Hello guys, It's been a while of going off and on because of my traveling schedule but I'm going to make the effort of posting regularly.
I took it out of my bag and checked the caller ID. I picked it up immediately and sighed tiredly."Ethan White, what's all this about?" I asked sharply. Don't get me wrong, I love the treatment but I just wanted to sleep."Relax babe, just enjoy it. I'll pick you up by 7:30 pm." He said quickly and hung up. Huh, the nerve. Before I could call him back, Liya grabbed my hand into a dresser and gave me various gowns to test out.After changing and changing, I finally found the dress. It was a short silver backless gown.We went over to the counter but were told that everything was already paid for.What the heck is going on, seriously?We finally pulled up at my apartment and I rushed out to unlock the door. I rushed inside my room with my shopping bag in tow and fell face-first unto the bed."Precious, don't be lazy and go shower. You have an hour to get dressed before Ethan picks you up," Funke said, dragging my ass out of bed. I groaned out loud only for it to come out muffled but I s
We reached the roof and I gasped. The roof was dimly lit, with balloons hanging in the hair, a small jazz band playing in the background, and a table for two. "C'mon, let's eat" Ethan whispered into my ear snapping me out of my gaze. I followed him speechless to the table. He brought out the chair for me and I sat down. A waiter came and served our food, oh my God. It was my favorite food. Pounded yam and Egusi soup. "Oh my God, Ethan, this is perfect" I gushed out while he smiled and washed his hands. I joined him and started eating. “Where did you get the jazz band?” I asked seriously. “Joel found them and thought I should serenade you with it,” he shrugged as I snickered. “Whoa, I’ve never understood jazz music but this is beautiful,” I replied, with a small smile. “Wait a minute, I saw Mr. Davis storming into the office this afternoon. He looked so mad. Have they processed his arrest warrant?" I asked as I suddenly remembered/ “Yeah, I’m sure he was escorted by the police,”
I stirred slightly to the ray of light peeking through my brown curtain and groaned. I turned my body till I was resting on my left side and covered my face with a pillow to stop the sunlight from waking me up. Before I could go any deeper into the second round of sleep, my alarm blared. The song "Rewrite the stars" by Anne-Marrie and James Author played loudly causing me to snap the sleep off my face and stand up.I turned off the alarm and did my morning prayers. Once I was done, I replayed the alarm song and sang along as I arranged my bed and picked out my clothes for the day.Today’s my first day at work as the chairwoman of Godiver Chocolatier Factory and to say I was nervous would be an understatement.Ethan and I spent yesterday going over the transfer of name and property files and everything that had to do with the legal ownership of the company. Goosebumps appeared on my skin as I remembered how the board stared at me like I didn’t deserve my position and honestly, I also t
We got to the company after thirty minutes because we had to drop off Funke at her workplace. She worked as a lab analyst for a food research and laboratory company that dealt with everything analytical about processed food.Bundles of nerves erupted in my stomach making me thankful that I hadn’t eaten anything for breakfast. Ethan and I, along with a bunch of lawyers, may have settled everything legally, but I still felt nervous.“No! I can do this,” I whispered as Luke opened the car door for me.I rubbed my clammy hands on my handkerchief and stepped out with a sigh.“Good luck, Madam,” Luke said making a small smile appear on my lips.“Thank you,” I replied sincerely and checked the time to see that it was 7:45 am before walking into the building.As soon as I stepped in, all employees including security that passed by stopped for a few seconds to greet me. It was the “It’s the chairman” kind of greeting but at least everyone had a real smile on their faces when they saw me.“At l
“So, why are the reports of the proximate analysis not among the documents here?” I asked and trained my eyes on the blonde, probably 6 ft tall man standing behind the small wooden podium.“We haven’t completed the analysis yet. We are still considering other options,” another man, who had brown hair and was clad in an all-black suit outfit, that made me wonder how he wasn’t hot, said with a smug look on his face.Hmm, a douchebag.“Let me see if I get this right. Do you mean to tell me that the chocolate-coated potato chips project that was authorized by Mr. Davis three months ago hasn’t gotten anywhere in terms of laboratory analytical data and that you all are still considering other options that are in turn delaying further commencement of the project? Did I get that right?” I watched as the brown-haired man flinched at my eerily calm tone.At least it wiped the smug look off his face.“We still do not think it is the best project for the upcoming fall season,” the blondie said, a
By the time I was done with my work for the day, it was almost 6 pm and I was more than ready to get out of this place. I was tired, hungry, and sleepy and couldn’t decide whether to get take out or just sleep off.I sighed, pushed back the leather chair, picked up my coat and bag, and walked out of my office.The floor was empty because I had asked Brooklyn to get off, at her normal leaving time and that was two hours ago. I talked to Ethan during lunch but I would have to call him when I get home. Entering the elevator, I pressed the ground floor button and got a ping on my phone.“Are you done with work?” A smile lit my face at Ethan’s text.“Yeah, leaving already,”I replied and closed my eyes for a bit. The elevator opened just as I got another ping.“I miss you,” My heart fluttered. I had been so busy with work that the only time we met was when he made the effort to come by my apartment and make me his mum’s famous pancakes.“Not as much as I miss you,” It was true. I missed
Whatever we feel, there is an opposite reactionhow we can overcome it, For what is a king, without his queen...©OluwatoyosiEthan's POVI woke up with a smile on my face but it quickly turned into a frown, I was alone on the bed. The other side was rumpled, making me think she got out not too long.I dozed off while watching her sleep. I smiled at the comforter wrapped around my body. She must have placed it there.I removed the covers off me and stepped into the bathroom to brush my teeth. Stepping out, I walked downstairs, to see Ife walking around the kitchen barefoot and in one of my hoodies she borrowed. She was making pancakes, eggs, and sausages. I watched as she moved graciously from the pan to the table trying to set it up. I walked over to her carefully so she wouldn't notice me and wrapped my arms around her waist, she stiffened but relaxed quickly knowing it was me."Hmm... I could get used to this. Good morning Ífé mi" I said as she snuggled into me.“Oh, really? And
Ife walked out of the shower with a towel wrapped around her body and hair. She looked amazing even when wet. I gave her a peck and rushed into the bathroom. I stepped out of the bathroom to see Ife already dressed in a yellow shirt and blue jeans reminding me that Funke had brought some of her clothes here when we went to Paris.Walking into my closet, I dressed up in a simple white tee shirt and blue jean trousers. Pulling on the silver bracelet that Ife gave me."Where are we going?" I asked curiously but she just smirked, sitting on the bed and looking back at her phone while answering a message."Just out." She said vaguely and I crept up to her and she moved back but I was faster, I pulled her towards me and tickled her."Where are we going?" I asked slower but she was already in a fit of laughter. I remember she's very ticklish."It's not going to happen," she said in between laughs, and I gave up. I removed my hands and helped her up.She pulled me downstairs, carried a basket
