07:12am!

I stared at myself in the full length mirror in my room, my wine colored pencil skirt matched my white blouse.

My hair were neatly combed and packed up in a bun, my face was bare and free of makeup,,, though, it was still beautiful.

I reached for my lip gloss and applied a little of it, then smack my l-ips together to sheer it.

I reached for my heels and wore them, then reached for my hand bag on my dresser and smiled at my other self in the mirror, she looked so professional… she’s so full of confidence.

Yesterday’s sunday and it passed in a blur, I can’t even recalled what I did yesterday because I didn’t stepped out of my room.

I only came out to eat when they’ve both left…I didn’t wanna run into Vero and Brad, Brad especially, I feel so gross knowing I’m gonna marry him…I just don’t know how to intErΓ—Β’t with him now.

Like Vero said, I think I should really cross my heart and tell his parents I’m not gonna marry him…I sighed.

It’s Monday morning already, I was supposed to be getting ready for work, but….

My eyes moved to the resignation letter on the table, today is the day I’m supposed to start working at JJ construction, but unfortunately, it’s gonna be my last day.

Well, even though I’m gonna resign today, I’m gonna do with a lot of confidence!

I snatched the resignation letter from the table, shoved it in my bag and headed out, with a smile on my face.

“Oh, look who finally decided to come out of her cave” Vero scoffed teasingly.

She was resting on the wall next to my door, there’s a tray of food in her hands and it looked as if she’s been waiting out here for me.

“Good morning” I muffled gibberishly.

“Hey! Don’t give me that sh*t, I wasn’t the one who advised you to make such a foolish decision” she said.

I rolled my eyes and headed towards the dinning table, she followed behind me and dropped the food on the table.

“Here’s your breakfast, I woke up early to cook this so you won’t starve”

“Thank you” I told her and started eating.

She looked towards Brad’s room, I also glanced there and found out his door’s locked.. he must have gone out already, he knew he’s the main reason I didn’t step out of my room since yesterday.

Vero tapped the table to get my attention, I faced her.

“What?” I asked.

“About what I told you saturday night, have you given it a thought?”

I shoved a spoonful of rice in my mouth and nodded my head, I reached for a drumstick.

“So…. what’s your decision?” she asked.

I sighed.

“I’m not gonna tell his parents I don’t wanna marry him…” I trailed off.

She frowned, then opened her mouth to speak but I beat her to it.

“…I don’t think what Brad’s feeling for is love, it might be an obsession”

“Obsession?”

“Yeah…”

Maybe he knew his parents wants us to end up together, so he kinda let that grow in him…which made him think he loves me.

“…I’m gonna make him break off this engagement himself, I’m gonna make him see clearly that what he’s feeling for me isn’t love”

“Hm….are you sure?”

“I’m pretty sure”

“Oh”

“Yeah” I replied.

I pointed at the empty glass in front of me, she understood what I meant and poured some water on it…then handed it to me.

“Are you really gonna resign today?” she asked me as I drank the water.

Not wanting to say a word and choke on my water, I gave her a nod, she sighed.

“Honestly, I don’t see any reason for you to resign… it’s not a big deal that your boss hid his identity from you”

“It’s a big deal”

She stared at my face closely, reached out and felt my temperature, then shook her head.

“You’re just in love”

I rolled my eyeballs.

“Unfortunately, I’m in love with a married man, that’s why I must resign… don’t wanna be a home-wrecker”

She cackled, clapped her hands and banged on the table loudly, then pointed her finger at me.

“She just admit it, she’s resigning because she’s jealous!”

I glared at her, but didn’t say anything, I gave my wh0le attention to my food…but the little witch didn’t stop cackling.

“Hey! Can you keep quiet for five minutes…I’m tryna eat here!” I snapped at her.

It’s as if I just added fuel to it, she continued cackling, even louder than before.

I simply glared at her, but couldn’t do anything. I had no choice, but to ignore her and eat my food.

She can laugh all she can.

Authoress Racheal’s pov β˜ƒοΈπŸŽ„

*Charging completed, battery fully charged!* the automated system reported.

Jayden patiently waited until the charging booth opened, he stepped out and watched it close slowly, then he entered his password and made sure it’s perfectly locked.

He reached for his jacket, hanging on a coat stand.

At that moment, Kelvin rushed in, with Jayden’s phone ringing in his hands.

“Mr Grassi, your daughter has been calling, would you like to talk to her?”

Jayden turned quickly, he snatched the phone from Kelvin with a wide smile on his face. He stared at the screen and saw his daughter’s name glaring at him….It’s a video call.

“Quick, get my briefcase, I’ll talk to her on the way” he said.

“Yes, sir” Kelvin replied and rushed out.

He quickly swiped right, then waited a second and his daughter’s face popped up…she smiled into the camera and waved excitedly at him.

“Good morning, Daddy!” she exclaimed loudly, her voice was very lively and full of energy.

Jayden smiled at her, he blew her a k-ss which she caught and stamped on her right cheek.

“Good morning, princess, how are ya feeling today?” he asked her.

“I’m sick” she replied.

Jayden paused, he squinted his eyes and studied her face, he tapped at her cheek on the screen.

“Are you sure you’re sick?”

“Yes, I’ve been under my blanket since last night”

“Last night?” she nodded. “Aren’t you supposed to be under your blanket at night?”

“Yeah, I know.. but I’ve been coughing and…”

She cut herself off and started coughing, as if she’s trying to prove her point, but Jayden can see through her act.. though he didn’t laugh.

“Alright, so have your mom taken you to the hospital yet? For check ups and stuff?” he asked.

He knew what she’s gonna say yet, after all she’s been using this trick on him everytime.

“Yeah”

“So what did the doctor said?” he asked again, sniffling a laugh.

She pouted her l-ips, rested her head on her hand and released a long sigh.. she made it sound as if she’s suffering from a very deadly disease.

“Daddy, I’m writing my will right now, he said I don’t have much time”

She slowly reached for a pen, coughed a few times and raised the pen to make sure Jayden sees it…then she blocked the camera with her palm.

After a few moments, she unblocked it and coughed, then spat some red liquid on the table.

She gasped and pointed at it, she showed Jayden the red liquid and Jayden burst into laughter.

“Daddy, I’m dying” she said.

“Are you sure you’re an eight years old?” Jayden asked her, then continued laughing.

“It’s not a joke, daddy, be serious” she scolded and glared at him.

Jayden nodded quickly.

“Oh, I’m sorry, princess, please carry on” he said.

He slapped himself slightly and sobered up, though it’s still obvious he’s trying hΓ¦rd not to laugh.

She began taking deep breaths, like someone who’s about to take their last breath.

“I know you’re gonna miss me when I’m gone, that’s why I ask the doctor how much time I have left…” she trailed off and began coughing again.

Jayden walked into the living room, he turned off the tv and headed out.

He approached his car, Kelvin was already holding out the door, so he slide in.

“….he said I have very little time left, he said I might not make it to Christmas if cautions isn’t taken”

“Oh, so…what exactly did the doctor said you’re suffering from?” he asked.

She sighed.

“He said it’s depression, he said I should spend Christmas with you or I’m gonna die”

Jayden laughed, she also joined in the laugh this time, the sound of har laughter made Jayden feel so blissful.

“Don’t worry, my princess, I’ll try talking to your mom and get her to bring you over for Christmas… is that ok?”

She shook her head.

“No, daddy, I’m gonna ask you that…is that ok?” she asked him.

Jayden twisted his mouth and tilted his head, she mirrored his expression and burst into laughter.

“Daddy, I don’t think mom’s gonna listen to you” she said.

“Don’t worry, princess, I have my ways… I can just kidnap you if she doesn’t agree”

She laughed at her father’s words. “You say this everytime”

There’s a brief silence, Jayden frowned when he noticed his daughter’s surrounding.

“What’s your mom doing?”

“She’s playing games with her friends, they’re talking about huge d**ks”

“What?!” he exclaimed.

A frown appeared on his face, he clenched his jaw and balled his left fist that was resting on his lap.

“They’re talking about huge d**ks, so I sneaker here to call you and….” she repeated.

Jayden tuned her out, he narrowed eyes, her words ringing in his head. *What is Matilda teaching this girl?* he grumbled under his breath.

“What did you say, daddy?” she asked.

“Nothing, I want you to do something for me, princess”

“Yeah, what?”

“Steer clear from mom anytime she’s with her friends.. ok?”

She nodded, but frowned.

“Daddy, are you and mom gonna make up?”

Jayden folded his l-ips in his mouth, he nipped on his lower lip gently not knowing how to reply her.

His mind flashed back to the day he and Matilda got divorced, he begged her to stay but she didn’t.. she’s already left before he even got home.

Thinking about it made his eyes watered, he blinked a few times to hold back his tears.

“Daddy?”

“Yeah”

“Are you and mom gonna make up?” she asked again.

“I don’t know princess. I don’t know if your mom’s gonna forgive me, she’s mad at me”

“Then you can just tell her you’re sorry and she’s gonna forgive you, I do it everytime and it works”

He chuckled lightly. “If only it was that simple” he said.

She looked behind her, then k-ssed her screen and drew Jayden a love sign.

“I have to go, mom’s calling me to go to school… I’ll call you another time” she said.

“Alright, princess, don’t let those naughty boys lie to you ok?”

“Yes, daddy… byeeeee, muah, I love you!”

“I love you more, my Bambi” he replied.

She smiled at him once more, then hanged up.

Kelvin looked through the rearview mirror, he cleared his throat when he realized he’s (Jayden’s) done talking to his daughter.

“Mr Grassi, report from the office”

“What is it?” Jayden asked.

“Pearl called, she said Miss Maldonado just arrived at the company, she’s heading towards your office” he said.

Jayden checked his wrist watch, he realized it’s already 07:56am.

“Should we still head to the hospital, or straight to the office instead?”

“Office” Jayden replied.

He shoved his phone in his pocket and reached for his laptop, he opened it and turned it on.

His daughter’s face popped up on the screen, her words replayed in his head and he frowned deeply.

“Right, Kelvin, contact barrister Mark, tell him to come see me tomorrow morning”

“Yes, sir”

“Good… step on it”

He told Kelvin, implying he (Kelvin) should increase his speed…
