“Hey Mason”
My body stifled as I recognized the voice, why do I have to run into this bitch today. I turned to see the face that had caused me so much pain, “You don't seem happy to see me”
“Why would I be happy to see the whore, I mistook for a wife?”
“Ouch! that stings” I could see the smirk on her face, she was relishing her moment of glory.
“Meet me at the car, Jade” I said as I got up to leave the restaurant but she kept blocking my path, she definitely knew how to get on my nerves, and for the first time in my life, the thought of hitting a woman crossed my mind.
“Beatrice get out” I know she wants the attention, but I'm not going to be her source of entertainment.
“You know why I’m here Mason”
“And you think this will make me give it to you”
“It's mine Mason”
I couldn't stand her presence any longer, so I pushed her out of the way and left the restaurant.
“What does she want?” Jade said as she and Mia got into the car.
“I don't know”
“Then what does she mean by it's mine”
“Shut it Jade!”
“Don't shout at me”
“Then be quiet” I texted Dave to meet me at the house.
I can't believe that bitch showed her face before me, the fact that she is not remorseful for what she did to me angers me. The ride to the house was a quiet one, thankfully, Jade didn't bother me.
“We are home, Sir.”
Dave was waiting for me when I got home “What does she want from you?”
“The company”
“She's joking, right? You have invested so much into that company, she can't be that delusional to think you would give it to her”
“Bro, either she's too dumb to understand that or something. You know now I understand why she wanted me to buy the company before her Dad died, she thought she would get it as alimony once we got divorced.”
“Fuck! I can't believe I fell for her tricks.”
“So what are you going to do now?”
“I don’t know, I'm too angry to think”
Ring ring..
“Ugh.. Why is my old man calling?”
“ Hello Dad”
“Why is there a scandal about you on the internet”
“Scandal? I don't know what you are talking about”
“There are tabloids about you emotionally abusing your ex wife and disgracing her publicly.”
“WHAT? That's not true”
“Then fix it. Such publicity can affect Goldberg's deal and you know how long it took us to get that deal. Get rid of it, sue who needs to be sued, or do I need to come down there and handle it myself?”
“There's no need for that, I will resolve the issue”
“This weekend there will be dinner at the house by 5 pm, come with the new secretary.” he hung up the phone before I could reject it.
“That did not sound good,” Dave said as the call ended
“Yeah, he said something about some tabloids.”
“Mason!” Jade yelled as she entered the study room with Mia, “Look at this” She gave me her phone to read an article.
The article stated that I made a scene at a restaurant when I found out Beatrice made a reservation at the same restaurant I was at and requested that she be sent out.
The article praised Beatrice for handling the situation in a mature way and also stated that she wouldn't be suing the restaurant for sending her out because they apologized for my egoistic behaviour.
“Damn it!”
“What's going on?” Dave collected the phone from Me and went through the article. “Egoistic Behavior? What are they talking about?”
“You need to calm down, this is what she wants” Jade tried to calm the situation.
“So what are you going to do man? The comments under the article are outrageous”
“I don't think He should do anything, she's trying to gain public pity and if He reacts now, she has gotten his attention.”
“Jade is right. For now I will stay mute, and make my decision after seeing Dad”
“Has He seen this?” Jade asked
“Yes” I turned to see Mia looking at me with pity on her face and I hated that she looked at me that way, “Miss Austin, Saturday you will be accompanying me to my parent's house for dinner, Thomas will pick you up by 5 pm. You can leave now.”
“Jade, I would need you to pick an outfit for her” I gave my card to Jade and they left .
“Why does your dad want to meet with the secretary?”
“I don’t know, you know He still interferes with the management of the company. I hope she survives the dinner.”
My phone rang, I checked the caller ID to see the number wasn't registered so I ignored it.
“ Why are you not picking?”
“The number is not registered probably a spam call”
The phone chimes this time, I picked the phone to check the message
Do you like my present?
PICK THE FUCKING CALL
I didn't need to think much to know who sent it, and the number called again. I picked up the call and put it on loudspeaker.
“I see you blocked my number” her voice angered me. I could sense the mischievous smile on her face as she talked to me.
“Beatrice you need to try harder to get a reaction from me” she laughed at the other end of the call
“I guess the saying is right, near-death experiences change people. “Don't act tough with me Mason, it's me your first love. Give me what I want or I will take it forcefully”
“Take it forcefully? You are forgetting something, when I bought that company there was a transfer of ownership. It no longer belongs to your dad, using alimony as an excuse to collect it from me won't work.”
“Oh Mason, you definitely know how to run those cute lips of yours, Mama misses them. Well, since we are reminding each other of things we have forgotten, let me jog your memory a little. I was the reason you bought my dad's company, He sold it to you because of me.”
I couldn’t help but laugh at her foolishness, “I wonder how you want to run the company with that dumb brain of yours.”
“No businessman will sell his legacy because of his child, especially not a dumb one. Yes, You suggested it to me but your dad sold it to me because He knew it would be safe in my care. You see my love, you were only a means to an end.”
“Mason, I will make your life hell” she yelled and cut the call.
“Yo! Man that was some intense call there” Dave said.
“I need you to hire someone to tail her, I don't want anything stopping our current deal.”
“Ok. But how are you going to control the whole issue?”
“Leave that to me.”

“Do you want a red lipstick or a nude lipstick?”“Nude” “Red it is” Oliva made final touches to my makeup, “Zoe, your phone is ringing”I reached for my phone to check the caller's ID “ It's Thomas, he is outside”. I hurriedly wore my shoes, took my purse and coat, and left the house.Thomas was standing beside the car when I got outside, “You look beautiful Miss Mia.”“Thank you, Thomas.”The drive to the house made me nauseous and I felt uneasy about the dinner. The scenery of my first time at my boss's house kept playing in my head, the thought of it sent chills down my spine, I just hope I do not do something stupid today. We finally arrived at Gerald's house and I must say, they have impeccable taste when it comes to houses.I took in a deep breath as I pressed the doorbell and waited for someone to open the door.

The cold hit me as I stepped outside, I forgot to take my coat along with me and the cold night breeze was penetrating my skin. I wanted to stay in the house with Jade, but I have a new job and I have to do this if I want to keep my other job. I followed the direction Jade gave to me, it was a bit confusing but I found my way. I sighted the gate to the garden and quickened my steps. Make sure he's okay and leave. As I stepped into the garden I saw Mason sitting on a bench in the garden, his head was down, so he did not notice me walking towards him. “Sir” he raised his head in my direction “How did you find me?” “Jade said I will find you here” “What do you want?” “You left the room angry, I wanted to check on you before I leave.” He seemed more angry than his usual self, maybe his dad went too far bringing up his marriage. “Do you mind if I join you?” He didn't say anything, his attention was more on the bottle of liquor in his hands. I took his silence as an invitation to

“Hey, Mr. Nelson from the Finance department said I should give this to you. These are the files for last month's tax audit.”“Ok.” I took the document and placed it where the other documents sent to Mr. Mason were kept and went back to writing reports for the last meetings I attended. Mason has been away on a work trip for two weeks. I got an email from him the day after the dinner stating that he was traveling to Australia for an important meeting and that I would resume work at the office the following week. He has been communicating with me via email and he hasn't said anything about the kiss, only work-related stuff. I sort of feel relieved that he doesn't want to talk about it. I'm not ready to talk about what happened that night and it's good we are on the same page.It was a mistake, nothing more.Resuming work at the office has been so stressful.

The weather in New York is so annoying, this minute the sun is shining, the next minute it is raining heavily. I'm just thankful that I was able to get a ride home from the nerdy guy in my department. I don't remember his name and I don't think it is the right time to ask for his name.“Thank you for the ride, I'm so grateful”“You are welcome. See you at work tomorrow, bye.”I thanked him once more as I got out of the car, and raced to the house. It is raining heavily and I don't want to get myself wet.Quickly opening the door as the sound of the thunder grew louder, I walked into the house and noticed it was messier than usual.What the hell?I picked up the scattered clothes on the floor when I heard Derek’s voice "Who is he?” Derek asked as He walked down the stairs. “ Who?” “The guy I saw you coming out of his car.”“That's my colleague at work, he helped me with a ride home because of the rain”“He helped me with a ride,” he said in a mocking tone. “Didn’t we have an agre

Knock knock I could feel my heart racing as I stood in front of the door, “ You can come in” I heard a male voice say from the other side of the door. “Good morning sir,” I said as I walked into the office, “I’m Mia, the new secretary”“Oh the new secretary. You can sit down,” he said with a smile. Not only do I get to work in Zeus Enterprises, one of the biggest companies in the city, but I also get a handsome boss as a topping. “ I'm Dave the head manager” “ I know you were informed that you will be resuming work as my secretary but there have been some changes”Oh no I can't go through another rejection. “you won't be working for me, you will be working for the CEO”I sat there in shock, trying to process what I just heard. Did I just get promoted on the first day of work? Universe I forgive you for the rejections in the past, you made up for it big time.“ Miss Mia, are you listening?” “ Yes sir” “ Would you still take the job?” Hell yeah, I would be crazy if I rejected
