" Finally!" Eden exclaimed and told Anthony to leave them alone and Declan phone begin to ring and excuse and left the room. After they left Eden turned his attention to the doctor." Please, hurry check her up doctor, don't know what happened to her? she just passed out," Eden said with a hint of worry in his voice.The doctor nodded and he placed his bag on the table and pulled out a stethoscope."Let's see what's going on," he said, his voice calm and reassuring. He gently placed the cold stethoscope against my chest, listening to my heartbeat. His brows furrowed in conce
Out of the blue, my name echoed from behind. I spun around to find Lara navigating her way through the labyrinth of cubicles in my direction.Her face was set in a stern expression, her eyebrows knitted together in a way that hinted at an impending reprimand. My heart plummeted. I never intended to be late, but the one day I was, it didn't escape attention."Lara," I acknowledged, striving to maintain an even tone. "Good morning."She folded her arms across her torso, "Morning? It's nearly time for lunch. Would you care to justify your late coming?"I gulped, "I... hit the snooze button one too many times. I apologize, it won't recur."Lara exhaled, "Ensure that it doesn't. Timeliness is crucial in this workspace."With that, she pivoted and was about to depart when she added, "Oh, and by the way," Lara turned back to face me, "Mr. Eden has been inquiring about you. This is the twelfth time he's asked about you since morning. I've been making excuses for you."My eyes bulged in astoni
felt a wave of relief wash over me. It felt like I had just walked out of a lion's den alive, all my limbs still intact. I owed it all to Heather. If she hadn't shown up when she did, I would have been stuck in that basement with spiders and crawling insects. The mere thought sent shivers down my spine, and I shook my body to rid myself of the creepy feeling."What the hell was that? Would you like to explain it?" Heather's voice pulled me back from my thoughts. Her eyes were filled with confusion and concern, her brows furrowed in a frown.I turned to face her, taking a deep breath before responding. "I'll explain everything, but I don't think it's safe to talk here. Shall we go get a coffee together?" I suggested, hoping to steer the conversation to a more private setting.Heather nodded in agreement, and together, we walked out of the building and headed towards a nearby coffee shop. We made our way to a quaint little coffee shop tucked away in a quiet corner of the building. The s
Suddenly, the office door swung open again, breaking the intense silence. Two figures stepped in, their silhouettes stark against the bright light from the hallway. One of them, I recognized immediately - it was Heather." Madam, please you don't have a appointment with Mr Eden and without appointment you can't meet him," the man behind her said." Oh, please don't try to stop me. I am not here to make a scene. I just came here to support my friend at her new job," She said to the man behind her.She looked between Eden and me, her eyes wide with surprise. The other figure, a man I didn't recognize, stood a few steps behind her, his expression unreadable.The butterflies in my stomach stilled, replaced by a sinking feeling. Eden's grip on my arm loosened and he jerked back, as if he'd been burned. He turned to look at Heather, his eyes widening in surprise. A spark lit up his eyes, a contrast to the cold gaze he'd held just moments ago.Heather, oblivious to the tension that had filled
The elevator doors slid open on the sixteenth floor, and as I stepped out, my eyes were immediately drawn to Eden's assistant. He was in tears for some unknown reason, and the people around him were offering him napkins and water in an attempt to console him.I quickly flagged down a girl who was passing by. "What happened to him? Why is he crying?" I asked, my gaze shifting between her and Arden's assistant.The girl looked at me, her eyes filled with sympathy. "Mr. Eden fired him," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.The news hit me like a ton of bricks. Eden had fired his assistant? But why? As I stood there, trying to process the information, It didn't take me long to figure out why. Eden's assistant had spotted me standing there. He stormed across the corridor towards me, his face a mask of fury. He was livid, and he didn't hesitate to vent his frustration on me."Because of you, I got fired!" he spat out, his voice echoing in the catching everyone attention in the corridor
Suddenly, the door swung open, interrupting the tense silence. Another female voice filled the room, "Madam Victoria, I apologize for the interruption, but Mr. Arden wishes to see you urgently," she announced."Urgently? Did something happen?" Victoria's voice was laced with concern."I'm not sure, Madam Victoria. Mr. Eden simply instructed me to inform you that he needs to see you immediately," the woman replied."Alright, let him know I'll be right there," Victoria responded. As her footsteps receded, I found myself holding my breath, praying fervently that I wouldn't be discovered in this compromising situation. The room fell silent once again, the only sound being the pounding of my heart in my ears. Thankfully, Victoria paused for a moment before finally exiting the office, leaving me alone in the room that had just been the stage for such a tense encounter. I let out a sigh of relief, my heart still pounding in my chest. I knew I had to leave before she returned. , I crawled out
As I waited for Lara, I noticed a woman rushing down the corridor towards me. She was juggling a file in one hand and a phone in the other, her conversation sounding urgent. As she neared, she spotted me and waved me over.As I stood alone in the corridor, a wave. She paused and asked the me. "Excuse me,who are you? And what are you doing here?"The woman looked at me, a hint of surprise in her eyes. "Oh, I'm sorry. I should have introduced myself. I'm the new junior designer," I explained, in tone apologetic.She then held out the file towards me again. "Okay, I need you to take this file to Madam Victoria. It's urgent," she said, her voice laced with urgency. I hesitated"What are you waiting for? It's urgent," she said, thrusting the file towards me.I hesitated, glancing back at the door Lara had disappeared through. Lara had explicitly told me to stay put. But the woman in front of me seemed desperate, "I...uh...Lara told me to wait here," I stammered, unsure of what to do.The w
Let me go! I need to talk to Eden!" I raise my voice but my pleas fell deaf on his ears and I struggled to free myself from his grip but my struggle ended when Arden said," Let her go, Jonathan,"Jonathan's grip on my arm loosened instantly at Eden's command. His face turned a shade paler, his eyes wide with surprise. "But Mr Eden," he stammered, turning to look at the man who had just intervened.Eden stood at the chair, his expression unreadable. "You heard her, Jonathan. Let her go," he repeated, his voice calm but firm.Jonathan released me immediately, stepping back as if my arm had suddenly turned into a hot iron rod. I rubbed my arm, the imprint of his fingers still visible on my skin."Don't even think about laying a hand on me again," I warned Jonathan, my voice resonating with newfound strength. A wave of anger surged within me, stoking the fires of my resolve.Eden's eyes met mine, an unspoken understanding passing between us. "I believe this meeting has come to a close," he
The next morningStepping into the restroom, I took a moment to check my reflection in the full-length mirror. The woman staring back at me was relaxed and approachable. My eyes were alert and my mind rested. My shoulder-length hair was pulled back in a casual ponytail, revealing small, simple earrings. Dressed in a comfortable pair of jeans, a soft, blue striped shirt, and white sneakers, I looked every bit the modern, casual professional.Perhaps the casual attire was a departure from the norm, but I wanted to make Heather and Robin believe that I can't work with Arden nor I want too.I found myself on the sixteen floor of FLEXXI clutching a folder so tightly that my hands were shaking. The folder contained my resume, cover letter, two pens, my sketchbook, and a cheesy motivational quote stuck into my head. My anxiety peaked during the two hours I spent alone in the empty lobby. I had intentionally arrived early, expecting Eden to be punctual. But he was held up in a meeting, and I w
