          ""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

    "Kelvin," Anna called."Hm?" He flickered his eyes open, and sat up rubbing his eyes. He had cried himself to sleep. Anna sighed, and sat beside him, "I'm sorry, but we haven't gotten any response yet. The police haven't found anything yet, no trace of him," she shook her head. He felt the knot in his chest tighten, and he rested his head back on the wall, "Oh," he sniffed, and wipes his nose. "Are you okay?" She reached for his hand to hold him, but stopped, and drew her hand back. "Thank you ma'am. That's a whole lot, thank you so much. I appreciate what you're doing so far." Anna nodded, and looked away. "Hmm, Evelyn would know where he is right?" Her eyes widened, "Wait.. she is the reason all of this took place, we should give her name to the police!" Kelvin shook his head, "No ma'am, I think that would make matters worse. What ifs she does something to harm my brother? I don't want anything to happen to him, let's just hope the police find him naturally." "

    Kelvin had gone back to his neighborhood, his eyes were filled with tears. He met with the girl who had witnessed it, "How did he look like? What was he wearing? Which direction did he go?" She pointed the direction in which the hitman had taken, "He went that way. He was wearing a black overall I guess," she held her chin. He patted her head, "Thank you so much, I really appreciate this," he managed to smile, and went into the house to grab a few dollar bills he had. His phone rang, "What's up? Anything new?" He heard Anna's voice at the other end of the phone. He shook his head, "No ma'am, nothing yet," he sniffed. "Listen, come over to my place. We should be able to do something tangible from here." "Ma'am?" "No questions. Just come over, and be quick!" He nodded. "Did you hear me?" "Yes ma'am. Thank you so much, I really appreciate it," he bit his lips. "Yeah, I'm expecting you in the next forty five minutes okay?" She hung up. He looked at the phone, and

    He had a pistol in his hand, he pointed it at Tom's head, and fired. Tom froze in his tracks, as blood spilled out of his forehead. He staggered backwards. The masked guy came forward and took Jacky away from him, allowing him to fall to the ground freely. Evelyn placed her hands over her mouth, her heart pounding in her rib cage. A cold sweat broke out on her face, "Wh- who are you?" She gulped. He looked in her direction, and she flinched, when his fierce red eyes met hers. He didn't reply to her, he turned on his heels, and walked outside leaving Evelyn shaken.Her eyes moved to Tom's body, he was looking so bad, and she didn't know what to do. She bit her nails, her legs shaking like a leaf, unable to carry her weight anymore. She knew there was no way she could tell the police, because they had also committed a crime.She whimpered, and rushed to Tom's side, "What do I do? What do I do?" She gasped, her hands shaking terribly. "Take him to the hospital? What if th

    "Evelyn?! Hey let him go!" He yelled, forgetting he was in front of an office building. He unintentionally dropped the stack of files in his hands. Anna stopped, wondering what was going on at the moment. She took some steps forward, and she heard him yell again."I don't want to date you! Just please leave me alone, and let my brother go, you have a problem with me and not with him!" Anna squinted her eyes sensing trouble. She forgot about the meeting she was to hold, and walked towards him, standing before him. "Just let him go! What are your conditions?" His eyes widened. He was heaving heavily, and struggled to find his words. "Please Evelyn listen to.." the phone call ended.He looked at the phone in panic, "What the hell? What am I supposed to do?" He began to heave heavily, his eyes darting in his sockets. "What is the matter?" Anna asked softly.He leaned against the car, looking for his balance, "Ma'am.. I.. have to go. Permit me to leave please," he cl

    He wore a black overall, a black face mask, and a black hat. Everywhere was really quiet, since no one was really around. His sauntered to Kelvin's house, as he had been directed by Evelyn. He looked around one more time to see if anyone was watching. No one was, so he knocked on the door. Jacky ran to get the door, and saw him. "Uh.. may I help you sir?" He asked innocently. "Yes, actually I am a friend of your brother, Kelvin, I work where he does, and he asked me to come get something for him." "He did? Why didn't he tell me?" He scratched his head, "One minute, let me go call him." Before he could reach the phone, he grabbed his hand, and stuffed his mouth with a sedative soaked handkerchief. Jacky struggled to get out of his grip, but his little strength couldn't match the hitman's. The hitman tied his hands, feet, and his mouth, with a rope he had brought along. He carried him over his shoulder, looked around for the sign of any neighbor around, found non

    Ralph lit a cigarette, and sucked it in, his eyes getting dark, he puffed out smoke, and coughed. "What exactly does he want? Can't he just get over his beliefs?" He pouted vodka in a glass, and gulped it all down."I don't know what to do," he bowed his head, "I really do like him," he bit his lips. He rested back on his chair, thinking of what he'd do to just win Kelvin's heart."It's obvious he's straight. He definitely prefers women,' he clenched his fists. "Ugh!" He helped himself to another class, and sighed, gulping it all down. "If I can't get him, I see no reason why anyone else will," he gritted his teeth. His phone rang, and he growled, "Who is it?" He checked the caller's ID, it was Jeremy, his best friend. "Oh, good." He answered the call, "Sup bud?""...""Why? It's still morning time.""..." "Why are you being so difficult? I'll rather come when it's evening." "..." "Okay fine, fine, I'm on my way," he rolled his eyes, got dressed and left the

    He laughed nervously, and entered the car, "Thank you ma'am," he smiled, and glanced at her.She rolled her eyes, and started off the engine, "How are you so annoying?" She muttered under her breath, and drove out of the compound. Kelvin turned to look at her, he sighed, wondering why she always had a problem with me?"I'm glad you took me back ma'am. You were God sent.""Whatever, stop talking."He pursed his lips, and looked around, Beautiful car she's got."Ma'am.."She threw him an annoyed look, "What?""I.." he gulped, "wanted to compliment your car."She eyed him, "Tsk, I don't need your f**cking compliment! Now shut up!" Why was she yelling at him when she was literally the one who had called him back? He looked down at the files in his hands, and made a face. Hmph! "Who did you do that for?" "No one ma'am," he pouted.She sighed, "Okay, I'm sorry," she apologized.He turned to face her with a grin on his face, "Haha, you apologized! That's rare!" She took her ey

    Kelvin had arrived at Anna's house, like she has told him to do. He was careful not to disturb anybody as he didn't want problems anymore. He quickly rushed inside, and made his way to Anna's room. "Stop!" He heard a firm voice.He froze, wondering what he had done this time. He slowly turned around to see who had called him."Kelvin!" Katherine's eyes beamed, and she hugged him.He stiffened, 'Is she trying to put me in trouble?'He disengaged from the hug, "Ma'am.. I.. please excuse me," he bowed subtly. "Oh my God.. I.. didn't know you would be here. What made you come here?" She asked, grinning widely. Kelvin tried as much to avoid the physical contact Katherine was trying so hard to make with him. "I.. uh.. madam Anna called me here. I don't want to be late again," he explained. Katherine's face turned sour, "She called you here?" He nodded, "Yes ma'am, it's almost 8.00 AM, I can't be late or she'd be mad at me again," he added, hoping Katherine would let him go.

    Anna's eyes widened in surprise, ""Kelvin?"" "Yeah, Kelvin, do you have a problem with that?" She shrugged. She blinked in surprise, ""No, I do not have a problem, just that, he might be the Kelvin I am looking for."" Katherine blinked her eyes, ""Oh? Who is Kelvin?"" ""He was my personal assistant,"" she sighed. ""You had a personal assistant? Hey, that is not fair at all,"" she pouted. Anna sighed, ""Why not ask father for one?"' She rolled her eyes and sat down. "Never mind," Katherine held her head. ""Okay, I think you are done describing your dream guy?"" She shook her head, ""Of course not."" ""Ugh, what else? Why not just run to his front door and propose?"" She drawled. ""Would he agree? I do not think he would want that,"" Katherine pouted, "He is really beautiful, but he does not like me at all," she sighed. Anna shook her head, "Try again another day," she said softly.
