/Brian’s POV/
I get down to business by unboxing the phone myself even though that was something she was supposed to with great satisfaction and I connect it to my power back so that the phone won’t go off in the configuration process since it is very unlikely that they will fully charge the phone after production.I put her sim into the phone, turn it on and logged in her iCloud before going to the apple store to commence the downloading of a few apps that I saw in the homepage with the indication of a cloud because it means that there are records of those apps on her device before.Her phone did not really come with A lot of application, so it was left to me to start downloading those apps individually because it is impossible to send applications from one iPhone to the other.“Shall we?” She inquires.“Sure” I answer as I pick up the phone and power bank on the table to continue what I was doing on the way“There is no ne/Meelah’s POV/I storm of of the VIP lounge angrily because I have been through way too much today for me to have to deal with that type of toxic individual, most importantly why does that woman always show up everything I am down she further kick me till I have no strength to stand?The culprit is Eloise, but I ended up lacking out at Brian who went through great lengths to cheer me up, and one of the things that I can’t tolerate is being ungrateful towards someone that put in a whole lot of effort into helping me and that is what I just did because Brian didn’t deserve any of what was dished in his direction at all. Right now, my bone of contention is not even How poorly I treated Brian because I am sure that I can always apologize to him later, but the issue is that that woman was recording and I lashed out like that.“What if they start to troll me online again” I start to panic as I make my way into the elevator because I literally just got
/Brian’s POV/ “So you are just going to stand there and do nothing” Eloise questions after Meelah storms out if the room. “What am I supposed to do?” I throw the question at her to hear her opinion before telling her what I have to say. “Your wife just called me a dog but that doesn’t seem to affect you in any way” she says in a voice that sounds like she wants to cry “I don’t understand…..”“How does that affect me?” I ask her because it’s a ladies fight and I didn’t get myself involved so why is she involving me?“Seriously?” She scoffs “When she said keep your dog on leash, she wasn’t talking to you……as a matter of fact she was talking to me and you don’t know if we had a prior conversation concerning this or not you just jumped into conclusion so I guess the show fits” I remark sprinkling salt on her wound and she clenched her fist “If the show fits, don’t just wear it……you can also drops with it” I ad
/Brian’s POV/I finish up with Samantha and I cross check my phone to see if Edens call came in, and I don’t notice because if the important conversation that I was having with Samantha,but there is still no single call from her so I log into my WhatsApp to check if she left me a message but there is nothing like that from het. I pace around the hallway of Samantha’s office, wondering if I should still keep waiting for Eden to call or I should just call her myself since she is still yet to get back to me, and without her getting back to me I can’t really figure out how to deal with Meelah. Meelah is very pissed and if for anything, I feel I deserve to know what has been triggering her since she woke up today, most importantly I also need to find out if Eloise did something that I am not aware of because it is Eloise that we are talking about abs she always does something. “Let’s just call Eden Weston” I decide as I immediately start to dial her
/Meelah’s POV/“I made it quite far” I remark proudly after peeping down from the side of the staircase railing to see the way the stairs that I have journeyed through from the fourth floor to the current floor that I am, are overlapping each other like beautiful puzzle pieces. “Should I just chill here for a while by seating on the staircase slab and staring into space while waiting for my bestie to call me after checking into her total for the next twenty to twenty five minutes that is left of my lunch break or should I go through the elevator and navigate my way to the nearest snack room so that I won’t die of starvation” I question myself as I seat down on one of the stairs and I carefully weigh my options. “The people that know what happened in that VIP lounge are the waiters present at the scene, Eloise, Brian and I do if I should end up in a snack room after walking glamorously into the vip lounge with Brian, speculations will start flying around
/Meelah’s POV/I thought the whole silent treatment was going to end after we got home yesterday, after I talk to him and properly apologize if he was expecting an apology from me because I was obviously at fault and because of me, he is probably going to be having a whole lot of social media mess to clean, but I didn’t even get the opportunity to apologize. Brain didn’t even stop by the room to change his clothes or freshen up, he went straight into the study on the ground floor, so I thought he probably had work to do and I should give him time to figure his shit out. While he was in the study room he send me an email that there is a package for me inside kings treats take out bag Inside the car that I should pick it up to see if I was interested and that made me so happy that at least he was ready to make peace with me. I went to the car and brought out the package that turned out to be the spicy turkey that I was having before his obnoxious
/Meelah’s POV/I watch Brian kings drag me all the way from the snack room through the hall way and unlike when I was walking alone that I had a few heads turn in my direction, a lot of heads didn’t just turn in our fire Orion but they stopped to gossip and find out what was up which is quite normal because Brian kings looks very pissed. Normally, I would have struggled and probably told him to let go off me but I just keep quite knowing that sooner or later, the whole facade of him standing of him was going to dissolve like a smoke without trace when we get to my office so I just relax for us to to get there, but instead of branching to the left of the hall way that leads to mine and his office, he continues to go straight. “Heyy…..where are we going?” I proceed to question him. “When we get there you will know”he says as we approach the elevator. I keep quiet instead of arguing with him , while waiting for us to enter the executive
/Meelah’s POV/“Shall we?” I question him and he nods. “Ladies first” he says ordering me into the huge shop. “Wow!” I try to keep my excitement in check because I have only seen the store online, I have not actually walked into Abu of their sites before. Surprisingly, a few of my outfits are from their street wear collections, but I can’t just pack my money that I worked my ass of to get over a single so called limited edition clothe only because I want to feel among? Hell noooo……I don’t break the bank to feel among The only way I have outfits from teleios apparels streetwear collection is because my bestie loves their street-wears so much and whenever she us buying, she buys in pairs bit apart from that, I don’t go out of my way just because I want to wear the latest clothes but I still slay on a daily basis and I look nice because thrifting is one of my superpowers. “Heyyy…” Brian says snapping his fingers in front of me to get my attention. “Why are you not picking anything
/Brian’s POV/After I left for the terrace on the last floor, I didn’t have a lot to do, I just stared into space for a while, then when I needed something to do, I had to tell my PA to help Meelah move office because I didn’t know how Meelah was going to feel about the whole office movement especially when I didn’t discuss with her first, so I didn’t want to run into her.Exactly twenty minutes later, I took the elevator to my office where Amelia had taken Meelah’s place and without wasting much time I turned on work focus on my iPhone so that I wouldn’t be disturbed by any notification before I got down to business. A few minutes into my work, I remembered the spicy chicken that I brought back with me, so I instructed Amelia to put it inside the freezer before I continued with the work that I couldn’t do because of how tense the office environment was that I didn’t realize that time had gone, till Meelah came over to drop off a document for me to sign. When she brought the document
|Meelah’s POV|I start rounding up the exercise of decluttering my space because this is the first time I am getting back home at the normal closing hour instead of working overtime like I have been doing with Brian, only for my phone to start ringing, so I pause what I am doing to pick up the call.“Hey babes… how are you doing?” Eden says as soon as I pick up the video calls and before I can reply to her, the other girls join the call.“Melanie Caleb… you skipped two girl’s nights without any call nor explanation to justify your actions,” Aurora accuses as soon as she joins the call.“Hmmm,” I sigh deeply.“The past two weeks have been crazy in Kings Corporation, with me trying to stay out of my husband’s ex-girlfriend who tries to sabotage me at any opportunity that she gets, the latest project of Kings Corporation that has been making both Brian and I work overtime because he needs to prove to his father that he can handle the company while I have had to prove to people that I did
|Meelah’s POV|Sunday went by in a blur with my girls showing up at mine and Brian’s house because they were worried sick about me switching off my phone after the incident that happened at the movie premier not only did they just help uplift my mood, but they also mentally prepared me to face the cold world (Kings Corp).It's Monday morning and instead of excitedly walking towards the tall and imposing structure that is standing out against the sky, reaching for the clouds in front of me with the windows arranged in a grid-like pattern in front of me, I am quite nervous but also eager to start work after being away for a while.I park my latest baby (the Tesla that was gifted to me by my father-in-law), then I take out a few of my necessities while clutching my ID badge, my bag, and other necessities, and then head towards the reception desk.I greet the security guard with a friendly smile and I swipe my badge at the entrance turnstile, hearing the satisfying beep that confirms my a
|BRIAN’s POV|“Can you stop being difficult and just tell me who the photographer nigga at the movie premier is?” I urge Meelah because her nonchalant attitude is seriously starting to piss me off.“No one important,” she answers, waving the issue like it is nothing important as she focuses on her breakfast.“Photographer nigga is no one important, but you and your sister were fighting over him?” I remark to get a reaction from Meelah, and judging from the way she pauses dramatically from reaching for the baked beans that are a part of the breakfast platter, I know that I must have struck a nerve.“Fighting over him?” she scoffs.“Are you for real right now?” she questions, looking at me dead in the eyes.“How was I minding my business and getting my pictures taken, only for me to get drenched by the torn in my flesh the same things as me fighting over a man?” she expresses painfully and that makes me realize that I must have gone too far.“Fine…. I apologize for my insensitive choice
|Meelah’s POV|I should have known that running into RK the previous night was not going to end well or should I say that I should not have unblocked that villain and tried to give him the benefit of doubt by thinking he must have had a valid reason for decamping to the enemies camp, but it was obvious from all indication that RK chose Jayden Conor and Skylar over me because of the money that they offered him, but the question that has been on my mind since yesterday was why RK Is still trying so hard to be in my good graces after everything that happened.To say that I was livid when Skylar tried to mess up my life once again by using RK was an understatement, and even though I had so many unanswered questions for Ryan, I was way too blinded by rage to hear him out, and now that everything ended up blowing out of proportion, I kinda wished that I was patient enough to hear him out so that I can at least get closure and move on with my life.I ended up avoiding Brain after we got home
|Brian’s POV|After trying to get Meelah familiar with the movie she didn’t look interested in the slightest, probably because this type of movie is not her kind of thing, she stepped out of the cinema to get some fresh air, but she went for a long time.Even though I want to keep enjoying my movie, I have no choice but to step out to check up on Meelah simply because I brought her here and I have to make sure that she has a wonderful experience, or else the aim of bringing her here will be defeated.I stand in front of the event hall, scanning around to see if my eyes can capture Meelah from afar to assure myself that she is fine so that I can return to the movie theater but I see her with a man who is busy taking pictures of her and from the looks of it, I don’t think this is the first time they are meeting because of how he is putting his hands on her to direct each pose he wanted her to strike when he could have just described it tor her or strike the pose instead of touching her
MEELAH’S POV|I wasn’t expecting that sly human being to take advantage of the situation by offering to help me if only I agreed to hear him out but I had to agree because I couldn’t let my girl’s efforts be in vain, and instead of sending the driver to get me a random ring, but Brian stepped down from the car himself to get me a ring which made me wonder what he is playing at.Anyway, Brian got me a pretty simple and elegant ring that doesn’t look as complicated as the previous ring and I love it because I think this ring sits my personality more, more so you will barely know that it is a counterfeit ring, so a win is a win for me.We are now at the event venue, and here is Brian stepping out of the car while I am waiting for him to open the door for me because even though I agreed to hear him out, he still has to make up for how miserable and rejected I felt during the week so that I can feel his sincerity.Big Daddy Brian has finally put the gentlemanly teachings he got from his wo
|Brian’s POV|After racking my brain, thinking of the best way to ask Meelah out to the movie premier, I decided to abandon the responsibility to the butler because I knew for a fact that I was the one whom Meelah had issues with, and she was not the kind of person that will take her anger out on an innocent butler by intentionally making his task difficult for him, and it worked because just when I was driving into kings estate yesterday, I saw Meelah’s driving out.I actually thought of driving out of the estate to block her wherever she was going to have a conversation with her, but for someone who made a conscious effort not to run into me even while we were living under the same roof, I knew better than to try, and thank goodness I decided against it because on getting home, I was informed by the butler that his part of the task was completed.I went about my after-work schedule normally, and while I finally settled down to eat dinner, I got a message from Elva that she had been
Everyone in this house except for me stayed up all night trying to help with the outfit and everything because my fashion enthusiast friend decided to make an outfit for me from scratch after she found out about the movie premier at the dying minute and she had got her team of designers here as early as 5 am to help with the process of making me an outfit despite my protest that it wasn’t necessary.Brian's sister also showed up with her team of makeup artists, hairstylists, and nail technicians, just to get me dolled up for the event, and I have been sitting here since I took my bath while they dress me up like a doll.“Your bestie wants to talk to you,” Aurora says, handing me her phone hours later after I sat to get my hair, nails, and makeup done without being allowed to check the mirror. “Are you not scared that I will see myself through the camera of the phone?” I question Aurora and that makes Elva block the camera from my view.“I still stand on the existing protocol that I w
\Meelah’s POV\After being made to feel stupid by Brian and like a total failure by my mother-in-law on Wednesday, I needed a way to vent, and the last thing I would have wanted in this life was to put a call through to my girls because I just like me, they had stuff going on in their lives, and it won’t make any sense for me to put everyone in a bad mood just because things were going sideways for me, so I went to mine and Brian’s bedroom to sleep but the more I laid on the bed, everything I could think about was how Brian kickstarted my day by overreacting to the perfume that was supposed to boost my confidence, so I ended up smashing the perfume bottle into the wall hoping it will make feel better but it barely did anything for me.I tried to snap out of the negative emotions that I was feeling so that I could be prepared for the next day’s work, but nothing seemed to be working so I resorted to something that I wouldn’t normally resort to just to escape my problems even if it was t
