DAVION."Olivia and I go way back. She's my childhood friend." I started and threw Karla a knowing look to see if she was listening or not. The look on her face told me that she was very well invested in my story which prompted me to continue with whatever I wanted to say."I can't believe this. Olivia is your friend? Why didn't you tell me any of this when the first article about her came out? I would have easily said it on the news to tone down the rumours that flew around causing problems for the two of you." She accused and I blew out a deep breath."I wanted to tell you all of this. Believe me I hated myself everyday because I knew that I had lied to you and I knew that you would never forgive me if you had found out about this but the only reason I decided to keep quiet about it was because I didn't want to scare her off." I said in my defense. "You and I are best friends Karla and hiding things from you always makes me so upset and uncomfortable in ways that you cannot even be
DAVION.I arrive at my office and rounded the table to take my seat. I just wanted nothing more but for the day to be over so that I will go back home and rest. I can't think straight and I have been blowing up all the meetings I had to do with all my investors because I couldn't bring myself to think properly. Karla has been trying her very best to lift my spirits and has taken most of my duties but for how long will she do that? I am the CEO. the owner of this company so I was supposed to stand and do my job but so far I can't do anything.The more I thought about it, the more angrier it made me become. I know that suggesting that we should become friends with benefits would bring an issue between us but I just wanted to be selfish for one time in my life.Olivia had always tried her very best to put herself first before anybody. She doesn't give a damn about what the other person feels or how badly a decision affects the other person so why should I not take the bull by the reins
DAVION."Are you okay boss? Do you want me to come back later so that we can continue?" Karla asked and Davion raised a finger at her. Of course he wasn't going to let her do that. For how long was he going to hide from Olivia? And if he should continue doing such then his business would suffer and it would only bring more problems for both of them. He can't risk it. He really can't. There's a lot of people waiting for him in this company and a lot of people also depends on this company to feed and manage themselves so he can't risk it no matter what."It's alright Karla. Just please, continue with whatever it is you're doing please. I'll try to get over it." He assured her, hoping that he could also get the same assurance to himself but he knew deep down that it was not worth it to say the very least. Olivia would never see him differently no matter how hard he tried and you just have to accept that fact for what it is."You've been trying to get over it but I don't think you can ge
OLIVIA."Oh my goodness Davion. I've missed you so damn much baby boo!" She squealed excitedly and pecked him on the cheeks. He tried to pull her off him but he couldn't and I just stood there with a confused look on my face which wasn't even helping matters right now.She looks so familiar. I feel like I've met her before or seen her somewhere but I can't think of the exact place we've met. I tried to rack my brain for answers but everything came back blank. Who is this lady and how does she know Davion?Were they lovers, friends, colleagues or maybe business partners? The more I tried to think about it the more confused it gets me. They couldn't be friends, neither are they just colleagues? There was something off about her. And with the way she presented herself I felt like they were more than friends. Maybe they were in a relationship together. But Davion had told me that he doesn't have a girlfriend neither does he have a woman in his life so then who could she be? Or are my eye
OLIVIA.I tried to put in two and two together. Sabrina? Why does that name sound so effing familiar? I'm very sure that I have heard this name before but I don't know where and exactly how I have heard it. It sounds so familiar and for the life in me I know that is related to something but how come Davion knows about her and how come they are so close to each other?He had told me that he didn't have any female friends of his very own and that he had grown up lonely because he couldn't associate more with people so how on Earth did they become friends? and why was she hugging on him like a lost puppy that was found in a pond?"I'm very sorry Sabrina but you can't come to my house." Davion turned her down and judging from the look of things she doesn't look all that pleased that he had refused her."What do you mean by I can't come to your house? We have always hanged out together so why can't I come to your house now?""Well first of all, you just came back from a very long trip tha
OLIVIA.How could i not recognize her as the president's daughter? They are one of the biggest shareholding companies across the nation. They were big investors and one of the most influential people in Kruger. How come Davion is engaged to her? What am I missing here."You can't fire anyone in my company Sabrina. How many times do I have to tell you that you have no say here?" He fired at her."I do have say Davion. I do have say in a lot of things that you do because I'm your soon-to-be wife and after we get married, we are going to be in charge of running these companies together as husband and wife so yes I do have say on who lives and on who stays." She challenged him."I'm really sorry that you have to witness this Olivia. It was never my intention to—""Are you apologizing to her right now? Are you seriously doing that in front of me? I am the one who had walked in on both of you unannounced and canoodling with each other. I'm the one who had come into your office to see a wom
SABRINA.I turned around to see Olivia or whatever they called her, holding onto my arm. She had her grip held firmly on mine that I had to push her hands away forcefully."What are you doing?" I asked and she straightened herself. Ever since I got to know that she was the one on the news with Davion, I just can't seem to think of her differently."Nothing ma'am. I just need to correct a few things that you said earlier before he came." She told me fiercely and the look in her eyes told me that she meant everything that she had just said. Oh no. I don't want to get caught up in this sort of drama because of her."Is there any need to? We literally just discussed between ourselves so why do you have to involve him in it?" I asked trying to see if I could dial down the matter and tone it down a bit."You're right that we discussed it amongst ourselves but then again what you told me earlier was about him was it not? He is the centre of our conversation so it's only wise that he gets to
OLIVIA.Sabrina stormed off and I am left standing alone with Davion. He looks confused and conflicted as though he doesn't know what to say to me or how to start explaining himself from the very beginning. I could tell that he was tense as well and that he wanted to explain so badly but then again I really wasn't in the mood for anything that he had to say at this point. He had not only lied to me but he had made me a fool in front of everyone including his fiancee and there was nothing he would say to me at this point that would make me forgive him or see him differently right now.The silence between us is deafening and I could see the tension cloud the air as we both stood still without uttering a single word. Coming to terms that he would not be able to say anything, I decided to take my leave but he stopped me even before I could go further."Olivia, please—" He stretched out his hands but squeezed it tightly and let it drop by his side forcefully."Is there anything that you w
