Thanks Man.If Boniface wasn’t satisfied by the way Juma managed the company, he was welcomed to draft his resignation letter because Juma was an important personnel in the entire Company of Kolex.co.It was clear up to that point, that if Juma decided to keep the employee, which was Stella, even the chairman himself could not refute.Stephany understood this and she started to ask herself, of what could have happened if she kept on going against Cain, or if she successfully made him fire her. She felt her heart's birth fear.Fear for the ruthlessness of Juma Cain if she could have gone too far.“All our employees are team players. They don't sit down and focus on one thing. They rack their brains. If the baseless rumors could already see our aim in partnering with companies like Frankey’s Studio. Then they are not entirely wrong!”This statement made Boniface’s face twitch. If he was a fool, he wouldn’t have known if the statement was meant for him.Even
Can’t Take Your Guilty Face.After Astridge and Stella left the conference room, the both of them chatted like friends who had known each other as they went down to the mall.The lifts were placed in different corners and hallways. So at some floor they had to walk on the hallway to get to the lifts. People at the company were so shocked seeing Stella, the one they had taken to be a lesbian talk with a man.Stella was a busy lady in the company, this was because she had never been seen having chats with Jeffa who had been her assistant that long.When they reached the mall, they headed for the cafeteria.“So, if you were here for a week now, why did you not join the company then?” Stephany asked as they walked in.“Because the company doesn’t announce the time for someone’s arrival nor is the person given a specific time. Only a deadline,” Astridge replied truthfully.“This company’s management is mysteriously weird,”“You can say that again,” A
Burning Passion In The Office“I don’t feel good when I see your guilty expression. So, let's not go against each other, okay?” He said, his voice gentle like the waters of the spring, “I can’t take it.”Stephany did not reply but she nodded against him.She could feel his beating heart across his chest and she realized why he stopped. He is barely controlling himself.While still hugging her, he spoke, “I did not rage or act in favors, so can’t I have a reward?” He asked.“Reward?” Stephany was taken aback, “ When did we speak of getting a reward when you treat me like everyone else?” She asked against his chest.He chuckled. It was mellow and it rang in her ears like the only tempo of the world. She felt intoxicated by it and a smile crept on her face.He released her and cupped her face between his soft large palms and raised her face. His lips curved in a devilish smile. When her eyes traveled to his eyes, it was filled with burning passion and desire.Their faces were so close to
My Name Is Steff.Silence swept the room and no one spoke for a while. Stephany thought of how her mother had slapped her cheek just because she had retaliated against someone who went against her.Warm tears flowed down her cheek.It was his mother who had brought this upon her. Calling her a vixen.“When I gave my whole to someone, he threw it at the very end of a wrecking ball. So, I couldn’t live with the smashed heart forever and decided to collect its remains and carry on with my life.I pretty much went back to the life I had, where I cared about no one except my family. I hated the fact that I was only one girl but the one I was to rely on, only gave me a lecture”, she said.Stephany remembered how her mother could come at her room’s door every day just to tell her that she shouldn’t have divulged herself into teen romance. She was fifteen and all she could get was her mother not even taking her time to comfort her.“All I wanted from her was to even t
Something To Resolve From His Past.“Yes Miss Stella. My name is Steff and I am a Computer Artificial Intelligence programme that is installed to assist you with all your company’s needs. I can help you solve and answer tough questions about the company and the products, the names of the employees under each department, give you access to the potential employees surveillance records and many more. What is it that you want help with now, Miss Stella?” The computer AI named Steff said.Stella once again was rendered speechless by the computer AI. She was given her name. She was no fool to not know that Steff is the short form of her name, Stephany.Another thing that amazed her was how she talked. It had the same voice she heard when she was fifteen years old!Stephany turned to look at the faint Juma. When she saw him this time, she felt her heart melt into his safe palms for keeps. She was now sure he did not forget about his love and promises.She felt her tear
You Are Awake!For the third time today, Stephany found another clue to her hunch. She once again was touched. She looked at Juma who was lying peacefully and she could see his chest move up and down albeit slowly and unnoticeable.But since he was fine, Stephany breathed in relief.‘What happened back then? Am I the one haunting your dreams? Did you get that chest pain for feeling sorry for me? Did you not forget about me? What did you pass through to be amnesiac?’Many questions popped in Stephany’s mind that she couldn’t fathom. She felt weak since nothing could help her know what happened.When she looked at his eyes back then, they were empty of love and she was like a stranger to him. Probably, he felt like he had never known her or seen her before.‘Did he lose his memory before completing his exams?’Juma had promised to call her once he was done with the exams. The leavers party was an event that took place on the same day as they finished their
Juma's Real Illness Juma started feeling himself. His fingers moved one by one and then he tried to open his eyes. The harsh light in the room forced him to shut them quickly. He scrunched his brows while still closing his eyes and perked his ears since he still remembered that when he fainted, he was with Stephany in the room.But still, he couldn’t hear anybody. He slowly opened his eyes to let them adjust to the light and finally after some time, he could open them. His body was not weak and he stood up to a sitting position.As soon as he sat, he saw Stephany sleeping on the coach. She was lying just the way she used to lie when awake. Her legs were on the backrest of the sofa and her head was on the armrest and her left arm was hanging to the floor.Juma was stupefied that he did not know if he was to laugh or cry at the cute position Stephany was lying in. He shook his head, chuckling softly. Stella was not feminine at all.But he felt deep love for her in
His Own Tough Battle.Juma understood Doctor Khan’s concern. It would have been bad if he was concealing important clues that could help him fight his illness. So he decided to explain to him and come clean.Even though he knew that everyone else, especially Khan, knew how it was important for him to recover, no one could control the human mind. Just like Stella had told him, you can stop them from speaking but you can’t stop them from thinking it.He continued, “I have no reason why I named it Steff. But deep in my mind and heart, I felt that that name was fit for a female voiced programme. When I was in the United States especially when I started having dreams about this girl named Stephany, I couldn’t remember anything when I woke up,”“So, you felt it wouldn’t help?” Doctor Khan asked.“Yes. Everything seemed to be gone when I woke up and I couldn’t even remember a name or anything. Even the face was always blurry and the girl seemed younger than me. If I was
