/Meelah’s POV/

“Hmmm hmmm” I clear my throat on getting to the front of the elevator.

“I don’t think I will be able to get on the elevator with you guys because I need to get to the toilet” I speak up in an attempt to excuse myself from the entourage because the attention that I am getting from it is too much, and I am not enjoying it at all.

“Fine..” he answers almost immediately, signaling a few bodyguard to step aside and they split without wasting time.

“Are they going to be accompanying me to the bathroom?” I question him yo be sure that I am not the one overthinking and he nods

“Yh” he answers briefly before taking his attention back to the phone that he is pressing.

The thought of obediently agreeing to his option, then making sure to escape from their company so that Brian won’t think that I am challenging his authority crosses my mind for a split second, and I actually pause to consider it.

Don’t get me mad” I start with a stern warning. “Go straight to the point as to why you suddenly showed up in Kings Corporation with so many people” I ask her again. “Ohhh….that” she pretends to recall by scratching the nape of her neck with her coffin nails. “Nothing much, I just came bearing the invitation to the reality TV show”she answers like she is innocent and I am just trying to frame her. “My friend come off it!” I raise my voice at her. “I dated you for two years, so don’t you think I can tell when you are lying?” I try to keep myself from loosing my cool. “Ohhh wow!” She exclaim. “If you still remember that we dated for two years, how come you and Jayden Connors bastard were together for Almost seven years, because and if I ca

    /Brian’s POV/After angrily leaving Eloise, I made my way to my office because I wanted to be alone, but they were not done with the process of moving offices so I had to leave and change my location to the conference room because that is a place that I was very sure that I wasn’t going to bump into anyone since half of the workforce of kings corporation are busy dealing with the scandal, and the other half are busy enlarging their gossiping coast. All in all, I just hope what ever drama Eloise is cooking ends before it even starts because I hate how Kings Corporation has gone from the serious environment that it used to be to an avenue for gossip related affairs. More than anything, I hate the fact that my personal life is clashing with my professional life because more than anything I hate mixing those two things but over the past one month, I have failed miserably at doing that, and now that I am married as per what my father wants, I just hope that everybody can stop focusing on

I was hoping that Meelah was going to come back soon and I didn’t want to call her because I didn’t want it to start looking like she is so indispensable so I had to made do with what i had by going through my fathers itenerary for the day.

    /Meelah’s POV/After getting out of the elevator, I made my way to the cafeteria as per Samantha’s instructions only for me to realize that they want me to be on ground in advance so that I can join them in welcoming big boss Brian. I was low key pissed that I was taken out of my newly comfort zone just to to be a party to what they wanted to do, but I didn’t dare show it in my expression or my countenance because if there is one thing that the events that have been happening from Saturday’s has thought me, it is the fact that people can take the liberty of generating over a thousand story that is not true based on their perception of what your mood looks like. I have been through a lot already, and I didn’t want to start dragging a non issue just because I was not interested in tote welcome party so I plastered a smile on my face and pretended to be interested as we made preparations to welcome Brian kings.

It is so frustrating that I have to be overly cautious over minimal things like this, but it is what it is. “Are you sure that she is aware of your likes and dislikes,” Eloise cuts in, making me resist the urge to tell her to get her nose out of my business because it is just so annoying that she is hovering around
