WRITER’S POVBianca hissed loudly, her face etched in total disgust as she dumped her bag on the bed.Her phone had been continuously beeping and vibrating in her bag all the while which she intentionally ignored.Sighing, she walked to the fridge, took out a can of beer and as she pulled the lid backward, the can made a fizzling sound and creaked open. She gulped half of it at a go and exhaled repeatedly.When she dropped the can on the table briefly, she scoffed as the flash of what happened at Lawrence’s house rose in her head. The mere thought of it irritated her.She clenched her teeth angrily and gripped the can beer gulping down the remaining bit of it at once. Then she squeezed the can tightly until all the air in it was gone and then dumped it angrily in the nearby trash.“That bitch...I should really teach her a lesson...” she snarled....AN HOUR AGO...After Lawrence had agreed that Bianca live in the same house with them, Veronica had gotten back home and on opening the do
LAWRENCE’S POVNo matter how much I thought about it, I just couldn’t understand what happened; why Bianca had gotten that enraged and left my house.It was a minor thing and I feel it wasn’t intentional from Veronica. Why did she have to get so quickly annoyed and stormed out?I called her several times on phone but she didn’t pick only to send me a text message after several days.“I’m sorry how I left the other day. I was just a little on edge. I will call you soon. Bye! Kisses!”Frankly, I felt bad. However, I was understanding of her actions. I could have felt worse if the woman I loved is openly married to a different man. Whether contracted or not.I pulled open the drawer beside me and took out a series of documents. Documents I have to look through and stamp my signature. A knock sounded on my door as I began to sign the documents.“Enter,” I said knowing it would be my secretary, Ms Jones.“Sir, there is a document that just entered. Your signature is needed.” She said as sh
WRITER’S POV“Is he gone?” Bianca asked Charley as he walked into the room.He walked straight to the bed where she sat and pulled her up.“Yes, he is gone. Or do you want him to stay back?” he murmured in a raspy way as he pulled her in towards himself, circled his right arm around her waist awhile he squeezed her butt hard with the other hand.She gasped, “You naughty boy! You startled me!” and yelped.His eyes spread into a smirk. He loved it when she called him naughty. His little man was already getting excited.Her lips curved up into a flirtatious smile.Charley’s eyes narrowed and he gulped knowing exactly what was coming next.She snaked her arm around his neck. “Tell me, aren’t you happy I’m here...”She didn’t let him answer as she smashed her lips against his own and kissed him.Charley let her kiss him for a few seconds and made to take charge but she quickly pulled away.“Is something wrong?” he inquired, flustered.“Shhhhhhhh” she placed a finger against his lips.“Let
WRITER’S POVBefore Lawrence called Veronica, she had already seen the news of his alleged affairs.Knowing how his lover had treated her the last time, she was supposed to be indifferent about whatever the media did to them but she couldn’t help but wonder if Lawrence was alright. It will be a hassle if the identity of his lover gets revealed.After about an hour, her phone beeped and it happened to be a text from Lawrence.Talk about the devil, She thought as she read through the text.He had asked she met him at home. Veronica was surprised, wondering why he would want to meet at home.“Shouldn’t he be with his lover right now...” she thought out loud.Perhaps he just need me for damage control as usual. She scoffed, grabbed her purse and started out of her office.As she headed to take the elevator, she noticed the unusual stares from the workers. They whispered within themselves while looking at her but will pretend to shush when she looks at them.That’s all they do, gossip. Dam
How the fuck didn’t I realize this?“Sir?” Jessie called him, “Is anything wrong?”Seeing him burst into laughter abruptly had surprised him.Lawrence shook his head as his laughter gradually died down. “Take me to her.” he said with a clenched jaw. He swore to deal with this reporter mercilessly.Yes, I should use her and set an example to the other reporters, he reasoned.They got down from the car and headed into the café.Lawrence and Jessie stylishly walked past a cluster of people they had suspected to be the reporters and trotted into the café.Jessie led him to the conspicuous corner of the café where they joined a table with two women seated around it.“Hello director Lawrence,” The taller woman amongst the two had quickly stood to her feet and greeted Lawrence when he took off his glasses.“Sit, sit,” Lawrence waved dismissively as he took the seat across.“So, you must be the one that took the picture?” Lawrence questioned as he starred seriously at her.The woman blinked i
“Mother!” Veronica squealed excitedly the moment she saw her mother.“Oh my! Look how dazzling my beautiful daughter is glowing!” Mrs Nicholas grinned and pulled her in for a hug.“Hey! You didn’t see me? okay, so you missed only mum right?” Veronica’s sister feigned sadness as Veronica hugged their mother tight.Veronica pulled away from her mother’s arms and faced her sister, Matilda. She frowned and rolled her eyes.Why should I miss you? you should have been the one married to that jerk and not me.She was going to slam at her sister but instead the frown in her face faded into a big smile.“I missed you too sis!”“Silly girl, now you realize it?” Her sister pulled her in with a big grin.“Home has been pretty quiet since you left...” she said as they slowly disengaged from the hug.“Yes, we miss you,” Mrs Nicholas added.Veronica made a face. “Right? That is why you guys should have let me stay with you, so should I come back home? urh, urh ? urh...mom, I should come back home u
WRITER’S POV“Sir, about the Williams Motors Project. I would like to send off the signed documents now.” Lawrence’s secretary, Miss Jones said as she stopped in front of Lawrence’s desk.“Ah, right...” Lawrence pulled open the drawer where he had kept the documents for the project.He stared longer at it, still uncomfortable with just signing it off. He already asked Jessie to find something, any evidence at all he could show his father to prove his suspicious.He glanced at his wrist-watch, it was past an hour since Jessie left to check for the last time. He just has to wait for a little more.“Sir, is there a problem?” Miss Jones asked.Lawrence gave a shake of head. “You may go back to work; I will let you know when I sign on it.”“I’m sorry, but I must send the document to the office in charge very soon.”Lawrence thought for a while, “How soon? If I’m not mistaken, the board meeting will be in errm,” he glanced at his wrist watch before he continued, “In exactly two hours... Si
WRITER’S POVWILLIAMS GROUP MEETING ROOMSTATUS: BOARD MEMBERS MEETING IN PROGRESS.“Chairman Williams appoints Director Oliver Williams in charge of Williams Motor production,” the meeting anchor started. There was a scanty clap from some of the people in the meeting. Oliver Williams nodded towards them a thin smile. He couldn’t have been more pleased. It was a moment he had waited for.“However, while Chairman Williams has given a go ahead, all that remained is the signature of director Lawrence. Erm, Director Lawrence? Care to let the board members know what’s keeping you from leaving your signature on the project?”Okay, calm down, Lawrence. It’s now or never...Lawrence felt the gaze of almost all the men settle on him. He took silent deep breaths then he pushed the microphone to his reach and spoke into it. “Urh, forgive my reluctance on signing off on the project. However, I have my reasons.”There was a bit of murmur amongst the men.“What reasons do you have, director Lawrenc
