Alpha Gabriel PovI was having a Zoom meeting with my business partners when the door swung open revealing Asher holding the document I had requested earlier. He placed it on the table before me, then casually helped himself to a can of soda from the refrigerator, his presence blending seamlessly with the room's ambiance. Asher settled into the Sofa chair patiently waiting for me to get done with the meeting."That will be all for now", I announced after a while signaling the end of the meeting, with that I clicked on the end meeting button at the bottom right corner of my system.I glanced at Asher who was engrossed with his phone and taking a sip of the soda with his other hand with his legs crossed as usual, he seemed not to notice that I was done with the Zoom meeting.I decided to go through the document he had brought, meticulously scanning each pages for potential errors or amendments.After a while, I was done without detecting any errors, I was satisfied with what he had prep
A week later…..Selena povToday, I have an appointment with my gynecologist. It's a rescheduled appointment because I have been so busy tending to orders at the bakery. The constant referrals pouring in after delivering Mrs Jones's granddaughter's birthday cake has been overwhelming.Some clients would insist that I single-handedly bake it myself while some don't care who bakes and decorates the cake as long as it comes from my bakery. Thankfully we have Charles in our midst now and I couldn't be more grateful.He joined a few days back and I would say he's exceptionally good at what he does.

I had lost count of the number of times I read the email just to be sure it wasn't an illusion.I wasn't able to get through to Asher throughout yesterday, I called him but he didn't pick up, perhaps he was busy. I decided to call him later today.Entering the shop, I spotted Norah setting up the display area, completely engrossed in what she was doing, unaware of my presence. A mischievous idea crept into my mind, and I couldn't resist the urge to give her a playful scare to get her reaction.With a suppressed giggle, I stealthily approached her, intending to catch her off guard making sure she didn't notice my presence. Just as I was about to execute my plan, she suddenly turned around, letting out a surprise yelp at the sight of me."Geez, Selena you scared me", she said, patting her chest gently."Really, sorry Norah, didn't mean to startle you", I ch
