The day was gradually getting dark, it was obvious as Charles could see cars driving into the garage, he could understand clearly that these were tenants who lived in different apartments in the building, he took a glance at his wrist watch and realized that he needed to get home as soon as possible, he scratch his head thinking of how he was going to sack Florence just like that, he scoffed in disbelief wondering why it had to be the dismissal of Florence from the company without no vital reason, he hissed over the thought, he knew he had no choice other than to do what Rose had requested else she would ensure he doesn't get his hands on the documents. He equally looked exhausted and hungry, he yawned stretching his hands as he lifted them both above his head.He stood there for a while staring at nothing in particular, alot of things kept going through his head, at a point he wished he could go after her but he was afraid of what her reaction might be, secondly he wouldn't want her
If only the time could go faster, if only this day never came, if only they did not bump into Rose in the mall, none of these would have happened, her life wouldn't have turned out this way, her relationship would still be as strong as ever and her wedding plans wouldn't have been cancelled neither would Michael break off the engagement, she blamed her self over and over again for persisting on going to shop for her wedding dress and his suit that day,maybe she should have waited a little more, if she had listened to Michael's pleads of leaving the shopping till the next day none of these would have occurred,she didn't know 9f she could continue blaming herself or blame Rose or maybe Michael who already believes that she's a whore, she felt totally disgusted about herself, for a second she wished the ground could open and swallow her, the sound of her phone ringing and vibrating at the same time was beginning to irritate her horribly, she just wished she could fling the phone out thro
Charles drove into the company's compound packing his car at the garage, he had left work earlier that day and didn't realize that he would be forced to return back there before the end of the day, he remained in the car taking a deep sigh while he thought of a way to present this bad news to Florence, he finally scoffed deciding to put it in whichever way, what matters most is that he does exactly what Rose wants if that would make her happy, he got down from his car,got into the company building taking an elevator straight up to his office, he met few of his staffs whom were still at work and couldn't deny the fact that they were surprised to see their boss back to work at such hour, that was totally unlike him but they did not dare to question him, it is true that the company doesn't belong to him but the fact still remains that he is the son inlaw to the former ceo of the company and sooner or later, he would be declared the ceo, after all they all knew that his wife was sick who
It was almost 7:00pm, most of the staffs could be seen hurrying out of the company, some drove off in their cars while the rest who didn't have a car line Florence found a cab which drove them home.Her heart was filled with hatred for both parties, she wished someone could wake her up from this horrible dream, she wished everything was just a nightmare, how was she to believe that she have lost both her job and relationship the same day, it was too much of a pain to swallow down her throat, her hands kept shivering while she walked with her bag on her shoulder and a box containing her office belongings in her hands, she held it firmly as her mind was clouded with thoughts, she felt like one who was loosing her mind, the pain was making her feel like she was crazy, she stepped out of building, gently she turned around taking a long stare at the building, she turned away shaking her head, right before her everything seemed to be crumbling, in the sack letter which Charles had given her
She wiped the tears running down to her jaw sniffing continually "their is no need apologizing to me Mr Charles, the deed have already been done, can I go now?" She tried to walk away.Charles held her back at once.Florence gasped in shock "what the hell is the meaning of this?" She shook his hand off hers "you already fired me, why won't you let me go?""Florence please calm down, I know you're upset" he said sadly.She scoffed arching her brow while she dropped the box on the floor "why won't I be upset Charles, give me one good reason why I won't be upset, both of you have finally succeeded, you have done everything horrible to me, can't you go back to her and celebrate your victory over a harmless woman?""Now this is where I am confused" he said looking baffled while spreading both of his hands apart "this is where I am confused, why would you say that I and Rose have finally succeeded in ruining your life, I only sacked you and this has nothing to do with Rose" he explained."O
It was quiet windy outside, Charles drove with his mind far off thinking deeply about what he plans to achieve by tomorrow, he shook his head in silence wondering if Rose thought he was really that daft to wait patiently for her to get the documents on Monday, he just knew that she couldn’t be trusted therefore he needed to act really fast before she does so before him, she just needed to prove to her that he doesn’t need her and without her he can still get the properties besides what does she plan to tell the authorities if eventually she shows up with the original documents, he would only accuse her of theft or maybe forgery and would do everything within is power and beyond just to ensure that he rots in jail. He drove into the compound looking totally exhausted, Troy he have had a long day and all he needed at that moment was a warm bath, some good food and a goodnight sleep but unfortunately it wouldn’t go exactly like he wants since something had just come up and he needed to a
Charles lit on a cigarette, continually he puffed the smoke into the cold air polluting every fresh air that found its way into his quiet room while he deeply kept his brains busy thinking of what to do, being a failure and loosing totally to Rose was something he couldn’t imagine and he can’t afford to watch it happen to him, quickly he grabbed his from the desk where he had placed it and dialed a number “are you done with it?” He asked sounding impatient, she scoffed after a while shaking his head “listen carefully to me, you must and cannot disappoint me, it is very important that you deliver tomorrow, don’t worry I would triple your pay just make sure you are in my house as early as 6:00am, yes…yes….alright, Goodnight” he hanged up at once nodding his head, quickly he started dialing another number.Melanie who was watching and listening through the whole was totally confused, she wondered who he was talking to over the phone and why he sounded so eager “what exactly is this moron
She retired back to her room when she was done serving him and was sure he had gone to bed, she looked lost and at the same time confused, she buried her face in her hands thinking deeply about what she had seen earlier, she shook her head in disgust agreeing with herself that truly Charles was evil, now she understood why he was bent on womanizing and doesn’t seem ready to stop neither today or tomorrow, she scoffed in displeasure standing to her feet, she moved to the wall hitting hand hands on it over and over again, then she remembered that he had called the lawyer, she picked up her phone and switched it on knowing that he must be trying really hard to reach her after Charles had called him.“I have been trying to reach you Melanie, how are you doing?” He asked sounding very curious. She nodded “very well but I don’t think I can’t stand one more night living under the same roof with this man, I think I already have enough evidence to nail him, secondly I know he called you, I th
