"Ama, what the hell are you wearing?!"

My best friend Cassie shouted from afar as she hurried towards me. 

"That's a funny question given the fact that I'm putting on clothes and you don't have an eye problem." 

“Oh, quite alright, you are putting on clothes, but what do you call the disaster your legs are in?“ She fires back. 

My legs? I questioned inwardly before glancing down to see what she was referring to. 

"No fucking way," I whispered-yelled as I noticed the chaos I was wearing; two different shoes. It would have been a bit unnoticeable if I had at least stuck to two colours that didn't contradict each other, but my crazy and disorganized self decided to put on a black and a red shoe. 

“How could you not have noticed that you were putting on two different shoes?" Cassie shouted.

"I was in a hurry. How am I supposed to know that I would make such a mistake? You should be grateful that I'm not wearing heels instead.“ 

“Indeed! Thank you for not letting me get a call that my best friend has been admitted into a psychiatric hospital. It's a miracle that you came to the office without anyone noticing those contradicting colours you're walking in," she said, giving my feet a scrutinizing look. 

"Actually…" I started, drawing her attention from my feet to my face. 

She notices the guilty look on my face immediately. “Don't tell me you were getting stares from passersby?“ 

I couldn't come up with a response and settled for nodding my head instead.

"Ama!" She yells. 

“What? You are partly to blame for this chaos!“ 

"I wonder how you are so organized when it comes to working but not your personal life."

" That's why I have you.“ 

"Why am I still your best friend?“ She facepalmed. 

“Because you love me and can never find another friend who cooks tasty dishes."

“Haha…" she laughs briefly. "It's definitely for the first reason and not the second. Tasty dishes my ass. You're supposed to be given a restricted order from the kitchen." 

"I know," I squeaked. Both of us burst into laughter causing stares from workers moving around.

“Let's try to rectify this disaster first before moving to the next one. You are lucky I have a spare in the office, and we wear the same size."

"That's why I love you," I said as I squeezed her for a bear-crushing hug, making her let out a smile. 

Cassie has been my best friend right from my college days. I majored in media management while she took public relations as her major. We met when we were paired for a group project in journalism and, since then, the bond between us grew. 

We both walked towards my office, ignoring the stares of our co-workers. Cassie made a stop at her desk to pick up the shoes before I opened the door to my office and we went in together. 

“So, what's going on?“ I asked as soon as we entered my office. I walked towards my desk and sat down on the chair as I kicked off my shoes. 

“Gerald is being an ass,“ she complained,

"Tell me something I don't know already." I bent down to put on the new pair of shoes. Finally, the colours matched and I stopped looking like I was preparing to go on stage for a comedy show. 

“You remember the article we're writing about Giovanni Montes?“ 

“Yes, I do. We are supposed to be sending it in for printing tomorrow," I reminded her. 

She let out a defeated sigh before answering me. “That's where the problem lies. It's already on the front cover for today's papers.” 

“How is that possible? I haven't even emailed it to Leslie.“ 

"That's where Gerald comes in. I was shocked to come in this morning and find out that the article had already been printed in today's papers. I thought you finished editing it on time and decided to push the publication forward but I noticed there was a difference between the write-up and ours. I decided to do some digging and I found out it was Gerald. He had an interview with Giovanni two days before us.“ 

"What in God's name is wrong with him? Why is he so interested in getting my work?"

"Honestly, I have no idea, Ama. I just think he is jealous."

Gerald couldn't be jealous of me. He was the head editor of the Fashion Department. He was always wanting to encroach into news concerning the Art Department. This was not the first time he had done something like this.

“He can't be jealous. He is the head editor of the Fashion Department." I shouted, throwing my hands up. 

"Maybe he is being greedy?“ She asked.

"I don't know. I think this goes way beyond that and I'm going to confront him straight on."

“Are you sure that's the right thing to do?" 

"What do you suggest? Sit down and let him continue his cheap games? This isn't the first time nor is it the second, Cassie. If I don't confront him, then I wouldn't know his reasons behind all these stupid games."

"I see your point. I think you also need to talk with Leslie, then. She knew the Art Department was on that project and it's majorly under our field. Why would she accept Gerald's article without asking you about it first?“ 

I scoffed. “That's just one more issue to add to the already existing problem. Give me a few minutes. I'm going to settle this once and for all." 

“Alright! Don't be too harsh on him. If he says anything stupid, call me and I would be there to pass judgement between his legs," Cassie shouted as I left the office, making me smile. 

Poor Gerald. You have no idea what's coming for you

  • Ghost Chefs   Chapter 105

    “Shit," I muttered under my breath, avoiding eye contact with Leslie. I couldn't believe the kind of shitty luck I had. The very person whom I was trying to avoid, stood before me. There was no way for me to escape so I garnered what was left of my courage to face her. “Hey, Leslie. It's surprising to see you here this early," I said, laughing awkwardly. Leslie gave me a stern look. “Indeed,” She smirked.“Botox bitch," I muttered under my breath. “So, do you need my help with anything?" I asked her. Even though I was late, it was surprising to see her on this floor so early in the morning. There must have been a reason why she had decided to grace us with her unwilling presence. “Well, I needed to check on a particular person to see how far they had gone with the upcoming project. But, imagine my surprise when I found the office empty with neither the assistant nor Editor in sight,“ she said I sighed. “Sorry, I am late. But the reasons are beyond my power. There was nothing I

    His hands held the sides of my head as he began thrusting into my mouth, loud grunts leaving his mouth. His head was tipped backwards in pleasure and his moans were driving me nuts with pleasure. There was a feeling of pride in hearing him express the effect I had on him through his moans. It was fuel for me to do more. I took more of him into my mouth as my hands moved down between my legs to pleasure myself.I could feel he was close to the edge and I rubbed myself quickly, hoping to come along with him. Within seconds, he stiffened and I could feel warm liquid slip into my mouth. My orgasm hit me immediately like a wave and my legs shook with pleasure. I took all of his cum, swallowing them and not letting any slip out of my mouth. “God, you are incredible,“ Drew muttered, watching me swallow his cum. I giggled in response, standing up from my kneeling position. “Come here," he commanded, drawing me close to him. He kissed me deeply and senselessly. “You are going to be the deat

    I ran the water in my bathroom, hoping to take a quick shower before going to work. The coffee had helped in waking my sleepy bones but I still felt weak. If only I could spend the day indoors and not go to work, I thought. But that would never happen. Leslie would see it as an opportunity to chastise me and give me a query. That was something I wasn't interested in. The water heated up and I quickly jumped into the shower. I squeezed a reasonable amount of my shower gel into my hands and applied it to my body. I didn't bother with washing my hair because that would take more of my time which was the opposite of what I wanted to achieve. After applying the shower gel to my body, I ducked my head under the shower to rinse the soap off. The action prompted me to close my eyes to prevent the soapy water from entering them. I felt a hand wrap around my waist and I jumped in shock thinking an intruder had entered my house. I opened my eyes quickly to see who it was, forgetting that I st

    I woke up the next morning to an empty bed. My head felt like there were so many pins attached to it and I couldn't make clear what happened the previous night. I was tired and felt like I had been run over by a truck. Fuck, I am never letting Cassie take me clubbing again. I muttered "I support that idea," Drew chuckled, walking into my room with a cup of coffee. He was shirtless and I got a flashback of what happened the previous night. He had given me the best orgasm of my life and unfortunately I had slept off after it. My body was exhausted. Although the release had helped in calming down the stress hormones raging around me. Drew strolled towards me and handed the coffee to me. I smiled and gladly took it from his hands, muttering a thank you. I blew on the hot coffee and took a sip. God, it was marvelous. I moaned in satisfaction, enjoying how he took great precaution in making it just how I loved it. “God, this is amazing,“ I moaned. Drew chuckled. “Only you think that

    Drew leaned forward slowly, eyeing my lips, seeking permission to ask for more. I didn't deny him. I let him indulge just as I was enjoying the indulgence myself.We connected again and continued kissing on my bed. I slid further into the bed drawing him along with me. The kiss altered from rough to slow and sensual. I had to give him credit for being able to bring me to my knees with a kiss. His hands continued to explore my body. They ran the length of my body, cupping my breast and I ached into him. He dragged his hands down my abdomen, then further down my leg before he slowly slid up my thighs leaving a trail of fire in their path. A pool of wetness gathered between my thighs as I waited in anticipation for his hands to get to their destination. I spread my legs further apart giving him the permission he needed to touch me deeply. I have craved this for so long and it was about to happen. I couldn't help but Iean into his touch. A soft moan escaped me as he sucked on my bottom

    “Damn, your body is a pure work of art," Drew groaned, his hands roaming around my naked flesh. "I could touch it every day without getting satisfied,“ he added, his hands coming up to knead my breasts. Somewhere along the line, our position on the sofa had changed. I was sitting on his lap, my back resting on his hard chest. I could feel the heat radiating from his skin onto mine. I leaned back into him, tilting my head to the side so he could have full access to my body. I was already far gone and there was no way I was going to be listening to any rational thoughts coming from my brain. I was acting plainly on what my body wanted. I needed to be satisfied after being starved of this pleasure for months. I ground myself on him and he placed a hand on my waist to stop me. I made a sound of disappointment, not liking that he had cut my mission short. “Slow down, babe. We will get there. Let me appreciate your body first," he stated. "I dont need any of that. Just touch me," I dem
