Merrick's smile turned devilish as he gazed at Nora. "So, Nora, what do you say? Will you take the offer?"Nora's heart leaped with excitement, and she nodded eagerly, her mind buzzing with the possibilities this new role would bring. "Yes, Sir. I'll take it!"As Nora was lost in her thoughts, Merrick's voice interrupted her reverie. "Great! Your first task as my executive assistant starts now. Head down the hall to the store room. Everything you need for the job is there. I need you to organize and upload all the files from the past 10 years into our system. You should be able to do at least three years' worth of files in a day."Nora's eyes widened with shock, but she quickly composed herself and nodded, determined to prove herself in this new role.Merrick's mind raced with thoughts of his own amusement as he watched Nora stand up in his office. "That's your first punishment for not recognizing me," he chuckled to himself, his devilish smile widening.As Nora was about to move forw
After several minutes of sending the email, Merrick furrowed his brow as he checked his inbox and realized that Nora had not yet replied. He could feel his frustration growing."How dare she get my email and not reply?" he muttered under his breath, feeling his blood pressure rise.Merrick leaned back in his chair and tried to calm himself down, but his mind kept drifting back to the unanswered email. He couldn't understand why Nora, his Executive Assistant, would ignore his message on her first day at that.Merrick's frustration with Nora boiled over as he picked up the phone and searched for her resume file. He quickly found her number and saved it on his phone before dialing it with a growing sense of irritation.The phone rang once, twice, thrice, but Nora didn't answer. Merrick could feel his anger rising with each unanswered call."What the fucking hell?" he muttered under his breath, slamming his hand against the desk in frustration.He knew he needed to talk to Nora, to find o
"Okay, I see what you're saying," Merrick said, interrupting her explanation. "That actually makes a lot of sense. You really thought this through."Nora smiled, relieved that Merrick approved of her work. "Thank you," she said, feeling a sense of pride in her accomplishments. "I just wanted to make sure everything was as organized as possible."Merrick nodded in agreement. "And you did a great job," he said. "Now let's get these schedules distributed and make sure everything runs smoothly.""Okay, I'll get right on it," Nora said, feeling a sense of satisfaction at Merrick's praise. "I'll send the next set of schedules to all the directors' new secretaries as soon as I get back to the storeroom."Merrick nodded in agreement, impressed by Nora's efficiency. "Sounds like a plan," he said. "Let's make sure we stay on top of things and keep everything running smoothly."Nora smiled, feeling grateful for the opportunity to prove herself. He looked up at Nora and smiled. "Good job, Nora. T
It was already 7 PM and Nora, the mother of Axel and Mia, still hadn't come home from her first day at work. Alice, Nora's best friend, had brought the kids home after school and they had just finished lunch. Axel and Mia were now sitting in the living room, watching TV and cracking jokes.Axel turned to Mia and said, "Hey, do you think Mom's still at work or did she get lost on the way home?"Mia giggled and replied, "Maybe she's stuck in traffic, or maybe she's having so much fun at work that she forgot to come home!"Alice, who was sitting nearby, chimed in, "Or maybe she's being taken out for a fancy dinner with her new coworkers!"Axel and Mia burst out laughing at the thought of their mom being wined and dined by her colleagues.Axel and Mia couldn't stop laughing at the idea of their mom Nora being wined and dined by her coworkers. Suddenly, Mia remembered something and turned to Axel with a mischievous grin on her face. "Hey, remember when Mom told us she doesn't drink?" she a
As Mrs. Evelyn stepped into the living room, her son Merrick looked up from his phone at the sound of clicking high heels. He was awestruck by the sight of his mother, who looked simply stunning in her gorgeous dress. Her dress was a flowing, floor-length gown made of soft, shimmering fabric that clung to her curves in all the right places. The dress had a plunging neckline that revealed just a hint of cleavage, adding to its elegance and sophistication. Her shoes were equally stunning, with slender heels that made her legs look long and graceful. Mrs. Evelyn's hair was styled in loose waves that cascaded down her back, framing her face perfectly. She had applied just the right amount of makeup, giving her a natural and radiant glow. As she walked towards Merrick, her dress swayed gently with each step, exuding an air of confidence and grace.Merrick couldn't help but stare at his mother in awe, feeling proud to have such a beautiful and stylish mom.Merrick looked up at his mother
Axel, feeling helpless and worried, asked Alice, "Do you really think the police will be able to help us?"Alice nodded, "Yes, I do. They will be able to track your mom's whereabouts and find out what happened to her. We'll go to the police station first thing in the morning."Mia looked up at Alice hopefully, "Do you think they will find her soon?"Alice reassured her, "I'm sure they will, Mia. They're experts in this kind of situation."Axel asked, "What if she's in danger or hurt?"Alice put her hand on his shoulder, "Let's not think the worst, Axel. We don't know what happened yet. But the police will do everything they can to find her and make sure she's safe."Axel nodded, feeling a little more reassured. "What if she's at her workplace?" he asked.Alice considered this, "That's a good point, Axel. We could go to her workplace and ask questions, see if anyone knows where she is, it will be a good start asking her boss!."Mia looked up at Alice gratefully, "Thank you, Aunt Alice.
In the dim light of dawn, Axel's eyes fluttered open, his slumber disrupted by a nagging worry. His mind raced with concern for his mother, who had failed to return home the previous day. A knot of unease tightened in his chest, urging him to action.Throwing off the covers, Axel swung his legs over the edge of the bed, his bare feet meeting the cold floor. Each step felt heavy with anticipation as he made his way towards Aunt Alice's room, where he knew his twin sister Mia would still be fast asleep, blissfully forgetting their mother's absence due to her ever forgetfulness while Asleep and the first few minutes she wakes up.The door creaked softly as Axel pushed it open, revealing the shadows that clung to the room. Moonlight spilled through the partially drawn curtains, casting a soft glow upon Aunt Alice's bed. Hesitant, Axel approached, his heart pounding in his ears.There, nestled beneath the blanket, lay Aunt Alice and Mia, their peaceful faces illuminated by the gentle light
"Do you think the police will believe us If we tell them what happened? Because I once watched a news story back in France that happened in Amzone city here and the police didn't believe the victim's family" she asked, her voice tinged with doubt.Alice reached over and squeezed Mia's hand reassuringly. "I hope they will, sweetheart," she replied softly. "We'll explain everything to them, and I'm sure they'll do their best to help us find your Mom."Axel, standing close to them with a determined expression, chimed in, "And once we've reported it, the police can start investigating right away. They have resources and expertise that can be really useful."Alice's mind still heavy with worry. glanced at the clock on her bedside table and realized it was time to start the day. Turning to Axel and Mia, who were already fully awake, she mustered a smile. "Alright, kids, let's get up and start getting ready," she said softly. "Go to your rooms, get dressed, and brush your teeth."Axel and Mia
