Working at AT without Jake has definitely not been a pleasant experience for me.

The new boss Corey, has made it his mission to frustrate me to no end and I'm starting to think Trisha is behind his ridiculous attitude towards me although part of the reasons could be our first encounter but judging by how mean and unfriendly he is, I'm going to assume it's cause of Trisha.

Rumor has it that Trisha has successfully seduced him and that she has him wrapped around her fingers. As much as I think it's true, I'm still hoping it's all just a rumor cause I can't imagine surviving Trisha's indirect taunts everyday. It's starting to drain me.

Right now, I'm on my way to the office from my lunch break with Martha, who decided to stop by a friend's office before coming back up.

"His name?" She asked and I almost couldn't say it cause it still sounds so crazy and unbelievable.

"M...Martin Deville," I te

"My head hurts." I complained to Layla as soon as she walked into my office.

"Should I get you some pain killers?" She asked.

"You shouldn't be asking that you fool and while you're at it, get me something to eat as well. I haven't had anything to eat today and I'm starving." I said to her and she nodded calmly before attempting to leave and then stopping abruptly.

"What now?" I asked irritatedly.

"I'm sorry miss, it's just that I forgot to tell you that a man by the name Martin Deville is here to see you and he says it's important." She informed me and I frowned.

What exactly does that fool want now?

"Let him in." I tell her and she gives a quick bow before walking out.

The annoying figure of Gabriella's best friend graces my vision and I immediately had a bad feeling about his visit. Martin isn't the type to just go around paying unnecessary visits to people, most es

"Hi? Really? Aren't we already way past that?" he teased me and I r
