"WHuuuu, that was close. ThankGod I was just in time."Ava talks to herself as she closes on a distance to her office door. She calmly pushes the door, then slamms it behind her, the moment she stepped in. Exhaling and inhaling breathes of relief. Her hands still cleched to the door handle. She is glad, she got to the office before her annoying boss, despite her lateness.She flicks her hand bag to the desk as she says her usual short prayers before any other work routine. Patting her head gently, she pulls the seat to her ass. "Mmmmm. WHuuuu," she let out her breathe when she perceives the freshly brewed coffee, about to take a sip, her phone beeps.Just then, she realises that her data connection has been active since last night and she had slept off without turning it off. "Ugh! Why now? Who is this, that doesn't care about my sanity?" In curiosity, she picks up her phone and behold, a message from none other than Mr Xander, her boss. She hesitates for a moment before finally openin
"Offcourse, dinner date." Xander responds with his eyes all sterned. "Any problems?""Well... Not really a problem... but in my own opinion, I think we'll have to visit the saloon to have you cleaned up and later check into an exquisite suite store for a new pair of suite. Yes, that will be good to go.""Really? All this–""Yes boss." Mr Dum adds, smiling. "You're a public figure and can't afford looking all sweaty sticky and bushy for his first dinner date.""I don't see what" –xander rubs his hand over his stubble– "the big deal is.""You're right boss, it isn't really a big deal at all but that's the vibe. Except, my opinion doesn't count on this." Mr Dum fixes his eyes in the air avoiding his bosses eye contact"Okay you see that right there, is a NO! NO! emotional blackmail and I'm definitely not playing that game." Xander smiles at Mr Dum, winging his fingers."Hahahaha! Hahahaha!" They bursts in laugh, hopping into the car as Mr Dum drives off. Walking into the saloon, he is g
Seeing the sad look on Xander's face the moment she talked about mom's food, she smirks, "I"m so sorry I didn't mean for it to come out that way.""No... It's fine. I'm good now, atleast I've lived fifteen years of my life as an independent young man. What more could break me?"Susan chuckles in surprise. "Wow...fifiten years all by yourself, that must have being a really difficult time for you out there alone." "You don't wanna know about it." He giggles and roll his eyes. " But that's all past tense now.""Yeah... Cheers to the present and a better future." They both toast their glass tumbler cups of soft drinks in the air with beams of excitement.Few minutes later...Still drinking, Xander finds himself completely captivated by Susan that as he glances at his wrist watch, he couldn't believe how much he enjoyed her company and her sparkling conversation, surprised that they had already spent hours and it's looks like they are just getting started. "It's getting late, I guess you
As Susan pours the last of the red wine into her glass cup. She feels a sense of nervousness and excitement wash over her. " Cheers to life and more." Susan utters loudly, clapping both cups.While they went on drinking, Xander can't help but notice the way Susan's face lit up with pleasure. She closes her eyes and takes a sip, savoring the taste. Xander watchs as she let out a contented sigh, and he knows that she was as impressed as he is. " Mmmm, this taste good." She mutters so intentional "Exactly! That feeling over there,You read my mind, I must say.""So if you weren't working at the EMPIRE, what would you be doing?" Xander asks whilst his eyes turned to his phone."Hmmm, what I will be doing?" She ponders for a while glancing at the ceiling fans"I will be working else where, or probably still be looking for a job to raise capitals as time goes on for other stable income. Yes that's what I will be doing." He nods his head with a smile. "Independent woman, I see.""Yeah... Th
"Mmmm, Ouch!" Susan wakes up with a pounding headache and intense feel of hunger in her stomach but her memories are hazy and fragmented. All she remembers is that, her boss Mr Xander had offered to drop her off at her apartment and when he did, she insisted that he comes in and they both drank red wine untill she had an hangover. "Ooh No! What have I done this time." She knows that it couldn't have been good since she is loose-liped when ever she gets tipsy.As she struggles to remember what happened, she reaches for her phone to call John. Just then,she hears a light knock on the door. To her surprise, she opens the door to see John standing outside. He peeked his head, giving a flashy peerly white smile as always. "Surprise!" He spreads his arms for a warm hugShe gasps in shock to see john. Just as if he always had a telescope somewhere pointed to the back of her head, seeing that he always showed up at the right time. "Ooh... Thank God. You're here, just right ontime. I was just
After much murmuring and hesitation, she strolls sluggishly towards her phone and it stops bustling. "ThankGod. Finally!...But you know I wasn't going to answer that either ways right?" She smiles with beams of relief."I guess, you never seeze to amaze me then." John shakes his head with light Smiles. "That reminds me, it's Saturday!""Saturday...So–""So it's a time to cool off from work stress and really unwind not getting drunk and embarrassed all over your boss.""Hahahaha, hahahaha." Hey both bursts in laugh.Her smiles and laughs only lasted for some seconds even as John is still lost in laugh. Her mind races back to last night, hearing John tease her with the word UNWIND.She rubs her left eye and adds, "Really? You really had to use that punch line, now."John freezes his eyebrows up, gulping down a jolt of saliva in slow pace at Susan's smirks. Seeing the sad look on Susan's face, he walks closer and adds, "Hey.. c'mon Susi girl. I was only joking. I didn't mean for it to com
"Alright, don't worry. I'll take you to the car." He says as he gently lifts her up carefully carrying her out of the house into the car.Susan been in pain after sitting down inside the car with the help of John says to him. " Thank you, and I'm sorry to ruin our beach day." John while driving turns his head side ways stealing a glance at her realises her facial expressions as it tells both of her pain and guilty that she is the reason why they aren't going to the beach again. To console her, he puts his right hand on her shoulder. Using the other hand to drive, he says to her... "Don't be sorry, Susi. Your health is the most important thing. We'll get you to a doctor and then we'll go to the beach, some other time and have a great time."With sincerity in her voice she looks at him saying " You're always so caring, John. Thank you."He replies her fastingly focusing more on where they were headed as he says "Anytime, Susan. Let's go get you some help." Just immediately after that,
Still shocked, she asks Ketty, " Am sorry I can't really answer that question, as it's not in my place to disclose to anyone such information, except I know who is asking and the reason for the question," Still observing the leg, Dr Ketty, on hearing her reply, was happy that such persons still exist in this world. For a moment she raises her head up to see Susan face and to clear her out on the misconception but first ketty started by commending her on how she refused to answer the questions, still smiling she says " you are rare not anyone will think before answering. Any ways like I said earlier, my name is Dr. Ketty Xander, my twin brother's name is.–" "Mark Xander CEO of EMPIRE." Susan spills out, cutting Ketty off, as she trembles, taking her eyes up to closely and intentionally look once again at the doctor. She senses this familiar look. She quietly mutters, "You are the lady that was rescued from the kidnappers." With her eyes shining out.Ketty happily exclaims, "That's cu
