LIAM
When I got to the door to exit the bar, a guy who I would love to call ugly, even though I couldn’t see his face well due to the dark environment.This dude blocking my way looked skinny and he was with a girl which from the way she dressed one could tell she was a slut.“ Who gave you the effrontery to carry my girlfriend that way, “ the guy said trying to sound and look intimidating but to me, he was talking gibberish.I had no time for small talk so I ignored him and wanted to pass but he stepped in front of me therefore, blocking my path.I was growing impatient. Luckily this dudes noise drew the attention of the the bouncer guarding the door of the bar and I ordered him to take the guy out of my way which the bouncer did diligently and I walked to my car with the lady in my arms.I heard the guy yelling and telling me to stop but I didn't blame him because if he knew me better, he would know no one tells me to stop unless I want to.What is this beautiful lady doing with a such a guy like him. He didn’t look like a boyfriend material at all, I thought to myself.I placed her on the seat on the passenger side of my limited-model range rover. Calm down Liam, you just need to be a good Samaritan for today, I said to myself in an attempt to calm myself down.I walked into the driver's seat and drove off. While I was driving I asked her where she lived but she just kept mute as she kept on staring into space at least she wasn't crying and wailing anymore.I decided to drive her to a nearby hotel and book a room for her to pass the night because I knew that when she wakes up tomorrow she'll be sober enough to find her way home.We got to the hotel and I had to still carry her bridal style. I initially wanted her to walk on her own but she began to stagger so I had no option but to carry her.When I took her into the hotel I booked a room for her and headed to the room after collecting the keys. I took her to the bathroom and helped wash her face because according to what I heard, it helps calm drunk people down.After that She looked a bit sober, I tucked her into the bed but when I wanted to get and leave, she held me back and began crying again.Even though she was drunk I could see pain evident in her eyes. The young lady was hurt I could tell by the look in her eyes.“ He cheated on me with my best friend. Can you imagine that? “ She said almost inaudibly amidst tears.Oh, so that's what pushed her to drink this much. But it was really sad to see her in this state. I could only imagine how hurt she might be right now but why do people betray those who trust them?Honestly speaking this was the reason why I didn't want to go into any committed relationship, I pity this lady.She kept sobbing and I tried to pacify her but didn't know how to. I became worried because her eyes got red and swollen like they were about to bulge out.She leaned in for a hug and I hugged her back, patting her back softly in an attempt to calm her down, it was the least I could do.Before I knew it, she began to snore while still in my embrace. If this lady and I happen to coincidentally meet someday, I know for sure that she'll be embarrassed to look at me, I thought to myself and chuckled.On a normal day, I hated people who snore but I kinda found her way of snoring cute. I found myself smiling at her cute state as I laid her down and tucked her into bed. After which I made my way to the air conditioner's remote and increased the coldness.After that I left, hoping that she would be fine, move on with her life, and forget about that jerk who cheated on her. It wasn’t a surprise that I saw him at the bar with that slut looking lady.After getting into my car to drive off, I heaved a deep sigh of relief “ What a day “ I mumbled and drove home feeling exhausted .*******************************************Getting home I honked for my gatekeeper to open the gate which he did and I drove in.I lived in a six-bedroom duplex alone because I couldn't stand the overbearing nature of my mom and sister. I got down from my car and proceeded into the house when I parked in my garage.From the way I live in a six-bedroom duplex one would think I had many maids but I had none, I always loved my space and privacy. Besides, most of the time, I was always away on trips with my models for shoots.Each time the house needed cleaning I always called the cleaning company and they would come to do the cleaning and leave when they were done. So I didn’t see any need for maids, I always ate at restaurants or our family house.I went into my house intending to go straight to my room upstairs and rest. But immediately I stepped into the house, my nose caught the sweet aroma of food and that got me wondering who was inside.I walked to my kitchen only to find Lydia frying Irish potatoes not only that, she was doing so while putting on red lingeries and this annoyed me because what the fuck was she doing cooking in my house.When she finally noticed me she put off the gas cooker and took quick long strides towards me “ Hey baby!!! Welcome “ she said trying to hug me and sound sweet but I found it disgustingIs this girl mentally unstable? I wondered.I stopped her with a raise of my hand “ Baby? Really? what the fuck are you doing in my house Lydia. I thought I made it clear that whatever was between us is over!! “ I said to her through gritted teeth.“ I know you're angry but I'm sorry, I can't be without you please Liam, “ she said with teary eyes while pouting but for some reason, it irritated me the most. I couldn't even stand being in the same space with her anymore.“ Really? You're sorry?? “ I asked her and smirked while walking forward to meet her.“ Yes Liam, “ she said, also walking forward to meet me. I took out my phone and dialed my security guard's number while Lydia curiously watched me with a questioning look.“ Please I need you to come and take this lady out of my house right now, “ I said immediately after my security man picked up the call.“ Okay sir “ He answered and the line went dead immediately.I walked out of the kitchen giving deaf ears to Lydia’s calls as my security man dragged her out. I made a mental note never to have even a no-strings relationship with any lady, anything concerning a relationship and sex i wouldn’t indulge myself in it.I went into my room, showered, and slept off immediately after my body touched my king-size bed. This was one hell of a day, wasn't it?………………………………….The sound of my alarm woke me up at 8 am. I took my bath, dressed up, and headed to my car to drive off to work.“ Good morning sir “ Peter, my gatekeeper greeted me as he saw me approach my car.“ Morning Peter, Trust you had a good sleep, “ I asked him and he nodded.“ Good, “ I said and got into my car which Peter took as his cue to open the gate for me.My gate was controlled by a remote control and sometimes, I wondered why I needed a gatekeeper when I could take the remote control with me whenever I wanted to open or close the gate. On second thought Peter needed the job so, that’s why I just let him continue with his job.When I got into my car I put on my ear pods and connected them to my phone after which I immediately called the hotel where the lady from last night stayed and ordered some fresh clothes for her.I also told the receptionist to write a note on my behalf when delivering the clothes to her but no name should be written as the sender. I didn’t want the lady to know my name because if she does she’ll surely know who I am.After that, I called my assistant to get breakfast for me before I reached my office. I dialed her number and she picked up after two rings.“ Morning Sir, “ Alice said“ Morning Alice please get breakfast for me before I reach the office. I'm already late so I can't stop by a restaurant before coming. “ I said as I wanted to turn on my car and drive off but her next line of words stopped me.“ I'm sorry sir, I quit, I already tendered my resignation letter, my mom is sick so I moved out of the country to go stay with her and also take care of her, “ She said with an apologetic tone.“ You quit and you didn't deem it fit to call me and tell me you had to wait till I called you? You know what? it's fine, take care of your mom “ I said angrily and with that, I tapped my ear pod twice with my fingers and the call ended.I wasn't angry that she quit to take care of her sick mother, but I was mad because she should have called me to tell me since she was quitting on such short notice. so I can arrange for another personal assistant to be employed.Had she told me yesterday I would have told my secretary to employ someone else before today. Argh, this is frustrating! To think that I thought today would be a good day.I angrily drove off to work planning that I'll just send my secretary Henry to get something light for me to eat. I got to work and walked straight upstairs to my office without paying heed to any of my employees' greetings.Getting into my office, Henry my secretary brought breakfast for me and left.WhenI was done eating, he came to notify me that he scheduled a meeting with the company which terminated the contract they signed for Lydia to model for their brand and that it was already time for the meeting which would be holding at their company not ours.I immediately stood up and headed downstairs after telling Henry to bring anyone who applied for the post of being my personal assistant to my office for an interview when I get back.When I got downstairs and wanted to exit my company building to get into my car, I bumped into someone.It was my fault because my attention was on my phone. When I raised my head to see who I bumped I was surprised.MAYAThe rays of sunshine hit my eyes and woke me up. I yawned and got up only to feel a serious headache. I noticed I was in a hotel and only then did last night's event begin to come into my memory. I wish I knew the good Samaritan who brought me here.I promised myself never to drink again no matter the situation. I carried my phone to check for notifications or messages from my colleagues at the flower shop and found loads of them. It was also then that I saw the time it was 9 am, Shit!, I'm late.I said as I flew out of bed to the bathroom ignoring the banging headache I was feeling. I quickly showered and when I got out of the bathroom, I saw a red knee-length flaw gown on the bed with a note by the side.I took the note and saw that it had no sender but it was addressed to me. It read “ Hello Miss, I figured your dress won't look good anymore after you vomited last night so I got you a new one today, please take care of yourself and move on from your cheating boyfriend “.Wait,
MAYAI got into the Elevator and clicked the number three button which indicated the third floor. While waiting patiently for the elevator to get to the third floor I couldn't deny the fact that I was nervous.Gosh, my palms were even getting sweaty. Since I stepped into this company just now, I began to feel inferior because everyone present in the company was dressed elegantly and looked very classy.Do I even have a chance of being employed? I asked myself thinking that it was not too late to turn back in order to avoid further embarrassment, but a voice inside me urged me to go.The elevator stopped and opened and I alighted afterward. I stood in the hallway shocked at the beautiful classy ladies that were dressed elegantly and seated waiting for the CEO. I immediately wanted to turn back but thought against it after all, the dress that the good Samaritan bought for me isn't looking bad.I walked forward to the secretaries office and when I passed in front of their other ladies wai
MAYA“ Miss Maya, is there something else you'd like to tell me or let me make it easy for you to understand, aren't you forgetting to tell me something? “ Liam asked me with a serious expression on his face.“ Huh? “ I asked out of confusion as to what else he wanted me to ask and he just raised one of his eyebrows giving me a questioning look, then I realized I didn't use the right format to ask him so I immediately corrected myself.“ No! No! No! “ I said, shaking my head vigorously and using a wave of my hand which signifies No to let him know I didn't mean the huh I said.“ I'm sorry I meant to say what else would you want me to say, sir, “ I said after clearing my throat and letting out a breath.“ Is my presence so suffocating that you have to let out breaths when you are with me? If I employ you as my assistant, you would share this office with me. Is this how you would be feeling uncomfortable? “ He asked, obviously annoyed. Why is this man so short-tempered I thought to mysel
LIAMOn my way out of my company, when I bumped into the lady I helped that night at my bar. I was very surprised as to what she may be doing there.I thought that she would recognize me and thank me for aiding her last night as she looked at me but instead she apologized quickly and hurried instead.I found that behavior rude, I mean why would she see someone who aided her and not acknowledge the person? I struggled not to glare at her. At least this has taught me a lesson not to help any lady in distress.I ignored her and walked to my car driving off to the Silver Grey's clothing and fashion company. I was finally able to convince them and they gave my company back the contract.I got a call from Henry telling me that the applicants for the post of PA were waiting for me in front of my office, so I left the company bidding Silver Grey the Ceo of Grey Textile and design Company farewell.I drove to my company and arrived at exactly 4 pm. I entered the elevator and went straight to m
MAYA“ Dear Miss Maya Allen, this is to inform you that you have been selected and we would love to employ you as the personal assistant to Mr. Liam Taylor. An email has been sent to you, if you still wish to work for our company please sign and report to work by 8 am, where you would be given the hard copy of your employment letter which you would sign and it'll be kept by the company for record purpose “ The message that Cleared all the sleepiness from my eyes read.Was this a prank? Because of everything that transpired yesterday, I could have sworn that I wouldn't be given this job. Well, it's a win-win for me then even though the boss is very hard and cold towards me I’ll be just fine if I do as he says and mind my business.I quickly checked my email and saw it was indeed from their company. I signed and jumped out of bed to check my wardrobe for what I can wear.I felt frustrated when I couldn't get anything palatable to wear. I settled on the dress that the person who helped m
MAYA“ Follow you to where sir? “ I asked him, confused, as to where he wanted us to go. The arrogant man didn't answer me, rather he made his way out of the office and I had to follow him.We got into the elevator together and damn from the minute we stepped into the elevator till we came out of it I was feeling claustrophobic, Liam had a kind of suffocating aura.We got down the elevator and walked to the exit door of the company. Through the corner of my eyes, I could see beautiful models who were passing stop to ogle Liam after which when they saw me following him they began glaring at me and giving me nasty looks.I rolled my eyes at them before finally exiting the company building with Liam. He walked to the car while I followed him closely. Reaching his car he got into the driver's side still without saying a word and I wanted to open the door to the back seat.Not wanting to sit beside him in the front passenger seat, scared that he might chase me to the back seat, telling me t
MAYA“ He always talks about you each time he calls me since he helped you at the bar, he always complains about how you couldn't even thank him now that you have seen him again. But he still made you his Assistant and has even brought you shopping, he hasn't done that for any of his assistants before. You must be special. I think he likes you, “ Eve said chuckling as we walked to the changing room.But when she mentioned him helping me at the bar It was then that it clicked in my mind that Liam was the good person that helped me. It's no wonder that he looked at me that way when I went for the interview.I facepalmed knowing that he must be thinking I'm ungrateful and that I recognized him but feigned ignorance.I quickly ran back to where Liam sat still engrossed with whatever he was doing but when he saw me stop in front of him he lifted his head and for the first time since his amber eyes had been looking at me I recognized that he was the hot guy sitting beside me that day.“ I'm
MAYA“ And how is that your concern? “ A voice from behind asked the blonde lady and when I turned to see who was standing up for me against this blondie, I was surprised to see that it was Liam.We made eye contact and his gaze lingered on my body for a while before he walked forward to stand beside me while he addressed the blondie.“ Lydia is this all you do instead of working? Had it been she is someone from another company bringing a contract deal to me, is this how you would behave? What gave you the right to question a random person in such a rude way? “ Liam asked with a displeased look on his face.Oh, so her name is Lydia, she looked very beautiful with the perfect body and height but the problem was her character from the way she spoke to me. I could already tell she is rude and pompous, I guess that she is a model.The way Liam stood up for me warmed my heart in a way I couldn't explain, he's not a total asshole I guess. But then again from the way he spoke, it seemed he al
