Give 'Us' A Chance

CHAPTER 7

SCARLETT POV 

Who is your first priority? You or someone else.

Whom do you love the most or care about the most? You or someone else.

Have you ever been your own reason for your happiness? Or do you wait for that someone to make you happy?

When you dress do you dress to impress yourself or to impress that someone?

I don't know what's your answer but for me,

Others were my first priority once not me.  I regret it.

I had loved and cared someone more than it was necessary.  I regret it. 

I would wait for that someone to make me happy, I was rarely my own happiness.  I regret it.

I always used to dress for that someone not caring if I liked it or not.  I regret it.

But it's fine you know. I am fine now. Or... maybe just pretending to be. Whatever it is, life gave me a chance to change to make me realize how important it is for someone to not to lose yourself for anyone. Anyone. No, matter how special that someone is. 

But I still ask God sometimes why that was necessary to make me realize all this. It could have been a small lesson, anything but that. 

I am standing in front of my mirror looking at me, dressed only to make my heart fluster not anyone else. I don't even care for anyone. Look, you can complement your beauty, you can only love yourself. You don't need anyone, if anyone will love you it will only be an attraction towards your body not your soul.

Not so true, girl. 

It is the only truth!

This outfit totally justifies with my figure. Perfectly, tight around my every curve. This slit in my right leg, it's just mind blowing to be honest, showing my long, soft leg. Bare shoulders, hair in a perfect bun according to my dress, my dress is red in color. Red color is my favorite it's just make me feel bold, confident, fearless. My makeup is not so heavy but not also so light but perfect for my boldness, perfect for making me feel ethereal. 

It was my time to leave and pick Mr. Thomas. When I reached there, a few seconds later I got out of my car, with phone in my hand. This was a normal apartment, not judging just saying. He lives here, I wonder if he has any companion.

You know, I feel it's better to live with your loved ones in a small home and be happy rather than to live in a mansion like a ghost and pretending to be happy. But not everyone has same story, right.

So far, his performance in my office was great. Nothing to complain, everything done before deadline. I don't know why he had never worked somewhere, why only 1 year work experience at 27. I can clearly see how much potential he holds in himself; he is hard working but still needs to be figured out how good he can be with businesspeople for making deals, how good he can present himself as well as his presentation in a meeting. 

Before, the contracts end I would know it. I was only looking at my phone swiping left and right, if anyone see me like this, they surely will think I am busy doing some work in my phone but actually I am lost in my thoughts. 

Then, I felt someone presence, I looked up only to meet M-

The handsome!!!

You seriously need to stop, it's so unprofessional to even think like this. Well, Mr. Thomas. 

Not gonna lie but yeah, he looks good to go. 

Good to go???

Yeah.
