“You can go in,”Laila said. She points the way to the office to Grace. Grace raised her face. She was done signing the book. “Thank you”Grace walks in. She pushed the door gently. Laila looked at Grace as she entered her boss office. She is so beautiful with a nice body shape.“Wow, she is beautiful,”Laila whispered. She just can’t wait to catch up with the gist. Usual secretary type of thing. Most female secretaries gossip about their boss and people around their boss.“Hello”Grace greeted. “Hello, come inside. Michael left his seat, came over to where Grace was and hugged her. “Let me not make it too tight. Beauty should not be compressed”Michael said. He was indirectly praising her makeup.“Thank you. It’s not tight. It’s okay”Grace blushed. Grace settles on a seat opposite Michael’s seat. As Grace stepped into the office. Michael was carried away. He hug her instead of shaking hands with her. Michael goes over to his seat. As he settles. Laila knocks gently on the door. “Come in,”
That movement startled Grace. “What is this?”. She didn’t scream too loud for Laila to hear. The noise was just within the office. Michael realized himself and disengaged after Grace became startled.“I am sorry, I don’t know what came over me. You look like a goddess”Michael said lustfully. Grace does not want to give him her body. She wants him to lust over her. So, she can control him and get what she wants. “Ok, no offense,”. She carefully moves her body away from him.“Are you sure? You are not pissed at me for harassing you”Michael pleaded. “I am not. It’s fine. I see it as a mistake,”. Grace said calmly, she adjusted her jacket and fastened the buttons to hold it firmly from slipping away.Michael was thinking in his head how special Grace was. He loves her physic when he first saw her the previous day. He just couldn’t talk or admire her because Roxana was there with him. He swallowed everything he wanted to say about her body and reserved it till they met.For rejecting his m
“But you didn’t ask me before fixing the appointment”. Grace looked at Michael. He acted like he was shy. “I just think a harmless half an hour wouldn’t hurt and it would make up for the wrongful move”.“I actually don’t know if I can make it out with you today”Grace resists. She does not want to go with him for the first time. She had a second thought about it because he planned to sponsor her program.“I will have to get permission from my mommy. If I would be going”She replied. “Ok, go ahead, make the call or send a text. Just inform her”. Michael urged Grace.“Ok,”. She picks her phone and dial her mother’s number. Helen had been expecting her child after she met with Ben. “Grace, are you ready to leave?”. Helen asked. She planned on picking her daughter up after her visitation.“No mommy, I called to say. I will take a bit longer. But, I will surely come home”. Grace looked at Michael’s face. Michael smiled as Grace approved of going out with him. “Ok, I will wait till you are ba
“Get out of the bathroom we really need to talk about this”Helen yelled. Grace was still in the bathroom having her bath after a long day. Helen started pacing around the bathroom front door.She was In disarray from her thoughts. She had planned it out well. Using the money Joanna gave her to push some little things upfront. The company was about to start but wages to pay the workers were not available.She is just starting from scratch after closure. She doesn’t want to owe her workers their first wages. She kept pacing around stamping her legs on the floor expressing her dissatisfaction.Meanwhile in the bathroom. Grace was still having her bath and was not ready to leave quickly. She is enjoying the water as she had a flashback of the day. She is joining her friend Sydney in school soon.That is so good. Her dream is coming to reality and she is getting her first wages soon. In Michael’s company. He pays his workers every end of the week. He doesn’t wait for two weeks like your la
Helen scoffed, “Tell me it’s a lie. You are resuming back to school. He single handedly wants to sponsor you”. Helen’s mood was lightened up. Her face cracked up into a big smile. She felt she must be dreaming. She left the dining table, came back to meet Grace.“No, it’s reality,”she screamed. “Yes, mom. So, you see the reason I can’t ask him for the five hundred thousand dollars now”. Grace had explained the reason behind her asking for the money. For the first meeting, Michael had done more than enough by pledging to sponsor her two years in the PhD program.Helen was still in disbelief it was more than she could have imagined. Now, she has that bill cleared off her head. She needs to focus on growing the company now. The high society ladies that had rejected her when she was in crisis will come back crawling to her. That was also part of her mission.Stopping show off can never be part of Helen’s agenda. She is used to showing off. “I knew meeting up with Michael will be producti
Roxana became scared with the noise Michael let out. He screamed like he saw a ghost. Laila ran out of the restroom. She ran towards her boss's office. “Sir, are you alright?”she asked in a hurry.Michael moved some steps back from his office door. “I am alright Roxana scared me”. Laila peeped inside the office. Roxana stood with her jaw dropping at her husband’s attitude. She was watching him in a way that is unbelievable.He gathered himself and walked back to his office. “I have called the office on the twelfth floor to announce her arrival but no one answered the phone there,”Laila said. She knows if she doesn’t speak out. Her boss will accuse her of not doing her job correctly.“We were busy there,”Michael said. He closed the door of his office and faced Roxana. “I didn’t know you were here. You didn’t call me. Why?”. Roxana replied with a straight face, “Have you checked your phone?. Check it before I reply to you”.She had a mean look on her. Everything is looking strange to Ro
Michael could hear the noise. He was fidgeting in his seat hoping Laila handled the situation on time. Luckily for him, Laila was able to use her reflex quickly. She grabbed Grace by her second hand. “You can not go in there. He is busy. Learn to understand company policies”Laila screamed at her.She was frustrated, the way she made for the door to Grace entered was breathtaking. She stretched and pulled herself trying to make it to the door before she opened it. Grace already stretched her hand for the door knob.If Roxana and Grace should come to face each other. Michael will definitely not like it. He didn’t introduce Grace to anyone in the company as his girlfriend or lover. However, it was obvious and can be seen or noticed by anyone around him, the way he reacts towards her.Part of his negligence made Grace approach his office door without courtesy. It’s an organization and some manners are to be applied. Grace has never been to a place she is restricted before. So, she feels
Roxana was busy with her phone. Pressing hard. It was a tinted glass car. The chauffeur rode past Grace into the main road. She had a long glance at the car.“This looks like the same car Michael carried me out with yesterday”. She wasn’t too sure because she didn’t take note of its plate numbers to compare to when next Michael gives her a ride.The next day, Michael worked from home. He wasn’t to rest from the stress he faced the next day. Grace narrates all that happened to her mother the previous day at work. Her mother frowned at Laila and consoled her daughter. She told her not to forget to find a way to make Michael lend her the money to pay her workers.Ben has started the recruiting process. And they have started getting the awareness that the company is about to rise up again. Ben and Helen did interviews for the workers and ended up recruiting fifty of them to different departments of the company. “We should start with this for now. When we maximize enough profit. We can rec
Michael exhaled, he was shocked with the question Roxana asked her. He never thought she could remember that particular name. “It is you, I called you that as the new affection name I gave you”.That was a plain lie Roxana knew. She pretends she was okay with it. “I will think about it. It’s strange you never called me that since”,She said. The nurses started coming in. Michael was expected to leave till the visiting hour.“I will return at the visiting hour. Take your fruits and supplements to heal up quick”Michael said and left. He went home to bath and get ready for work.As expected, Helen and Grace gets ready for the day. Grace has nowhere to go she has been suspended. However, she didn’t tell her mother. Grace drove her to her workplace. “Grace, we are here get down from the car and enter there”,Helen says. “Oh, sorry Ma”She smiled and alighted from the car.She watched her mother’s car leave and she called Charles. She obviously can’t enter the company she has been suspended fo
He gnawed his teeth. “Let’s go to Brentford hospital”he ordered his chauffeur. As they drove to the hospital he stopped at a fruit stand. Ordered his chauffeur to get many fruits for Roxana. At a pharmacy he ordered his chauffeur to get some supplements for Roxana as well.He was hoping she forgives him and does not leak the truth to anyone. Unknown to him she has told Ann about it. Ann didn’t plan to leak it but to mark out a great plan for whoever he was cheating on that made him beat her up.He entered the hospital and saw Miranda at the waiting room. “Mrs Briggs, how are you?”He asked and hugged her. “Michael, I am okay. And leads from the police?”,she inquired. They disengage the hugs. “Mrs Briggs, calm your nerves. I am serious about it. It will be good. I just want my Rosie to get well first,”Michael said.He was trying to calm Mrs Briggs by laying emphasis on Roxana’s well-being. “Can we go inside now?”He asked. “No, the visiting hour is in the next five minutes,”She said, che
He yelled and pointed in their direction, “What is this supposed to mean?. Is this a love garden or a working place?. Who does this romantic show off while at work?”. Everyone around shivered. Michael’s voice echoed loud around the building.Charles and Grace stood up in fears. Charles has known his boss to be strict man who is feared around. Grace hasn’t seen this side of him till that moment. She looked around to see if it was reality.Michael has never been so harsh on her. He just got her a beautiful bracelet the previous day. What could have gone wrong just yesterday to the next day?. She was confused. Other members of the staff stood facing downwards. They don’t want to share eye contact with him. Michael’s breath increased and his face was red while his eyes were splitting fire.“Mr Wellington, is this how you head your department?. Playing and showing off affections while at work?”Michael screamed. Mr Wellington could not reply.No one dare replies Michael whenever his angry.
He widened his eyes. Ann must have heard what he said. He instantly changed the discussion. “I am sorry for allowing you to go home by yourself. I should have driven you home”.Roxana was confused about what he said. She was about to retreat when she saw Ann approaching. She kept mute and didn’t argue with him. “Okay, it’s fine”she hissed.Ann has been a close friend to Roxana for a long time. She knows much of her attitude and body languages. She didn’t argue with Michael or challenged him to repeat what he just said.She only tried to send him a message pretentiously. “Michael, use your connection and power to find the culprit. Because if you don’t, I will find it out myself”She said.Michael exhaled, “I will for sure”. The project at work was done so Laila had to call her boss. Michael excused himself from the ward to take Laila’s call. “Hello sir, the robot has completed 99.9percent. It’s okay to be launched”. This is great news for Michael and his household.The launch of the rob
Her mother rushed towards her daughter screaming, “Help! Help!!,Help!!!”. Immediately, two house helpers ran to the spot and helped Roxana up. Her mother got close to her daughter. Her heart stopped for a few minutes.“What could have happened to her?”. “Who could have attacked her”. “There are bruises and marks all over her body”. And signs of teeth bites. It was a scary scene to watch for the mother over her child. She cried as she inspected the marks and bruises. Roxana’s eyes remained closed, she wasn’t moving or breathing.The mother tried to revive her daughter but she couldn’t. She called the emergency number. For some help to come over and help her. They were taking too long. She can’t keep watching her daughter lay motionlessly like that.With the help of the house helpers. She was able to carry her in the car. She was crying as they carried her. She couldn’t wait for the arrival of the emergency services. She drove her daughter to a nearby hospital.The manner at which she d
“Ok sir,”The chauffeur replied. He didn’t know the actual car his boss was pointing at. He only drove off towards the outside. Michael didn’t raise his head. He was still dialing Roxana’s phone number.The chauffeur was still looking around but didn’t know where he was actually driving to. And who exactly he was chasing. Roxana’s number went through and she picked the phone. “Hello Michael, what is wrong?”. “Rosie, I am sorry, I have been so busy I haven’t eaten since. Where are you?”Michael said.“Hmm, ok, if that is it. I am at work packing up to leave”Roxana replied. “Okay, wait. I will be there soon”He uttered. Michael ends the call.“Drive to Roxana’s store. Don’t chase the car anymore. Tomorrow is another day for that”He uttered. That’s a sign of relief for the chauffeur because he was only driving and not chasing after any car.If Michael had not mentioned about going to Roxana’s office it would have been a difficult day for the chauffeur as Michale would get angry if he didn't
Shockingly, she shut the door behind her and ran out. Michael saw her, Grace didn’t. She only heard someone banged the door. Laila went back to her seat looking stunned. She never knew they had gone so deep with their relationship.She sat for a few minutes trying to get a clearer picture of what she saw in her head. “What did I just see?”. “How can her boss be having romance at work in his office?”. “What if she wasn’t in the seat and Roxana stormed the office?”. “Is her boss really having a double affair after proposing publicly to Roxana?”. Those were the questions going on in Laila’s head.She just couldn’t fathom what exactly happened. She stared at the bare floor. “I don’t think he can have time for me now, I should visit the cafeteria to have lunch”. She left her table in the cafeteria. She was only wondering if he had broke up with Roxana to be so bold to smooch Grace in the office.“Who is that?”Grace queried. “Relax, I don’t care who was there. I love you, honeypot, and that
Suddenly, Grace jumps on her mother. “We got it mommy”she said jubilating. Helen held her daughter tight not to fall. “Really, you got the whole wages for my workers?”Helen said laughing happily. Grace came down to her mother’s body.She was so happy, seeing the way her mother was reacting to the money they got. She felt so proud of herself. She was able to bring a smile to her mother’s face. They are about to forever bounce into luxuries and say goodbye to debt and brokenness forever.Grace has always known luxuries all her life. The one time she experienced brokenness was not immediately after my father died. It was after that. When her mother mismanaged the wealth he left behind. “Come on inside, you deserve the best treatment my darling. You are making me so proud”Helen laughed.They walked inside holding each other’s hands giggling. It was one of the best nights for them. Settling on the couch, Grace brought out her phone to send the money to her mother. “Sent,”she said, smiling.
“Ok”Michael continued to listen. “Sure, the money she needs is a million dollars. However, We were able to come up with half of it. So, right now we need five hundred thousand dollars”.“Oh!”Michael exclaimed. His wedding is fast approaching and he is also in need of money as his wedding cost was on his shoulders to foot.Nevertheless, the money Grace was asking for was chicken feed to him. Giving her was not the problem but he hasn’t gotten what he needs from her. “I don’t want to ask you. That was the reason I said if I get a ‘No’ as an answer. It will ruin my whole day”. She exhaled, “I guess my day is ruined already”. She silently wiped her face.Her pitiful eyes were fixed on the floor. She was sobbing quietly. Michael moves close to Grace. He threw his hands over her shoulder. “Worry not, your day isn’t ruined. You are with me”. Grace wouldn’t stop displaying her sadness. She was acting it so well for Michael to pity her.Michael draws her closer and starts rubbing her back. She
