2020-09-22 07:29:24Her head still not in place, Starr resumed work. She put her brave face on and walked into the damn company like she owned it, and if Christopher Chariton came, she was ready to handle him like she was the owner of the damn company.
She had a knee length wine bodycon gown, alongside a black heels. She had no jewellery on, apart from a simple gold bracelet. She kept her makeup simple, lip gloss, eyeliner and mascara.
The meeting was scheduled for nine o'clock in the morning, so she arrived some minutes before nine. She had a full on pep talk with herself in the mirror, before she came to work. She had to ready herself for whatever was coming.
Due to her absence from work for a couple of days, some staff had relaxed, misbehaving. "Tell Magnus to fire the lady who was eating at her desk and slouching. And also the guy who thought the office place is a bar and for picking up women," she told Amber as she walked into th

Days had passed and it was almost the weekend. Starr was feeling unusually fatigued and simply wanted to rest. She had woken early to go to work, but ended up not being able to. So, she decided to rest at home and call in sick."Go to the hospital," Magnus commanded Starr from the other end of the line, causing her to sigh."You are supposed to be running a company for me, not bugging me about going to the hospital," Starr complained through the phone, sighing again.Magnus groaned. "Can you not be a hard arse for some seconds, and go to the damn hospital?""Run the damn company." With that, she ended the line, smiling.It didn't take up to two seconds before her phone began to ring again, causing her to groan loudly and answer the phone, without checking the called ID. "Magnus, I promise you that I am going to goddamn -"S

"It's a lie," Magnus excitedly said to her, flapping his arm close to his face, fanning himself. "He did legit ask you out?" he asked again, causing her to nod. "Oh my gawd! My ship is fucking sailing, Bitches!"He was so excited, Starr could feel it. She didn't know why he was so excited, but it kind of brought a smile to her face. She liked how he was so happy about something so not-so-big, that he felt should make her happy too. She couldn't help smiling.Magnus soon calmed down, taking his seat on one of her single chairs. "I bet he would have begged his life span short to get you to accept to it."Starr felt her cheeks grow warm as she frowned, feigning offense. "What do you mean?" she asked.Magnus laughed, bending his head back a bit. "Oh, I know you Starr. You are hardheaded," he mocked her, ignoring the little pity he felt for her on remembrance of why she was.Starr

"So, what's up?" Starr asked Magnus when they both got to the sitting room and were settled.Maguns sighed, letting his shoulders fall as he replied, “I haven’t mustered up the courage to do so yet.”

The ride was quiet. Starr was trying her hardest not to 'think too much'. She sat quietly, her head resting on her elbow, her gaze fixed to the road. She was awfully quiet, Chris felt it was better to stay quiet also. He didn't want to ruin anything at all. He felt they had a great night ahead of them, and Starr's mood was very unpredictable, so he didn't want to ruin it with the slightest thing.

MATURE WARNING!The date went fine, or so did Chris think. But, Starr had retreated and recoiled by the time they were on their way back home. She was back to how she was when they were on their way to the restaurant, as quiet as a mouse. Not wanting to ruin things, Chris also kept shut, driving in absolute silence.It wasn't long before he was pulling at her place, parking. He had gotten out, so as to quickly move around and help her out. But, Starr didn't give him the chance, again. "I wanted -" Chris had started, but was immediately cut off by Starr's words."Nah, it's aight," she said, keeping it short.She began to walk slowly to her door, letting Chris catch up with her, after he had locked his car door. They still hadn't really said anything. Chris wasn't so sure if he had messed up or not. He hadn't said anything, so it was most definite that he hadn't done anything wrong. But, he sti

Starr was fine. She could swear. As long as she could keep herself busy and not give herself a chance to think about what had happened, she was totally fine. After all, she hadn’t started falling for him yet, right?She woke up the next day, immediately got dressed and off to work. She knew she had a busy day at work, and would have no time for thoughts or unnecessary things. She didn’t have any meeting that day, but she had quite a ton of paperwork to attend to. She made Amber know she didn’t want to be disturbed, except it was regarding business – strictly business.Magnus hadn’t come to see her at all, so it gave her more work time. She covered a lot, and was almost done, when Magnus finally landed. For lots of reasons, she felt glad by his presence. “Been busy?” she asked him, with a smile as she wiggled her pen between her fingers.Magnus smiled, nodding. “Working on Chris’ project,” he said, takin

Placing Starr’s hand bag between them both, Starr crossing her left leg over her right the moment she and Christopher sat down. The interviewer was a black woman that was probably in her late twenties, slim and with a smile so bright it was the lighting to the room. She was dressed in a simple cream suit and brown inner, Starr though her outfit really suited her, but didn’t bother complimenting her. The interview was what was going to determine how she was going to treat her.“Good afternoon,” the interviewer had greeted them, causing Starr to nod while Christopher had replied with a smile and a low ‘afternoon’.The director made his call, the camera rolling and then the interview began. “Hello and welcome, I am your host for today Amber Brown,” Amber had said with a smile as she turned to Starr and Christopher, adding, “And today we have with us Miss Hart and Mr. Chariton.” Amber spoke with a certain type of

It was as if people had been waiting for a public evidence. Various interviews had began to pop here and there, for both Starr and Christopher. Starr knew she could trust Christopher, but her jealousy wasn’t going to let her watch him talk to Female interviewers who looked like they wanted him the entire time.

She definitely wasn’t going to accept an interview that wanted her alone, she didn’t want anyone digging into her priva

It had been in the afternoon, before they were both set and ready to go get her car. They had spent the day either talking while cuddled up, or watching some show together – Christopher trying to introduce some shows to Starr, and her still not being fully interested, or them simply enjoying each others company in silence.“Are you set? Do you know what you want already?” Christopher asked Starr as they were both set to leave.Starr nodded without a reply as she opened the door for them both to walk out. Christopher nodded also as they walked out, and straight to where Christopher car was packed.The ride had started quite, until Corinne Bailey Ray’s ‘Like A Star’ began to play. It was like Starr was pulled back to her childhood. Memories of her dad on Saturday mornings, flooded back. Memories of him singing along, dancing with them as he held unto wither her of Sorcha’s hand while he swirled them, their laughter echoing

Christopher had been in the sitting room, watching a television show, when Starr had woken up early. He had been pushing the breakfast he had planned to make for her, to the time he thought she was going to have woken up. But, she had surprised them both and had woken up quite early, around six to seven in the morning. Christopher had been laughing to something a character had said in the show, when Starr walked in. She didn’t say a thing as she walked in, trying to see what he was watching and maybe get why he was laughing. With no intention to startle him, she sat down quietly on one of her chairs, staring at the television. Christopher nearly jumped out of his skin when he had first seen her. He wasn’t expecting her to be there at that point in time, so seeing her there made his not recognize her quickly and causing him to fear. “Geez, why didn’t you make any noise when you were coming or when you arrive?” he had asked her, staring at her.Sta

Starr had made up her mind that from what she had seen, she was soon about to start getting on interviews with Christopher. Maybe her presence there was going to get those women to stay off him. She didn’t like them interview, but maybe things were going to turn around. “Had a stressful day?” Starr had asked Christopher when he walked into her office.Christopher sighed, dropping on the chair opposite her, at the other end of her table. He didn’t reply as he sat slant, his eyes closed his head facing her celling. “Hectic,” he soon replied, keeping his eyes closed.Starr chuckled. “Sorry about that,” she replied, rounding off what she was doing. “What do you need right now? Sleep? Massage?”Christopher chuckled in reply, before saying, “Can you give the massage?”Starr chuckled, not looking at him as she replied, “Because I haven’t shown you my skills, which is why you mock

Magnus had pulled a chair to sit close to Starr, so he could also watch the interview with her. She had a slight frown on her face as she listened to the interviewer ask, “So, it is rumored that there is a spark between yourself and Miss Hart? Could that be through?” Starr trusted Christopher and knew that he wasn’t looking at the interviewer in anyway other than that of business, even if he had a wide smile on, the person she didn’t feel pleased by was the interviewer.Christopher nodded affirmatively, that reminded her of the question he had asked her that morning, causing her to realize the reason behind the question. She had never thought about that, or thought the question was for a reason, but she was glad he did ask before he went on any interview. He cleared his throat before he replied, “Well, yes those rumors can be considered true. Miss Hart and I are in a serious and official relationship.”The pale interviewer with long

Her heels echoing as she walked in to the office, Starr had no expression on her face as she walked. She noticed everything, while look straight ahead and not saying a single thing. Amber had welcomed her into her office, like she had been waiting for her arrival. “Good morning ma,” Amber had greeted her with a little bow as she walked in.Starr nodded in reply. “When Magnus arrive, tell him I said he should fire that security who smelt like smoke,” Starr had said as she walked, Amber following her closely.Amber smiled a bit, knowing that she loved how Starr had changed but still didn’t lose her disciple touch. It was like Starr 2.0. “Yes, I would pass that message to him ma.”Starr didn’t reply her as she kept walking.“Channel TN sent an e-mail ma, they wanted to know if they could have an interview with you ma,” Amber had said to Starr, not waiting for her to reply as she added, “Should

Almost everyone was knocked out by the next morning, while Starr was up and ready for work. She had been dressed in a black leather skirt, a sky blue chiffon shirt tucked into it. She had been down, trying to get a cup of coffee before she went to work. She had bumped into Valentine in her kitchen, he had been holding a mug of tea close to his lips. She had been doing fine ignoring him, but his presence and the deafening silence between them, made her break out. “Do I still scare you?” she had suddenly asked.Valentine was taking a sip from his tea, when her question had come through. He choked on his drink, as the drink came flying out in reply. He wasn’t expecting her to say a single word to him at all, so hearing her voice was really sudden to him. “Huh?” he had asked in reply.Starr turned from her coffee machine and stared at him a little clueless, keeping her face emotionless as she once again asked, “I said do I still scare yo
