Charles drove slowly down the road, he stopped at interval at the sign of the traffic light while he wished for the days to sweep by quickly so it would be Melanie’s twenty fifth birthday and her inheritance would be handed over to her so he can finally have them all, he called it a reward for all this years of putting up with her, he just couldn’t wait for that day to come anymore but it was only few days away.
His phone started ringing, she slotted the AirPod into his ear in other to pick the call, it was Rose.
She was in her apartment, relaxing with a cup of coffee on her table when she recalled that the inheritance they have all been waiting patiently for would finally arrive, she picked up her phone to call Charles.
“How are you doing Rose? It’s unusual to have you calling this early” he said with his eyes steady on the road.
Rose shrugged “I guess I am less important for you to call on a beautiful morning like this, unlike your numerous girlfrie
Charles couldn’t help mumbling to himself while he drove down the parking lot in his company, he wore a long face thinking deeply about Rose’s call which he found totally annoying.“She has no right to call me or ask of the inheritance, I give her what I deem fit and secondly, she doesn’t own me, it’s my life, I am Melanie’s husband and I can decide to trick her into transferring everything in my name and that would be the pay for all the years I kept her under my roof, all the years I fed and clothed her, I never wanted to marry her in the first, like… who wants to marry someone who cheated on you with your friend cause she has issues with her memory, Rose should better not get on my toes else she would be so sorry for herself” he gritted in anger.He had finally parked his car and alighted adjusting his jacket, he looked pretty smart in his black suit, blue shirt and a pair of black trousers and shoes, she shut the dri
Florence arrived few minutes later with a mug of coffee, she moved closer to Charles’s table and dropped the mug turning to leave when Charles grabbed her hand. She was surprised “is their a problem sir?” She looked worried. Charles laughed mockingly “come on Florence, enough of the drama already, I know you really want to say something about the other day, I know you still want more, I saw it in your eyes that day, you loved and enjoyed every bit if it” he stood up. Florence looked dumbfounded, lost in her own confusion as she couldn’t understand a single word of what Charles was talking about, she tried to get her hand off his grip but Charles held too tight, he stood quite close to her and this made her very uncomfortable. She was someone’s fiancée and it would be a huge mistake if her man walks in and finds her at a close range with another man especially if it’s her boss though she knew it wasn’t possible for her boyfriend to walk into Charles of
Few hours later…It was free period at the huge fabric production company where Charles and Florence worked.This was a time when workers and laborers were free to go have their lunch and get back to work in few minutes though each group of employees had in difference in a time space allowed for freedom during work.Florence sat with her hands supporting her cheeks, they had turned puce and looked faintly pale, the thoughts of Mr Charles attitude at the office was getting her even more worried with each second that swept by, though she was expecting a sack letter at any moment since she had the guts to raise her hand on him, she was also sacred that she might equally loose her relationship to this whole madness. It is true that Mr Charles is handsome and good looking, infact every woman both old and young admires him a lot in the company, few weeks back she had over heard few junior workers whispering in the bathroom about wanting to have a on
“I have got to go use the restroom, I would be right back” she walked away before Maggie could say another word.Maggie sighed, she looked away reluctantly and there came Mr Charles walking out of his office with his suitcase in his hand.She stood up and bowed in greeting.“Where is Florence?” He asked.“She went to the restroom” Maggie answered innocently.“I’m going home, I’m not feeling too well, so I would see you all tomorrow, make sure you tell her that” he walked away.Maggie shrugged “something weird is really going on around here and Florence is definitely telling me what it is.”Florence got to the rest room and sat on the toilet seat, she knew she wasn’t coming out at any moment, she just wanted to excuse herself from Maggie and perhaps think about herself and everything going on at that moment, secondly she was afraid of telling Maggie what was
Florence still sitting on the toilet bowel in the enclosed door bowed her head in discomfort mumbling over the recent behavior of Mr Charles and how horrible it would be for her to start telling Maggie about it who might end up thinking that she is crazy for calling their boss a liar, she already did enough by hitting him, talking to other staffs about it might end up getting her even into more trouble cause no one would surely take sides with her, after all what lady in her right senses wouldn’t want to have something to do with the boss who is rich and possibly guarantee her a promotion? Well Florence is one lady who would never fall for anything material cause she loved her relationship more than any other thing in the world.She have been dating her boyfriend for the past two years after she had a terrible heartbreak from her ex who broke up with her few days to her wedding for no reasonable reason, she could recall how embarrassed and ashamed she was of herself dur
Melanie had Brenda eat lunch and escorted her to her room to rest, in few minutes the little girl was fast asleep.She crept out of the room looking a little worried, she went straight to her matrimonial room which she had moved out of leaving it all to Charles, ever since she notice she was getting well, she knew it was wise to secure some privacy for herself.Quickly she unlocked the door to the room and got in closing the door behind, she took a deep breath, her eyes searching desperately around the room not like she had a particular thing she was looking for but she felt the need to look for something.Slowly she started searching, from drawer to drawer, down to the wardrobe when she suddenly stumbled upon a blue file with a red ribbon on it, she picked it up at once and moved over to the bed where she sat, quickly she opened it and took glances from pages to pages, this were more like documents to different properties, she rubbed her eyes over and over agai
Charles turned to her and gasped “and why are you standing there? Won’t I eat? What is wrong with you?” He yelled in rage. The thought of what happened in the office was still eating him up especially for the fact that his employee like he loves to call the staffs there raised her hand on him.Well the company actually does not belong to him, infact it has a manager and other people who are above him but because he is aware that the company is one of Melanie’s inheritance, he was sure that soon all legal rights of ownership would state that it belongs to him.“I’m sorry…” Melanie said looking very frightened.She hurried off to the kitchen and started dishing out his lunch while Charles relaxed on the couch with his suitcase and jacket lying carelessly on the floor, she looked like the shadow of himself thinking of the best way to handle Florence, he had the right to fire her since she was working directly under h
Melanie could feel hot sweats dripping from her neck, her hands slightly shook as she made sure she was careful not to make any noise that would attract either Charles or Rose, she wanted to make sure that no of them gets to know that she was eavesdropping to their conversation else they might be forced to suspect that something is going on with her, she leaned even more closer gathering the edge of her dress while she placed her other hand over her mouth covering it properly in other not to make any noise out of shock cause the things she was hearing at that moment was making her legs freeze with fear, she just couldn’t believe that both Charles and Rose were this evil.Charles paced the room in aggression looking terribly uncomfortable with Rose’s constant yelling, she looked very upset and didn’t look like she was ready to stop at any minute, her face looked deeply puce and her eyes covered in rage, her hands vibrates as she spoke in anger.“
