No one wants to get called "serial killer" or "sociopath". But, you can't called someone's guilty as an "angel" as well. We know nobody is perfect. But, do you ever love someone so much but love is also the reason why you got destroyed and crushed into thousand pieces?

"Babe." Jack said as he hugged his girlfriend that sleeps next to him. "Morning, Jacky." You said. You wrapped your arms around him and rest your head on his chest.
"I'm so happy that I get to see your face everyday." Jack kissed your head as he's playing with the end of your hair. "Me too. But, I wish that we can get married soon?"
"Stop. Don't ever mention bout that, okay?"
You and Jack have been together for 3 years and live together at Jack's condominium. Eventhough both of you, still a couple but moving in can be the best or the worst decision a couple ever decide.
"Okay. I'm sorry."
Jack gently pushed you away and get up from the bed. "I'm going to take the shower first." As he left you alone, his phone screen lights up. You try to reach the phone that's on the table. He manage to take the phone first after he walks out of the bathroom.
"Babe. I can't pick you up after work today." He said after he looked at the text. "It's fine. I can ask my friend to send me home." You forced a smile. You never feel suspicious but today, he looks weird as of he's hiding something from you.
"Thank you. I love you." He gives a quick kiss before leaving. You quickly get changed and go to work.
You had your typical running marathon in the morning because you nornally take bus to get to your work place. Once you get into the bus, you always out of the breath due to being in hurry.
"Shit. Sorry." You said as you bumped into a guy, that's currently standing in the bus. "It's okay." He said. You didn't want to look up because Jack could be anywhere. You don't usually tell Jack where do you go or with whom you go with but he always know.
"So, you're late, huh?"
You know that voice. It comes from the guy that you just bumped into. "Not really. Well, I'm afraid that the bus going to leave me and I've to wait for another bus." You said, still not giving him any eye contact. "Oh, yeah. You're right but, it's crazy how you can run in those heels." He said.
"It took years for me to master this. But, worth it." You said. You can hear that he's chuckling and "Girls love high heels." You nodded. The bus stops and you quickly get out of the bus. "Hey!!! Your bracelet!" You heard someone said that but you decide to ignore it.
You finally sitting in your room. It's a cold morning but pretty warm as everyone at the workplace seems in a good mood and greet you. You're the CEO of the H&H company after your dad retired. You hear a knock on the door and letting anyone it's to get it as the door is unlocked.
"How's your morning, sweetie?" You look up and see Jonah is sitting at the guest chair. "Good. But, why are you here?" He smiled at you and gives you a letter. "I got offer to T3 company and I'm going to resign. I already made up my mind and I hope you're okay with that.... Aren't you?" You finally lost another good employee in your company but you can't let him stay while he already decides to leave.
"I'm happy to hear that. You're the best one that I could ever asked for and you're a hard working man, J. I'm glad you get a new job offer... Good luck! I wish you the best." You said.
You offer a handshake and he accept it. "Thank you. I thought thar you're going to hate me." He said. You give him a warm smile and hug him once he stands up. "I'm not. I've no right to make a decision for you."
You start to feel stress as you need to find new worker for Jonah's position. But, its not that easy and you decide to have a interview session a week later with new employees.
"Good morning and hello, Miss Hartley." The whole week you wear that "boss yet bitchy" look but you're kinda weird there this guy that is chill as fuck and doesn't look scared. "Hello. So, tell me about yourself."
"I'm Corbyn Besson. I just got graduated from Standford University in Business Studies. I came from a middle class family and I've 2 younger sisters that's still in highschool and 1 younger brother that's currently in college. I'm the oldest one in the family. My mum was a finance but resigned at the age of 56. I really want to be accepted because this is my dream place to work and I'm happy to work with you as you're one of the best CEO in NY..."
"Thank you for today. We'll contact you once we made the decision to hire you as our new employee." You smile at him and "Thank you so much." You're looking through his resume and he's actually a smart kid but got rejected due to his lack of experience. "Do you think you can hire this guy? I mean he's cute and all but it's all bout how good he's at working.... " Your business partner said. Your business partner is your best friend and her name is Julie.
"You're right but why don't we try? He can convinced me and I think this position is perfect for him."
