The question asked by Susan made Xander to realise that she remembers nothing about that night. He then takes the advantage of her ignorance to remain silence about the kiss that happened that night. The silence coming from her boss, Mr Xander, already confirming to her that something must have happened that night. She knows deep down, it won't be proper to pressure him to tell her anything. Right there, she regrets why she suggested the drink wine that night, knowing fully well that she was a light drinker. With the mindset of not knowing what her boss must be thinking of her to be like, she, shaking and fretting, "I don't know what happened the other night. But am apologizing for it, am not that kind of person too. I slightly recall some wild things." She says, intending to pull him out to say something.To cover up and save the situation, Mr Xander replies her "Oh, it's nothing much, just that you got a little drunk though I did my very best to stop you."She, in a defence state,
Immediately they bid farewell to themselves, John opens the Car door for Susan. When they left the premises of the hospital, riding home. John takes that opportunity before they get home to apologize to her for the long wait. Turning to see the expression on her face, he could tell she is lost in thought, but don't know what she is thinking, he decides to call her off to make her spill what's going on in her mind especially when she saw her boss.Deep down Susan was thinking verse between what to wear for the dinner tomorrow evening and the words she heard from her boss of assurance that nothing happened last night. While thinking of all things, a smile gradually increases on her face. Just then, he cuts her off."Hey Susan, I'm so sorry for making you wait for so long. Time just seemed to fly by and before I knew it, an hour had passed." He says, looking straight on the road, driving.Happily "It's okay John. I understand things can get hectic." She rises, her hand tapping him on th
Rolling from one end of the bed to the other side with his hand dragging the bedsheets and a rushing sweat from his head to his face, showing a great sign of struggle. He quickly rises from the bed with a shout saying "NO" he pants non stop, as the dream he had flashes through his mind. He was in the middle of the road where his parents had an accident which caused their death many years ago, he relived that night in his dream and just as the dream was about to end, he sees a flash of his worst regret in life, his aunty, the mother's elder sister which caused him to shout. Remembering all this tears, fills his eyes and rolling down. As he picks up his side bed towel to wipe off the sweat and tears, he turns on the bed light to check the time. It's just a few minutes past five in the morning. He still has time to sleep before waking up to attend church, as it's Sunday morning. Still afraid and traumatised, he picks up his phone to speak with his sister Ketty. The phone rings once with
The shock in Xander's face on hearing the question, Ketty asked him could tell that he feels something but wasn't sure if he wants to achieve what it was he feels. "Hmmmmm" Ketty exhales as he remained silent for a long, just to cut whatever she is thinking.With a stammering voice he quickly says to her, "Just trying to be friendly, moreover we are indebted to her for all her help." "So stop thinking about what you don't know, doctor." He says to her as he cuts the call to avoid anymore query. He says, slipping back into his bed, covering himself with a duvet. He stays awake for a while thinking of all that has happened with him and Susan in the past days and while thinking, he falls at sleep......…From one side of the bed to another, Susan rolls, finally rising to the left side of the bed. She looks at the clock at the side desk and it's past 8:30 pm. She is shocked at the time she woke up, unlike her, who is an early riser. She races up from her bed to grab her phone, which is p
At the get together dinnerAnd just some steps more to get to him, he replies to her "It's Su.. Susan and John." He stammers as he speaks. As Ketty sees Susan, she is lost in astonishment at her whole appearance, that she couldn't hold back her thoughts.With a very sweet voice she says "Come in, Hi Susan, you look absolutely stunning today. What is the secret?"Susan blushes unresistably, "Thank you, ketty. That's very sweet of you." She says as she walks into the house, directed towards the dining room.Still staring and amazed at her, she continues to comment on her appearance, "No, seriously. Your smile lights up the whole room, Susan." She mutters in amazement as she pulls the chair out for her to sit.Susan, still smiling, replies her back with her eyes looking down, "You're making me blush, Ketty.""Alright, since you can't take it one at a time, it completely." Ketty mutters as she praises Susan. "And those eyes of yours, they're like diamonds shining in the sun.–"Xander Laug
"A smart colour for a smart Monday morning." Xander puts out a smile as he arranges his blue long sleeve collar whilst walking towards the mirror. Standing in front of the mirror, in his elegant suit and tie, admiring his appearance. He feels confident and stylish in his outfit, as always. However, as he gazes at his reflection, a hint of a smirk forms on his lips as the words of Susan echoed in his head "One of the most handsome men in this part of our world." But then the smirk fades as he remembers the part of her statement that irked him, "But you know, I really don't like how stern and bossy you are at the office. It's so annoying."His expression becomes thoughtful as he stares at his reflection, contemplating how he is perceived by those around him. The aim was to maintain a professional demeanor in the workplace, but perhaps he had taken it too far, becoming too strict and intimidating.Still fixing his gaze on the mirror, he knows it was a harsh truth, but one that he can't i
Standing close to the entrance door of his office, an elderly lady with deep dark brown eyes. Her waist clinched in and her hips flared out in a way that was both sensual and elegant. Wearing a fitted dress that hugged every inch of her body, accentuating her every curve, smiling in a very mischievous way as she gradually moves towards his table. Aunty Tina, Xander's aunty. His late mother's elder sister, he lived with after the demise of his parents.His eyebrows furrow, giving him a wrinkled brow. His mouth, set in a tight line and his lips, pressed together firmly. His eyes are narrow and piercing. He feels a knot form in the pit of his stomach."Hello, Xander," Aunt Tina says, her voice soft and gentle. "It's been a long time–""That doesn't answer the question." He chimes in."Who let you in here?!"Aunt Tina simply smiles at him, her eyes crinkling at the corners. "Your secretary let me in, dear. She knows I'm here to see you. Now, don't be rude. Invite me to sit down atleast."X
As Xander replies Ava's question, curious to know what the problem is with Susan, Aunt Tina can't help but pause as she steps out of the office. Surprised and confused, thinking of what could be the reason a staff will burst into Xander's office in that manner. She presses her ear against the door, trying to eavesdrop on their conversation. She can't help but feed her curiosity as she is interested in what could be happening behind the closed doors and she can't resist the urge to listen in."She has no experience, no track record, and no qualifications. And yet, she's the one you turn to for advice on important company matters? That's not fair to the rest of us who have been working here for years!" Ava mutters bitterly.Xander leans back in his chair and steepling his fingers. "Ava, I understand your frustration. But I have my reasons for choosing Susan as my personal adviser.""And what reasons might those be?" Ava asks, crossing her arms over her chest abruptly with a stern look.
