RM COMPANY, THE OFFICE, 3PM***
“Oscar?” Scarlett whispered, seeing him come out from the office.
He turned to her.
“Is Phil in?” She asked.
“He,,, hasn’t even called for me yet since morning” She further said.
“He just asked me to call you” Oscar said.
“Really?” She smiled and he nodded.
Oscar walked back in, and she adjusted her face, hair, and clothes before following him in.
“Sir…” She slowly called, looking at Phil whose head was down.
“Miss Scarlett?” He called, gently.
“Yes sir?” She answered.
“Drop all the files,,, documents and all on my desk now” He said.
“Huh,,, but why? Its not yet ti-
“No buts! Do as i say,,, and oh,,, drop your resignation letter too” He cut her off, abruptly.
“What?” She raised her brows, puzzled, and shocked.
“Why?,, When you were poke nosing,,, you never thought about the consequences?!”
“I…don’t understand”
“f_ck!” He screamed and stood up.
“Why would you call my dad and tell him about the séxual harassment, I got from Hera!” He huffed.
She blinked and shifted back a bit.
“He had to know the reason. He is your father! I didn’t want him disturbing us both on the same matter!!!” She yelled.
“So,, you shouting at me now, huh? Get out! Hand in your resignation letter now!!”
She breathed deeply and a tear ran down her eyes.
“I was so wrong about you” She sniffed and walked out.
She went to her desk, and took out the files, and documents.
She arranged them and also took the ones in her bag.
As she kept them in order, she couldn’t help but cry. written by sommy pearl f. on fb
3 HOURS LATER***
“She’s gone, I hope?” Phil asked,,after waking up from his nap.
“Yes” Oscar nodded.
Phil inhaled deeply and looked at his desk.
He saw all the files, and including her resignation letter.
“Next time,,, She’ll mind her business”
“…Huh,,, What’s this?” He muttered, seeing a pretty and nice notepad.
He took it, opened it, and began to go through it;
Dear Summer,
It’s Scarlett, *smiles*
You should remember me cause when you leave, I leave. Yes,, we are actually leaving together.
When I leave, I wonder who might miss me and who might not.
But I’m sure a lot of people will miss me.
Don’t shine your sun harshly on me cause I don’t like the heat.
Besides,, Mum made me a cardigan, and I really need to wear it tomorrow.
I’m sure I’ll get all sweaty and all that but I don’t care, I really need to wear it at least five times before I leave.
I also hope I’m guided to meet with my lost sister, Samantha.
I really wonder how’s she doing?
Is she fine? Is she suffering? Is she far? Is she near?
I hope she isn’t suffering and I certainly pray she’s near cause mum is gonna need her soon,
I’m not good with words,, but till we see no more.
For the main time, be good to me.
Phil flipped to another page.
Please, Winter,
Don’t make mum cry.
Don’t make anyone cry and even if they do, wipe their tears with your rain…
Too bad, I won’t be meeting you.
I’m not really good with words, but please,, let them not miss be much and I also have some wishes,,,
Be good to my sweetest mum.
Be good to my best lost sister.
Be good to be wonderful boss.
Be good to his family too.
Be good to Oscar, and to my loved ones and friends, including relations.
Winter, do not make them cry.
I know I’ll forever remain in their hearts.
From Scarlett.
“What’s this?” Phil muttered going through the notepad.
He flipped through it again.
“Bucket list? What’s this? Why does it sounds like she’s LEAVING?” Phil asked no one in particular, reading the whole thing.
Oscar peeped at the book.
“I’m not sure she’s leaving”
“You think?” Phil looked at him.
“Then,,, what exactly is she talking about here?”
Oscar nodded.
“I think she’s gonna die judging from the write up and all”
“Pardon?”
SCARLETT’S ROOM**
“Aish!! Where’s my book!” She shouted, scattering the room. written by sommy pearl f.
“What book?” Marie came in.
“Nothing exactly…”
Marie sighed.
“Don’t let the job get to you. Your CEO made a big mistake. He will come back for you”
“Indeed” Scarlett laughed.
“Where’s that silly book” She thought deeply, looking around.
NIGHT FALL**
Scarlett just took her drugs before taking the trash bag out in order to dispose it.
She threw it into the incinerator and turned to go back in when her eyes fell on Phil.
He had his car parked there, and he was standing close to it.
Seems he checked her personal information, got her house address and came over.
Scarlett ignored him and advanced to the gate.
“Scarlett?” She heard his soft whisper and she stopped.
“What do you want? Didn’t I drop all the things for you. Or,,, did I prolly forget something??” She asked, without facing him.
“I- he paused and walked closer to her.
“I’m really sorry” He sniffed.
“I…I never knew,, I’m sorry” He whispered, behind her, with his eyes brimming tears.
Scarlett never turned to him.
“What’s that supposed to mean?” She arched her brows.
“Please,,, don’t,,, don’t leave me. Don’t die,,, please” He was crying now.
Scarlett widened her eyes and was about to turn to his face, when his arms suddenly came around her, from behind.
He hugged her tightly and squeezed her into his arms.
“How,,,How did you-
“I’m sorry for prying but I couldn’t help it. You dropped your diary and I ended up- He paused and sniffed, hugging her tighter.
“reading it” He completed.
She sighed deeply and shrugged her shoulders.
“So,,, what do you want now? Forget about me coming back to that office cause I ain’t. I’m not gonna be your secretary anymore. Find another who would stay forever with you”
“Now,,,let go of me” She said, and pushed him off.
“Scarlett,, please” He sobbed.
Scarlett held her tears in.
“Get out. I don’t wanna see you!” She shouted.
Her eyes fell on the notepad which he was holding.
“Give me that!” She snapped and took it from him.
She was about to leave when he back hugged her again, resting his head fondly, against her shoulder.
“Scarlett,,, please…
“What do you want from me!!” She shouted bitterly, with tears flowing down in large quantities.
“Before you go at least,,, Let’s fulfill everything” He sobbed.
“What’s that?” She demanded.
“Your remaining bucket list” He muttered and she blinked her eyes a hundred times.
“Huh?”
