Rayner’s Pov“Thank you for helping me out.” I thanked the male staff when we got into the elevator.I was happy that my plan would still pull through despite the little obstacle I faced earlier all thanks to the staff with me.“It's nothing Mrs. Blackwood and I am sorry I didn't tell you, Mr. Blackwood is in a meeting.” He looked at me, waiting for a response.“It's fine, I can wait for him, thank you for the help,” I said.“Okay,” he replied.We arrived at the floor Nath was having his meeting and to my dismay, right outside the meeting room was Davis on a phone call with someone.Davis ended the call immediately he saw me and walked to me.“Mrs Blackwood, you didn't inform Mr. Blackwood you were coming?” Davis asked.“No. Just want to surprise him.” I said.“Well, you should have informed me so I could have come pick you up from the lobby rather than going through the stress of finding Mr. Blackwood,” Davis said.“At least I did find you both,” I said and we all laughed.I thanked
Rayner’s PovI didn’t expect I would be called because why should I I did think of something I wanted my current menstrual tracking app to have and finally, I did.I wanted to stand up to speak because other speakers have done that before but then Nath held my hand and made me sit back. He got closer to me and whispered into my ears.“You are my wife which simply means, you would have been on this seat if I wasn’t here so you should sit down to address everyone,” Nath said.I nodded and then sat well before talking.“Good day everyone,” I greeted. “As regards the question, I love the menstrual tracking am and I currently use the one made by **** and I must say it is very nice but there is a challenge. Not just for this one I use but for the others I have used.”“A major challenge is that the symptoms aspect is limited. They give the symptoms which is not the same for everyone. I believe that is because a survey was carried out with a few ladies and generalized.”“Menstrual symptoms ar
Rayner’s POV “That's all, Mr. Allen,” I said, concluding my speech. “That's a catchy offer not to accept miss, I will give the contract to Cee Enterprise,” Mr. Allen said and sipped from the cup of coffee in his hand. “I will take my leave now. Everything will be sent to you through my PA from now,” he made clear before leaving. Cee Enterprise is a gadget production company and I Rayner Carson work in the Business Management Department. I have just concluded a business meeting with this client who wants a lot of computers in his new company and he has agreed to give Cee Enterprise the contract. Convincing people to buy our computers or gadgets at Cee Enterprise isn't easy. Being the best in Diavolo means we will prove why we are the best every time. I walked back to my desk and added this new success to my list. I have been keeping a record of the number of contracts I have signed with clients because I will need that if I must be promoted. So far, I have gotten sixteen
Rayner’s POV“Why are there a lot of errors in the contract,” Director Kim slammed the contract I had prepared last night on my desk angrily jolting me back to my surroundings.When he called me last night, he asked me to prepare a contract. He gave the details and despite my broken heart, I tried to draft it.Maci's words, the picture of Daniel riding her from behind, the stranger I bumped into, and how I spoke to him harshly occupied my head while I prepared the contract and even before Director Kim came in.His gaze was cold and I could see disappointment in his eyes. I have never made a mistake not even missing the letter ‘a’ when preparing a contract but now I have made a lot of errors like Director Kim had said.“Are there errors?” I asked to be sure I heard him well.“Yes, Rayner. There are a lot of them, I couldn't finish the first page,” he shouted at me.Director Kim is a nice man but he just hates dirty work, laziness, backwardness, and anything that will slow his work down
Rayners POVIt was the weekend and I didn't want to stay at my place so I concluded I was going to spend it with Mom. It's been a while since I spent time with her after all.Before now I always spent the weekend with Mom but when Daniel came into the picture, I was either busy with work or at Daniel's place now that he is out of the picture, I will return to my schedule of spending the weekend with Mom.The week had started on a good note for me until I saw the cheaters cheating on me. I signed three contracts with my clients and the one I signed on behalf of Director Kim.I explained to Director Kim what transpired between the client and and he was beyond grateful to me to the dismay of Katherine who had wanted him to scold me again he also advised me to deal with whatever issue I had during the weekend.I stepped down from the car. I boarded a cab to take me to Mom's place. Immediately I stepped down, and the fresh natural air supplied by the many trees in the surroundings greeted
Rayner POVMy worst weekend has finally come to an end. I cried my eyes out every minute because everything kept coming as a flash to my head.I tried reaching Mom after I left her place but she never took the call. I knew I needed to do something if I ever wanted to speak with Mom. One thing I know about Mom is that she keeps her word.I manage to drag my tired body and soul to work. When I got to work, I was one minute late and the first person I saw was Director Kim. I knew I was finished at this point but I still walked up to him smiling.Before I entered the company, I stood at the glass windows and reminded myself that it's a new week and I can't screw it up. Being in a sane mind will do me a whole lot, I reminded myself of the target I have in mind, which is the COO position, and that lightened my mood.So when I walked in to see Director Kim, I just smiled because that's what the Rayner before the heartbreak will do.“Late with a minute? Why?” He asked when I got to him.“I am
I stepped down from the company's car in front of Blue Nath. Director Kim had told me to go in the company car as getting a cab might take a while and I might get there late.I wouldn't want to get there late so I accepted. In front of me was the gigantic building of Blue Nath. The building is so high, the front was covered in glass, and it was wide in length that three buildings of the Cee Enterprise Diavolo branch could be built on it.I entered the building after admiring how big the building from the outside looks. The inside was more beautiful than the outside. A giant logo of the company's name was hung on the wall behind the receptionist.“Welcome ma'am,” the beautiful blonde-haired lady greeted me.“Rayner Carson, to meet with the CEO by nine am,” I informed her.She checked through the system in front of her, glanced at me, and back to her computer. “Ma'am you are a special visitor. I would like to call the CEO's PA to come pick you up himself as that was the instruction.” Sh
Nathaniel's POVI could see discomfort written all over her face. When she asked me what I said again, I knew she was surprised hearing my condition for the contract.When I was told about her and Aunt Elizabeth's constant requests for me to get married, I just wanted to do it so she would be happy and I would get what I wanted.I followed her one day after work to see what her life was all about, and that was the day she nearly broke my chest. I had followed her from her place after work, I didn't want Davis or one of my men to do it.I lost sight of the cab she entered when a truck passed by and some other cars covered the one she was in. That same night after she had walked out on me without apologizing, Davis told me when I got back home that Director Kim wanted to have a meeting with me concerning the contract.I had previously declined their Ceo, Mr. Lucas the contract. I wanted to give it to a smaller company, not a well-known company, although I was advised against it.I alway

Rayner’s Pov“Thank you for helping me out.” I thanked the male staff when we got into the elevator.I was happy that my plan would still pull through despite the little obstacle I faced earlier all thanks to the staff with me.“It's nothing Mrs. Blackwood and I am sorry I didn't tell you, Mr. Blackwood is in a meeting.” He looked at me, waiting for a response.“It's fine, I can wait for him, thank you for the help,” I said.“Okay,” he replied.We arrived at the floor Nath was having his meeting and to my dismay, right outside the meeting room was Davis on a phone call with someone.Davis ended the call immediately he saw me and walked to me.“Mrs Blackwood, you didn't inform Mr. Blackwood you were coming?” Davis asked.“No. Just want to surprise him.” I said.“Well, you should have informed me so I could have come pick you up from the lobby rather than going through the stress of finding Mr. Blackwood,” Davis said.“At least I did find you both,” I said and we all laughed.I thanked
Rayner’s PovAgain, I am sorry to ask, did he eat breakfast before leaving the house?” I asked the maid who was in the kitchen with me.She thought about it for a while and then replied. “No Mrs Blackwood. Mr. Blackwood refused to take breakfast and while I tried to insist because Aunt Eli instructed he shouldn’t leave the house without taking breakfast, he said you weren’t there to eat with him so there was no need for him to.” The maid said.I got goosebumps all over my body. Did Nath truly say that to the maid? I regretted not waking up early to prepare something for him since I wouldn’t be going anywhere and I could sleep if I were tired.“Okay, I think I would have to take this food to him myself,” I announced.“That would be a great idea Mrs Blackwood and I am very sure Mr. Blackwood is going to love it.” The maid clapped her hands happily which made me ask her why she was so happy.“Why are you so happy about my decision?” I asked.“Because it will save me from a lot of explana
Rayner’s Pov “Good morning Nath.” I greeted having woken up late. There was no need for me to wake up Walt and get dressed because I wouldn’t be going to the office but I would be working from home. After the doctor's instruction that I rest, Nath called Director Kim and made taken excuse on my behalf and Director Kim didn’t dare to say no even when it didn’t go well with him. “Good morning my love, how was your night?” Night asked. He was dressed up for work already while I was still lying in bed. Wait, did Nath just call me his love? Hahaha, I honestly hope he just said that for fun. “My night was not so great and not so bad either but all the same, I had a wonderful night's rest,” I replied to him. “Huh?!” Nath walked to the bed and sat beside me, “Why wasn’t your night entirely great?” He questioned me, concern all over his face. “Nothing. Just the thought of me not going to work today was disturbing.” I sighed. “I am sorry about that but there is nothing I can do because
Rayner's Pov“I had wanted to tell you after we finished eating but it seems you are not having it which I guess I the reason you came to join me in the Kitchen,” Nath said.I smiled, my teeth showing very well, “Well Mr. Blackwood, I am sorry to say this to your face but you are very wrong with your conclusion. I didn't come to join you in the kitchen because I wanted you to tell me about Natasha. After all, to me, she is not so important.”I continued, “I came to the kitchen to join you because I felt bored especially when I know you are here. Since you have planned on telling me what you want FL to tell me about Natasha after we are done eating, it's fine and I can wait.” I said.“It's too late now,” Nath touched my nose, “I have driven the maids out and I have already told you I was going to talk to you about it, so I will. Remember, I am a man of my word.” Nath pointed out.I raised both hands, “For me, whenever you choose to tell me is fine but so long it's today, I am good.” I
Rayner’s Pov“What do you mean Rayner?” Nath asked me.Without hesitating, I repeated my question, “Who is Natasha,” This time, my tone and voice were a bit low.“Rayner, I think you need to calm down. I can’t tell you who Natasha is while you are in this mood, it will ruin a lot of things, please, just calm down a little.” Nath said and that provoked me even more.Does Nath think I am a fool and that I won’t do my research about Natasha or, was he thinking I am in love with him already and he just doesn’t want to lose me? I wish someone could just tell him to stop dreaming.“Hold on Nath, this Natasha has been calling you for days, and anytime I am with you, you excuse yourself just to go speak with her and if you can’t leave, you simply ignore the call. I will ask you this question for the last time Nath and after this, I won’t ask again…”Nath placed his finger over my lip, “Please hold the last time till we get home. I can’t tell you who she is right here in a public place. Just h
Rayner’s PovI opened my eyes with force as soon as I became conscious and sitting beside me while holding my hand was Nath.“Hey, I am here, you are safe, take a deep breath,” Nath said and I calmed down a bit.“How did I end up here, Nath?” I asked.“I have no idea. I was called by Director Kim that you suddenly lost consciousness and you were being taken to the hospital. After I arrived here, I called him to explain what truly happened and he said he was told you were about to go get water when you suddenly fell.”“He said he wasn’t there when it happened but he was told. Do you remember anything? I asked him to bring out the CCTV recordings from that very moment. He said he was going to get back to me.” Nath explained to me calmly.I felt a sharp pain in my head and then I remembered what truly happened.“Oh, I remember now. I was about to get water because I was always feeling tasty and then there was a sudden blackout. What did the doctor say is wrong?” I asked him.Nath breathe
Rayner’s PovI entered the department and all I could see was everyone on their computer, including Carista. I was a bit late because of Nath’s delay and also there was a little traffic on the way. Was there an activity I wasn’t told about? Because why was everyone busy?I tiptoed to Carista to ask her what was going on. “Carista, what is going on, why is everyone busy this morning?” I asked in a whisper.“I believe you didn’t open your email throughout the weekend. Well, we got so many clients that we don’t know where they came from or rather, we haven’t confirmed where they came from. You should go sit down and get to work immediately because who knows, yours might just be more than mine and that of Director Kim.” Carista advised me.I sighed as I went to my desk to see what I had got on my side. I put on my computer and while I waited for it to finish its refreshing process, I sipped from my water. I felt a slight pain on my head which forced me to close my eyes for a few seconds t
Rayner’s PovWe were about to enter the car to go to work when Nath realized he had forgotten an important document.“Get in the car and wait for me, I left some important documents behind,” Nath said as he gave me my bag, which he was carrying.I collected it from him as I entered the car to wait for him. The driver was in the car, already waiting for us. As soon as Nath entered the house, I seized the opportunity to ask his driver the question that had been on my mind all through the night.“For how long have you been working with Mr. Blackwood, Max?” I asked him.Nath had earlier introduced him to me, so I knew his name and still remembered. Max stared at me through the rearview mirror while I stared back as if we were fighting.“Ma’am, I have been working with Mr. Blackwood for years now, about twelve years if I am not mistaken,” Max said.Yes, the perfect information I needed and the perfect person to give me the answer to the question I was about to ask.“I know you have been Mr
