Katherine's POV

It 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.

    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

    Nathaniel’s PovI walked the next day and the doctor asked me to stay one more day so he could check to see if I was very okay to get out of the hospital. For me, I didn’t buy the idea but Aunt Eli and Mac Jayson refused me to leave.I needed to go back home to see and get to understand what was really going on and where exactly Rayner was.“Why are you still in my room?” I was forced to ask Natasha when she refused to leave my room after she was done making sure I had taken my medication just like Aunt Eli instructed her.I had been discharged earlier and then Aunt Eli had an important meeting she needed to attend on my behalf. Since she would be away for a long time and I might have gone to bed by the time she returned, she had no choice but to tell Natasha to make sure I took the medication given to me.From the very moment we arrived at the mansion, Natasha followed me to my room and refused to leave. Her things were in my room and when I noticed them, I called a maid to get them

    Nathaniel’s Pov“Natasha, you of all people should know I do not like being lied to. Okay, I get it, no one came to the scene of the accident, what about all the time I have spent in the hospital because I can tell I have not been here for just two days.” I had asked Natasha, who was still insisting no one came around.“Nathaniel, when will you ever believe me and what I say? I told you no one came at the scene and the same thing happened all through your being unconscious on this bed. Aunt Eli came and she couldn’t help but cry often so I had to send her back home while I took care of you myself.” She said.I breathed out, still in disbelief because how was that possible? Even if Rayner was very mad at me, she still wouldn’t go as far as ignoring me, not after she heard I was involved in an accident. What about Aunt Eli? She would have called her and asked why she wasn’t around. I was going to find out so there's not much to think about.“For how long have I been here?” I asked her.

    Nathaniel’s PovI opened my eyes but quickly shut them because of the brightness around, after that, It took some time before I began to open gently. A sharp pain I felt on my head made me groan as I held my head like it would change anything. I still haven't been able to open my eyes to assess my environment because the pain in my head was still there.While trying to bear the pain till it either reduces or stops, a hand was placed on my shoulder. The desire to know whose hand it was pierced me as I slowly opened my eyes so the brightness in the room which made me close my eyes earlier won’t affect me much.I had opened my eyes after many trials before my eyes could at last get used to the light. Right before my eyes was someone standing and looking at me. This person’s face was above my face and was blocking the light a little.I turned my head to my left to see where I was since I wasn’t able to see the face of the person whose hand was on my shoulder and head above my face, blocki

    Rayner’s Pov“So how was your day?” Henry asked me as soon as we got into the car.He helped me carry my bag after we hugged and held my hands till we got to where his car was parked. Henry was driving the latest BMW in black color. Without having to find out much about him, I could tell he was rich because his looks, dress, and the way he spoke about different topics showed it.He opened the door to the car for me, just like a gentleman would do and I slipped in before he gave me my bag. When we were sitting and he had put on the car, he asked about my day which I was so excited to share with him.“It was not bad at all. It's the best day I have had in a while now.” I said to him grinning from ear to ear.“What? Does that mean our meeting yesterday wasn’t one of your best days?” Henry asked.I felt my stomach make some silly noise as I felt shy, really shy. Besides him speaking to me yesterday, I had a great day, especially at the saloon. I closed my lips tightly as I thought of what

    Rayner’s Pov“Ahhh, Good morning.” I had said unconsciously after yawning. When I realized I was staying alone now, I giggled at my silliness as I added my name. “Rayner,” I said a short prayer just to bless my day and then managed to get my lazy self out of bed.It was a new season in my life and I didn’t want to make any mistakes. I had to get to work earlier and then get as many clients as I could get just to increase my points again so I could qualify for the position I desired since the headquarters was now aware of my great impact on the company.I hurriedly went to the kitchen so I could make something. There was no way I was going to work without having breakfast. I entered my kitchen and that was when it occurred to me that my kitchen was empty.I haven’t bought anything since I made up my mind to go back to my old life, I searched the cabinets, perhaps I would be lucky to see something that I could prepare. I first searched the up cabinet but there was nothing and when I sea

    Rayner’s PovI stood in front of my mirror as I spoke to myself like a sane person after crying and blaming myself for everything that had happened for more than two days. I was just so tired and needed to leave the new circle of life I was in.I wasn’t used to it and gradually it was ruining my life because so far, the points I suffered to get at work had been dropping due to my inactivity for a while.As I stood in front of the mirror looking at myself, all I could see was the Rayner of before and the Rayner of now. We were two different people and if I was asked, I would go for the Rayner of the past.She was very pretty and always agile despite going through a lot. She still does her work well and is always interested in getting better rather than dwelling on hurt. “How did I get here?” I muttered to myself quietly fighting my emotions.There was no need to regret my actions, I took that step earlier because I must have thought about it and it was better I leave, after all that wa

    Rayner’s Pov “Useless,” I kept saying to myself all day. I wasn’t interested in doing anything even though I wanted to do something. My strength had failed me already and all I wanted was just to access Nath and apologize and watch him accept my apology. I left the hospital after crying my eyes out and hoping things get better after that day I got home and all I could do was pray every day that Nath would get better so I could see him myself. I was very sure if Nath was awake, he would allow me to reach him. I had thought countless times about the guards at the entrance of the hospital room. Who could have placed them there and why did they not tell the guards about me, what if they did but then why did the guards not allow me in? Or, wait, when I introduced myself as Nath’s wife, the first guard was about saying something like they had no idea Nath was married and all they know is that Nath had something. He was going to say it before the other rude guard stopped him. Everythin

    Rayner’s PovI got outside, my whole body shaking as I waited for a cab to come pick me up. Oh, I miss those days when Joel or Max came to pick me up without me going through the stress of waiting for a cab. I had stood by the roadside for about ten minutes before a cab pulled over.I told him where I was going and he charged me. It was quite high but what could I do, I had to be at home so I could freshen up and then go meet Nath wherever he was and apologize to him.We got to my house and I quickly paid the driver as I ran into the building and straight to my apartment. I threw my bag away to the couch but it slipped and fell on the floor and that was when my mind came back for a moment.“Ahhhh….” I screamed that might have been too loud and the occupant of the next apartment might hear me. “My laptop,” I yelled.I was frustrated at that point, why was everything working against me at that moment? I rushed to the bag on the floor to check my laptop but when I opened the bag, my lapt
