Damien placed both hands into his pockets glaring down at the foolish lady..
Bella rushed out of her office immediately she heard the little commotion going on outside, her eyes nearly popped out of its sockets when she saw the file littered around.."Who is she?"Bella nervously looked up to him, he had given her this task to take care of, she'll definitely get into trouble because of this lady.."Boss.. she's a new employee"Damien's face remained indifferent as his gaze locked down on hers, he couldn't shake off the weird feeling he felt at the moment.."You're fired!"Olivia's brows knotted, fired? she hasn't even spent up to twenty minutes at her new work place.."What?!" she stood up to her feet and pointed her index finger at him.."Escort her out of the company immediately!" Damien gave his verdict and started walking away..Bella smirked as she stared at the look of distort on Olivia's face, she was startled when Olivia took off to the direction where their boss went.."Such a fool! what are you all staring?! get back to work!"***The elevator's doors were about closing when a foot was placed in between, the doors opened once more startling Damien..Olivia casually walked in and snapped her gaze elsewhere, she couldn't help but notice his burning gaze on her.."Am I that pretty that you can't take your eyes off me?" she asked with her brows raised..Damien's hands suddenly grabbed her chin, he pushed her backwards till her back pressed against the walls of the elevator.."Who do you think you are to share my personal elevator? and what sought of lady are you?"Olivia's amber eyes shone in delight, she forcefully grabbed his arm and pushed it down, she has dealt with men of his kind who think that they can boss anyone around just because they were wealthy and good looking.."Are you trying to take advantage of me? you've fired me isn't that enough?"Damien was awed by her audacity, he stared at her in shock, never has he ever crossed such an audacious woman in his life before now.."Don't you have any idea of who you're talking to?! "Olivia waved her hand nonchalantly, honestly she didn't care at all.."I don't want to know" She replied back in a bored and uninterested tone..Damien sighed in frustration, he doubted if she was normal, his phone rang out on seeing the caller's id he didn't hesitate before picking up.."Hey I'm almost down..I'll see you in a bit"Silence returned in the elevator once more before Olivia chuckled staring at something on her phone..Soon her chuckle turned into a loud laughter causing a crease line to settle on Damien's forehead.."Uncivilized!"Olivia pulled her gaze away from her phone and stared at him with an arched brow.."Excuse me? are you referring to me as uncivilized?"Damien released a breath completely ignoring her, he didn't want to get a headache by talking to her again..Olivia who was angered by his silence smirked coyly, she suddenly stood before him and wrapped her hands around his neck startling him, she raised her phone up and took a quick peek of their posture..His eyes rounded in shock at her level of shamelessness.."Give me back my job or else everyone will see this..I guess some of your girlfriends too"Damien held her hand trying to pull it off to snatch her phone but hell! this damned lady's grip was tight.."Are you threatening me?!"Olivia's smirk widened, she released her grip on him.."You can consider it as one"Damien lounged forward to snatch her phone but to his utter surprise she placed it into her white top, his hands unconsciously tried to reach for it..The door suddenly opened and everyone's gaze fell on them, their jaws dropped in shock on seeing their boss trying to reach into a lady's top..Damien cursed beneath his breath and retracted his hand, and he thought that was all until the dramatic lady next to him bursted out crying.."How could you do this to me? you can't fire me..I have a very old and sick father, how am I to pay his medical bills if I don't work here"Olivia sat on her heels crying out to gain sympathy from his employees.."What is going on?"Damien turned to the direction of the voice and closed his eyes briefly.."Mum what are you doing here?"Anita swayed her hair backwards and walked past her son to the lady who was crying her eyes out, as soon as she was near the lady she was suddenly engulfed into a tight embrace.."please don't let him do this to me ma'am, I come from a very poor family..and they depend on my income but he fired me on my first day of work"Anita sniffed back her tears listening to the lady's touching story, she patted Olivia's back gently..She snapped her gaze to her son who wasn't showing any sign of remorse whatsoever.."how can you do this to her Damien? she's been through a lot and you're bullying her?"Damien was dumbfounded by his mum's words, bullying her? that really wasn't the case here infact he was the one being bullied by her.."Mum I can assure you..you don't know how shameless this lady here is"Anita raised her hand in the air to stop him from speaking, she pulled Olivia to take a look at her face.."I give you my word dear..no one will be allowed to fire you..I'll sought everything out"Olivia's grin widened, she pushed her hair behind her ear while staring at Damien's darkened face..***Olivia followed the nice lady to one of the offices in the company, her smile widened by the spacious view in front of her, the large floor to ceiling window overlooks the city..Meanwhile, Damien wasn't so happy about what his mum was about to do, he clearly detests this lady's boldness and badly wanted to wipe off the smile off her ugly face.."Damien take her as your secretary since you're in need of one" Anita suggested taking a peek at Olivia who had such a pitiful expression on her face..Damien sent a glare to the lady who didn't budge, if it were to be any normal lady she'd have fled for her life by now.."No mum! that won't happen, she's better off as a cleaner than my secretary!"Anita narrowed her gaze at him "She's your new secretary and that's final!"She stood up to her feet and smiled at Olivia "As from today you'll work with him, if he dares give you a hard time..you can reach me on this line" She said handing a card to Olivia who accepted it without hesitating..Olivia placed her hands together with a wide grin on her lips.."I can't possibly thank you enough ma'am, you've saved a life by doing this good deed"Anita blushed by her kind words, she bade them goodbye and hurried out of the office..Olivia waved at her until she vanished through the doors, she brought the card to her face looking at it meaningfully..In the next second it was snatched from her hold by Damien, she turned to meet his dead cold glare that sent shivers down her spine.."Give that back!"Damien raised it above his head and due to his height she wasn't able to reach it.."You've just signed a death wish, you got the job through my mum's help but how are you going to survive working under me?"Olivia arched her left brow "You can't bully me dear boss "Despite all that had happened to Tracy in the last few weeks, she was smart enough to understand that revenge wouldn't help her out at all. She pulled her gaze off the large screen showing the live footage of Damien and Olivia's wedding. That should have been her daughter smiling so brightly on the screen, but the latter messed up her chances. If only Olivia hadn't come into the picture, maybe everything would still be intact and in place. The Brown's wouldn't have been broken apart like it had. Taking a huge deep breath, she gripped the handle of the wheelchair where a dazed looking Asher sat. The doctor said he was still in shock of whatever had happened around him but it's been days since he woke up and the only word he uttered was "Olivia" Tracy wasn't oblivious to the fact that Asher had something for Olivia. "Your dad and Rihanna has chosen their own path, I think it's time we get going and start our lives afresh" They had to catch the fastest flight to Florida w
Few days later.. The most awaited day in the city came by so fast. The day were the two souls were finally going to be joined together by the sacred bonds of marriage. A majestic church was transformed into a breathtakingly opulent wedding wonderland. The stained glass windows adorned with intricate stone carvings filtered the sunlight casting kaleidoscopic patterns across the polished marbled floor covered with a plush white carpet runner embroidered with gold thread. Garlands of lush greenery and exotic white flowers which included, roses, orchids, and gardenias entwined the wooden pews leading up to the altar. The air was sweet with the scent of blooming flowers. All these extravagant decor had everything to do with Anita Sterling, the most joyous soul on earth. She had been anticipating this day so much if not more than the couple and finally it was here. As the orchestra's strings swelled, the congregation rose. Their faces turned toward the back of the church. Th
Alexa took a glance at Hardin seated next to her in the car when he didn't make any attempt to step out of the car. Today, her older brother had summoned her to the Sterling's ancestral home for an urgent meeting, and she had taken advantage of that opportunity to introduce Hardin to her family. Except that the latter was feeling nervous about this meeting. Hardin knew that he had to face his girl's family sooner than later. He wasn't scared of meeting them but rather be was scared that they might look down on him because of the huge gap between their status. Or worse they might shoo him away from Alexa which he wouldn't be able to bear. Alexa's hand fell on his palm fisted on his lap. She gave it a soft reassuring squeeze. "Trust me. Everything will be fine. My brother might seem tough but he is actually soft hearted on the inside and my dad isn't much of a trouble either" Hardin released a deep breath, he casted her a glance. "And your mum? There's still enough time
Tracy's hand shakily reached for the door's knob leading to Asher's ward. Her heart raced wildly as the door creaked open. She took a step in and almost immediately, a surprised squeal left her lips. Her legs almost gave way, but luckily, she regained her composure and hurried to the bed where the lean figure lay with his eyes wide open. "Asher" She cried out softly caressing his hair. He was awake. Meanwhile, Asher's face was as still as a statue, he hardly blinked or changed his line of focus. Tracy rained multiple kisses on his face but that still didn't generate any reaction from him. There were several questions running wild in her head that needed to be answered. "Asher..can you hear me? it's me your mum" She reminded him taking his hand in hers. She brought his hand to her lips and began sobbing. Now she had a new ray of hope. He was awake and that was all that mattered to her. *** Olivia sat on her bed reading a book in the peace and quietness of Damien's r
Bianca flashed a smile at the kind receptionist who led her to the door leading to Xander's office... Her hubby must have been working his ass off and had probably forgotten to have breakfast before coming to the office and it was certain that he might skip lunch too. But not on her watch. She had decided to pay a surprise visit to him today by coming over to his company with his lunch. She pushed the door open and stepped in with all smiles.. "Hey, Mr Gray I see you're busy." Xander was startled at her sudden familiar and chirpy voice, he snapped his head up from his PC to her. She plunged to the chair in front of his large desk with a broad grin on her face placing two takeouts on his desk. From her facial expression he got that she was excited to see him. "Wow! I wasn't expecting you to show up. You startled me for a second there" She sprang up to her feet and walked around the desk heading to him, once she drew close enough she stood behind him and leaned dow
All throughout the ride back home Damien's hand never left Olivia's tummy no matter how many times she made jest of him. He just couldn't contain his happiness and the same goes to Olivia. "Don't you think you are overreacting?" Olivia inquired arching a brow. She wasn't complaining or anything, it was just it felt weird for him to caress her flat tummy. "Come on. I wasn't there for you when you were pregnant with Kelvin. The least I could do is to make sure that I'm always by your side from now henceforth" Olivia sighed in defeat, she tilted her head by the side till it fell on his shoulder. "As you wish Mr Sterling" *** Hardin wiped off small food crumbs by the corner of Alexa's lips using his thumb. He took the dirty dishes along with him to the kitchen. "You don't have to do the dishes. I can manage on my own" Alexa lazily offered running her palm on her stomach. "Nah. it's nothing much" It's been a while since she last ate a really nourishing homemade foo
