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. Rod looked behind her and wondered the reason behind the cold shoulder but he couldn’t think of anything he had done lately so he thought that she must be really busy.Rod walked back inside and handed the file to him, Oswald looked into the file and looked up at him and then asked,“Who brought this d
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
The voice felt very familiar, Elsie felt she didn’t have to look back to know it was him, Oswald. She suddenly felt uncomfortable, as she felt she had been caught by him. But then, she thought about the reason he had come to the place for events. Was he coming to see the show as well?No, he isn’t someone to attend shows as leisure. Then, oh! He is preparing for his engagement isn’t he? I guess he is here to check it out. She thoughtElsie sighed and responded to him turning to look at him,I have lost my ear ring and that’s what I am looking for.Oswald nodded his head and then said to her,Then can I help you find it? I am not doing anything right now.Elsie shrugged and said thanks and then continued with her search. They searched the corridor but couldn’t find it. Elsie stopped looking and stood with her hands on her waist looking devastated. Oswald smiled and asked her,You are not giving up yet right? Let’s retrace your steps some more.Before Elsie could say anything, he had mo
The show had started and Elsie was the only one that sat on the front role. She kept sighing and looking around waiting for someone to join her on the front seat. But the show was already ongoing yet no one but her was there. She looked around to see if there was any empty seat that she could occupy, she didn’t see any available. Just as she was about to leave the seat, she felt a presence, the person sat beside her and she stopped standing up.She looked beside her and saw that that it was Oswald, she sighed inwardly and smiled slightly. Oswald smiled as well, he was pleased that he had chosen the manager had given him the ticket of the front row. Elsie looked at him and asked,“Why are you here? I thought you were here for another purpose. You don’t like noisy places, and it’s about to get loud.”Oswald felt happy that she didn’t feel burdened speaking to him in front of the crowd. He smiled and responded to her,“I wanted to have some fun time as well. I heard the crowd from the ot
While the love birds were chatting in the car as they drove, the police car was chasing after a land cruiser. The posh car was driving at top most speed as the car could take it as the police car chased after it. the cars went in circles through the city and the people wondered what was happening. Alternatively, a salon car was also being chased by another police car from the airport to the city, some people took their phones and videoed the chase while others just watched on.Two more posh cars joined the chase making the situation difficult to understand. One of the cars was being chased from the city one other from the airport and the two other posh cars were chasing after the one being chased from the city. The two cars that were being chased stopped at the same time and an older man got out his car with his hands in the air as he shouted,Let my family go, they have nothing to do with anything. I committed all the crimes. They had no hand in anything, the salon car attempted to m
He walked into the dark room, the only source of light was a bulb that was lit and shown a particular point in the room. 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. The middle aged man didn’t look up at the man even though he was in pain and that seemed to have irritated the old man. He hissed and forced his head up shouting at him,“Darren Norman, are you sure that at this juncture, you still want to keep your dignity? You were just a dog that I wanted to use to get what I wanted, now that you couldn’t, do you still think that you are of importance to me?”Darren winced as he tried to open his eyes, when he could a
Elsie expected the gate to open but didn’t. Confused, she tried over and over again, she pressed on the remote several times in frustration and shouted,God damn it, don’t tell me that I chose the wrong remote.She looked back and the guard was a few steps away. 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. At first she was shocked and had frozen in place until she heard footsteps behind her, she rushed out and saw a taxi parked right in front of her.Just as she was about to climb into the car, she heard him call her,Elsie, where are you going without me?She looked back at him and a tiny smile appeared on her face. She sat in the car and the car didn’t move, she remembered that she hadn’t told the driver to wait for anyone. And so, Elsie asked,I don’t remember telling you to wait for him, why are you still here?Oswald entered the car and answered her question,It’s becaus
Are you going to take them back?He asked again trying to get the answer undiluted. Asking the second time seemed to have irritated Oswald as, he glared at him and said to him,You seem to forget your place sometimes, I told you to separate personal relationship from work relationship. If you don’t stay in your lane, you will end up getting fired.Rod sneered and asked,And if I end up getting fired, will we still meet up and drink our asses off? After all your best friend had lost his job.You know that I am a busy person, and so, I wouldn’t have found the time. Oswald retorted looking directly on the laptop.Rod smiled and responded to him,You would really find the time as you have signed off everything that you own to Miss Elsie, what will you be doing but drinking in day light?Oswald snorted and looked at his watch then he said to Rod, I will be done looking through this in a few minutes and I will be going that old man for my wife.Rod smiled and said as if speaking to himself,
Elsie felt that he was being too rude and so, he slapped his hand shyly and glared at him. 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. I treated her badly because I was looking elsewhere but when I finally looked at her, I knew that I didn’t want to lose her. 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. You ae saying if there’s something to be said, you will be the one to
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? Elsie thought, she shrugged and was about to lay her head down once again when she thought, If he is going to answer my calls, does that mean all my calls? Including that of Oswald’s? 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
Dwight along with Hulda and Oswald sat at the dining table the next day, everyone ate in silence until Dwight spoke, “Bro, I never knew that you would do something like this in the name of love. 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.
Several men are brought out of the house, some on trailers and others held by the waist, some carried in the arms and some covered with cloths to their heads. 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. When she got to him, she bent on one knee and held his head with a wicked expression on her face, she questioned, What? Did you think you wer
