Kenneth got to his house only to meet her live and vibrant.
Save for the scar, her body is as clean as a porcelain jug in a way that no one would ever thought she had alot of allergies on her body the previous day. Tanya even took the initiative to prepare dinner for him which marvelled Kenneth the more. "You shouldn't have done all these?" Tanya smiled as she collected his bag and coat, "You took care of me throughout yesterday when I was sick, is preparing dinner for you too much?" Kenneth smiled simply and agreed to her terms. While eating, he took the initiative to ask, "Can you go over to your mum's place for some days?" Tanya's brown perked up, "Why should I?" "I'm traveling to China tommorow and I don't know how long it will take before I come back, it's bussines" Tanya drank the water in her cup and sighed before replying, "So? If you're traveling why should I go to my mom's place?" Kenneth dropped the cutleries and replied, "You're still sick Tanya. How can I leave you to yourself?" "Then let's go together?" She said simply. Kenneth's eyes widened. "We should go to China together?" "Yes, you can't leave me to myself, and I can't go to mom's place and besides I'm your secretary going to bussines with you is normal" she explained. She gulped another cup of water and continued, "Because we live together doesn't mean I shouldn't do my job as your secretary Ken. At office I practically do nothing so let me follow you" Kenneth was lost of words as he listened to this woman. He could only muster inaudibly, "Okay then" ~~~ The second day, Tanya and Kenneth packed their bags and left for the airport. After sometimes which is almost midnight at China, they landed at Hongkong International Airport before checking into an hotel. Kenneth explained the concept of the meeting and every details of the meeting to her that very night before sleeping. Kenneth didn't hide the fact that he came to the meeting on his dad's insistence due to his questions to Kenneth's ability. Tanya can't help but feel sorry for him as she heard him narrate the situation. With a sigh, Tanya placed her hand on his shoulder and said, "Don't worry Ken, we'll surely make this happen" The next morning, they arrived at the main office of where the meeting would commence. Several stakeholders and many reporters are already present before their arrival. Like others, Kenneth and Tanya signed the attendance sheet and proceeded to the meeting hall. As they entered the room, they bowed to the people present before taking their seats. Mr Li, the main chairman of the meeting can't keep his eyes off Tanya so much that Kenneth could notice. He leaned over to her and whispered, "Watch out for this man, he seems to have another thoughts" After the meeting, which seems to favour Kenneth, while Kenneth was exchanging handshakes with most of the people that came to the meeting leaving Tanya in the conference room, Mr Li showed his through colors. "Would I trouble Miss Tanya if I invite you to a dinner tonight?" He asked. Tanya sighed as she was constantly looking out for Kenneth but replied with a simple smile, "I will have to decline that offer Mr Li, as I would be preparing the next meeting with the CEO tonight" Mr Li stood up from him seat and sat beside Tanya then he continued, "Miss Tanya are you happy working with Mr Griffin?" Tanya shot him a glance cautiously while Kenneth's warning keep ringing like an alarm in her ear, "What are you saying Mr Li?" He continued with that sly tone, "I mean would you like to work here at China? You're an excellent woman and a good secretary. Imagine working in a company bigger than Immortal?" Tanya sensed danger so she hurriedly packed hers and Kenneth's things and made to exit the room when he grabbed her hand as if to hug her forcefully but Tanya pushed him back with all power and rushed out. Kenneth was on his way back when he saw her and was surprised to see her in a panicking state. "What happened?" He asked. Tanya was gasping as she explained everything that happened in his absence. Kenneth gritted his teeth and clenched his fingers in anger. No angry at her but angry that Mr Li could use the opportunity that she pushed him to start another scandal. He took he hand and they walked away from the office premises only to be stopped by the security that Mr Li wants them in his office. They went back to the office only to see him with bandage on his head and a letter stating that their proposal was declined. "The stakeholders are coming back I have called them" Mr Li said. "What is this Mr Li? The stakeholders clearly agreed to our proposal and said they'll send a confirmation email?" Kenneth asked. Mr Li smirked at Tanya who was standing behind Kenneth and said, "You should ask your secretary that question! This shameless woman throw herself on me!" By this time, the stakeholders are back and was demanding an explanation, which Mr Li gave that, "When everyone left, she started seducing me so I could make sure that the meeting was successful and when I try leaving the room, she try throwing herself on me and during the process I fell" Everyone gasped. One of them said to Kenneth, "You should at least show some shame by coming with a more decent person. How did you expect us to believe that you're competent enough to handle this job?" "Yes, this is the most shameless thing Immortal could do" "We doubt the relationship between you two!" Kenneth's hands are shaking in readiness to punch Mr Li in the face. After sometime Mr Li said, "Since most stakeholder are against this, we have no choice but to cancel....." Gently, Tanya touched Kenneth's hand and shouted "Stop!!!" Everyone was surprised, "What else did you have to say?" She continued, "Stop it I say. Show me the evidence that I indeed seduce Mr Li?" Everyone was quiet. "Tanya you..." Kenneth was about to say but she raised her hand to stop him. "Including you Mr Griffin, how can you let them be saying all these about your company because your secretary is a seductress?" Kenneth gulped. This is a new side of her he just discovered. She continued, "Yes I agree that I seduced him but how did that affect the contract? Immortal is Immortal and I am me!" Everyone gulped again as they nodded in agreement. Finally with a remorseful tone Tanya said, "You can ask Mr Griffin to fire me, I'll accept it but don't cancel this contract I beg of you. Yes I'm a shameless woman that doesn't want my boss's effort to go to waste, you should consider this" Then one of them asked, "Why should we consider him because of you?" "Winning this contract is not for him alone but for him and his wife. Winning contract is a life saver. Winning this contract is winning a huge battle so regardless of me, don't refute this" Everyone was touched even Mr Li felt shamefaced so much that he left the room immediately. "Tanya...." Kenneth is about to say but she interrupted, "Mr Griffin, you can fire me I'll accept it" With that, she left the room solemnly. Everyone stood up and gave her a wonderful ovation.As Tanya and Kenneth landed at the airport, she received a text from her mum inviting her back home. She said to Kenneth, "Drop me at the subway station I need to go and see mum" "Shall we go together?" He asked. Tanya shook her head, "No, she just wants to see me after discharging from the hospital" "Alright, I'll also head to our house to tell dad about the outcome of the meeting" When they got to the subway station, Tanya's got off and boarded a bus leading to her stepfather's house.Meanwhile, As Kenneth drove into The Griffin's house, Celine came out with an enthusiastic smile to welcome her brother. "Welcome back brother" She beamed while Kenneth hugged her with a smile. "How have you been? Did you eat well?" He asked as they entered the house. "What about Sister-in-law? Didn't she go with you? Where is she?" Kenneth explained the situation to her and walked into his dad's study only to met it in a sullen and disheveled state. His dad is breaking several things and fal
Tanya got home that day look very downcast. Without speaking much to him, she had he dinner and got prepared for bed. Kenneth could noticed something off in her and decided to start a conversation before she departed to her room. "I won't ask if you're okay when I know you're not" he started and walked to the drinks cabinet and grabbed some bottles of alcohol, "Why don't we chat over some drinks?" Tanya felt like she needed it at that moment to deal with the mental stress Bianca put her through. She nodded in agreement.They settled down at the balcony while watching the stary sky. There was a long moment of silence between them. Just drinking and watching the sky and sighing simultaneously. After what seems like ages spent with sighing, Kenneth spoke first, "Well, I agree that we might be married for some certain reasons but we could share personal problems and concerns to each other. Don't you think the silence between us when we're not talking about work is precarious?" Tany
Kenneth's car rolled into a neighborhood where many private building had their own parking lot and navigated through gated keypads. Tanya marvelled with awe as she saw the rich and luxurious environment and the amazing streetlights. Tanya expected him to stop the car soon but instead the car continued till the end of the neighborhood. "Where are we going?" She asked. "You'll see when we're there" After sometime, he stopped the car in front of a luxurious fountain gushing with cold water while a stature bearing a pregnant woman was at the middle. "Wow, this is a pleasant surprise" she exclaimed as she got down from the car and rush towards the fountain. Kenneth also got down from the car and leaned beside it while admiring the smile on her face."Why did you bring me here?" She asked finally. Kenneth walked lazily towards her and they both sat the edge of the fountain, "I don't know, I just wanted you to see it. Actually... You're the person that brought me here" Tanya was sur
As Kenneth sat at the back of his limousine which was conveying him and his wife to the airport, he received a call from a subordinate. "Sir, the security team had found out about the CCTV footage you gave them last month" As he said this, Kenneth quickly the brothel where he met Tanya, the drink spike hasn't been clarified."Oh yes, what have you find out about it?" The subordinate was silent for a moment before he responded, "We have found the original CCTV footage which means the one you found was manipulated. I have sent the original footage to your email"Kenneth ended the call and quickly checked his email and saw the video sent to him. His hair stood at one end immediately he saw how the drink was spiked. The person who spiked the drink was Frank Harper and it wasn't Tanya's drink that he had spiked. It was the drink he had ordered. In the video, the waiter had served the drink in the cup and was answering other people before bringing it to where Kenneth was when Frank sp
Tanya jaunts happily towards hers and her fiancé's room with a cute gift box in her hand. She stopped at the door so she could plan her entrance surprise when she heard indistinct chatters from the room. She opened the door and met the sitting room filled with women accessories that are not hers. Ranging from High heels, lingerie, and finally a pink gown that was never hers. She was flabbergasted again as she tiptoed to the bedroom only to hear moans and screams of pleasure. Two lips clasped together in passionate kiss. Her heart trembled. She strained her neck and listened. Frank Harper, her to-be husband was about to remove the lady, Bianca her stepsister's bra but she put a hand on his lips. "Not now baby" she said in a soft be gentle voice. Tanya gulped. She waited, nothing came the a moment later, Franks voice sounded, "Why? I'm in mood" Bianca shifted on the bed, "Frank, I'm pregnant!" "What?!" Frank asked, shock evident in his voice. Tanya was also shocked, feeli
Tanya stumbled out of the Hotel gate with hot tears streaming down her face. She couldn't deny the fact that she loved him a bit as she walked on the street that cold and windy night like a desolate soul searching for a bar to drink away her sorrow. She stumbled into a night club with a stagger and bumped into a man on her way inside. Tanya bowed feverishly as she apologized, "I'm sorry". Her blouse opened slightly as her hand hit his chest, he looked at her shoulder, the scars there were familiar and so eye catching. Tanya noticed his gaze on her skin, she quickly covered her shoulder and walked past him and joined the party. Kenneth Griffin stared at the lady on the dance floor, he can't help but wonder where he has met her before. Her dancing steps, elegant but still not perfect as her leg is not steady and sharp. Tanya stumbled out of the dance floor to the counter and sat in front of the bar man himself and drank several cups alone until someone walked by. She looked
Tanya shouted as Bianca dragged her hair. "What are you doing?" A domineering voice asked from behind making Bianca and Tanya very shocked.At first, Bianca's was thrilled by the man but for Tanya, she was shocked that he had followed her.She left Bianca's grip and rushed to him. "Why did you follow me?"Kenneth looked at her with a questioning gaze, "To return your money of course. I don't need it"Tanya gulped. She was about to say another thing when Bianca walked over with a malicious smirk on her face, "So this is it? You left your dear Frank to go and sleep with a male prostitute aren't you shameless for a while?" This word stabbed Tanya. Shameless? That word rang a bell in her ears as she shot Bianca a angry gaze. "Aren't you also shameless for sleeping with your stepsister's husband to be?" Kenneth kept quiet as he listened to this words exchange between the two sisters. He now understood why she got drunk the previous night. He thought in his mind, if this lady is cheated
At his house, Kenneth Griffin paced up abs and down as he watched the CCTV footage that has just been forwarded to him by his subordinate. He had requested for the CCTV footage earlier and as he watched or, he couldn't see how the substance got into her drink just people dancing around."Who drugged her then?" He thought throughout the night until he fell asleep.The next morning, Tanya sleep walked into the dinning room to take early morning water and prepare for her new job as she glanced at the news her stepfather was watching. The newscaster began, "The renowned CEO of Immortal International firm of Springfield City, Kenneth Griffin was confirmed to be a male prostitute" Tanya was shocked as Kenneth 's picture pooped up on the screen.The news continued, "As the witness said, he had slept with a mysterious woman at a brothel in Fairfield and now set to employ the woman. Due to this news, the market price of the company has plummeted as all investors demanded an explanation"She
