With my head lifted high, I walked through the doors of Unique Estate construction and was immediately met with the serious atmosphere where workers are sitting by their desks with their entire concentration on their computers while others are working on files that are piled up on their desks. Though busy, some managed to raise their heads to look on as I passed by them. I knew by the looks they were giving me that they have heard something about the boss and me but I cared less. I didn't even stop to greet any of them but rather walked straight into the employee's elevator which took me straight to the tenth floor. I walked to Scalerts desk where a middle-aged man, believed to be Mr. Monnet's accountant sat waiting impatiently for me.
"Sorry I am late Mr. Torress."
"I heard being late is your lifestyle so I am not worried at all." He bluntly said, but I ignored him and lead the way to my office. Once in my offi

Mila's POV "Wow! girl you are Jealous." Alice teased through the phone. I had narrated everything that happened to her and once again, I was regretting it. "No, I am not. It is so unprofessional if you ask me. You should see how that woman was dressed she doesn't fit the corporate world." I said with detest. "Well, it is Bentley that determines who is fit and who is unfit. Anyway, when am I seeing you? You are such a busy woman." "You can't blame me, I need the money, and the only way to get it is to work. Now if you will excuse me, I need to work on some documents and emails before going to bed. I will call you tomorrow." I said as a way of preventing her from talking too much. Don't get me wrong, I love her and enjoy talking to her, but currently, I am tired and hungry and wouldn't appreciate long talks. "Okay sure, but let me know whether you will go to the party with me tomorrow so I can come and pick you up

She stretched, getting up from her double bed. The time on the wall clock read 5:15 am, a time later than her usual waking time. She rushed into her bathroom remembering that she has an important meeting at 7:00 am."Damn it! I won't be able to wash my hair like I planned."She thought to herself deciding against washing her hair due to the time. For she had barely thirty minutes to spare. She had to get some blueprints from her office before she heads to the meeting. She hurriedly took her bath before getting into the body-con office dress and blazer she picked up the night before.She took a last look at her outfit making sure her boss wouldn't have any problem with it. He seems to have problems with everything that has got s

"Miss Blaine where are you? I understand you are not at the premises?" Mr. Cohen bellowed out in anger."I-I-I-I- a-am al-almo-most tth-there s-sire." She stuttered for the first time while speaking to him."Almost there? You should be there by now you lazy fool. Just pray you don't lose this contract. If you do, don't bother coming to the office.""Excu------"The line went dead just when she was about explaining things to him. From his tone and words, she could tell he was pissed off. She had worked for him long enough to know that he hates lateness and doesn't joke with work especially when it involves money.But why? is it her fault that she had a flat Tyre and is stuck in traffic? Something she has no control of? She thought, getting pissed off herself.It wasn't until thirty minutes past seven that she made it to M&M making her thirty minutes late. She pondered over an excuse as she rushed up the stairs to Mr. Monett'

"If you are calling to tell me about my stuff at work I am sorry I wouldn't be able to come for them. Kindly bring them to me at the close of work today." She said gloomily into the phone immediately she picked up, causing Scarlet to giggle at her foolishness"What is it? what's funny?" She questioned confused as to why she giggled."I am not calling about that ma'am. I called to remind you that Mrs. Rodriguez's appointment with you is at 10:00 am.""Okay, but why are you telling me this? I have been fired! why are you acting like you don't know? Or did you call to ridicule me?""Wait, didn't Mr. Cohen call you?""No, he didn't why would he? That man hates me and now that he has fired me there will be no reason for him to call me.""No, he hasn't fired you. In fact, he is expecting you to be at work today.""What! how? w-wh- what happened. Why the change of heart?. I lost that deal and he told me that I shouldn't step my

Her husband stood behind her with the same cheerful countenance."Elise!" he called out, taking Elise in a bro hug. "Long time no see.""Chris my brother, you have made yourself a stranger." Chris said whiles in an embrace with him. Bentley silently chuckled, uninterested in what was going on."I am sorry friend, I know I have no excuse for not visiting you. ""Hannah, how have you been?" Chris asked, greeting her with a perk."Can I complain, My husband here takes really good care of me.""That is so good to hear. I wish mine cared that much." Amanda said jokingly earning a frown from Chris"Ouch, that hurt baby. I do care and take really good care of you.""Yeh yeh whatever.""So who do we have here? You must be

Mila's POVSunday went in a blur without any problems. Sooner than later, it was Monday and I had to face my fate. I was now left with the decision to go and try my luck or stay safe in my house. That way I wouldn't feel disgraced if he has indeed fired me"Well Mila, there is nothing to lose if you go and try."the good voice in my head said, trying to build up my confidence."You can lose my dignity."The bad voice said making me more indecisive. I checked the time and it read 5:30 am giving me less time to think much into things."Mila if you want to go it's now or never," I said to myself trying to figure out what it will be. My phone started vibrating since it was on silent. I picked it up realizing I have more text messages than missed calls."Scarlet what is it?" I questioned immediately I answered the phone."Hope you will be able to make it today? We rescheduled Mrs. Rodriguez's appointme

Third Person POV"Hello Sir, I am so happy our plan worked. I think they are getting along." She hid in one of the washroom cubicles, taking advantage of her madam being busy with a client. "Did you see the footage? the elevator door opened with madam in Mr. Cohen's arms." She uttered cheerfully."Yes dear we saw it. But I am afraid it is not what it looks like. They were literally at the point of cutting each other's head off.""Awww really, I was happy when I saw them in that position.""They looked great together right?""They did. But sir, those two really hate each other. You will need bigger and more effective plans to get rid of the hatred between them.""We know. We are not going to give up. Just keep us updated and thank you for your help.""Sure sir, you can always count on me." She said her usual anthem before ending the call."What are we going to do now Chris, It's obvi

Third Person POVThe sun rays made their way into the room, striking her eyes causing them to flutter open. She didn't know when she slept off yesterday but she had this headache like that of a hangover."What happened to me?"She questioned herself still trying to get back to sleep. Even though she just woke up, she felt tired and stressed and she wondered whether she was run over by a truck yesterday."Good morning Miss Blaine. How was your sleep?" Triss entered her room, carrying a large tray of food that was meant for her."I feel like I have been run over by a truck.""Aww sorry, ma'am. I hope this meal will make you feel better.""I hope so too. What did you bring?""I made you coffee. I don't know how you like your coffee so instead of putting in the sugar and milk, I brought them to you so you can make it how you prefer it. I also made you some fruit salad, a toast, and a sandwich. I don't know

"Where are you sending that food to?!"He asked Triss who was just about opening Mila's door. He made sure he shouted so she could hear him."S-sorry Sir, this food is for Ms. Blaine."Listen carefully, for as long as she remains here, you are not to give her food. She said she doesn't want my food. It's her words not mine so make sure you obey it. Now take that food back to the kitchen. You can give it Gabriel if he hasn't eaten."But sir Ms. Lennon said Ms. Blaine is hungry.""Are you going to listen to me or Ms. Lennon? Who do you work for?""You sire."

"What-what happened to me?"I felt lost as the white painting of the wall wasn't my usual emerald green interior. I knew by that that I was not in my room so where was I then? I tried recollecting but my head only hurt."Where am I?""You passed out ma'am". Scarlet who looked relieved that I'm awake said getting up from where she was sitting at the entrance of the room."Where am I?" I asked again because this place doesn't seem like a hospital room to me. Yes it was painted white but its interior designs and the art painted on the wall seems too nice to be in a hospital."You are at Mr. Cohen's house. The doctors discharged you but you were sedated to rest for a while because

Mila's POV"This is brilliant Ms. Blaine. I love your plan." Mr. Monnet confessed amidst smiles as I ended my presentation. There were loud applauds from his board of directors showing how impressed they were with the project plans I presented. Yes, the same people that looked down on me and said all sought of hurtful things about me the last time I was here are the same people celebrating me. I don't blame them though I personally would have been upset if someone presented dirty coffee-stained papers to me."Thank you Mr. Monnet.""You are welcome. I am so glad that I gave you another chance and may I say you never disappointed me. I would like to therefore apologize for my behavior the last time you were here.""Oh Sir, it's nothing. I am just grateful you believed in me enough to give me a second chance.""No dear, I should have allowed you to explain yourself but I spoke wi
