She woke up the next day with hopes in her eyes. She dressed up for the day and went to the office. They were supposed to have a board meeting and so, she prepared herself to go there. In the meeting room, the shareholders were discussing the brilliance of a young guy dressed in a black suit and shirt. His hair was oiled and combed to his back and it lingered on shoulders, at first glance, one would think of him as a gentleman.

But when he smiled, you would sight a devious expression, Elsie entered and heard praises of him. He watched Elsie walked in dressed like a business woman with some files in her hands and he smiled in her way. Elsie saw his smile and shook her head and thought,

‘This time that this guy is smiling in my way, I believe he has something on his sleeves. What’s he planning now?’

As she was about to sit down, one elderly looking man looked in her way and said to her,

The board members carried the matter and thought of the one who could bring them more money and raise the company and the results turned to be in the favour of Elsie. The same elderly man that had started the chaos with his words stood up and with shame drawn all over his body spoke in a nervous tone,“After all, that we did, you still stood your ground, which shows that you are a persistent person. I’m glad that we will be working with you as our CEO, you have won, where do you want as your office?”“I would like to stay in the same office as my father had.

But looking at how, they all had come together, he knew he was in to listen to something he wouldn’t want to hear. Oswald was thinking about several reasons the family would call for him but he couldn’t come into a conclusion.Hubery sat and waited for Oswald to speak but he didn’t say anything and only stared on his phone and so, he decided to be straight forward with his words,“I would like to know your plans towards your engagement with Tess.”Oswald finally glanced in the way of Tess and a smile appeared on her face. she thought he was going to keep looking at her but it was only a glance.

    Elsie turned around and walked a little distance from the place, she looked in the air and felt heart broken. She shook her head and said to herself,“When will you learn your lesson their heart? What destiny? I think it’s the devil’s doing, he just wants me to suffer that’s why he keeps bring pain in person of Oswald in my way.”She sighed and took out her phone and called Rod. He came out to meet her and asked her,“Why don’t you hand it to him yourself when you’ve come this far?”Elsie looked at the wristwatch on her hand and said to him,“I don’t have the time for that, I need to go back to work. After you have handed this to him, he will know I came by.”She turned around and left.

    They sat face to face, they had both ordered for coffee but Elsie had on her face, a serious expression. She glared at Ford and said to her,“I am really serious about this, help me check it out in company files. This person mustn’t go scout free.”Ford smiled and sipped on his coffee, he raised his eyes and stared at her. When he was done, he only checked his phone. Elsie was confused at his reaction, he wasn’t taking her seriously and she knew it. And so, she took her bag and said to him,“I don’t think you are taking me seriously here. So, I will leave you to accompany your coffee since it seems you only see it here.”Ford stretched his hand and pushed her down. Just as Elsie was about to protest, he looked behind him and smiled, Elsie looked that way as well and saw Oswald walking towards them. When he got there, he swiftly took the cup of coffee in front of Elsie and took a sip from it. He breathed in and gulped it down as if it was the best drink ever.Ford saw his action and sn

    Rod looked through the contract that he received from the Alfred group of companies. As he looked through it, he shook his head and confusedly after another look, he took his phone and dialled a number. The person answered on the second ring and he said to him,Sir, I looked through the contract sent from Miss Elsie’s company and there seems to be more mistakes compared to the second one submitted. What should I do about this?The person didn’t answer for some time in a few seconds, he said to Rod,I will be taking over this contract, you don’t have to concern yourself about it anymore.Rod was speechless, he glanced at the phone and kept it back beside his ear, then he thought to himself,Have I heard him wrongly? If he is going to work on this, what about the tons of work on his table?As he was thinking about this, he heard him say,Inform Elsie so you can arrange a meeting for us.Rod’s lips fell open but no words could come out of it.In Elsie’s office, she is busily typing on he

    With that thought in mind, Elsie held her burning cheeks and shook her mind of that thought. But her eyes couldn’t leave his wet hair, she gulped done and without thinking, asked him,Do you need help with your hair? You should have dried it before coming out of the washroom. You keep doing that and you will catch a cold.Oswald smiled as he remembered that she would dry his hair anytime he came out of the washroom forgetting to get it dried. He guessed it had become a habit of it and still thought about that even after their divorce. Seeing the smile on Oswald’s face, Elsie shook her head again as she realized what she had said out of thought.She looked down and held the bag in her hands tightly as she squeezed her face. Oswald saw that she was nervous and regretted her words, this made the smile on his face deepen as he thought,I didn’t know you were this cute. Your actions depict your thoughts so much.He walked away from the door and said to her to walk in, he was still by the d

    Oswald watched the lady who hadn’t realized what she said and he said to her to make her understand her words,Yes, we shouldn’t have divorced in the first place, our actions were rather rushed.Elsie looked up at him and recalled her words for him to answer in such a surprising way. When she did, she quickly took the glass of water on the table and gulped it down noisily. She shook her head and didn’t want to speak to Oswald again as she thought to herself,I seem to be uttering nonsense every time that I speak to him without thinking.Oswald also knew that she was feeling embarrassed and didn’t say anything anymore. Their meal was served and they both ate in silence. After Elsie was done with hers, she stood up and said to him,I will be leaving first, I need to put things together in the contract and I also have other things to do.Oswald looked up at her to speak but she was already walking away in hurry. He sighed and thought,How adorable. She’s really someone that I am getting

    Elsie smiled inwardly and felt relieved that she hadn’t mentioned it first. She thought to herself,I was thinking of how to bring it up him. He has really saved me from thinking this through.It’s also good that you called, you wouldn’t be bothered about if I am okay with it or not. You can go ahead and choose another day.This was a fast agreement for Oswald, as he wasn’t expecting her to agree so soon. He stared at her and deduced that, she might have other things to do that day. He stared at her and wondered what she had to do that was so important that she didn’t think about the contract that she had tried do hard to get. He sighed and didn’t feel good about it but there was nothing he could do.He got up and said to her,Since we can’t make it that day, let’s meet the day afterwards. I’m sorry for asking you here on a short notice and for something meagre.Elsie smiled and shook her head. She got up and left without a word. Oswald watched her leave as he thought about the reason

And that was on the head of a man, he was a middle aged man and he was in prison clothes. The old but gentleman dressed in suit took lazy steps towards the man tied on the chair. He had a frown on his face but it was like the person that was tied in front of him did not matter to like the sand that he was stepping on.He stopped in front of the man and held his chin, the man groaned slightly and the old man smirked.

When she felt that mission failed she heard a loud bang. The guard stopped and removed his gun in a swift, but then the gate started opened in a slow pace.

The old man stood up and said to her,Let me get out of here before you butcher me for talking to him.Elsie quickly stood up and quickly took her phone and then rushed out of the place. Mr. Alfred watched her leave silently and shook his head, when she wasn’t in sight, he said to him on the other end of the line,She’s gone, you can speak now.He heard a long sigh on the other end before he spoke,I know you are worried about Elsie, I know she has got some feelings for me and she isn’t alone.

If there’s something to say to her, let me be the one to say it.Mr. Alfred removed the phone from his ear and looked at, he shook his head and said to Oswald,Do not think that I will be fooled by your slow words.

    Elsie woke up the next with a bright smile on her face. she stretched her body and felt pretty tired, she looked at the door way of the washroom and sighed begrudged. She shook her head and said to herself, I wonder if I would allow someone to wash me up if I had help. Since I won’t, I will have to help myself. A few minutes later, she heard a knock on her door and she heard someone say behind the door, Sir said, you can rest for the day. He wants you down in five minutes for dinner. Your phone is with him and he would be answering all your calls. Answer my calls?

She shook her head and rushed into the washroom, in five minutes she was out and running down the stairs. The old man was already seated at the table when she arrived, in front of him and beside his coffee cup plate were three phones. She

When did you fall head over heels for Elsie?” “It’s sister in law for you. I don’t know when I fell for her but I know that I can’t live without her.” Hulda glared at Oswald, she snorted and with a little anger in her eyes, “You love her so much that you were ready to sacrifice your life for her. Did you forget the rest of us? Do we mean nothing to you? Your father left me just like that and you intended to abandon us too?” Oswald shook his head silently and answered, “Mrs. Crofts, I believe we don’t have that relationship, when you gave all your heart to your husband and forgot that you had children, none of us complained. I didn’t want to bring up this topic, I am sorry if you get hurt by my words. Now, I understand what it feels like to make someone your world and later get the feelin

    It was already dawn when they arrived at the house, Sid and Aires along with Anna came along with them. Elsie saw her and hugged her saying, I’m so proud of you for handling everything for me. I couldn’t have done this without your help. Sid pouted and complained, It’s not like she was the only one who kept the company in pace since you were gone. How long were you gone anyways? Elsie nodded and was about to embrace them together but Aires stepped away and said, I don’t need a hug from you, I can’t believe that you did that by yourself. I had different mindsets about what could really happen to you but look at you. It seems you didn’t care about us at all, all you think about is Oswald. Now that you are back, what are you going to do? Elsie laughed out and patted him on his shoulder saying, I don’t remember the last time you spoke so many words aside from singing. You must have really be agitated, I know you must have been worried but look at me, I returned hearty and healthy.

Elsie’s happy expression turned sour and she glared at the man who looked on with an unbothered expression. The soldiers turned to take them all away but then Elsie felt angry at what the man had done. She sneered and shouted, Don’t take him away, let him see how I end his wickedness by burning all that he had earned for being this wicked. Watch on you old maggot as I turn everything including your mansion into ashes. The man gnashed his teeth and attempted to escape from the soldiers hold but he swept him off the floor with his leg and he landed straight to the ground on his face. Elsie laughed out and walked closer to him, Oswald tried to stop her but she didn’t even take a look back.
