Thump
"Come in," Nicole says as Susan Johnson, the director's own associate, strolls into her office.
"How may I help you?" Nicole inquired.
"Good day, Miss Nicole. You are required in the director's office at this moment," Susan said, passing the administrator message to her.
"OK, I will be there shortly." Nicole expresses tranquility as Susan gestures to her head and heads out of the workplace.
"Tina, I need to go now; I have something to take care of," Nicole says.
"OK, bye, be careful," Tina says.
"Better believe it, deal with yourself as well, and remember to eat," Nicole tells her.
"Sure, I will. Bye," Tina says as she hangs up.
Nicole Scott is a 21-year-old woman who works as a dermatologist and also serves as the managing director of the Jordan Cosmetics company.
She has been in the industry for three years, thanks to her parents, Mr. Bradley and Mrs. Irene Scott, who assisted her in obtaining the position.
"Why would the Chairman want to see me in the middle of the night?"
"I just hope everything is fine," Nicole said as she stood up from her chair, arranged her hair, and got properly dressed.
She finally leaves her office and goes to the chairman's office.
The doorbell rings.
Nicole continues to knock as she receives no response; she begins to suspect that Susan is playing with her, but Susan would never do such a thing.
Mr. Gilbert Jordan, the chairman and owner of Jordan Cosmetic Industry, a 58-year-old man of average height, was on the phone when he heard the knock on his office door.
"I'll call you back in an hour or so, okay," he says to the person on the phone before hanging up and placing the phone on his desk.
"Yes, come in," Mr. Gilbert says as the door slowly opens and Nicole walks in.
"Mr. Gilbert, you sent for me," Nicole says, perplexed as to why the chairman had sent for her.
It was so uncalled for that, despite the fact that the Chairman and her parents were friends, he never once summoned her.
Nicole, on the other hand, never went to him; all information from him was passed through Susan, as was all information from the employees; it was completely unnecessary.
"I sent for you, Miss Nicole."
"Please take a seat," Mr. Gilbert says as he motions to the chair in front of him.
"Mr. Gilbert, is everything all right?" Nicole inquired of the chairman.
"Yes, everything is fine."
"Don't worry about it; just relax, okay?" As Nicole sat down, the chairman's gaze traveled around her body.
Something was wrong here; with the way the chairman kept staring at her, she was convinced the old man was up to no good.
Mr. Gilbert picks up a file and hands it to her; she had no idea, but she was so tense when she collected the file and quickly stood up to leave his office.
"Not yet, return," Mr Gilbert said to me.
She suspected he was up to no good.
"Chairman, is there anything else you would like to tell me?" Nicole posed her question with assurance, but she was secretly terrified—and she had no idea why.
"Is everything okay, Miss Nicole?" You appear to be rushing, so please take a seat. She was requested to sit down, and Mr. Gilbert gestured for her to do so by pointing to the same chair she had been sitting on moments earlier.
While the chairman continued to fixate on her from head to toe, Nicole walked in and sat down to wait to hear what he had to say.
"Why is he staring at me like that?" Nicole questioned herself as she made an effort to compose herself.
"Open the file," the chairman commanded, as quickly she picked up the file from her laps and opened it.
After which, she brought out the document that was inside.
"You can read, right?" He asked again, and I felt uncomfortable with his eyes all over me.
"Yes, sir, I can read," she replied, wondering why she would not know how to read; apart from being scared, she really wanted to know what was written inside the document, but certainly not here in his office. But what can she do?
"Read it," he commanded, and immediately she started reading what was written inside the document.

After reading it to the last word, she felt like she was going to lose consciousness; she thought it was a dream because she never expected that she would be promoted, let alone promoted to Chief Executive Officer.
"Are you done reading the content in the paper?" Mr. Gilbert asked, and she assumed he saw the change in her expression.
"Yes, sir, I cannot believe this. Thank you so much for... " Nicole couldn't finish up her statement when Mr. Gilbert interrupted her.
"NOT SO FAST, MISS NICOLE SCOTT."

She was frozen at the chairman's order as she raised her face and stared at him. "You have to pay the price to get what is actually written down there; you use what you have to get what you want, that's the saying right, Nicole," Mr Gilbert says as he gets up from his chair and walks to the window in his office. "I don't understand you, Mr. Gilbert; you are speaking in parables. If you don't mind, I would ask that you go straight to the point," Nicole asked. Now that feeling of being scared ten minutes ago which she obviously forgot, had come back in a thousand folds and totally consumed her. She knew something wasn't right, starting from the moment Mr. Gilbert asked for her presence in his office. "Sure, I will go straight to the point," Mr. Gilbert said as he closed the window curtains and headed to where Nicole was sitting and started fondling her hair. "You know you are a nice, talented, and beautiful young lady, right?" "I would sincerely love to give you this posit

TINA'S POV "Nicole, oh my gosh, this is New York!" I exclaimed. The city was splendid. It was on the outskirts of Mexico. Of course, it took us an hour or so to get here without traffic. Oh my goodness, it's been a year since I came here, and everything here has changed so much. We were standing in front of McSorley's Old Ale House, one of the popular bars in New York. I knew this would happen that day when Nicole told me we should go out to get some fresh air. This wasn't our class; we actually didn't belong here, but right now I have no say in it, and I loved it. "Oh my gosh, this air is worth it," I exclaimed immediately. I felt the air drive its way into my sweat pores and give me lots of goosebumps. "Nicole," I called her as I checked my sides but couldn't find her. I got my way through the bouncers; thank goodness I didn't dress awkwardly. "At least I didn't dress like a commoner," I said to myself. Finally, I found Nicole at the counter; she was talking to the

"YOU WILL PAY DEARLY FOR THIS," he said furiously.He said as he stormed out of the bar, and at that moment I couldn't ascertain what was going on, I didn't know if it was Nicole or the interview letter I received, or when I bumped into the handsome man, or when I threw up on the handsome man, or when he told me I would pay dearly for what I did to him."Oh my gosh, life is so unfair," I whispered to myself as I sat on the tiled floor near the counter.I have always wanted this job, but now that I got the interview, I don't know why I was scared and feeling so sick." Oh, Christina," I said as I simultaneously used my hands to hit my head over and over again."I forgot this was the effect of the drink I had moments ago," I said to myself as I managed to get up and staggered out of the bar as I thought about Nicole. I just couldn't leave her here, and she brought me here, it would be so rude to go without her.After arguing with myself about my thoughts, I finally concluded that she wo

TINA I started moving towards the building, and of course, I had to take the elevator to the second floor because I was already a few minutes late. I entered the elevator and pressed the second-floor button, and in less than five minutes I was already on the second floor. I practically moved at a fast pace, I went to the receptionist's table and couldn't believe what I saw, where the receptionist was placed was like where the general manager of one of those minor companies had their office, but here in this company, a receptionist was enjoying it. I forgot that I had an interview the moment I let my mind become endorsed by the beauty of the place, It is heaven on earth, I also saw some men in suits moving out of the company. Oh, I remember that Seamus Group of Companies' share price rose today, and that would help me in getting this job because probably anyone who was going to interview me would be happy about the news and wouldn't waste time trying to employ me. I snapped out o

And truly, I envied her, she just looked like Nicole in terms of character. "Luca," she called out, and I wondered if the person was the receptionist she was talking about. "Luca," she called out again as she entered the office where the discussion was held. A bronze-skinned, blue-eyed guy turned. "Annabelle... I'm so sorry, I did not hear you calling," Luca apologized to her as he stared at me. "No offense taken," Anabelle stated, and I think that was true because it was clear that he didn't hear her calling him. "And who do we have here?" Luca asked while gesturing his hand out for a handshake. "Hi Luca, my name is Christina Herbert," I replied as I stretched out my hands to return his handshake, it would be rude if I didn't, and this was my first day in the Seamus Group of Companies, so I would not want to make enemies so fast, even though I haven't gotten the job. "Luca, please, I need you to take Christina to Mr. Aaron's office, she is here for an interview," Anna

Mr. Aaron stared at his phone screen for some seconds and signed before he dropped his phone and looked at me. "Okay, like I was saying, work here is not like work in other companies. Other companies resume work by 7:30 a.m., but we resume here by 8:00 a.m., well, that's a thirty-minute difference, hahahaha, and since you are applying for the post of a secretary, you are going to end your day depending on the CEO's schedule. "Once his schedule states that he leaves early, you are lucky to leave early, and once his schedule states that he leaves late, then you are also to leave late." "That is the most important duty you have to uphold, for the rest, the CEO will tell you that," Mr. Aaron explained so nicely that anyone would understand him without asking a single question. "Okay, sir," I replied. But something was baffling me, I needed to ask this question. Was he considering giving me this job, or has he given me the job just like that without asking me any questions?

TINA I had lots of questions, like how much my salary would be, because that was the most important of all, and I needed to know how much I would be paid after obeying the rules and regulations. I could not afford to work for nothing. "Sir, do you mind if I get to ask you another question?" I asked him with a hint of fear in my eyes and shaky hands because I didn't want him to consider me irrelevant for asking too many questions. "No, I don't mind at all." "Just ask me anything you need to know, my time will soon be up here," Mr. Aaron said as he smiled at me with a facial expression that indicated I was free to ask any question. "Okay, please don't mind my manners, but how much am I going to be paid for this post I am going to handle?" I asked him as I rubbed my hands together on my body. "Yeah, actually I didn't forget to tell you that, but it seems I forgot after all." "You will be paid the sum of $80,000 per month for handling the post of secretary." Mr. Aaron replied

"My heart aches badly because you call me your secretary and your submissive, yet you pushed me out of your car under the burning sun because I fell asleep while you were away. You poured away the dish I prepared because I did not ask you if you wanted to eat lunch. Why?" Tina flared out as she hung her pyjama shirt on her shoulder and rushed to Mr. Gavriel as she held his t-shirt collar so tight."What the hell are you doing? How dare you touch me!" Mr. Gavriel asked."I don't care... I absolutely do not care... What are you going to do to me now, hmm? Kill me? Hit me? I freaking do not care because I can endure the pain. Any pain you inflict on me, I absolutely do not care. Who the hell do you think you are?" Tina replied as she slowly released her grip on his collar, then put her hands on her forehead and faced the floor.She massaged her head vigorously as if she were insane... truly, she was hurt... she couldn't take it anymore... It was already too much... she was too young to b

Ivy drove straight to Gavriel's house, then she packed her car beside her brother's car in front of the mansion. Everything was bright as a result of the street lights.From her car, she saw a young lady who looked so angry walk out of the house and stop as she looked at Ivy's car for a moment, then sighed as she continued walking down to the gate.Ivy thought as much because she knew her brother's capabilities... he loved flirting with women and brought them to his home to finish up the work.She had tried her best to tell him that flirting with women was not life and that he should find a woman if he was not ready to have another lover... At least the woman would be able to take care of his sexual fantasies and needs, but no, he does not want that... he calls women who satisfy man's needs mistresses, and he does not want someone to be above him, rather he would be above them.Ivy put on her shoes, which she had removed as a result of the pain and stress of the traffic, then picked u

"Mr. Gavriel, what are you doing? Please do not do this to me." Tina pleaded, but still, Mr. Gavriel didn't mind as he made her look at the fire coming out of the burner as the heat of the fire started forming sweat on her face and her hair began to shrink."Look at it," Mr. Gavriel ordered, as he did not move her head but made her stay in a position that she would not be able to move.Tina was in so much pain as she felt her hair lose weight... the hair she loved so much shrank right before her very eyes, and then when she could not bear it any longer, she gathered enough strength to forcefully push Mr. Gavriel away and put off the burner.Alexandra heard a series of noises coming out of the kitchen, and she got up and rushed to see for herself what was going on.She entered the kitchen, and what she saw got her upset, but on the other hand, she was happy because Mr. Gavriel was punishing Tina for ruining their night, and she was also happy because she got what she seemed to get by s

"Mr. Gavriel, I think there is a fire outbreak... " Tina said she rushed into the room immediately, and they both gave her killer daggers."What did you say? A fire outbreak in my house?" Mr. Gavriel stammered as he tried to get up with the glass cup in his hand."Gavriel, drink so that the cup would not fall and break," Alexander said, persuading Mr. Gavriel to drink from the contents of the cup, and Tina's heart started beating fast, and then she began to hiccup.Mr. Gavriel stood up from the bed, still throwing killer daggers at Tina, as the glass cup fell from Mr. Gavriel's hand, and they all looked at the floor where the glass fell with different thoughts in their minds.Finally, Tina was happy that she succeeded in making Mr. Gavriel not drink any content in the cup, and Alexandra was so upset that her facial expression could kill anyone who came close to her. But Mr. Gavriel did not notice anything that was going on as he rushed out of the room to check what caused the fire out

Nicole got angry at herself for not being able to bring up a nice conversation, and now the man she had been waiting for so she could see him once again had left because of her inability to talk—the man she had been dreaming of, the man who had always been on her mind."I would not have replied to him like that, definitely not in that manner... he must have gotten upset and left," Nicole says to herself as she looks around to search for him in the direction he walked to earlier, but she could not find him."God, he is not even in this bar again... I really need to do something tonight... I really need to see him right now," She added as she got up from the chair she was sitting on and went outside the bar. She opened her car door and threw her phone and handbag at the back seat as he hopped into the driver's seat and zoomed off.She drove through the busy late-night roads of New York as she was not the scared type... she even drove at midnight and very early in the morning.She drove

Luca walks around while he stares at his phone screen, waiting for his sister to pick up his call.He kept on trying as he wondered why she was not picking up his call. He hoped she was in good condition.Luca had arrived from the office thirty minutes ago because there was too much traffic, then he remembered Tina's chest and wanted to help out.Jessica is a 20-year-old young lady who just graduated from the University of Oxford. She's 5 feet tall, has perfect emerald eyes, bra-length black hair, and a very nice face size that could make anyone who stares at her go crazy and ends up drooling for her perfect sparkling eyes. She's a beauty with a brain.She tries her possible best not to bother her parents after she graduates from school as she decides to get a job in New York. At that point, she begins to live with her elder brother, Luca, who was working as a receptionist but was getting a larger salary than hers.Luca and Jessica graduated from different colleges...

"I would have loved to pour a little, but no, I would not do that... I will pour the full substance, so just get ready when you find yourself in a horrible situation when you wake up, and then you will be the father to my unborn child," she said and chuckled as she caressed her belle and poured the whole content into the glass cup and poured the juice on top of it. Then she looked around and smiled as she walked to the section where cutlery was packed, and she took a spoon and stirred the mixture, and they all blended."I am doing this so you would not know if you threw your seeds inside my body because you hate throwing your seeds into someone but when you drink this, you would be so weak and do everything according to my bidding and when you do not know what transpired, you would happily accept that you are the father of my unborn child because you will believe what I tell you and also after this experience you would never maltreat or treat any woman like you do now rather you woul

"You care a lot about your family," Alexandra said as she rubbed her hands over his body."Exactly, they are my family, so there is no need for you to interfere in my family's life... my business here is with you, and when I am done, I will pay you, and you find your way to your own family," Mr. Gavriel said furiously. He hated when people interfered in his family life... he usually said those people were irresponsible because they only wanted to know about other people, but they obviously could not take care of themselves or their family.This man is a beast, but someone must bend you down, she said to herself and smirked."I never meant it that way," Alexandra said, surprised at the way he replied to her statement."Come on, let me take you to my home... Let us finish up this business... I need to sleep," Mr. Gavriel said as he stood up and picked up his phone from the table.Perfect timing... when I am done with you, you will go and apologise to my boss, Alexandra said to herself

She walked towards the counter as she placed her hand on it and made her order. She was so weak and needed to sleep. "I need a glass of Americano," Nicole said as she rested her head on her hand. Raymond turned at the sound of the familiar voice he just heard beside him, and he saw a lady, but he could not see her face because she rested it on her hand. He waited silently for her to raise her face so he could see her face and know if she was the person he really needed to see. "Ma'am, your drink is available," the bar attendant said as he tried to wake her up, but Raymond collected the drink and paid for it. "I will serve her the drink, so do not worry... you can get back to work," Raymond said, and the bar attendant nodded and continued what he was doing. Raymond just wanted to try his luck as she stared at the lady in front of him. She looked exactly like Nicole—her stature, her hair, her resembling voice. He just needed to find out who the lady in front of him was. Then he rai
