Grace’s POV

288 rouchers

Time seems to slow down. Antonio pushes me out of the way as Cecilia collapses on the floor. He flips her on her back, lifting her into his arms and rushing her to the hospital as soon as the elevator doors open.

I pick up my phone, still in shock. The screen is shattered because of his push, but I just go out of the building and all for a taxi to meet up with the property manager.

Time passes, and now I’m back to the office. I sit down, and immediately I see a package on the table. It’s a cheesecake in a jar, and it’s from Antonio. I frown at it, knowing that I’ve seen this exact thing somewhere else.

Half an hour ago, I saw this same cheesecake in a jar on Cecilia’s instagram, even though she must have been taken to the hospital because of her recent fall.

Still, I check my instagram again to see if I saw everything right, and I did.

“Sweets from my sweet baby,” the caption says, showing a bunch of little sweets in jars that are very similar to the one i

have on my table right now.

Antonio swings by to my office casually, looking at the dessert on my table and frowning when he sees that it’s unopened and ignored.

“Grace?” he asks. “Why didn’t you open this? Do you not want to eat it? What’s with all the coldness today? I’m pretty sure I didn’t do anything to incur your wrath.”

I don’t reply to him. I just get up and head to my printer. “Excuse me, I need to print my documents. You can leave now if you want.”

He leaves indeed, and when I come back with my papers, he’s not there anymore.

The only thing that he left behind is a note that says, “When you’re done with the attitude, come and see me.”

That pushes me to the edge> I crumple the note and dump it in the trash along with the dessert he gave me. I can’t do this anymore. I can’t have them in my life anymore.

I print out a resignation letter and head to my director’s office. She reads it and stares at me.

“Are you sure about this?” she asks. “Because you’re one of the good ones here and I would hate for you to leave.”

“I’m sure about this,” I tell her.
