Who is this Friend?
“Are you sure we should go?” Arya asked, her voice struggling to remain firm.The doubt in her eyes was so bright that Brian could see it glittering.“You sound like you are scared of her.” He remarked, taking a step toward her.Arya grunted, then she hissed while she moved her eyes away for a second.“You don’t know Sarah Hopkins, Brian. You have only met her once. I attended the same college as her. She was a bitch, and she is still a bitch.” She grunted, so much annoyance etched on her face.Brian watched her struggle with the sensation that gripped her, yet he never got rid of his smile. “Why are you smiling, Brian?!” Arya asked as soon as she noticed the beam on his face, frowning instantly.“Why does it seem like you don’t understand how serious this situation is?”Brian took a deep breath, then he grabbed her hands, still holding onto his smile.“Sarah Hopkins invited us to an event, and we are going. It’s as simple as that.” “No. It’s not that simple.” Arya shook
At the Event
“Are you sure about this?” Arya still couldn’t get rid of her doubt, her voice shaking from the inside.“Maybe we should just go back home, Brian. Or better still, go somewhere and spend the evening. I don’t think I…”“That’s enough.” Brian grabbed her hand and squeezed gently.His smile was evergreen, his sparkling white teeth glittering as he parted his lips.“We are already here, darling. You cannot look like a queen and refuse to show them. They don’t entirely deserve to see your radiance, but let it be a privilege for once.”“Stop.” Arya blushed again, covering her mouth while she giggled. She sighed heavily, gathering enough momentum.Her eyes went to the tall building, and she could already hear voices on speakers from the inside. “Alright…” She nodded, her voice struggling to stay intact.“Let’s do this…” She finally agreed, prompting Brian to alight from the vehicle.He got the door for her and helped her get out before he shut it. Next, he grabbed her waist and
Unexpected Reunion
“Arya!” The first lady- the blonde hurried to grab Arya, then she pecked her on both cheeks. “You have not changed at all! You still look the same! As beautiful as always!”Arya chuckled softly, then she proceeded to reply with a polite tone. “Thank you, Trisha. You don’t look bad yourself.”“Oh, really!” Trisha showcased her dress, waving her hands as she turned around.“I got it from one of the best stores when I went on my last vacation. It cost me about twenty-five thousand dollars.”“Wow!” The other lady- Reina exclaimed, nodding as she admired the blue dress. “Mine cost about fifteen thousand dollars. My man got it for me.” She said proudly, pointing to the young man standing beside her. “Same as me,” Trisha stated, turning to kiss the other man. “That’s enough, you girls!” Sarah grunted, rolling her eyes at the kissing partners.“Maybe we should get you guys a room. I could arrange for that.” She said with so much sarcasm in her tone, still attempting to hide her
Incapable Brian
“Why do you think so?” Morgan retorted, turning to look at Brian.He had expected him to defend himself, but his silence lingered. “Because his company has been going through a very rough time even before he stole the position of CEO from the rightful owner. My father has been trying to help them by giving them a deal. I told him to try some other company, but he still insists on helping small businesses..”“Oh, Sarah! That’s so sweet of your Dad!” Reina stated, causing Sarah to chuckle softly.She turned to Arya, and seeing the anger on her face, she took a deep breath while searching for the first word to begin with.“Come on, Arya. I am sure Sarah didn’t mean it that way. She was trying to make sure that Trisha’s husband didn’t get scammed. He has a reputation to protect, you know?”Arya grunted while she listened to everything Reina spewed.The look on her face expressed irritation, but it didn’t seem like anyone cared about her countenance. She turned to Sarah, then sh
Worthless Stones
Everyone was already staring with their necks stretched. Their eyes refused to blink as they stared at the shiny stone. “I don’t think that’s a real diamond, Trisha.” Sarah broke the silence, almost dousing the excitement on Trisha’s face. “Are you sure?” Trisha asked with a fading tone, taking a look at the ring one more time before she returned her gaze to Sarah.“It looks real though…” Reina stated after she had observed for a while. “Tell me about it…” Sarah scoffed, turning to look at Arya with a smirk. “How could Arya’s husband be able to afford a diamond ring for his wife? Even his entire company is not worth the amount of a diamond.” “Maybe Arya bought it herself,” Trisha suggested, turning to face Arya. “You know she won that Power Line deal recently. She still has more than enough money to spare.” “That’s so sweet of her. Covering up for her husband’s incapability.” Reina said, then she sniggered. Arya turned to Brian again, and she could see that his smi
Strike to Tell
Everyone nodded, everyone except Arya. They were all eager to see the outcome, their excitement written on their faces.“Give him the rings, Brian! Or are you scared?!” Sarah urged, her sinister smile permanent at that time. “Go on, Brian. Give him the rings.” Trisha added, almost forced to rise on her feet. Arya turned to Brian, a flash of tension in her eyes.Her right fingers found themselves caressing the ring while she looked him in the eyes. Suddenly, the smile on Brian’s face vanished, and since she didn’t know what his new countenance meant, her heart skipped another beat.“I am still waiting, Brian.” Terry broke his silence, gesturing almost impatiently.Brian groaned inwardly, his expression plain and unreadable. His eyes turned to Arya, then he cleared his throat.“Let me have the ring.” He requested calmly, pointing to the ring Arya had covered with her fingers.She looked at the ring, then she slowly began to pull it out. It felt heavier than it looked,
Those are Real!
“My hand! It hurts!” Terry cried out while he let go of the bronze statue. He drifted backward, grabbing his left hand with the right.But the pain increased as he had forgotten that he already had an injury on his right hand.Eyes were gaping as though they were about to crawl from their sockets. Terry’s wrist was dislocated, tears gathering around his eyes.“Fuck!” He whimpered, the pain dragging his veins and getting into his brain.“Let me see!” Reina hurried to him, and this time, he let her grab his hands.“This is bad.” Reina was confused, looking from one hand to the other.“I think we should go to the hospital, Terry. Come on…” She dragged him away gently, turning to glare at Arya and Brian. Morgan moved closer to the table, then he grabbed the bronze statue and lifted it. He gasped as soon as he saw the mark and crack on the statue, and when he lowered his gaze, he saw that the diamond was completely unharmed and in place.“He wasn’t lying. Those are real diam
Donkey Instead
“Yes. I do.” Brian nodded, then he let go of Xavier’s hand.“You are Xavier Hopkins. Sarah’s Dad.” He took a deep breath while he watched Sarah hurry toward her father. “Are you okay, Dad?!” She asked with so much concern, staring at the arm Xavier was massaging. “You will regret this!” She threatened Brian, pointing him in the face.“My father will make you disappear! He will make you wish you never existed.” Xavier took a deep breath, but his chest was still puffing. He turned to Sarah, giving her a sign to be silent.“Let me handle this, baby.” He whispered, causing her to step aside.Sarah nodded with a sinister smile, already imagining what could become the outcome of her father’s wrath.“That’s the idiot that you were about to award the deal to, Dad. The CEO of SilverLine Tech!” She pointed at Brian, contempt brewing inside her. Xavier scoffed, still glaring at Brian. “What are the odds?!” He grunted, his rage increasing.The next second, Reina and Morgan appro
Wild Donkey
“I am waiting…” Xavier broke the suspenseful silence, his anger still written all over his face. “Go down on your knees and kiss my shoes. I know they are too shiny for a man like you. But for the sake of your wife, I will grant you that privilege.” Brian took a deep breath, then he nodded.The look on his face was stoic, meaning that he was very unpredictable at that moment.Slowly, he moved his eyes down, staring at the shoes Xavier had boasted about. Then he cleared his throat, lifting his eyes back to the man’s face.“I am sure everyone now understands why I called you a donkey, Mr. Hopkins…”There was another round of gasp, rising from one person to another.Arya began to panic, her throat getting dry as she stared at the middle-aged man.But Brian still had some more insults to rain at him, maintaining the wry smile on his face. “Your company made a wrong investment, Mr. Hopkins. You lost over fifty percent of your shares. Now the other stakeholders want to pull ou
The Secret
“Brian!” Arya gasped, then she turned to face Xavier.Her lips were shaky, her eyes staring at him widely.She felt the urge to apologize, but she couldn’t find her voice. “Please don’t make this worse than it already is, Brian.” She pleaded, her chest almost suffocating her heart. “Did you just say that to my father?!” Sarah fired on behalf of Xavier, but the middle-aged man was very livid. “You really have a death wish, Brian!” Sarah snorted, looking him in the eyes. Then she turned to Arya, still boiling inside her. “Your husband is in very big trouble, Arya. The only reason why we are going to let him leave this place in one piece is that I am so merciful and would want to give him the last chance because of our friendship. Tell him to apologize right now!” Arya saw the spite and rage in her eyes, but before she could say a word to Brian, he already broke his silence.“This is not going to take more than ten minutes, Babe. Just wait for me in the car, I will join y
