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

Butterflies grew in her belly, Lau had a jovial demeanor and he was good looking too. He was irresistible."Take a break! Lau!" Ris said calmly, she was a bit envious now, but was good at hiding it. Nan on the other hand, pulled Lau to herself, pretending to play.Dita wasn't even about any of that, she admired how well they got along. She found Lau attractive and that was all there was to it.She knew she was too young for any kind of emotional entanglement. She had a strong resolve to be very studious and thus she often came tops in her class."What did you say your name was again?" A rude voice asked, from behind her. "My name is Dita, she let out."I only asked of your name. Why are you so nervous?" The rude voice had now become soft, Dita was used to hearing those phrases, as much as she hated hearing them, there was not much she could do."I'm Mr.Ri" he said, speaking on when she didn't give an answer to his question. He was a new teacher and strikingly hot! He was drop dead gor

"You shouldn't have gone through the stress." I said, looking sweetly at him. "It's no stress when it has to do with you my love." He said. We talked briefly, he then left the office to his as work was calling. Thompson was such a sweet and loving man. I blessed the day I met him in my heart.I arrived home after work, reminiscing on how beautiful the day had been, it was indeed a beautiful day and indeed a sweet one. I couldn't stop thinking about the sweet treatment Thane gave me. He seemed different from Mariano, I tried to convince myself of that. But you couldn't tell by the fact what these men were capable of, I thought to myself. They always seemed nice at first. I arrived at work the next day, to find we had a new recruit. "Goodness! She's so gorgeous!" I heard one of staff sat from behind me. For some weird reason, I felt a surge of envy rise within me.Nuka had just been recruited by the company, she was excited and sad at the same time. Excited at the fact that she'd mee

"Yeah, you shouldn't. You should just use the door. That's something I'll recommend you do now." I answered, I could see she was getting angry already. "Did you think bringing that up was necessary? And how did you even know about that? Are you watching me or something?" "I don't know why I'm the one you're asking these questions. You should he trying to explain to your fiance what was going on." I added, about to walk away, before stopping in my tracks. "Don't worry, I'm not anything like you, I didn't give him any details, although he begged that I give him details.""Next time, be more careful, the wall had ears and the air has eyes. That's just something for you to remember, if you would want to remember of course, not like I'm forcing you to." I added, "anything else I can help you with?" I asked, looking sternly at her. "Um.... Thank you." She said, as if forcing the words out of her mouth. "Thank you for the save. For... Not revealing every detail." She added."I'm curious t

His fiance made her way in, "what exactly is going on here?" She asked, looking at him irritated, "nothing. She's a top staff." He said, for lack of words and how to start explaining the fact that there was nothing going on. "Staff you say?" She questioned calmly, in almost a whisper.She came close to Mark, inches away from him, she whispered something in his ears, from the expression on her face and his, it wasn't good. "There's nothing going on between us. We're just colleagues. If there was something going on, I'll tell you to your face, you know me too well, right?" I said, looking squarely at her now. "By the way, you don't want us to get started on your time at the beach, yesterday." I let out. "What.... What are you talking about?" She stammered, "Time at the beach?" Mark let out. "What is she talking about?" He continued."I don't know what she's talking about, I have no idea." She lied, "Are you serious? You are supposed to know what I'm talking about, or should I just go

There's no point in thanking me! I'm going to be needing your help in no time! I said to myself as I watched him walk out of the door. I was hopeful about my wish on getting my revenge, because I knew if the odds were on my side there's a lot I can better work on in that direction.The day slowly came to an end as always, I was always excited when it was finally time to go home, I missed the cozy arms of my bed. This time however, I didn't want to go home, I was feeling nostalgic, I wanted to take a walk.I stayed close to a beautiful beach bar. The streets were always beautifully decorated and everything was so naturally alluring. I got home just in time to get prepared and head for the beach.I wasn't exactly going there to run along the beach, just a way of resting, but not in my bed this time, resting around nature this time. I lay on the warm mat I had seen, as I watched the oceans swirl back and forth, slapping against the white sand of it's own shores.I thought back to how bea

"She was my friend, so as you might have guessed rightly, I have a lot of information, even the ones you might be hiding. She told me everything before her passing. I'm letting you both in on this because I want to help you. But I'll be needing that help in return. I'll tell you when and why.""Your father, or let me say, the person you know as your father, he's not your real father." I let out, whispering into his ears. "Let this stay between you, the boss and I." I added, looking around the room before bringing my gaze back to him."You must be sick. That's not true!" He let out, screaming a whisper. "What do I gain by lieing to you? I'm just trying to save my face here, at least I'm not the one who is an accomplice to crime in anyway." I said, taking my focus back to the screen of my computer."I'm not sick at all. I'm just telling you the simple truth. What you choose to make of it is up to you. Let me continue. Please don't cut me off again, it's to your own detriment because the

Marianne's POV "Hallucinations? Why would I have hallucinations? I'm not mentally deranged or something." I added, "not only mentally deranged people experience it. Those who are going through a tough time emotionally might also experience that, if they're not careful." He explained."I don't think I'm having hallucinations. Issues? There's nothing that even has to be about it in the first place. I'm very fine." I defended again, refusing to accept something that was so clear. "Well, here, that's the picture. And don't ask me how I got that because you wouldn't want...""Wouldn't want to know?" He cut in, collecting the picture from my hand. "Wow." He mentioned, with suspense in his tone, as he looked on fearfully at the paper he held in his hand. "Wow?" I asked, "who's Wow?" I asked again. He had now slowly sat back in his seat.He suddenly, finally seemed to understand what I was going through. "Talk to me! Do you know him?" I let out, confused. "Yes, I do. But you must keep this a
His Boss's Partner Confused
Marianne's POV Sitting in my office, I felt a strange nudging to get up and head for the door. I didn't know why but I knew something might be going on. I was no more with Blake but I still felt a strong attachment to him.It was like I could almost tell when he was in danger. I had a strong nudging on my inside to scroll through his face profile. What I saw shattered me into tiny pieces. I was not completely over him I'll be a liar to say I was. Driya, the lady I knew he had been cheating on me with before the divorce, I was following her on all platforms. That was how obsessed I was with Blake. I noticed Driya had a sister too, Dranca.Maybe that would be the helping hand she had to tear down all I and Blake had built over the years. I stood at the door, pacing around it like I was chained to it by an invisible chain. I came across another name Ifti, quite a rare name.From the nature of the comment he left on the post, he was obviously angry at Driya's mother, Gifa and the entire
His Boss's Partner Taking What's Mine
Ifti's Point of View“Bastards! And you let them escape!” I stare at my men in anger. I squeeze my fists so tight my hands become hot. “Track them now!” I slide my phone from my pocket and I dial Imelia’s phone. I can hear the phone ringing but the stupid girl does not pick up. “God damn it!” Veins in my head shows boldly. “Track them!” I can feel my pulse rising, if I as much as set my eyes on them, I would kill that stupid Driya of a girl and the rest, I will make sure they grovelnon their knees and beg for death. My men run around looking like confused chickens too scared to disobey my command, their faces pale with fear, I throw a blind eye to it. Anything outside laying my hands on Driya has nothing to do with me at this moment. They know better than to fail me again.I pace to and fro in the living room, my mind racing with anger and betrayal, my brain cannot seem to contain a simple thought. How could they escape? How could Driya defy me like this? No one, absolutely no on
