The trio walked into the massive dining room to see Mr. Shaw, former President of SAB company, before his son took over, sitting down in front of well garnished delicacies arranged all over the table. Daisy gasped as she wondered if they were expecting more persons or having a late evening get together. CEO Dash walked up to his father and bowed briefly to greet him. "Good evening Father. It is nice to meet you once again." He obviously lied. "You look so gallant and healthy. I must say you're really enjoying your retirement." Mr. Shaw smiled at his son. "I am really enjoying my retirement indeed. What about you? How have you been? "Very well, I still have a whole lot ahead of me, but I'm keeping fit and ready for the massive growth." He answered.Daisy could tell that neither father nor son looked happy to see each other. She could imagine how her brothers react whenever they returned home, especially after a while away. This was nothing close to it. She tho
After the sumptuous meal, Mr. Shaw asked everyone to excuse him and his son, so they could have a father to son conversation, alone.Everyone left, the maids, the guards that were on standby, including Nathan and Daisy. They thanked Mr. Shaw for the nice treat before they left.Madeline stayed back, waiting for the duo to start their conversation as they termed it. CEO Dash who detested her and never welcomed the idea of seeing her in the house got annoyed, seeing that she stayed back. CEO Dash used every opportunity he had to make sure his father knew that women had always been his weakness. "Madeline, your boss specifically requested that everyone leave. I wonder what you stayed back for."Madeline stared at Mr. Shaw, then at CEO Dash and smiled. "Actually, I'm still part of the family, I guess I will have to stay, right." Dash got furious but calmed himself in order not to act up in the presence of his father. "I guess the one time President of SAB still has ladi
As soon as Daisy left the dinning room as Mr. Shaw, her boss's father had requested. She went to one of the sitting room and decided to wait there. She had wanted to join the others in the car, but since she wasn't close to them, she decided not to try.She tried to find Nathan, but she couldn't. As soon as they left the dinning room, she couldn't lay a hold on him again. Waiting in the sitting room for quite a while, she decided to take a little tour around the house. The house and the decor, both interiorly and exteriorly were so beautiful to behold that she could not help but admire it. Somehow, she was glad her boss her brought her along, even though she was yet to understand the reason for that.She left the sitting room and was walking towards the hallway when she heard the big door of the dining room creak slightly. She assumed that her boss and his father were done with whatever secret conversation that had to discuss alone. She hissed slightly, a little annoyed
The car horned twice and came to a halt. Then, she heard him say, "Perhaps we should spend the night in a hotel closeby and set out tomorrow."She turned to look at him in total disapproval and disagreement. He nodded his head and glanced towards her, waiting for her response. "You mean me? She asked, looking behind her to be sure he was referring to her.CEO Dash frowned slightly. "It's just two of us here, who else would I be referring to? He asked. "My apologies sir, I..." He interrupted immediately. "Keep the apologies to yourself, they're not needed. Answer the damn question." He said slowly, trying to control himself from fuming in anger. "I'd prefer to go home sir. It's about an hour drive from here, I don't mind finding a taxi this night just to get home." She explained, to show how important it was that she went home that night. CEO Dash stared at her for a while without uttering a word. Daisy waited to hear what he had to say, but he said
Stacy hurried off to work earlier the next day, leaving Daisy behind who was still trying to sort herself out properly. Stacy usually left on time, earlier than Daisy. They never went to work together as they were very cautious and careful about being seen together. It was a crime for friends who have known each other before getting a job in the company to work together in the same company. One has to be employed and the other not, or, neither of the friends will be. It was part of their work ethics, so they had to be more careful.They never talked at work, never even greeted and hardly even passed the same route. They were very careful not to be seen together at work and they were quite good at staying a lot of distance away.She was lucky to have used a different address, when she was going for the job. Her boyfriend had insisted she used his, since he was the one who gave her access and she got the job. She was glad she listened, even though somehow, she regrets it. S
Getting to work daily was a whole lot of work, starting from waking up on time, flagging a cab down and getting to work to be faced by the terror himself. Each day, she would mark her calender to be up to date on how long was left for her to complete her contract and disappear entirely from that company and never return again. Dragging her feet, she sauntered into the elevator, just as it was about to close. She greeted some of the persons she met in there and waited.She got carried away that she didn't know when the elevator door opened for her. Someone tapped her gently from behind. She turned around to stare at the person, he face was quite familiar but, she couldn't place it. "How may I help you? Is there a problem? She asked, holding her phone up on her right hand and her bag on the left.Steve nodded gently and pointed at the door. "I think, the door is opened for you. It's just two of us left here, I was assuming it's your turn." He said calmly. Now, feeling e
He just returned from the brief errand his boss had sent him and had to wait outside the lounge because his boss was having a short meeting with one of his renowned client. The client was a rich business man who travelled often, so the meeting had to be scheduled outside office premises for security reasons. He stood outside, very alert and monitoring everyone going in and out of the building. Though there were quite a number of guards around, he was used to staying alert. Down to whenever he was asleep, he always kept a pen knife close to his bed. He usually had the feeling that someone could harm him in his sleep, so, it was his duty to be on guard all the time. He received a beep on his phone and when it turned it on, he was shocked. The camouflage camera in his boss's office had sent a signal to his phone that there was an impostor.Checking the face with the camera capture check, he realised that it was Daisy. "What the hell is she doing there? He exclaimed in
It was a bright morning, just like every other day, or so she thought. She had just ticked her virtual calender on the app, sighing lightly. "Two months and two days left." She said, sighing again. "I wonder what these few months have in store for me." She dropped her phone on the desk, then swerved it by the side.She took the office iPad to continue working. The previous day was less busy since her boss stayed only a few hours at work, before he left for a private meeting, which she wasn't allowed to join. She was relieved by that, because it gave her more time to herself. She had scheduled meetings that day for her boss and she had to go through the presentations that were submitted earlier for corrections. It was a hectic one for her, since CEO Dash would not take it lightly with her if he spotted a single mistake even if it was a slight one. "Full stop! She exclaimed, as she tapped on the iPad and smiled calmly. "Finally, done with this, let's proceed to t
