Rayner’s POV I have never felt this belittled all my life. Yes, Maci and Director Kim did say hurtful words to me but this was the highest of it all. I couldn't stop c*rsing him under my breath while I left his office, what did he take me for? A desperate girl he can just turn to his wife at the first meeting, sorry, second meeting? I was so furious that even the company driver didn't dare ask me how the meeting went because it didn't go well with the look on my face. He even had the guts to tell me to think about it. He is just too arrogant and I can't stand such a man. One who looks down on people is a no for me, and I won't want to take that risk ever. I got back to the office and rushed to the restroom to calm myself. I could feel how hot my face was, it would have turned red by now. When I returned I sat on my desk, “Hey, where is Director Kim?” I asked Carista whose seat was closer to mine. “He is in his office. He hasn't come out since you left. I guess he has a lot of w
Katherine's POVIt was morning and a new day at work, everyone had just come in when I saw Rayner entering Director Kim's office. I didn't find it strange at first because she returned to her desk almost immediately.For some days now, I have been finding it difficult to see a potential client. I keep wondering how she does it so easily. Honestly, I would have gone to meet her to ask her about it but hell no.She met me in this department and I hate her energy. She is just too proud, and I can't see myself asking her for help. I had asked Director Kim about it one time, but he told me he has no idea where she gets her clients from, maybe she is just good at it, he had said.I didn't believe that, and I never did. She could be a scheming woman who knows, but I don't care about her life outside work.I was still trying to look for clients on the net while keeping an eye on her. Her facial expression and the way she carried herself were sending a message I couldn't detect.A few minutes l
Rayner's POVWhen Director Kim said I was chosen, I didn't know where I got the strength to ask him by who, and eww… the same words came out of Katherine's mouth.I felt irritated just by saying the same word with her but there was no time to dwell on that feeling. Director Kim told Katherine to excuse us but I was already anxious.I kept tapping my right foot on the floor, which was audible to him, while he did everything to make sure Katherine walked out.“Director Kim, I need an explanation now,” I demanded, my voice laced with anger.After shutting the door, he walked back to his seat and slumped into it. He closed his eyes for a while then opened it quietly.All this time, I kept waiting for him and counting down. My patience was running out, but I knew he needed to calm down so he could speak, which was why I waited.“Rayner,” he said after reminiscing for a while. “I know you hate me right now.”“Yes, I do,” I fired at him, not waiting to hear what he had to say next.“That's b
Rayner's POV“What do you want? Mom repeated.“I miss you, Mom,” I said, my eyes teary.“I am still here waiting for you to make the right decision,” she said.“Mom, a lot has happened these few days, and I think I am gradually losing it,” I cried, the tears out of my control.“Rayner, all these wouldn't have happened if you had a man in your life. You should have been in his arms crying right now while he cuddled you to sleep,” she said.“Mom!” I exclaimed.“A lot of these will continue to happen and weigh you down till you get a man for yourself.” She added.Mom was never aware of Daniel because I didn't want her to pressure him into getting married to me as soon as possible. On second thought, everything went from good to bad at work from the very moment Mom sent me out of her house.I just had to make peace with her. Maybe everything with Nathaniel Blackwood will end as well. With that in mind, I was determined to make Mom forgive me.Mom, can't you just understand me, I will ge
Nathaniel's POV I was sitting close to the window in my room as I watched the street, I heard Davis walk into my room. He hasn't gone yet because I still wanted him around. “Sir, we haven't gotten any response from Mr. Nelson about his decision for us to be the constructor of the new building he had in mind,” Davis informed me. Blue Nath is known for three things and these I have built on over the years. Software development, architectural works and construction, and lastly, investment. I majored in Software development in my first degree but when I found out that the construction business was also a great source of income, I went for a second degree while investing was something I had loved since I was a child. “If no reply by the end of tomorrow, give his secretary a call,” I said. “Okay, sir.” He bowed. Davis was fond of giving a bow every time despite my constant warnings. He claimed he was used to it but would gradually stop. He is not just my PA. He is the only person I c
Rayner’s POVIt was another weekend, and I hadn't gotten any clients the whole week, but the truth is, I hadn't been searching. Everything was a mess, and I couldn't speak with any client.Director Kim kept asking me if I had gotten any clients, which felt strange to me. I have wiped Nathaniel's marriage contract off my head, just wanted to focus on my job.I was still on the search when a client I had long spoken to and promised to come when he had the time sent a message.I didn't know when I smiled, but I smiled after three days of keeping a straight and gloomy face. I replied to his message while I waited for him. He wasn't buying much, so there was no need for a contract.He finally came in, and I shook off all the sadness inside of me while I approached him.“Good day, Sir,” I greeted happily.“Good day, Miss. I stop by at last.” He said chattily.“Yes, please have your seat, Sir,” I gestured to a seat.“I think I need to see more samples besides the ones you showed me earlier.”
Rayner's POV “What was that for?” I yelled when we entered Director Kim's office. At this point, I was tired of keeping calm and letting go of everything he had done. I didn't care if he was the director anymore. “That client was a big fish, and you let me lose it? For what? For Nathaniel Blackwood?” I roared. “Yes, for Nathaniel Blackwood,” Director Kim retorted. “For a contract, we aren't sure he will give to us? You let me lose one I was sure of?” I snapped, pointing at the door. Director Kim was walking around. I knew he didn't expect that client to walk away just like every other client has stayed back, but he should know people are different. “Rayner, if you had accepted Nathaniel’s proposal, it wouldn't have gotten to this extent. Everything that happened a few minutes ago was your fault and not mine.” He accused me. “Director Kim, my fault? How? I have never lost a client until today, which was caused by you, and you want to blame me?” I bellowed. “Trust me, Rayner, I
Katherine's POV After what happened today between Director Kim, Rayner, and her client, and the heated argument that followed, I knew I had to do something. Believe me when I say these past few days have been the best days of my working experience at Cee Enterprise. Every time Director Kim tells me to go attend to Rayner's client, my heart always leaps for joy. I kept looking for ways to annoy Rayner just so I could mock her with it, but she has avoided me, and I think everyone as well like a plague. Her shoulders, that has always been high, have suddenly come down. Her ever-smiling face no longer recognizes smiling as an expression. I couldn't be happier about everything. Right now, I don't regret eavesdropping on their conversation and confronting Director Kim, maybe he wouldn't have considered me if I hadn't. I heard Director Kim telling Rayner to do what she was asked to do and I felt jealous. I am also beautiful but why does it have to be Rayner? “She is such a st*pid girl
