Beyond The Surface Chapter 21 Shake The Feeling Of Unease
It was Saturday already, and I had a mountain of tasks ahead of me. First on the list was my hairstylist, followed by the makeup artist. I rolled out of bed around 10 AM, feeling a mix of excitement and anxiety. After a quick shower, I splashed on some fragrant body lotion that always made me feel fresh. I whipped up a quick breakfast, a smoothie loaded with fruits, before diving into some documents that needed my attention. My hairstylist wouldn’t arrive until 1 PM, leaving me with a bit of time to strategize for the launch of Pourle’s products. As I scrolled through my phone, a headline caught my eye: “Isabella Accepts Position as Ambassador for Queenk Cosmetic Company.” A chill ran down my spine. Queenk was an international brand, known for its luxurious products, and they had been competing with Pourle in the market. They had entered the Madea market two years ago and were making strides, but they hadn’t quite matched Pourle’s reputation yet. I clicked on the video, and there

“I’m so sorry,the dress is ruined,” festo continued, his voice heavy with regret. I knew he was telling the truth. I had felt something off all day, and now it made sense. “It’s okay, festo, I understand. Is there any way I can get another dress?” I asked, my heart racing in my chest. “Hmm, yes, there are a few good collections here. Hold on, let me check something,” he said before ending the call. All I could do was let out a deep sigh, sinking into the plush couch, feeling the weight of the situation pressing down on me. “The dress has been ruined,” I said, allowing my head to fall back against the cushions, frustration swirling inside me. “How did that happen?” Blessing asked, her tone laced with worry as she leaned against the doorframe. “I don’t know,” I replied, my eyes closed as I tried to block out the anxiety creeping in. “What are we going to do?” With my eyes still closed, I didn’t respond but her last question played over and over in my mind. If I decided not to at

I stepped out of my car, taking a deep breath. “Maya, you can do this,” I whispered to myself, clutching my purse tightly. As I looked around, I noticed a security guard approaching. He greeted me with a polite nod and I handed him my keys before heading toward the entrance of the banquet hall. The banquet was being held at the Presidential Hotel, the most luxurious venue in Madea and the ambiance was nothing short of breathtaking. As I walked in, I saw several people making their way inside. Glancing at my wristwatch, I realized it was already 8:30 PM , an hour and a half late. I had planned to arrive on time but now I knew I would have to stay longer than intended. Holding the edge of my dress, I made my way to the line, my heart racing. Standing there, I could feel the weight of eyes turning toward me, staring and assessing. I tried to ignore it, pretending not to notice. Being a CEO came with its own set of challenges and this was one of them. I hated large gatherings, yet here

As others joined in the dance, I couldn't wait for it to end. The moment it did, I tried to slip away but Mike insisted he wanted to introduce me to some big shots. The waiter returned my purse and Mike linked his arm with mine, leading me toward two young men seated nearby. They looked to be in their early twenties, and I couldn’t help but notice how identical they were with no difference at all. “Hello, this is Maya, the president of Stanbic Cosmetic Company,” he introduced me, pride evident in his tone. Hello, nice to meet you,” both young men said in unison, their voices smooth and charming. I smiled back, enchanted by the way they spoke. “Meet Franklin and Eleanor, the youngest sons of the president,” Mike continued. “Wow, I wasn’t expecting them to be such big shots!” I said, smiling and waving at them. Mike continued introducing me to more people and I felt grateful for his help. I was able to meet a lot of interesting individuals, each one more influential than the last

I nodded, appreciating their advice. “Thanks for the advice.”i said Just then, a young girl approached us. She was wearing a pink shirt gown with a slightly nervous expression. “Hello, everyone she greeted waving at us. Are you Maya?” she asked, looking directly at me. “Yes,” I replied, curious. “Mr. Mike wants you to meet him at the poolside,” she said. I rolled my eyes internally. “What does Mike want now?” I thought but I didn’t voice my annoyance. “Alright,” I said instead The twins exchanged glances, chuckling and giving me a look that suggested they were in on something. “Come on, you guys should stop,” I said, laughing as I waved goodbye. “We said nothing!” they protested, their laughter echoing after me. As I followed the girl through the crowd, I could sense eyes on me again. I turned briefly to see Isabella staring at me, a smirk plastered on her face. I ignored her, focusing on the girl who was leading me to Mike. We arrived at the swimming pool are

I focused on controlling my racing heart while he lifted me from the floor and guided me to the sitting area. He removed his jacket and wrapped it around my shoulders, the warmth enveloping me in a comforting embrace.“Thank you so much,” I said, locking my gaze with his.If Alex hadn’t shown up when he did, I shuddered to think of what might have happened. “But what was he doing here?suddenly realizing how unexpected his presence was.“You’re always welcome,” he replied with a gentle smile.“how did you find me?” I pressed, curiosity getting the better of me.“I’ll answer that later, but for now, you need to go home.” He extended his hand and I placed my cold fingers in his as we made our way out of the swimming area.As we held hands and walked through the back door of the hotel, I couldn’t help but steal

As I lay in bed, my mom's voice pierced through the door. "Come on Maya, we're all waiting for you!" I hastily put on my shoes, took a deep breath and glanced at my reflection in the mirror. Twenty-eight years old and my life was about to take a dramatic turn. I hurried to the living room, where my parents were waiting anxiously. "Mum, I'm here," I announced. My dad's voice was laced with urgency. "What took you so long? You'll miss your flight!" I reassured him, "I'm ready, let's go." Christi, our loyal maid, helped me with my luggage while my parents exchanged worried glances. I've known Christi since childhood, and her mom used to work for us before she passed away. My parents took Christi in and she's been like a sister ever since. As we said our goodbyes, Christi's eyes welled up with tears. I fought back my own emotions, promising her, "Don't worry, when I settle in, I'll tell Mum and Dad to send you over.We'll leave this old place behind, and start fresh." Christ

I sat at my desk, sipping my coffee and staring out the window, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. Stanbic Cooperation Company, a leading cosmetics firm, was now under my leadership. We were among the top three biggest cosmetic companies in Mayae with numerous partners from all around the world. My father, the founder of Stanbic Cooperation Company, was a man I admired greatly. He had started the company thirty years ago and through his hard work and dedication, it had grown into the successful business it was today. I remembered the countless times he would come home late at night, exhausted but still smiling, with stories of his struggles and triumphs. He would tell me about the early days, when he had to work tirelessly to get the company off the ground and how he had to overcome numerous obstacles to achieve his goals. As I grew older, I began to appreciate the sacrifices my father had made for our family and for the company. He had dedicated his life

“Don’t worry, Maya. You’re such a lovely person. You will find someone who loves you and knows your worth,” she reassured me. “True,” I said, but for now, let’s go celebrate. I parked at the hotel and we got out, the anticipation of the evening buzzing in the air. We headed toward the hotel, the same one I had visited with Mike. I couldn’t quite understand why I chose to drive here. There were plenty of nice eateries nearby, yet I made the 40-minute trip just to catch a glimpse of Alex, who had been on my mind lately. Once at the hotel,I made a reservation for a spot in the VIP section. As we settled in, I felt a mix of anxiety. Would he be here? Did he still works here?" A waiter approached and my heart raced. I hoped it would be the one person I wanted to see, but when I heard a soft, feminine voice, disappointment washed over me. My heart sank as I looked up to see a female waiter taking our order. She was friendly and efficient, but I felt let down. I could barely eat, my mi

“Congratulations, Maya,” Mike said as he approached, breaking through my thoughts. “Thank you,” I replied, my heart still racing. “A newbie has beaten me in my game. Nice work, Maya,” he said, his tone a mix of respect and playful rivalry. “I appreciate that,” I said, beaming at him. Just then, someone bumped into me, causing me to stumble slightly. Luckily, Mike caught me just in time. I looked up to see Isabella strutting past, her lips curled into a mocking smile. “Oops, my bad!” she laughed, her voice dripping with sarcasm before walking away. “Just forget her,” Mike said, shaking his head with a knowing look. As we gathered my scattered files from the floor, he looked at me earnestly. “Maya, I know you’re still upset about dinner. I’m really sorry; something very important came up,” he said, his expression sincere. “Oh, it’s fine,” I replied, brushing it off as we walked side by side toward my seat. I signaled to Blessing and Jude, who had been waiting patiently and they
Beyond The Surface Chapter 18 Awarded Contract
The video about the incident at Spring Dresses had been making waves across headlines and I couldn’t believe it had gone viral. Who would do that? Spring Dresses had strict rules—especially in the platinum section. Customers weren’t allowed to take videos or pictures. It left me feeling uneasy, wondering who might have leaked it. I decided not to dwell on it too much. After all, we were the trending topic,ex-girlfriend clashes with the present girl. Reluctantly, I clicked on the video, my heart sinking as I watched. “This is bad,” I muttered to myself. Isabella had already called me twice, ranting and shouting that I was riding on her popularity. The girl truly had a flair for drama. On the bright side, I had received a significant number of partnership requests in the last two days. “Hello, Dad,” I said as soon as the call connected. “Hi, baby, how are you?” he replied, his voice weak and distant. “I’m fine, sir. But you sound tired,are you taking your medication? When was the la
