Kevin smiled to himself after reminiscing about how he and Ariella met. He was glad that she was finally reconnecting with her best friend after over 9 months of no communication. Ariella had delayed their wedding because she couldn’t get married behind her friend’s back so she did everything to get in touch with her all to no avail.She and Alexandra didn’t have an email address and weren’t on social media platforms so it was difficult to reach her and she didn’t know the new name of the company she worked for because they unintentionally skipped that info in their conversations.She knew her bestie must have tried so much to get in touch with her but her own phone line had suddenly developed an irreparable problem during her intensive one-month training at work and she was told that it would take months before the Telecoms Company fixes the problem. By the time she got another line, Alexandra’s number was switched off.She traveled back to London to see Alexandra’s foster parents so
“Kirklin… He’s a very nice and selfless guy… I would want both of you to meet each other in the future. During the time we weren’t able to get in touch, Kevin had tried to set him up with you because you’re in Europe and he’s based in Europe as well but he doesn’t seem to like women” said Ariella.Alexandra gave a fake laugh “I don’t like men too so I’m not interested in him either”.“I know right,” Ariella said as both of them hi-fived each other and laughed over it.“Did Kevin tell him my name?” Alexandra asked.“I don’t think so…Kevin only knows you as Alexa and I’m not sure he mentioned your name to him… I’m sure Kevin is the happiest guy now that I’ve found you. He wants to start a family soonest” replied Ariella happily.“Please don’t delay the poor guy,” said Alexandra as she went back to the Kirklin gossip. “I’m so grateful that Kirklin saved Kayla… So, is he in a relationship now?“Babes, I said someone doesn’t like women…how on earth will he be in a relationship?... I think
Surprisingly, by the time Alexandra’s foster parents eventually met Mr. and Mrs. Laurent, they realized they were classmates and close friends from the University.They were a group of 6 friends; 3 ladies and 3 men and all the couples started dating from school and eventually got married. They had lost contact ever since they graduated and it was such a lovely reunion.Mrs. Laurent and Alexandra’s foster mum cried and hugged so much. The Laurents were so glad to have helped their good friends’ child when she was in dire need of help and they were encouraged and determined to always help because the simple help they rendered to Alexandra came right back home.They asked about the third couple with whom they were friends but Mr. Laurent said he heard they died in an accident many years ago and that news hit all of them hard but they had to cheer up because of their reunion and the newborns.Alexandra and the twins were discharged from the hospital after 3 days with no complications and
Alexandra’s heart was beating very fast at the thought of being discovered by Kirklin but as he was a few steps away from the pillar, the M.C. suddenly announced for him to come and join them on the dance floor.Since all eyes turned back to look at him, he was left with no choice but to boogie down to join friends and family on the dance floor.Apparently, while Kirklin carried the twins, he had perceived a familiar scent and his heart yearned for the owner of the scent. He got up to move to a solitary place just to brood over his emotions and he found a seat close to a pillar that appeared like the occupant had left the party. As he was about to get there, Ariella saw him and immediately saved the situation by alerting the M.C. to invite him to the dance floor.The Jeffersons and Jacobsons were hot steppers so he joined them and they boogaloo real hard.Alexandra gave a thank you sign to Ariella who had her eyes on her all through. She then sent a text message to her parents and gua
He ordered the HR Director to hold on with the recruitment she was handling as they have just gotten another investor that would be taking over immediately. The new management had stated they would like to select their candidates of choice for the vacant positions in the company.The External Auditors had laid off so many incompetent staff members that contributed to the ruin of the giant company and they still planned to lay off all the current Directors but they wanted the new Management to settle in well and understand the system thoroughly before they would let go of the remaining inept staff.The HR Director who didn’t know she had only a couple of days left on her job clenched her teeth and angrily replied “But, I was just about handing an employment letter over to a candidate when you called”“For what position?” asked the Chief External Auditor.“Director, Business Advisory” she replied sternly.“That’s a senior position… Schedule another interview with the candidate for 10 am
The new CEO confidently pulled out the chair beside Alexandra and sat down very close to her.He asked the clumsy HR Director who by this time was still on her feet what her job was. She rubbed her hand over her breasts to divert his attention to that spot as she responded “I'm the HR Director Sir"The new CEO; Kirklin Jefferson was really irritated by her attitude and he said "I'm sure whoever recruited you must have gotten you from a strip bar cos I see no reason why you should act immorally in here. Listen, there's a new sheriff in town and I don't condone any bad behavior. I can't tolerate it...IS THAT NOTED? He said emphatically.The lady was very scared as no man had ever resisted what she just did so she quickly apologized and took her seat.Kirklin who sat closely beside Alexandra didn't for once tilt his head to look at her nor did she look up from where she was. Her heart started to race from the moment he sat beside her and all she could do was to fiddle with the frills of
Both Kirklin and Alexandra looked up to see who violently opened the door and it was the HR Director. Kirklin was very angry with her and he immediately ordered "Get out". He instantly called the Chief External Auditor on phone to arrange for her immediate termination without benefits. As soon as Alexandra heard he was going to lay her off, he pleaded with him to allow her to collect an item from her first. For the first time since they met again, she looked at his face as she made her request, and memories of their past unfolded in her eyes which were immediately filled with tears. Kirklin was never comfortable seeing her cry so he got up and sat on the table in front of her. He used his hands to wipe her tears. As soon as he did that, it was as if her stored-up tears of over a year just gave way and she started to sob uncontrollably. Her shoulders shook so much as she bawled heavily. Kirklin quickly got up and locked the Conference Room door. He picked up his phone again and infor
Unknown to Alexandra, Kirklin could see her through the camera installed in his car which he was able to view from his wristwatch. He was surprised to see her expressing breast milk and knew she must have delivered her baby from the pregnancy that caused them to go their separate ways. He was happy for her but felt unhappy for himself as he thought she must be with her child's dad. As soon as he saw that she was done, he went to the car and knocked before entering. He touched her forehead and realized her fever had subsided. "Oh wow, you're getting better!" He exclaimed. “Yes, thank you but I still need the meds”. She ate a little of the snack and took the medication. She thereafter decided to leave. She held the door handle and said as she wanted to get out of his car, "Thank you for helping me today". However, as she tilted her body to open the door, Kirklin grabbed her by the hand and pleaded "Xandra, please can we talk for a while". She looked back at him and said "I don't th
