Let Him Love You First

After leaving everything behind, Zoey needs to go home and face all she have left. She thought time can heal all wounds but after reuniting with her friends, she has to face her mortal nemesis as well as her ex boyfriend. Little did she know that there is a guy who is watching her from a far that will help her mend her shuttered heart. --- To: America Message: You know what? If you thought that Zoey was wrong for treating you badly, wouldn't it be better for the two of you to sit down, relax and talk? Remember that you've been friends since childhood. Reply: Earl it's easy to say but hard to do. Yes! We've been considering each other as best of friends but why did she decide to believe other people's hearsay? For their seven years of friendship, Zoey could say that America is a hard-headed person. Zoey pretended to be someone just to have a decent conversation with her. All she wanted was to know the truth. It started when one of her classmates saw both America and Michael, Zoey's boyfriend, at the mall. At first, when she heard about this, she thought that what was the deal of seeing them? What if they were buying some stuff together? She naïvely thought that it would be better than her best friend was on good terms with her boyfriend. In that way, she can help and understand them if they were fighting. But all of those thoughts disappeared in an instance when her classmate showed her a picture wherein they caught in the act of kissing and holding each other's hands while buying Cinema Tickets. She dialed America's phone number and tried to ask where she was last weekend when someone saw them together. America answered her calmly, "I was at home sleeping. Why? You knew that Mom was mad at me, and I grounded and forbad going outside last weekend, right?" After she had heard her reply, she thought that her response was like a big slap on her face; she knew that she was lying because her friend's evidence was authentic. The photo has a date on it, and it was impossible for anyone to edit or change the said photo because she used a film camera. Zoey thought of it before she called Michael and asked the same question. After Michael had answered her phone call and heard her question, his forehead instantly covered with cold sweat. Did Zoey found out about them? He tried to calm himself first before answering, "Babe I've told you that Dad was still mad at me and ordered me to stay at home and that was the reason I couldn't pick you up after your ballet lesson." Little did he know that his answer was exactly the same as what America has said to Zoey? Zoey started to have a doubt about them. After that week, Zoey found more about their illicit romance. They indeed are having an affair behind her. When most of her friends tried to convince to break it up with him, Zoey finally decided to do it. She then again called and asked him to meet her at the park near our village. When he arrived she immediately said, "Mike, let's end this." At that moment, she was already shredding her tears as she was asking him to end their relationship. Mike wanted to hold her hand but before he even had the chance to grab her left hand Zoey already stepped backward to avoid him. "Z I'm sorry. I know I'm wrong. I know I wronged you but please don't this to me. I was tempted, I seduced. I don't like nor love America. Babe, please don't say that." Who would have thought that Michael has the audacity to say that? Zoey was confused about what to believe; she didn't know if Michael was telling the truth or if it was another set of lies. But before she turned around and leaves, she took aback when she saw him kneeling and crying on the ground while asking for her forgiveness. She took them back her words.

One Possessive Director

The next day Zoey reached their office building on time, although she was just late on her self set time, she still timed herself in exactly at 8 am.

As usual, her desk is once again filled with reports she needs to check and analyze. Why is it the higher your position is, the greater your responsibilities will be? When she saw her desk, the only she can do is to scratch her nape and pretend to be optimistic that she can finish these papers on time within the day.

Before her butt landed on her chair, the door opens, Nickel, her boss, entered the room then place his messenger bag on his table.

Drowned with the book he is reading, he didn't notice that Zoey is currently checking him out.

"In fairness to this guy, his shoulder is as broad as the washboard Manang is using to wash her clothes when she was young." "Really? Zoey? Did you use a washboard to compare Nickel's board shoulders? Creative, I'm must say."

She was lecturing herself, when she also notices the way Nickel, push his hair back. At some point, she and Nickel have the same mannerism of pushing one's hair back.

Now, Zoey's bangs are long enough to be considered as one; she doesn't tuck her hair in with any hair clip as she used to when she chops her bangs on her own uses kitchen scissors.

It was due to her extreme boredom and addiction from Asian Drama wherein most of the female lead actresses pulled their unique bangs on screen. Because of that, she went to her bathroom, took the kitchen scissors and start cutting her own hair. She regretted it right away she saw the outcome of her experiment and later on promised not to cut her crowning glory again.

While staring at him, Zoey felt a mini shock when their eyes meet. 'Wait, what the fuck is that?' She asked herself.

Avoiding to further look into each other's eyes, Zoey shifted her gaze to the bookshelf behind Nickel. Soon the day for the two began.

Four hours had passed, a knock popped their concentration bubbles. A canteen employee is here to deliver their meal, he then said, "Ma'am and Sir, I'm here to bring your food."

He placed two bento containers on each table. After serving their meals, he excused himself and went back to the cafeteria.

A loud growling sound echoed the room from the two as soon as they smelled the delicious flavor of their bento, Nickel and Zoey suddenly felt hungry with the smell alone.

They set aside the papers on their desk and start consuming their lunch meal.

In the cafeteria.

Male and female employees were checking the cafeteria entrance door. Waiting for the arrival of their prince and goddess.

When the employees saw their COO, girls praised the heaven and earth for giving them the prince that they have wished for; also when the boys saw their Accounting Officer, they feel blessed to the extent that they become motivated to their jobs just have a glimpse of their goddess. Whilst the benefits and compensation in ASC are pleasing, this cannot be compared to the beauties the company has.

Unfortunately for them, one possessive director order to have a meal delivery every lunchtime to keep his BAE from everyone. He will not allow any disgusting fly to pester his babe.

Disappointed. Employees inside the cafeteria lost their appetites when they see that the two will not go down and have their meals in the cafeteria. With that, they just tried to finish their food and go back to their stations.

"I curse our officer for not wanting to share the same room with the accounting department. We lost the chance to see Ma'am Zoey all day long. It should be us!" One male employee from the IT Department said.

"Officer Liao should take this once in a lifetime opportunity to share the station with the administration department. I want to see Director Fuentes every day. He gives me the inspiration to live."

"I will be like a blooming flower, seeing Director Fuentes will ask as water to me, my source of life and happiness."

"Accounting and administrative staffs are such a lucky bastard. Can we ask for position rotation? I want to shift roles with anyone from Accounting Department."

It was just the second day of operation but employees were all bewitched by the charm of our couple. It was just the second operation day of ASC, but it seems like employees were all bewitched by our couple and motivated to go to work just to see these two.

Inside the manager's room of Station A.

Simultaneous sneezing can be heard in the room. Every time one sneeze the other will bless it.

"Did someone remember me?" Zoey asked herself while wiping herself with a tissue.

She finished her meal then throw the bento container in the trash bin. Before the day ends, the housekeepers take their trash. They don't have to worry about the smell it will leave overnight.

She starts what she left ago as she has no need time to dawdle for she has a lot of things to do.

Zoey was calculating and searching for supporting documents for her party reconciliation. When Nickel laid his eyes to her.

With no particular reason, he just loves the fact that they share the same room; the chance to see her, to talk to her.

Let us say that all of this is his plan, knowing that other officer feared him except for Zoey. He immediately called for a short meeting after the party.

Whereas seat assignment can be done on the first day itself, he still gathered the remaining officer on that day.

"Liao please assign each department now, thus on Monday, everything will be organized. I don't want to see to dillydally any department on Monday."

May startled when she heard his order, actually she expected to assign stations on Monday but now that the Director is asking to proceed it now, she cannot complain anymore.

With the use of her iPad, she opened the floor layout of the building.

"There are seven stations on the second floor, four of which are fully furnished and the three are still under construction.

Station A is big enough to accommodate two departments, Stations B, C, and D is for one department each."

She tried to show the floor layout and explain the arrangement she has, but...

"To be fair, as it the first organization that I supervise, I will allow you to pick whichever station you want." Nickel pause for a while and check the floor layout on May's iPad. "I want my administration department to be in Station A. Anyone of you can share it with me if you want."

As of now, ASC has only five organized departments. May and Zoey are the only female officer that they have.

IT and Engineering Officers think that it will be awkward for them to share the room with the COO, thus they picked the two separate stations.

As for May, she wanted to share but afraid to be around all the time with Director Fuentes. Say that she admires him, but she also fears his temper. To save herself from future homilies and errors, she also took the last separate room.

"So it looks like Zoey and her team will be sharing Station A with us."
