“Listen up everyone,” Gabi said as she barged into the board meeting room, she seemed very excited because indeed she had great news for the company.

“I’ve got a gig for us and it’s a big one!” She jumped like a 15 year old girl receiving a brand new car as her birthday present. I sighed heavily because the fact that I was here witnessing all this bullshit just pissed me off

“What is it Gabi? You’ve got to say something” Nate, the guy from the cafeteria who was her number one admirer rushed to her side, eagerly waiting for his eye candy to sprout nonsense and he’d still worship her. I was like, oh please… just wait till she embarrasses you and then you’ll know your boundaries 

“Yes well, the senator for oil and gas is moving to Konan city and she wants a renovation! And we are going to be there, this Friday to discuss the plans and how she wants it to look like but I want us to make like a model we will use to pitch our idea to her so we can get the job”

“That’s so awesome!”

“We are going to nail this!”

“Lets get creative!”

That was all I could hear, it seemed like everyone was full on excited about this job. I hope they do it well though, I’m not going to be around anyway…

“Don’t go thinking nonsense, you know we need you” A rasp voice said from above me and I looked up to see Ray

“Dude, she said She doubts my credibility. You guys got this, let Jerry come up with some models and you’re good to go” I shrugged 

“But then when it comes down to presentation, you’re the top notch. I didn’t even know you were saying nonsense that day until she pointed it out. Now, what would we do if we had contenders there and they were as good as you huh? What would we do?” He crossed his arms and waited for an answer

“First of all, no one is as good as me. Second of all, if that happens then you guys will fail and she would be upset and lessen her stock up bitchy attitude, as long as I don’t get fired I have no problem with whatever you guys do over there” 

Friday…

Main land…

People as such a pain in the ass you know. I sighed as I looked around the senator’s waiting office, we were in her house and currently waiting to pitch our idea to her. Some of our top contenders are present and I can tell that they have good models and materials to win her over, I think it’s about time Miss Gabi understands that life isn’t all about winning, if you don’t fail then you won’t learn from your mistakes. I just want to see her cry when she misses this opportunity, Ahhhh! I just can’t wait to see her perfectionist life style crumble to ashes and that’s why I agreed to come in the first place, but I’m not doing anything, I’m not even going to say a word to the senator, let the others handle it. That’s my motto for today

“MRC? You’re up next” The care taker of the house signaled for us to enter. It’s show time…

Theo smirked as he prepared for the drama ahead, he sat where he could see her in all of her glory, where she would speak highly and then be disappointed. After all, she said she didn’t want to be like other presidents of the company, she wanted to be in the field with her workers and she wanted to win along side them, bla bla bla. Well she’s going down, because it’s not all about brilliant ideas, if it were that then other contenders like GOC would surely win the senator over with their high priced materials and luxurious model. No, it’s not about the idea, it’s about the convincing, the sweet talk that would make someone bend to your every rule. She just doesn’t get it.

Few hours later…

They tried, but I could already see that the senator was already thinking about the GOC's model, there was simply nothing they could bring to the table to make her change her mind. That’s GOC for ya…

“You’ve done well Miss Gabi, all of you. But you see, I want something much more sophisticated and you are just not giving me what I want. What you are offering here is comfortable, good life but that’s not what I want, no no, I want people to be dazzled from the moment they walk into my house, I don’t think your company is going to give me what I want, thank you for your time but I’m sorry. You’re just not the one” She shrugged and I could see faces starting to fall, this is what I anticipated! Now where is she…

I turned to my boss and there she was… It took everything in me to contain my laughter in this awkward moment. Just imagine you tearing up from laughter when your company just got rejected from a big deal worth chunk of money. Wait a minute… chunk of money??

Gabi you had better not loose this deal because it’s whole chunk of money!! I turned to Gabi with a serious look on my face and I tried to get her attention but it seemed like she was already thinking of another way to win the senator “But senator, if we go through this one more time, you’ll love_” 

“Gabi that’s enough. I’ve heard enough now if you don’t have anything more to say then you may leave” The senator said with a Stern voice.

I admit, it was fun watching everyone’s sad faces and Gabi’s cold rejection but I can’t just let a big bonus pass me by, I could do a lot of things with that bonus money we would get. 

I can’t let things end this way...

    "Ma’am if you’ll permit me, are you the only one that would be staying here?” I asked and all eyes turned to me. This might be a good chance to show myself.“Actually, I’ll be moving in with my_” She got interrupted when the door cracked open and a teenage girl, probably 16 walked into the room“My daughter. Everyone, this is my daughter Lilly.” The senator smiled as Lilly came to a halt beside her“Hello everyone. Good day mother, Gretta told me you were done with your interview work so I wanted us to have lunch and I could see the designs myself”Every single thing she said was out of pure innocence but her eyes just kept jabbing into mine, she wouldn’t take her eyes off mine for a second, even when her mother gave her a response.She’s my winning ticket, I just know it.“Miss Lilly, you said you wanted to see the designs?

    “Dude you’ve got to tell us how you scored that deal, it was so obvious that the senator was going for GOC. What made her go with us?” Ray asked for the nth time as I gulped down my beer.Yep, you guessed it right, we’re at the bar, unlike the clubs in Bene, this place is just like my second home. You’d practically find me here any time I’m not working, it’s a good place to score a chick too. I come here to hang out with my friends and have a good time, it’s like our celebration corner and I know the guy who runs this place pretty much. “Its simple, I saw you guys failing and I stepped in to help. This means a big pay check is coming in soon” I smiled“Cheeky. Well, you’re the man, if you can’t get through to the mother then get through to the daughter. It’s that easy Ray” Jerry sipped his drink as his eyes roamed the bar “Aey! Look who’s learning from the boss, what have you been teaching this boy Theo? I hope you haven’t corrupted his eyes” Ray said

    It’s been 2 months since Ray started dating Lucy. Perfect couple I tell you, if only she knew this was all a game. He’d pester me and say stuff like how I’ve lost my crown, but I’ve just been holding it all in.

Once I got there, I saw all the hot ladies at work just lined up and listening to some bull crap of his, even Reiner is amongst them. I can’t believe he'd go to her so quickly…“Hey there ladies, how are we?” I smiled as I wrapped my arms on the ones closest to me“Hey Theo” they all chorused.“Now, I wouldn’t like to interrupt but, you know if Gabi finds you here

I’m super grateful Lily isn’t around because I don’t need pestering today. It’s all work and supervision, we’re checking on all the supplies and making sure everything is intact.“So far so good, everything is going fine. Please Ray and Nate I want you to stand by and watch them input the golden chandeliers and other accessories. Jerry and Sasha, you go take care of the rooms. Theodore, you’re with me” Eh? What now??“I said you’re with me” she tilted her head and I just stared at her. No way am I going anywhere with you, you’re evilll!!!

After tonight, I think I’ll break up with her and make way for Reiner, Damn that girl is s- to- the-e- to- the- xy! That ass needs some groping from papaI smirked as I blow dried my hair and applied some cologne before walking out. I have no idea where we’re going actually, she’s the one picking the place. In as much as I hate the kind of things she likes, she should at least pick a golfing course. You wanna Know why?I’ll answer that for ya, so I can always wrap my arms around her whenever she wants to hit the ball, it would be like I’m trying to guide her grip you know… sly isn’t it?I smirked at my thoughts as I walked out of my apartment and got into my car.Then I drove all the way

    Meanwhile…Theo’s POV“Do you think he’s done it?” Jerry asked as he placed his beer on the table.“What’re you talking about? Do what? Who is even doing it?” I scowled“Oh don’t act dumb with me Theo! Today’s Friday, Ray took uhm… what’s her name again?” He came to an abrupt stop and went deep into thoughts while I just started blankly“Well whatever her name is, he’s hooking up with her tonight and it’s game over for you. First we lose our money and then you lose your tittle as the number one bad boy and respected Playboy I’ve ever known. I never supported the Playboy thing but I certainly don’t want you to go down like this, please tell me you have a plan. Should we go bust them up? Call the police and say they’re smoking pot so they get interrupted? You know what baffles me the most?” He said as he lo

    I groaned as my eyes fluttered open. The pain was coming from my stomachI leaned forward to find a sneaker laying nonchalantly on my torsoI turned to the only culprit in this house who would do this to me“What’d you do that for!” I whinedJerry’s red eyes blared at me “Pick up your damn phone!” He said before submerging back into his cozy blanketMy head snapped to where I kept my phone as I heard my ring tone blazing through the speaker.*Light it up like dynamite! Whoah oh!* I was tempted to join in but I know my singing this early in the morning would earn another sneaker being thrown at me.Dynamite… it was a good jam back when I was young, oh well.I picked up my phone and clicked the answer button without looking at the caller ID“Its me” A rough husky voice spoke from the other end“You who?” I scowled but I was shocked at how rough my voice was. Maybe it's because of Lucy, probably sucked her nips too har

    Previously on play boy's heart…“Okay then, let’s hit the road” we got into the car and zoomed off.The trick about the slip is that I realized the Bene flyover close to the check point has 3 different interlocks, but when you throttle your engine in the third section it’s sound echo's higher in the third interlock and that deceives the cops and they go chasing a ghost car, it helped me back then when I knew I was at wrong end of law, that was a long time ago guys.So we got to the ferry station, boarded a ferry back to Bene and we got back to my car. I kick-started the engine and we drove close to the Bene checkpoint, I slowed down because I wanted the police to see him, I wanted to laugh at D, just seeing him quiver in fear, that should be a fair punishment since he called me just to be his driver. But then I realized that I would get punished as well for taking this damn criminal in my car!Oh shit! And

Just looking at magazines can be a really interesting job I tell ya, It’s not like my Job’s got nothing to it, I’m just so creative that I tend to be lazy a times. Come to think of it, have you ever noticed that creative and intelligent people tend to be really lazy? They’d just lie tummy flat on the couch and watch Anime all day, and yeah anime is still a thing in this era, like how could it not be? Although Hentai is what groomed us all LOL, don’t do it if you don’t want to.Okay so back to me being lazy and reading a magazine, I really have no vibes for today, it’s like Monday morning just drains the life out of you, after such a great weekend of partying and getting high, you get to wake up to a boring Monday morning at work.

    Gabi’s POV…Coming down to the last days of this project’s completion, I’ve come to understand the people of this place, why they do things they ought not to be doing, why there is clearly not a single school in the big town and how it’s basically people just trying to do anything just to get by. Now I get why that boy attacked me and stole my purse, if he had the proper guidance and education, he wouldn’t have done that. There’s not even a good mall here where people can come get foods and find a place to work, what I don’t understand is how, How can this once flourishing town be overshadowed with more than 12 Casinos and 45 hotels but not a single foundation to help those who are in need? I literally don’t get this, it’s like those people who live in main Land and squander money are inhumane! It’s not like I’m totally against them, no they’ve worked hard for their money and they simply d

    I agree, me and Gabrielle have been facing some issues and it’s not nice to keep getting on the nerves of your prey so I’m going to try and make up for everything, even though I’m not sorry about any of those incidences, we are just not alike and I don’t hesitate to show it, but… Remember I’m trying to win here and gain lots of money so I really need to set aside our differences for the time being, I’m going to TOLERATE her notorious behavior but first let’s get on her good side okay?“Uhm guys if you’re down for some chilling, I know a place around the area with good booze and entertainment”“Ugh sure, since we’re done with work for today and we are in Limpopo so we might as well have fun right?

    “… With that being said, we all know that we’ve had an ongoing contract with one of our clients concerning the renovations of some certain renowned buildings in Limpopo. I think you had that contract going on before I arrived in the company, it was precisely under the care of Mr. Pevesh who isn’t with us anymore as he has been promoted to the board of directors the week after I assumed my position as regional President of MRC in Konan city. I recently received the report that the project is in its final stages and I would like you, my elite right hand to come with me to supervise the final designs of the buildings and see if we need to step up the interior designs because I find Mr. Pevesh’s recommendations a little unsatisfying and he seemed to have calculated the budget for 4 months but this project extended for one more month so Cassie I want you to inform the finance team of this situation so we could get some more funds to finish this projec

Honestly even though the day didn’t go as planned, I know I’m glad I didn’t get fired. Well, even though I don’t really care pfft! Like I said before, I can live without a job, maybe I’d start pro gambling and be that dude dressed in all black that makes the whole room go silent when he steps in, I’d probably go to the deep dark depths of Limpopo and rule the underground, but that’s not a real flashy life you know what I’m saying?
