Lie To Me

Chapter 15: 15

I didn't even bother to turn on the light in my living room and go straight to my room.

I immediately dialed Hans’ number for instructions to call him when I got home.

"I'm home." I said. "You?" I also asked.

"We'll be off by ten, we will just finish your last detail." He answered. I nodded to myself.

"All right. Finish it right away so you don't have to spend the night. Text me when you get home." I said.

"Okay. Good night, Ja." He did. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

"Good night. Be careful coming home, okay?"

"Okay." He answered then we hung up.

I changed and cleaned my body and then went out again to make something to eat in the kitchen.

I'm too lazy to cook so I just ate oatmeal, then went back to my room to rest.

My days were repeatedly like that. Wake up in the morning to go to work and go home at night to sleep.

I don't know when my routine started to be like this, or have I really been like this since I moved here to

Manila and I just don't notice it because I'm busy forgetting?

I do not know.

I was about the dozed off when a loud bang startled me. I almost jumped on the bed as my chest

heaved.

My heart was beating fast and I felt like I was going to run out of breath

"What's that?' I asked myself. My heart was still beating fast.

"Is that from here?" I asked again. Simultaneously close the ear to the wall that separates my unit and

the neighbor's unit.

The division is not as thick as the others. It used to be a big unit to me and on the other hand, it was

just separated when your former owner left and separated.

But I didn't hear any noise, only small crackles until it was completely silent.

I just left the room and peeked out my door. It was clean and the scattered boxes were gone. Maybe

with what you fell across earlier.

I shrugged it off. I went back inside and ignored that.

Luckily, I was able to sleep immediately. Maybe it's been tired and awake for a few days.

My next days were all the same, work-house, work and home only. I was like that for almost a week

until my body couldn't really handle it. It took a toll on my health.

I got sick.

I also had a fever for three days and the sermon I got from Hanz was too much. He wants me to take a

sick leave but I refused to. I'll just go back to work and then leave again?

Maybe Mikael will kick me out of his company.

So even though my whole-body hurts, I still go in, I just stare at the house. Edi I'm just here in the

office, I've been productive.

But I feel like I'm going to collapse now. You are tired and sleepy that I have been trying to cope with

these past few days, I can't stand it anymore.

I'm going to faint!

I don’t know how I’m going to re-react. As far as I know, in front of me now is Arianne, the HR

coordinator of the company and with someone even though she hasn't introduced herself yet, I already

know her very well.

"Good morning, Ms. Astrid. I just brought the programmer you re-requested. He's Russel Perez." He

said as he handed me his resume.

Holy shit!

Is it okay to hurt a HR coordinator?
