Picking up her disturbing land phone, Stacy sluggishly placed it on her ear.

"Hello" she mouthed slowly

"Babe! I've been calling for ages, what happened to your phone? I had to go to my contact book to get this damn old number." Her best friend sounded concerned from the other side of the phone.

"Are you sick? You didn't even call me to tell me that you won't be at work today, I was patiently waiting since morning but I perceived something to be wrong when I didn't see you throughout the day" she breathed out.

"Bethany, I'm sorry, I haven't been myself since yesterday" Stacy replied slowly. " I'll make it up to you, I promise" she whined.

"No need, I'm already at your doorstep, come open up"

"What? Stacy rushed out, opening the door. She saw Bethany In front of the door.

"Hi", she greeted and got her way in while Stacy followed suit.

Bethany slumped on the fluffy couch, picked up the remote and switched on the TV. "Good morning Stacy, jeez! You look worn out and pale. What's popping? She asked with her eyes fixated on the TV.

"A lot happened" Stacy replied "but I'm fine, I'll tell you every single detail later. I promise." She stood up and went towards the refrigerator. She brought out a can of yoghurt with two glass cups.

"Here we go!" Stacy's lips curled up to a smile as she dropped the youghurt on the glass icy table infront of Bethany.

"And where are my pancakes?" Bethany asked grabbing the can as she poured the substance into the glass cup.

"I couldn't get myself to do it this morning." Stacy explained as she turned to the TV. She took a glass of already filled yoghurt sipping it gently.

"Someone bought our company from Mr Vin." Immediately, Stacy spat out the yoghurt, she took in earlier. What? Her eyes widened

"Yeah, Yeah. Mr Vin will still be there, but not the owner again. Something happened. I heard that the new owner is a young attractive man and he will be coming tomorrow." Stacy's gaze was at Bethany as she listened attentively to what her best friend was blabbing.

"So, we were instructed to dress our best tomorrow, that's the new gist in town. I'm sure picking my best gown." Bethany chuckled and gulped down her yoghurt.

"You are not serious, they said we should dress well. I hope you don't have ulterior motives, hmmm, I gat my eyes on you." She pointed two of her fingers to her eyes and then to Bethany.

"It's late already, I'll get going" Bethany stood and moved swiftly to the door. Stacy followed suit. "See ya on your best outfit babe" Bethany winked and stepped out. "Bye! She yelled.

"Thanks for the info! Bet, you will take the stage tomorrow, of course" she chuckled and slammed her door.

She went to the bathroom, brushed her teeth and refreshed herself. Entering her room, she went straight to her wardrobe. "We gat to dress our best!" She sighed and started checking out her outfits.

"Yeah! This one will be good, I just want to look simple and sleek."

She yawned and brought out the cloth. She was so tired. The rack wasn't far away. She selected a pair of shoes, heels specifically, not really high.

Leaving her closet, having taken care of her clothes. She took a cake from the refrigerator along with juice for dinner.

"Tomorrow is going to be a big day"

*********

"Drop the files! Clear the tables, did you call in the cleaners this morning? There's no time, we've got only 30mins before the new CEO arrives. Go! Go! Go!..." A young man in a suit kept on yelling, jamming his hands together.

"Good morning Jeremy" Stacy greeted the man giving orders earlier on.

"Good morning Ms Stacy dear" his serious face suddenly began beaming with smiles. "Sorry for your health, I hope you are now better?" He asked.

"Yes, you know today's the big day" she shrugged with a smiley face. " I'll get going to the office, see you later" she headed towards the stairs as different people roamed around attending to different activities.

"Wooow, wooow! Stacy, you look gorgeous! Bethany yelled seeing Stacy.

Stacy wore a plain grey skirt which stopped right below her knees with a white shirt and low silver heels.

"Jeez, Bet, I'm flattered" she replied grinning from ear to ear.

"We have got less than 30mins, everybody hurry up!" Jeremy yelled.

"Oops' I'll be going up"

"Down! Bethany added.

Stacy rushed to her office, arranged her table and started working on some documents.

*******

All employees should assemble in the hall room, right now!

All employees should assemble in the hall room, right now!

Hearing the loud voice, all the employees rushed to the hall room.

*I think the new CEO is here.

*Woow, everyone is looking his or her best.

Immediately, a luxurious car stopped in front of the company. A young man in a tuxedo stepped out. He had black shades on, dusting himself he moved into the company.

Everyone's eyes widened. The ladies held their mouths in disbelief.

*He's ravishing!

*Can I still concentrate on my work with him in the picture?

He looks familiar" Stacy muttered inaudibly. "Let him remove his black shades first," she thought

Moving in, he went straight to Vin who stood close to the entrance door to welcome him.

Greetings Mr Jason, we are honoured to meet you. If you won't mind" Mr Vin gestured him inside.

The employees stood at the left and right sides creating a large space in the middle.

Mr Vin hurriedly caught up to him. Four people stood Infront. Mr Jason stopped while Mr Vin began his introduction.

"This is Ms Susan, the manager"

"Mr Philip, the personal assistant"

"Mr Jeremy, the director"

"And lastly Ms Stacy, the secretary and best employee of last month and years."

Jason removed his black shades at the sight of Ms Stacy. Stacy stiffened Immediately she saw his face.

"Could it be her? Shit, it's definitely her." He stared at her emotionlessly and moved on with Mr Vin as he led him to different places in the company.

Stacy excused herself, with her heels hitting the hard tiles. She entered the bathroom feeling shocked, staring at the mirror.

"Him? Him? Why him? She bats her lashes. "It shouldn't be, he was kind but I don't want to see him again, Now I'm going to be working as his secretary? Jeez," she facepalmed herself and turned, slightly leaning on the sink.

Immediately, someone entered and she flinched. She greeted her and left the bathroom.

She went to her office and slumped on her seat. "This is work, that was then, he said I shouldn't talk to him, then that's what I would do.

After a few hours, Jeremy entered the office. "Stacy! You are needed in the meeting room in less than 5mins. We will be having our first meeting with the new CEO." He said and left.

Stacy picked up her laptop and some other stuff and zoomed off to the hall.

Few people were seen entering the hall, within seconds, the board members were already seated.

Mr Vin walked in with the new CEO and Stacy couldn't help but roll her eyes inwardly.

Jason sat down and adjusted his suit. He cleared his throat and spoke"

"Good day everyone, as you all know I'm the new CEO but I haven't officially introduced myself. I'm Mr Jason Derrick aka Jax.

"Before we go on, I will like to make some things clear to you all. All prosperous organisations abide By norms and ethics. So shall we."

"I will give all old employees a chance, any unruly behaviour found among the old employees will be questioned or worse the particular employee fired." He kept on with the declarations while Stacy took down all necessary information.

    After the meeting, Stacy went to Jason's office to drop off the minutes of the meeting. "Hello? She greeted while Infront of the door but without receiving any response. She opened the door and walked in. No one was seen in the office, she quietly walked to the table to drop off the documents. Dropping the file, Jason came out of a semi-door and stopped at the sight of Stacy. Stacy stiffened and immediately dropped the file. Good day sir" she shivered at his sight Jason stood there without a word, he sat down and picked up the file "And this must be?" He arched his brow "The minutes of today's meeting" she mumbled inaudibly. Jason observed how nervous she was and chuckled inwardly. "Ms!"

Jason asked with his hand massaging his chin "No sir, forgive my manners." Her voice trembled "Better and

    Stacy started struggling to free herself, making petty noises as tears trailed down her face. Seeing a masked person wasn't what she expected or wanted again"Stop," the person said and removed his mask. She gasped when she saw her CEO, Jason and immediately stopped her struggles. Jason released his grip from her as she held her mouth scared.The thug from earlier passed them, still looking for her. The two stood still to avoid making noises that would attract the thug. After 5minutes straight, when it seems like the thug had gone far. Jason shifted from the girl and dipped his hands in his pants pocket as he heaved."I thought someone would have learnt her lessons after "such experience," He said, looking quite angry as he got rid of imaginary dust off his cloth."I didn't know when... Emmm... I thought I had more time... The work was..." She was still stuttering when he cut her off."Breath in and out, calm down" He assured. Stacy breathed in and out and suddenly became calm.Her face

She uttered, blinking slowly."Huh?" Jason muttered surprised. What the fuck?Stacy began hitting his chest. "I was loyal and I loved you with all my heart, but you broke my heart, she wasn't even that good looking" she put her head down, making her hair fall too.Jason kept staring at her while holding her all surprised. Immediately, she raised her head, startling Jason. She squinted her eyes and started tapping Jason's forehead with her forefinger. "Urgh, what's your prob..."

Stacy's finger trailed the wall and she switched on the lights. She quickly dropped the meal she was carrying and went straight to the bed. She sat beside Jason, staring at him closely.His eyes were closed. He lay down comfortably and smiled. "Jeez!

His phone rang and he picked it up. "I heard you did a pretty good job all alone" Stone's voice sounded happily over the phone. "Are you done talking? Jason asked hoarsely "My boys will have to retrieve it at 6 am Tomorrow get ready to crawl out from your little hiding cave. Till then mate. Stone hung the call"Urgh! What's this? He threw his phone over the bed and undressed. His stomach grumbled and he left in search of dinner. Getting to the living room, Stacy was seen sitting down on the sofa, sleeping.

    Jason observed her countenance but uttered no word. He turned to his phone, acting all engrossed with it.Stacy got in and sat down with dimmed eyes and a saddened look. "Could you please take me home? I'll like to verify something" Jason watched her with an expressionless face and asked "where? "Home" she mumbled. Oakson Alley" Jason turned to his steering wheel and moved away from the area. Oakson Alley appeared lonely and the chirping of birds could be heard. A tall tree stood above a bungalow with its branches dancing to the breeze. The breeze made sizzling sounds as the leaves rustled. Stacy stepped out of the car and ran towards the bungalow. She got to the house and knelt on the stairs, in front of it. The place was mercilessly wrecked, the door was knocked out and the windows were broken. The roof had conspicuous holes. She managed to lift herself from the stairs and rushed into the house. The appliances were broken and scattered all over the living room. She was bewildered b

    It's Monday. "Thank God, it's Monday" Stacy muttered lowly and stretched her limbs, yawning. Sighting the small clock on a table beside her bed, she jerked up from the bed "It's 5 am already, what to do? What to do?" She bit her lower lip and rushed to dress up. Ascending the stairs, she could see Jason in a tuxedo already dressed for work. He held his files as he glared at her. "I'm so sorry to keep you waiting" she squinted her eyes and caught up to him. Without uttering a word, Jason moved to the door and headed to his car while Stacy followed suit. He got into the car, waiting for her to get in. "Can't he be a gentleman and at least open the door for me?" She thought as she opened the door and sat down, pouting. The ride was silent as no one talked to each other. Stacy bit her finger nervously wondering how they will be seen together at the workplace. They got to a bus stop, some meters away from the company and the car stopped."What now? Stacy mumbled.

A male employee came in, he went straight to pick up what he came for and left with a confused look on his face. She cleaned her face and walked out of the stores, headed to her office.

Jason made to run after her when Stacy hugged him, holding him back. "Please, don't. Don't chase after her." Her voice cracked. Jason lowered his face to her in awe. "You want her to escape? She's a Mafian queen!""And my mom... Please."Jason stared at her dumbstruck, panting. He swallowed nothing and slid his gaze to see Edna, igniting her car engine to escape.

They commanded and all of them surrendered, an ambulance arrived shortly and Blaze, alongside Bethany was moved in by the medics.

She asked rhetorically, her brows hung up. She gasped and continued her jogging with a perturbed mind. Jeremy exhaled feeling so relieved that he could pass without saying anything. "I pulled it off." He smiled and hastened his steps to prepare for today's work.At the company, he met Bethany smiling nonstop as she listened to her music with an earpod. "Good morning Beth!" He greeted and she quickly lowered her music volume. "What's up, Jerry?" He squinted his eyes and folded his arms. Curiously filling his veins."I should be asking you that, you are incredibly happy."

How did he get the video?FLASHBACKWhile on the ground, groaning at the pain he was feeling, he saw a clip laying on the floor. The clip was a few inches away from Stone's leg. Jason crawled and got up to his leg. He gripped it when Stone made to run in and stylishly dragged the clip as well as sand and dirt into his fist."Don't go in, we are not done yet." He said.

    The harshness of the light had him blinking, Xavier darted his weak eyes to see a white bedsheet up above his chest. Wide-eyed, he shifted and yanked it off him. An IV needle was stuck into his wrist... And then he finally realised he was on a hospital bed in a ward. His lid lowered and he saw a head resting beside the bed. He blinked several times, trying to remember what happened before now until Bethany raised her face and drifted into a gentle smile. "You are awake." She yawned and leaned forward while he moved backwards. He shut his eyes and exhaled. "How long have I been here?""A night.""A night... and you didn't sleep here, did you?" He said this lowering his legs to the floor. Bethany ignored the question, of course, she slept. She stood up to leave and call a doctor when he gripped her hand.

She looked into his eyes, unsure of what to feel. Happy? Or Scared? She leaned back to the wall, her gaze on the floor. He watched how her countenance changed and scoffed. Then his eyes moved from her face to her injured spots including her sole. He blinked and loomed over her, carrying her in a bridal style. "Oh."

She bobbed her head and off they went.****************A man groaned and rolled off the ground. Stone's men backed away as they saw the man lying motionless, wondering if he was dead.
