I have had enough.

Lucy's POV

I closed my eyes shut, waiting to feel his lips on mine. This is the only opportunity I have to feel his soft succulent lips on mine, cause when he sobers up, he will become the mannerless CEO I know, but this guy right here is the guy I fell for.

I felt something on my shoulder, I opened my eyes and met his head resting on my shoulder, making me sigh in disappointment. He was fast asleep.

“ How can he sleep now ?” I grumbled. I can kiss him now that he is asleep, but I wanted him to take the initiative first. I raised his head from my shoulder, staring at his sleepy figure.

“ Hey, wake up, finish what you started” I slapped his cheeks lightly, but the dummy didn't move. How am I even sure he wanted to kiss me ?, Anyway, it doesn't matter.

“ Please wake up” I slapped his cheeks a little harder but got no response. The bartender looked at me like I had gone Gaga, but who cares, only if he knows how I crave for that lips.

I sighed, bringing out my purse from my bag. I stared at the money i have in my purse and bit my lips. If I pay for the drinks, I will only have 50 bucks left.

“ No I can't do that” I dipped my hand into his suit jacket, in search of his wallet but found nothing. His phone was lying on the table, if only I knew his password, I would have transferred the amount.

“ How can you drink until you are wasted, when you didn't bring your wallet” I slapped his head. I paid the bartender, grabbing my bag, his phone, and jacket, I stood up.

I helped him up and used my right hand in supporting him as we walked out of the bar.

Getting to where his car was parked, I knocked on the door and Oscar opened the door immediately.

“ Is he okay, ma'am?”

“ Yeah, just drunk". He opened the door, I pushed Mr. Santiago in, laying him flat. I adjusted his body, so he won't feel discomfort.

He opened his eyes, blabbering trash I didn't understand.

“ Shhh, it okay" i patted his hair and he went back to sleep.

I came out, jamming the door, and rushed to the front.

“ Please take care of him” I said, handling his phone and jacket to him.

“ Yes ma'am "he nodded his head and drove off.

“ Wait!!! My purse "I opened my bag, going through it but found nothing, recalling I left it on the table, I rushed back into the bar ,but it wasn't there .

" I left my purse here, did you see it? " I asked the bartender, and he gave me a negative answer.

“ Ohhh my gawd” I dipped my fingers into my hair, ruffling it. What do I do? How do I get home? . The last money I had was inside that purse, I cried out in frustration, walking out of the bar.

I pulled out my sandals from my bag, pulling off my shoes, I replaced it with my sandals. Thank God I brought my sandals to work. Since the day Mr. Santiago made me wait for thirty minutes in his office standing, I started coming to work with my sandals and today, it came in handy.

I wore my bag on my neck and breathed in as I began the Marathon race.

The ride from the bar to my house is one-hour journey by bus and it quite late (8:30pm), so if i wanna get home really quick, I need to run .

1 hour 30 minutes

I got to my apartment, opening my bag, I pulled out my key and unlocked the door. I rushed in, shutting the door, panting like a thief who escaped from jail. My whole body was full of sweat, making me feel irritated. I raised my right hand up, perceiving my armpit.

“ Ewwww" it stinks, I felt like purking . I threw my bag away, pulling off my clothes as I rushed into the bathroom.

Minutes later, I walked out, feeling refreshed. I opened my wardrobe, picking out a white baggy shirt and trousers. I scurried out of my room, entering the kitchen as I made fruit salad. I sat on the kitchen stool, munching my meal. My mind flashed back to my purse, just thinking about it made me sad.

“ I lost my 50 bucks” I cried out. I know most people think it little, but to me, it isn't. I lost my money because of that arrogant boss, and he won't even appreciate my effort.

“ That son of a scum "i cursed …….

Writer's POV

Richard's eyes flung open, sitting up, he realized he was in his room. “ How did I get here? " He muttered. The only thing he could remember was being with Lucy at the bar.

His door flung open, revealing Martha, who held a bowl of soup.

“ You are finally awake," she said, dropping the bowl of soup on the table and sitting on the bed." One sibling came back home angry and the other came back home drunk. What happened between you both?”.

“ I don't want to talk about it, " he replied, which earned him a hard slap on his shoulder.

“ Ouch Martha, it hurt” he massaged his shoulder.

“ The next one will be even more painful, now start talking ".

“Okay” he finally explained everything that happened at the restaurant.

“ Ohhh, look, I have nothing much to say. All I want to say is, it isn't healthy for two siblings to fight, so I will advise you to go and apologize "she stood up giving him a peck.

“ Okay, right after I take this soup "he took the bowl of soup and scooped a spoon into his mouth. He received another hard slap on his shoulder, making him choke.

“ What now?” He grumbled.

“ Your breath stinks. Brush your teeth, then have the soup” with that, she walked out.

He entered his bathroom, washed his teeth and came out. He sat down, scooping the bowl of soup.

Finally, he was done, he got down from the bed and immediately went to Bianca's room. He kept knocking on the door but got no reply.

“ Bianca, I know you are inside. If you are listening, I just want you to know I'm sorry about everything that happened, mostly for hitting you. Please open up so I can apologize and explain myself, " he sighed frustrated when he got no answer. He turned back to leave but heard the door knob being open, he turned back and saw Bianca. He flashed her a smile, which she returned with a massive frown.

“Whatever you have to say, say it quick and leave, " she gave way for him to enter.

“ Bianca, I know you have every right to be mad at me "he said, immediately he walked in and faced her. She said nothing, he took it as a sign to go ahead.

“ Look, I don't hate you, I don't just want you to get hurt. I thought the whole guys dating you were only after your money. Scarlett and I parted ways because I found out she never loved me but was only after my money, even though I knew, I decided to give her another chance, but she left me for a richer guy, so I thought the guys you dated were just like her. I don't wanna see my little sister in tears but i will respect whatever decision you make, just be happy "he added, walking to the door, suddenly Bianca hugged him.

“ I'm so sorry Richard, I shouldn't have disrespected you, please forgive me, " she whispered.

“ I can never get angry at you” he disengaged her hand from his belly, turning to face her. He raised her forehead, kissing her forehead, which made her smile.

“ I love you, " she uttered.

“ Love you more sis, I'm late for work, see you later "he ran out.

Twenty minutes later, he walked out of the mansion fully dressed with his suitcase. Oscar sighted him and ran to him, taking his suitcase.

“ Good morning Mr. Santiago” he greeted opening the back seat.

“Morning Oscar” he replied, entering the car. Oscar walked to the driver seat, he ignited the car, ready to move but stopped.

“ Is something wrong?” Richard asked.

“ No sir, just wanted to give you this” He brought out Richard's phone, handing it over to him. “ Ms Vega asked me to give you, but I forgot to do that last night”.

“Thank you” he collected the phone. “ Can we move now ?”

“ Yes sir "Oscar ignited the car and drove off In a frenzy.

Getting to work, he met Lucy. He had the urge to ask her how he got back home, but his ego wouldn't let him.

“ Good morning sir” she greeted, immediately she sighted him.

“ Morning, reschedule the meeting of yesterday to 1pm and also change the location”.

“ Yes sir, anything else?" She asked as they both walked into his office.

" Emmmmmm Lucy ".

" Yes sir ".

" Nevermind, also get the files that needs my signature" he added taking his seat.

Lucy's pov.

I entered into his office to submit the files he asked for , suddenly i tripped, my butt landing on the floor , making the files scatter.

" Why can't you do your work properly for once?" He yelled out.

" I'm sorry sir " i picked the files up and stood up massaging my butt.

" Sorry for yourself you incompetent fool" he replied giving me a stern look.

Why does he derive joy in insulting me. I tripped by mistake, can't he just understand that. I held the tears that threatened to trickled down . Dropping the files on the table , i apologized once more .

" Austin made a mistake hiring you, now get out of my office" he spat out. I scurried to the door but stopped when he called me back.

" Yes sir".

" Get a mob to wipe the floor your wretched butt landed on " I stared at him with shock written on my face. How could he call me wretched? I know I'm poor but that doesn't give him the right to insult me .

I stared at him with anger written on my face, I will rather give him a piece of my mind than sit here and watch him insult me as he pleases.

" I have had enough of your rubbish, I won't take it anymore " I yelled..
