"Maddie!! I can't find it. I can't find it. I have almost turned the whole room up side down." Laura sobs into her phone half yelling and panicking "Look Lu, you need to calm down. It's just a ring. He won't even notice, and didn't you say he told you his guests would be arriving anytime soon? You need to leave the house." Pacing round the room she replied "Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. I'm loosing my mind Madds" "Girlllll you can't have a break down right now. I'm too high for this. I was about charging my vibrator when you called back." I need to do away with this girl. "Do you think he heard all what I said about him in the kitchen? Is this some sort of trap now to get me fired and killed? MADDIE TURN THAT VIBRATING MACHINE OFF!!" Shouldn't you be at the cafe working right now? Why the hell is there a vibrator for goodness sake. She started off laughing "This is the millionth time you'll be asking me this. And yes my dearest Miss cotton I think he eavesdropped on our conversation. But I
“What is your secretary doing in my office and why won’t you stop blowing up my phone?” King demanded with a grunt as he stormed into Brian’s office.King stared at him from where he stood holding a scowled expression. Wondering why he’s never serious.“Alright. For your first question, I took it upon my self. As the kindhearted friend that I am..” He gestured with his hands— “To lend my secretary to you for the time being, before you get yourself one.”Lend? Since when did we start lending each other our staffs. “You are welcome.” Brian quietly said as he swiveled around on his seat.“Andddd for the second question. Thank you very much for that question by the way.” King began to stomp out of the office — “I’ll be in my office when you are ready to tell me what this ‘supposed’ urgency is about. And please get that overly clumsy girl out of my space.”Brian got up immediately to block him from leaving. “I was just about getting to the second question, why are you always so agit
Working in a busy cafe and feeling someone’s hot gaze on you for the past hour would have your whole mind and body spiraling out of control the whole time.Laura hasn’t been able to properly focus with King still in the cafe, sat comfortably working on his laptop.“You’re a mess Lu. You’ve tucked in your hair more times than I have heard my name this year.” Maddie stated in a mocking drawl as she teased.Taking the tray from her. Maddie pushed Laura to go check if Mr McGorritth needed anything.“He’s been watching you the whole hour honey! Don’t worry. I’ve got you. Just go talk to him!” Standing behind the counter, Laura struggled with Maddie “He’s not been watching me. Keep your delusions to your self Madds. STOP!” She whined.Maddie shot her a deadpanned expression— “I’m going to cause a scene here if you don’t move. And think before you talk please. We both know how your brain works.” “Psttt. Hey! Stop biting your lips.” Maddie whisper yelled as Laura walked over to King. Thi
“The property listings and the property valuation on this presentation doesn’t align. How on earth am I to go into that meeting and present all these? Coupled with the abstract project development plans! ” King complained to a panicking Brian as they went over the deliverables to be discussed at the meeting.Brian loosened his tie for the umpteenth time that afternoon before coming up with a reply “Well technically you’re not the one doing the presentation. Didn’t you say Laura agreed to what ever stupid idea you proposed to her?” “And where is the Laura? I doubt she would be coming. Look, it’s past 2pm already! The investors and other delegates are already getting seated in the board room. I guess I’ll have to handle all this myself.”The day had gone faster than King had expected. And far worse than he imagined. Living life without a secretary or a personal assistant wasn’t ideal for him in any way.“Don’t you have her number? You can call you know? Check if all is alright with her
PRESENT DAY…Life sure has a way of keeping someone in check, this time around Laura had been less and less of herself lately. With Dave opening up about his battling cancer, it felt as though everything about her life was falling apart. She along with her elder sister— Storm— grew up with Dave and Maddie here in New York City, for years before Storm passed away tragically when they were still in high school after a scandalous event. As years passed, Laura becsme less of herself and just lived for each day. She seemed to be okay with her boring lifestyle. But until recently—when she started working for King— Laura began to crave for a change.Still very much confused on the next step to take, now it feels as though her life isn’t hers. Laura would do anything to make the people around her feel okay. Even if it means sacrificing her own happiness. It had been three whole days since the event at the hospital and she’s yet to hear from King. Her mind kept repaying all the things that
The previous night ended quite surprisingly for Laura. Narrating her ordeal to Maddie and Dave she got to find out that they knew all what he had to say since he had already been to the house earlier on. And what got her pondering right now as she stood in front of King's gigantic gate was the fact that her uncle seemed to be in the know of whatever he wanted to discuss with her.When she had probed further all Dave could offer was a laugh and a shrug saying he was not in the position to reveal.Checking her phone to see the time is just two minutes past 4pm. Laura breathed out a huge sigh. She knew what his days were like and she decided to come at a time when she guessed he would be back home resting.With a pounding heart and her short yellow stripped sunflower dress she pressed the buzzer. Announcing her arrival.After passing through the gate and nervously greeting Alex and Andre by the way, she got to the front door. And before she could say jack, King opened the door for her to
King sat on his kingsized bed with his hands clutching his head after he picked up his phone to answer a call from his sister-Anne- who had been calling all morning to tell him she was waiting for him at his office. Why won't she just come over to the mansion? He hated when she acted like this. Although all their lives she always had a closer relationship with him than their elder brother Greg. King had always indulged her out of the fondness he will continue to have for her.He had intentionally kept his phone on silent before going to sleep after returning from the club knocked out, as he had planned to sleep throughout the morning. Knowing he would be waking up with banging migraines. Right now he wasn't thinking properly as all he could think of was hearing from Laura concerning the proposal.After she left he worriedly decided to go to the club-to clear his head- and ended up 'accidentally' hooking up with this blonde girl, in his defense she had mesmerizing features like Laura
Yes, Dave was in support of the marriage idea but he wasn’t sure if that what was Laura would want for herself. She was still having a hard time discovering her self, and at this age with not much exposure? Could she handle such commitment?. The clouds are barely out. With Laura lying on her bed and Dave sitting by her side they have a mind rapport over her new reality.“Are you really going to go through with it? I know you to be a lover girl, would you really forfeit the prospect of ever being loved? Just because you got pregnant for your boss?” Dave worried.“ I could always leave after having the baby. It’s no big deal Dad, we can make this work.” Taking his hands and offering him a cheeky smile she replied reassuringly for the zillionth time that morning.Call me delusional but I’m going to make him fall for me! “I’m not in support of you leaving! Don’t talk about that. Can’t you see how my marriage ended with Maddie’s mum? She left me for someone else in the most shocking way.
