It was a bright Saturday morning. The birds chirped synchronically on the trees as the trees danced beautifully to the rhythm of the gentle breeze. The rays of the sun fell on her face and she stretched her body lazily. "Good morning." She heard from behind her. She knew instantly who had adjusted the curtains. "Finally, she wakes."Daisy smiled calmly still stretching her body. "Good Morning Stacy." She answered back, laying emphasis on the phrase. "I thought you wouldn't wake again. I mean, it's almost noon." Stacy said, checking out some outfits in her wardrobe. Daisy placed her face of the pillow clutching it tightly. "Ouchhh! She winced "It's been awhile I had a well balanced sleep. I felt like I was in a new world."Stacy laughed casually. "Sorry." She said, trying not to make her feel bad. "It's only a week at work and you're this tired already? Stacy teased. "Oh come on, you don't have to take it out on me. Somehow, I wish I could be transferred t
It was the first time she would be using the CEO's private car and she was quite excited about it, even though she felt goosebumps crawl underneath her skin, making her uncomfortable.She opened the door and went in, while the other guy shut the door and sat at the front seat, just beside the driver. She recognized him as the CEO's right hand man. "What was his name again? She whispered to no one in particular, trying to recall.She noticed that the CEO wasn't with them, making her wonder where they were headed exactly. She was prompted to ask. "Uhm, Hello."The right hand man turned to face her, giving the facial expression of, can I help you. "I'm Nathan." He added.She smiled briefly. "Uhm, Nathan? Do you mind telling me where we're going? It doesn't seem like I'm being kidnapped but, I still don't know where I'm going." "We have a plane to cash and you're late already. You should know by now that the CEO doesn't entertain lateness. Just hope he's in
Since the first day he set his eyes on her, he knew there was something different, yet familiar about her. She was not like the others who kept throwing themselves at him, who went as far as putting on revealing dresses just to catch his attention, this one was different, but he wondered how long it would last.Most the of the previous secretaries that had worked with him didn't last up to two months, the stayed most was a lady who worked up to a year and disappeared without trace. He couldn't recall the name, but the face could ring a bell. Whenever he noticed that any of the ladies were acting up in front of him, changing their walking steps, voice pattern, just to get his attention, he would increase their tasks to keep them busy. Unfortunately, they always had a way to come back to torment him with their appearance. He decided to keep every contract at a maximum of three months and that had been helpful to him. Just the previous day, CEO Dash had received a call fr
Getting to the room, she dropped her bags and luggage and went ahead to take a shower. She had just left the bathroom when she heard the doorbell ring.She quickly put on her bath rope and headed to the door. Peeping through the door opening, she noticed that the ladies behind her door were on the hotel uniform, so she assumed that they were workers. She pushed the door open. "Hello, how may I help you? She asked in a very polite tone. "Good afternoon ma'am." Both ladies responded, smiling broadly. "We were asked to deliver these to you." One of the ladies added.Daisy stared at the bags which they held In front of her, as if trying to scan with her eyes. "What are those? She queried. The other lady replied, still maintaining the smile. "Uhm, it came from your boss actually. Although, he didn't drop a name, but we were asked to deliver it to this very room." She explained. Daisy knew immediately that Nathan could have dropped it off following their boss's
Duncan Ladiyz sat on his king-sized chair in his personal office, holding a glass of whisky on one hand and a stick of cigar on the other. He puffed slowly, allowing the tiny smoke penetrate the whole room. He was deep in thought, trying to understand something that had happened to him some months ago and how to go about it. It had been bothering him for quite a while, but he hadn't gotten a good solution to the outstanding problem giving him sleepless days.He usually left his base to this particular place whenever he needed time to think about himself and his business. Though, he always used the disguise of cruising to deceive people into thinking that it was his time to have fun. In few minutes time, he was going to be having a meeting with one of his father's rivals. One of the biggest and richest men in their time. Duncan always acknowledged the fact that his rival was quite a stunning and well mannered man, even though he wasn't his kind of business partner
As soon as the meeting ended, she went out of the meeting room and left the two men behind to continue with whatever they had between them. She was pissed and almost devastated.She felt her boss disliked her, perhaps because she wasn't classy enough, but she was more hurt this time because she could sense that he was using her as a tool. She wondered if it was a ploy to get her into the man's bed, like she heard some rich men do whenever they are sexually aroused. She hated her boss the more she thought about the whole thing. "Little wonder he went as far as getting Nathan to go shop for this dress. I feel like a little slut right now." She cursed under her breath.She decided to join Nathan in the front vehicle rather than stay in the same car with her boss, which she had suddenly come to detest even more. Nathan came around and saw her sitting in the car, so he wondered what she was up to. He could tell that she was a stubborn one, though smart, he was beginning t
It was another casual day at the Kiosk. Mrs. Kute had returned from the big market and was arranging the new wares she had gotten from the marketplace.She hummed her favourite song as she continued to keep the items properly on their various places. Some of her clients trooped in, so she had to pause for a while to attend to them before she could continue. She heard a very familiar voice from afar which she could recognise even in her sleep. "Isn't that Maxwell? She asked no one in particular. One of her clients who still was purchasing some items thought she referred to him. "You mean me ma'am? He asked. "Oh no no no. I thought I heard my son's voice. Wasn't referring to you please." She answered, giving off a cheerful smile.Just then, Maxwell walked in, clutching his school bag firmly on his back. "Hello momma, I'm back from school." He greeted, then walked up to her and kisses her on her forehead. She smiled broadly at him. "My beloved. You returned so earl
The cab dropped her off in front of the building. She got down, paid the fare and walked majestically inside. She could notice stares at her as she proportioned her steps on the heels with ease. She knew she looked beautiful that day and the more the stares, the more her boldness heightened. One reason she dressed that way was to increase her level of confidence in front of other workers as some of them had started talking so much behind her back. The other reason was to spite her boss and make him see that she too could increase her social charisma and aura as well. Since the last incident at the Ladiyz palace, she had been feeling so dejected and subdued, so she needed to overcome that feeling, she hoped that this new phase of hers would work.She came across Mark on her way to her office and he stopped her for a while to share pleasantries, not failing to spoil her with complimentary words. "Wow, you look so beautiful and astonishing. Damn, what's up with you? Ma
