(The dinner from hell)

She was beyond confused and shocked learning about the flowers placed on her desk by Jacob before she arrived at the office. Ophelia's disappointment went down the drain the moment the ignorance about the situation came to light—someone was playing foul, foul and was clearly against her relationship with Jacob moving further.

Her brows furrowed as she brought out the rose gold dress which was way neater than she imagined, and wasn't in need of any ironing. All that was left was her hair and makeup, looking at the split ends she had it wasn't looking too promising—but she was determined to leave an impression on Mr Grayson's face, that even if she was a woman of low income she still had elegance.

‘But who would do such a thing??'. She asked herself again just thinking about the flowers and a soft sigh left her, there was no explanation as to why anyone would do such a thing—the only person close to being a suspect was her boss and he certainly wasn't interested i

    (The dinner from hell part 2)‘Good evening Mr Jacob. Meet my assistant Kathleen Hunter'.‘Oh she's more than just an assistant alright. It's a wonder she's able to last this long considering your strict work ethics'.‘She's very good at what she does sir'.Kathleen breathed a sigh of relief being introduced as Grayson's personal assistant and not just his woman of the night as she feared earlier. She took a deep breath again and used this opportunity to glance around the long buffet table where almost everyone was of high status and calibre, it definitely made her feel out of place.Grayson however conversed with the guests like it was a normal thing to do, these were his people—posh people, pristine people, eloquent and classy people and then there was her—an ex teen convict who lived in the slums of new York trying to make a name for herself. Her confidence went down the drain just seeing the people of luxury, knowing she couldn't be where they were no matter how she dreamt.Grayso

    (I have a date)Kathleen screamed the next morning waking up to a late alarm clock. It was spoiled and she forgot to change the batteries the night before, now she had overslept and an hour late for work.‘He's going to kill me...he's going to kill me'. She sang in frustration as she managed to put on an outfit without bothering to take a shower or brush her teeth—there was makeup wipes and mouthwash in her bathroom which was a quicker substitute, all this wouldn't spare her from the grave cause her boss was so going to bury her.‘Kathy!!'. She heard Mr Garrison's voice and banging on her door which made her scream silently as things were for sure not going to plan. She just had a week left, just a week left until she got a huge fat paycheck and now she was a at a risk of losing that same job .‘Hey Mr Gary'. She put on a wide grin as she opened the door fully dressed and ready to bolt as soon as she had the opportunity.He brought his hand forward, ‘Where's the money you owe me Kathy

    (Tired!!)‘What do you mean you have a date??'.‘Well... it's when two people who want to get to—'‘I asked a rhetorical question!!'. He yelled and she gulped hard, unable to understand why he was so pissed off about this. All she wanted was to not work overtime because she had a date and now he was pissed, but she wasn't backing down, she just wouldn't break Jacob's heart again.‘I can take the suits to the drycleaners first thing tomorrow sir'. She offered.‘Who's the guy?'.‘Pardon??'.‘Who are you going out on a date with?', he asked, ‘Jacob Hempstead??'.She frowned subtly, ‘I don't see how it's relevant but yes—he asked me out on a date and I said yes'.Grayson was trying his best to conceal his disdain, he hated the feeling of rage pumping through his veins, hated how bothered he was that she was leaving her job to go out with some colleague of hers, ‘Okay then. Do you want a pink slip??'.‘Sir??'.’I asked if you wanted a pink slip tomorrow Miss Turner'.‘No sir'‘What time is

    (A big mistake)‘I think I made a big mistake'. Kathleen muttered under her breath as she finally freed herself from Gloria's arms, right after crying for an hour and half. She had a throbbing headache, her neck hurt and her eyes were as sore as ever—this was the end of it all, she lost the job of a lifetime and was down to being the stark broke Kathleen again....It was only a matter of time before Mr Garrison started bothering her again for the new rent payment.‘You didn't make a mistake', Gloria stroked her best friend's hair, ‘You broke down and you did what any rational person would do. You lashed out and you let your boss know about the unfair treatment he's putting you through—i'm sorry you're going through this Kathy'.Kathleen sniffled, tucking her hair behind her ear, ‘Like it's just not fair. He does these kind of things, trying to sabotage me and i just don't know why'.‘Maybe he's jealous'‘He can't be jealous'‘Well we can't rule out that possibility'‘What possibility L

I can't do this right now'.He tried to leave but then she placed a hand on his chest stopping him, ‘Come on Gray. We need to talk'.‘About what??'‘About us'‘There is no us Charisse.

Ophelia shrugged after biting her sandwich hours later in the employee's lounge.Kathleen's eyes darted towards the door and smiled nervously seeing the other staffs look at her awkwardly, then she sighed, ‘Yeah I don't think he feels sorry. There's just something off about him and even jac confirmed it....Mr Grayson isn't a nice man at all'.‘Speaking of Jac', Ophelia chuckled, ‘Heard you're going out on another date tonight...also heard you both had a steamy sesh last night'.Kathleen frowned, certainly Jacob wouldn't tell Ophelia what happened between them did he, ‘Where did you hear that?'.‘You're working here honey', Ophelia responded, ’Rumors fly like cherry blossoms in Autumn season. I'm glad you're finally with the man of your dreams'.‘Yeah', Kathleen's smile was wrinkled, ‘You could say something like that'.Jacob was a nice man and all.

    (She's my assistant)Grayson got back from work to his girlfriend on the couch, wearing his robe wondering who let her in but then he remembered how she always had a passcode—making a mental note to change the locks, he took off his jacket and Charisse rushed to take it before it was left on the arm of the couch. She then proceeded to kiss him but noticed how he pulled away slightly, her lips landed at the corner of his lips instead.A scowl appeared on her face, ‘Is something wrong??'.‘Why would you think that?'. He asked carefully avoiding her piercing gaze as he took off his tie.‘For one you don't want to kiss me'.‘I'm tired Charisse'‘That doesn't stop you from kissing your girlfriend'.‘I haven't had a shower'She scoffed, ’Is something wrong?? You don't want to kiss me, you don't look happy to see me and most of all....I heard you gave my chocolates to some bitch'.‘She's my assistant'.

    (She's my assistant part 2)The last thing Kathleen expected to know was that her boss had a girlfriend. Charisse Watson, she was tall and blonde with nice blue eyes and amazing legs—she had on a chanel two-piece and red bottoms which Kathleen was sure were the real deal, something about Charisse but made her feel insecure immediately.She felt a hard lump in her throat as she dropped the icepack on the table and proceeded to leave immediately before something catastrophic happened. She was embarrassed to say the least, finding out her boss had a girlfriend made her uncomfortable and she felt worse knowing he probably cheated on her with their one night escapade.‘Oh God'. She raked her hands through her hair in frustration. If Grayson cheated on Charisse with her then she was no different from the other women she despised, she was a lot of things and a homewrecker was certainly not one of them.Charisse frowned as she glared at her boyfriend whom she walked in on getting his neck tou

    (The Final End)Two weeks later and Kathleen could be seen at the block's cookout organized by everyone in the apartment building to celebrate Nana Willow's birthday, she was ill and in her final days, and instead of spending it in the hospital she wanted to be around the people she loved and cared about.Plates started to pass around until it got to her, the smell of the best cheese steak sandwich from Devante's wafted into her nostrils and she could feel her mouth water just looking at it. Next to her sat Joana and her adorable twelve year old, Wallace was trying to find an excuse to play with the other kids whilst his mother was busy getting enamoured by Bobo, the dog walker from next block.‘So how's life treating you huh?', Mr Garrison asked as he took a seat next to her, ‘You know we miss you around here'.Her brows arched, ‘Come on...almost a year ago you wanted to throw me out on the streets. Don't play favors now that I've leased my apartment now'.‘Well that friend of yours

    (Stay away from my son part 2)‘No??'‘No'‘What do you mean No?!'.Kathleen sighed deeply, this was like a movie, ‘Look here Mrs Hunter—I am not what you think I am, a golddigger. I love Grayson and considering how he was the one who chased me until I became his girlfriend I think you have an idea on what it is'.Evangeline pursed her lips as she placed a blank cheque on the table, she slid it over to Kathleen's side of the table, ‘That's a blank cheque right there.... anything you need... whatever you want...it could be a million dollars, name your price. Name your price and I'll give you what it takes just to stay away from my son'.Kathleen stared down at the cheque feeling almost insulted, the least Evangeline could do was be original and try something else that wasn't from the obvious plot of a movie, she chuckled softly, ‘You know this would've been the offer of a lifetime but why would I choose to take what you're offering, knowing fully well that your son can give me double?'

    (Stay away from my son)Grayson was trying to get rid of his house hunger by having almost a gallon of fruit loops and milk, he was tired and now unemployed. It felt strange having breakfast all by himself by this time of the day, when he heard someone stomping towards him from behind and turned around to Kathleen, she wasn't happy, he smiled.‘Morning babe'.‘You told me everything's okay?!!'. She cried out.He shrugged, ‘Everything is okay. You're back from work early'.She winced, ‘Cut the crap Gray! Of course I'm back from work early cause I fucking got fired! I got a promotion and in a week I loose my fucking job all because my boyfriend couldn't give me a heads up about him losing his position!'.Her eyes were turning red by the minute, he pursed his lips losing his appetite immediately as his cereal turned soggy, ‘I'm sorry and yes—i stepped down as CEO'She gasped, 'Why would you do that?! I thought you loved your job more than anything Gray....more than me!'.He frowned deepl

  • My One Night Stand WIth Mr CEO   Chapter 89 The New CEO

    (The New CEO)November 31st, 10pm to be exact, Grayson Hunter stepped down from his position as the CEO of Hunter's Group. He worked half of his life to be here, missed out on the fun of being a young man, never spent Christmas or his birthday with anyone, almost developed a eating disorder with his constant lack of a balance meal and all for what? all for his father to throw it away with some stupid marriage proposal.He didn't care, even if he worked his butt off to become the CEO he didn't care and he would do the same all over again—throw it all away if it meant he couldn't be with Kathleen. He was successful enough on his own, he had his own money which meant he didn't need his father's inheritance, he was rich enough to take care of himself and take care of his woman.He wasn't leaving Kathleen for anything, not even the job he loved most. A sniffle escaped him as he could feel the tears brimming in his eyes, ‘Take me somewhere else'. He instructed the driver in a icy tone.‘Sir

    (Don't marry your assistant)It took a lot of contemplation but with enough pressure from Kathleen he finally managed to get into the car, dressed in a simple royal blue shirt with two buttons down and casual pants. Royal blue was his mother's least favorite color, she usually said the color reminded her of commoners in the most disdainfully way possible and he loved to piss her off.The drive lasted an hour before he got to his father's mansion. The Hunter family house, a sigh left his lips as he got out of the car, standing in front of the white mansion and feeling a dreaded sense of loneliness just looking at it. He hadn't been here in almost two years, he hated it, the two pillars that held the porch together up to the main door, the long bushes of carnellas that led up to the backyard which he was mildly allergic to but no one cared—he hated every single one of it, the stupid bright chandelier that once fell on his leg and his father had to tell him to act like a man and stop wai

    (Wallace)Grayson frowned deeply seeing the list of potential candidates for the position of his new assistant—Incompetent they all were, unimpressive and most of all they weren't Kathleen. She'd done such a good job being his assistant that a replacement just felt like a let down, trying to fill up a void space.He flipped through the pages of each personal information when Theresa suddenly walked into his office with a stack of files, placing it on his table even though he didn't instruct her to. His brows arched as he looked up at her, ‘Pardon??'.‘These are the breakdowns you asked for sir'. She muttered in the most stoic way possible that it almost felt like a mocking sarcasm, ‘Unfortunately the assistant supervisor isn't here to bring these herself'.It subtly sounded like she was trying to insult his work ethic, and he knew Kathleen wasn't one to slack on the job, ‘It isn't the assistant's job. It's your job'.‘Sorry sir'. She nodded.He was already annoyed, he hated the blatan

    (Babysitting Wallace)Grayson woke up the next morning before Kathleen to get ready for work. It was her day off which meant she had all the time in the world to rest, a smile crossed his lips as he walked out of the closet minutes later all dressed up after taking a shower to still see her clearly asleep with her curls sprawled over the pillow.He felt like a married man, she felt like his wife. He wanted their relationship to be like this forever, smirking as he adjusted the cufflinks on his sleeve. Kathleen rolled on and about the bed to the edge, he sat down and brushed a strand off her face before leaning down to kiss her cheek.Her eyes opened slowly, ‘Good morning'.‘Mmmh', he kissed her lips next, ‘I'll be back soon okay??'.‘I'll miss you'. She murmured still hazy.'I know', he replied kissing her again, ‘Don't forget you have your babysitting job today'.It finally clicked and she jerked up to her feet in a mode of panic, ‘Oh shit I forgot!! I need to go...oh it's not until

    (The babysitter)Evangeline took a sip of champagne as Helena Watson joined her in the restaurant. A sharp brow lifted seeing as Helena had on the same faux coat as hers, she hated that, she hated duplicates of her and Helena Watson wasn't short of a dupe.‘Fancy seeing you here Eva', Helena drawled as she took a seat, ‘I haven't seen you in a while'.Evangeline frowned, ‘You've only met me once at The Le oud's art show. To what do I owe this meeting Helena? I was told it's beneficial'.‘It's about our kids', Helena delved straight into the point, ‘I'm proposing an arranged marriage'.Charming, Evangeline thought as she took another sip of her drink, ‘I'm listening....'*********Kathleen let out a moan as she felt his fingers in-between the walls of her special place. She playfully slapped his shoulder which made him laugh and finally back off as they were just having a wonderful time in the bathtub, her hair was wrapped up in a large bun with curly strands escaping at the front and

    (Mommy issues Part 2)Kathleen wasn't sure how it happened but before she knew it she was on his bed, stark naked with his mouth on the side of her neck placing soft kisses.‘You were good today babe'. He whispered before kissing her so hard on the mouth that it took her breath away.She smiled as he broke away, ‘I'm never letting you do that again'.‘Do what??'.‘Seduce me', she stroked the undercut of his hair, ‘I'm worried about you Gray'.‘Can we not talk about me right now?', he kissed the corner of her mouth, ‘I feel like we should go another—' He was interrupted by the sudden ringing of his phone, ‘Ignore it'.He tried to kiss again and the phone wouldn't stop, she laughed softly pushing him away from her with gentleness, ‘You should answer that. I'm going to make coffee'.‘Stay', he demanded, ‘I'll be back in a minute'.She watched him leave not before he lightly tapped her buttocks in a playful manner, making a mental note to get her shots immediately to avoid conception.
