Cassandra's eyes flickered around as she tried to hide the disbelief in her eyes.
"Alright, you can leave now" she said to Jasmine who stayed back.
"Ma'am, the ladies outside are here for you to interview them," Jasmine reminded her.
Cassandra looked unsure, "Are there some ladies outside?" She inquired.
Jasmine nodded wondering what her boss meant by such a question and if she wondered if Cassandra didn't really see those ladies waiting outside her office.
Confused, Cassandra sighed, she was totally drawn to Dennis' issue that she didn't notice them. She hopes that she can find a PA as good as Dennis, see has to because with the look of thi
"Fuck!" Cassandra cursed out loud as soon as she got into her bedroom, she threw her bag on her bed and walked towards the open window, her eyes fixed on the busy road before her.She still couldn't believe that Dennis rejected her invitation, this is something that has never happened to her knowing how it took her so much consideration in her heart to stoop so low just to do something this ridiculous.She began to pace around her room as she tried to stop the tears that wanted to fall out of her eyes. No way will any man make her cry again, not now, not ever.That night she found it hard to sleep and soon, morning came. Feeling tired, she freshened up, brushed her hair and walked out of her house ready for her chauffeur to drive her to work.
Dennis let out a deep sigh, he dug his hands into his jacket pocket, glanced at Cassandra and smiled. "One of my reasons for moving away from New York is because it holds so many old memories that I don't want to remember. Growing up was never easy for me because I didn't grow up with that parental care, they were too busy with work to consider how i felt" he paused with pain in his eyes."I can never forget the days I felt like I didn't exist at all. There were times they left the house for months, leaving me under the care of nannies who were so selfish and treated me like they were not being paid to take good care of me. My childhood was just fucked up but I am glad that I am here, free from the pain, from the tears and everything that wanted to do nothing else but tear me apart, I am just excited because it feels like I have started a new chapter by moving far away from there" he said, hi
A ray of sunlight shone on her face, with a slight yawn, Cassandra rubbed her eyes which opened. The events of last night crawled into her and to her surprise, she found herself smiling. She turned to her side but Dennis was no way to be found."It's good that you are awake now" A voice said as the room door opened. Walking into the room was Dennis who held a tray filled with food. Cassandra looked at him in shock, she knew that there was no food present in her home and for him to bring such to her, he cooked it himself.Dennis saw the astonishment on her face, he laughed, and placed the food on a table next to her bed. "You don't have to look at me in such a way Miss Johnson" he stated and dipped both hands into his pocket.Cassandra glanced at the cup of
"I am sorry about the way my mum stared at you" Cassandra said as they both walked towards her car, work was over so it was time for them to head home.Dennis chuckled, "You don't have to apologize about that Cassandra. I can see that your mum is a very energetic woman".Cassandra smiled, she stopped, looked at Dennis and they both said nothing and stared at each other for what seemed like forever."Come have dinner with me tonight" Cassandra said to her surprise but she knows how serious she wants to spend more time with Dennis outside the office. "You treated me nice last night so just take this as a pay back" she smiled warmly at him.With a smile, Dennis didn't say a word but stared at her, his
Things went on smoothly in the company from that day on, with the help of Dennis,a lot of the company problems got solved and it's finances grew rapidly. Cassandra was so happy and she knew that Dennis is her lucky charm, a PA who is ready to work at any given time and someone who cares for her a lot.Cassandra's rudeness to her workers lessened a bit but she didn't fail to lash herharshness just to stop them from thinking that they can misbehave. Her friendship with Dennis also grew and the two of them met sometimes after work, they both hangout and talk more like old time friends.Dennis sat in his office, his eyes fixed on his laptop as he swiftly worked on a company report that will be needed the next day for a meeting.
"Cassandra, please listen to me, you have this all wrong, I swear to you" Dennis broke down in pain realizing what he had done."Do not address me as Cassandra, it is Miss Johnson and nothing more" she quickly shunned him, still not trying to turn to him"."But…"."Enough Dennis!" She shouted in anger, "I don't want to hear any explanation from you because you owe me nothing, I am your boss and you are my PA, nothing else so why do you want to explain anything to me?" She fired back so mad with anger but she didn't turn to look at him, her eyes filled with tears. "I want you to get out of my office, I need to be left alone" she instructed and waited for him to leave.Dennis was heartbr
Samuel sighed, you are right, it's pretty messed up and you fucked up but I won't blame you. We are men and we get attracted by what we see either boobs or couchie so you don't have to be so hard on yourself".Dennis looked up at his friend, "But what do you want me to do? How can I let her know that I don't have anything to do with the other lady because she thinks that I might have something going on with her that I don't want to spill out".Samuel attended to a customer who just walked into the bar and focused his attention on Dennis, "This happened at your workplace, the company you started working for a month ago?" He asked but his words sounded more like a statement and not a question."Yes it is".
Cassandra laid on her bed, her head rested on the pillow as she gazed at the open window, the gentle wind of the night swept in.She remembered the look on Dennis face when she said those words at the office, Cassandra knew how hmch her heart broke hearing herself saying those words to the man she loves but she could not hold herself due to the massive pain she felt, it was like someone pierced a sharp knife inside of her and she hated it so much.She got up, changed into her pink night rope and with her laptop next to her, she tried to do some work but she just couldn't, she felt so emotionally weak to do anything and it just frustrated her.As she sat staring at the images on her laptop, her doorbell rang. Cassandra got up, she ordered a pizza minutes ago
"No way girl! You must be kidding me!" Chloe shouted at the top of her voice with so much shock, her eyes not leaving Gen who was sad on the bed and slowly eating a bowl of cereal."Why on Earth will you let your dream go just because it was that stupid step brother of yours, you shouldn't have Gen, do you want to go back to your struggling agency. See this as fate working in your life and who cares about that scumbag anyway" she let out with anger as Genevieve explained everything to her."I don't want any of that because I don't want him to count favors for me. I want to do it on my own and I believe that if it is fate for me to work in that agency, they will come for me" Genevieve pointed out with so much confidence."Really?"
Genevieve walked towards the house, with her handbag in her hands, she wrapped her fingers around the door knob."Eric, I am back" she let out and turned to the living room. To her shock, she caught Eric kissing a blonde who she quickly recognized to be no one else but Sonia, the freak she beat up at the club.Genevieve was so shocked , she couldn't believe it as she stared at them, her eyes wide open and she could feel her heart winking so deeply with great astonishment."Oh, this bitch, what is she doing here?" Sonia looked at her with so much scorn that it could peel off the skin of Genevieve at any given time."What is she doing here Eric?" Genevieve asked not hiding how shocked she was.&
Genevieve glanced at the wall clock, it was almost time for her to go to the salon. Her throat aches for water and right now, she badly needs one."I need to go get a drink" she said to Eric who nodded, kissed her on the check and concentrated on the movie he was watching.Genevieve walked into the kitchen, she opened up the refrigerator, took out a plastic bottle of chilled water and gulped down half of it's content into her system.With her eyes scanning around the large kitchen, her eyes rested on a piece of paper at the counter. Confused as she wondered who would place it there, Gen walked closer to the counter, picked up the paper."To Genevieve" she muttered as she read the words writte
Genevieve's affirmation of her love for Eric tore Felix into threads. He just stood still, his eyes unable to leave her."You love Eric?" He muttered so shocked that he didn't fail to show it."Yes, I do, I have fallen deeply in love with him and I am certain about that Felix" Genevieve let out with so much assurance that it made Eric's heart bleed more.Now, he is certain that Eric has won him this time around, there is no need for him to confess his feelings to her. He must keep it to himself to avoid being ridiculed and not rejected. He knows that she will realize how deceived she has been and when that happens, he will be open to receive her back into his arms."Wow" he let out with eyes filled
It felt like the whole place didn't exist anymore, Felix glared at his angry brother with a fast beating heart, his head spinning around with so many thoughts as the words of his brother kept ringing in his head non stop."I didn't kill mother" he muttered as the pain of the past came crawling down, "It was an accident, nothing but a freaking accident!" He yelled loudly with hot tears welling up in his eyes as both brothers locked eyes together."An accident?!" "Can you hear yourself? Do you think I am going to let you fool me just the way you fooled father and everyone? No way Felix Never!".A tear dropped from Felix's eyes, "Have you forgotten Eric? I was also in the freaking car the time the accident happened, so how on Earth would I put my life at
Eric stared at his brother looking so aghast, with the look in his eyes, Eric is certain that Felix has found out about his affair with Genevieve and there is no need for him to hide it anymore but first, he must act like he knows nothing of such."What are you talking about Felix? I don't understand you, Genevieve is our sister, what other relationship will I have with her apart from the one you have with her two" he responded coolly but the cold look in Felix eyes told him that his brother knows something."I am not stupid Eric, do not play games with me" Felix snapped, his gaze not leaving his brother."What the fuck are you talking about?""The exact same fuck you are listening to!" Felix
"Eric, you never told me about your dreams, why?!" Genevieve walked into his room, her eyes on Eric who laid on his bed, his eyes fixed on the ceiling."I can't abandon father's company, he needs one of his sons and since Felix can't be the one, I have to" Eric muttered not looking at her, his gaze still on the ceiling."But you can't give up on your dreams and help father continue his, this will make you sad for as long as you breathe knowing that you didn't achieve your dreams"Eric turned to her, "This isn't about me anymore but the family legacy. If I quit and anything should happen to my father, his shareholders will take eighty percent of the company's profit and leave the rest to us which is way too small compared to their profit and you know of course tha
The sound of a car driving into the compound filled her ears. Genevieve got up from her bed and walked towards her window just to know who it might be. Her affair with Eric last night lingered in her and she cannot deny that she is deeply in love with him.She glanced and saw Felix coming out of his car, he had a black suit on which made him very handsome and Genevieve couldn't help the way her heart skipped a bit, not out of love but out of the realization that Felix will find out about her affair with Eric.She walked out of her room and headed down the stairs with her face filled with smiles."Felix" she let out at the sight of him, walked closer and wrapped her arms around him a hug."It'
Gen and Eric's relationship blossomed, they both spent the day watching movies and discussing a lot about themselves."Wow, you are a model?" Eric asked with his fingers stroking her hair lovingly."Yes, I am" Gen responded with a proud smile on her face, "But I hope a successful model agency gets me signed into their company, it will become a dream come true for me".Eric didn't say a word but smiled, he wrapped his arms around her with his fingers, stroking her hair, her words filled his ears.Later that evening, he drove out to hang out with his friends and Gen who was swimming in the ocean of love stayed right at home not able to believe that Eric feels something so great for her, she has
