2022-07-15 11:00:54George took his last born son to a fancy restaurant that served the best fish in the city. That's what he always did in case he wanted to propose something that would make Lewis uncomfortable and the son always knew what was coming all he hoped for was his father was going to ask something he could do. Although if it was anything he could brag about to his brothers he did it without demur. He didn't have to take him to that restaurant.
"So what is it this time dad?""Nothing am just having lunch with my favorite son...don't tell the others I said that""I won't""You say that and leak our conversations, I don't want them to hate you when we are all gone"That was his biggest worry, lack of cohesion in his family. As a father he knew all his children and their limits. Steve for one was the rebellious type, always pointing out any injustice against him. But he was better than Joe because at least one could tell what he was thinking. The latter was always quiet aRelated chapters

That Wednesday morning Elsie woke up happy as usual. It was her first day at the office and she was excited about getting a real job apart from shopping and being driven around from one mall to another. Together with Lewis the two of them were already awake and dressed up ready for work. It was the second day in a row they were making love and it was great, the guilt was fading. It was there but fading."How do I look?" She asked coming out of the dressing room in a white blouse, black blazer and matching black skirt with its sleeves rubbing her knee caps."Stunning, am worried""I will be working with your father hunnie besides I told you again and again am all yours" she said holding his hands."I know baby" he kissed her on the lips, "this few days have been fantastic I'll miss you now that you'll be busy serving my father""It's not serving, I'll be working earning a salary like everyone else, are you okay with this?" Elsie asked helping him with his tie.

The main offices of the Woodley Empire were flooded with paparazzi. According to some sources it was said that George Woodley was arriving any time from then with the newest Woodley to join the family business and it was not a secret she was Elsie. With her recent controversies, every paparazzi wanted to get a one on one with the dancing Woodley. But some were there to embarrass her courtesy of George's biggest business nemesis, Robert Keene.It was a plot to attack the rookie Woodley and see her embarrass her family and hopefully give George something else to do apart from making sure the city remained under his iron fist."Breath Elsie, breath" George said when they got at the gate.She inhaled slowly and exhaled sharply."I will be with you, by your side. Just remember what we talked about. You beat this, your record will go straight. Use your tongue well""Okay am ready" psyched up Elsie said the source of her renewed vigor being the fact that George was not

Elsie was settling in well. On her first day she already had a bunch of papers to go through and once in a while she stopped to admire the decor in her office that was made of translucent glass all round. A glass table with a long comfy leather C-suite chair that could be adjusted up and down and move three hundred and sixty degrees, a shelf of books on her left, flowers on her table with a picture of her and Jake.On the wall there was a calendar and some art of a sad girl. She kept looking at it and pictured herself a few days back. Her PA was now automatically her secretary and she was a phone call away. It still felt like a dream to her. The office phone on her desk rang, she quickly picked it up. That was the moment she was eagerly waiting for, she had practiced how to pick calls several times."The Woodley’s empire financial department how may I help you" she said her angelic voice echoing in her own head."You don't sound like a newbie" Lewis said."Argh! It's

Elsie's first day working for the family came to an end. Generally it was a good one apart from the little hitch she ran through in the name of Frank. She arranged her papers and scribbled something in her diary. They were objectives for the next day something she had learned from her mother who by the way had not done anything to help as she promised and Elsie was so scared to call her for fear of getting scolded again. That evening she gathered enough courage. To sugar coat the whole thing with some good news. She was officially a complete woman because according to her mother such woman had to work and still take care of a family, multitasking was a key skill."Hey mum, how are you?" She asked in the nicest possible way she could."Don't try to act nice with me, fine though""Come on mum what's done is done, get over it besides am still your daughter no matter what. Your words not mine""That was before you embarrassed me and my teachings""So you are not

After seeing Elsie again Frank realized how much he had missed her and how dumb he was to say he was going to stay away and wait for her to realize she loved him. Seeing her that day super jumped his obsession to tenth fold the rate it was before and based on how close he was to ruining her marriage he had a plan to stalk her without her realizing it. And about being with Lewis? Well, he was the glass is half full kind of a guy not the half empty type."Can you believe it wade" Frank said happily helping the cook in the kitchen, he was in a great mood "He was seated there with her both of us were wrong""I warned you, can you just let the chef do her job, am sure there is news you need to be watching""Are you even listening to me Wade?""Your obsession with that girl is getting the better of you I thought we agreed you should let her go""Not easy Wade, I doubt if you've ever been where I am right now" he said leading the way back to the spacious living room.

Thursday morning, Elsie's day two at work and already one of her best since George and Joe were going out of the country for a couple of days. I know you don't see how that makes it best day for her. Relax. That was the purpose of the meeting in the home office, deciding who was going to run things and no surprise here, it was Lewis. That meant the two were going to work in the same office. He or she could have popped in the others office anytime to see how they were doing, if they were breathing fine or they needed a mouth to mouth resuscitation.Tom was driving them in the reserved CEO Rolls Royce. Back left was Lewis in a grey Armani three piece suit, brown monk trap shoes on his feet, on his right was the love of his life in matching grey sheath dress, grey handbag with a pair of black wedge shoes. "This is good" Lewis said."You're kidding this is the best feeling ever babe, going to work with you, being able to see you the entire time an just super excited right n

For the first time in his life Frank was stepping foot into the Keene manor and it lived to his expectations. The decor, the floor the walls, the high-end furniture coated with gold and the staff busy walking to different directions. Everything screamed money and he had that soothing feeling that it was all going to be his. He had no intention to brag to Elsie about his secretive billionaire life but it was his last resort. If he exhausted all the options he was going to have to use that."Welcome home boy" Wade whispered in his ear. "Thank you" Frank said looking around."Wade my man!" The house manager, a short stout man with grey hair and a potbelly in a black suit and a badge on his left said walking downstairs. "Who else if not Bramwel!" Wade said happily as the two men hugged in a brotherly manner, they then went ahead to exchange pleasantries.Frank was left staring still on his feet. Looking lost like gazelle in a lion’s territory. It was not until one

At tea break, a half past ten Elsie briskly walked out of her office. Tom had already notified her that Bella was waiting in the cafeteria. She used the normal lift and you could sense the respect from her fellow employees or hatred it was hard to tell but they just like stopped talking the moment she go in there and they didn’t say a word to her until the got to the ground floor where they went to their different directions and picked up the conversations that they were withholding. It made her feel like a snitch, the bosses pet. Exactly what Lewis had warned her about. Now she needed the executive lift key card.However one brave girl named Lisa from her name tag approached her. She was wiry with curled hair, black sheath dress with red doll shoes."Good morning mum" she said happily as they marched outside."Morning, please just call me Elsie""We are used to it, referring to Mrs. Woodley when she comes around, anyway my name is Lisa am in the tech department girl

That day even the students could tell their instructor was having the best if not one of the best days of his life. The training was fun, no yelling and those deep personal speeches he used in them to remind them of why God gave them the gift of dancing and how they needed to use it to the maximum, his moves were flowless and perhaps he didn't realize this but they only practiced on love songs. It was evident the great Frank Tazz had his heart stolen by a sexy damsel because they knew he couldn't have settled for less.And all that begged one question, who one earth was she? They were however not in a hurry to know because he was going to tell them. Human beings are social creatures and most of the time we can't resist the urge to share the good things that are happening to us...that's why social media is full of happy pictures of people on vacations and trips abroad and rarely those that depict suffering or lack of enough."Am leaving early today. You guys put into practice everythin

Despite the unending stress of life brought solely by the man she referred to as her husband Elsie didn't hesitate to do her job well to the required standards. As a result of her competence George already had the loopholes that were leaking his cash in the companies and although she was just doing her job she felt a bit sad for the employees who got fired and those who were suspended as further investigations were underway. "You know embezzling funds from the company is not a very good thing, relax" Lisa was there to help her get through the guilt, "if anything you're doing the rest of us a favor, the money that is embezzled should have been used to increase our salaries""What if this is their only job?""They should have known that before engaging in that selfish act" she seemed remorseless and I gave Elsie that breather she much needed."You're right"To help her further Lisa changed the topic of discussion, too bad she changed it to a more uncomfortable one."So how did that 007

The Woodley’s were ready for work after a healthy delicious breakfast. All of them except Lewis who was both horny and angry having yet spent another night “all on his own” tossing on his massive bed. Being a lady’s man, he had vowed to never wank again...yeah again because he had wanked most of his life while trying to avoid women and focus on his goals especially in college where he was broke. But then he had money and could sleep with anyone he wanted. To him the society was to blame, the same society that had busy taught girls that a man was worthless without money wanted them to remain loyal after they finally managed to have a few coins to their name. Anyway, he could also not order for a hooker, one because it was going to be disrespectful to his dignity and that of the family and also, he couldn't tell who wanted to harm him or those that claimed to be related to him and two, now this one he should have seen it coming. He couldn't leave the compound late at night, his father'

Cub scorpion was not as fun as he expected it to be. After gobbling a couple of beers and having a cheap meaningless banter with his friend jimmy Frank asked Wade to leave. Him on the other hand was having fun despite the boring emotionless modern music blaring the speakers but since Frank was his boss wade had no option but to cut short his fun and drive them home. The city was lighting up in different neon and argon lights making it look shiny like a distant galaxy. Hundreds of cars hooting and going in different directions. Frank had his mind roaming far and wide but one particular thing was eating him up. How to tell Elsie that he wanted her for himself with no apologies. Like just walk up straight to her and let his lips and the warmth of his mouth do the talking. Then after the kiss hold her hand and let his heart melt as the words leave his mouth. Wade was thinking perhaps he wasn’t feeling okay or that conversation with his dad didn't go so well. Either way it was within his

Tension could be felt in the room, Tom was frozen his hand behind his back, he had changed to his home clothes. A pair of khaki shorts and grey polo T-Shirt. He had no idea what was going on although he could tell that Lewis didn't look so happy. For a number of reasons really but one loud one was his presence there. Yet he was no stranger to Lewis, he knew how to handle him at all times."Should I come some other time?" Tom finally found the long-awaited coordination between his brain and his tongue. "What's going on here?" Lewis asked the most awkward but much expected question, neither Elsie nor Tom was surprised that he did ask that. And yeah, they knew what he was insinuating by such. His allegation would have held some water were it not for the fact that he was seeing her best friend."Nothing, don't make a big deal out of this. Tom is here to see me""See you? And you have the nerve to say he is here to see you and I'm the one who's supposed to leave!" His voice was high pitch

All the Woodley’s except Lewis were enjoying a glass of milk in the parlor. It was a quarter to seven a bit late but you couldn't blame any of them who didn’t have a driver like Tom that knew how to beat the busy traffic. Surprisingly even George himself came in late, they found Elsie at home already helping the kids with homework, something none of them could do. It was one big happy family, and as the banter got more interesting, Joe stole Elsie away from the crowd. It had been long since the two of them had a chat, now that she knew him well she wasn't scared of facing him. But he was afraid of what she could bring on the table despite her calmness."What do you want Joe?""I come in peace" he said rising his arms in the air, a cool smile across his face that was not fooling her. She was well aware how quick he would have made it disappear. "What a joke? Last I checked you, me and peace can't co-exist""It's time to loosen up a little bit because we have a problem"It all sounded

The blackmailer watched on as the leaking with confidence Elsie laughed to her last teeth. She went to her pocket and retrieved a beautiful white flowery handkerchief. "Sorry" she said wiping tears of joy from her face, joy because she was like a student who got to see the test before sitting for it. Everything was going on as Tom said it would, “I have no idea what you're talking about here. If you want some money work hard for it or you can beg""I didn't come here to be insulted. You forget you're here alone" he said going to his pocket, showed her a knife and she also remembered he mentioned something about them being a team. "Ooh, yeah that's right. I'm sorry but we are both wasting each other's time here. You're accusing me of something I didn't do""Don't act smart with me. You know what? Just got an idea""I hope it helps both of us stop wasting time" "No, you know the price tag had just gone up. Now I'll be asking for half a milli. You can afford it by selling jewelry alon

That evening after work Elsie quickly went to check on George, she wanted permission to go run an errand, but we both know she wanted to go for that meeting with the blackmailer, sounds awkward and stupid but after thinking deliberately about the whole thing she decided to rise to the occasion and face her own demons, nothing was going to happen if she just sat there and expected her problems to disappear. She was going to take the bull by the horns and snatch her peace back. "Don't stay out late, you heard the conversation at the table" George said without making eye contact, it seemed as though he was going to be there for quite some time. To some extent she pitied and wanted to help, but you can't pour from an empty cup. The only way she could help him was if she didn't have problems of her own."Sure, I might be able to help tomorrow""You worry too much about me kiddo" he raised his gaze, "Too much to an extent my own son thinks you're trying to replace him""He was just angry,

It was another fine Monday morning at the Woodley manor. Everyone was awake and active the children were preparing for school and the adults for work. Despite the small altercation with Lewis the Weekend had been great and it was not going to affect the vigor with which they were going to approach their various duties. Feeling left out was Lewis because whilst everyone was busy getting ready for work he was still in his pajamas looking on, he also felt jealous but again he had no one to blame except himself...not exactly what he thought. He blamed all of them. Anyway, on his way out to swim and sunbath the whole day, sleep was also on his schedule, he found Joe trying to help Andy get it together. Hilarious to him."You got this babe, this is just like any other office you've held. I can go with you if you like""No, I'll be good. They'll think am hiding behind you""Then tell me how I can help""You already believe in me, right? That's all I needed to hear""Go
