more or less had a slight misunderstanding, they were still regulating being a couple. This was the first relationship she had ever been in. And although for Davide it was different, he had even been married but this was all new to her.She had had flings in the past, she had had one night stands but never a relationship. She loved Davide, truthfully. She had always loved him and when he came back into her life, it had been an earth shattering effect on her. She did imagine how it would be like to get married to Davide but it was still so soon. It was too soon for her. "I know you might think that I'm crazy that I'm making a very hasty decision but if everything goes south with this then i want to have the experience of being married to you before I die" Cassie shook her head, "you're not going to die." She had wanted to deflect, probabl

I don't care," Avery said, "I don't care if I die, I have nothing, I have no one in this world anymore. I only bring pain so yes, let them exterminate me. I have lived a fulfilling life".Mr Lee's heart lurched at those words. He was the only one other than Avery who had ever found himself at that place in life where he couldn't bother himself to stay alive, the time where he had just left the hospital. Then it had dawned on him that his mother would prefer that he was dead. At that time, he actually wanted to die, he didn't know what he was staying alive for. His family didn't want him, life was too hard, nothing was going his way. He really wanted to die and get it over and done with.He related quite well with what Avery was feeling and he pitied her because he knew how hard it must've been on her to make that decision that she didn't care. She was being brave but also very suicidal. He recalled the conversation he had with Davide, looking at her, he could see the shadow of that wo

Cassie got serious, she adjusted in her car and then looked around to the people who were with her."An address came to my phone" she said, "it said I would find the person who tried to kill my mother there".Avery's heart skipped a beat. If she had been holding a glass of anything, that glass would've fallen down, scattered, never could it be glued together again.She didn't need a professor to let her know that those people had discarded her. Since she didn't have anybody they could threaten her with, now they wanted to do away with her. Avery wanted to laugh, she shook her head slightly, her mother left her, her daughter did and now even these people wanted to leave her. Avery felt like she was no different from a used tissue, once she had served her purpose, she was thrown away into a waste bin.This was the waste bin she had found herself. She was also kind of happy that they didn't try to kill her, rather they wanted someone else to send her to prison. "And of course I didn't
