Eunice’s POV
“Ahhhh!! He is so romantic! Yiieeee! Hahaha! ” That night, Ensley vociferated.
“Hey, stop it sis! You are too loud.” I said with a shy smile. We are like glass with each other, no secrets hiding and always transparent.
“What did you respond with his proposal?” She is so excited her face sparks like a million light bulb lighting.
“Hmmmm… I… said yes!” wearing a brilliant smile, I answered.
“Aaaaahhhhh! Hoooooo! I cannot take it anymore sis! I’m so happy for you! You have a boyfriend now. We’re gonna celebrate!” I held her mouth shut so she wouldn’t make noises anymore.
“Shut it now. I’m so embarrassed.”
“Don’t worry, nobody will hear us except for the four corner of our room.” She said.
“I will tell dad that we are officially boyfriend and girlfriend. You know what? I’m so happy I got a chance to know him. He is unexplainably awesome!”
“Yes, he is like a prince charming, so handsome and perfect! If I will be his girlfriend, I will totally make him my husband!”
“Yeah. He is as good as a hubby material. Anyways, how are you and your recent boyfriend?” I asked her.
“You mean which one, Derrick, Kevin or Taz? I broke up with Anthon yesterday.”
“Well, I will not be shocked to hear that. Why do you keep on playing with guys? Aren’t you afraid of karma? You do not take love seriously.”
“I don’t care about karma whatsoever! Tomorrow, I will sleep on Derrick’s house. Just tell dad that I will be making project on my classmate’s house.”
“When will you stop this? I don’t know why I always cover your mess up to dad. My conscience is eating me.” I said with a sad tone. It’s not the first time that she slept with a guy but I really can’t get used to it.
“That’s why I love you sis. I always have your back!” She grinned and turns around to sleep.
“Yeah… No matter what you do, I always spoil you because that’s how much I love you.” I smiled at her back and closed my eyes.
-----ooOoo-----
“Ehheeeeemmmmm… Miss E, do you have any other question?” One of the Human Resource officers asked me.
“You are hired. You can start your work tomorrow.” I said facing Will Blues. I shook hands with him, stood up from the chair and got out of the interview hall.
“Thank you Ma’am.” He said.
“Everyone in this company should call me Miss E.”
(Broken all the pieces I’ve been shaping lately
Focused on the things that didn’t make no sense
Guess that growing up was never meant to be easy
Yeah, I got used to doing everything sideways
Didn’t really care about how anyone felt
Hiding my emotions down in different ashtrays…
Oh, but what is lost ain’t gone
No, you can’t just let go
‘Cause it’s a part of you that will make you strong
Embrace your flaws…
I’m not gonna fight back what I’ve become
Yeah, I got bruises where I came from
But I wouldn’t change if I could restart
I ain’t gonna hide this beautiful scars
I’ve been going way too hard on myself
Guess that it’s the reason that I’m feeling like hell
But I wouldn’t change if I could restart
I ain’t gonna hide this beautiful scars.)
I am waiting for the elevator when he approached. He stood near me and smiled.
“Miss E, how are you? I barely recognize you. I haven’t seen you for a while. You look good in your outfit.” At the same time, we heard the sound of the elevator open.
My secretary stepped forward to cut him from talking to me but I waved my hand to halt her. I took off my earphones and look at him in the eyes.
“It’s been a while. How did you come here in America?” I asked him expressionlessly. I saw my secretary’s mouth hanging open and her eyes protuberant with shock. She may be wondering of whom this grey eyed guy for me to waste my precious time and words.
“I came to look for a job. Thankfully you are here or maybe I wouldn’t get anything today.” He said happily.
“Let me make it clear with you. I hired you because you are capable with the position I assigned you on.” I nodded on Ann and walked out of the elevator.
“I tried to warn you but you didn’t take it. You must be careful next time when you face Miss E now that you have pissed her off. She is very strict when it comes to work. She doesn’t give a damn to anybody whether she knows them or not and as your CEO, you put yourself together and think how you must treat her with respect. I will stay here and let you attend all the seminars and orientations you needed. Let you familiarize the system of our company.” Ann said.
“Whoa! Is she really Eunice Frunt? She is way too different from the person I knew eight years ago!”
“Man! I don’t know about your story but she is definitely not the one you wanted to offend.” Their conversation did not escape my sharp ears. The corner of my lips curved upward in satisfaction. I turned on my earphones and put on my sunglasses.
(I went down a road that only got me nowhere
I’ve seen every corner, every inch of this place
Being all alone it really got me thinking
Maybe overthinking…
That what is lost ain’t gone
No, you can’t just let go
‘Cause it’s a part of you that will make you strong
Embrace your flaws…
I’m not gonna fight back what I’ve become
Yeah, I got bruises where I came from
But I wouldn’t change if I could restart
I ain’t gonna hide this beautiful scars
I’ve been going way too hard on myself
Guess that it’s the reason that I’m feeling like hell
But I wouldn’t change if I could restart
I ain’t gonna hide this beautiful scars.)
As I sit inside my Lamborghini sports car, I can’t help but think of those events…the cause of my beautiful scars until my phone rang.
