He Okay?
No one in the floor noticed the man approaching and continued with their gossip."Are you going to keep standing there waiting for the thank you letter or going to work!" a thunderous voice rang through the floor.From their expressions they seemed to recognize the sound. And surely when they turned, their faces revealed traces of panic.He was an averagely short man with a big belly. His tie rested on his belly perfectly and his suit was also clear of creases. He had a stern look on his face and even though he had shaved, his white hair could be noticed still.They panicked not because of his stern looks but his position or rather his upcoming position. He was one of the directors of the company and the most eligible candidate for the vice CEO of the company. He was formally a CEO in a governmental organization and after he left, his choice to be part of KOLEX.co was a hot topic on the business world in the country and also the neighboring coTest!Stephany leaves Juma to his world and opens the door. She completes the setting and gives the office another look. She remembers something but, she doesn't seem so touched and waves the thought away.Knock! Knock!The knock startles Juma as he turns to the door. Her figure standing there with both hands in her pants pocket and one leg on the other, side leaning on the door seal, she looked like Desmond coming to see how he is doing. Thinking of his friend he let out a chuckle and shook his head. Is she even a lady? He cleared his voice and said;"That's a pretty good work over there", he said pointing at the other side of the office."The company requested for it, they wanted to change it but the interior designer's phone was off all morning", she lied with a deadpan face.'Its still morning, doesn't she know?' Juma Cain thought.It wasn't noon yet, so it was still morning and then his phone's notification sounded. Before he lost his cons
Stephany walked from the casual store to the sports wear store and the suit store where she chose more of the tux than office suits. She was in a good mood in the inside but outside she had an expressionless face. She did not want to smile or get angry. The people ogling at her raised all the hairs in her body.Juma had enough and he seemed to be satisfied with what he saw, so he only had one thing in mind. Invite her home but as her boss. Will she agree?"Those drama Male lead always rehearse what to say before facing the female lead", Desmond's voice sounded in his mind.He almost felt his blood flow in reverse. This bro of his was some cheesey guy. He wondered how he only ended up with one wife. What Male lead and Female lead?He saw those absurd.He took the private lift all through to the second floor then took a turn after exiting, left towards the last store Stephany was walking out from. She had nothing on her hands as their was two sales ladies and one salesman holding the b
BrokenWhat was wrong then? Why did he change?After Ben had invited her to the party and waiting all afternoon for Juma's call, she decided out of respect for the love. she had for Juma, to head to the party.When she entered thee hall, everyone started gossiping and whispering in groups as they stole glances at her.Almost all the third and second form students were present. It was normal for people to behave this way because people had always witnessed her closeness to Juma, a one single in highschool that every girl crushed on.Stephany walked to the food table and locked on some juice but before her hands could reach the bottle, she felt a tag on her dress. Someone had grabbed her dress.As tough and rough as she was, she pulled away."Rrrip!"The sound came from the dress. It was torn."Ooh!" everyone exclaimed.Luckily she was wearing a buggy basketball shorts in and unluckily, she was wearing it because everyone now could see it."What do you th...think" her words faded when s
Extended work.Stephany did not want the boys to linger behind her and she also did not want them to walk in the cold with her.Mainly, she did not want any attention to be drawn to her. She was in a bad shape and felt weak and hated herself for what she felt.January was still 45 days away and she believed it will be gone.15 year old Stephany slept in the next day and even her mother's roars could not make her awake from her sullen state."Yo!"Candy's cry brought Stephany back to reality. She was seated by the window at the Mall's Gallito's branch as she was bathed in the seeping sunlight.Candy was waving her hands in front of her face in playful manner as she continued when she saw Stephany's eyes dart to her."We've been sitting here for the past 10 minutes and haven't ordered yet, are we getting a take-out?""Oohh!" She answered with no interest whatsoever."Oh! And what does oh means?" Candy asked."Just order what you need. I
Contract Wife?Mangrove Courts.The cab cruised after the gate was opened into the compound in between the gated villas to the one with V515 plate on the gate."Ding ding!"The door bell rang.Ali went to the door and before he could open, Juma was already standing by the top stairs near his bedroom. He was wearing a sweatpant and a t-shirt tight at his arm muscles with in house slippers."Good morning," Ali greeted the guest with joy and in Swahili."Good morning. Sorry to disturb you, you will have to help me with these today," said the guest.Ali didn't even look surprised when he saw the guest with her bags.The guest was Stephany. She had twisted her natural hair today and left them hanging to her forehead.She wore sweatpants with it's hoodie top and had white sport shoes. Her face with no make up and her lips were tainted with a glowing lip balm."I saw the car out, hasn't your boss left?" She asked earning a raise of brow
MarriedAt the church entrance, a man walked in with a woman in a red bridal dress and a blue veil. They walked in the company of each other, arm in arm.In the church, Candy and Ali sat, each of them on each row as they stared at the door at the incoming couple.The pastor was at the altar with a Bible on his hand. His expression was remarkable as he looked like he couldn't hide the many questions in his head.Definitely, this was the first wedding he was to preside over with only two guests and one person in the tablet.Without any suspense, the couple were none other than Juma and his personal assistant Stella.Two weeks had passed in a blink and from the looks of it, Stephany had decided or amiably accepted the conditions on the contract to be Juma's contract wife....Yesterday when Stephany asked Candy to be present at her fake wedding, Candy had been stunned silly."Were you fed with love potion? Don't tell me you have fallen for Juma Cain
Questions."What was the bang all about? You two are having couple fights now!" Candy asked wide eyed as soon as Stephany stepped into the room."It was that loud?" Stephany stunned, asked in return.It was loud yet the devil did not complain? I mean he should, shouldn't he?Stephany's mind wondered.Candy gave her an eye roll but did not speak.The eye roll was clearly asking, 'Wasn't it loud???!'"Ain't you being so nosy?" Stephany asked seeing Candy's eye roll.Candy yet again did not reply."I was already walking out of the study when he reminded me to close the door behind me, like I would leave it open! What the heck?"Stephany ranted without letting out a breathe.Candy didn't know if she should laugh or cry when she saw her behavior leading to a little chuckle escaping her lips.Candy without makeup was still beautiful. She had cheekbones and little fat in her cheeks, shaped eyebrows and relatively long acceptable lashes.
Slipped!Stephany was grabbing some magazines from the book shelves when Juma walked into his study.He was holding a glass of water with floating ice cubes and didn't notice her as his eyes had lock on something else.The magazine on his desk. He had left no magazine there so it quickly attracted his attention as he walked with large strides to it.A glance and the next thing Stephany saw, he had thrown it into the bin.Stephany: ...?"Why did you do that?" Stephany asked.This was not the result she was waiting for!"What?" Juma asked as he sat."You threw away the Magazine. Why? I thought you would be interested in her," she said as she went to the other desk on the lower two steps part of the study.He shot her an icy glare and reacted to changing it quickly to a questionable look.He had just reacted icily thinking why everyone would think he could be interested in Linah. Then he realized that he was talking to Stella, so she might be talking about the company and not the other k
