OLIVIA.I arrived at my office and I couldn't help the anger coursing through my veins at the moment. How could I have done such a thing in Davion's office after I had promised myself that I don't want to have anything to do with him in the future? What sort of temptation is this and why couldn't I resist?I closed my eyes as the feeling of guilt and regret washed over me like tidal waves. This was more than I could bargain. I couldn't do this anymore. The thought of wanting and not wanting him was suddenly clashing together and I don't know how to handle my emotions anymore.Walking to my desk, I rounded the table and sat down. I opened the file and went through what was written on it. I could barely concentrate because my mind was still stuck on what I had done with Davion. The more I tried to push it to the back of my head the more it resurfaced and I am left conflicted on what to do about my feelings at this point.Nevertheless, I read through the files and took down notes and de
DAVION."Excuse me?" Davion asked, straightening himself from his seat. I swallowed when I realised that something was about to go down and it didn't look pleasant. This was exactly how Davion reacted the other time at the meeting when the lady called me a slut in presence of everyone. And he didn't think twice before barging into their company to give her a piece of his mind which later led to them firing her. Even I was scared of him when he was like this, in this particular mood."What did you just say to her?" He repeated."You don't have to be upset Davion." The man in question twirled his pen around his fingers as he spoke. "I didn't insult her. I only stated a fact. It had been circulating all over the internet and I only brought his to your knowledge.""If I needed rumours or facts from the internet, I have a board of marketing directors, media personnel willing to do just that for me with a snap of my fingers. Do you really think I needed you to open your mouth and spill rub
OLIVIA."Was that really necessary?" I asked as me and Davion made our way outside the room where we had just held the meeting that ended up badly as usual. "You didn't have to do that. You just got him fired from his job? Are you even listening to me Davion? I'm talking to you."He stopped at the elevator and turned to look at me while he waited for the doors to open. "And what do you want me to do about it? He not only tried to insult you but also tried to defame your character in front of me like he's some kind of saint." He rolled his eyes angrily."But still, I never asked you to take charge of it did I? I never asked you to fight for me. It was between us so why did you have to butt in?" I asked feeling exasperated. "You're always used to creating enemies Davion and I don't want that. Do you know what might happen if he decides to take it out on me? You never try to consider my feelings or emotions. You just do things as if it's your right when it isn't in the first place.""Ol
OLIVIA."Are you still working?" Mike ask as he made his way into my office. I raised up my head from my desk to look at him. He looked fully arranged with his suitcase on one hand while the other hand held onto the handle of the door for support."Yes I am. I still need to finish up some work on my desk. And judging by how things went at the meeting earlier I don't think it will be wise for me to go home now." I need down my fears and worries to him and he sympathised with me."Would you like me to wait for you so that I can give you a ride to your house later?" He inquired as his gaze pinned me down."I don't want to impose on you Mike. Besides don't you have other things to do at home. I don't want you missing out on anything just because you have chosen to wait for me.""Don't be such a cry baby. I'm the one asking you, am I not? A simple yes or no would do."I breathed out heavily. "Well if you insist then I'm not stopping you.""Of course I insist you annoying little child." He
OLIVIA."I cannot believe that you did that" Mike cheered me on the minute Davion was out of sight. "You literally just told the boss no and that you won't go home with him. Who are you and what have you done to Olivia?" Mike teased with a smug grin on his face. He looked like I was presenting a show and he was loving every bit of it. Remind me how I got to know this boy again because he was slowly getting on my nerves."And Olivia and I haven't done anything to me. And besides, weren't you the one who said that I should stay away from him as much as possible? He also told me to refuse should in case he asked me to drop me off at home and I shouldn't gave to his demands so why are you acting as if it wasn't your idea in the first place?"He gave me the look of confusion. "Careful dear honey. Why are you making it seem as if I'm the bad guy here? I only gave you an advice and suggestion to help you out of your present predicament. If you hadn't told me about your problem, do you thin
OLIVIA.I turned and tossed on my bed repeatedly but I still couldn't sleep. Somehow, I felt like one of the most hardest and most impossible task that I have ever attempted or done in my entire life.The more I try to shut my eyes the more I found them opening on their own. My mind kept on drifting to davian and what I have said to him earlier in the office today. I can't help but blame myself for turning him down in the manner in which I did but I couldn't help it. My hands were tied and besides Mike said that I should turn down all his advances of him trying to help me because it will only end badly.I was still struggling to get over the fact that he had fired the director because of me. What if word goes out that I was the cause of everything? how would I face anyone in the office without hiding in embarrassment or alter shame.Davion was a good guy but it still doesn't change the fact that he is my boss. And most office relationship never ends well. Because not only will people
OLIVIA.I panicked the minute his phone died. Part of me told me that this could be a prank to get me to come over to his house but then again there was an explosion so it couldn't completely be a prank. What is something bad had really happened to him?Davion was a lot of things but I knew that he wasn't someone that will joke with something as important as this. I have been struggling and trying my very best to sleep and now he has taken that away from me because at this point I was fucking restless as hell.I picked up my phone and tried calling but his number wasn't going through. I had been calling Davion for hours, but the line came back unanswered. Something didn't feel right. I knew how busy he could get, but this was unusual. I decided to check on him since I was off-duty for the day. I stood in front of the mirror and tried to tame my wild hair, but it wouldn't stay put. I let out a sigh and quickly rushed outside to grab an Uber.I managed to stop a taxi and as soon as I g
OLIVIA.I sat down frozen as David kept hugging me. I have no idea why you are refused to pull away and I couldn't pulling away either because he was hurt and I didn't want to Injure him further. We remained in that position as I was trying to figure out how he had landed himself in such an injury in the first place."How did this happen boss?" Asra proceeded to ask the same question that has been lingering in my mind for so long. "And why didn't you call the means to help you with whatever you were planning to do in the kitchen? why are you even here in the first place instead of your bedroom?""It's a long story Ezra but I promise to fill you on the details later and besides I just wanted to something for myself. It's not like I would use the maid for everything I do every single time would I?""You wouldn't. But look at what one time alone in the kitchen had cost you. You've never even boiled your own water by yourself so I'm still wondering why and how you manage to do all of thi
