2022-10-10 17:30:41What they think.
The day did not start as both had expected. They ended up quarreling even if they didn't want to."So, you clearly knew that I was bringing the company a problem with my scandal and you didn't feel like telling me?Does it mean that the meeting you scheduled this morning is to deal with the problem. And you wanted me to stay at home.The lack of communication means that you told them to block any information coming to me? This is ridiculous!"Stephany said. Juma was silenced but thankfully they were alone in the car. The entire journey proceeded in silence.When they reached the office underground parking, Stephany was the first to climb out of the car."See you back home!" That was her final word to Juma and he knew clearly what she meant. They were hardly going to see each other that day in the company and she was going to make sure of that.As she walked on, Juma's phone rang. Seeing the screen, what caught his attention was the ti

A Call From The Headquarters.After leaving Juma in the parking lot, Stephany went to the company through the normal employee lift as always.Everyone in the company was eyeing and gawking at her and she was sure that some of them had read or gotten a whiff of the rumor that had been plagued online.Like always, she did not bother about it as she rushed to her office. This time she wanted to dig into this information and learn who in the company is helping someone out there against her.When the clothes that she wore during the company’s launch were out, she didn’t have the reason to suspect anyone from the company. But, when the photo of her from the hotel the other day was released, editing out Juma like he didn’t exist at the time the photo was taken, she started to have some hunch on what was going on.Knowing Juma’s attitude, she didn’t divulge anything to him, giving the person a chance to get her reaction. The person had tried making her get out of her silence but she/he found

Mr. Chairman.When everyone heard what Juma said, they looked panicked except for Boniface and another man, dressed in a blue suit that was sitting next to the HR. Boniface had a smug look of gloat on his face. It seemed like he didn’t care the slightest bit of the hidden threat masked under Juma’s words.Also, he seemed like he had his own plan and that the plan had been successful and all he was waiting for was only his victory announcement.When Juma had turned his back to the department heads, the earlier mysteriously calm man was typing on his tablet again. Stephany watched him from the corner of her eyes and then turned only to be met by Juma’s gaze.Since he was seated and she was still standing by his side, Stephany was a little taken aback. Especially with the look he was giving her, like she was the only one in the room, with his right brow arched.Stephany hurriedly looked away only leading to the unseen smile on his serious face. Jeffa, who was going

His Decisions.‘Today, this place is so disordered. Is it because Cain asked them to stop the news? He is the boss, these old barbarians think they are still in the 50s where a CEO was at the age of 45 and over?’ Stephany scoffed inwardly.She couldn’t believe that these men today were being disorderly. She was never liking the fact that only men were the heads of the departments and could be the only one at the meetings. Yet, she knew her place as an employee and an insignificant person in the management of the company.Also, her gut told her that Juma had an effect on the arrangements.‘What is it that I don’t know? Does this company belong to your mother?’ Stephany turned her gaze towards Juma.He was seated silently and no one could know what was in his mind at the moment. Even though Stephany could tell he was surprised by Desmond’s call earlier and that did not escape her eyes.She could see some rage. ‘Why is he furious?’“So, you are saying that this employee doesn’t obey the

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

Overreacting Mother!"Mom!""Mother!""Grandma!"Three voices of Flavian, her husband, Jack Tse and her five year old daughter, Maya Clara Tse greeted the woman at the door as soon as the door was opened.The woman was wearing a pink suit handmade by the royal tailor and she matched a modern Dutchess with the hat that matched her pink suit.She was almost in her late fifties yet she still had a smooth face with no sign of wrinkles and she had light makeup.This woman was Flavian's mother, Mrs. Cherono Adams Namu. The mother of Juma and the eldest daughter, Camarah Candice Namu.She was the matriarch of the Namu family and grandmother to four grandchildren. She smiled when Flavian's family greeted her but her smile did not reach her eyes."And am glad to see you all," Mrs. Cherono Namu greeted her daughter back, hugging her, her husband and the young girl.After a few pleasantries with Maya, three other children came from the living room to the door."Cousin Maya!"

Who Leaked My Visit To My In-Laws?Flavian, Juma’s second eldest sister, of course knew that Linah would be joining to meet their mother soon and she had only come to inform her as a courtesy and also she had joined in at her press release with no intention but ended up giving her a leverage.“No problem big sister, I will definitely make it!” Linah said.When she said it, Linah’s tone made it sound like it was a mandatory promise that she couldn’t afford to not fulfill.After Flavian and her five year old daughter, Maya left the room, Linah Shoka furrowed her brows. She smiled in the next second to mask her feelings. She then stood up from the couch she was seated on and spoke,“Prepare my bath, my ride, clothes and finally get me some gifts for my mother in law!” She gave out the orders as her figure once again disappeared in the same direction she came from.Once she emerged, Linah was dazzling in a beautiful ruby donned diva dress and she had her makeup o

Aunty, You Should Not Say Betting!The car cruised back to Juma's villa and he drove directly to the underground parking garage that belonged to the villa.Stephany was sleeping and he saw the only best option was to use the lift rather than waking her up or using the stairs.Soon as the front lights shut, Juma came out of the car and was in time to see Candy who was walking down the stairs to the garage from the main door."Miss Candy! I didn't know you would be waiting?" He spoke as soon as she was a few steps to him.Juma was walking around the car to get Stephany from the car and take her into the house. Candy nodded and didn't answer as her gaze caught the sight of the sleeping Stephany."What is wrong with her?" She asked and her soft facial features turned hard in the next second and she sounded worried.Candy quickened her steps and headed to the car. Juma didn't care why she didn't greet him and understood her worries."She is fine, she is only tired from all the happenings o

What Might Be Behind Juma's Amnesia.Stephany knew that in no time, she would be forced to reveal herself to him and she saw no reason to deny being Stephany Lee in front of an elderly person like the school guard.She pressed Juma's hands in a meaningful way so as to prevent him from being too shocked and sent him a message that she will clear all that later.The guard was happy and then he took their tangled hands on his own and started chanting incoherent words and blowing air into their hands.The two were confused but Stephany smiled later. She realized the man was giving them his blessings and casting away evil that they might meet in their road to the future in the traditional way.When the old man was done, he left their hands and said, "I never knew you children would one day meet after what had happened. May The God be your guide,""Thank you!" Stephany said as Juma was finding too much that his mind could not register at all.It seems like Stel

Yes. I Am Miss Lee!“Would you tell me what is happening?” Stephany asked with worry, “You look like you have been in a forbidden land!” She added.She now started to have some spooky answers to what was going on. Definitely, she remembered that Juma was fine when they came and even when they first left the car. But, something happened the next second they stepped out of the main road to the path that leads to the gate.Juma stepped away again while Stella was still contemplating, not answering her question and he felt another twang and this time, he jumped to the other side of the white mark. He now felt like the question Stella had shot him made some sense. He did look like someone venturing a forbidden ground.The question that his mind couldn’t get to answer was; What kind of sorcery was it? Why were very strange things happening to him? And why him?Of course, even though Juma had these questions and he had discovered he can’t venture close to the school’s gate, he didn’t match

The Sudden Headache Attacks!While all the world was expressing their views for the number one trending news, unknown to Juma and Stephany of their views on them, Stephany was waiting for Juma to give her a reply.“Stella, indeed there are somethings that I should be telling you but it's such a long story and its contents are so complicated that I don’t know where to start or what to say and what not to say.” Juma said.He was forced to tell Stella his entire story now but how was he going to explain? There was too much that he wanted to only talk about after finding even a single clue to his past.He turned to Stephany and took her hands in his, Stephany had paused the video and they were not watching it anymore.“There are many things that I was only planning to tell you about later but it seems time is not on my side anymore. But, I hope you will understand if I don’t tell you everything for now,” Juma explained and his tone mirrored how he felt with the littl

Linah, Miss World's Press Release Reactions.Bridge Ways Mixed Day and Boarding school. Inside the staffroom.An old woman in her 50s wearing a flower dress was sitting on her desk in the open office and she wore a proud face, " This girl surely did it. She really has made us proud. She didn't disappoint as a student of Bridge Ways!""Mrs. Emelda is right. If I would have my student standing there in front of all those cameras and gaining attention from top brands and companies in the world, I would be kissing the heavens if I hear him or her say she is coming back!" Another female teacher who was younger, at least in her thirties, said happily."I Joy, I really envy you Mrs. Emelda. Your students seemed to have been blessed!" The female teacher went on."Yes they are surely blessed. I heard the top student of that year is now an award winning CEO!" A male teacher in a suit but with a pair of shorts said."Anyway Mrs. Emelda, do you think he will be visiting the school soon? People li

It Was Now Or Never.“If you weren’t sick, then how can you lose your memory during a comatose stage? Did the scriptwriter and the original writer of the Marvel Comic, Captain America, not do their best in research towards comatose?” Stephany asked.Her question at least softened his creases and Juma chuckled, “You really have the time to make a funny joke now?” He asked.But, Stephany raised her brows and said seriously, “It’s no joke! Didn’t Steve Rodgers wake up after, was it fifty years or over? And he was able to remember that he had promised his girlfriend a date!”Juma turned to look at her for a second and then turned his focus back to the road. He failed to form words to retort to her choice of reference. Did she have to use a science fiction movie and comic to be precise?“Maybe there is something that the doctors did to you during your comatose status. Or can someone develop some kind of illness during that stage?” Stephany racked her brain and s

I Have Tried!Stephany was jolted back by the phone’s ringtone and opened her eyes. Taking the opportunity of Juma’s daze to the ringing phone and their patted lips, she slipped from under him.“I am going to shower” she ran as fast as her legs could carry her into the bathroom.When she finally closed the bathroom door, she heaved a sigh of relief breathing exaggeratedly with her back against the door.“Phew! That would have ended up in another mess!” She mumbled to herself.But she hadn’t cooled down when she heard Juma’s voice from the other side of the door, “Why are you running away when your phone is calling?”His tone was filled with teasing and amusement; he barely hid them in his question.What? Was it her phone that was ringing? She didn’t even listen to the ringtone. All she wanted was to escape as far away as possible.“Who is calling me?” Stephany asked from the bathroom not opening the door.“Open up and take the phone,” Juma
