I ran into the hospital breathing heavily like someone who just ran a marathon for nine hours straight.

My lungs feel clogged and I keep gasping for air as different unpleasant thoughts keep running through my head and I hope and praye what I heard wasn't true or that at least the worst was over now.

I ran towards the nurse at the reception who raised her brows cautiously as soon as she saw me panting like I was on the verge of dying.

"How can I help you? Do you need some water?" She asked politely, eyeing her colleague who quickly rushed to get me a glass of water.

"My relative was brought in here about an hour ago and I was informed it's a car accident. I want to see him," I breathe out quickly, gulping down the glass of water she handed to me.

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

"M...Martin Deville," I te

"I swear to God, I can't stand mom anymore!" I hissed, angrily barging into Corey's room.

"Now, tell me why the hell you barged into my room and don't forget to explain to me why I should care about your problems with mom?" He asked in a mock annoyed tone and I huffed at his childish behavior.

"That is exactly why I'm here to hide out from mom cause I know this is the last place she'd think to look for me," I snapped back at him and his facial expression turned s

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.

I walked into the elevator and the familiar face of Liam put a smile on my face.

"Hi." I greeted shyly, ea
