《Mirror Soul》 Chapter 2 Independency Chapter 2 Independency Kendra turned 18 years old. She was in third year college. Although she had some few friends at school but still she preferred to be alone. Kendra''s world was only school and home. One day afternoon, the phone rang. " Hello, who is this?", Kendra answered. " Is this Kendra?" Hi, this is Daniel. I got your number from a friend. Can we be friends? ", Daniel said on the phone. Kendra was so suprised. She could not imagine that the voice of the guy on the phone was so handsome as she could not exin as well the connection she had for him. " Sure, it is my firstime to have a friend on phone", she smiled. As they continued to be friends on the phone, they became so close and both totally enjoyed talking each other thatsted till they went to sleep. "What kind of song is that?", she giggled. " A song for you thatst forever", Daniel said. "Where did you get that line?", sheughed out loud. They continued talking on the phone almost everday until both fell asleep. Three months had passed, both decided to meet in person. She suddenly asked herself, " I liked him a lot. He makes meugh. I truly love talking with Daniel. What if his face looks like theces of my shoes? What is the feeling when i meet him in person? Does it feel the same? Kendra was so ignorant when it came into rtionship or feelings because she herself had not experienced how it truly felt like. She never felt it to her parents and she grew up feeling alone, sad and weak. She never felt true joy at home as she only saw her parents fightings,and drama. " Hello, Kendra I am going to your house now to meet you in person. I brought some pizza. Atst, I can see and touch you in person", Daniel said. "I am so excited to see you", Kendra said. The night time came.. " Kendra, I am here now at the front gate of your vige", Daniel said. " I aming. Just wait me there for a few minutes", Kendra said. The two met in person. " Oh my god, I never expect that you look so handsome and thank you for the pizza", Kendra said. " I also wanted to give you this a rose , bracelet and picture of mine so that you wont forget me at all", Daniel said. " It is so lovely. You are so sweet Daniel." Kendra said. Daniel got to close his face to Kendras face. Both lips were too close and kiss each other. While Kendra kissing Daniel, she felt nothing. She felt just kissing a brother or friend. Kendra asked herself, "Why is it like that? I could not feel anything while kissing him. I should feel happy and enjoy kissing him but i never felt anything to him".This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org. She agreed to be in a rtionship with Daniel eventhough she never had true feelings for him. They kept their rtionship as they could. " Who is that guy?" Kendra''s father angrily asked. " He is just a friend father." Kendra said " I dont believe you. You must break up with him as soon as possible", Kendras father said. Kendra just ignored her father. She continued having a secret rtionship with Daniel. 6 monthster... "Kendra I wanted to break up with you", Daniel said. "What is wrong?Why are you breaking up with me?", Kendra said. "It is just i got a lot of problems facing right now and I needed a space", Daniel said. "I dont believe in you. Is there someone other than me?," Kendra asked "No, there is no one. You have been a good girlfriend for me. I am sorry."Daniel said. "Dont call me ever again." Kendra said angrily. She hanged up the phone after that. Kendra was feeling bad for the break up. She didnt have true feelings for him but she could not understand also why she felt bad. She grew up being conceited seeing the world as bad it was. She forgot Daniel easily. She just focused on her studies. She spent her time studying seriously than hanging out with her ssmates. Daniel kept calling to Kendra but then she never listened to Daniel anymore and hanging up whenever Daniel called. One afternoon, Kendra''s mother came to her and said " Kendra, me and your father cannot able to pay your tuition fee anymore. You have to stop your college." When Kendra heard that to her mom, she was totally devastated as she could not ept that she stopped her college. Kendra did not take that. Kendra got mad at her parents but she could not do anything about it just to ept things so Kendra decided to be independent and start looking for a job. "I have dreams. I have to finish my college no matter what it takes. I got to find ways to get a job so that I can pay my tuition fee in college." Kendra said to herself. Eventhough her parents were too controlling and strict, Kendra decided to be independent." I will never ever depend to my parents ever again and i have to take actions right now. I will finish my college with an award. My parents will be proud of me." Kendra said to herself. Chapter 3 Job Interview Chapter 3 Job Interview "Hey Kendra , how are you doing? Where are you going? You look that you are going to apply a job, arent you? Kendras neighbor asked. " Yes, I think it is a right time for me to look for a job".Kendra said. "Oh, why dont you apply as a teacher in ournguage center?"Kendra''s neighbor suggested. "That is a great idea. Yes, I want to apply. Where is thatnguage center located?" Kendra asked.

It was her first time to do things on her own without her parents control. "I would never let my parents to control my life again. Im not going to depend on them from this very moment up to the end of my life. I promise to myself." Kendra said to herself. Kendra was stepping now into a real world. The world she never even had any idea where it would bring her. Her journey had started from this. It was because of her dreams, goals and ambitions to finish her college. She never felt any fear but a start of her learning experience in all aspects of her life. "Next please..Ms. Kendra your turn for interview." staff said. "Me, oh okay!" Kendra said. " Hi, I am Ms. Brook the manager of this restaurant. How do you see yourself after 10 years?, interviewer asked. " ......"Kendra didnt answer the interviewer. She was speechless. She had no confidence to express herself. " Hello, if you are going to stay like this, you will see yourself in a dump area. You may go." Ms. Brook said. Kendra already expected that she failed in her first job interview. She never forgot what the interviewer said to her. She had to learn more about herself especially on her confidence but even she did not understand why she could not express herself well to the interviewer. She was totally shocked to herself. "What is wrong with me?I have to get a job." Kendra said to herself. N?velDrama.Org is the owner. Kendra remembered her neighborhood''s suggestion to apply in a Language Center. "Oh i must go there now,"Kendra said to herself. " Wait, Kendra where are you going?. Your grandfather is in the hospital. You have to go to the hospital now." Kendras mother insist. Kendra went to the hospital directly instead to thenguage center the she supposed to go. " How are you grandpa?" Kendra asked. Her grandfather hardly moved. He had a stroke. His body was paralized. " Ke...end...ra," Kendras granpa tried to say something until her grandfather fell asleep as well as Kendra. The next morning... " Kendra, wake up! you may go home to rest more,alright?" Kendra''s grandmother said. On her way home, she saw a big building with anguage center written on it. "Oh,oh!...driver, could you please pull over? kendra said to the taxi driver. Inside the building, "Next please..Ms. Kendra," staff said. " Yes, I am Kendra." Kendra said. "You will have your interview in 3 minutes with Mr. Jong so be ready" , staff said.

Mr. Jong smiled and said.."Okay, you may but be sure to be here in the afternoon." " Thank you," Kendra said. After that interview, she felt so good as she was so excited to start her job. " This is what i have been waiting for," Kendra said to herself. Chapter 4 Mr. Mysterious Guy Chapter 4 Mr. Mysterious Guy Kendra was so excited on her new job.

"I am sorry, Did i scare you? By the way, I am Larry one of the student in the center." Larry said. "Oh, a student you are. What are you doing in this vige?Dont tell me that you are one of my neighbor?," Kendra said. "I guess so", Larry said. Both smiled at each other. Larry was 1 year older than Kendra. Kendra was so naive. For her, Larry was just a student. "I think this is my way. Anyways, Bye Larry see you at the center. Good night!," Kendra said. " Yes, Ms. Kendra see you tomorrow!" Larry said. Kendra''s mother was waiting in front of the house. "What time is it now? Its sry day, right?I am waiting you to give your share to us for this month.

There was a sound of ball dribbling on the floor then Kendra was surprised. "Larry,?Is that you?How long you have been here?I did not see you here around."Kendra said. "Yes, because you were focused on the other guy."Larry said. "Oh..you mean my brother?"Kendra said. "Your brother?"Larry wondered. "Yes, I was talking about my brother.

"Okay, then asked permission to my dad." Kendra said. "Why dont you instead of me?"Larry asked. "Okay then bye."Kendra said. Larry still followed him up to Kendra''s house. " What is the time now?"Kendra''s father asked. "Oh, Dad this isrry. He wants to say something."Kendra said. Larry could not do anything just to ask permission to Kendra''s father to go out tomorrow. " Can i ask your daughter to go out tomorrow?" Larry said. "Where are you guys going tomorrow?Kendra''s father asked. "I wanted to invite your daughter for a lunch at the mall near here.Is it okay sir?"Larry said. "Just be sure to go home early and bring her home safely,okay?" Kendra''s father said. "Yes, sure sir. Thank you." Larry said. The next day, their first serious date together happened. Larry fetched Kendra. " Shall we? After you" Larry excitedly said. Kendra went inside the cab together withrry. They were both red in the face and held each others hand. Kendra felt something as she could not feel from her first boyfriend Daniel. "What is this feeling? Oh..Love can be developed through days together as we started friends before then now we are in realtionship. Building a strong foundation all started as good frienship? Is this true love?." Kendra wondered asking herself. Chapter 6 Big Issue Chapter 6 Big Issue When the door of Kendra''s room opened, Kendra was so suprised, Larry suddenly showed up and kissed her passionately and Larry silently closed the door. "I think you better change your teacher today."Kendra said while continously kissing Larry. "Ah..ha.."Larry responded. Larry touched Kendra''s breast as he opened the button of Kendra''s shirt buttons slowly. Larry kissed her lips hardly down to her neck then to her breast. Kendra was moaning silently then she suddenly backed to her conscious mind. She put Larry''s hands off her immediately. "What''s wrong Kendra?" Larry asked. "I can''t do this. This is not right Larry. We are inside of my ss room. I am working now. You better go out and change your ss." Kendra demanded. "Okay,see you after your ss. I will be waiting you outside. We are going home together." Larry smiled. sses were ended. While Kendra was walking in the lobby of the center. Students were all looking at her differently and talking about her. Days went by, students knew about Kendra and Larry rtionship. The next day, Kendra was standing in front of the bulletin board staring at her ss schedule and noticing that she got only two left students. In her ss, "Do you have any idea my student what is happening that I only got 2 students left?" Kendra asked her student. "Teacher, most of the students never like was your rtionship with your own student Larry." Kendra''s student exined. "What about me and Larry?What is the big deal?" Kendra asked the student. "Students dont and to see teacher having a rtionship with student. I like you teacher. For me, you are the best teacher I have ever had in the center so I never quit your ss". Kendra''s student said. "Thank you my student. I appreciated of what you have said to me so much but it is my personal life. You can''t choose to feel whom you wanted to be in rtionship with. I asked Larry to change his ss. People dont have rights to judge me. I only followed my heart." Kendra exined to her student. "That''s why I really reallly like you teacher. Besides, most of your students attending your ss are all men. I guess they are being jealous seeing you having a rtionship with Larry." Kendra''s student laughed. Both wereughing while having a conversation. "Oh, yah. Perhaps." Kendra said. "Forget about them teacher."Kendra student said. "Anyways, where you off to after this ss?"Kendra asked. "Just going home after ss. Why?"Kendra''s student wondered. "Let''s go to the canteen after then I am going to buy you an ice cream. It''s my treat."Kendra happily said. "Oh, Wow..okay okay..Really? I am so excited about the Ice cream. Let''s finish our ss so fast." Kendra''s student excitedly said. At the canteen, students could not stop looking at Kendra and kept talking about her while she was buying an ice cream for both of them. "Hey, stop looking at my teacher Kendra like that and never talk about her again. Do you guys understand that? It is her personal life! Why do you guys bothered so much?" Kendra''s student angrily said. " My student ignore them. Here is your ice cream. I bought your favorite one."Kendra smilingly said. "Thank you teacher. I guess you better go home now so that you can rest."Kendra''s student said. "Okay, my student leave you here now. See you tomorrow."Kendra said. "Yes, teacher see you tomorrow. Bye! Rest well." Kendra''s student said. Kendra could not expect that her work would be so affected of just having a rtionship with Larry. The next morning, Kendra was called at the office. The rumors spreaded so fast as she could not imagine. "Kendra, your students left you because of the rtionship you have with your own student Larry." Mr. Jong said. "Yes, I know about it. Please give me a chance to find ways to bring my students back in my ss. I will find ways to have students again just for one more week."Kendra insisted. "I am afraid you can''t being your students back again to your ss. You better find anothernguage center to work with. This will be yourst day. Mr. Jong said. Kendra was shocked as you couldn''t ept what Mr. Jong said. This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. "You cant fire me easily without any written exnation. It is my own personal life. How could you fire an employee easily without giving him/ her warnings or suspensions? It is not right. We havebor code to be followed. You are being so unreasonable, Mr. Jong." Kendra angrily said. "I am the owner of thisnguage center. You cant do anything just to leave this center today. Do your hear me?" Mr. Jong raised his voice up to Kendra. "Before firing an emoloyee, you have to give him/her a verbal warning, then written exnation then go to termination. I cant believe you do this easily withou hearing me out or even just listening to my exnation. You are so unreasonable Mr. Jong." Kendra angrily said. "Whatever you say! Pack your things and leave this center today."Mr. Jong madly said. Kendra mmed the door while getting out of the Mr. Jong'' s office. Kendra could not do anything just to leave the center and find another job. She needed a job for her college tuition fee as she still prioritized it than anything else. She dreamed to finish her college. She never gave up. No one could ever stop her. " I should not give up. I have to be strong. There are alot ofnguage center around not only this center. My college next semester enrollment ising soon. I have to do something." Kendra said to herself. Chapter 7 Request is granted Chapter 7 Request is granted Kendra never stopped looking for another job. Atst, she got hired. It was totally different than the previous one. Thenguge center was more organized and generous. Students were mostly kids so Kendra enjoyed so much working on her newnguage center. She worked full time but after 6 months her next semester ss was about to start. "How much I save right now? Let me check..Hmmm..10,000..20,000..Is it enough for my tuition fee this semester?" Kendra happily asked herself. Kendra went to her university to ask how much would be her tuition this semester and paid after. Kendra stopped for 1 year to work and save up money for her college. She continued working while studying at the same time for saving up more for her next semester unti she finished her college. At the office of hernguage center, Kendra knocked the door and talked to the head teacher. "Yes, Kendra. Have a seat?What can I do for you?" Mrs. Jones asked. "Mrs. Jones, I would like to ask a permission to work here in the morning only than whole day." Kendra said. "May I know the reason why you wanted to work for partime now?"Mrs. Jones asked. "I wanted to continue my studies in College. I enrolled yesterday and my semester was about to start soon. I decided to just work here in the morning only then in the afternoon studying."Kendra said. " I am happy that you still think to continue your college. We are going to support you with that. Your request is granted. You may still work here only in the morning if you wanted to and the afternoon you may go to your university." Mrs. Jones smilingly replied. "Thank you so much Mrs. Jones for your kindness. Can i start it on Monday nextweek?." Kendra happily asked. "Yes, sure no problem. Is that all?." Mrs. Jones asked. "Yes, thats all. Thank you. Good day Mrs. Jones."Kendra said. " Good day Kendra." Mrs. Jones said. After that conversation with Mrs. Jones, Kendra left the office. Kendra was so excited to start studying again. She was smiling while walking through her ss room. "Teacher, what a big smile is that! Who makes you happy today?"students teasingly asked. "It is not who my student but what make me happy today?.."Kendraughingly said. "Oh what is that teacher? tell me."student wondered. " I am going back to my university again next week. I am going to college." Kendra excietedly said. "What about me teacher?Are you going to leave?" student sadly asked. This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. "Oh no no I am not going to leave. I wont be able to teach in the afternoon so i may cancel my afternoon ss."Kendra said. "I am studying with you in the afternoon.What about that?" student sadly said. "Yes, but you can transfer your schedule in the morning. how about that?" Kendra said. "Okay, I will do my best to change my ss schedule before weekendes."student said. " I am sorry my student but teacher has to go back college. It is one of my dream to finish it."Kendra exined. "Yes teacher I understand. I am so happy that you are going to study again to your university."student happily said. "Thank you for your understanding my student so lets finish our ss then."Kendra said. Chapter 8 First day at the University Chapter 8 First day at the University The bell rang, all students went out on their ss room for their lunch. Kendra happily locked her room door. She went back home first to eat her lunch and change clothes. Kendra''s university was about 15 minutes of walking from her house. She was in a hurry to go to her university. It was her first day. At the Universirty, "Ahhh.. I miss my university so much. It is still clean and big. Finally, this is a start towards my dream to finish it. After this semester, I still have 1 year to go and i cant wait for my graduation. I can do it!"Kendra said to herself. Kendra was so determined and persistent. No one could ever stop her to finish her college. For her, having a degree was so important at least she could be proud of somehow in her life. She was working and studying at the same time. She was motivated and full of enthusiast. "I will study hard and have a medal when i go up on stage for my graduation. I wanted to see my parents be proud of me." Kendra said to herself. At the lobby, "Hi Kendra, its been a long time. It is Era remember? what are you doing there sitting alone. Come and join us there." Era said. "Is that you Era?You look so different. I could not even recognize you. I am fine here. Thank you. My boyfriend will be here in a minute."Kendra said. "You have boyfriend?Who is he?" Era suprisingly asked. "Yes, but he is not studying here. He will be here to bring some of my stuffs. I was in a hurry this morning and i forgot to bring it. Oh there he is..."Kendra said.

" What is thisrry?"Kendra wondered. "Open it." Larry smilingly said. Kendra opened it and she was so suprise of what she receive from Larry. "A cellphone?" Kendra suprisingly asked. "Yes, Dont you like it? you need it. I wanted you to have a personal cell phone just for me and you."Larry said. "I have my cellphone and it is still working. You should not buy for a new one."Kendra said. "But it is old. You have to change it. At least this new one is more convenient for you. I can call you anytime i want without cutting line and hearing your voice clearly." Larry exined. "Okay..thank you Larry."Kendra said. The bell was ringing.. The ss was starting.. Larry kissed a goodbye to Kendra. "Fetch youter after your ss baby.."Larry said. Inside the ssroom... "Ms. Kendra, you are 2 minuteste. Its your first day. You should be in the ss on time." Professor said. "Oh, sorry professor. I am going be on time promise." Kendra said. " Never mind the professor he needs only attention."Era said. The professor was so old. He put out his mic so that the whole ss can easily hear him. Kendra was starting to get sleepy while listening to his professor. She did not know that she slept in her ss. "Ms. Kendra!!!!!" professor called her name loudly many times. Kendra suddenly awoke and stood up. " Yes professor." she said. All of her ssmatesughed out loud... The professor gave her a very difficult question. She was not prepared at all. She could not answer it. She felt so embarrassed that she slept in the ss on her first day. " I will never forget you Ms. Kendra. You may sit down. Dont forget to study today. Since Ms Kendra slept during my ss expect to have a test tomorrow. Be sure all of you understand the lesson i exined. Understood? Professor said. The bell rang, students were stillughing to the Professor and Kendra. "Are you okay Kendra?"Era asked. " Yes I am.

Our professor is totally boring and his voice truly made us feel so sleepy."Era said. "Yes how could he still work at his age?He should be at home rxing and enjoying his life not working. Our professor is so hard working. His voice was too small so soft to hear and listen that made me to fall asleep." Kendra smilingly said. " Truth..."Era said and others keptughing.

"Go ahead order more."Kendra excitedly said. Kendra ate a lot of foods that served on the table. She suddenly though of something out of nowhere. "One day, I will put up my own restaurant and it will be known around the world. It is gonna be great if I am going to start to put up first a coffee shop. What do you think?" Kendra excitedly exined. "That is gonna be a great idea. Who will be your first customer?" Larry asked. "Of course, you! if you would still be my boyfriend in that time some days in the future." Kendra laughingly said. "What do you think?"Larry asked. "Well, I dont know! Some say that there is no foerever in this world but i believe in forever. There will be no perfect rtionship because there is no perfect at all in everything exist on Earth but if you only believe that all things work out, it will always be no matter what." Kendra seriously exined. "Wow, that is so deep." Larry amazingly said. "Really? Oh, it is my firstime to exin it well so deep in front of you. Have we have same thoughts? Kendra asked. "I dont know exactly. Its just i am happy whenever i see you. Do we need to exin and understand everything we feel about on something or to someone?" Larry asked. "No no..We dont need to exin all things happening about on something or to someone not unless you have done something awful especially to me."Kendra teasingly said. "Hahaha..no not at all."Larryughingly said. Kendra suddenly wondered if Larry was the one for her a love of her life, who truly meant for her. She could not exin well how she felt for Larry. She also could not be so sure if Larry was the one she truly love. "I am so full now. I cant eat other foods."Kendra said. "We have to eat all of these. You ordered these all so it means that you eat it all."Larry said. " I dont like it anymore. I am so full. We can take this out."Kendra said. "Waiter, bill out. Could we take these foods out please?" Larry said. After a few minutes... "Here is your bill and your take out." Waiter said. "What its 1000$?" Larry suprisingly said. "Why is it so expensive?"Kendra shockingly asked. " I dont know. I never even looked at the prices when we ordered foods."Larry said. "I am sorry Larry i also didnt look at the prices too when I ordered. I have some cash here. We can share 50/50." Kendra smilingly offered. "No, Its okay. I can pay just keep it."Larry said. "No..no..its all right. I can share. I still have some cash here. dont worry. Its Its my extra money. I never touch my savings."Kendra said. "I said no Kendra, I will pay."Larry insistently said. "Its allright.. I know you dont have much money there."Kendra said. "Why are you so stubborn?My goodness i said i can pay all."Larry angrily said. "Why are you getting angry?I only wanted to share and I am your girlfriend. I think there is no problem with that."Kendra frowny said. "You dont understand Kendra. You are not man thats why you wont understand."Larry angrily said. "What do I need to understand?You dont need to pay it all if you cant really."Kendra angrily said. "I am a Man. I am taking you out and it is my responsibility to pay all the bills. It is my pride."Larry angrily said. "What pride you are talking about? You cant pay it all so I wanted to share." Kendra said. " I said No! keep it!..I am going to use my card." Larry angrily said. "It s up to you!." Kendra angrily said. " Waiter, just use my card please." Larry said. "I am going home now. See you tomorrow."Kendra said. "What a..!!! hey, are you going to leave me here?Whats wrong with you?"Larry angrily said. "What is wrong with you?" Kendra angrily said. Kendra stood up then walked out the table. Kendra left Larry alone the table. She was walking alone the street in the dark. Larry followed her after he took his card to the waiter. "Why are you like that?Why did you walk out?" Larry angrily said. " I am so annoyed with you. Is not obvious?I just cant understand that pride you have as a Man."Kendra angrily exined. Both were raising their voices on the street. "Okay, you take cab. I will take mine." Larry said. "Yeah. Better not to talk for a week. I will call you whenever. Bye.." Kendra angrily said. Kendra took a cab alone and left Larry on the street. Chapter 10 Runaway Chapter 10 Runaway Larry kept calling Kendra the next day but Kendra did not answer it. Kendra made herself busy for her to forget Larry. At the university, "Hi, Kendra are you going home now?" Era asked. "Yes, I am going home. Why you asked?" Kendra wondered. "Oh, nothing! Just wondering that your boyfriend is not fetching you today." Era wonderedly asked. "My boyfriend is very busy today. He could not bring me home." Kendra said. "Anyway, you have time ?Come and join us to have a small snack before going home." Era asked. "Oh, thank you. I am full. I should be going. I still have to wake up in the morning for my ss. See you tomorrow." Kendra said. "Okay, See you then tomorrow.Bye!" Era said. Kendra took a cab alone. The cab stop infront of her house. Larry was standing infront of Kendra''s house. "Driver, Could you please pull over since we are here?"Kendra said. "Yes, Maam." taxi driver said. Kendra went out of the taxi then she saw Larry standing in front of her house. "Can we talk Kendra?" Larry asked. "What are you doing here this time?" Kendra asked. "I wanted to talk to you. I cant be feeling this way for days. Let us not fight Kendra. That was not a big dealst night."Larry said. "It was not that big deal but you were the one who first raised your voicest night. I was trying to help you out. It was just your ego as a man more important than how would I feel? I could not understand that."Kendra said. "Look, I know I made a mistake thats why I am here to apologize. I am sorry aboutst night."Larry said "Okay, your apology epted. I am going inside now. Lets get inside."Kendra said. "Yes, its better to get inside than here talking outside." Larry said. "Its sote night. People are sleeping now. You better be quiet, okay?" Kendra said. Larry suddenly kissed Kendra. He started to be aggresive and wild. He kissed Kendras lips down to her neck and kendra was carried away. Both were kissing each other. "How could you be so fast like that Larry?" Kendraughingly said. "I am so into you thats why."Larry said. Both continued kissing each other. Larry took Kendras clothes and both went to the dark room. Larry kissed Kendras breast and Kendra was moaning quietly then suddenly Kendra pushed Larry a bit away from her. "Stop!" Kendra suddenly said "Yes, what happened?" Larry said. "I think you should go now Larry."Kendra said. "What is wrong Kendra?" Larry asked. " I have to go to my work so early tomorrow. It is toote now. You better leave now before other people wake up."Kendra said. "Why you bothered alot? Are you scared or something?"Larry asked. "No, its just maybe not this time and I have to go to bed now. I still have to wake up in the morning. You dont have work thats why you can be awake anytime you want."Kendra exined. "I have ss tomorrow too so early." Larry said. "Larry please, go home now. I am working student. I dont rest. I work and study at the same time. I hope you understand that." Kendra said. "Okay, I will go to your university tomorrow to fetch you. Just wait me there?" Larry asked. "Okay, call me then after my ss. Bring me home." Kendra said. Both kissed each others goodbye for that night. Kendra locked the door and she went upstairs to her room to sleep. She could not sleep. She kept thinking about how she felt for Larry. She wondered and asked herself how much she felt something for Larry. She didnt even know how could she exin it to herself. She felt no excitement at all. There was something a fear inside her as she could not even exin what was it until she got to sleep. The next morning, "Oh, my god! I am gonna bete."Kendra said to herself. "Hey, Kendra we have to talk."Kendra''s mother said. "I have no time now. Can we talkter?"Kendra said. "You have to pay for other bills here.

"I need to go now mother. I have no time. Lets talkter."Kendra said. "I said you cant leave the house, are you not listening? Give me your wallet now." Kendra''s mother insisted. "I have no money here I told you. I havent received my sry yet." Kendra said. "Give me your payroll slip! I dont believe you.You have to pay the bills now.Why cant you get it?" Kendra''s mother angrily said. "I have to go now i said. I still have to work."Kendra said. Kendra''s mother pulled her hair to stop getting out of the door. Kendra''s mother took Kendras wallet to take her money. "I thought you dont have money, what is this?" Kendra''s mother angrily said. "Dont take it mother its for my exam fee for tomorrow at my university."Kendra criedly said. "What the..you can take promissory note, dont you think of that? It can wait but the bills here in the house cant wait. You dont have head. Use your head, Kendra nextime okay?" Kendra''s mother said. Kendra continously cried then her mother left her at the living room. Kendra called thenguage school that she could not go to work that day. She asked for a week leave. She did not also go to the university. She packed her stuffs. She left her house and runaway. Kendra didn''t know where to go. She kept crying still while walking on the street.

Chapter 11 New Place Chapter 11 New ce Kendra woke up thinking to just live independently away from her parents permanently. She drank water and stretched her body. Larry was still sleeping. She started cooking their breakfast. She felt free and happy for the firstime in her life. " Larry, wake up!Dont you have ss today?"Kendra asked. "Hmm..I am still sleepy. What time is it now?

Feel at home."Larry said and kissed Kendra on her cheek. Larry left the boarding house rushing. Kendra was thinking what to do while she was at the boarding house. She started to clean their room. The boarding house was so quiet. Kendra turned on the sound of her celphone to have at least music around. She was taking a shower after cleaning their room and suddenly the water of the shower had stopped. "Oh my God, Whatta! No water." Kendra said to herself. Kendra rushingly went downstairs. Kendra suprisingly saw thendy. "Hello, You are thendy. right?" Kendra asked. "Yes, How can I help you? Landy asked. "I was in the middle of my showering and the water on my shower has stopped." Kendra exined "Ahh..yes, let me check and fix it if i can."Landy said The Landy checked the shower and tried to fix it. "I think it is fine now."Landy exined. "Really? Oh thank you. I can finish taking a bathe now."Kendra happily said. "The handle is too loosen. You just need to tighten this up so that the water on the shower goes down. Anyways, it is fixed now. You dont need to worry about. Anything else?" Landy asked. "Oh no more, thank you for your help." Kendra said. " I better get going now. I still have to fetch my children at school. I will leave you here."Landy said. Kendra left alone at the boarding house. She finished showering and cleaning their room. She suddenly slept while reading a book. She was sleeping like a log. " Hey, Kendra..Kendra!"Larry woke her up. "Larry you are here now. I fell asleep. Did you have your dinner?"Kendra asked. "No not yet because we are going out for dinner." Larry said. "I dont want to go out now. Can you just buy dinner for us?" Kendra asked. "Okay..Wait for me here. What do you want to eat?" Larry asked. "Anything just be sure it is delicious or else I wont be eating that."Kendraughingly said. An hourter, both were eating dinner together Larry asked Kendra''s n. "What is your n now?Larry asked.

"Are they not looking for you?I think they are worried alot because you left the house without their permission." Larry said. "Its okay Larry. I just dont want to go back there anymore. Maybe nextweek, i will start to find my new apartment near at my university."Kendra said. The next morning, Kendra was surprised when she saw her father talking to Larry. "Is Kendra here, Larry?" Kendra''s father asked. "Yes. She is here. You want to talk to her."Larry said. "No, I dont want to bother her. I asked you to take care of her. She needs time and space. I understand that. Anyway, I got to go now. I only wanted to know if she is fine. I am relieved. Thank you for taking good care of my daughter." Kendra''s father said. Larry went inside of the boarding house while going upstairs she saw Kendra standing. "How did my father find me here?"Kendra wonderedly asked. "I dont know. He is father. Maybe he never stopped searching you until she found you."Larry exined "Oh really? Maybe you said where I am staying." Kendra teasingly said. "No, I never. Anyway, when are you going to be back to work again and go to university?" Larry wonderedly asked. "Next week?" Kendra said. "So we have more time to .. you know.."Larry teasingly said. "What do you mean?" Kendra asked. " I kept asking myself if you truly love me." Larry said. " Of course I love you."Kendra said. "But you cant even give your whole body to me. There is a man need that you have to give."Larry exined. "Is that a measure of love for you?Sex?"Kendra asked. "I dont mean like that. Its just you dont feel it." Larry said. " Of course i can feel that but i dont know. Maybe there are a lot of things on my te right now and if you truly love me you can wait."Kendra said. " How long will I wait?"Larry asked. "Do we need to discuss this matter?"Kendra asked. "Oh yes it should be discussed."Larry said. "Okay, the truth is..I am not ready for sex. I am still studying. I wanted to finish my college first.I am scared that I might get pregnant as I am still a student like you."Kendra exined. Kendra did not want to take a risk. She herself was not ready. She felt it. She needed to finish her college and had a great life before thinking of that matter and get pregnant. Kendra did not even know what true love for her but she felt deep down in her heart sadness, scared, and no excitement at all. She didnt even know if the problem was with her or to Larry. The feelings she had for Larry was not as true happy as she supposed to be. "Okay lets not talk about it. I understand."Larry said. "I dont know Larry what Love for you truly is..but for me If you truly love me you can wait until I am ready and respect my decision."Kendra exined. "Are you questioning my love for you?"Larry said. "No, I am just saying."Kendra said. "Anyway, Never mind."Larry said. Larry left Kendra and went upstairs to their room.

"No, You wont go to your ss today at your university. We have to fix this issue."Larry demandly said. "We dont have any issue. You are only paranoid.What do you want to hear? I already exined to you what I needed to.I am not ready as I said. I am scared to get pregnant. I am still a student as well as you are. What is gonna be our life together when things happen unexpectedly?Will you take it seriously?Are you sure you are ready for a huge responsibility if ever?Kendra angrily said. "You dont trust me."Larry said. "Its not just I dont trust you. Its not I am not ready. I am still starting on my life being independent. I am not used to it. I am learning it. A lot of things to be considered. dont you even think in advance?"Kendra said. "Kendra its just you and me. Remember?You have to believe in me."Larry said. "Lets not talk about it. I have to go."

You have your phone with you right?" Larry said. " Okay fine..Lets go now."Kendra said. Kendra was totally disappointed with Larry. Though she knew to herself that Larry got a point but she could not even know how to say it well to Larry about how she truly felt. Kendra was not that so in love with him after she saw the other side of Larry. She started to question Larry again and again on her mind. Kendra could not understand herself well. She was too focus on her determination to finish her university and had a good life. She never prioritized well Larry''s feelings. She was too serious of her life as she only wanted to strive for the future. While on their way to the university, Kendra saw a convenient store and bought a drink. "Here is your change." Male staff smiling said. "Thank you."Kendra smiling said. "You are going to school now?" Male staff smilimg asked. " Excuse me, I am her boyfriend. Dont you see me Man?" Larry angrily said. "Larry, stop being paranoid. You are too much jealously and insecurities."Kendra said. " I dont want any guys to be touched and close with you Kendra."Larry said. " Hey, stop raising your voice. We are at the convenient store. Are you not ashamed? Dont fight with the male staff?"Kendra said. " I am sorry. We have to go now."Kendra said. Kendra pulled Larry out of the convenient store. "Nextime dont smile back when any guy ask like that to you."Larry said. "Are you fighting with me again?" Kendra said. "No.. I am just exining and reminding you that I am your boyfriend."Larry angrily said. "I understand but please stop being paranoid. Anyway, here we are now at the university.You can go home."Kendra said. " I will fetch youter and wait for my call."Larry said. Kendra was feeling no good for starting to be tight by Larry. She could not understand him at all. "Bye!" Kendra said and walked away from Larry. Chapter 13 Larrys Mom Phoned Chapter 13 Larry''s Mom Phoned "Hows the ss Kendra?"Era asked. "It was amazing."Kendra smilingly said. "Amazing with an old boring professor? How do you like his subject?" Era asked. "I guess you missed out the new professor of this ss."Kendra teasingly said. "No way!" Eraughingly said. "Yes, the old boring professor you were saying, he resigned then now we got our new professor. He is more younger, adorable and his way of teaching is totally amazing."Kendra smilingly said.

"What is it? Kendra wonderedly asked. "I will be leaving nextweek heading to Australia. My semester is about to start soon."Larry said. "You didn''t tell me about this ahead of time but then its okay. Go and do whatever you want." Kendra said. "Its not what I want. You knew that I am here to study for my entrance exam in my college in Australia."Larry said. "Yes I remembered that thats why I said to go and do whatever you want."Kendra said. "I will be vacationing here in your country every semester ends. Are you okay with the long distance rtionship?" Larry asked. "I dont know how it would feel like but I am on it."Kendra said. "Seriously?"Larry smilingly asked. "This will test you what truly love is for you."Kendra teasingly said. "Whatever!" Larry said. "Can we just change the subject? " Kendra asked. "What subject you want to talk about?"Larry said. "Oh lets talk about me moving nextweek. Lets think what and where is the good ce to move."Kendra said. "Near my boarding house?"Larry suggested. "Lets check some apartments near my university."Kendra said. Larry''s phone was ringing...Unexpectedly, Larry changed his face and shocked. "Larry what happened?Are you all right?"Kendra asked. "My mother just said on the phone that my father is now in the hospital. My father is seriously ill. She asked me to go and fly home tomorrow. I need to go."Larry sadly said. "That is so surprising. I am sorry to hear that to you. You jusy go and fly home tomorrow. Your mom needs you."Kendra said. "What about you?Are you gonna be fine?"Larry asked. "Yes I am. dont worry. I can do it alone looking for my new ce. Most important is you fly home and be with your family."Kendra said. "I will be sending you messages. We exchange e mails. Okay?"Larry said. "Okay."Kendra said. At the Boarding house.... "Have you booked your ticket for tomorrow? Let me help you to pack your things."Kendra said. "Yes, I did. My flight will be tomorrow night at 9pm. Will you bring me at the airport?"Larry asked. "Oh..I dont know if I could go with you to the airport. Let me check my schedule."Kendra said. "Thats fine. If you cant, dont bother."Larry said. The next day... "I will see you after 6 months perhaps."Larry said. "Can i hug you my boy friend?"Kendra smilingly said. Kendra hugged Larry tightly. "Can I kiss you my girl friend?"Larry smilingly said. Both kissed each other. Larry was totally sad leaving Kendra in that situation. Both didnt know what life lied ahead. Chapter 14 Break up Chapter 14 Break up 1 yearter, a long distance rtionship of Kendra with Larry had started to break down when Larry could not do anything just to let Kendra down. "Are you breaking up with me?"Kendra asked. "No, it is not like that I mean I hope you could understand me as I ever wanted to keep our rtionship for so long but it could not turn out that way it should be as I wanted to."Larry said. "Why is that?What is truly a problem?" Kendra criedly asked. "There is no problem at all. It is just I cant go there to see you. My father cut my allowance off. I am in the bad situation with my boss here at work. Everything to me is falling apart."Larry sadly exined. "Look, that is your problem! you always include our rtionship with your work and family problem."Kendra angrily said. "Do you think I like what is happening to our rtionship? I just cant keep it at all. I am so feeling down at the moment."Larry said. "No, you dont get me. I understand that you are feeling down at the moment because of your bad situation you are having right now but its not an excuse to involve our rtionship with this. I am not buying your exnation. I know there is some more reason why you wanted to end our rtionship like this."Kendra angrily said. "Why dont you understand me?I am having in a bad situation right now and It cant fix easily.Thinking that I cant go there easily. Its gonna be hard for me ...for both of us...as I also dont know when I can fly there to see you again.."Larry said. " I can wait for you not unless you are seeing someone else.."Kendra angrily said.N?velDrama.Org is the owner. "There is no someone else!" Larry said. "I dont believe you because if truly there is no one why we came up on this in the first ce and you would not rather to end up this rtionship easily like that."Kendra angrily said. "It is not easy for me.It is so hard and i dont want to endure keep thinking that you are waiting for me. Me, looking at those girls outside feeling that I wanted to go with them and feeling guilty."Larry said. " That is a true reason why you wanted to break up with me?so immature of you!I cant believe that.You are so unbelievable!"Kendra said. "What do you want me to do?"Larry said. "What I only know when you truly love someone you will be 100 percentmitted on him/her and you will sacrificepletely no matter what consequences or trial maye by along the way.." Kendra angrily said. "You dont know what true love is."Larry said. "Oh really, what about you mean of true love for you?"Kendra angrily said. "I am messed up. All right?I need some time to think more and for myself so i just let this rtionship end."Larry said. "Good bye Larry." Kendra angrily said. Kendra hanged up the phone angrily. She was crying a lot and hurt so much as she could not believe that there was another person turned her down again. She removed Larry on her system by throwing all the things that reminded Larry to her. "You wille back to me once again and I will never ever go back to you again."Kendra angrily said to herself. Kendra decided to move on and made herself more busier especially at work so that she could not remember Larry anymore and be gone forever in her life. Another year had passed with no communication with Larry and Kendrapletely moved on. Kendra saw her inbox with full of messages sent from Larry. Kendra ignored Larry then one day, Kendra''s celphone was ringing. "Hello" Kendra answered. "Hey, Kendra this is Larry. I messaged you a lot of times on your e mail but you never answered me. Look, I still love you and I have missed your family. Do you want to go to Australia? Let''s live in together." Larry happily said. "I dont love you anymore. You find a new woman there in Australia and get married."Kendra said and hanged up the phone.

"Are you okay Kendra?Sussy had finished her break. She smiled to Kendra and mentioned her that someone wanted her phone number. "Yes, I am good but about the phone number?I dont think, it would be a good idea." Kendra smilingly answered Sussy. "Why not?Oh, you never told me that you are in rtionship right now. How would I know? I thought you are single." Sussy just could not believed of what Kendra replied on her. "Rx, Sussy just I am not really ready for another rtionship.

Don''t you even see me that I already slept infront of your apartment to show that I am sincerely sorry forst night. Its morning, dont ruin your day just because you started to be irritated again." Tommy exining himself with a sincere apology to Kendra aboutst night. Kendra started to be calm and still could not understand Tommy Kesler''s gesture and action." Who told you to sleep infront of my apartment anyway? Why are you doing this? You are such an idiot."Kendra contionously wondering and wondering."Is not obvious? I like you Kendra. I really like you." Tommy started to be more closer to Kendra to say that he really liked Kendra. He started to be closer and closer to Kendra''s lips and when he attempted to kiss Kendra then Kendra suddenly said, " Will you not bring me to my work ce? Time is running so fast. I dont want to bete." Kendra seeing the cab passing by." So.. you are not angry with me anymore?" Tommy smilingly asked. "Yes, I am not angry anymore. Dont do that again showing up at the middle of the night from nowhere and suprise me like that.Okay?" Kendra seriously replied. "Really?You want me to bring me to your workce?You really make me super happy. Lets go then."Tommy saw a hope from Kendra and could not exin how happy he was when Kendra asked him to bring her to the workce. On the other hand, Kendra still wondering and asking herself if it is right or not. She felt that she was only giving Tommy Kesler a false hope and knew deep down to her heart that she never had any feelings for him. Kendra''s mind ying around and said. "Look at him, Tommy is very happy. Do you want to hurt him or not?"Kendra was so confused as she didnt know how to tell Tommy Kesler that she didnt have any feelings towards him. The cab had passed by. " What time is it now Tommy?" Kendra suddenly asked."It''s just 11am, why?" Tommy curiously asked." I feel starving. Are you not? I eat lunch first before I go to work. Anyways, my work starts at 2pm." Kendra smilingly asked to eat lunch first before bringing her to the workce. Kendra and Tommy looked for a ce to eat. Both took a cab. After an hour traveling, the cab driver pulled over and got out to the ce nearby Kendra''s work ce." Ohh.. this is the ce where you are working then." Tommy smilingly said to Kendra while looking around." Seriously?this is your firstime here?Please, dont pretend that you dont know this ce. I guess you knew this ce and following me wherever I go." Kendra said and tried to look Tommy Kesler''s reaction. Tommy suddenly changed the topic and asked Kendra the ce to eat." Where are we going to eat here? I am feeling hungry now. There is a mall here. Can you see that?Lets eat there." Tommy pointing his finger to the ce that both could eat lunch. Kendra could not wait Tommy to exin everything why he had to stalk her yesterday." Now, I knew it. You were the one yesterday followed me while walking here.Don''t deny it. You knew this ce. Am I right ?Why Tommy?"Kendra insistedly asked Tommy. "Okay, Kendra you got me! Can we just eat first?" Tommy brought Kendra to a fancy restaurant where there were wines and the tables covered with a gold white surrounded by nts around. Tommy grabbed Kendra''s hand to walk together with him up to the table."It is so expensive here. Are you really crazy Tommy?They serve only so tiny but very pricey. Are you sure?Kendra crazily exined to Tommy how expensive a restaurant he chose." It''s all right Kendra. I am gonna be the one to pay for it. Rx..okay! Just enjoy your lunch." Tommy started to call the waiter and ordered foods. After the waiter took orders and left the their tables. Kendra started again to ask." Why did you follow me yesterday?What was on your mind yesterday?"Kendra kept throwing questions again to Tommy. She started to feel ufortable. Tommy was still smiling at her then his phone rang. "Excuse me Kendra, I have to take this call." Tommy stood up and answered the phone. After a few minutes, Tommy went back to Kendra''s table. He was happily started talking to Kendra and asked."Shall we eat now?" Kendra was trying to understand Tommy Kesler. " Could you answer my questions?" The waiter started to fill the table with foods and drinks." Kendra stop worrying so much. I just followed you yesterday because I wanted to see for myself that you were really safe on your way toThis text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. your workce. You knew and I knew that this ce is not that safe. I didn''t mean to scare you. I was worried about you. You might think that I stalked you yesterday but that was not my intention at all." Tommy sincerely exined well to Kendra why he followed her yesterday. Kendra was still watching Tommy''s gesture and looks. On Kendra''s mind said, "Tommy is so handsome. I really like his lips. When he smiles, he is totally attractive and sexy but looks doesnt matter. His is so appealing and yet i never felt this special spark for him." Kendra suddenly looked down while chewing her food on her mouth. The waiter came to their table with a big stice shopping bag and gave it to Tommy Kesler. " Thank you. Here is your tip. Take it." Tommy Kesler gave the tip to the hand of waiter. The waiter bowed his head to Tommy said thank you and left their table. Tommy took the branded phone, big box of choctes, branded blouse and branded Gi bag. Tommy put everything on the table and gave it all to Kendra. Kendra''s eyes were really wide opened while chewing the food and swallowed it. She totally felt ufortable. She couldn''t feel the same way for Tommy. She wanted to do the right thing so what she did. She said her true feeling for Tommy."Tommy, if I take these all gifts of yours, it means I like you but I dont want to give you false hope. I am not ready for a serious rtionship. I am just starting to recover on my messed up life and I wanted to focus more on my career, dreams and goals. I am sorry Tommy. It is just not the right time." Tommy was so devastated when he heard that to Kendra. His eyes were tearful."Dont say that Kendra. Why dont you give me any chance? Dont say that again." Tommy frustratedly said. He was so hurt when Kendra said that." Tommy, you have to understand. I dont have any feelings for you. I did try but nothing. I dont want to lie to myself and to you. I dont want to live a lie. I dont deserve on the so called love you are showing to me right now." Kendra was so straightforward saying her true feeling for Tommy. Tommy''s eyes were starting to get red and he tried to stop not to be so emtional."Dont say that Kendra, it seems that this big mall building is copsing. My feelings for you is so real. You take these all. Anyway, I could not use that. It is all for woman and I am a man. " Tommy could not say anymore. His heart was so broken. Kendra could not understand Tommy at all." How could he say like that "big mall building is copsing" Is he crazy?" Kendra said to herself. Kendra''s mind still couldn''t believe Tommy''s drama lines.She felt nothing. She didnt even feel that she was so affected. She ignored Tommy''s words." I have to go now Tommy. I still have to go to work. Thank you for your lunch. I think this will be thestime we see each other. " Kendra suddenly stood up and left Tommy alone at the restaurant. Kendra went out the door of the restaurant continously walking up to the front door and exited the mall. While walking through the way to her workce. She felt again that someone was following her. She looked back and she saw Tommy Kesler." Stop following me Tommy please. I have no time for this."Kendra fastly walking so that Tommy would stop following her. Tommy stopped following Kendra and his tears started to fall down. His feeling for Kendra started to get mad so badly. He was getting so mad at Kendra. Tommy''s feelings shifted to bitterness."I swear that you Kendra rk will never be happy on the rtionship you may have on the time that you will know that you are ready. You will feel how I feel so broken and hurt right this moment. Men will never be so serious on you and you will be left alone suffering. I swear!... I swear!" Chapter 26 A Start of Darkness Journey Chapter 26 A Start of Darkness Journey Kendra fastly walking going to her workce. The sky started to be dark. A drop of water fell into Kendra''s hand. Kendra looked at the sky that had begun to rain. Kendra did look at her bag, " Where is my umbre? I put it here inside my bag. Oh no..I left it on my bed this morning.What am I going to do now?" She put her bag on top of her head and had no choice but to run so fast up to her workce. She finally came on the right time."Kendra, are you all right?" Teacher Jimmy opened the door and he saw Kendra gasping. "Yes, I am fine." Teacher Jimmy started to light up his cigarette and walked a little side so that Kendra could go inside."Kendra, go inside now, you might catch a cold. There is a towel in my locker. You may use it for now. Its a newundry." Teacher Jimmy smilingly said and winked. Kendra wasughing hardly."You are really a joker but I like your sense of humor. I will go inside and thank you for your concern." Kendra went inside and took Teacher Jimmy''s towel inside the locker. She went to the toilet to dry up herself. A strong voice came to her saying." Be always kind and have the courage, you will save from all the trials that life may bring to you."Kendra suddenly stopped on what she was doing and her hair on her hands stood up. The door of the toilet suddenly opened. "Oopps...sorry!I thought there is no one using the toilet."It was Teacher Jimmy rushingly wanted to go inside the toilet." Actually, I am done. Thank you for your towel. There is aundry shop downstairs. I may go there during my breaktime and washed and dried it up then return it to you after." Teacher Jimmy said, "Dont bother yourself. Just put it inside of my locker." Kendra still wanted to return it clean and dry, "I insist Teacher Jimmy. Anyways, it is really fun to doundry while eating." Kendraughingly exined to Teacher Jimmy. "Well, if you really insist I wont say no. Excuse me, Kendra..I cant endure it anymore. I really need to pee.Itsing now." Teacher Jimmy''s face was so destructed and shut the door." Oh..oopss Sorry, Teacher Jimmy." Kendra gigglingly said and left. Kendra started to work. Time was so fast. Kendra could not even see the time of her breaktime. Kendra spent her breaktime at the laundry shop for an hour. Inside the Laundry shop, there was a long chair. She sat there ate her foods while waiting for the towel to be washed inside the washing machine. The washing machine had stopped and Kendra took the towel to the drier machine. She began to yawn and took a nap. She started to dream and saw Tommy crying. Kendra saw how angry Tommy and telling to her something. She heard this in distinctive voice from nowehere when the drier machine rang so loud. She woke up easily as if it was truly happening but then after a second she realized it was just a dream. She stood up and went to the drier machine to take the towel."How much does it cost all?" Thedy was looking at her for a long time and wanted to say something."I saw you taking a nap a while ago. What you saw in your dream was true so dont ignore it." Kendra felt so weird about thedy and asked, " What do you mean?How did you know that I was dreaming when I took a nap?"Thedy was strangely looking at Kendra and did try to change the topic so that she wont be scared at all."Nothing, It is only 5$. Take this stic bag and you may leave. I still have customers. Myundry shop is so busy and no time for long conversation."Kendra really felt so strange to thedy. She felt that there was something that she didnt know. She just ignored it and left theundry shop. At her desk, she could not forget her dream. It was so real and clear that she saw Tommy. While staring at herputer, she remembered what had happened between she and Tommy. Kendra switched her mind and ignored everything had happened that day. She went to Teacher Jimmy''s table and left the cleaned and dried towel with a note "Thank you" from Kendra. Kendra went back to her station and started to make a call. The night wasing and Kendra still working that finished at 10 PM. Days went by. Months went by. 6 monthster, Kendra''s life started to crumble. The owner announced a very bad news. " This online academy will be shut down today. The business was not running so good for the past months and we needed to close the operation as of today."The teachers were so surprised of the announcement that the owner did."It is not fair. Why there are no notices before you close the business? You dont even think that we are all have family here. It is not fair to leave us all here with no job today." Teacher Jimmy imed the rights of the teachers."We do understand your im but even us cant do anything about it but dont worry teachers although you will be leaving this ce with no job today at the same time a fresh new start for all of you as thepany are willing topensate you at least 1,000 dors each of you."The owner apologized sincerely and exined well to the staffs on the decision he had to make instantly. Kendra could not say anything standing together with others and listening. It was a surprised for her but what she could do."I am so tired and I dont want to think of my situation right now." Teacher Marissa whisperly said while still looking at the owner." Can we do anything? None..As if we could! Its already night so there is no use toin thispany. No one could give time to listen." Kendra just replied with her low tone of voice. The teachers could not do anything only to ept the 1000$ and went home."It is okay at least we do have 1000$ than nothing to receive. A lot of jobs out there. It is always a good start." Teacher Jimmy said to others. Kendra did not agree to Teacher Jimmy." Maybe for you but for me. Oh.. Hell no! I am so tired of repeating scenario that all of the ces that I have been working for shut down easily after a few months of working. Do you think it is good? It is totally crazy." Kendra started to vent out what was inside of her heart." It is all right Kendra. You are not alone. Always look at the bright side. Things happen for a reason. Don''t you think so?" Teacher Marissa tried to calm down Kendra and made her realized that things were merely temporary. The sun would shine again to her."Let''s go home guys. Nothing will change if we all be affected on the sudden bad day we all had." Teacher Jimmy suggested and exined his opinion. All left the workce and gone home.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. Chapter 27 Following the Voice Chapter 27 Following the Voice Kendra left again with no job. "Why life is so hard and unfair? I have been so nice that I could possible be to the people around me especially to my parents and siblings. I only wanted to fulfill my dreams and goals and live with it. I thought life would be easy for me when I started to be independent. I thought I would be living happily, and freely." Kendra continued crying until she got tired and fell asleep. A strong voice from no where kept saying to Kendra "Be always kind and have the courage, it will save you from the trials that life will bring to you. Get up Kendra and walk around outside then you will find the solution of your problem." Kendra suddenly woke up,"Where is that voiceing?" She looked out around her room. She got out her bed and went to the bathroom. The water continued flowing so fast and she washed her face. She look at herself on the mirror. A strong voice again, as she clearly remembered what she heard. "Be always kind and have the courage, and I will save from the trials that life may bring me? Walk around outside and I may find the solution of my problem?"Kendra kept saying it to herself again and again. Her hair on her hands stood up. She literally did not even want to ignore the voice. She felt that there was something that she needed her to follow it, so she did follow the voice. She would still do her best to be always kind and have the courage for the sake of her own dreams and goals."I dont want to give up no matter what. I will just go with the flow of life and be flexible. There is nothing gonna happen in my life if I would only cry inside my room." Kendra rushingly prepared herself. She wore a ck business attire and tied her hair with determination and motivation. She took her folder with her resume inside, left her apartment and started to walk around the street. She walked so long and she began to get exhausted. She saw a convenient store. She went inside the store and bought something to eat."I wanted this and that.. I love sweets. Oh my God the bread that is my favorite." Kendra was having a happy moment on the foods she saw and took."Excuse me, Are you going to buy or not? If you are not going to buy then could you please move a little because I wanted to get something there. You are blocking my way." A tall, dark, handsome, with a mustache on his face wearing a long dark blue polo arrogantly popped up to Kendra''s face. When Kendra saw him, she pretendly smile and gave him way to get his item and started walking to the cashier."Arrogant pig!You are handsome but acting like a woman. Oh, Kendra.. He is not really my type." The man heard it and looked at Kendra, " Are you saying something?" Kendra looked at the man and saw the man looking at him with a serious face so she turned her eyes up," Hmmm.. No..I am not saying anything. I am just talking to myself." Kendra was at the cashier and took the change to the cashier boy. She left the convenient store fastly. She again started to walk around the convenient store while eating her favorite bread. She was so hungry to death. She walked more then saw a travel agency and with a post that needed a staff."I think today is my lucky day. Any job as long as it is decent and legal. My dream job and goals please forgive me as I have to set aside your for the mean time. I just needed this job right now so that I can survive and pay my bills!I cant believe this.. Is the posted job true? I cant even pronounce the name of the agency. What is this kind ofnguage?" Kendra ignored the name of the travel agency and push the ss door." Good Morning, How may I help you?" A driver named Eric, a very thin guy wearing a casual clothes asked Kendra what she wanted." I saw this post. I am looking for a job and I want to apply." Kendra had showed to Eric the post at the front door." Yes, you may apply but the owner is not yet here. My boss will be here after an hour. No one can interview you except my boss. Are you willing to wait?" Kendra looked at her watched. She didnt have any choice because she needed a job right away." YES! Ofcourse, I am willing to wait."Eric offered Kendra something to drink and showed her the office while waiting. Kendra''s phone was ringing, her mother was calling."Excuse me Eric, I have a call to take." Kendra went out of the Travel Agency and took the call."When will you send the money?We needed to pay the rent for this month. It is okay if you didnt want to go home but dont ignore your responsibilities here in the house. I sacrficed you to be borned on this world so you have a debt of gtatitude to me, remember that!" Kendra''s mother was still the same so controlling, impatient, unreasonable and demanding. If her mother could not get what she asked for, she definitely threw a lot of bad, negative, rude and judgemental words. Kendra''s ears were totally irritated. She didnt even expect that her simple act of kindness in the past by giving them a little of her sry would turn into an obligation. She was forced by her mother to pay for the rent of their house even if she was not living there anymore. She became a breadwinner. Kendra''s parents and siblings were too dependent to her. She didnt want problems to think so she just ignored it. Kendra learned to be more patient and be always kind to them as she remembered the strong voice told her that she has to be always kind and have a courage and it will save her from all the trials that life will bring to her." Dont get mad now, i will be sending the money tomorrow. I am only busy today." Kendra suddenly hanged up the phone and went inside of Travel Agency that she was applying for." There she is boss. I would like you to meet, Ms. Kendra. She is the one wanted to apply for the position." The tall men were standing in front of her, when Kendra looked at the 2 men in front of her, she was so surprised."Wait a sec, I think I know this woman. Where did I see you?" Kendra''s heart was beating so fast as she got recognized the guy in the convenient store."Sir, I think the one you saw is maybe same face of me but its my firstime to see you. We do have same faces with other people. I am certainly not the one you saw in whatever ce it is."The man still looking at Kendra''s face seriously as he went to her closely so that he could remember the woman he met at the convenient store." That was you at the convenient store. I recognized your face that one who called me Arrogant Pig!" The man really stressed the word how Kendra called him. Kendra could not speak at all."Am I fired?but I havent applied it yet. Please, I needed a job right now. Can you just forget it?It is true you are arrogant pig."Eric and the other tall man were shocked at Kendra and both wereughing at them." Hahaha, You two looked like dog and cat. Ms. Kendra no need to worry and Gabrielle stop fighting with her. I am Justin Landrieu the boss and the owner of this Travel Agency. You may leave Gabrielle for a while. I will be talking to Ms. Kendra for a few minutes inside my office." Both were stop talking."I thought you are the boss. You acted so authoritative and still an arrogant pig." Kendra was so annoyedly left Gabrielle where both stood up. Gabrielle was continously looking at Kendra with a smile.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. Chapter 28 Ill make it up to you Chapter 28 I''ll make it up to you Gabrielle De Von was raised and borned a provincial vige in France. His family owned a big farm. They had money so his parents sent him to America to study college but he didnt finish it instead he took more of his time studying how to put up his own travel agency. On the other hand, Justin and his family migrated in the US originated from France. Justin was so ambitious and had owned hotel company in other part of France named La Grande. Staying in the US for many years, Justin put up a small travel agency. Gabrielle met Justin identally in a big event somewhere in Summer, and that''s the time Gabrielle knew about Justin as a businessman. Gabrielle became a mentor and trainee of Justin. "I really like this woman. Whats her name again Eric?" Gabrielle standing still suddenly curious about Kendra who called him an arrogant pig. No women who called him that way. His handsome looks with a lot of money in his pocket. Most of women adored him and did try to hook up with him. " Not that look Gabs. This woman is decent so leave her alone. In fact, you are not going to stay more years here in the US. You will be leaving and sooner orter your parents would probably know what you are doing right now. They mighte here and send you back in France." Eric was seriously talking to Gabrielle man to man while he was cleaning the travel agency. "Dont give me that look Eric. I am not that type of guy. Well, I have lots of one night stand with a lot of women but if I found her decent, I would definitely be a decent man too. I am a gentleman." Eric was looking at Gabrielle from head to toe. He was still not convinced and believing his words. "I am just a cleaner, driver and assistant staff sometimes so I have no right to be so hard or harsh to you." Gabrielle was waiting Eric to tell Kendra''s name then the door of Justin office had opened. "Yes! Thats the best feeling ever I have experienced in my entire life." Kendra jumping happily after closing the door. Eric and Gabrielle suddenly shut their mouth looking at Kendra. This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org. "Oh, are you guys standing there for a long time?" Eric and Gabrielle nodding in front of Kendra. Kendra felt so embarassed walking out to Eric and Gabrielle. Gabrielle grabbed Kendra''s hand and could not stop asking lots of questions to her. "Where are you going? Are you going home? What is your name? Kendra suprisingly heard so much questions from Gabrielle. She looked at Gabrielle from head to toe and still so harshed to Gabrielle. "Why are you asking? Do I have debts from you?I dont even know you! Could you please get out of my way because you are blocking it?" Eric tried to stopughing but he could not help himself tough out loud."Ha hahahahahahaha, Why both of you could not stop arguing each other?" Kendra looked at Eric with an annoyed look. "I dont even know why Eric. My blood is getting high everytime I would here this man''s voice. I could not move on how he treated me at the convenience store. He is so arrogant pig." Gabrielle cut Eric and Kendra''s conversation. "Okay okay okay! Fine..you win! I am wrong. I know I was so arrogant at the convenient store. I apologize for my action. We are going to be workmate so lets not argue anymore and a fresh start indeed. Do you agree Eric?" Gabrielle looked at Eric with a smile. Eric instantly understood what Gabrielle meant for. "Yes, I agreed with you. Forgive his action and lets all have to start a fresh one." Eric convinced Kendra to make peace with Gabrielle. "Let me think about it. Anyways, can you please move away? I am going home now. It is gettingte. See you whenever." Gabrielle tried to stop Kendra not to go home yet and convinced her not to get mad at him anymore. "Okay, I''ll make make it up to you. Can I bring you home?I have my car outside. I can drive you safely at home." Kendra put her face closer to Gabrielle and looking his eyes for a long time. Kendra wanted to feel and see if Gabrielle was truly sincere on his apology. "I dont want you to bring me home. You might bring me anywhere and the fact is I dont even know you. You might rape me." Gabrielle suddenly raised his right eyebrow to Kendra. "Excuse me? I have no intention to rape you. If you dont want me to bring you home, lets just have a coffee outside so that you will have a good sleep after." Eric interrupted the conversation of Kendra and Gabrielle. "Why both of you took so long on this issue? Life is so simple. Gabrielle meet Kendra. Kendra meet Gabrielle." Kendra and Gabrielle looking at Eric how he introduced them both to each other. "Okay, fine! I am convinced now. Lets not fight or argue anymore. I am Kendra rk. I have to go now. Bye and see you tomorrow." Kendra left Gabrielle and Eric in front the door. Gabrielle left Eric and followed Kendra. Eric let the two to have their moment and started to close the agency." Kendra, wait wait wait! You are so fast!"Gabrielle was out of breath following Kendra." Who told you to follow me?I said I am going to think about it. Can''t you even wait till next morning?" Gabrielle insisted to make it up to Kendra. He could not want to go home unless Kendra and He would be fine."I am the type of person that what I want, I get easily. You are the first person who is so hard to convince."Kendra stopped walking and went closer to Gabrielle."Are you out of your mind?We dont have any kind of rtionship for you to be so hard for yourself to just make it up to me. I dont even know you. What do you really want from me?"Kendra starting to question Gabrielle on his action that was not convincing at all to her. She thought that Gabrielle wanted more from her."The problem with you is you are thinking too much. I just wanted to have a peace with you. Justin our boss would never like his one of employee have some problem with another inside of hispany. I respected Justin so much. He is such a great mentor for me as well as a friend. That is the reason why I wanted us to be okay so that tomorrow its gonna be a new start for both of us." Kendra suddenly thought of something that Gabrielle somehow was right. She just got hired and it was not so good for her image to be fighting nonesense with someone especially they were working together in onepany. "All right. I am fine now. We are okay. Thank you for making me realize that I should be more forgiving especially I just got a job. My job is so important for me. I dont want to loose it for the reason of a nonesense fight." Gabrielle offered his hand to Kendra. "So, are we friends now? By the way, I am Gabrielle De Von. You may call me Gabs for short." Kendra shook Gabrielle''s hand and introduced herself well. "I am Kendra rk. For now, I agreed with you to make a peace for the sake of my job but if you would do that to me again, I swear I will ruin your life." Gabrielle was turned on to Kendra. He never experienced that a woman would be mean to him like Kendra did. He got a lot of money. Gabrielle thought that all women loved and adored him so much. Chapter 29 Dirty Intention Chapter 29 Dirty Intention Gabrielle whistling while getting out of his car that he parked in front of the travel agency. He walked on going through the agency opening up the door. Eric following his look to Gabrielle wondering what was on Gabrielle''s mind. "Hi, Boss Good morning. You look dashingly handsome today. What is on your mind?" Gabrielle went closer and sitted on the table of Eric. "I got her. Sooner orter, she will be on my hand." N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. Eric was wondering what Gabrielle talking about was another piece of crap. "Who are you talking boss? Linda, Grace, Lisa that you said before you got a very good sex with...Oh, dont tell me another new woman you have met at the bar." Gabrielle had a big smile looking at Eric still wanted to say everything. "Nah, not today Eric. I would tell you if I got her already on the bed. What do you think?" Eric smelled something and felt that he knew who was Gabrielle pointing out. "Do I know her? Ohe on boss dont do that! That kind of move is so wrong. I think that woman you are on your mind right now is a virgin." Gabrielle was not believing Eric at all. "Oh boy, who the hell believing you?Come on Eric thats bullshit, no women nowadays virgin. Who the hell you are referring to?" Eric was making Gabrielle''s mind changed about the woman whom he was targeting on. Eric stopped was he was doing on the table and looked closely eye to eye to Gabrielle. "I am so serious boss. That woman is a virgin. Dont you even see how she acted yesterday?Her action and behavior are very far different from the women you only meet at the bars. She is a decent woman, boss. I suggest you stay away from her. As you look at me now not as rich as you are, yes I am a cleaner, assistant, or driver of this small travel agency firm but I am a man who respects women a lot." Gabrielle was so suprised of Eric how he defended Kendra. The way Eric looked at him, He knew what was he saying about Kendra. "Do you like Kendra?..Eric Eric..Dont tell me that you are so protective to this woman as you have known her before? How did you know Kendra is a virgin?" Eric ignored what Gabrielle was saying. He still wanted Gabrielle to change his mind about his intention to Kendra. "Ha ha ha, No boss..I only met her yesterday same as you and boss justin.I have no romantic interest for her. Talking to her for hours yesterday, of course I could know and feel already that she is a decent woman, innocent and virgin." Gabrielle wasughing so loud as he could not even stop tough about what Eric was saying. "You are such an idiot Eric. You cant even know the person well for just one day meeting. Believe me, she is not as decent of what you thought. Everyone has a darkest side hidden so is she. Dont let your feeling deceive you. Always use your mind not heart. Got me Eric?Anyways, I am so excited to hook up with her and knowing how good she is on the bed." Eric was speechless. He could not do anything to change Gabrielle''s mind. He hoped for the better for Kendra. He knew Gabrielle''s way when it came to women. Nobody could stop Gabrielle until he got what he wanted from a woman. "What if Boss, Kendra is truly a virgin?What are you going to do?" Gabrielle stood up where he sitted and walking through his office opened it and before he closed the door. He said out loud. "None!!! I still have to leave this country soon not for my parents because of my business n to be built soon in France. She is only thest woman that I am gonna taste. If she is so smart enough then I think I couldn''t get hooked up with her but if she is like you trusting the feeling she would be deceived and I dont care. Women are the same. Women only wanted money from a guy like me." Eric was feeling sad for Kendra. He could not do anything. Eric knew how expert Gabrielle was when women involved. When Eric had finished what he was doing when he looked up, a tall woman popped up in front of him. "Are you done working those papers? Justin told me yesterday to ask you how to do that work. Could you teach me now?" Kendra was so excited on her first day. She fastly went to Eric''s table to get to know her work. "Where did you enter?Have you stood up there for a long time or just now?Did you see anyone other than me?" Eric threw a lot of questions to Kendra. He was so worried that Kendra heard him and Gabrielle''s conversation. "What are you talking about Eric?Where did I enter?There is only one door to get enter here in this Travel Agency. This office is not so big. I have not seen anyone but you here. Is there anyone here other than you?Are you okay?" Kendra was looking around if there was anyone other than Eric. She opened the door of Justin''s office but she didnt see Justin there. She still walked around and went to another door office but Eric went to her and tried to stop Kendra not to look more. "Not this door Kendra. Boss Gabrielle is inside. He said dont disturb him while inside of his office unless it is emergency. Let''s start now before Boss Justines to the office." Eric made so much excuses for Kendra not to open the office to see Gabrielle. Eric wanted to help Kendra as much as he could so that she would be out of Gabrielle''s sight. "Ah..all right..Lets start now! I have a question Eric, What do you think about my dress?Is it okay to wear casual dress like this at work?" Eric looking at Kendra feeling so pity for her. He just hoped not to happen that kind of conversation with Gabrielle towards her. He felt guilty for knowing the bad intention of Gabrielle. "Yes, that would be fine.You have to listen carefully to me. I was Justin''s assistant for months after our assistant staff left so you will be the one doing this work for now. My real job here is a driver, cleaner and documents fixer so sometimes you have to go with me to submit these requirements of the clients because we also provide student visa validation other than booking hotel rooms, tours and ne tickets. We still have to hire another staff because you cant do it alone. Luckily, Boss Justin got Boss Gabrielle and working here temporarily. Boss Gabrielle might help you some paper works until we hire the another staff. Will you be okay working with him?" Kendra was sitting and listening to Eric exnation for so long. She could not ask for more. All Kendra''s wanted was to learn more easily and got the work well done. Chapter 30 Urges Chapter 30 Urges Gabrielle went out of his office and saw Kendra wearing yellow mini dress with white heels. "Oh..Hi Kendra, hows your first day?What time did youe here in the office?" Kendra was so busy finishing some paper works and didnt pay attention well to the questions of Gabrielle. "What were you saying Gabrielle?I have to finish these paper works by 1 pm. The client needed to see the details." Gabrielle went more closer to Kendra and looked at what was she doing. Gabrielle started to put his hand on Kendra''s shoulder and moved his face closer to her. "I think you can do that after lunch. Shall we eat lunch together?" Kendra felt something that she couldn''t understand where it came from. She couldn''t exin that feeling of tingling on her skin. It was her firstime to feel that hot skin and sexual drive but she was trying to control it especially not to show to Gabrielle obviously. She still acted normal answering Gabrielle without looking at him. "I am still full. You may eat lunch now if you are so hungry, I have to finish this as soon as possible." Eric the driver suddenly rushed and enter the door of the Travel Agency. He saw Gabrielle started flirting Kendra. "Kendra, are you not done there?Are you still busy?Lets go now. I will teach and show you how to arrange the documents to submit properly." Kendra stood up where she sitted and Gabrielle lost his momentum flirting Kendra. "I am done here. Lets go now Eric. I already sent the important details and finish some moreter. Anyways, the client may call here on the extention celphone." Kendra rushingly went to Eric and left Gabrielle. "I thought you needed to finish these paper works by 1pm." Eric and Kendra ignored Gabrielle and left him alone inside the Travel Agency. "Sorry Boss, we have to go now. This is very important and it is truly urgent." Kendra was back on her normal mind and had removed her sexual urges for Gabrielle. "You are my savior Eric. Its a perfect timing. Where are we going?Where is the car?" Kendra wondering where were they going and what vehicle were they using. "We are not going to use car. The car will be used only for Boss Justine. We are going to use this. Here is your helmet." Eric pointed the motor bike that both were using. Gabrielle saw the two at the window still having a conversation outside. Gabrielle took his car key and went outside of the agency and locked it. He turned the sign board CLOSED. "Kendra cant use your motor bike. Cant you even see she is wearing a dress?You 2 get in the car. Lets use my car. Eric will drive. I also wanted to see the ce and how will you do to fix the documents." Kendra and Eric looked at Gabrielle for a long time. "Are you serious Boss?How about the agency?" Gabrielle opened the door of his car."Get in now Kendra. Eric, dont worry about it. I already talked to Justine and He has his key to open it. Soon he wille to the office." Eric could not do anything just to follow Gabrielle''s order. The 3 had left the travel agency and went on the way to fix some documents for the clients. "Are you okay there at the back Kendra?You may open the air conditioner when you are feeling hot there." Gabrielle would not stop until he took Kendra on the bed. He was feeling in a hurry as he felt a sexual desire for Kendra. After an hour drive, Eric pulled over and parked the car. "Here we are. Let''s go now Kendra so that you can see what I do." Eric got off the car as well as Kendra. Gabrielle followed them both. The building was full of people ligning up. The building was huge but so crowded. Kendra firstime to see how the processing of visa took. This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org. "A lot of people processing their documents here. How long will take?We surely can go home nightime." Eric took Gabrielle and Kendra to see how the processing done. Eric exined to Kendra well regarding the documents processing. "We dont need to que on this long line. We have to go to our contact and pay this amount with additional fee for his service and our documents will be prioritized and finished it in a short period of time so after tomorrow we can get it. What can you say now Kendra?" Kendra was so surprised on the under table the travel agency doing just for a fast and convenient processing. "Thats it.?This job is not so difficult to do but is it legal that kind of processing he does?" Kendra still wondering on the double amount Eric gave to the contact person. Gabrielle suddenly interrupted the 2 conversation and exined Kendra well. "Yes it is legal Kendra. Sometimes you need connection inside for the benefits of thepany and our service. The service should be fast and convenient. Anyways, the real world is all about money. You only have to show them the big amount, and they will give you easily what you need. That is business." Gabrielle started lecturing Kendra and at the same time seducing her. Gabrielle moved a little more closer to Kendra and touched her waist. Kendra felt again that tingling feeling and sexual drive for Gabrielle but still trying to control herself and acted normal. "Ahhh...okay!That is truly a business. Can we go out now?this ce is getting hotter. The people are continouslying. The ce is getting more crowded. Eric, are you not done yet?" Kendra could not even look at Gabrielle''s eyes. She left Gabrielle and went to Eric. Eric had finished talking to his contact inside and left the documents. "I am done now Kendra. Let''s go! Boss Gabrielle this way." Eric, Kendra and Gabrielle had done their transaction inside the building and left the building sweating. Gabrielle took out 50 dors in his pocket and gave to Eric. "Give me the key Eric. I will drive Kendra home. Go first to the travel agency and check if it is okay there then you can go home after when you see Justine and ask about me tell him Im going home. I will talk to him tomorrow. Here is the 50 dors for your taxi bill and your food. Anyways, it s alreadyte afternoon." Eric followed Gabrielle''s order and went to Kendra to say good bye. "Are you leaving us here?Let''s all go home together. I am not hungry anymore." Gabrielle touched Kendra''s waist again and made a closer look to her."Lets eat first somewhere near here and I will drop you home." Kendra could not understand herself well. She also lost her mind and felt this sexual urges again to Gabrielle. She couldn''t even say No to Gabrielle this time and she didnt know why. Kendra didnt understand what was happening to her. It seemed like that she was hypnotized by Gabrielle. Chapter 31 Love or Lust Chapter 31 Love or Lust The night had began. Gabrielle and Kendra still on the street looking a ce to eat. Gabrielle couldn''t wait for any longer and drove his car elsewhere. Gabrielle took Kendra in a very quiet private vige and no people around the street. He parked his car somewhere near the vige club house. Both got off the car and walked a little more. "Where are we going?"I thought we are going to eat. Is this your vige?Its so quiet and peaceful. It is nice here. How long have you been staying in this vige?" Kendra still acted normal but she truly felt in her skin this feeling of sexual urge toward Gabrielle. Gabrielle grab her hand and took her in a ce that was so dark with so much grasses and trees. Gabrielle started to kiss her neck, then Kendra''s lips and both were so aggressive. Gabrielle pulled down the string of her dress and unlock her bra. Both continous to kiss each other as there was no other day. Kendra was so overwhelmed. She felt so good having an intimate kisses with Gabrielle. Gabrielle put his hand on Kendra''s legs up to her undies. Kendra felt the hand of Gabrielle up to her undies. "Stop!"I can''t do this right now. I have to go now. Can you bring me home?" Kendra went back to her normal mind. Gabrielle still wanted more but Kendra put Gabrielle''s hand out to her. "What happened?Are you not enjoying it? I like you Kendra. Lets finish this now." Kendra kissed Gabrielle on his lips for more. "I like you too but let''s make it slow." She wanted to make it slow and figure out her true emotion for Gabrielle. Gabrielle didnt force Kendra to continue more and listened to Kendra to bring her home. Both had fun walking up to the ce where Gabrielle parked the car. Inside the car, both kissing each other again intimately. "I like you Kendra. I wanted you to be mine." Gabrielle kept seducing Kendra up to the point Kendra would agree to have a sex with him. "Lets go now Gabrielle. We still have work tomorrow. "Kendra still controlled herself not to give away more to Gabrielle. After an hour of driving, the car had pulled over. "So here is your apartment?Wow.. you live alone?" Gabrielle started to be more curious about Kendra and wanted to know about her. Kendra ignored Gabrielle''s questions. Kendra just kissed him on his lips and got off the car. "Good night Gabrielle and have a safe drive." Kendra went inside of her apartment. Going up to her room andid down on her bed. She was looking at the ceiling and got thinking about Gabrielle. She couldn''t sleep at all because of the sexual urge she felt for Gabrielle. She didn''t know how to react to herself. "What did I do?" Is it love or lust?" Kendra kept asking herself if is it love or lust the feelings she had for Gabrielle. The night was getting deeper until she fell asleep. The next morning, the sun was so bright and Gabrielle got ready for his new day. He drove his car on the way to the office. He dropped by the coffee shop. "Can I buy 3 brewed coffee please?" Gabrielle took out his wallet and paid the coffee at the cashier. "Here is the change Sir, Have a good coffee." The cashier boy smiled at Gabrielle and offered him cookies. "Oh, Yes, thank you. This is good for the coffee." Gabrielle went out of the coffee shop and started driving his car on his way to the office. He started thinking of Kendra, smiled, then his heart beated so fast. He couldn''t believe that his dirty intention towards Kendra changed into something special asking himself. "Is it love or lust?" He arrived at the agency so early. He saw Eric cleaning up the front door as soon they would open the agency. "Good morning boss, You are so early today. I am starting to open up." Gabrielle waved his hand to Eric and showed to Eric a cup of coffee. "Eric, stop cleaning there!Go inside and join me. I bought some coffee for us." Eric stopped cleaning and followed Gabrielle walking inside the agency. Inside the travel agency, Gabrielle put out some cookies and gave a cup coffee to Eric. Eric was so happy for a cup of cofffee and cookies. "Thanks booss. This is my favorite kind of coffee. What came into your mind and you bought some coffee?" Eric started sipping the coffee felt it so good with a cookie match. Gabrielle started smiling to Eric just silent. Eric was started to tease him again. The door opened and it was Kendra. Gabrielle had tounge burned because of the hot coffee."Ouch.." Eric tried to stopughing and Kendra rushingly went to Gabrielle seemed so cared a lot to him when he heard Gabrielle''s voice. "What happened to you?Are you all right? May I see?"Kendra touched Gabrielle''s face and looked at well his lips if something happened."Ahem..Ahem..I smell something fishy going in here. A lot of ants around. So Sweet."Eric started to tease Kendra and Gabrielle. Gabrielle was smiling with his face so close to her and attempted to kiss Kendra but Kendra and Gabrielle moment had stopped when Justin came."Gabrielle, into my office now!" Justin face was so furious. Gabrielle followed Justin inside the office and shut the door."What happened to Boss Justin? Any idea Eric?"Eric continued sipping the coffee and eating the cookie."You want Kendra?I think boss Gabrielle bought you also coffee and cookies and left it on your desk."Kendra looked for it on her desk. She saw a little note with coffee and cookies. The note said "See youter". She looked at the note for a long time,smiled and sipped the coffee. She looked at Eric and asked again."Why Boss Justin angry?Do you have any idea?"Eric scratched his head and exined what happened why Justin got mad so early in the morning."Boss Gabrielle forgot the client call and meet to sign the contract. It was a big deal. Now, Boss Justin is so angry with Gabrielle because the client found a new travel agency to cater their group."Kendra felt so sorry for Gabrielle. She didnt even understand why she started caring so much about Gabrielle. "What would Justin do to Gabrielle then?Is he gonna fire him?" Kendra was so intrested to know. Her face was so serious asking those questions to Eric. "Are you worried Kendra?You guys just known each other for 3 days today. I cant believe you guys got a long well so fast. Boss Gabrielle is really expert. I admired him. "Kendra suddenly thought of something of what Eric was saying. "What were you saying Eric?Is there something I have to know?" This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?. Eric was biting his lips and changed topic easily for Kendra not to suspect or think more. "None..I didnt say anything Kendra. I said I admired Boss Gabrielle for being such a good Boss. He is so hardworking. Sometimes we do make mistakes but he can easily solve it by himself and he really works so fast." Eric''s alibis didnt work for Kendra. "Oh really? I dont believe you. You wanted more cookies?What do you want today?I will treat and buy you something." Kendra tried to get Eric''s likes for him to say what he knew but Eric was so smart. Of course, he didnt want to interfere,got involved and set fire for the both. He made up stories again for Kendra not to think again what he said. "Kendra, I will talk to youter. I remembered something that I needed to finish this time." Eric was in a hurry going out the agency and left Kendra alone at her desk. Chapter 32 Hidden Truth Chapter 32 Hidden Truth Kendra stood up and went closer to the door of Justin''s office. She heard a loud voice of Justin shing. Kendra put her ear to the door. "Do you know how much money we''ve lost because of a simple mistake?What did you do yesterday? I told you this client is really important for thepany. What are you thinking? You have been distructed since that new staff came. I know how expert you are when ites in getting a woman but please focus on your job. This is not for me only, its for you too and for thepany. Besides, you will be flying back to France soon so I needed you to work your job seriously and get well done.Did you understand me?" Kendra was so shocked about what she heard. Her heart beated so fast and started her tears to fall. She thought that Gabrielle was really okay for her as she started to think and feel that she was falling for him. Eric saw her standing at the door listening to the fighting of the two bosses. "What are you doing there Kendra?Are you listening to their fightings?"Kendra looked at Eric with her tears falling. "Did you know anything about this?" Eric was confused about the question of Kendra. Looking at Kendra''s face felt him this kind of guilt that he could not exin where it came. "What about? Why are you crying?What did you hear?" Kendra couldn''t even stop being emotional but she still tried not to be for so long. She wiped her tears using her hand. "I am okay now Eric. I shouldn''t be acted this way as I know me and Gabrielle have no rtionship at all." Eric didn''t get Kendra at all. He knew that both had an affair already. "Really?You guys dont have something special or something you know what I mean." Kendra was still wanted to know the truth from Eric about Gabrielle''s stay so she started asking questions from Eric. "How long Gabrielle will be staying here in this country?Will he be leaving this country and go back to France soon?What did he say to you?" Eric didn''t know how to answer these all questions to Kendra. He was walking back and forth in front of Kendra thinking what he had to say. He went closer to Kendra sitted beside her and said with a sad face. "Yes, Kendra! He will be leaving soon. There is something I wanted you to know. I wanted to confess. I should have told you this before Boss Gabrielle took you home alone yesterday. I knew his intention towards you. He is not as good as you thought when ites to amitment but he has a good heart. He has still have to learn more about rtionship so please dont take seriously on how you feel about him because you will be left by him crying." Kendra couldn''t believe in what Eric replied to her and his confession. Kendra''s tears started to fall again as she couldn''t stop at all. She was hurt as her firstime to feel this kind of feeling. "I am falling for Gabrielle. Is having sex make him stay?I will give it to him. Yes, I am a virgin because I m preserving it until I get married and give my virginity until the time I get married with my lifetime partner but if that is the solution to make him stay to prove that I am in love with him. I will give it to him what he wanted. That is what man wants. They needed to prove if woman loves them or not by having sex, right?" Eric already knew that Kendra was a virgin from the start he met her so he literally not suprised on what Kendra was saying. Ericforted Kendra so that she would stop crying. "Kendra, dont be foolish?A lot of men in the world. There is no forever love. Couples get separated. That''s the reality! Dont be harsh on yourself. So what if he would be leaving soon? Come on, Kendra wake up!!!You guys have known each other only for days. I think third day now. Am i right?You are such an innocent woman. You will learn more about the real world but this time you have to listen to me. Take it slow, forget about what you have heard a while ago and dont think to give that virginity to him because Boss Gabrielle doesnt deserve to have it. He should stay those wild women he encountered at the bars. He doesn''t desereve a very good woman like you." Eric did her best to stop Kendra being emotional. He understood the emotion of women a lot. Kendra starting to be fine and make the conversation not that emotional. "Yes, I am too smart on other stuff like my work or career but when ites into a rtionship or emotion I am so weak. I just cant help it. Everyone deserves to be happy. Right? I dont understand this situation and my life always in diversity. I dont know when will it end. I sometimes can''t help it. I am sorry Eric for showing my vulnerability and thank you for your advice but I don''t know if i could do it or not." Kendra had a rigid mind. She didn''t listen to anyone''s advice most of the time. She always listened to herself as she always believed and followed her heart than what people''s saying and doing. Eric felt sad listening to Kendra while she was being emotional. "I do understand what you are feeling right now. What matter most is today and you have to stay strong and forget Boss Gabrielle. He will be leaving soon maybe tomorrow?next month or the other month? Nobody knows. I also dont know when exactly he will be leaving but you got to prepare for it. Women are so emotional. You got to use your mind than your heart that''s the only advice I can give you." Kendra still couldn''t understand what Eric was saying. For her, mind was boring, no excitment, joy, and fulfillment so better to follow her heart than her mind. She still continued crying. "That''s it!! I just wanted to feel happy so i followed my heart all the time because this moment is the only time we have. Nobody knows what''s gonna happen to us in the next day and the other day so better to be real in myself. I have always wanted to be happy especially right from this moment but i still don''t get it why do I need to know that Gabrielle will be leaving soon. It truly breaks my heart." Eric had changed topic so that Kendra would stop crying. N?velDrama.Org is the owner. "Let''s go out first. Let''s take a walk. Are you not hungry? Anyways,there is nothing much to do today. We can do it easily after we eat out." Eric pulled Kendra hands to get out where she sitted up to the way out. Chapter 33 Feeling Overwhelmed Chapter 33 Feeling Overwhelmed Gabrielle got out of Justin''s office after hours of discussions. He closed the door and looked at Kendra''s table but Kendra''s was not there. He was looking around even Eric he did not see. "Eric!!!Where are you?" He looked out the window as he saw Eric and Kendra walking anywhere. He was so curious where Kendra and Eric going. He looked at his watched and it was 12 noon. He felt so hungry, left out the agency and started following them. Eric and Kendra were not aware that Gabrielle had been following them. "This restaurant is so good. What do you think Kendra?" Eric was doing his best to cheer up Kendra. Kendra started smiling. "It is all right where we eat. I also feel hungry. Let''s not choose. I think this restaurant is fine." Gabrielle saw the twoughing each other and felt jealousy. He didnt understand his feeling at all. He never felt that kind of feeling to all women he met. His heart knowing that Kendra was merely different among all women he had met in his life. He did not want to believe in his feelings for her that it was true. He did not want to let his emotion controlled his mind. He had ns to reach his business goals but his heart beated so fast that he would get crazy to see Eric and Kendraughing. He walked so fast to reach them in the restaurant. "These foods are so great.It is not so pricey. Simple but delicious How did you know this ce?" Kendra enjoying the foods so much while listening to Eric''s story. Eric almost finished his foods. "This is my favorite ce to eat. I grew up in this ce. Since I was a kid, I have been eating here. This is my favorite dish. Try this." Eric took his fork and showed Kendra what delicious food he actually meant. Kendra looked at it and tried it. "Oh my God, this is so yummy. Anyways, how long have you been working with Justin and Gabrielle?" Kendra started to be curious on Eric''s work rtionship with Justin and Gabrielle. "Kendra, I grew up in poor family. I have been working with Justin for almost years probably 5 years something. Way back then, I did my best to apply all jobs avable around here but nobody wanted to hire me then I saw the travel agency newly built at that time. Boss Justin saw me looking around the office space and he asked me to go inside. He offered me a drink and breads. He asked me what i was doing in front of his office space. He thought I was homeless man looking for something to eat, then I said I was looking for a job and begged him to hire me. He could hire me as a cleaner as he wanted or a driver any job. Boss Justin has a big heart. He smiled at me and said if I wanted to start now, I could start anytime. I haven''t met such a kind hearted person like him. So here I am in front of you a cleaner, driver, assistant, sometimes plumber in the office whatever title you name it." Kendra wasughing hardly in front of Eric. Eric''s phone was ringing. It was Justin. "Oh no, Its Boss Justin. Can I excuse for a while Kendra?" Eric stood up and answered the phone. He saw Gabrielle stepping inside the restaurant. Gabrielle looked at Eric eye to eye. He pointed his finger to their table. Gabrielle saw Kendra waiting for Eric. Kendra was still enjoying the food. While chewing the food, Gabrielle''s hand cover Kendra''s eyes. Kendra felt the warmed hand and her heart started to beat so fast. Gabrielle whispered on her right ear. "How''s the food baby?" Kendra could not speak at all. She felt so overwhelmed. "You called me a baby. Why?Are boyfriend and girlfriend now?" Kendra looking at Gabrielle wondered why he called her baby so she wanted to make a clear answer from him. Gabrielle sat beside Kendra. Looking her eyes for long time and he kissed her on her lips. He felt that warmed feeling on her lips and without hesitation he answered Kendra easily. "Yes, Don''t you want to be my girlfriend?" Kendra felt overwhelmed when Gabrielle asked her to be her girlfriend. She did not know how to answer it. Kendra popped up in her mind the truth about Gabrielle''s n to leave soon. "I thought you will be leaving this country sooner orter. Do you still want to be in a rtionship?" Gabrielle was so surprised and wondering how Kendra knew about his n to leave soon. "Who said that?Eric?Of course it depends. I don''t know yet Kendra but for sure now what I know is to be your boyfriend." Kendra didn''t know how to answer Gabrielle. "Of course, I wanted to be your girl friend. I would love to be your girlfriend." Kendra kept kissing Gabrielle. Eric came. "Ahem, Sorry.. I wanted to get my bag and Boss Justin needed me now. He also needed you Kendra. He wanted to speak with you. Let''s go now." Gabrielle took Eric''s bag and gave it to him. Kendra stood up. "I think Eric and I have to go. We have lots of work to do. You may eat your lunch first here. Let''s talk later." This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. Gabrielle started to get annoyed and felt jealous of Eric. "Eric, you better go. Can''t you see that I am still talking with Kendra? You can make alibis to Justin or told him that I am with her. Why didn''t you even mention to him?What is the problem with you Eric?" "Boss Gabrielle, calm down! You know that I can''t make any excuses to Boss Justin. I am an honest man. I already told Boss Justin that you are here and Kendra but Boss Justin insisted to bring Kendra with me when I go back to the office. Boss Justin needed Kendra for some work to do." "I will go with you Eric. You better calm down Gabrielle. Work is work for me. Personal life is personal life. Don''t make it too personal Gabrielle. You have to understand that we still have to be professional. Though I am your girl friend now but you are still my boss and Justin. Our lunch break are finished. You have to take your lunch and let''s talkter." Kendra kissed Gabrielle and left. Kendra and Eric went out the restaurant together. Chapter 34 A woman in a red dress wearing red lipstick Chapter 34 A woman in a red dress wearing red lipstick Eric and Kendra were on the way to the office and left Gabrielle at the restaurant. The two were in the hurry. Kendra was starting to be exhausted. "Eric, wait..Why are you walking so fast? I can''t walk more fast anymore. I am loosing my breath." Kendra could not walk fast anymore she stopped a little bit. Eric saw Kendra catching her breath. "Oh, Kendra sorry! Justin will be mad again to me when we are not at the office on time. We are almost there. Keep walking!" "Ah, Okay.. Do not worry about me. I am fine. What is that important matters he wanted to say to me? Do you have any idea?" Eric was a little hesitant to say anything to Kendra. He would not want Kendra to worry about. "It is better that Justin will tell you about it. I think it is all about your job." The two were almost near at the office when they saw a tall beautifuldy wearing a red fitted dress wearing red lipstick and jewelries stepping inside the travel agency. "Oh my god, Eric who is that gorgeousdy going inside our office? Is she one of our big client?" Eric was so surprised on what he saw. He was trying to think again where he met this woman. "I do not know exactly but we will see once we get in the office." Eric and Kendra finally arrived. Justin and the talldy were having a good talk on the couch. "Atst, Eric and Kendra are back. I would like to introduce to the two of you Ms.Tara, our big client. She will be here in the US for a week vacation." Eric easily recognized Tara. He could not believe that Tara would show up after that night with Gabrielle. He was with Gabrielle at the bar. Gabrielle invited him for a drink and they both met Tara. "Hello, Eric long time no see. How is Gabrielle?Did he miss me? Where is he?" Kendra was speechless. She could not understand what was going on. Her heart beated so fast and starting to cry out. Gabrielle opened the door of the travel agency and saw Kendra standing beside Eric, Justin and Tara. "What a surprise! What are you doing here?It has been a long time." Gabrielle smiled at Tara, and acted in front of her professionally. "Oh, you both know each other. Well that is great. I do not need to exin further. Gabrielle will handle you. Kendra will take care of you too Ms. Tara. Anything you need just ask them both. Anyways, Kendra may I talk to you for a second at my office to exin more what you need to do for Ms. Tara." Kendra followed Justin into his office. Kendra looked at Gabrielle worriedly and still asking herself who that woman really was. Gabrielle looking Kendra and Justin surely inside the office. "What is this drama again Tara?" Tara starting to seduce Gabrielle. She put her hands on Gabrielle''s arms and putting her face closer to his ear and whispered. "Don''t you miss me at all?How many nights did we spend together?That was really a good sex. We were so wild. We were engaged but you left me for another woman. Are you still a boy or a man now?" "Are you here for a revenge? Do not ever try to hurt anyone here." Tara was pping her hands and teasing more Gabrielle. "Are you scared? That new staff of yours is totally gorgeous. She seems so innocent and I guess she is still a virgin. Poor little girl, she does not know where her life is heading with you. Is she your girlfriend?" Gabrielle did not answer Tara''s question about Kendra. "What exactly are you doing here Tara?My life is so peaceful now. Why are you showing up now? Move on please." "I am here to ruin your life Gabrielle just like what you did to me." "Ruin my life?What did I do to you?I felt that you were not the woman for me. I left you not for someone just because feelings changed. That was the truth and you have to ept it." "You did not know. I was pregnant when you left me. I supposed to tell you that night when you broke up with me. I followed you secretly and I saw you with another woman. You have hurted me so much. I did not know what to do when I got pregnant. I panicked and so depressed for months until the baby gone. You ruined my life Gabrielle. I would never ever forget those days. I promised to myself that I will find you and let you feel what you made me feel. Now, you know the truth. What can you say now?" Gabrielle did not even feel any pity for Tara''s story. He believed that Tara was lying just to get a revenge. Eric did not believe that Gabrielle could ever do that to a woman. Eric knew that Gabrielle was a y boy but doing such terrible stuff, he was thinking twice. This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. "Ms.Tara let us be so professional here. I do not have any rights to meddle on your rtionship with Boss Gabrielle but I suggest you can talk about this outside. You can talk more to Boss Gabrielle if you wanted to. You may set a date for him. I will set you for a lunch or dinner. Maybe tomorrow or the other day?" "Eric, I can handle this. Remember, we still have clients to talk to, right?" "Yes, Boss Gabrielle. I remember." Gabrielle made some signals for them to throw Tara away from the office. "If you do not have anything to say something important regarding your business here. Please Tara, you may go." "Do not ignore this Gabrielle. I will make you pay for this for sure. Anyways, I will catch you again handsome." Tara got closer to Gabrielle even more and kissed Gabrielle on his lips for a long time. It was a timing when Kendra got out of Justin''s office and saw Tara kissing Gabrielle. Chapter 35 Commotion Chapter 35 Commotion Tara intentionally did kiss Gabrielle as she already saw Kendra in front of Justin''s office. Kendra''s heart was crying when she saw Tara and Gabrielle kissed for a long time. She went more closer to Gabrielle and Tara. Looking at them angrily. "Excuse me Miss. The man that you are kissing is my boyfriend." Gabrielle suddenly pushed Tara away from him and felt guilty on what happened. "Oh, is this your boyfriend?Sorry, i thought Gabrielle doesn''t have a girl friend. He didn''t mention to me while we were having a good conversation. Anyways, I am Tara, Gabrielle''s ex fiancee and you are?" "You may go now Tara. Please don''t start again. Eric will assist you when you need more something on your one week vacation" Gabrielle pushed Tara away out of the travel agency. Tara looked at Gabrielle irritatedly. "Why are you pushing me away? I am your customer here. I am paying your service here. I wanted her to be my tour guide. I think, we are both going to have a lot of fun and adventure." "She is not a tour guide." "I can be your tour guide in one condition, stop flirting my boy friend. do you understand me?" "Hahaha, I can''t say yes to you because your boyfriend is totally yummy." N?velDrama.Org is the owner. "Stop this Tara...Let''s leave her here Kendra." "Don''t touch me Gabrielle. You already have a girl friend and still you are allowing yourself to kiss another woman." "I didn''t mean to kiss her. Tara kissed me intentionally. Eric is a witness. This is her n to get you angry with me and fight each other. Don''t tell me that you will be affected on this matter?" "I don''t know Gabrielle. I don''t know if you are serious on me or not. Shall I trust you or not?" "Are you doubting on me? If you did not trust me why did you say yes to be my girl friend." "I said Yes to you because obviously I really like you. I have feelings for you and how could I know your true intent and feelings for me after what I have seen you kissing with her." "Stop being naive, Gabrielle has no intention in a serious rtionship with you especially a woman who is just like you." Kendra did not like what Tara said to her. Looking at her and started to be emotional "Who is just like me?What do you mean?" Gabrielle did not like the conversation going and he started to be stressed out. He never wanted to be committed truly again at first because of woman''s drama. "I don''t like this anymore. Tara get out of this ce. Leave this ce now. Kendra if you have doubts, let''s end this rtionship. For now, I wanted to be alone." Kendra was so surprised on what Gabrielle acted and said to her. She was expecting that he would be more concern about her and their rtionship. She felt so disappointed but her emotion never stopped telling herself to go after him and never agreed on ending up like that. The first day of rtionship with her then Gabrielle gave up already just like that in one day. Kendra did not understand that. "Just like that?Why did you give up like that?What do you truly want from me?Look at me!" Kendra started to be emotional and could not stop her tears falling. Eric went closer to Kendra and tried tofort her. Gabrielle did not like Eric got more closer to Kendra. His mind made him crazy looking at Kendraforting by another guy. "Hey hey hey, Eric! Don''t meddle in our rtionship." Themotion was totally much and Justin who was in the office heard so much noise and so curious what was happening outside. Kendra suddenly stopped crying,wiped her tears, and acted normal when Justin went out his office. "What is going on here? I heard a lot of noise from my office. Miss Tara, is everything okay? Do you have anything needed on your a week vacation package tour booking?Eric will give you a contract. Here is Kendra my new staff will be guiding you on your way to the hotel and let you know the details of the package tour." "Yes, Boss Justin. Actually, Me, Boss Gabrielle and Kendra were trying to exin to Miss Tara all the details she needed on her week vacation. Right Miss Tara? Here is your contract and please sign here." Everybody was pretending to act normally in front of Justin. Tara sighed and took the contract to Eric to sign. "Where will I sign here? How long will I wait Eric?" "I will give you a call by tomorrow to let you know if the booking has already done." Justin smiling perfectly for his big client Miss Tara and apany her up to way out. "I am fine Justin. You don''t need to worry about me. I guess your staffs can handle me so well. Job well done Eric, Gabrielle and Miss Kendra." Tara was looking at Gabrielle and Kendra with a dismay. Justin noticed how Tara looked at Gabrielle and Kendra. "Is there something wrong with Gabrielle and Miss Kendra?" Tara pretended smiling talking to Justin. "Oh, nothing!They are so perfect to assist me. I am so excited for my week vacation. There are some friendsing for I guess we are 12 people so I am looking forward to the best vacation experience. Would you like to join me Gabrielle and Kendra? Justin will be saying yes, right Justin?" " Thank you for your invites but a lot of things to do on this business. Me and Kendra are so busy." Tara looking at Justin to agree to join Gabrielle and Kendra with her vacation. Gabrielle noticed it and pulled Tara''s hand. "Ouch, what the hell are you doing Gabrielle?" "Miss Tara will be leaving now. Anything you wanted to say more Justin?" "Sorry, Miss Tara but Gabrielle is right. I only have a few staff with me. We are truly busy. I apologize Gabrielle and Kendra can''t join you. Anyways, I will call another travel agency if you needed some tour guides. I will let you know right away." "No need Justin for tour guides. My friends areing for this exciting vacation. I will wait them anyhow." "Bye, Miss Tara! Don''t you have anything to do because we have a lot of things to do now. You are not the only client we have." "Gabrielle you are being sarcastic. I apologize Miss Tara for the behavior of Gabrielle. He will apany you outside on your way to the car parking." "That is fine Justin. I understand. Anyways, I can go now alone. No need to apany me by Gabrielle." Gabrielle insisted still to bring Tara out of the travel agency and bring her to the car park. Justin wondered Gabrielle''s action towards Tara. "Do you guys know each other?" "Of course I don''t know Miss Tara Justin. I just met her today. You still have something to do inside of your office, right?The breakdown of all the billings are almost done." "Oh yeah yeah!I almost forgot. Geez Gabrielle, thank you for reminding me. Anyways, Miss Tara I have to go now and enjoy your vacation." Justin left Gabrielle, Kendra, Eric, and Tara and walked fastly inside of his office. Gabrielle, Kendra and Eric breathed a sigh of relief. "Now, the drama is over. Tara, Could you please go now or I will drag you out of this building." "Okay okay fine fine..I am not yet finish with you Gabrielle. This is just a start. How is the feeling lover boy with a broken trust with your poor innocent girl friend?Oh, you ended up with her just like that so you can go to my house. I am okay tonight." Kendra was stopping herself to hold back. She did not want a fight withTara. She wanted to calm down. She could not deny to herself the she felt so nervous and hurt about Gabrielle''s action. "Tara if you want Gabrielle, you have to get him from me." Gabrielle was shocked on Kendra''s words to Tara. "What? Kendra stop this. I don''t like this anymore." Gabrielle dragged Tara out of the Travel Agency. Chapter 36 Official Complaint and Decision Chapter 36 Official Comint and Decision "Don''te back here again ever. You love making troubles. ept the reality that I did not choose you so move on. Did you understand me Tara?" "Don''t you teach me what I have to do. How''s the feeling Gabrielle?" Tara still did not stop teasing andughing at Gabrielle. Kendra looked at Gabrielle and Tara at the window. She looked at Tara seemed to have a good time talking to Gabrielle. She started to feel insecurities and jealousy. She went out the travel agency office and got closer to Gabrielle and Tara. Kendra shouted at Tara. "What are you still waiting there?Get out of here. Stop flirting my boyfriend. You do not have anything to do. Are you bored? Stop bothering us and don''te back here again. Don''t you dare to call me or Gabrielle to have any transaction with your a week vacation. If you wanted to talk to anyone, call Eric. Don''t show up again on my sight or else I will punch your face." Gabrielle changed his mind about Kendra. I thought that Kendra would make him feel a serious commitment. He truly felt how insecure Kendra was. Gabrielle looked at Kendra and confused suddenly about his feelings toward her. "What are you doing here Kendra?Stop fighting with her. Let''s go now. Let''s leave her here." Gabrielle took Kendra''s hand and left Tara. Tara was so agitated on Kendra''s action toward her. She took out her celphone inside her bag and phoned Justin. "Hello, Justin, I wanted to cancel my business deal with you." "Ms. Tara, what happened? I don''t understand why do you want to cancel?Is there anything wrong?" "Your new staff named Kendra, right?I don''t like her behavior. Me and Gabrielle was talking here outside and came over here to throw bad words at me and fought me.Is that a kind of staff you have in yourpany? She is so rude and disrespectful." "I apologized for my staff behavior. What do you want me to do to her? I will give it to you right away just please don''t cancel our business deal." "You will give everything I request?" "Yes, of course Ms. Tara!You are one of our big client. I won''t say no for my client." "Then fire Kendra. I don''t want to see her again working in yourpany again." "Okay, I will do it for you right at this moment after our phone conversation." "Oh, That is awesome. I really like you Justin.Thank you." Tara was so happy andughing. She got aplete revenge to Gabrielle and Kendra. She went inside of her car happily leaving the ce. Inside the Travel Agency, Gabrielle and Tara were truly drained on the drama that Tara had created. Kendra moved closer to Gabrielle tofort him. She put her hand on Gabrielle''s shoulder to make him feel rxed but Gabrielle put out Kendra''s hand. "Kendra, I don''t need yourfort. Give me space. Let''s not talk. I will let you know when I am okay." "Huh, What is your problem Gabrielle?I don''t understand you. I amforting you because I care for you and I like you so much." Kendra started to kiss Gabrielle but Gabrielle refused Kendra''s kissed. "I said, I need a space. Leave me alone." Kendra felt hurt, started to be emotional and could not control to fall her tears. Kendra walked out and mmed the door. Justin saw how Kendra acted. Justin knew about themotion.Tara canceled her transaction andined Kendra. "Kendra, Could you go in my office?I wanted to say something." "Yes, Boss!" Kendra went inside of Justin''s office. "Kendra you are only working here for days now. Unfortunately, I have to terminate you on the action you showed to our client. Tara is a big client . She called me andined you. I don''t have any idea what kind of rtionship you have for Gabrielle but it is not an excuse to fight with a client that way because of Gabrielle. You may pack your things and go." This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?. Kendra was so surprised and did not anticipate it wasing. "I am sorry Boss Justin. I could not control my emotion a while ago. Don''t I have any chance to save my job. I need this job. I promise,it wont happen again." "I am sorry Ms. Kendra, I dont tolerate such kind of behavior in mypany. In fact, you are working here only for days not even a week and you have showed that kind of behavior. Tara is one of our big client. She wanted to cancel the deal because of you. Luckily, I convinced her not to cancel her transaction with mypany. In return, I promised her to terminate you." Kendra felt so bad about Justin''s decision. She left Justin''s office right away crying. Kendra was packing her things and could not even stop crying. Eric saw Kendra and felt truly pity for her. He put out his hanky and gave it to Kendra. "Thank you, Eric. I don''t know how much I can thank you for making me feel at ease and calm. I only like Gabrielle so much. I think I am falling in with him. I did not mean to be so emotional and said those words to Tara. I could not control my jealousy and insecurity. Looking at them making me feel I am in thepetition. I don''t understand why Gabrielle got mad at me instead offorting me." "You will be fine Kendra. You are still young. You have to learn more about rtionship." "I know it is my fault. I don''t me Justin for firing me today but I don''t understand that Justin could not even give me another chance. Where is Gabrielle now?He is inside of his office and no care at all." "Boss Gabrielle does not want to talk to you. Let''s forget everything happened today and move forward. A lot of jobs out there and they need you." "That''s it Eric, I am so tired of looking a job. All thepanied I have been working for instead the company shut down or firing me. I don''t understand. It is my firstime falling in love with the guy, this what happened. My life is sucks. I know I am attracted but why I always go to a guy having this kind of situation. I don''t know Eric. Sometimes, I am feeling that I want to die." "Oh, don''t think that way. Where do you live? I will help you to bring your things at your home. I will ask permission to Boss Justin to help to pack things and bring you home." "Thank you, Eric. You are my life savior." "Don''t mention it. You are a good friend. You have to forget Boss Gabrielle, he is not good for you." "I don''t know. I cant say anything about him. All I know is I am falling for him. I like him very very much." "Don''t worry, Boss Gabrielle will realize that but for now forget about him, make yourself busy and move forward." Eric felt truly pity for Kendra. He saw his little sister to her. Kendra was truly innocent and pure at heart. Chapter 37 Desperate Move Chapter 37 Desperate Move Kendra was looking again for another job. She could not even imagine again her situation as it repeated again and again. After two weeks of finding a job, she finally got one. "You may start tomorrow, Ms. Kendra rk as our new secretary of this English Academy". The owner of the English Academy toured and introduced Kendra to the Head Teacher and some staffs at the office. The Head Teacher introduced Kendra to all the teachers and taught her exactly what she had to do. Kendra felt relief on her new job. She also definitely moved on easily to whatever happened on her previous job. More than 6 months had passed, a guy popped up. "Ms. Kendra, someone is looking for you." "Yes, Okay! Thank You Ms. Kristine. I will go out after a few minutes. Let me finish this first. Could you bring my visitor at the meeting room and offer him something to drink?" "Sure, no problem. Anything you want me to do for him?" "That is all for now. Ms. Kristine, Thank You! Oh wait a minute, him?who?is he a guy? Did you get his name?" "Yes, Ms. Kendra he is a guy. His name is Gabrielle." N?velDrama.Org is the owner. Kendra had shed back again on what happened between she and Gabrielle. Her heart suddenly beated so fast as she could not even imagine. She took her ss of water. She felt so nervous. She thought that she forgot Gabrielle already but she did not at all. "Oh, okay! Just bring him at the meeting room. Thank you, Ms. Kristine." Kristine followed Kendra''s request. "Sorry to keep you waiting so long, Mr. Gabrielle follow me. Anyways, my name is Kristine a receptionist here. Would you like something to drink while waiting for Ms. Kendra?" "Coffee, will do. How long this Academy has been operating?" "Well, this academy has been operating for 5 years now." "Wow, not bad. It looks like you have bunch of students enrolled here." "Yes, this academy is really booming. Here is your coffee. Are you okay here? I turned on the air conditioner. I will leave you now." "Yes, I am okay. I will wait her here. Thank you." Kristine the receptionist of the Academy left Gabrielle at the meeting room. After Kendra finished her paper works, she remembered that Gabrielle was waiting for her at the meeting room. She took a deep breath first and walked out of her office walking on the way to the meeting room to see Gabrielle. She opened the door. Gabrielle saw Kendra happily smiled and hugged her. Kendra could not exin how she felt but she was deeply happy. "Yes, Gabrielle! It has been a long time. What are you doing here?How did you know I am here?" "How are you?I miss you so much. I am here to apologize on what happened between us. I did not even help you andfort youstime when you were packing your stuff." "It is okay. I am okay now. Let''s forget about it. that is all? why are you here?" "I also want to say goodbye to you, I have to leave this country after tomorrow." When Kendra heard that she could not stop to fall her tears down. She felt that the whole big building where she at copsed. "You came here just for that? I could not believe that you are going to leave this country soon. Was that the true reason you easily changed your mind on me?" "It was not easy for me to leave this country soon. I really wanted to start over with you but I have to go back to France. It will take so many months and I don''t know what will happen. Thinking of you, really wanted to be with you would be hard for both of us and I can not stop thinking about you." Kendra made her desperate move to let Gabrielle changed his mind not to leave the country and be with her. "I will give you everything just don''t leave. I love you Gabrielle." Kendra started to kiss Gabrielle desperately as she never even cared about her virginity anymore. She thought giving her virginity to Gabrielle proved her love at the same time a possible change of Gabrielle''s decision. "Oh, Kendra!This is what I have been waiting for. The moment you would give everything to me." The two were so aggressively touching, kissing from the lips to the chest to the bottom. Kendra locked the door of the meeting room and started to take off her clothes. Gabrielle lifted Kendra to the long table took out her undies and found out that Kendra was truly a virgin. "Are you sure you want to make love with me?" "Of course, I love you so much Gabrielle. I just want to be with you." "You wont regret it, Kendra. This is your first moment that you wont forget." Kendra had her first sex ever to Gabrielle. Kendra did not care anymore. She followed her desperate move to stop Gabrielle to leave the country and stayed with her. It took an hour to finish their moment together. Both were satisfied. Kendra was smiling so big and still keep kissing Gabrielle. "That was so awesome. I wanted you to be mine since then and a dream came true." Both wereughing as they truly had a great moment. "I want you to stay. Could you not leave this country anymore?Let''s start over.Shall we?" Chapter 38 Enough is Enough Chapter 38 Enough is Enough "I cannot stay here in this country. I have to go. I have to do what I can do for my own life. I am not ready yet for a serious lifetimemitment. I am sorry." "What?so you have never been serious to me at all since then?" Gabrielle looking at Kendra''s eyes with a guilt. He truly likes Kendra but he could not stay for her. "I am really sorry Kendra. I am here to say goodbye. Though I got your virginity it does not mean I have to change ns for that." "So your love for me is not real then? What a dumb I am!" "No, no no...You are not dumb. I really like you but I cannotmit." "Yes, I am so dumb. Giving you my virginity. I thought you will be more happier and let you convince to stay." "No! I am here to ask for your forgiveness. That''s all." Kendra pped Gabrielle''s face. She got hurt on what Gabrielle said to her. "So, it is just like that then?After of the first sex we had, you definitely pretended as if you really liked me still." "Do not say like that Kendra. I truly like you but I cannot do or give what you have asked for." "I thought I could change your mind by giving you my virginity. You dont even give yourself a chance to ask for a minute and reconsider something for showing a little care somehow for me." "What?What are you saying Kendra? I told you I wanted to start over again but I just cannot stay any longer here and be with you so I asked for your forgiveness of what happened before." Kendra started to be emotional and her tears fell down again. "Why can''t you stay here for me? What is in there? Why do you have toe here, if you will just leave?" Gabrielle got more closer and looking at Kendra''s eyes crying. "Listen to me Kendra. I am not really amitted guy. I did try to give myself a chance to have a rtionship with you. I had this moment questioning my feelings for you if it was only lust or love. I did my best to understand woman''s ws but I could not stand for it. Do you understand me?" Kendra thought that Gabrielle was truly a genuine as she expected but she felt that she was deceived by Gabrielle. "Get out, Gabrielle! Get all of these clothes and donte back again." "Kendra, why are you insisting only on what you understand? why cant you even get me at all?" "Don''t Kendra me again! I don''t want to hear or listen to all your exnations. You are making my head more confused. I don''t just like you, I love you for real but this is what I got from you. You don''t even consider my true feelings for you. You are so selfish. Get out!" "Kendra.." "I said get out and do note back anymore." Gabrielle could not speak at all. Kendra was right. Gabrielle''s feeling was not real as Kendra has for him. Gabrielle left the meeting room. Kendra got out of the meeting room after Gabrielle left. She stood up still as if nothing happened. She smiled the staffs that passed by on her. Kendra''s boss was looking for her. "There you are...What took you so long at the meeting room, Ms. Kendra? "Nothing, Boss. I just had a long conversation with my old friend. Anyways, He left the building already. Is there something you want me to do for you now?" "None, just wondering taking you more than an hour at the meeting room. Are you all right Ms. Kendra?" "Oh yes I am. I have finished the pay roll for the staffs." "Did you check everything around here?The staffs may need something. We needed more staffs. Have you recruited anyone yet?" "I have not recruited yet. I may do the recruiting tomorrow. I will be checking the area now. See you around boss." "I really like how you work. You know how to organize and manage things very well." "Thank you, Boss." Kendra busy checking around the area. She asked the staffs, maintenance, and even the drivers if they needed something or have some problems. Late afternoon was fast approaching. Everybody was preparing themselves to go home. "Are you not going home yet, Ms. Kendra? You can finish that tomorrow. I can help you with that, if you want to." "Its okay. Thanks for your concern.I am almost done, Kristine." "Okay, See you tomorrow then."N?velDrama.Org is the owner. "See you..see you..bye..take care!" Kendra left the office. She took more hours then finally she had finished her paper works at 7pm. She started cleaning her desk. She prepared herself to go home. She took her bag and turned off the lights. She went down the building. She saw a figure of tall guy in front of her. It was too dark. She saw only a shadow. She was scared to death. "Who are you? Let me go." "It is all right. It is just me Gabrielle." Kendra got to see Gabrielle''s face clearly and irritated. "What are you still doing here? I told you to go and donte back here again." "Kendra, please!!" "What do you truly want from me? You got it already. You deceived me. If I knew that sex only you wanted from me since then, I should not waste my time for you." "Yes, I admitted it. I wanted a sex only and did my best to get it from you but it all changed after days when I got to know you more." "So you did admit it. Let''s not talk about it. You go and leave this country. I don''t care anymore." "Kendra, I want to end up as friends not like this." "You are truly an asshole. Friends? what do you really think of the women?After fighting, misunderstanding and sex, its bye bye.In the first ce, why did you go after me and asked to be your girlfriend if you were not truly ready for amitment?" "Kendra, please! We can still fix this even when I am gone. We can stillmunicate. Let''s be a good friend." "Get out of my face, Gabrielle. I do not want to have any kind of rtionship with you. I am done with you. Don''t Kendra me again." "Don''t I really convince you anymore. I might change my mind if ever." "No. How many women you have been with? I don''t even care if you changed your mind now or not. I don''t want to have anymore connection or any kind of rtionship with you so please leave me alone." "Kendra, I know you. You are a decent woman and I wanted to keep you in my life." "Stop Gabrielle!Leave me alone." Kendra started to be hysterical. Kendra left Gabrielle without even care anymore. Kendra realized that she did not need anyone nor anything anymore as she felt like so hell using her heart for the wrong guy. She walked on the road crying. Her heart was totally broken. She talked to herself again while walking. She told herself and made a promise. "Enough is enough! Starting tomorrow, no more men, romance or any rtionship at all. I will be focusing only my career, goals and dreams." Chapter 39 Only Hope Chapter 39 Only Hope Kendra could not forget the dumbest move she did to make Gabrielle stay. "Are you all right, Ms. Kendra?You look not well." "I am feeling dizzy right now." "Oh, you should probably go home now. I can help you to finish your work there." "Really?You are such an angel! How can I repay you?" "No..no...no! It is all right. You do not need to pay me for that. We are colleagues. We are team. Maybe a grab of delicious cake tomorrow?" "Oh, sure!No problem..Thank You again. I have to go home now. I am not really feeling well. Could you tell our boss?" "Sure, no problem!You go home now." Kendra took her bag and rushingly went out of the office. She made alibis to escape from work and went to the mall looking around unwinding. She could still remember of what had happened. She realized how desperate she was. She could not even ept and regretted of giving her virginity to Gabrielle. Kendra started to talk to her mind while walking around. "That man, cannot even fight for me! I thought he was genuine. How could you be stupid like that Kendra?" "Kendra!!! Are you Kendra?" Kendra stopped walking, looked back and trying to remember the face of woman who called and asked her if she was really Kendra. The woman went closer to Kendra. "Who are you? Do I know you?" "It has been a long time. It is me, Eunice your college ssmate? We are not that close in college but I know who you are." "Oh, yes..I remember you. It is good to see you here. What a small world, isn''t it?" "Yes, you are right. Are you alone?Are you not hungry? Let''s grab some lunch." "Yes, I am alone! That is an awesome idea, Eunice. Let''s go and have lunch together. I suddenly feel hungry though." Kendra and Euniceughed at each other while walking around the mall finding a good ce to eat. "You got to be kidding me. How could you give your virginity to a man who would be leaving soon?" "I thought, I could stop him not to leave and choose this country for me." "Kendra girl, men are deceiving. We women cannot easily figure out what is running on men''s mind. How they truly feel? They are truly liar." "What am I going to do now?I was preserving my virginity for my husband to be but I lost it because of my dumbest move." "Kendra, It is all right. We learn from our mistakes. You will never grow when you do not do mistakes sometimes. It is part of your growth. Besides, there are lots of men in the world. It does not mean loosing your virginity is the end of the world. Do not think that no men will love you truly when you are not virgin anymore. There is still one man out there who is willing to give everything and can fight for you." "What about you Eunice?What is your experience?Are you married now?How is life going for you?" "No..I am not married. I am still single and ready to mingle. Life is not that easy for me same to you. Sometimes there are ups and down. That is life!" Kendra and Euniceughingly so hard. "Really?" "Yes, really..really...!!!" Both of them continuouslyughing so hard. "Why dont you work outside of this country?Are you not bored of everyday life here?" "I would love to. When opportunitiese. Why not?I love exploring the world. Honestly, I applied lots of time just to be a flight attendant because I love to travel. Unfortunately, I was always rejected." "Maybe that work is not truly for you. Why dont you try another job abroad instead?Forget about flight attendant job. I would apany you to apply to my agency that I applied for." "Oh my god! so meaning, you are working outside of the country now?" Eunice smilingly nodded her head. "I am working in one of luxury hotel in Dubai. Give it a shot, Kendra!It is a stepping stone towards to your exact dream. Dubai is known for luxury shopping, tallest buildings, and a lively nightlife scene." While Kendra was listening attentively to Eunice. She felt joy, and hope for her dream toe true. Her target airlinepany located in Dubai. She got a wise idea. "I am thrilled while listening to your stories. I am so excited to apply for whatever jobs would be given for me. Where will I apply?" "I will be apanying you to my agency maybe after tomorrow so be ready Kendra girl." "Oh, you are on your vacation right now that is why." "Yes, yes, yes..it is my vacation.

"Do not worry Kendra. It is so easy to get a job and fly in Dubai. I swear!" "Really? Oh that is so great."

Although, it is not yet all the countries in the world at least I can work and travel in Dubai. See you soon Dubai!!!" Kendra and Euniceughed again and bid a farewell to each other as they both kissed each others'' cheeks. Chapter 40 The best feeling ever Chapter 40 The best feeling ever Kendra went home feeling excited and full of hope. She was lying on her bed. She said to herself while staring at the ceiling wall until she fell asleep. "This is it!!! My dream will definitelye true. The next day morning, Kendra met Eunice at their meeting ce and both happily going to the agency where Kendra took 4 hours and the interviewer said. "Ms. Kendra rk, you are hired.

"I am really sorry boss that I cannot stay anymore days. I only have 2 weeks. I have to prepare lots of things." "If I can not stop you, then I sign your resignation letter now."

The result of my hard-working for so many years and here it is..My big house but empty." Eunice started to be emotional andughing out loud. "You better take a sleep now." "Thank you Kendra for bringing me home and see you in Dubai." Kendra saw how sad Eunice was despite of her having a big house. She said to herself that she will never be like Eunice. Her true dreams and goals are the most important in her life that she knew would make her feel truly happy and fulfilled.

How much is my taxi fare?" Kendra did not wait the driver to answer her she gave more than the taxi fare as her tip to the driver. Kendra went out of the taxi and hurriedly went inside of the airport. Kendra was feeling so great as she could not even imagine. She was full of hope and super excited to experience the outside country that she had waited for long years. "Am I dreaming?How could it be?" Is it for real?I cannot even believe that I can make it. Oh yes, This is it! Inside the airne, the flight attendants were checking the passengers'' seat belt and luggages. Kendra was sitting beside the window as she was so amazed of the clouds. She was day dreaming that she felt that she was flying so high as she could not imagine. She closed her eyes and felt more the goodness and happiness that she had. A tall, and green eyes man destructed her happy moment alone. "Excuse me, Ms...Ms.." Kendra went back to her consciousness hearing that big voice and when she opened her eyes. "Yes Mr., what do you want?" "I think your sitting on my seat number." Kendra checked again her seat number and she saw the number of her seat that she was sitting. She got a wrong seat number and felt embarrassed. "Oh, sorry! I did not see the seat number well. I was like in heaven when I seated here beside the window." "It seems that you are enjoying sitting there on my seat. Anyways, It is fine. I will be sitting here beside you." "Are you sure?Really?" "Yes, Is this your firstime flying?" "How did you know?"

Also, please be careful opening the overhead bins". All the passengers starting to go out of the ne and took their luggages out the bins. Kendra was the only one left on the seat.

Not totally the whole big picture of my dream because this is only one country but I am certainly for sure that there are more countries out there to be travelled for and I am super excited that I know it ising next."

She closed her eyes to feel more of the new ce she was in. The guy named Lemuel was having a call at the corner when she saw Kendra again going out of the airport. He suddenly hanged up the phone and gazing his eyes towards Kendra. Lemuel was so drawn to her like a ma. "Who is she?Why am I drawn to her?Is she the one for me? She really caught my attention." Lemuel kept asking himself and followed where Kendra going. At the blink of his eyes, Kendra suddenly disappeared on his sight.

She could not exin how she felt. She was still in cloud nine. She was roaming around the Vi. She was still amazed of everything she was seeing around her and realized something. "Everything I need is right here and right now. What else do I ask for? I am living in my goals and dreams now. Although Dubai is just part of my dream and not yet a whole dream for me however, it is already feeling so so good that I cannot exin where these all feelings areing from. I dont know what is gonna happen next for me but for sure it is always good." Chapter 43 Caught up with Operational Manager Chapter 43 Caught up with Operational Manager It was first day of work of Kendra in a luxurious 5 star hotel in Dubai. She was still living in joy and happiness when she started stepping into another country. "My life is like in a fairy tale. Is it for real?" "Yes, it is!Who are you talking to?We are gonna bete so walk faster. "Oh..Sorry.. I am talking to me. Dont bother. I am Kendra." "Khalid, so could you please walk a bit fast?The time is running so fast and we are all gonna bete. Kendra had stopped feeling the joyfulness for a while and back into her reality that she was with her other colleagues and had to go to for training. "Oh yes, You are right." Kendra walked slowly and let her colleagues to go first. She went to another direction alone. Kendra was so happy seeing around new things. Everything was new to her that is why she was so curious. She was almost near at the hotel. She saw the elevator going to her training room when she saw a very handsome man that truly caught her attention. She was stuck looking at him as if she thought it would never happen to her. Kendra''s heart was beating so fast at very firstime in her life, she felt the so called love at first sight. She entered the elevator, the man was beside of her and still her heart beating so fast. "Going Up?" "Oh yes!!" "Which floor?" "9th?" "Oh, we are going on the same floor." "Oh, okay..." The man was smiling. Kendra could not understand herself as she could not speak easily. She became so shy and did not know why. The elevator had reached 9th floor and the door opened. Kendra walked so fast as she did not see the time. She was inte. The training room was jam-packed. Kendra was walking silently. The guy name Khalid saw Kendra. "Where have you been? Which way did you go? "Which way?Ahh..Sorry, I have to go to the bathroom. You know, nature calling." "Are you making excuses? There is no other way except the way that we had." "Seriously?This hotel has many holes or ways to get into this training room." Kendra rolled up her eyes to Khalid and left him. The orientation had begun. Kendra waste. Kendra missed some part of the orientation. The bosses started to show up in front and introduced more about their position one by one. Kendra suddenly shocked when she saw the guy from the elevator. She thought that the guy was her in the same position and other department. She never thought that the guy who asked her which floor and pressed the button was her one of the bosses in her department. Almost all women inside the training room were fantasizing him and most of them had romantic interest. Kendra''s colleague beside her was so excited and kept saying that the guy was so handsome. "He is so handsome. Why on earth has to see this beautiful human being for the firstime!!! Are you not excited seeing and knowing how handsome our boss is?" "Who are you talking to?" "That guy!! Tall, white, with green eyes and golden hair. By the way, I am Latifa from Indonesia and you are?" "Kendra...Kendra rk.." "Oh yes, You arete that is why you have missed something about our bosses. He is the youngest boss in our department and his position is Operational Manager." "What?!Operational Manager..." Khalid heard Latifa and Kendra''s conversation. He went to Kendra and Latifa to cut off their conversation. "You and You..both of you!! Could you please stop talking to each other and listen to what are bosses saying?You two are starting a noise in the room. You are alreadyte and started to make a noise in the room. What is your problemdy? Kendra rolled up her eyes to Khalid, ignored and left him. Latifa grabbed her hand and whispered talking about Khalid. "Khalid is one of the supervisor of our department that is why he is acting so superior. Anyways, our department is so big. He might not be your true supervisor. Who knows?" "He is not acting superior Latifa. He is power tripping us." "I know.. I know..Khalid just have a red alert today." "Red Alert?" "Yes... Men have midlife crisis too not only women.." "You mean hormonal imbnce?" "You got it right ..Men have too..." "I hate it Latifa." "As much as we women hate their hormonal imbnce same with Men. They hate women so much when we are also in our state of hormonal imbnce.." Both wereughing quietly. Kendra suddenly looked up and could not take her eyes off to the guy she saw at the elevator. She was so maized or hypnotized. Her body suddenly got paralyzed. Her heart was beating so fast again and again. Kendra felt so nervous. She felt that her body was frozen to death. The guy caught up Kendra looking at him for a long time. Kendra felt so red in the face and her whole body was melting as she stopped listening to what Latifa was saying. Latifa was looking at her and wondering. "Are you okay Kendra?" "Oh yes.. I am okay..what are you saying again Latifa?" "I said that Khalid must be a supervisor of our restaurant. What job did they giveyou Kendra?" "TSA?" "What is that?" "Telephone Sales Agent? Taking orders.. Order Taker?.." "What work they gave you?" "Waitress.. I will be working in a restaurant..Oh my..Your problem is solved. Khalid will not be working with you." "Really?Thank God.. I am so relieved." "And wow..you will be working at the back of the house. Your sry is higherpare to us." "Does it matter? What did you choose your job if it is not what you want in your heart?" "Yes, Of course it does matter Money is so important. If we have lots of money we can buy anything we want. I have a poor life in Indonesia. I m working outside of my country to get out of my poor life. Working abroad gives you great opportunities to earn more money." "Yes.. yes.. Money is important but what if I am telling you that I am now outside of my country and working abroad because this is one part of my dreams and goals to travel which I know to myself that this is what I truly want and I live with it only. Is not so amazing and so great living only in your dreams and goals?" "Are you all right Kendra?Stop living in fantasy..You have to live in reality. The reality is....Everyone needs money for survival.." Kendra ignored what Latifa was saying. She knew to herself that she was so happy fulfilling and making her dreams and goals happen. She didnt care if not everyone around her believed in what she was saying, what matter to her most was her dreams and goals only. "I live with it.?.." "You are crazy Kendra..Be practical and realistic. Nowadays, People dont care about their dreams because its not practical. People care about Money.." This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org. Kendra looked up again the guy from the elevator. She could not imagine herself that she would be feeling so nervous on how she felt. She could not take her eyes off to him again. The guy felt and caught up Kendra looking at him. The guy that Kendra saw at the elevator smiled at her. Suddenly the moment was gone when Khalid interrupted again their conversation. "Why are you both not following my instructions? I am your supervisor.. You ..and you...give me your names?" "Why are you taking our names?" "Not you..I already remembered your name Latifa..You?" Kendra started again to heat up and did het best to calm herself down. "Kendra...Kendra is my name..Could you please excuse me? I have to join now with my bosses, supervisors...AKA my original team." Kendra left Khalid and Latifa. She walked and looked for het team where she was designated. Latifa could not stopughing. Khalid felt so embarrassed and wanted a revenge. The guy that Kendra saw from the elevator who was their operational manager saw the whole scene and Khalid was so angry to Kendra. "Khalid...Could you pleas go back to your team now. Everyone let us get started on our first day training.. Are you ready all?" Kendra suddenly stopped walking on her way to her team when she heard his voice and looked at him again. Then the guy or AKA their operational manager smiled and winked at her. The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
