The fragments of the past is the only thing that keeps me alive. My purpose in life is to continue living until I meet him again. The only person who gave color to my life. Years and years ago he was forced to leave me and my life turned to black an...
I'm getting impatient. The results are getting longer and my patience is getting shorter. The questions in my head were like a stream that keeps on flowing endlessly. My head is aching As anxiety is driving me crazy.
"Miss Memphis?" I heard someone calling a name but I only noticed it when someone tugged my arm for attention. "What's going on?" Miss Sassy seriously asks me with a cold expression.
"Oh, I'm sorry ma'am, she absorbed a high dosage of coffee a while ago. Don't worry she will be fine." I heard Madison beside me while holding my arm. I smiled apologetically at Miss Sassy.
"Thanks." I whispered to Madison when Miss Sassy walked away. After a while, Miss Sassy came back. She called for me so I immediately went to her which was an open office. Miss Georgia and the other people with positions were there too. They curiously glanced at me while I pass through their desks.
"Get your things. You're free to go. I don't need an employee like you." She clearly spoke when we reached her desk. The people around whispered to each other while shaking their heads in surprise.
"Ehem!" Miss Georgia simply smiles and stands beside me. "I'll take her in to my team." She held my files from the table and took me to her desk. "Join my team, I hope you're able to handle it." She sweetly smiles and I thanked her. When I glanced at Miss Sassy, I can see her pissed expression.
I worked hard under the furniture designs. Though I was a bit slow but I can quickly finish it when I'm focused inside my room.
"This one is exquisite. Who did this?" I was sitting with the team inside a large room where we design furnitures digitally or manual sketch when I heard a faint conversation from a distance. the man's voice was familiar to my ear.
"I'll show her to you." There's footsteps coming while I'm very busy putting colors and shades with my second design for a couch. "Miss Memphis?" When my name was called, I immediately stand up and locked the screen of the tablet.
"Good morning! What can I do for you?" I fixed my dress first then faced them.
!!!
The blood drained from my face when I saw who's standing infront of me with Miss Georgia.
"Miss Memphis, this is our young CEO, Arron Bland. He wants to meet you because of your design." Miss Georgia gladly introduce the unexpected person that wants to see me.
"Good morning, sir. I hope you appreciate my design." I forced to smile like my mouth is ripping off. When I looked at his face, he looked like he's trying to recognize me.
"Sir, are you alright?" Miss Georgia looks at his face and he's shakes his head.

"I'm feeling well. She just looks familiar." He glanced at me again with a wondering face. "Where did I met you?"
"We never met!" I quickly answered while still smiling with my teeth. Miss Georgia feels like she's invisible because of Arron still staring at me.
"She's simply beautiful, Sir Arron but Miss Brazen will be displeased." Miss Georgia seems like giving Arron a piece of reminder where Arron immediately gets back to his usual self.
"I'm sorry. By the way, your design will be in the magazines. It's beyond perfect!" He quickly turns his back and Miss Georgia gave me a thumbs up while walking away with him.
"He really looks sad and stressed. Glad he's still coping up after everything." I heard the people behind me and glanced at them. "Sir Arron's wife was missing. The wedding was supposed to be next month but she suddenly disappeared a month ago." One of them approaches me for me to know what they're talking about.
"Have you seen the dark circles under his eyes? He might have taken it hard specially because he has this position and it's difficult to handle it." They started gossiping while I'm just listening.
"Is there any progress with the case?" I joined them and we prepared our snacks in the table. Everyone shakes their heads.
"All of us were suspecting his stalker who always runs crazy around him but they said she wasn't seen around during that day." Some agreed and some didn't.
"They found a car that crashed down the cliffs. There's a dead hideously big guy near the ruins but no body of Miss Brazen was found. Some said she's kidnapped and some said she's hiding away from her assailants." They continued discussing while having snacks and I listen carefully with what they heard about.
"Miss Brazen used to work here." They glanced at me and I looked at them.
"Yeah, I kept hearing her name from my workmates. She should have been my boss but I wasn't lucky because I arrived late." I cut their words so they know that I used to work from the toy area before I landed here with them.
"Does anyone of them became very close to her?" One of them asked and I shook my head as an answer.
"She's friendly and close to everyone but her private life wasn't involved." I finished eating and stand up to see the glass wall watching the city below the hills.
"Miss Brazen is always in trouble." The faint words made me turn towards them. I pretended to be intrigued.
"What if her disappearance was involved with those previous cases she has encountered?" Another one spoke.
"That's impossible but you have a point. Smutty and the previous boss of hers has possible connections. Imagine the Scourge's wife who was an international businesswoman. If they combine their wrath and power, it could turn against Miss Brazen." Everyone agrees and that's where I stepped away to continue my work.
"Brazen, your father's sick." Jack suddenly called and I immediately went to the hospital after I was dismissed.
"Is everyone in there?" I concealed my identity before going in the hospital. Jack said that I will be introduced as his girlfriend so they won't be suspecting who am I to them.
"You have a very pretty girlfriend, Jack." My father smiles as we stand next to his bed. I want to hug him tight in my arms, ask if he's fine, why he forgot to take care of himself but I resisted.
"Oh, don't be offended Miss Memphis. You really are very pretty like our daughter, Brazen. I wish she's here." My mother was on the other side giving dad a spoon feeding. I smiled as I can see their sweet affection to each other.
"Wherever she might be, you know she's also worried about everyone of you." My tears start to flow as the words came out of my mouth so I intentionally dropped my handkerchief and bow down to pick it up and wipe my eyes.
"Did Arron care to drop by?" Jack suspiciously asked to see if he even cares about my family. My parents happily nod.
"Of course, that boy is so caring about us. He even insisted to pay for the bills but we refused so he brought medicines and fruits as a gift." Mom happily pointed the foods displayed at the tables.
