""What's your name?"" She asked.
""It's Kelvin ma'am."" He replied.
She sighed and walked inside her room.
"Why can't father just leave me alone? What do I need a personal assistant for?" She frowned.
Kelvin arched her brow, she might not need a personal assistant but he needed the job and the money.
She walked to her study. Kelvin stood rooted to the spot he stood on. He looked around feeling uneasy.
She came back with a pile of manila folders in her hands.
"Hey, come take these." She said.
He rushed to her and took the files from her.
""You should learn how to respond to me very fast and move fast too. I hate slow things and people."" She scoffed.
Kelvin nodded, "Yes ma'am." He gulped.
"We have a lot of things to do."" She walked briskly to the door. He hesitated.
She turned and looked at him, "Are you not coming along? Do not just stand there."" She frowned.
He blinked and walked to the door. She sighed and shook her head.
""You are impossible, man."" She thinned her lips and continued walking.
He followed her trying to catch up with her and at the same time hold the folders in place.
""We have a meeting to catch up with and I want us to be there in time. I hate being late."" She said.
'She sure does hate a lot of things.' He thought.
She increased her pace, he was surprised. How could a lady her height walk this fast?
He tried matching her pace and controlling the folders. In his haste to meet up with her, he tried running a little but accidentally slipped and the pile of folders fell on his head.
Anna turned and looked at him, she felt slightly embarrassed seeing him on the floor. She held her head, annoyed and irritated.
Kelvin groaned and stood up slowly. The files were scattered all over the floor. He blinked and sighed. The files were many and Anna was clearly in a hurry.
He looked at Anna who was staring at him silently but with fury in her eyes.
""I am so sorry ma'am. It was an accident.""
She bit her lips to prevent her from outburst.
She sighed and bent down to assist him in arranging the folders.
""Let's be quick about this. I don't have time to waste."" She said quietly.
He nodded, ""Yes ma'am.""
In no time, they were done arranging the folders and Kelvin quickly took them.
""Let us go."" Anna said.
They walked out of the mansion and went to the garage.
Anna's driver was already waiting for them.
""Come on, let us move at once."" She said to the driver.
He nodded and entered the driver's seat.
Anna got in. She signaled Kelvin to enter the car too.
""Come on Thomas, do not delay. It's important we get there on time."" She said.
He nodded, ""Yeah. I'll be as fast as I can."" He ignited the engine and soon they were out of the compound.
The silence in the car hung heavily. Kelvin shifted uneasily on his seat. He glanced at Anna who was busy typing away at her phone.
He exhaled and looked out of the window trying to clear his head.
The day hadn't even ended and he was already feeling stressed.
They soon arrived at the company Anna headed.
Anna alighted as soon as they arrived. Kelvin hastened to meet up with her. He gawked at how large the company was.
As soon as Anna got to the entrance, her secretary came to meet her.
""Ma'am, Mr. Hamilton is here already and he is waiting for you.""
She nodded, ""Alright.""
She turned to look Kelvin, ""Hurry up. We have an important visitor.""
He nodded.
Her secretary raised her brows in surprise as she saw Kelvin. He was definitely the most handsome face she had beheld. She bent her reddened face when Kelvin passed her to catch up with Anna.
When they got to the entrance of the conference room, Anna faced Kelvin.
""Please try to be in your best form. Mr. Hamilton is a very important stakeholder in my company and I do not wanna lose him, you hear me?""
""Yes ma'am."" He nodded.
They entered the conference room.
""Miss. Anna, I've been waiting for you."" Mr. Hamilton said.
She smiled, ""I'm so sorry for keeping you waiting, it was unintentional. I hope you have not been waiting for too long?"" She asked.
He shook his head, ""Not for too long.""
""Okay, we can now start."" She said.
""Are we all complete?"" Anna asked her secretary.
""No ma'am. We have one person yet to arrive."" She replied.
She frowned, ""Why hasn't she arrived yet.""
""I have been trying to call her but she is not answering her phone.""
Just then the door opened and a lady walked in.
""I'm so sorry everyone, I'm sorry I am late."" She said casually and walked to her seat.
Kelvin's eyes popped out in surprise and shock.
Her eyes met with Kelvin's who immediately looked away.
She removed her sunglasses to look at him properly.
""What is he doing here?"" She looked at Anna.
He gulped and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
""What do you mean by that?"" Anna arched her brows.
She stood up, ""Why is he here? How is he here?"" She pointed at him.
Mr. Hamilton looked at her, ""Do you have a problem with him being here?""
She banged the table.
""He is not supposed to be here!"" She yelled.
Kelvin's heart raced, he could feel his hands trembling, his whole body was tensed.
Anna stood up, ""Miss. Evelyn Wilson, it is either you sit down or you get out of here!"'
Evelyn's face was red with rage, ""Anna you do not know who this guy is. He is definitely going to ruin everything about you!""
He blinked and opened his mouth to say something but no words came out.
Anna furrowed her brows, ""How do you know that?""
""Of course I know him. He once worked for my mother as a cleaner and stole her money and ran away."" She accused.
Everyone in the conference room gasped. Anna turned to look at him with surprise in her eyes.
Kelvin shook his head trying to defend himself.
""That is not true."" He said.
""He is even trying to say I am accusing him falsely. He is not only a thief but also a liar.""
Mr. Hamilton looked at him intently, ""Young man, is whatever she is saying true?""
Kelvin's heart stopped.
Kelvin's heart stopped. His face was already bathed in sweat. He tried to reply, but he was too shaky to do so. ""You see? He could not even say anything in his defense. He is definitely a thief and a cheat!"" Evelyn said with triumph in her eyes. He shook his head, ""No, I promise you all. I am not a thief. I can not steal anything from anyone. I am saying the truth."" He said shakily. There were some doubts in Anna's eyes. ""Why would she accuse you of such a crime if you did not do as she says you have done."" She raised her brows. Kelvin put his hands together, ""Please ma'am, you have to believe me. None of what she is saying is true."" He pleaded. Evelyn rolled her eyes, ""So do you think I will just accuse you of such a thing?"" She scoffed. Anna sighed and held her head. This was his first day at work, and she was already hearing bad reports about him. ""You should tell him to leave Anna, he will do you no good
Today was a very bad day for Anna, she just lost one of the best stakeholders she had in her company and to think it was all because of one person! She got home and stormed to her room angrily. She was so heart broken and sad. She slumped on her bed as soon as she got to her room. Tears welled up in her eyes. ""Evelyn was right, he is bad luck. Why did Dad bring such a guy to me?"' She sighed and wiped her eyes. ""I am better off without a personal assistant. I can do things by myself."" She said and closed her eyes. Kelvin had arrived home. Nobody was at home, Alexander had taken Jacky to his house. He sighed and opened the door and went inside. He slumped on a couch, he was feeling helpless. ""Everything was going just fine."" He whispered. ""Why was Evelyn there? Why did she have to come there? I have lost another job because of her."" His voice was choked. He sniffed and wiped his eyes.
Anna was in a bad mood throughout that day. She was still bitter over losing Mister Hamilton as one of her stakeholders. There was a knock on her door, she frowned and got down from her bed. She went to the door and opened it. She saw a maid outside the door. ""Ma'am, it is time for lunch."" She said. Anna frowned, ""I do not want to eat. I am not hungry."" ""But, ma'am, your mother told me to call you down for lunch. She wants you to be present."" ""Did you not hear me?"" She said tiredly, ""I am tired."" She frowned and walked back to her bed. The maid closed the door and left. A few minutes later, there was another knock on the door. ""Who is it?"" She groaned. ""Anna dear, are you in?"" A voice came from outside. She got down from bed and went to the door. Her mother was outside. ""Mom? What are you doing here?"" She asked. ""Anna dear, what is wrong? Why will you not come
Kelvin could neither cry nor laugh. He was just numb. Alexander felt sorry for him, ""I think you both should come and stay with me. It is better than staying in the streets moping."" He sighed. ""Alexander, how did it get to this?"" He sniffed, ""Where do I go from here?"" He palmed his face and began to sob. ""Crying will not solve anything, Kelvin, you have to stand up and think about the way forward."" Alexander told him. Kelvin removed his hands from his face, ""What else am I supposed to think? I have nothing in my head."" He heaved. ""We can only think of something when you are much calmer. Right now is not the time you should think."" he said calmly. ""I can not think of anything right now. I do not have any ideas."" He sniffed. ""Come on Kelvin, let us go to my house."" He sighed, ""At least I have paid for the next three months' rent."" He smiled a little. ""I am so sorry Alexander, you are already
Anna was surprised and shocked that Evelyn hung up on her. She thinned her lips trying to suppress her anger. ""After all that she did, she still hangs up on me?"" She banged the table, ""I did a bad thing. I blamed all my losses on the poor guy."" She held her head. ""Evelyn is the cause of everything. How could I not see that? Now he has lost his job because of me."" She palmed her face. ""I have to find him and apologize to him, no matter what."" She resolved. She dialed a number and the person at the other end picked it up instantly. ""Hello?"" ""Hello? Ma'am, how may I be of help to you?"" ""Hey Nelson, I need your help."" She said. ""Yes ma'am?"" ""Could you come over? I think it is better if I explain it to you in person."" She sighed. ""Okay ma'am, I am on my way."" She hung up. Some minutes later, the doorbell rang. Anna rushed with expectation to the door. ""Come
""Who is this personal assistant of yours?"" Katherine asked again. ""I do not know him. I just went into my room to see him. I asked him why he was there, and he said he had applied for a job."" Anna said. ""You mean father set up a job vacancy?"" Katherine arched her brows. ""I was surprised myself, but well, I could tell him to leave."" She sighed. ""But."" ""But what?"" She asked. ""How did he eventually leave then?"" Katherine asked. ""I fired him. It was all Evelyn's fault, she made me pour all my bitterness on the poor man."" She sighed. ""So he left as soon as he came."" Katherine nodded slowly. ""Yeah."" Anna replied. ""How come Ralph is angered over it?"" Katherine frowned. Anna creased her brows, ""I do not know why he is angry. It surprised me to know he knew that guy."" Katherine nodded, ""No problem then, do not just get into a fight with him, he i
""Why is he here? How did he find you? How did he know you were living here with me?"" He bombarded him with questions. ""I am as confused as you are. I honestly do not know how she found out."" He held his chest. ""I do not know why, but he seems odd. I do not like him."" Alexander frowned. ""He is gay."" Kelvin sighed. Alexander pushed his head backwards and raised his brows. ""That is the reason he wants you back!''" Alexander hit his palm. ""He says he will take me back and give me a job again."" Kelvin thinned his lips. ""You are not probably not thinking about it, are you? He is gay Kelvin, gay!"" He almost yelled. ""I know that, but he is willing to give me a job again."" His eyes brightened. ""You are not serious Kelvin."" Alexander shook his head slowly and folded his arms. ""But Alexander, I really need this job, this might result in good pay."" Kelvin tried reasoning with him.
Kelvin stood rooted to the ground, he looked confused. She walked to him and held his hand, ""It is good to see you again Michael."" She said softly. Kelvin shook his head, ""I am not who you think I am. I am not Michael."" He said. She frowned, ""Are you trying to deny your identity now?"" She raised her nose in pretended annoyance. He frowned deeply, ""I am not denying anything. I am not Michael, my name is Kelvin."" He released his hand from hers. ""You are not Michael?"" She blinked. ""I am not Michael, I do not know who you are talking about."" He sighed. ""Oh, I am sorry, I did not realize it."" She apologized. He nodded, ""It is okay, you just mistook me for someone else."" He said calmly and continued his walk down the street. A few minutes later, he sensed something following him. He tried shoving it off his mind. He continued his walk home but noticed whatever or whoever was follo
