She sat on the couch, her hair scattered and messy, her mascara drawn on her face because of her tears. Her mother sat beside her, her palm slowly caressing her back. Tess’s constant sobs was all over the house, her father sat on the dinner chair slowly sipping wine and his eyes looking elsewhere.Anyone that took a look would know that he has something serious on his mind. The house help brought in dinner and said to Hubery,Sir, please may I serve the food?Her words fell on deaf ears and so, she walked towards Megan and Tess and repeated her words. Megan looked up at her and shouted saying,To hell with you, do you think any of us is in the mood to eat? Take that food from the table!!!Her words seemed to have awoken Hubery from his thoughts and so, he responded to the house help,Serve the food, I am going to eat. If those two won’t eat, no one will force them to.Tess looked in the way of her father and sobbed, she got up from the sofa and walked closer to her father. Hubery didn
Oswald was in his office looking through files when his phone dinged with a message. It was from Elsie,Mr. Crofts, I would like to be meet you at five pm today I’d you are free. Reply to me if you are occupied but if you can make time, I will meet you there at the location that I have sent on your phone.Oswald read through the message with an unhappy expression on his face, when he was done, he kept the phone aside and whispered to himself,I would have been happy if you didn’t call me by my surname. So, it seems yet again, this is a business meeting. Hmm.But then, he took the telephone on the phone and called Rod,Rod, cancel all my appointments for the evening, I am going to meet a business associate.One that didn’t an appointment? Must be a very important one. Rod said almost laughing.This seemed to have irritated Oswald because he shouted through the phone,Rod, I have told you to know your place in the office. We’re you just teasing your boss? And who said I was going to mee
Oswald tilted his head slightly and wondered the reason Darren would escape from prison when he had to serve for only two years,What’s the rush? It’s months already, he could be freed. Why did he escape?He nodded his head towards Elsie and said to her,You don’t need to worry yourself, I will find him for you. A few days will do.Elsie gave him an appreciative smile and said to him,Thank you. When you find him, I will still depend on you to help me ask him about my father’s case. I don’t think he will be willing to tell me the truth if it’s me.Oswald agreed and looked at his time, it was seven o’clock already and so, Oswald stood up and said to Elsie,I will drop you off, I don’t trust your safety now that, that bastard is out there.Elsie shook her head about to refuse but she remembered their first argument and decided to pay beed to him. They arrived at the parking lot and while Oswald was helping her into her car, a light flashed in their way. And the sound of a picture taken
In the huge mall, she had bought several others, shoes and bags that her shopping cart was flowing out. The sales girl had some on her arms, even though she had a bright smile on her face, one could see how her arm had crouched. But then, she couldn’t complain, after all, she was going to earn a lot from the sales. But then, the lady shopping didn’t seem to have much interest in the clothes she was buying and that worried her a little.Tess stopped at a particular dress and stopped, it was a white sleeveless dres. It had crystals sown on the chest area. And a flare from the waist to the knee, she walked closer to the dress and she touched it slowly. It felt soft in her hand and she suddenly smiled and said to the sales girl,I will be taking this.The sales girl nodded her head and removed it, she attempted to add it the heap of clothes she had already selected and Tess asked her,What do you think you are doing? I said I want that dress, why are you adding them the those useless pile
It was a new day and Elsie got ready for work, she dressed up in a blue navy suit and trousers with a white shirt as top. When she took her keys, she took her phone as well and logged in online, she searched the news on herself but found nothing that was the latest news. Elsie sighed and said to herself,Why do I feel that something bad is about to happen? Someone took a picture of meus but hasn’t uploaded it on line for two days straight? Hmmm, maybe I am just being too conscious about it.She arrived at her work place and as usual greeted everyone and got a good response too. Elsie thought the day was just fine and she shouldn’t worry too much about anything. But then, she remembered that there would a board meeting later in the morning and so, she started preparing for it.Elsie entered the meeting room with files in her hands ready to elaborate with the board members but then, her feet stilled at the gate when she saw who was sitting on her chair. Linda gave her a wide grin when s
Everyone looked at the door to see who spoke and their lips hanged open when they saw who it was. It was none other but Mr. Alfred, he sat in his wheel chair and was pushed into the room. His eyes glanced at everyone in the room and landed on Linda. It was like she was electrocuted from the chair when Linda sprang from the chair calling,Grandpa, you are here. You can sit down.Mr. Alfred glared at her and then tutted before saying,Tut, tut, tut, you are still the same from how I knew you. You haven’t changed, does your mother know that you are even here making a fool of yourself? Linda, I thought going abroad and mingling among those foreigners could teach you to be wise. My guess was wrong, you have turned into a complete idiot.Tess hissed and walked closer to Elsie holding to her shirt and with warning eyes threatens,Even if you don’t loose your job, I will make sure that you are alienated from this city. You want to steal my man from me, you can’t that I promise you.Mr. Alfred
At the parking lot, Oswald left Tess’s hand after dragging her out of the company. When he left her hand, she almost fell to the ground but she stood on her feet. Instead of rebuking him, her face turned gentle and she apologized slowly,I am sorry, I know you still love me but that witch just won’t leave you alone. I promise you, I will do anything to make her leave your back.Oswald sneered and said to her,There’s no need for you to make that promise, could it be that I haven’t told it to your face that’s the reason that you haven’t gotten into your head?Tess took a step forward and leaned into Oswald and tried to kiss him even though people were watching. Oswald pushed her back and raised his hand out of anger, Tess rushed back and looked at Oswald as if she was seeing a ghost. Oswald sighed and kept his hand into his pockets clenching them inside. He gritted his teeth and said to Tess,Who is now throwing herself at me? Tess, let me point blank with you. I don’t love you, and I
Oswald arrived at his obvious, Rod saw him entering and followed him inside wanting to ask him the result of his visit. But then, when he saw his expression, he felt like cursing himself for being too curious, it was said that curiosity killed the cat and it seemed that, he was the cat in the scenario. Oswald was looking directly on his desk yet there was nothing on it.It seems something is on his mind, I should go and return later. Else, hmm.He turned to go but then, Oswald heard his footsteps and said,Rod, do you think I should overlook this issue? I don’t trust Tess and get family would let Elsie be. Is there something I should do to make them get off her back?Rod sighed and thought,Is a good thing he isn’t angry but wants advice but how do I answer to this question?He cleared his throat and answered,Sir, this is a hard question to answer, this is a matter of feelings and everyone has their opinion about it. I am yet to get in a relationship, how do I know how the matters of
