/Meelah’s POV/“Your phone has been vibrating for the past fifteen minutes now and you have not made conscious effort to check who it is” Brain calls my attention to the phone that has been sturrbornly vibrating on one side of the desk. “I am sorry for the disturbance, I wasn’t expecting the vibration to be loud enough for you to hear” I apologize as I quickly skim through the pile of document on the table to navigate the phone. “I actually flipped the Ring/silent switch so that I won’t disturb you, but I don’t understand why the phone is still not totally silenced” I explain so that he won’t think I intentionally did what I did, since we have been doing a lot of clarifying for each other for the past few days so that we can coexist peacefully. “Flipping the Rjng/silent switch won’t send the phone to total silence, you need to put the phone on DND” he calls my attention to it “Doesn’t the Ring/silent switch and DND do the same thing?” I question him because sometimes I use DND, s
/Meelah’s POV/“It’s better for me to face my destiny instead of sulking over here”I console myself after a few minutes of sulking as I pull myself together to start working. I scan the documents on my table and I realize that I still have a very long way to go, and there is just no way I can crash everything in the next five hours. “Let’s tidy up this baby so that I can pick up the pressing task to tackle within the next few hours, then I will sort the rest out over the weekend” I decide as I get down to arranging my abomination of table. I sort out the files on my table very fast by bookmarking it from the most important and the least important because I am don’t thinking I am a super woman that can crash everything at once, so let’s see how going bay a steady pace work for me. I put on my desktop and open up Microsoft excel where the new schedule that I started working on for Brian since I officially resumed work is, and I start to look through the materials one by one so that
/Brian’s POV/“Before we bring this meeting to a close, I will like Amelia and Tiffany to jointly report to Mrs Kings office after this meeting to greatly reduce her work load and offer help in every way they can because Mrs Kings has something important to do by 5 pm, so I want every file on her table to be treated and arranged accordingly” I instruct only for them to start to murmur and I raise my brow at them. “There is really no need to murmur…..if you have anything to say, just say it boldly in front of me” I urge them only for they start sharing glances as the murmur quiets down. “Most of the departments in Kings Corporation is quite busy because of the transition and I get it that everybody is trying hard to adjust but half of the work force under me is unnecessarily idle, and the person bearing the burnt of your laziness is Mrs kings which bus not supposed to be” I decide to tackle the issue of their newly developed laziness. “Mrs Kings is not just the special assistant to
/Meelah’s POV/“Is it just me or Brian kings has been strangely considerate today?”At this point,it is Not just Brian kings, but everyone that used to work under him because they are being strangely respectful today, and those are the same set of people that have been taking the lead to revolt against every single order that I give in the office, but this afternoon two people came to help ease my work load according to the chairman’s orders. Initially,I thought it was another of Amelia’s ploy to get back at me, so I ran out of the office on the pretext of needing to use the bathroom, and then when I got to the bathroom I messaged Brian to ask why his assistant was insisting to help me when she was supposed to be assisting him with his meeting, then he explained to me that he has work for me after 5pm and he needs my schedule to be cleared. After I got the message from Brain, I left the bathroom for the office to rush my work because I wanted to finish up before five so that I could
\Meelah’s POV/“Ari! Ember! Dianne!” Aurora shouts as she approaches the mansion, making me shake my head because I didn’t know that she was serious.“What is the deal between you and Aurora?” I turn back to question him.“You don’t have to know that” he answers smugly, making me eye him suspiciously.“I don’t trust you guys” I make it known to him and he just smiles confirming the fact that everything is suspicious about him and Aurora's sudden alliance.“You don’t have to trust us, just help me to bring out the things in the car so that I can leave you guys to enjoy yourselves” Brian says as he opens the door of the car and starts to bring out the gift bags.“Hmmmmmm…...” I mentally prepare myself to question him.“Did Aurora mention that the girl’s night is a sleep over thing?” I question him so that he can be carried along in my program.“It is very obvious from the name” he chuckles.“If you need me to pick you up tomorrow, you need to, give me heads up in advance……...like an hou
/Meelah’s POV/“So are you ready to tell me why exactly you are avoiding me” she inquires again and I start to rack my brain for what to say?“Your drink is ready,” Nelson says passing me a glass of juice.“thank you” I acknowledge, grateful that I have finally gotten the interruption that I needed, and I will be able to escape having any serious conversation with Eden.“I need to ask my boss a few questions, so I will leave you guys to it,” Nelson says as he excuses himself from the kitchen and makes me sigh in disappointment.“Since you are not ready to talk to me, I am ready to have that conversation now instead of continuously postponing it so I will ask questions, and you have no choice but to answer because I can feel our friendship dissipating into thin air because of the events that happened over the past one week and I can’t keep letting that happen” Eden infers and my jaw drops in shock.“Melanie Caleb or Melanie Brian-Kings” she starts making me gulf nervously and shift unc
/Brian’s POV/After bribing my best friend on Friday afternoon, our relationship went back to what it used to be and we got talking about a lot of things, then he gave me his candid advice about putting efforts into trying to get into Aurora’s good books because things will get very bad when they start thinking that I am trying to take meelah for granted because she is only a substitute. Me being the generous person that I am, I called the Michelin stared chef in my house to make delicacies for the Emeralds since I and the Weston sisters used to be really good friends that grew to together because of how close our parents are, and we only drifted apart when my feelings started to conflict my friendship for Ember. Asking my chef to make delicacies also felt right because going over to someone’s house empty handed doesn’t speak well of me, but Elliot was not satisfied with just the food option and he kept on complaining that he feels that it is not enough so we had to come up with a p
/Meelah’s POV/The girl's night commenced with my girls and I downing cocktails, the snacks that was sponsored by Brian and a whole lot of gossip that I and Eden have missed out from.At that point, I realized and there was nowhere I will rather be at that moment because my girls are just like my second family.Ember and Dianne took turns in telling us about how Embers first day at work went, and what made it twice as interesting was because Dianne escorted Ember escorted her office on her first day at work after two weeks of un avoidable silence due to the whole pregnancy saga and her being grounded by her father.Dianne told us that she followed Ember to the office because her gut feeling kept on telling her that the second in command of her company, Rhea who happens to be both brian and Adrians friends were going to kick up trouble for Ember and that was exactly what happened. Just like Brians secretary made it look like I was trying to be bossy because I am now married to the b
