She roamed back into the office with Katherine who had automatically become a friend. The two took a seat on their supposed chairs and turned on the computer system they each possessed. “Let me know when help is needed,” Katherine said and faced the computer screen before her. “I will be willing to help.”“Of course,” Olivia offered a smile and turned to face the screen before her. It felt good. More than good to be in a Corporation as a staff when it was the slightest she anticipated these days. The manager at the Cafe shop had reached out to her nights ago, asking why she was leaving. Why would she not leave?It was more than simple. The old man did not know her worth. Of what use would it be to remain in the shop when he couldn't pay up as considered but reduced their fee at the end of the day?By the end of the month, she would receive her first payment from the Corporation and help with some bills at the house, then plan towards saving up for her new apartment. As soon as
Emily woke up to the sound of the alarm in her room, as expected. She stretched on the bed when she posed up and gave her first yawn. Today was the day, she recalled and heaved a sigh. The day of her practice and a day for Jessica to act bossy around her. She heaved another sigh and jumped off the bed. Olivia was yet to come awake from the look of things or was having her bath already. Emily walked out of the room and led the way to the kitchen to make breakfast when she breathed in the aroma that came from the space she was steered to. “What is happening here?” She jokingly asked. “I thought you were taking a bath or not.”Olivia veered around to face her, the hot spoon in her right hand waving at the face of the other woman. “I decided to make something for us this morning before my bath, I am almost done with the task. Good morning, Emily.”“Pardon my manners,” Emily said. “I'd just take my bath and join you later. It is my session with Jessica today.”“The boss's girlfriend?”
She sat up on the chair in her space after confirming that the door was locked, so as not to give Jessica or any other staff a possibility to walk into the office. Mark had given notice that she stayed away from Jessica. At least, in the meantime until her good conduct came back to existence. “What wrong will she say I have done to her?” Emily raised a question while she was walking back to the office. “Did she tell you anything?”“No,” Mark said. “None that I can think of at the moment.”“This is bad,” she thrust up a sigh from where she was inaugurated and thickened concentration on the system before her. Olivia was right, after all. Judging from the dialogue she had with Jessica the other day at the eatery, the woman is in love with the boss. But what does it have to do with her?It is not her fault that Mr. Stone does not like Jessica in that light and sees her that way, she thought as she got to her feet and strolled to the window side.After a while of thinking, she walked b
She was at the Enterprise on the morning of his retrieval. Her heartbeat was unusual. Why did she feel this way? She had yet to have a good snooze since the message came into her device a few nights ago, and the only thing she yearned to do was justify herself. Mr. Stone needed to figure out the truth about what transpired in the creation room, after all.Emily reached her office, with just one bag today. She walked in and dumped the bag on the desk where it should be, with a lot that went on in her head. Is her job threatened already? She thought and walked to the window. From the look of what has gone on of late, the CEO is not pleased with her. The window blinds came up, revealing the bottom part of the Enterprise. The gate was opened by the man who worked at the main entrance, and a car walked into the large compound. "Just as I thought." It did not take her long to recognize the car as the CEO's, and the man at the front seat as Nicholas who she once met. Staff hailed Al
He let go of her hand moments ago, consolidating on the lip beneath his. She was alluring, even in corporate clothes. Alexander's hand wound around Emily, tutoring her waist in the right direction. He then broke off the kiss to gape at her, then bent low to her height to claim her again. She didn't try to stop him. Was she not going to stop him from kissing her? He wondered while his lips fondled hers. How could she? This is a moment he dreamt of, long before now. Now that the prospect of carrying it out in real life had come, there was no way he would let it stumble past his hands.While he was lost in his thought, Emily's hands, wound roughly around his neck, gripping him closer to herself with silent outcries that evaded her mouth. Mark, Jessica or another staff in the Enterprise could walk into the room, Alexender realized and it dawned on him that they could be caught. This was the right time to take hold of himself and allow self-control to take its place. With this, h
Why did he send for her? She wondered when the telephone was dropped back to its position. Jessica moped at the device she positioned back on the table, with multiple thoughts in her head. Did the CEO call to apologize to her for what Emily did? She wondered as a smile appeared on her lips. She had seen his text message of apologies the day the incident took place at the creation room, and was more than surprised when Alexander sent her an apology message at the end of the day. Truthfully, she should not be apologized to. So what was the requirement for the message? But now that the message had come in, there were more than a thousand reasons to act hurt.When she knew she should not be. She got up from the gigantic seat after shutting the system and was headed for the door. There was no need to waste more time when the call was from Alexander himself. And with these thoughts in her head, she tramped out of the office, closed the door and made her way to the CEO's crib.Arrivin
What was she going to do? Emily appeared to have settled down very much in Stone Enterprise and this is something she doesn't want. “Are you saying there is no way to bring her down, Victoria?” Mrs. Blackwell questioned herself when she arrived at her home that evening. “There has to be a way, I am just yet to figure it out.”The truth, of course. There was a way to get at Emily, but she was yet to sculpt it out. Why did it take so much time? She wondered when she fell on the couch in her large living room. She took her time to make this scheme, and it came to pass in a way she did not expect. What then was keeping her from shooting her shot at Emily? It was high time she came up with a strategy, and got this over with. About a month ago, she was slumping around Emily's apartment early in the morning when she found out about her employment at Stone Enterprise. And this brought about Olivia into the picture. Another scheme of hers was delineating the younger woman to her pla
They held hands and ambled to the altar that dwelled ahead of them. There was a smile on his face, the kind that proclaimed love without utilizing or letting out the words. Clad in her white gown, with the flower bunch in her hand, she moped at the man next to her and offered him the nicest of her smiles. They dropped anchor at the front of the church and when she looked around, hundreds of people posed up on rows of chairs, well arranged for guests who were meant to grace the occasion. Before them was a priest. He was all smiles, with his hands that were stretched out to the un-bonded couples. “We are ready," Alexander's voice hit the large space. “We are ready." She announced alongside him. The priest, ever willing to do what should be done, handed over the booklet to the man next to him and encountered the couple fully. "Do you—” he commenced, his gaze fixed on Alexander who was still all smiles. "—Alexander Stone, take Emily Hartley as wife?”And with this, she modelled u
