KEIA

Getting bafk to my office and desk, I tried focusing on the work he had given me but my mind was not at rest at all. That was because I kept thinking. Was he angry at me because I was late, or was he disappointed?

There had been no signs of frustration, but that only made things a lot harder. Considering how silent he was, reading his mind would be extremely difficult, almost impossible. Shaking my head in an attempt to smap myself out of the chaos my mind had gotten into, I better myself.

"Focus, Keia," I whispered to myself but the more I tried to concentrate, the more I kept thinking about Sawyer. The way he looked so calm, and composed, indifferent. I got to work immediately and began typing up the reports.

When I was dome, I quickly checked for errors. But yet again, the words all seemed blurry and my fingers moved like they had something else that wasn't me controlling them, almost as if they had a mind of their own. I double-checked the figures but most times I got lost. My

    v SAWYERStaring at the minute hand of the clock, it seemed as if each tick marked every second that she was late. I kept checking the wall of the clock, then my watch as though either of them would tell a different time from the other. But it was altering right in my face, she was late. Where the hell was she then? I wondered. I was worried, not angry. My mind wouldn't stop going over all sorts of reasons why this was happening. Did she quit the job or did this have to do with the morning traffic. Or maybe... the thought sent a chill running through me. Maybe Artemis got her. The thought of my brother interfering made my stomach roll. Artemis wasn't the type of person who left things alone, especially if he thought they gave him control. But I told myself that considering what she had gone through, she wasn't going back to him any time soon. I didn't think there had been any sort of communication or connection between the both of them lately. Even as I thought abou

    KEIAI'd noticed something the whole time since we'd come here. He'd been staring at me. I noticed it the moment we sat down to it but I tried to ignore it. I thought that was because of my being late. But I had apologised, right? I asked myself, but there still wasn't an answer about it yet. Maybe he was still mad about everything, I thought. I kept my eyes on the plate and focused instead on every bite of food as though it were the most interesting thing in the world. I had nowhere else to look and nothing else to do other than eat. His eyes didn't leave me. They didn't waver, and it felt like he was studying me. Each time I looked up at him, my heart jumped just a tiny bit because they were still focused on me. He was just there... watching. It made me uncomfortable because my mind soon began to go over everything that had happened. Why was he staring at me so hard like I was doing something wrong? My mind went back to me coning Kate today. Maybe he hadn't accepted my apology and

    KEIAWhen he told me that he expected me to have lunch with him there, I was too shocked to day anything at first. Was that impulsive? Or was there really something behind it? I was forced to think he'd been impulsive because of the awkward drama that had happened back there but something in his eyes told me that it was more than that. It couldn't just be an awkward drama. I had opened my mouth to say something and maybe ask why he had even though I was going to agree to that but he cut me off before I could say anything. "If you're not going to listen to me, then maybe you should quit." I was so shocked by his words even though he sounded so calm, so matter-of-fact, as if he had all the power here. It was very clear from the foregoing that he was trying to make this command and not a request. And it was making me angry, but I had to clench my teeth and hold back my anger because I didn't want to do anything rash and destroy the way we had been relating. It was tense, to say the lea

    KEIAMy whole body was buzzing with frustration when I walked into the house. I didn't know how I was going to call myself down because of how angry I felt. I was so angry that the moment I walked through the door, Liana looked up with her eyebrows raised. I could tell she was already worried about me but I didn't need anybody to do that for me. She was sitting on a couch, scrolling through her phone but the moment she saw my face and how agitated my movement was, she quickly set the phone down. "Good evening," I muttered before quickly throwing my purse on the couch and walking into the bedroom, still shaking with anger. I collapsed on the bed and let out a heavy sigh. I had no idea if I was going to be able to continue this way, I said to myself before pushing the thought away quickly. I was just angry and sometime in the future, probably very soon, I would get my things in order and hope things worked out for the best. The door opened and Liana walked in

    KEIAHis voice on the phone was calm and collected as always. "Keia, I need you to pause that report you're working on. There is a new project on ground and it requires immediate attention." My brows arched immediately. I was confused. "A new project? But I'm just your secretary. Isn’t that more for your personal assistant?" I didn't hide the emotions as I spoke to him now. He needed to know that I wasn't just going to be quiet and take in everything he told me without questioning it. There was a pause and I imagined him giving me that same cold and unamused look that I saw often. I thought he was going to ask me not to worry about it but then he said. "Just save your work and come to my office." Those were his words before he hung up. He didn't even allow me to reply. Was that his way of coercing me into doing something he needed me to. He couldn't accept that this was his fault. I didn't have any other option so I just got up and saved my file and stood up. When I was done smoot

    SAWYER Sitting in my office, I glanced over at Keia's desk through the glass wall. Even after what she had told me last time, she was still late today again. She was giving me reasons to suspect that she was lying, and that her lateness was habitual. She had rushed in and apologised to everyone she passed. I could tell from the look on her face that she was clearly stressed. But I didn't care much about her being late, I was irritated for another reason altogether. And that was wanting to see her. I was mad at myself for feeling like that but there was nothing I could do about it. The first time we met, it was nothing but a fleeting moment. And from the look of things, it was clear she didn't know I was the man from that night. It was just a night anyway, no names and no faces to remember, maybe for her, but not for me. She never mentioned it and I wasn't about to ask her. But the thought kept nagging at me. Did she ever think about it or was she just pretending it never happened?

    KEIAArtemis turned to me sharply with that glint of madness in his eyes. "You and I need to talk, right now..." he turned to Sawyer. "I know I am in your office but I would like some privacy please." I didn't let Sawyer reply before thundering back. "I am not discussing anything with you. You better get out of here." I said, hoping he wasn't going to prove stubborn, as he always has. "I am afraid I can't go if she's this uncomfortable with you. I need to be around if anything happens." Artemis’s brows rose, he was in shock. "What are you implying, Sawyer. That I am going to beat her up?" He asked. Sawyer crossed his arms and returned his glare. "Who knows? Might be the same reason you both aren't together anymore." The look on his face told me he was fighting the urge to punch Sawyer. But I was surprised Sawyer had stood up for me. Artemis turned towards me and continued. "You should not be here. You shouldn't be working for him. Is this your own way of getting back at me?" H

    SAWYER I still found it very hard to believe what I had just heard. Keia and Artemis were not together anymore. She had actually said it herself- that they were not married anymore. I was shocked because I hadn't heard about it, Artemis had said nothing about it this whole time and if the confrontation had never happened, I was never going to know. When Keia admitted that, it hit me like a shock and it made me stumble a bit. I covered it with a laugh in an effort not to show how surprised I was. "Divorced, huh?" I said to myself while making my way out of the office. I wondered what he had done to her. Their conversation was so heated and nothing about it seemed pleasant at all. She was so angry with him, and he wasn't about to back out either, if I hadn't asked him to leave. God knows what he would have done to her if I wasn't there. I was glad I hadn't listened to him when he had asked me to leave."This was certainly interesting." I mused to myself as I made my way down the hall

    KEIAI did not need a seer to tell me that I had annoyed her when I finished work that evening. I had gone to her office in the afternoon so we could get lunch but she was fast asleep and I did not want to make her anger any worse. And when I finished work late that evening, I expected to go back home with her but she was already out of her office and nowhere around when I got down. I knew what was going on and it was all my fault. I had been too hard on her late today and if anything, I had to apologize. That was because she did not deserve the way I had acted, not one one it. She was doing all she could to avoid me and as much as I hated it, I knew I deserved it. Before heading home, I stopped by a gift store but as soon as I got out of the car, I was confused because I did not know what she liked so I bought a little bit of everything. I got a bouquet of fresh Roses, a box of her favorite chocolate and even a small plush Teddy that seemed childish for sure but then I thought she m

    KEIAI was already feeling so bad before I went into work because the day had started out terribly and I was not in the mood for anybody's nonsense at all because of what had happened the night before. Even till morning, I will still unable to snap out of the anger that had taken hold of me because of the things he had done. I was so angry about his childish behavior and the fact that I did not get enough sleep was not even helping matters at all. The moment I stepped my feet into the company building, I could already feel the tension bubbling under the surface and I hoped there was nobody who was going to make it worse for me, somebody who was going to make the tension that I was trying to hold in to explode. I just hoped that was going to be the case because I would not hold back if anything like that happened. I was tired of not telling people to go to hell with their taunts and not putting them in their place. I was making my way to my desk when one of my colleagues decided that

    KEIAI did not have the slightest idea why he was acting this way and for some reason I was made to think that he was possessed overnight. I tried to think of anything that would have made him act this way but nothing came to my mind, but none of it was my fault because she was just acting so strange and it was nothing I had ever experienced before. One moment he was screaming at me and picking apart my work like it was garbage and the next second, he was asking me out for lunch and smiling at me smugly. God... he had no idea how that smile irritated me so much even though I tried my best to hide it behind my expression. I always did my best to make sure he did not truly see what I felt but I could swear that did not know meant I nearly allowed my emotions to take over me. Most certainly I would have done something I surely would have regretted it but thankfully, I didn't do anything. I had no idea why he kept acting like some kind of knight in shining armor. It was so confusing and

    SAWYER I had no idea why I was acting all bossy all of a sudden. I found it very hard to admit it, even to myself but I had been very much aware of it all day and it worried me. I was only worried about it because it was unlike me. However, it had only begun when I heard Keia talking with her friend. Their discussion wasn't just about anything. It was about her saying that she was going to use me as bait for Artemis. That was the last thing I was expecting to hear from someone like her and it made me question everything I knew about her. It made me question if she was the same person that I had always known, if everything she had been doing so far was just a way of getting closer to me and getting what she wanted. Heard that had stung in a way I didn't expect. And despite the fact that I didn't like my brother and everything he had done to her and to me, I still didn't fancy what she was trying to do. Nobody would fancy being used. The idea of being used by her was just so hurtful.

    KEIAI wasn't happy about moving in with him, not in the slightest. And that was because of the circumstances that had brought about the situation. I wished the circumstances had been better and none of this had to happen like this. In fact, I hated it. The thought alone mare mare chest tighten every now and then and I'd find myself hoping for things that would never happen, things like turning back the hands of time and doing something about the subtle fuck ups that had compounded to this terrible moment. I remembered what my friend said when I came home yesterday from work and told her everything. I needed to trust myself, and I was happy that she at least saw and said I was moving in the right direction. There was no bigger motivation than that, bit anyways, this was just jeering. The change was just so sudden and so big I'd find it hard keeping up. I didn't have any other choice however. And there wasn't a doubt that my pride, now, was bruised and it hurt even more to know that I

    KEIAMy mind was racing with so much disbelief and anger when I stormed out of his office, trying to comprehend and assimilate what he had just told me. How the hell could he suggest something so ridiculous? I mean did he even get to hear himself before saying that to me? Live with him? Stay in his house because I was late a few times? It made no sense at all. It felt like a punishment, call it a personal invasion that I couldn't accept. Something had to be done about that. Clenching my my as I walked back to the desk, It was hard seeing the other employees who I passed by on the way back there. But I noticed how they all stared and how some of them whispered to themselves. Of course they were watching. They always watched to know what I was doing so they could judge me and make Sawyer second guess this decision of making me his secretary. It was just so annoying being in the presence of this kind of people but this was the only shot I had at making sure he got what he deserved for e

    SAWYERI was already in a bad mood when I walked into the office that morning. Closing the door behind me, I rolled up my sleeves to check my watch. It was already 9:00 am and Keia wasn't here yet. Oh Lord, I ran a hand through my hair as another heavy sigh left me, all in an attempt to keep my anger in check. The last thing I wanted to do was to vent my spleen on anybody right now. I just wanted to make sure I got through with work and go back home without stirring up any drama, especially because of Keia.This was becoming a pattern, and there was no way I was going to ignore her anymore despite whatever reasons she might have. I needed to say something to her but I didn't want to give away my mysterious nature soon, even though what happened at the bar had done a bad deal of it already. Thirty minutes later, I couldn't control myself anymore. The anger was rising and it wasn't wasn't before I was pacing up and down the office floor like some kind of caged beast. Where the hell was

    SAWYERWhen I got to work that morning, I couldn't bring myself to face her. Thinking about it alone made my stomach churn, and this was not because I'd never been drunk before. I had been drunk before, on several occasions even but this time around it was different. It was Keia, her.She had seen me at my worst for the second time and the shame was just unbearable. I wondered what she thought of me, how she was going to see me now that she had seen that part of me. Would she think that her boss was a drunkard who couldn't even control himself? The thoughts kept coming and piling up. The image replayed in my head like a bad movie, over and over again.And I hated it. All of it. Because of that, I stayed home and told myself that I couldn't deal with work today, I could not just deal with her. But everything changed when that email came in. That was the proposal that I'd been waiting for this whole time. Work always found a way to pull me back, and even worse in a situation like this w

    KEIAI was beside myself with joy when I found out that Sawyer hadn't shown up to work for the day yet. I couldn't help the tiny sliver of relief that ran through me as I pressed ny my against the the and placed a palm on my chest as I took in a deep breath. There was nothing better than this, especially after the odds had been stacked against me all morning- first it was waking up late and then meeting the heavy traffic outside.I couldn't imagine how awful I would have felt if I came in here only to see that he was at work already. This meant a lot of things and one of them was that I had a little more time to prepare myself. Grabbing my bag, I quickly stuffed my papers inside it and made my way out of the office before hurrying downstairs. I didn't want to keep him waiting.I needed to make sure that he didn't have any suspicions that I'd been late today. Even though he had said nothing about it this whole time, I was doing my best to make sure he avoided saying that because it wou
