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

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

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

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

We came down from the car and Nath carried my bag and also held my hands. I remembered I hadn’t called Mac Jayson.“Nath, I haven’t called Mac Jayson, did you send him the venue details?” I asked Nath while we walked inside. There were a lot of reporters around all taking pictures of us. I didn’t panic because of course, I was expecting it.“Yes, I did,” Nath replied.“Okay, thank you for that.” I was about to ask when Mom would arrive because Nath sent a car to go pick her up when my phone rang. Nath stopped walking, raised the bag, opened it pulled out my phone from inside, and then handed the phone over to me.I checked the caller and it was Betty, she had told me earlier that she would be coming with Jeff and I had forgotten about it.

    Rayner’s PovLast night, despite Nath had given me reasons that whatever I felt was just something anyone would feel, my feelings still didn’t change. After the conversation, I returned to my room and lay down.Everything was happening so fast and since Nath came into my life, I can’t give an account of how my life is going besides the contract I signed with Mr. Nelson. One thing I will be truthful about is the fact that I have met a lot of big men in Diavolo and who would have thought?And the most surprising of it all was that the most influential man of Diavolo, Mac Jayson asked me to be his daughter. I know a lot of ladies out there would be super happy when they are asked such a question but there I was, feeling absurd, or rather, I didn’t know how I felt.While in my thought and imagination, I dosed off only to open my eyes again in the morning.

I lay on the bed, exhausted by the day's activity and Ray’s harsh words.Aunt Eli wasn't helping matters in any way because she had told Ray to spend the night in my room. After a few minutes, I observed Ray was not comfortable and then I had to ask her.She told me the challenge she was facing at that moment and to me, it wasn't something that she should be stressed about.I told her a few business tips and also what to send to Mr. Nelson and her next move came as a big surprise to me.She hugged me and muttered a thank you. For the first time, I got very close to her and even sniffed in her perfume. She smells like heaven.I could tell she was very grateful and that's because she hugged me. When she sent the reply to Mr. Nelson and he gave her a response, I explained a few more tips to her.We spoke about business for a long time before she felt sleepy and couldn't hide it.

    All through the day at the office, I kept getting congratulations and that gladdened my heart. I have not been regular to work for some days and then I returned with a big contract. It was things like these I prayed for.Before the end of the day working hours, I was informed by a security personnel that Joel was waiting for me. Director Kim allowed me to go as he didn’t want to keep Joel waiting but asked me to tell Joel the actual closing time or I should call him to come.It was a great idea and I was going to tell him that.“Why did you come this early? I still have about forty-five minutes before I can leave work.” I asked him after getting into the car.“I am sorry Ma’am, but it’s an instruction from Mr. Blackwood just to be sure you are safe.” He explained.“It’s fine but from tomorrow, you should arrive here when it’s about ten minutes to, okay?” “Yes Ma’am,” he replied.“Great, take me to my place, need to get the other stuff,” I said.Joel turned the car toward my house, an

You still look amazing. Also, I didn’t intentionally leave work. I had some engagement, and then I brought good news, which would be made known later.” I explained to her.“Alright then, I can’t wait to know what it is,” Carista said with a hopeful smile on her face.“Director Kim?” I asked her.“He is in his office. Since you left, he has always been angry at everyone and he has a lot of work to do with no one to share it with.” Carista crossed her hands over her chest and gently shaking her head, she said, “The man is going through a lot right now.” She turned to me, “But thank goo

I opened the door and as soon as dropped my first step outside Nath’s room, I saw Aunt Eli looking at me.I jumped up and almost screamed but I managed to control myself.“Aunt Eli, you scared me,” I said holding my chest. I heard Nath rushing to the door.Aunt Eli smiled, “I am sorry, Ray. I didn’t mean to.” She apologized, but I still haven’t gotten myself back.“Aunt is everything okay?” Nath asked her from behind me.Aunt Eli nodded, “Yes, everything is okay. I was just so surprised to be told by the maid that Ray was inside your room like it’s the first time since she came here.” Aunt Eli said.I moved my hand to my back hiding the agreement file in my hand, she must not see it. “Umh, yes, I went in to ask him about something.” I came up with an excuse.“That’s great.

    Rayner’s PovGetting a contract from Nath’s business partner was not something I had ever imagined although Betty had told me I could get a lot of such opportunities but I still didn’t think about it.Mr. Nelson kept saying a big contract but I still couldn’t get a glimpse of the big he was referring to. Would he get more gadgets than Nath from us? Over the years, Nath’s request has been the highest which is one of the reasons Director Kim would do anything to get it.And besides being the highest, it adds to Cee Enterprises' name.“I will send you the design of the computer I have and then will we continue from there. Good luck.” Mr. Nelson said before he left.The other men with him have assured me that they were going to get to me if they needed any gadget. They left before us and after a while, Nath asked if they would leave. The truth is, I have been thinking about work and the fact that I haven’t gotten any client in a while was killing me.But I think right now I will say, you

I gave her a few hours and I called her again and she said she had dressed already so I left my room to meet her.When Ray opened the door and came out of her room, she looked very beautiful and I must say that I got lost staring at her. I knew she was beautiful before then but the beauty I was seeing while I stood in front of her was beyond what I had seen before.I kept looking at her, fantasizing and complimenting her in my head when I saw her wave her hands in my face. I quickly responded to what she said and after that, I took her outside to introduce her driver to her.She left and I couldn’t clear her beautiful face off my head. I went to the company where Davis informed me about the interview I was supposed to have at a media house but I told them to come to Blue Nath and they were already waiting for me to arrive.I got there and the arrangement began immediately
