"Going to work every day is harder than I thought"

"And hearing you whine about it every day makes my ears ache," Joshua said as they drove into the office premises.

"Gosh you are always so mean, I wonder how your girlfriend copes with you," Jeanne said in an attacking tone.

"She loves me too much and I am sure she would choose you to be the nuisance anyway" Joshua said.

"I highly doubt that"

"Just get down now" Joshua said gesturing to her as he shooed her away.

"I am going now" she said opening the door and turning back to him and then sticking her tongue out to him before she swiftly made her way in.

"She is still such a child," Joshua said in a chuckle to himself.

" Are you getting down here sir?" Jack asked glancing at him from the mirror.

"I will get down at the basement, Jeanne had warned me not to go inside with her or her reputation would be ruined," Joshua said and Jack nodded before driving away.

"Jack, do you know what she means by her reputation would be ruined? Everyo

    "Good morning," Thiago said standing in front of Jeanne's desk."How can I help you?" she asked before raising her head to him. Her mouth formed an o shape as her eyes widened in confusion."What are you doing here?" she asked in a hushed whisper. "Me?" Thiago asked his hand on his chest."Yes" she continues in a low voice while nodding so vigorously he was afraid they would roll off her neck."I am here in business" Thiago responded taking up her low voice."Oh, that's good, business with who?" Jeanne asked. Her eyes were twinkling as if she had heard good news."With your brother" he replied maintaining a low voice. "Okay but you came to the wrong office," Jeanne said raising her head. She saw the people staring at her, wondering why she was engaging the strange man standing in their office."Yeah, I realized that" he said scratching his eyebrow with amusement lingering on his lips. "I think I messed up the direction given to me by the receptionist but then I was about to leave wh

    "He just asked me out on a date didn't he?" Jeanne whispered as she watched inside Joshua's glass office."Did he?" Aletta asked plopping her hands on the table and dropping her head to her hands."You heard him didn't you?" Jeanne asked with a squeal as if she was a little girl."I only heard him offering to buy you dinner, I never heard him ask for a date" Aletta said."Hum" Jeanne grunted crossing her hand across her chest and turning to face her. "It might be a simple date soon but his eyes tell me otherwise" Jeanne added."Sure," Aletta said with an eye roll."My father told me about you and I have been expecting you," Joshua said standing up and rounding his table to meet Thiago, he extended his hand to him and Thiago took it."I am finally reporting to work," Thiago said before letting go of his hand."That's good, I will tell my assistant to show you to your office," Joshua said walking him to the door.He opened the door and Thiago stepped out. "Ms Brunswick," Joshua said lea

    "How was your first day at work?" Jeanne asked as she saw Thiago walk towards her."Well nothing really happened so it was all fine" Thiago said as he stood beside her."I was bored to death" Jeanne said and Thiago laughed."Typical office day isn't it?" he replied. He felt nervous and he did not know why. It was a simple dinner between the two of them so why was he so disturbed? "Should we get going?" Thiago asked after a long silence between the two of themShould we get going?" Thiago asked after a long silence between the two of them."Sure" Jeanne said rubbing her sweaty hand on her clothes.Thiago walked by her side to his car. As they got to the car he rushed ahead of he to open the passenger door for her. "Here you go" he murmured as he kept the door open."Oh my thank you" Jeanne said taken aback by his gesture."My pleasure," he said before closing the door and walking to the driver's seat."What are you craving?" "Anything. I am not a picky eater" Jeanne said pulling the

    "So she did that?" Thiago asked a shocked expression clouding his face."Yes she did and she never apologized for it. She even tried to gaslight me into saying she already apologized. Most times when I see her I want to puke" Jeanne told him before popping a fry in her mouth."So who else should I be weary of?" Thiago asked.Jeanne had taken it upon herself to try and make him feel comfortable. She had told him that she was going to list out the names of those whom he should totally avoid as he works there."As of today I know of no one else but she is enough to fill a list, she is a snake and it surprised me that my parents are blind or see what she is doing" Jeanne whined."So she is the only one on the list?" "Is her name not enough? I even told you what she did to me" Jeanne asked aggressively crossing her hand across her chest."I mean with all I have heard about her today and the gossip surrounding her I am sure her name would be enough for the list" Thiago said in a teasing vo

    "Thank you so much for tonight I had a great time" Thaigo said as he took her hand at the gate of her house."Your house by the way is so big" "I would have asked you to come in for coffee but I know my mom would make a big deal about it," Jeanne said leaning in she whispering. "That's who I get my drama from" she added before moving back with a loud laugh."I would have wanted to come in but I don't want to cause any drama tonight," he said and she nodded."Thank you for tonight, I had a good time having so much to talk about and even bashing my arch nemesis" she added and he smiled in agreement."Anytime you need someone to bash her with you, I am only a call away" "You are? But I don't seem to have your number" she said taking her phone from her bag and turning it to him. "I have to have your number so you can be a call away" "Of course" he said tapping his number on the phone. Jeanne thought it was such a smooth way for him to ask for her contact and she loved it."I am giving

    "Who was that?" Joshua asked coming out of nowhere."Why are you sneaking up on me?" Jeanne asked feeling her soul leaving her body."Who was that?" Joshua asked again ignoring her question."Thiago" Jeanne tried to sound casual but the excitement in her voice was different. She had this vibe from him and it was obvious he was interested in her.She did not know what kind of interest he had but it was obvious that he wanted to know things. He kept asking some kind of personal and deep questions that she successfully evaded. She was not ready for that level of exposure yet."The office closed hours ago" Joshua said glancing down at his watch. "Five hours ago" he added in a gasp and watched her roll her eyes."Where have you been?" he asked. He knew where she had been because Aletta had told him that Thiago had offered to buy her dinner and that she had agreed while shooting hearts out of her eyes in excitement. "Why do you care where I have been?" Jeanne said pushing her face forwards

    "Come back here" Jeanne screamed as she ran after her brother.She could not believe a grown man like him was acting like a teenager. Was this what he was going to be like when he forced himself to grow up and miss out on her teenage years?By the time she had gotten inside her parents were in the living room with a weird smile on their faces."Why are you guys smiling so weird like that?" Jeanne asked and they both let out a laugh."A weird smile? What do you mean?" Jessica asked feigning ignorance."If it's because of the man that dropped me off, I would like to explain myself so you can forget everything that Joshua told you, they are definitely all lies" Jeanne jumped to defend herself."When would you grow up" she whispered to her brother who was sitting so leisurely in the living room, his legs crossed and his hands on his lap. He could not hear her but he read her lips and smiled before giving her shrug."You want to explain? What do you want to explain?" Xavier asked."Yes Fat

    "Can't you see the time?" Aletta cried out over the phone."What time is it?" Joshua asked peeling the phone off his ear and checking the time. He had just left the living room where his mom had just finished planning her mini-party.Xavier was not comfortable with the idea from the get-go but he had no choice but to accept it when he saw the way his eyes were twinkling with so much excitement.Jessica had hosted her fair share of parties back in the day and had stopped after a while. Although her parties mainly consisted of those closest to her she still used the time to have a little fun."It's so late, are you sleeping?" Joshua asked putting the phone back to his ears."No but I was about to get into bed" Aletta said lifting the covers and slipping into the bed before dropping the covers on herself."Sorry, I called this late," Joshua said sitting on his bed."There is no problem" she murmured followed by a yawn. "I just wanted to let you know that you would be attending my mom's

"Joshua you know I do not like being late for any of these events" Aletta screamed back at him. Altetta paced back and forth at the bottom of the stairs. "You know you should not be screaming while you are this pregnant"Joshua said as he came down the stairs with his daughter in his hands. "If you had come down earlier then I would have had no reason to scream that much" she retorted and he smiled. "It was my little pumpkin here who kept me waiting" Joshua replied as he got to stand b

    "I am so happy for you, this is finally happening," Aletta said holding the arms of Jeanne excited."I am excited but also nervous very nervous does anyone have calming pills?" Jeanne said slipping her hands off Aletta's hand and feeling the sweat on her palm."Calm down, it's just you and Thiago, everyone else is just like a rock. I promise you once you get on that altar every of that nervousness would be gone" Aletta continued. "Thank you," Jeanne said sarcastically."Are you nervous because its mu brother? I can help you run away from this right now" Nichole suggested and Alethea rolled her eyes. "Are all sisters this way? This was the same advice you gave Aletta the other day" Alethea said and Jeanne shook her head. "How can I leave, I have been dreaming of this day" Jeanne replied. "Then calm down even though I don't know why you would dream of marrying my brother but we all choose our battles I guess" Nichole shrugged as she sat down."Nichole" Aletta chastised because she k

    "You have to get to work" Aletta said rubbing the hand of Joshua gently. They had arrived back from their honeymoon over the weekend and this Monday morning was the first time Joshua was going back to work after the wedding."Can't I just lay down here with you all day?" he said taking out her hand and pulling her down to his level."You kept saying that and prolonged the honeymoon by two weeks,""Call me a criminal for wanting to spend time with my wife, I am getting the feeling that you do not want to spend any time with me" Joshua said opening one eye and giving her a judging look. "Joshua, you know that is not true, so get up now""You are no longer my assistant, you are supposed to be begging me to stay a bit more with you""What makes you think I don't want to do that?" Aletta asked taking his dishevelled morning hair back from his face."Because you keep urging me to get back to work so quickly, it's like you can't wait to get rid of me" Joshua took his head back to the pillow

    "Mom don't cry again, you might get a serious headache at this rate," Aletta said rubbing the back of her mother while in a hug. The entire wedding was over already and the whole family was seeing the couple off as they were going directly to the airport for their honeymoon. "Come on, at this rate they might miss their flight" Leon said trying to pull Eunice off her daughter. She had been bawling the entire ceremony, if someone saw her they would think it was a sad occasion. "My daughter," Eunice said as she finally pulled away and took a step back. "I am so happy and so proud of you because you managed or find love for yourself even after everything" Eunice sniffled and smiled. "Thank you, Mom," Aletta said with a smile. "You better get going now" Jessica said stepping forward."We are on our way now" Joshua said pulling open the door and gesturing for Aletta to get in."Call us when you get there" Jessica called after the shut door."Do not call us" Xavier said as if he was giv

    "I was always unsure about how I felt about you, You were always around me, taking care of me and I felt anxious whenever you were out of sight. A little secret that was the reason I always made you work overtime even when it was not necessary" Joshua said and there was a burst of small laughter across the room.They were both standing in from of the priest and altar but they had decided to take their custom written vows there. Joshua cleared his throat and looked up from his paper to stare at Aletta whose eyes never left his face. He flashed a small warm mile to her and she returned it."I never realized my feelings for you until you made that drunken confession that night that caused us to go into a relationship. I had always thought about marriage but for me, it was the only way for me to make children that would take over the company one day, being with you makes me so excited to think of waking up every morning with you by my side, I think of planting kisses on your lips and spend

    "Are you feeling nervous?" Alethea asked Aletta who was sitting in the waiting room with her shaky hands. "Yes I am, who wouldn't be?" Aletta asked as she closed her eyes to steady her breath. "I mean you are very right, who would like to marry my annoying brother, as much as I would like to call you my sister in law I can help you escape if you wish to" Jeanne chimed in. "Thank you so much for the suggestion, I am nervous about this and not rethinking my decision. I can't wait to be married to him" Aletta said as her eyes shot open. "Ew" Jeanne said as she gaged. " What do you see in him?" she added as she picked at her nails. "Everything I want to see" Aletta added. "Jeanne stop trying to put ideas in her head" Jessica cautioned coming towards them. "What did I do?" Jeanne whined."I heard what you said" Jessica replied giving Jeanne a warning look. Jesica knew that her daughter was playing around but she did not want Aletta taking any of the words to heart. "I know I have s

    "Mom's boyfriend would be here soon," Alethea said as she dropped the dish in her hand to the table. "I can not believe that I am being made to meet my mom's boyfriend at her age" "What I can not believe is that she can't order out but is making us to make food for him"Alethea whined as she moved back to the kitchen."What is even more crazy is that she is in a relationship again" Aletta exclaimed as she moved behind Alethea. "Don't get me wrong I guess I am glad she is finding love again" "Same here, if she is happy then there is no issue. Love is in the air" Aleteha added coming back to the table "So why don't you have anyone to share the love with?" Aletta asked. They were making the last trip from the kitchen to the table. "Says you? Who told you that I do not have someone to share this love with?" Alethea said dragging out her sentence and a weird smile climbing her face."Alethea you are hiding something from me" Aletta said going to clutch her sister's hand. "Spill now" sh

    Aletta and Joshua tried to reach Anette and Richard but it was as if they had fallen off the radar. "At least we tried" Aletta said as she set down the phone to the table. "Happy now?" Joshua asked and she nodded. "I guess I have to get going now" she said taking up her phone from the table."Where to? You just got here" Joshua was sad because they had finalized her resignation and she had not been around him like he wanted her to be. He was happy regardless that she was doing what she loved. "I have to go finalize things with HR on hiring your new assistant and then I have to go shopping with your mom and sister" Aletta explained. "Can we at least have dinner together?" Joshua asked and started expressing shock when he saw the expression on her face. "We can not? I barely see you anymore these days" he whined like a child who was cheated of having any ice cream. "I am having dinner with my family, mom is introducing her boyfriend to us today and honestly, I love spending time wi

    "Did you hear about Anette?" Aletta asked as she pushed the jar of pickles into the hands of Joshua. They had picked a date for the wedding and it was in three weeks. They were having one of the date nights where they stayed back home and cooked for each other. "What happened to her?" Joshua asked. Anette shook her head in bewilderment, how could this man be so oblivious to everything happening around him?"Have you seen her in a while?" Aletta asked. She wanted to know how much he did not know. "Well, since that day she came to our house, I did not think much of it when I did not see her again," Joshua said truthfully before taking off the lid of the jar. "But you know she called off her wedding and left the country so abruptly with Richard?" Aletta asked hoping that he at least knew about that fact. Yes, Anette did hurt them all but it would be too mean to not care about her when she had sincerely apologized."Maybe they did not want the wedding again?" Joshua asked shrugging. Al
