'Then I noticed her stare, she was looking at me while licking her ice cream. She's so nerve-racking!'
Austin Grant and Rica Melissa Davis both shared the same work space but they have never met each other. It was one unexpected moment that made the...
As I went inside the building, I noticed everyone was looking at me. This has scared me a lot but I managed to go inside Tee's office.
When I came inside Tee's office found him talking with Donna.

I breathed out, hoping this is not something that puts our careers at stake.
She noticed I came then she gave me a smile. "You must be Rica, Austin's girlfriend. I've heard a lot of things about you. No worries, I am really good at keeping secrets." she said then winked at me.

She faced at Tee and said "And... You, apparently, are not!" Austin just smiled to this.

As a woman, there is something that Austin will never see but I can. And that was another woman was hurt because me and Austin we're together.

When everyone in the office knew about my relationship with Rica, the next days with her in the building was never that easy. We had to see if there's someone checking at us when we're together and to be always cautious.
"Austin Grant, I need to speak with you." called Oliver, Donna's brother and the president of UMI.

"Sure, shall we go ahead to my office?" I offered. "No, I need to speak with you privately." he said.

Now I know what this is about. How did I forget Oliver is Donna's brother?!
"Surely you know what this is about Grant." he started.
We sat together while he sat on his office chair beside his desk. "I hope you haven't forgotten why are in that position."

"Can you be direct to the point Oliver?" I told him immediately. "Okay, Donna-she's not in a good state. She has been hurt when she heard about you and your girlfriend. She missed a lot of important meetings from our clients and has locked herself in her room for a few days now." This is childish how could she do that?!
"I'm sure my father told you about being engaged with Donna when you acccepted that position." I became so enraged with what Oliver said.
"DID YOU JUST SAY ENGAGED?!" I saw his shocked face as I started. "Listen Oliver, before your father retired, all he said to me was to take care of Donna. Sure I did since I knew you and Donna ever since we were kids, but engagement?! Your father never mentioned anything to me! This must have been a mistake!"
I did not wait to hear another word from him and I got out of his office as quickly as I could.
