Damien's once sullen expression lightened up within seconds, now that he thought about it, she can stay..
"You know what? I think I'm a bad boss for trying to fire you on your first day of work..so from now onwards you're my secretary" Olivia arched an eyebrow at the 360 degree turn his words just took, wasn't he against her staying here a while ago? and why was he nice? "Really?" her eyes glowed in delight when he gave her a nod, she was just about to leave the office when she heard his next words.. "I'll make sure you regret working with me!" *** Sandy Parker giggled when she was suddenly embraced by a small frame.. It was her grandson Kelvin, not too long she heard Bianca's voice which sounded like she was on a call.. "Grandma you didn't tell me that you were stopping by..did you get chocolate for me?" Sandy took him by his hand and led him to the small dining table for four at a corner in the living room.. "Of course I got you chocolate.. but as you know cavities aren't friendly to little kids..I made you a very tasty snack" Kelvin's eyes grew large when he saw the plate of cookies and a glass of milk sitting on the table.. "Wow grandma..you made cookies for me" Sandy nodded, she excused herself when her phone rang out.. "Yes dear..send their portfolio to me as soon as you can.. thanks" She said with a smile, sooner or later she would find the suitable man for her daughter.. Kelvin instantly knew what she meant by that but like always, he was always here to protect his mum from bad men.. "Mrs Parker.. I'm sorry I have to leave now..my mum just called, she's having some trouble with her car" Sandy waved her off, she didn't mind,at least she was here to take care of her grandson herself before Olivia gets back from work and speaking about Olivia how was she doing? *** Bella threw a large amount of files on Olivia's desk that was already filled up with various colours of files.. "Boss said you must finish sorting all these before the end of today or else you're working overnight" Olivia heaved up and down in anger, so this was what he meant by making her regret her decision to work with him? "You've dropped it right? why don't you leave?!" She lashed out irritably at the b*tch in front of her, was this how they treated every new employee they hire? A loud gasp ensued from the other employees, no one has ever talked back at Bella before now, she was like the second boss whenever the boss wasn't around.. Bella's pupils dilated as her jaw clenched staring down at the lady who wasn't a little inch scared of her.. "Are you deaf or something?" Olivia asked once more with an arched brow.. "How dare you speak to me in such a tone?! do you know who I am?!" Olivia shrugged, she failed to understand why people asks her this question when she honestly didn't care at all.. "Please don't shout! I have a lot of work to do and if you don't mind..please leave now" Olivia added and watched Bella stormed away in anger.. She faced her PC once more and suddenly felt some gazes on her, she snapped her gaze to the others who quickly pulled their gaze off her pretending to do something on their desk.. "Weirdos" she murmured.. Few minutes after Bella left, the telephone beside her rang out, she stared at it for a while before she raised it up to her ear.. "To my office now!" Olivia shrunk back and pulled the telephone off her ear, she could tell he wasn't in a good mood on hearing his anger laced tone.. *** Damien relaxed back on his seat with his hand on his temple, by his side stood Bella who was all smiles.. Olivia who stood before them pulled off her gaze elsewhere to avoid his interrogative stare.. "You... "Before you scold me..I wasn't at fault, she was the one who clearly started it..but if you want to punish me for a mistake I didn't do..you can go ahead, I'll simply dial the number on the black card" Olivia blabbed on cutting Damien off his speech.. Damien sat up and lowered his gaze at her "Are you threatening me?" his tone came out in a low and demanding growl.. Bella was the most infuriated, she couldn't believe how rude and ill mannered this newbie was and especially to the boss himself.. She wasn't sure what made him changed his mind after he fired her earlier today.. "Bella.." Bella straightened herself up with a small smile directed at him.. "Yes boss?" "Leave us" He ordered while his eyes was fixated on the daring lady in front of him, he couldn't point out exactly what he found familiar about this lady in front of him.. Bella's smile froze on her face, however she composed herself and left the office leaving the two alone. Olivia watched him as he stood up from his seat, he walked to her in a slow and intimidating step, he was a bit surprised that she wasn't even making an attempt to step back or blink her eyes nervously.. "What are you trying to do?" Damien grabbed her arm and pushed her gently to the wall with a hand above her head, he lowered his gaze down at her.. "You've only been here for six hours but you managed to break fifteen rules in the span of that hour" Olivia smirked, she bit her bottom lip and at the same time, her hand grabbed his tie.. "I'm awesome don't you know that? and besides that I'm not one who follows the rules..you can ask around" Damien pulled his tie off her grip and took a step backwards from her but instead she took a step forward to him.. This went on until Damien felt his desk behind him, he looked at her in unbelief.. How on earth was she so brave? doing something like this to her own boss?? "Are you suddenly scared of me boss? weren't you trying to be tough a while ago?" Olivia raised her hand to his collar straightening it and just then the door opened as a graceful figure entered.. "Babe... Her footsteps stopped midway as she stared at her boyfriend who was about to be seduced by a female employee. Olivia and Damien turned their heads to the lady who just stepped into the office.. "Rihanna..you came" Rihanna's eyes blazed in anger as she matched to the lady who was still clinging onto Damien's shirt, she raised her hand ready to strike Olivia to her face but to her dismay her hand was caught with ease on air.. "Don't try to make that mistake of raising your hands to me!.." Olivia warned with a stern look on her face.. Rihanna's brown orbs widened in surprise, she staggered backwards when Olivia threw down her hand forcefully.. "How dare you?! how dare you try to seduce my boyfriend?!" Olivia swiped her blonde hair backwards which swept over Damien's face "Ask your boyfriend and spare me out of this drama!" She casually said and left the office for them..Rihanna snapped her gaze back to Damien who was oddly quiet about his employees behavior towards her.. "did you see that Damien? that lady just disrespected me..fire her!" Damien sighed and returned back to his seat, if it were to be in his power, he'd have done so without batting an eyelid but since his mum got herself involved, he'd rather tolerate Olivia's ill mannered behavior than disrespect his mum.. "Just ignore her.." Rihanna's lips parted in disbelief, ignore her? that lady just insulted her and he asked her to let go?? she shot him an interrogative stare.. "What?" Damien inhaled deeply and raised his head to look at her.. "Rihanna I told you already, ignore her..she's a new employee" Rihanna folded her arm beneath her bossom, she didn't want to hear any of it.. Damien groaned out in defeat and walked to her once more, he held her shoulder and turned her to face him.. "Don't give me that look..come on smile, you know how much I hate seeing you this way
Damien arrived at the location his men just sent to him, he found himself in an empty street that was well illuminated by street lights.. A car pulled over next to him and his two personal bodyguards stepped out of the car, they also happened to be the guards from that night.. "Boss we got the wrong lady's address" Damien's intimidating grey orbs narrowed at them, the only reason he hadn't fired them was that they were the only ones who knew what the lady from that night looked like.. "Boss we searched for every ladies in the city with amber colored eyes..and we're down to ten..one of them lives in this neighborhood" Damien took in a deep breath, amber colored eyes, that was the only thing they could recall from that night.. He turned to leave for his car when he spotted a lady coming out of the building opposite him with a bag of trash.. He recognized her immediately or should he say he knew who she was at once, she was none other than the rude employee that resumed t
Olivia chewed on her nails feeling remorseful for what she just did, she could see how uncomfortable he was and suddenly wished to vanish into thin air.. She approached him slowly "I didn't mean to do that..I see you're in pain..let me help you check it out" Damien snapped his head to her in unbelief, was she insane? what sought of a lady was she? and what exactly does she want to check out? His long finger pointed to the exit, if she stayed any longer he couldn't tell what he was going to do to her.. Olivia hesitated to leave for a while until the door opened and a lady stepped in, she was the same lady who claimed to be Damien's girlfriend yesterday.. The takeouts on Rihanna's hands dropped to the ground as she rushed to Damien who was wriggling slowly in pain.. "Babe? what's wrong?!" Rihanna's gaze landed fiercely on Olivia who was standing aside, "What did you do to him?!" Damien reached his hand to Rihanna who led him to sit back on his seat, he raised his hea
Alexa's pupils dilated as soon as her eyes fell on the boy stretching forth his hands towards her, now she understood why his image wasn't leaving her head.. It was because he looked like someone she knew well, he was the carbon copy of her brother Damien Sterling! Meanwhile, Rihanna wasn't spared out of the shock, she completely forgot about the pain she was feeling a while ago and unknowingly got lost staring at the kid.. Alexa was the first to snap out of her daze when the ball was snatched away from her grip by Bianca.. "You! Rihanna this is the annoying kid i was talking about that broke my car!" Rihanna stood back up to her feet with the help of Alexa, was it only her that saw the resemblance between this kid and her boyfriend? Bianca tilted her head to the side staring at the two who were looking down at Kelvin like they've seen a ghost.. "Alexa is this Damien's... Her voice trailed off, she shook her head to clear off the thoughts she was having, this was a big
Kelvin stood on the dining table refusing to come down, Bianca sighed and placed the small bowl on the table.. "Do you have to be so difficult with me every single day? come down and have your meal" The door opened as Olivia stepped in with all smiles, however her smile slowly vanished when she saw Kelvin standing on the dining table.. "Olivia! thank goodness you're here..he's driving me insane..I'll step out for a few minutes, don't wait up for me" Bianca stepped out of the small living room leaving the mother and son alone.. Olivia threw her purse to the sofa and folded her arm staring at Kelvin who was still on the table.. The kid tilted his head to the side with a wide grin, he opened his arms wide for an embrace.. "Come on mummy don't force it, I know you can never be upset with me.." Olivia giggled, she walked to him and accepted his warm embrace that seemed to relieve her of all her stress.. "My baby..I missed you soo..much today" She carried him in her
Olivia raised her face to him in shock and unbelief, her boss was Damien Sterling? how on earth did she not know that? "You're so foolish Olivia!" she scolded herself mentally, how on earth was this possible? she has heard a lot of stories about the sterlings and how they trample on anyone who double crossed them.. And the young lady whom Kelvin broke her car was his sister? that explains the reason she hated them both.. Damien snapped his fingers and brought her out of her reverie.. "I know I'm every ladies dream but please don't include your annoying self by staring at me.." Olivia pointed a finger at him ready to snap at him only for him to raise his hand to stop her speech.. "Zip it! and go make me a cup of coffee" Olivia's lips curved up into a devilish grin, she walked slowly to his desk and placed both hands on it after which she leaned forward to him.. "Of course boss..I'll get your coffee right away" Damien leaned back on his seat staring at her skeptical
Kelvin walked into Bianca's room right after he heard her soft snores, he leaned to her and planted a kiss on her cheek.. "I'm sorry aunt..I'll be back before you wake up" He whispered softly and turned around leaving the room.. *** Kelvin narrowed his cute eyes at the man in front of him, he was currently in an eatery where his grandmother had set up four blind date for his mum.. He had a habit of checking the men out first if they were good enough of his mum or not but sadly this man in front of him wasn't ready to hear him out.. "Look kiddo! I don't know who you are..but I'm supposed to meet a lady today not you" The man said impatiently looking around as if searching for someone.. "The person you were supposed to meet today is my mummy..grandma arranged a blind date for her but she can't make it because she of work.." The man stood up from his seat in anger and walked out of the eatery.. However Kelvin giggled and ticked out his name from the list of men his gran
Kelvin flashed Xander one of his cute smiles that can make even the hard hearted people melt like butter.. "I can't find them" Xander looked around the eatery before settling his gaze back on the kid, he failed to see the mischievous smile that played at the corner of the kid's lips.. "You can't? do you know where you live?" Kelvin gave a nod and hopped down from his seat, he stood next to Xander and took his hands.. Xander looked down at the kid, he couldn't be wrong about this resemblance but Damien wasn't that kind of person, as far as he could recall, he has only one woman in his life.. *** Bianca sat up with a yawn, her half opened eyes looked around the room.. Her hand went to the back of her head that was banging hard, how did she fall into a deep sleep?... She left the room in search of Kelvin when she remembered that he hasn't had his breakfast.. "Kelvin" She called out several times but got no response, she went back into his room in search of him w
