Meanwhile, Nichole was writing a handing over note that she would pass to whoever that will take over from her for the five days that she would be off, when she heard a knock on her door. Before she could ask them in, the door opened to reveal two women with cynical smiles. She furrowed her brows and maintained eye contact with them.“Hello, Mrs. Bailey,” Evelyn greeted, followed by Lorene. Then, Nichole gave them a cursory response.“Hi,” and continued with her work. “Mrs. Bailey, won't you offer us a seat?”“What about the seats in your offices? Have they suddenly gone bad?” The blunt, Nichole asked, and fixed her gaze on them. Then, the intruders exchanged glances and Lorene gave her a nod. She proceeded by making the purpose of their visit known.“Sorry, Mrs. Bailey, if we barged into your office. We just need you to give us Mr. Bailey's contact if you don't mind.”Then, Lorene, who felt like she had not hurt her enough, chipped in, “Yes. Especially now that you are happily marri
He got to his house and observed that there was no sign of activities for a few days. His car which his partner parked three days ago was dusty. He breathed heavily, pulled out his key and proceeded to open his front door. To his perturbation, his janitor was not around and the doors to all the rooms were wide open.“Ted.” He called out, and walked towards the backyard.“What?” He screamed when he saw the back door wide open. Now, he was torn between a rock and a hard place. Should he run to the backyard through the open door and check on Nichole's car, or run to his bedroom and check on his supposed woman?At the Bailey International ConglomeratesAfter Arthur left his wife at the hospital, he drove to Zoey's ward to check on her.“Welcome Mr. Bailey. I am pleased to see you,” She greeted with a voice that was as clear as a bell. Her husband who was sitting on the couch greeted as well before Arthur responded.“Good to see you. How are you today, Zoey?”“I am better today.”Now, her
He stood at the veranda of the backyard and searched for a clue to her disappearance. When he got none, he concluded, “The janitor must have aided her.” “I thought she would be happy that I tried to deliver her from slavery and give her a dignified life,” Then, he shrugged his shoulder, locked up the doors and returned to the underground.“Welcome back boss. How was your visit to the family house?”The facinorous Stephen ignored him and walked to the bar and picked a packet of cigarette, lit it and puffed out a smoke ring. He did that two times before he walked to a corner of the underground and took a seat. Now, the partner watched him staring into space. He sat back on his seat and relaxed while waiting for his next order. However, Stephen remembered that he had not given the janitor a call.'I hope he will not implicate me?'He thought and set out to give him a call. He turned on his phone and waited for it to booth. Then, he puffed a smoke ring again. Now, he saw the message he g
At Lorene's Apartment.She got off work and drove to a grocery store and hurried home to make a quick meal for his dream man. Thereafter, she took her bath, applied her cream and smelled fresh.(Grrr)Came the doorbell. She looked at her time, and it was 1:00 on the dot.“Wow. A very punctual man,” she muttered, and hurriedly walked to the door. Her strapless camisole bra upon her cotton linen bum shot made her look sexy and hotter. Now, she adjusted her cleavage to expose more before she opened the door. She was greeted by a handsome gentleman from the Bailey's family. The cologne scent emitting from his body was captivating. They locked eyes for a few seconds in silence before Stephen broke the hush.“Hi, I'm Mr. Bailey. I'm delighted to be privileged to know such a beautiful lady.”His voice wrapped up her body and she felt a tingling sensation on her nipples.“Come in” she said with a romantic smile.“Thank you.”The truth was that she did not really know who Arthur Bailey was or
At that point, all his right fingers had gone in and out of her in quick succession, and he kissed and sucked. Then, she began to unbutton his shirt after he had pulled off his jacket.“What do I expect?” She whispered as she unbuttoned his shirt.“Though spontaneous, I will make it adventurous, a memorable one.”She smiled, and she pulled off his shirt, and went into action. Lorene discovered that she was a beginner in sex experience when compared to the sampler before her. She panted and sweated after they climaxed.“I have never had it like this before.”She pointed out. Stephen, who was lying beside her on the couch, gave her a peck and asked, Peck, Peck. “Did I live up to my promise?”She turned her head towards his direction and said, “Yes, dear. You did.”(Kiss, Kiss)They had their lunch and continued their love escapades until the next morning. They dressed up and Lorene gave him a ride out.(Kiss, kiss)“I love you, my Queen.”“I love you too. See you later.”She went to wor
They laughed scornfully at her, and Lorene raised her shoulders and warned before they took their leave.“Thank you so much, Mrs. Ugly duckling. As the upcoming first lady of the Bailey family, I won't have you to continue to use the family name. See you later.”“We shall see,” Nichole said ominously after they left. She laughed softly and murmured, “Two of a kind. Cotton headed ninny muggings. I wish I had a secret camera in my office.”She hissed and set out to resume her work for the day.Trip to the Airport.Denise and Phil arrived at the Bailey Native Home in the nick of time with Denise's car.“Good day father, good day mom,” Denise greeted the moment they got into the house and met their parents waiting.“Good day father, good day mom. Good to see you,” Phil greeted.“Good to you. You came in the nick of time. Let's go.”They picked their parent's luggage and walked towards the car. Then, Arthur halted them and informed, “We are using the armored car.”Phil flashed a quizzical
Subsequently, Jude walked back to the underground and disguised by ruffling his hair and making it look disheveled. Then, he removed the shirt that he wore to the court the previous day and put on untidy clothes. Afterward, he picked his phone, which was his only property apart from his clothes, put it in his pocket and began to navigate his way to the park through another route. Then, he met two angry visitors who were holding their backpacks on that route too. From all indications, they were more anxious than others, and they were chatting louder.“We are not going to leave unless we get our money.”The chanting increased as the number of people had multiplied before Jude appeared at the park. Now, his voice became the loudest.“Yes, we are not going to leave. We need our money.”One of the visitors holding a knapsack beside him agreed with him.“Yes. The resort owner is a rogue. The government had given them money to give to us, but he is out to cheat us,” another visitor with a ba
Now, the news of the explosive had spread among the two thousand uninvited guests. Nevertheless, both patronizers and the gamblers at the resort were not left out. The staff members who were hiding in the underground heard the warning too and ran out, scrambling to any escape routes. Now, the chanting increased and was heard in different directions.“Run for your lives. Explosive,” they shouted on top of their voices.Meanwhile, the Police Squad who were at the scene to maintain law and order retreated at once with their vehicles, when they heard 'explosive'. It was the same story with the media crew, who could not pan their cameras. They dismantled their tripod stands and headed for the hills. Due to the turbulence, there was a grid lock on the major road which made the movement of vehicles impossible because some motorists ran off their vehicles shambolically leaving their ignitions on. The pedestrians, who were more interested in fleeing the arena, were reckless about traffic rules
Wednesday – At the Government Hospital, The Superior could not reach out to Evelyn after trying her number several times the previous day. Lorene, who would have furnished him with the information of her whereabouts, was still in danger. So, he had fewer hands as three of his staff members were off-duty. That day, he had to adjust his roaster to be able to have more hands. Then, Zoey had resumed for the day and was shuttling between her office and Nichole’s. The janitor, who believed that she was assisting Nichole, was of great assistance. “Thank you. What is your name?”Zoey asked the janitor, whom she had taken delight in after working with her for two days.“My name is Rachael Justin, Mrs. Bailey.”“What a nice name? You have been very helpful. Thank you.”“That is the least I can do to cover up for Mrs. Bailey.”“Oh! That is good. I will visit the emergency later to see Lorene.”Rachael, the twenty-year-old janitor, pushed her bottom lip forward in disdain and asked, “Do you rea
He may not be able to resolve other issues in his life, but Cassandra would not add to his problem. Then, he called the Personnel Manager at once. He picked and greeted.“Good day, boss. How may I help you?”“Good day. Transfer Eric to my office and send Cassandra to take over from Eric with immediate effect.”“It is noted, boss.”(Cut)At Stephen’s ApartmentAfter the meeting with the Patriarch and the family heads, he boarded a taxi to Lorene’s house, which was at the Barrack’s Road. To his chagrin, she was not at home. He looked at the time, it was 1:30 pm.“Where could she be? I know that she is on AM Shift.”Now, he rested his head on her door for a few seconds before he gave her a call again, but as usual, she did not pick. With a heavy heart, he left for his house. Then, he sent a message to the barrister requesting that he would make the check for the compensation available.“You are free. I will be in my office by 3 pm.”“All right. See you.”At 2:30 pm, he boarded a taxi to

He asked anxiously. Zoey, who was breathing heavily, could only summarize her complaint with a sentence.“She attacked me, I pushed her away to defend myself, and she slumped.”Dr. Caesar, who was about settling down for the day’s job, was as confused as a chameleon. He gave her a perplexed look while she stood in front of his desk waiting for his response. Then he managed to ask.“Who is ‘she’?”Then, it occurred to Zoey that the Superior was not aware of the incident before she gave a detailed explanation of the incident. Dr. Caesar gave her a cursory response as though nothing happened while he concentrated on his work.“Go back to your office and continue with your work.”When Nichole addressed Lorene and Evelyn as hawks and poachers, she had her reasons. They have attempted ceaselessly to poach the superior away from his wife, but failed. When he dismissed Zoey and concentrated on his work, he felt that Lorene deserved what she got. She returned to Nichole’s office and met a tidy
The facinorous and pretentious Stephen paused and looked at the lawyer to read his countenance, but it was unreadable. Then he proceeded and feigned a sob.“Please, I am pleading, join me to plead with Arthur not to exact vengeance on me. You can see my dilemma. I know I have erred, but, let him spare me this time. I promise I will not be incautious again.”Now, some family heads believed him and had compassion on him, while some refused to take his apology that was not good enough for them, as they turned up their noses at him. Then, the family head of Oscar, who was not happy with how he abducted Zoey, felt it was time to strike, and spoke.“Stephen, you promised you will not be incautious again; incautious over what? Is it the kidnapping of our wives or attempting to sow seeds of discordance in our families?”Such an incisive speech dug up Stephen's iniquities, which the family heads were about to forget. They became infuriated and shouted on top of their voices.“We will not plead
Now, Brown was at the barracks at 7 am because of the meeting. As the head of his family, he knew what to expect from the other family heads, but he was prepared for them.“Good morning to you, our Patriarch.”“Good morning, Brown. How are you?”“As you can see, I am good. What about you?”“I could not catch a sleep last night because of today’s meeting.”“It is expected. We cannot run away from our responsibilities.”“You are right. If those ahead of us had run away from theirs, who knows where we would have been by now.”“You are right.”Then, the scumbag, Stephen, walked in and greeted, “Good morning, our Patriarch. Good morning, my family head.”The two elders looked at him searchingly. They did not bother to respond to his greeting nor glimpse at him. The Patriarch ordered without looking at his face.“Wait in the hall.”“Thank you, our Patriarch,” The momentarily repentant Stephen said, and walked to the hall in the courtyard and took his seat. He watched the family heads trickl
Denise paused and looked at her innocent face without responding, but she continued, “Are you still mad at me?”“Eat your food first.” Denise responded and kept feeding her. She took two more spoons and stopped and said in between sobs, “I am okay. Thank you.”Unfortunately, Denise lacked how to respond to the situation; he was angry with the woman that he must save her life.‘I have to concentrate on saving her life first. I can get angry later.’ He advised himself and smiled. He scooped the food and then urged her.“Sweetheart, I don’t think you are okay. Just take more spoons, and you will be okay.” Olivia saw it as an opportunity to strike a bargain with her husband, and she quickly asked, “Answer me. Are you still mad at me?”Denise smiled and asked her too, “Can I ever be mad at my beautiful Angel?”(Peck)She gave a dampened smile as she wiped the teardrops that tickled down her cheeks with the back of her hand. Denise, who was emotional at that point, dropped the plate and th
“I hope she is not angry with me for taking long in contacting her?”Now, he gave her a call for the second time. The phone rang several times, but she refused to pick.“She must have gone to sleep,” he concluded, and slept off too.At the Tourist Center.The Security Officer was happy with the changes he saw in Jude’s composure. His youthfulness radiated as he was constantly happy. The moist that usually gathered in his eyes whenever he wanted to speak was no longer there. He enjoyed making music with his piano than watching the television. When the Security Officer got to his room that afternoon for his lunch, he observed that he spoke freely with him; more like a relation than a stranger.“How is your day going, Jude?”He smiled and paused from the keyboard before responding.“My day is going on well, Sir. And you?”“Fine. Your lunch is here.”“Okay, thank you, Sir. How about the boss?”“The boss is good. He sent his love.”“Oh! I wish I will meet him soon.”“Yea! You will meet him
Mrs. Felix said when Lorene walked out of the Chairman’s office. To her surprise, she did not respond rather, she walked on like a disappointed child. The clerks noticed the same attitude. She got to the car park, got into the car and drove to the gate. She got off the car, picked her phone and drove away. The Security men were surprised to see a woman who was raging a few minutes ago walking solemnly to their office to pick her phone.‘What must have happened? Who is actually the Chairman of the Bailey International Conglomerates?’ She mulled over, and drove. Howbeit, she never considered putting a call across to Stephen, neither was she aware that she narrowly escaped the police arrest. Now, Denise had sent for the Security Officer who drove to the Admin Block after Lorene drove off.“You called me, boss.”“Yes. Why did you call the cop on that woman?”“I did not call the cop, they just came.”“How? What do you mean by they just came?" Denise asked, and furrowed his brow. Incidental
