His Boss's Partner The Limit Of Loyality
Chapter Forty OneMrs. Ann walked into the CEO’s office the next day, her posture confident but respectful. She knocked softly before entering, catching his attention as he looked up from a stack of paperwork."Good morning, sir," she greeted politely, her voice steady.The CEO glanced up with a nod, a faint smile on his face. "Good morning, Mrs. Ann. Thank you for not disappointing us yesterday. You handled everything well."She smiled, feeling a bit of relief. "Thank you, sir. I just wanted to make sure everything went smoothly."The CEO leaned back in his chair, studying her with a thoughtful expression. "You’ve proven to be a valuable asset to this company. It’s not easy to find such dedication these days."Mrs. Ann nodded, appreciating the compliment but still sensing there was more he wanted to say. "I’m just doing my best for the company, sir.""I can see that," Thompson replied.“I want to see you Mr. Thompson, I actually think it's important to discuss this with you, though I

"He was my worst mistake. I regret everything. I regret meeting him." I let out, baring out my whole heart to Anna, my friend who has stood with me, when life seemed so clouded. She had been a shoulder to lean on and I was grateful for the gift of her."May, you need to be stronger. You've been stronger all along, but you just might have to be stronger. Blake has been such an asshole, you can't afford to let yourself be bruised by that riff raff." Anna advised."I can recall very vividly the instant I had found something fishy in his car. He chuckled awkwardly telling me it can't be, telling me it was an aftershave, he ordered." I let out to Anna.Anna threw me a quizzed glare "and...you.... didn't check....the...label?" she said, eyeing me, jokingly. "Anna, you know I can be nonchalant at times" I said, trying to make light the situation. Anna heaved a sigh, she knew couldn't argue with me for too long without another argument coming up.She decided to overlook that "May!" She said h

"Why do people find sexting interesting?" I typed in, to my utter amazement, his suggestion was widely practiced. Some of the examples of words used were explicit too.I minimized my search engine and resurfaced our chat, to my amusement, Elvis had dropped tons of messages within few minutes. "If you don't like to we won't" "hello" "are you there?" "sorry I suggested that" "hi Marianne." I had been through too much with Blake, I put it to mind to be wise, but my emotions were getting the best of me.I smiled inwardly and texted back "Relax loverboy, I am in, we can do that" I responded enthusiastically despite, the fact that I felt weird about it. Deep down I didn't feel okay with it, but I decided to ignore how I felt about it. "Really?" Elvis responded immediately, sending me happy emojis, "Guide me on master" I texted teasingly.Elvis took the clue and melted our harmless chat into something erotic, although a part of me wasn't comfortable at first but over few minutes my responses

I picked up my phone and dailed Anna's number who picked up at the second ring. "Anna" I said pleasantly, "Marianne, how are you?" She asked in soft whispers. "Aren't ...you ...home?" She asked calmly, " I am in a meeting" she continued " do you....." I started, pausing in the way, "never...mind, I... will call ...you later" I said, cutting the call and feeling dejected.My phone chimed and Elvis's message surfaced, I rolled my eyes hoping desperately it was nothing sexual like the previous half nude he sent me. I just felt it out too extravagant and weird.To my ultimate relief, he only messaged to ask me on a date that evening.Maybe that was what I needed to take my mind off all my worries, I thought inwardly, responding with a positive emoji. I rummaged through my wardrobe trying on different clothes till I settled on a red strapless gown which accentuated my curvy hips.I looked myself in the mirror and felt elated by my look. I sat at the mirror, brought out my make up bag and da

We danced the night away, sipping on our glasses of tequila. In the following seconds we were now drunk, and that was the last I could remember.I and this stranger, soaked in the intoxicating effects of the tequila we had, made our way for the next available sofa, falling vigorously onto the sofa.I opened my eyes to find myself in the arms of this stranger, it didn't matter that much. I had a swell time and he did too, to us, that was all that mattered. In a few minutes my eyes were cleared of all the alcohol that clouded my sense of recognition. It suddenly dawned on me that I knew the man in question.As I sat there, hoping he'd not recognize me, ravaging thoughts bombarded my head. I sneaked out through the closest exit I could find. It was one of the boss's brothers, at one of the companies Anna had suggested I apply for a job.As this reality slowly dawned on me, chills ran down my spine. I was able to make my way home safely, but my heart wasn't at rest. I still had to make m

"There's something left. Don't you think so?" Gina asked, looking around as she sat in the almost dark training room."Something like what?" I asked, "Your tenacity?" I added, "Don't bother answering, it's a rhetorical question." I said, chuckling. "Force is symbolic sometimes, it's not always what you think it to be." I said, steadying my position."It's about what you leave behind, for the next generation." I said, trying to keep her on track. "That's what they always say," she said, gasping for breath."Your children would thank you. A wise father leaves for his children, something to hold on to when he no longer walks the earth." I adviced."Now go for it! Lift it like it's the cause of every iota of pain you've ever felt!" I instructed. She gritted her teeth, lifting the heavyweight off the floor with all the strength she could muster."I'm done here, we'll try again next time!" She lets out, dropping the weight abruptly and turning her back immediately. She spined, trying to re

"There's no point in knowing my name." The voice on the other side of the call said. "Who the heck are you?" I asked, my voice towering a bit."My name is not important here." The voice said, "Then what is? Get it over with, I don't have all day!" I exclaimed.A call came through from Aaron, while I was still on this call with the stranger. I didn't hesitate to cut the stranger's call."Aaron. Any updates?" I said calmly, clearing my throat. "Not quite exactly, Boss. Did you get a call from a number?" Aaron asked."Don't be an asshole, Aaron. Strangers call me everytime." I said, "okay, my bad, Boss" Aaron said, repeating the question."Well, I don't quite know how exactly to answer that and be correct. I did get a call from unknown numbers."But I was on the call with one of them when your own call came in. I thought that was out of line and strange." I said."I think someone is on his way to ambush you. And he's not the only one. He is coming in the company of his men and I tell you

As I watched my father's car leave the driveway, I felt empty inside in an empty house with noise. I had to leave as well, but where the hell was I going to go? With the pandemonium I had escaped down there, it was no place for me to be going back onto the streets. While the reality of the situation was still dawning on me, my cousin was gone, my friends were no longer to be trusted, possibly not even my father, and now, I and Marianne were no more. My legs wobbled beneath me as I stood from the chair. The house was suffocating me, the walls closing in upon themselves as I felt more buried under guilt with each passing second. I sighed and headed to the garage. I had to get my head cleared, and there was only one way: drive like a bat out of hell. I chose my birthday present from last year: a shiny red exquisite car. A night like this deserved a beast of a car. The engine jolted off, and I heard it reverberate inside the vast garage.I started it and heard its roar, its comfortin

You'll be dead when I return. And when I'm back, you wouldn't like how your story would end!" He let out, as I heard him walking away. The police arrived almost immediately he walked off."Hello, Avia." I said, trying to keep my voice from shaking. "He might come for you, just like he did me. He even had a bunch of spare keys! Luckily for me, I guess the key didn't fit!" I exclaimed."Oh my goodness, I think you should move in with us till everything is settled, till he's handed over to the police. You can't play gamble with your life. Because if he kills you, the worst that could happen is him being executed.""But you'll be long dead and gone before then. So you need to try to be as logical as possible." She adviced. "I know. But I also know that staying at your place, that's a different level of inconvenience. I don't want to put you through that." I said."Not in this life or another, would you ever inconvenience me. Please never say that again, you are a sister to me and you prov

"Do you feel better now?" I heard her mother ask her. "Better, mother." She said, weakly, looking around, as if still feeling like they were still being watched or followed."I'll be on my way now, Avia. Please get well soon." I said, getting up to leave. I knew I had overstayed and my job might be paying for that soon. "That's... That's... Okay, I'm grateful! Thanks you so much for staying around!" She said, her voice now shaky."Oh come off it, stop now or you're gonna make me tear up too." I said, getting emotional already. "I have to say what's on my mind. I didn't see it coming at all. How you were there for me. Fought and defended me." She said."That's just how I am, and you're not an enemy of course." I said, "What would you have rather had me do? Stay there and watch you die?" I joked, "now come over here!" I said, as we embraced each other.We held each other tightly for the following seconds, soaking in our emotions and just being grateful that she was alive."Thank you."

His Boss's Partner Death Calling
"Is there really anything good about the afternoon?." He replied, not bothering that someone else was now in the room. "How may I help you?" I asked, spiting him, "oh you!" He said, in composed excitement. "What a small world." He said, under his breath, not knowing that I heard him."She?" I asked, pointing in her direction, "yeah. If I get what you mean." He answered, a pale countenance sweeping through his face. "Okay?" I asked, "why are you here?" I asked, looking squarely at him."Is there a rule that says I can't?" He asked, goofingly. "I expect you to know that." I said coldly, "you have overstayed your welcome. You can now use the door." I said."You're in no position to order me around," he said. "But I am, this is a health facility. I'm in charge, and I now inform you, you have overstayed your welcome." The doctor said from behind us.He turned slowly, walking out in a cold manner. "How did he even get in here in the first place?" The doctor asked, turning to face me. "I don
His Boss's Partner Her Past's Return
Almost immediately, the doctor arrived, he was checking Avia with his stethoscope, she was now calm and stabilized. It looked strange that she had begun to convulse, after being confirmed okay by the doctor."She's stabilized now." He let out, heading out, "please hold on, Doctor, what... What if the convulsion starts again?" I asked, my heart racing within me. "She won't, he replied dismissingly.I watched her intently, counting her breathe, hoping the convulsion wouldn't start again. She seemed to be sleeping sweetly, it however got strange and weird when she had been sleeping for the following hours.I was now concerned and had to call the doctor's attention. Her family were still there too. "She's in stable condition," he said, sure."But she's been sleeping for too long now." I asked, concerned, he went on, checking her pulse repeatedly, she still looked like she was asleep. At this point we could already sense everything wasn't okay."Doctor! What's the matter," I asked, frantic
His Boss's Partner Sad Reminisce.
"I can't forget the sweet mother she was to us. She showed us so much love and motherly care. Loosing her was a huge blow to all of us. So I was taken aback when my father seemed happy about her passing." He explained."At rare times, he tried to feign mourning her, which didn't work because he wasn't one to pretend. So it was always crystal clear what he thought or felt." He explained."The scariest part is that I walked in on him, on a phone call, he was talking about a body. I left almost immediately when I noticed he didn't see me walk in and listened on. I didn't want to draw any conclusions based on what I heard, but I feel he was talking about a human body.""My goodness! What human body??" I asked, frantic. "Any chances it could be Nadia's?" I asked, not letting him land. "It just might be. The voice he was speaking with on the phone appeared to be a woman's voice." He added."A woman's voice?" I exclaimed, "how were you close enough to hear this and not close enough for him t
His Boss's Partner Quit or Run?
"I apologize sincerely!" I let out, trying to avoid hitting more persons. My eyes met those of the voice I was hearing."Mark!" I exclaimed, "what are you doing here?" I asked, stretching out my hand for a handshake. "Oh, not something I'll want to talk about." He said, as we shook hands, his facial expression changing."You look sad all of a sudden, what's the matter?" I asked, as we slowly moved to a chair close by to sit. "There's no matter." He lied, pointing his nose. "Yeah, go on, you need to do exactly what you're doing now." I said, casting a goofy glance at him."Do what?" He asked, looking intently at me. "Point your nose. You know what happens to Pinocchio huh?" I joked, looking squarely at him. "Oh there you go! Goofy you!" He let out, laughing. "You look better, happy." I said, looking intently at him."Oh.... Yeah, who doesn't?" He said, nervously, adjusting his shirt which wasn't disarranged. "You look bothered, and you know you're not good at hiding things like these."
His Boss's Partner The Know
"You should ask someone else, I know nothing. You have no right whatsoever to hold me hostage, I'm as innocent as the word innocent. Let me go!" She let out.She looked modest, no one would imagine she could have such a wicked heart. She was also soft spoken,so it was very hard to tell she was a goofy lady, who enjoyed seeing others in pain.As we conversed, speaking about some painful scenarios, including the pain Nadia might have undergone, seeing what the autopsy was showing, she seemed to enjoy talking about the pain of others, and that was a very bad sign, a huge indicator that something was wrong somewhere."Of course we'll let you go, after you've answered all needed questions." The officer insisted. "I committed no crime." She said, "What happened to your friend? That's all we want to know." He asked. "She was suicidal." She let out, in an unreal manner."Suicidal? Is that all you knew about your friend?" He asked, we'll be taking you to the station now for further questioning
His Boss's Partner The Catch.
"My mind was beclouded by the fact that she was in pains, she was suffering from a terminal disease like I told you." I explained, looking queerly at him. "That's just a lead, we need to get to the root of the matter." He added, looking intently at me."I spoke with her bosses, those she worked for, and they said she was very fine the day before." I said, I could see through to the fact that he wasn't satisfied. "I know that Nadia was ill, but I don't know of any complaint from work. She enjoyed her work as much as I knew.Days had now passed and I hadn't seen Mark at the office. His father, now had two offices, his and theirs. I wanted to ask what the problem was but I didn't even know where to start from or how it'll come off to him, so I let it slide.I received a call from a strange number. I was glad and sure it might be Mark, "Hello, May dear, how are you doing?" The voice asked. "I-I am okay, who's on the phone please?""This is Nati, I know you don't know me but I really need t
His Boss's Partner Silent Screams.
"Can you kindly let me know why you are in my office?" He asked, I noticed his shirt looked like it was hurriedly arranged, and she looked like she was drawn down from a mountain, just when she was close to it's peak."I would love to speak with you and your brother." I let out, impressed at myself at how easily I was able to cook up something."Hmmm... That's huge, I hope no problems?" He asked, his eyebrows raised, as he adjusted his shirt better. "Not at all. Just family business. I'll want to be speaking with the both of you, alone." I said, with emphasis on the word 'alone', throwing disgusting glances at her."Alright. Honey would you please excuse us for the moment?" He said to her, I watched satisfyingly as she pushed herself out of the office. She didn't want to go, but she had no choice."The floor is yours now, so please go on. I'll send a staff to get my brother, right away." He said, "okay, even better. I'll be waiting." I added, taking a seat.In no time Mark was in the
