WELCOME PARTY
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Mira walked over to the coffee machine when Andrew showed up beside her.
"I'm sorry for the way I hugged you. It was sudden. You must have been shocked"he said shyly.
Mira smiled"It's okay. Teammates can do that much for one another, right?"
"You're right. Anyways, I and some others would be throwing you a welcome party since you didn't get one before. Make sure to show up, okay?"
Mira nodded her head with a smile."Okay"
Valentina walked in on them as Andrew turned and left.
Valentina grabbed a cup as she fixed some coffee for herself.
"Why did you come back suddenly though? Did boss come to meet you that day?" Valentina asked
Mira furrowed her brows in confusion "What day?"
"The day it rained. He ran out so I thought he was going to apologize to you. Didn't he?"
Mira shook her head."No, he didn't"
"Anyways, I'm glad you are back. I would like us to be close being the only two girls on the team"
Mira laughed. "Me too". As they left the coffee machine and headed back to their desk Mira couldn't help but wonder if Kyle had seen her that day with her sister.
She stopped in her tracks as she reached her desk.
"Is something the matter?" Valentina asked.
"I have to meet the boss. I'm coming"Mira replied before rushing towards his office. She knocked softly on his door.
"Come in" Kyle ordered as Mira turned on the knob and walked in.
"Is something the matter?" He asked.
"Actually.." she dragged unsure of how to ask her question. "I heard you came looking for me the day it rained. Did you see me?"
Kyle looked away from her. "No. I came to the conclusion that I had better things to do that worry about an officer worker. Is that all?"
"Huh?Yes"
"Then please close the door behind you"
Mira closed his door as she left. She sighed in relief. He hadn't seen her with Mirabel.
She didn't know why she was relieved though. Maybe it was because him confusing her for her sister finally made him pay attention to her.
She sat down on her desk as she turned over to Valentina. "Is there something I can do"
"Yes. Actually, check this out" Valentina said showing her a file. "I think that.."Mira listened to Valentina carefully and infixed her points where needed.
Time went by fast and soon it was 7pm.
"Let's go People"Valentina called out with a clap on her hands.
"To where?"Mira asked
"Your welcome party, silly". Valentina replied with a smile as she held her hand.
"Should we invite boss?" Dwayne asked looking towards Kyle's office.
"You know he doesn't really come to all this gatherings plus we know he would say no"Andrew interjected "So let's go".
They turned around to leave when they encountered people from the fashion team
Each team in the company were at war with eachother although they all worked hard for the benefit of the company's growth.
"I see you guys have a new colleague. It still doesn't matter, we are still going to win the award of the best department this year" Hazel, the leader of the fashion team said with crossed arms.
"Well, enjoy yourselves then"Valentina replied curtly before walking out with her teammates.
Outside the office, Dwayne clapped for Valentina. "I'm impressed, Val. On a normal day, you would have been pulling out Hazel's hair"
"I have to look normal to Mira here, so I held back"
They got into a nearby restaurant where they placed their orders.
"Who were those people back there?"Mira asked.
"The fashion team. The most prideful department in the company. Because their dresses always gets sold out quickly and they get good reviews, they think they are the"IT" team" Valentina downed down a bottle of water. "They just make my blood boil"
Dwayne rubbed Valentina's shoulders. "Relax,we can still do it this year"
Valentina smacked Dwayne's hands off from her shoulders. "You ruined our chances already with that watermelon taste 'Enchantuer' ".
Their food and wine arrived shortly afterwards as Valentina opened up the wine and filled three glasses. "Welcome to the loosing team, Mira"
Ten minutes later, Valentina could be seen spewing a bunch of rubbish.
Mira smiled. "She's cute"
"That's Valentina for you" Andrew replied. "Wait here, let me call a cab to take them home"
She nodded her head as Andrew called a cab and dumped Dwayne and Valentina in it. "Take care of them, sir"
The driver nodded his head before driving off.
Andrew walked back inside the restaurant and faced Mira. "Let's go, I'll take you home"
"That won't be necessary" A strong voice said beside Mira. She turned around to see that it was Kyle.
"Boss"
"You've had a long day so you need to get going in order to turn up early for work tomorrow" he said to Andrew. "I'll take Miss Messa home"
"Okay sir"Andrew turned to face Mira."Get home safe"
"You too, Andrew". Kyle waited for Andrew to leave before facing Mira. "let's go"
Mira climbed into his car as he became lost in thought. She didn't understand why Kyle had come.
I mean, they'd said he didn't usually turn up for these gatherings so why had he come?
"How did you know we were here?" Mira asked Kyle.
"This is where the marketing team always hold their welcoming party" Kyle replied with his eyes on the road.
"You didn't have to come and drop me home. I could get home just fine by myself"
"But I came"he faced her. "Do you have a problem with that?"
Mira shook her head hurriedly. "No"
In truth, she had a problem with that. She was in the same space with Kyle! Her crush of 10years!.
Damn, she was starting to feel hot all over so she'd rolled down the window.
When his car got to her driveway, Mira's eyes widened as she saw Mirabel making out with a stranger out front.
She gasped. "Is she insane?" She muttered.
She impulsively placed her hands over Kyle's eyes. "Reverse"
"What?" Kyle asked confused.
"Back up"
"But I can't see"
"I'll direct you, then" Mira looked behind the car. "Move back"
Kyle slowly backed up his car, leaving her driveway and entering the next street.
Mira sighed in relief as she removed her hands from his eyes and was met with a cold stare from Kyle.
"What was that all about?" He asked.
"Ah-" she stuttered. "My neighbors were making out in the front yard"she bowed head. "I apologize".
She removed the strap of her belt. "Anyways, thank you for driving me home and get home safe".
She hopped out of his car and ran home where she saw Mirabel bidding the stranger goodbye.
She dragged Mirabel inside. "Are you insane? Why would you make out Infront of the house?"
Mirabel shyed away. "You saw us?"
"Yes and I'm sure 20 other people did"Mira threw herself down on the couch. "So I'm guessing your date went well?"
Mirabel sat close to her sister. "Yes and I like this guy. I mean, I really do"
Mira rolled her eyes. "That's what you said about the three other guys before him"
"I mean it Mira. When would you be free? I want to introduce you to him"
Mira's eyes brightened up. Her sister must really like this guy. "I'll look forward to clearing my schedule"

The following morning as Mira makes her way to leave for work, Mirabel reminds her to come home early as she'll be bringing her boyfriend home to introduce her to him. "We need to make a rule in this house that you mention your 'boyfriend' once a week because I think you are going to make my ears bleed soon" Mira teases. "Oh, don't be jelly, Mira" Mirabel sticks out her tongue. "It's not my fault I'm hot" "I see" Mira moves to the kitchen where she fixes herself a toast and warm milk. "Cheers to you being hot" "Seriously, don't you want to date either. You've just been about work, work. At this rate, you might die single" "I told you I already have someone I like, Mirabel" "Then tell this person!" Mirabel grumbles. "He would never know how you feel unless you lay out your cards first" Mira sips from her glass of milk. "That would be nice but he'd never noticed me before" "Then that's perfect" Mirabel clicks her fingers. "Why don't you try seducing him? I can help you out" Mir

Stunned by their sudden closeness, Mira backs away; putting some space between her and Kyle. She peeps out of the wardrobe and clarifying that Mirabel was not in the bedroom, she turned to face Kyle. "You need to go out through the window" "W-Why?" Kyle questioned confused. "Just because" Mira says stepping out of the wardrobe with Kyle as she directed him towards the window. "Off you go" Kyle stares at Mira, dumbfounded. "There's no way I'm going to fit through" "There is. You are obviously fit enough" "But still..."Kyle was cut off as Mira pushes him out through the window, falling on his face. "I'm sorry" Mira apologizes through the window before locking it shut. Turning around, she straightened her cloth as she tiptoes out of her bedroom to the bathroom; she wanted to make it look like she was coming out of the bathroom so she couldn't hear Mirabel when she called for her. Just as Mira was about to turn on the bathroom door knob, she hears a muffled voice inside the ba
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REVENGE STAKEOUT
The next day Mira woke up to the sound of her ringing tone. Grumbling, she reaches out for her phone on the top of her desk. Without checking the caller ID, she picked up. "Hello?" "Mira, are you still asleep?" On hearing Andrew's voice, Mira's eyes jolted wide opened. "Andrew? How did you get my number?" She shakes her head. "Anyways, why did you call? It's Saturday" Andrew chuckled. "You didn't forget about our 'stakeout' today, now, did you?" "Stakeout?" Mira rubbed her forehead as she suddenly remembered. "That's right, it's today. I nearly overslept. Thanks for calling" "It's not a problem. By the way, are you alright? You sound quite unlike your usual self" Brandon was still on Mira's mind like a leech but she was determined to brush him off, even if it was just for today. She had to focus on work. "It's probably because I'm just waking up" "I understand. We decided to go in teams, remember? Let me know when to pick you up" "That's not necessary, Andrew. We can just m

"But sir, we have so much to do today. A field trip is a bit..." Valentina starts. "I know work is a bit tough on everyone, that why I'm suggesting this" Kyle says with his hands in his pockets. "So everyone round up with you are doing and get ready" When Kyle was out of sight, Mira walked up to Valentina. "This field trip might just be exactly what you need to calm down. You've been edgy these days, V" Valentina heaved a heavy sigh. "I know that but how can I calm down? The company is fairing badly because of us. We should be working harder than before not playing around" "Don't you see why boss is suggesting this field trip?" Dwayne questions Valentina. "He can see just how much pressure we're under" "That's right" Andrew countered. "Just use this trip to blow off some steam. Who knows we might be able to think better when we're all relaxed?" Kyle rejoins the team. "Is everyone ready?" Mira assures Valentina with a smile before turning to face Kyle. "Yes, boss" "Then, let's

The next day when Mira wakes up, she stretches with a smile on her face; glad to have come on this field trip as aged forgotten about all her problems. But then suddenly, her mind drifts off to Andrew's drunken confession last night as the smile on her face suddenly disappeared. "What do I do? I can't act as if it never happened. That might hurt Andrew's feelings" She mumbles. Grumbling, she pulls out her hair. "I don't know, honestly" Deciding not to dwell on it too much, Mira climbs down from her bed as she moves to the bathroom to shower. When she was all freshened up, Mira left her room as she headed to the dining; where she was sure the others were gathered and she was right. Each and every one of the them looked like they'd just been hit by a bus; Mira stiffles a laughter over this as she joined them by the dinning table. "Can you still laugh this morning?" Valentina questioned Mira, jealous that she didn't feel like hell. Mira smiles. "Yes, I can. Wait here while

The following day as Mira walks into the company, she mutters her usual words of encouragement."Everything is going to be alright, Mira. Let's focus on work; that's what truly matters. Let's forget about Andrew or Brand---" She swallows her words as she sees Brandon flirting with other ladies from the company. Mira rubs her eyes; wanting to believe that her eyes were playing tricks on her but there Brandon was in the flesh, his hands trailing the skin of that red haired lady she knew not. "That pr***!" Mira cussed as she makes her way towards him; her anger obviously taking the best of her. She poundered on what she should do to him; grab his hair? Kick his person or slap him as hard as she could. When she just a stone throw away from him, Mira decided to be 'humane' for the sake that she was at work. Crossing her arms, she stared at Brandon; who suddenly noticed her, long and hard."What are you doing here?" Mira questioned through clenched teeths. "Mira, right?" Brandon ques

"Then..." Mira says as she walks up to Andrew taking the cup of coffee from his hand. "Thank you" They sip their coffee in a comfortable silence. While Mira seems to be enjoying the silence, Andrew broke the ice. "Is something wrong? You look like you have alot on your mind" Andrew says observing Mira's facial features. "How can you tell?" "I'm very good at reading people. So? Wanna lay your burden on me?" Mira was in deep thoughts for a while but since Andrew seems to not remember his confession to her, she concluded to treat him as she used to. "Should I? Then, here it goes" Mira sips her coffee. "My sister's boyfriend is quite sketchy" "Sketchy?" "Yes. He's doing something that if I tell my sister about it, she won't be able to move for days" "How bad is it?" "Hmm, let's say like smuggling drugs out of the country?" Andrew nods his head. "And you are worried if you should tell your sister or not, right?" "Yes, what should I do?" "Just do whatever your guts tells you
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REVENGE A SUDDEN CONFESSION
Mira smiled to herself with all the sweet words she had heard from Andrew all through the day, although, Kyle was the one she had feelings for, but she couldn’t help but replay all that happened to her.“Hey sister, you’re back home. How was work, by the way?” Mirabel asked as she turned off the gas.“Well, it was fine. Had a nice day at work. Is that beef stew you just finished cooking?” Mira asked, exclaiming in joy.“Really? Now, I guess the beef stew summed up your nice day.” Mirabel teased as she served the beef stew and went straight to the dining.“Of course. Beef stew is one sumptuous meal, and when prepared by you, it tastes exquisite.” Mira complimented as she sat down, ready to dig in the food.“I see. Well, I’m glad you love it. I’m going to give Brandon a taste of it, seeing that you’ve always complimented my cooking skills on it.” Mirabel smiled as she took a spoon of soup.Mira lost her appetite as she heard Brandon’s name and especially that her sister was still engros

Kyle was still shocked with the news and didn’t know what to say to his workers. He could barely look at them in the faces, yesterday, but he had to act tough. It wasn’t a sin, but as a public figure, Mira could be going through some uncomfortable situation right now and he felt bad for what had just happened. He wondered who exactly leaked this, because no one else knew about their relationship, except Mirabel and she wouldn’t do that to her sister. He had returned the phone and walked out, feeling anger, deep inside of him.And his secretary followed him to his office, hoping that he wouldn’t lash out at her. Kyle slammed his fist on the table, feeling angry. Kyle didn’t go home and stayed in his office until the next day. His secretary walked in early, trying not to get on his nerves.“Good morning, sir.” She greeted him, trying not to sound happy or sort.“How did this happen, right under my nose?” He said, with anger.Katherina couldn’t say anything as she was speechless because

Mirabel was heartbroken and as she drove off, she screamed so loud.“Screw you! How could you do this to me?” She shouted in anger and threw the flower at the already gone car.She moved closer to the river bank and rested on the rail and started crying.“Why would Brandon do this to me? After trusting him so much and doing my best for him, he left.” She muttered under her breath, with hot tears rolling down her cheek.Then she headed towards a bar and then sat down.“Bartender, give me two bottles of any strong alcohol you have here.” She said, not minding the way he looked at her.The bartender dropped the two bottles before her and returned to attending other customers, waiting. Mirabel gulped down the drink and then she poured a shot for herself and drank again.“That bastard. How dare he fool my sister and I?” She bit her lips in pain and was barely holding back the tears.Then she took five more shots at one go and was beginning to get drunk.“Hey, beautiful miss.

Mira still didn’t have the interest to go to work. There was no way she would be able to face the peering eyes of her colleagues. She was even certain that reporters could be at the company, waiting for her and Kyle, so that they could bombard them with questions.“Mira.” Mirabel called out to her, softly.“You know what, do not bother to try to convince me. I do not know about tomorrow, I could decide to go to work, but today, I do not feel like it. I can’t go to work in this mood and even while things are still hot.” Mira said, then heaved a heavy sigh.“Come on, Mira. Alright, it’s fine. I understand you and you can stay at home today, but tomorrow, make sure that you go to work, okay?” Mirabel said as she stroked Mira’s hair backwards.“We’ll see about that.” Mira said, weakly.Suddenly. Mirabel’s phone rang and she went to the sitting room to check who was calling her and to her surprise, it was Brandon. Seeing his call made every suspicion she had, against him, to disappear. She

Kyle felt happy with the way things went, last night and when he woke up this morning, he replied Mira's message."What a good day to start work." Kyle said as he stretched, happily.He went to the bathroom and had his bath, then went downstairs to eat breakfast. He nodded his head in satisfaction as he ate the meal. Because he was having a good start for the day, everything seemed so nice to him. If he was given a meal which wasn't really delicious, to him, it was going to be delicious.Then he checked his phone while eating to see if Mira had replied him."Why hasn't she replied me? She ought to have woken up, since it is a work day. Or she is still busy, preparing for work?" He assumed, then dropped his phone to finish up his food.After he was done with eating, he entered his car and checked his phone, but still no reply from Mira."Now, she ought to have seen it. Or would it be cool if I went to her house and pick her up? She might have gone to the office." Kyle slammed his wrist
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REVENGE IT HAD TO BE BRANDON
"What's going on?" Mirabel asked out of concern as she saw the way Mira was looking at her phone."I think something is wrong, Mirabel." Mira said, trying to calm down, hoping she wasn't in great trouble."What's wrong, Mira?" Mirabel continued to ask, worrying that something was really wrong.Mira checked online and screamed as she saw a message sent to her by one of the people she knew. It was a screenshot of an article about her and Kyle. The person didn't screenshot all, so Mira immediately checked online to confirm if it really was a real article that was posted online."Check the internet, Mirabel. I do not understand what I am seeing right now." Mira said, with her hands which were filled with cold sweats.Mirabel gasped as she saw the news. An article about going on a date with Kyle was all over the internet and was even trending. Many comments were there, including hate comments that were directed at her."What the hell? How did this get to the public?" Mirabel exclaimed, loo
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REVENGE NEWS TRAVELS FAST
Mira woke up, she didn't know when she slept off last night. She was really exhausted and when she picked up her phone, she saw a message which was from Kyle, which read:"I slept off yesterday and that's why you didn't see a reply from me. Good morning, sunshine. I am certain that you are awake by now, because I can feel the warm sunlight reaching me over here. Have a nice day, sweetheart."Mira blushed after reading the message. She didn't check any other message because she had seen the only message which turned her whole day into a beautiful thing. It was a really nice thing. Mira went to the bathroom to have her bath, which she took time there, then she went downstairs to watch TV or do anything else to make her day even more fun."How was your night, Mira?" Mirabel asked, from the kitchen."It is one of the best nights I've ever had in life." Mira smiled as she twirled and sat on the couch like a princess."I thought as much. When I checked up on you, you were sleeping soundly."
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REVENGE COULD THIS HAPPINESS LAST FOREVER?
As Kyle got to where she was and tried to make her stand, she started laughing and then she clutched her arms around him. “Gotcha!” She giggled, feeling happy that she was able to get him. “So, you tricked me. But that’s cheating.” He said as he stood up. Mira laughed the more. “All you said was to catch you if I can and I can use any method to catch you, since there were no rules, so it isn’t cheating.” Mira closed her eyes in pride and feeling victorious. Kyle laughed at how Mira had outwitted him in the least way he expected. ~ An hour later, they left the beach and went to a street, wearing hoodies, so they won’t be recognized. They ate street food which was really delicious. They also went to a game hub to play games. Mira was happy that she had fun, not just with anyone, but with someone that she had crushed on for years. When it was evening, they both went to a river bank and they had removed their hoodies as no one would see them clearly in the night. The breeze caressed
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REVENGE THE FIRST DATE
Mira was uncomfortable with what Andrew had asked for. She didn’t like the idea of allowing him to give her a ride home as she didn’t want anything that could cause a misunderstanding between her and Kyle.“I’m sorry, I’ll prefer to walk back home on my own.” She said as she tried to avoid eye contact with Andrew.“Why? Is it because you are still feeling weird about the rejection stuff? Or you feel that won’t be a good idea, since you want me to look somewhere else.” He asked as he tried to make eye contact with her.“No, you do not have to think far about this. I just do not need a ride. Try to understand this, Andrew.” Mira said, looking a bit frustrated as she finally looked into his eyes.“I just want to be certain that I have not lost points or make you feel like you do not want to be my friend anymore because of what happened between us.” Andrew said, peering into her eyes like a lost puppy.“No, that’s not how it is. You are still a friend to me. A good friend.” Mira assured a

I’m glad you aren’t.” Mira responded, pinning her hair to the back of her ear.~They had talked for a while before going back to the office to eat or do any other thing. Although, the conversation seemed platonic at some point, but it was still obvious in some words he said, that he was still very much interested and he sounded like he was still going to make many more attempts.After work that day, Mira went home in excitement and unfortunately, Mirabel was around and was with Brandon.“Brandon? You came today? After all these while.” She rolled her eyes as she joined them in the sitting room.Afterall since she'd decided to play dumb about Brandon being a cheat, she had to act the part as an excited sister-in-law, right? “You do not have to be annoyed. I am so sorry, it has been work taking all my time, but I am here now.” Brandon apologized sincerely, with his palms together that Mira nearly gagged.“It’s fine. You are forgiven.” Mira said, with her eyelids closed in pride. “Mir
