All Chapters of Amidst Unexpected Misfortunes: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

I thought this day would turn out great. I guess wrong, then. I was shocked at the sudden impact and more so with my stained white dress. Fortunately, I ordered a cold drink, otherwise my chest might have burned. Wow. Just great. When I am really happy and excited to meet my day, there is another gimmick like this that suddenly comes. You can never be too happy in life, really."I'm really sorry, Miss. I admit, I really wasn't looking to where I'm walking. Don't worry, I'll buy you a new drink." Said the guy I bumped into. Wow. It's my first time to hear someone admitting their faults.I raised my left eyebrow and looked at him. Shocked is still evident on my face. Well, I'm not the only one who's surprised. Everyone here, are. Thanks to this, I eyed him from head to foot, guy. "Your reason is not a good excuse to compensate with the trouble you've caused." The barista earlier excused himself to give me a bunch of tissue paper. I nodded at him then I wiped my c

We've been busy cleaning up the mess Jacq made. She almost burned the whole house down. Ugh. Her reason was that she just wanted to suprise me after my meeting with the applicant, which happens to be our neighbor, by cooking my favorite food, but then she forgot to put the timer on and got distracted by the cat videos she was obsessing on some mobile app. She said that she did not realize the time and her attention only returned to what she was cooking when she smelled like something was burning. She already panicked so she quickly opened the oven door and saw that the pan inside was already on fire. She just pulled out the burning lasagna, not minding whether she would get burned or not. Unfortunately, she was burnt. I wish I had pity but in my case, my worries over the disaster that occurred were greater.And now the two of us are relaxing here on our patio. The two of us are still a bit in shock. Well, me most of all. What if he did not immediately remove the pan from

I'm now arranging the intended design for Mrs. Hughes' manor since I can't solely depend on my team for everything. I have to use my skills, somehow. I signed the papers that is in a folder that contains various designs for the manor. I kept the original copy of the designs in my hard drive in case something bad happens. I scheduled a video conference for Mrs. Hughes later this afternoon to discuss with her about the ongoing projects at her home and I planned to tell her about the Ellis incident. I can't hide things from my clients. That would only mean that I'm scamming them. Besides, it's there right to know everything. We don't want to lose their trust, do we?I pushed the button on my office telephone that is connected to line of Miss Palmer. She called minutes later. She's aking if I need something. I just told her to gather my team for a meeting. "At the conference room in 15 minutes and kindly, call me if they are already there. I'll just take a quick rest." I adde

I tugged at Julian's arm and told him to just go while my eyes are locked at Maverick's figure walking towards us. But Julian stayed like he didn't hear what I just said. "Listen, Davis. You need to go home now. Please." I pleadingly told him. He still stayed.I saw my best friend sprinting to catch up with Maverick but with my ex-boyfriend's long strides, he's in front of me in no time. I smelled liquor on him. Is he drunk? Jacqueline stopped on her tracks. "I told him to go home hours ago. I didn't know he stayed up waiting for you. I'm sorry Niane." She apologetically explained."Who is this guy? Huh?" I smelled the liquor in his breath as he speak to me. What the heck? "Am I that easy to replace, Niane?" He softly asked. I felt a sudden pang in my chest."She has the right to do anything she wants, Mav." Jacq said as she tried to pull Maverick away from us."Stay the hell out of this, Cassidy!" He angrily snapped at my best friend as h

"Okay, time to pack up guys. Good job for today. See you all on Monday." I gave them a big thumbs up after what I just said. I look at all of them and they just happily nod.It's been a week since my Pa told me to focus in here. I'm glad that I did obliged instead of reasoning out. It's only been, what? Seven days? But honestly, I enjoyed working and helping out these people. I got to know them all better. I didn't know they had a side like this. They treat each other like long time friends. Well, aside from this guy beside me.Julian never leave me unnoticed. His eyes always followed me. He seems to be my instant body guard. How did I know? Well, Siena * told me. One time, while I was helping out with the master's bedroom's layout, Siena slightly tap my shoulder to tell me that Julian is looking at me. I looked at Julian but he just averted his gaze. But sometimes, I really do caught him stealing glances at me. I don't what's up with him but I don't mind. I'm
