Just when I was about to leave the house to go to the office! The phone started to ring. I answered it!

“Hello.”

“Hello Mia!”

I instantly recognised this voice!

“Grandma”

“Yeah how are you?”

“I'm fine and you?”

“I'm fine too!”

Well Mia I was hoping if you would like to come and spent some days with me?

“Of course Grandma, I would love too!”

“Great! Then you let me know when?”

“Okay! I'll call you tonight and let you know!”

“Okay then bye!”

“Bye”

I'm so happy that finally I would be able to see my grandma. After the death of my parents in a car accident she was the one who took care of me. Now that I'm resigning from this job I would have plenty of time for her and I think I would go and stay with her! I am always happy after I talk to her! She understands me so well even without me saying anything to her. Now I just have to give my resignation letter!

I got in my car and drove to the office. I think that I've made the right decision after all. I cannot work with this guy! He kissed me first then tells me to forget it.

Unbelievable!

I arrive in the office and greet Jordan.

“Hey Jordan” I said for the fifth time.

She lifts her head!

“Oh hey Mia I'm sorry. I had zone out!”

“It's ok” I asked her if everything was fine.

“No, there's no problem.”

I knew that there was a problem but I did not force her to tell me. When the right time comes she'll tell me.

“Gabriel is in his cabin?”

“Yeah”

“Ok then! See you later!”

I knocked on the door and someone asked me to come in.

And I opened the door to see Jacob there. I did not want to face him after yesterday.

“Where is Gabriel?” I asked him.

“He has gone to take something from his car.”

“Oh! Give this to him when he comes please.”

“What is this?”

“I’m resigning.”

“What?”

“Just give this to him.”

I did not want to face Gabriel as I know he will make me rethink on my decision and in the end I’ll won’t resign. It's not that I have a soft corner for him but he has helped me through my hard times.

Suddenly the door opened! It was Gabriel.

“Hey Mia”

“Hey Gabriel!” I greeted him back.

‘It's too late to go now’ I murmured. Bad Luck!

“Gabriel, Mia asked me to give this to you.” Jacob said giving Gabriel my resignation letter.

Oh my god I knew I had to leave before Gabriel came!

“Mia what's this?”

“Gabriel I have to leave this job!”

“But why?” he asked.

“I have my own reasons. I cannot tell you. I'm sorry.”

I never wanted to do this to him. He is such a good guy and he is such a good friend of mine.

“If this is your choice then I don't have anything to say.”

I was about to say I'm sorry but was cut off by Gabriel.

“But Mia let me know if you change your decision!”

“I don't think so Gabriel, I'm going to stay with my grandma.”

“Ok! I guess this will be the last time I'm seeing you.” He asked me.

“Yeah” I said feeling a tear coming out.

Gabriel put his hand forward and I jumped and hug him. He was hugging me back too. Just then someone cleared his throat and we both turned and saw Jacob looking at us. I forgot that he was here. He seems very angry! Before he says something I turned to Gabriel and gave him a peck on the cheeks and said bye. I also said bye to Jordan who cried a lot and to my other colleague.

I was now in my car, crying! I'm sad that I have to leave all my friends. I came home and fatigue took over me and I don't know for how many hours I slept. When I wake up I took out my pink nightie and went to have a shower. I let the water pour down on my body so that I don't have feel too much tiredness. I came out of the shower. I lift my head to see the time.

OMG it's already nine O'clock. How many hours I've slept? Just then I remember to call my grandma. It's already nine. I just hope she didn't go to sleep. I ran downstairs and was about to call her when suddenly the doorbell rang!

‘Who is it at this time?’

I twisted the door handle and I froze!

“You, What are you doing here?” I said blocking his way from entering.

“Won't you let me in?”

I was debating whether to let him in or not? I mean it's Jacob Max! Just then he pushed the door and came in.

“Hey” I shouted at him while closing the door. He turned to me. I was confused and he was smirking. He looked at me from head to toe. I followed his eyes and I put a hand on my mouth. I was blushing.

Boy how could I forget? Me Mia Isabella was standing with a towel wrapped around her body in front of Jacob Max!

“Just give me a minute!”

I ran towards my bedroom. I could feel Jacob eyes on me all the way there. I quickly changed in my nightie. I went back downstairs and saw Jacob looking around the house. I wonder what he is thinking!

“So how come you are here?” I said.

He looks at me once again from head to toe. I was starting to feel uncomfortable.

“Can I have some coffee?”

“What? You came here because you want coffee?”

“No” He laughed.

OMG he looks so cute when he is laughing. What is happening to you Mia? I thought to myself.

“I was thinking of discussing something with you over coffee.”

“Okay! Wait.” I said before going in the kitchen. I went in the kitchen and prepared coffee for both of us.

“Here!”

“Thanks.”

“What happened?” I asked him.

“I came here to tell you that you can't quit the job.”

“What?”

“Yeah, you cannot.” He said drinking his coffee.

“But why?”

“Because when you started to work you signed a contract of one year and now you can't leave because it is not even one year of work.”

Stupid me! I forgot about this damn contract.

“And if you do not join back tomorrow then I'll have to sue you for breaking contract.”

“Gabriel won't do this to me.”

He smirked. “Gabriel cannot say anything in this matter as it’s me who takes the final decision. Remember 90% ownership!”

I'm screwed! I thought. I cannot find anyway to get out of this mess.

“After one year you can resign nobody will stop you.”

“Okay then! I'll join you tomorrow.”

“Well! See you tomorrow Mia!”

“Same to you!” I said to him before he was gone.

I jumped on the couch. This damn contract! I don't have too much money to fight against the company. I'm sure they will win in the end. I guess I will have to go to work tomorrow!

My phone started ringing and I picked it up without looking at the I.D.

“Hello.”

“Mia?”

“Grandma, I was just about to call you.” I didn't want to break her heart.

“Mia will you come to see me?” she asked me.

“Grandma I'm sorry. I won't be able to make it. It's just that my company has made a loss and another person bought it and now I have to help in explaining everything and so on. I'm sorry.”

“It's ok Mia. When you get holidays from your work you can come.”

“Thank you grandma, you are such a sweetheart!”

I can hear her laugh. “Thank you my sweetie.”

“Aww grandma I'm big now!”

“For me you are still my sweetie!”

“Bye grandma!”

“Bye Mia!”

I grabbed my covers and pillows and went on the couch to sleep.
