"Anna can you leave?"

I could see Anna was hurt by what I said.

"Nicolle... Justin has a new girlfriend..." Anna said slowly.

For the past few days I've felt nothing, nothing at all. I was numb. But right now, I feel as if a knife was cutting through my heart, it feels so painful.

I felt a tear roll down my cheek.

I hugged Anna and cried for the next three hours.

"Hello?"

"Is this Ms. Nicolle Millions?"  a man said.

"Yes, why?"

"I would like to inform you that you have been accepted to the job you applied as hotel manager"

"Oh really? Thank you" I said half heartedly.

I'm not really excited about getting a new job. I just wanted a better pay and also to start a new life somewhere else.

"You'll have training for a week then you'll fly to Nassau in the Bahamas and officially start your job"

I expected a job at a hotel somewhere in New York, not in another island-paradise. Not a place like Boracay. Not in a place where I would be constantly reminded of our memories together. 

My first week at my job was hell. I was wonderful at my job but I was like a robot, programmed to do the tasks with no emotion. I've learned to adapt myself and slowly I've gotten used to how things go.

I would wake up at six and have coffee and breakfast. Then my driver would pick me up at seven and I would arrive just in time to work at the hotel. It is like that everyday except Wednesdays and Sundays.

My life is simple.
