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

The presentation was a hectic one. She knew her boss was out for her, especially judging from the way he asked her questions without looking back. She could see the stares from the other partners when he bombed her with really tough questions.It was unlike other presentations where one got to cover up for persons on one's team. Luckily for her, she went through the presentation properly before hand and understood it well.The presentation took about thirty minutes, that was excludin the minutes set aside for the questions. She was so relieved when she was asked to come down from the stage. Luckily for her, one of the partners signed up immediately to get involved with the new product development. She was glad she did well all the same.As soon the presentation ended, she left the hall to her office, allowing room for her boss to have any private chat he wished to with some of his partners. On getting to her office, she got a beep on her iPad. She opened the mail and was surp

The weather was quite chilly that he had to grab a coat from a nearby store to keep himself warm before heading to his destination.CEO Dash had given him a quite strategic task which he deemed suspicious, though he had no choice than to run the errand as instructed. Still, thinking about it, his instincts told him that there was something more to the task than the task itself, yet he couldn't place what. He got to the small house, a little distant from the major houses around the area. He put on the cap of the coat and zipped up the coat, then he waited for a little while before knocking. He knocked the first time, but there was no response, just as his boss had mentioned to him. He kept knocking constantly and waited till whenever the house inhabitant decided to show himself.Luckily, he heard a voice from within just as he was about to break the door with his fists. "Hey yo, who's there? I don't allow visitors, so please leave." The coarse husky voice echoed from ins

She jerked up with a start, oblivious of where she was. She could feel fear sweep through her veins, but her memory was still battered. Her vision was blurry, so she shut her eyes tightly and opened it again, this time slowly. She noticed she wasn't alone, so she turned around to verify who it was, while clutching the bed tightly. "Nathan? She asked, surprised to see him. He was the last person she thought to see as she couldn't even remember how she got there. "You're awake. Oh thank God. I'm so glad you are awake. How do you feel? He asked, walking towards her. She ignored his question. "Where is this place? Where am I? She asked, visibly shaken.Nathan paused a little before responding. "Well uhm, this is a hospital. I had to bring you here when you passed out." He answered. "Passed out? She asked quite confused. That was then the whole incident came back to mind and she realised what had happened. "Oh my God, Oh my God." She said, sobbing quietly.

The house shone with liveliness after the Omorhs moved in. Furnitures being arranged, the interior decorators moving here and there to make sure everything was placed properly, just where their client wanted. The truck carrying some of the new purchased properties arrived with their agents to help offload them. Everywhere seemed busy and quite rowdy, till about a few hours later, towards the evening. Mrs. Rachel made sure to supervise each work and confirmed every successful task done before paying the balance of the agreed payment. In no time, the house became quiet when the agents and other workers left, leaving Mrs. Rachel with her sons, Maxwell, Daniel and Jacob.They returned from their apartment the previous day to help out with the relocation and packing in. All thanks to Daisy, they were able to move out from their old house to the new place, which was lively and more suitable to live in. "At this point, I feel like leaving our house in school and coming back

She unlocked the door, singing happily as she sauntered into the house, clutching her bag and a shopping package Nathan had gotten for her. Apparently, she had said yes to his proposal, so they were officially a thing. She sighted Stacy from the sitting room and hurried over to help her out. "Oh my goodness! She said loudly, almost in a scream. What happened to you? Why are you on the floor? Daisy asked very much concerned about her.Stacy limped slightly after getting up, with the help of Daisy. "I actually slipped few minutes ago and when I heard you, I became too lazy to get up." She lied. Daisy noticed the bruise on her forehead and wondered what could have really happened. "Stacy, your forehead, what happened to you? She asked, touching there lightly.Stacy immediately moved away slowly from her and covered her face with her palm. "Daisy, I said I'm fine. I only slipped. I guess I hit my head on the table at the process of falling." She replied harshly, not want

Sitting in front of his laptop in his room which was partly dark, with only a gasoline lamp that lit the room. He stared at the laptop, fascinated by what he was seeing. He grabbed a pack of popcorn sitting on the table in front of him, then sat back to chew. He stared at the laptop for a while marvelled at the description of his new assignment.He had been asked to track a particular lady and keep tabs on her, find out everything about her and everyone connected to her. It was funny to him that two of his clients were paying differently to make use of that same woman. His job was to work for all of his clients, despite the work demands, as far as it came with a very good pay. That was Lomar, the hitman.His parents had abandoned, rather, disowned him when he was still a teenager. He joined gangs from quite a tender age and every plea, punishments and torture didn't change him, but made him worse. As soon as he clocked twenty, he left home to stay with his friends in a

She grabbed her work pad and started going through the tasks. She noticed that most of the tasks she left unattended to had been taken care of. She was really glad and grateful to whoever helped her. Thinking about it, she wondered who could have done that. CEO Dash would never in his entire life handle anything that concerned her, not after wishing her dead, she sighed. "Hold on, what if he hired someone else to replace me? She gasped, as she came to the realisation that she was easily replaceable. "Oh no, did he call me to retract my contract? Her heart skipped a millionth times.Though she wished to do away with the job, deep down, she wanted it. The job had given her access to the kind of life she had only dreamt of. She sent money home weekly each time she got her pay and had been able to save some enormous amount of money like never before. She had about five more weeks to go. She prayed her hallucinations do not turn out to become a reality, as that would be a tough one

Daisy woke up in a start, disturbed by the noise from the bathroom, she couldn't go back to sleep again even though she tried. "Oh, you're awake? Stacy asked, drying her wet hair as she strolled into the room, from the bathroom. Daisy yawned lightly. "Yeah, I'm awake, big thanks to you." She replied, still on bed.Stacy stared at her, confused by the remark she had made. "What do you mean by that? Daisy got up from the bed and headed to the bathroom. "You were noisy." She answered, dragging her legs. Realising what Daisy meant she apologised. "I'm really sorry D, I didn't mean to." She said loudly so she could hear. Daisy came back to the room and sat on the bed, staring at Stacy. She noticed that she behaved a little awkward and weird, which she found suspicious. "Stacy, are you good? She asked, making it obvious that she didn't fancy the new her, if there was anything as that.Stacy smiled faintly and nodded, too weak to fake a broad smile. "Actually, I'

CEO Dash dash was seated in his private lounge in his house, a glass of wine in his hand. He sipped calmly, as he thought about how to work on something that had been bothering him. He had asked Nathan and some of his trusted allies to help him out, but all had proved abortive. He knew they had done a good job, but needed something much better than the casual responses he had been getting. It had been several weeks since he heard from his mother. His other siblings had said the same thing when he had called to complain to them. Each time he called, he would always be redirected to voicemail and he got scared. He needed to see his mother, she was the one he could easily share his ordeal with whenever he was having any issues whatsoever. His father had said that she was in her private vacation home, which she had purchased secretly, hoping to stay there and recover fully before returning home. He didn't trust his father one bit, especially coupled with the fact that he d

It was a bright Saturday morning. As usual, the roads were less busy than the week days, since a lot of persons In the area preferred to be indoor than leave the comfort of their home when it's not work. Stacy was dressed already and ready to bounce. She had decided to go shopping that morning, to restock the house as a surprise, because Daisy was scheduled to be released from the hospital that faithful day. She was so excited to have her friend back that she had planned a bunch of surprises. She locked the door properly, then turned the keys again to confirm she actually did so, properly. Hitting the road, she flagged a taxi and headed to the supermarket close by. She had a list of things she put down she was going to get, especially items she knew Daisy would love. "I really don't know, but I feel I'm too excited. Isn't that strange? She mumbled to herself while picking out some items from the stock. She got them one after the other, according to the various se

Mr. Shaw stared at the magazine bluntly, showing no detectable facial expression, as he puffed the tobacco occasionally. Another glance at the next column of the magazine, he frowned, displeased by what he had just read."Is something meaningful no longer happening around here? No catchy headlines, no interesting stories about rise in stocks, collapse of a company, rise of the victorious one. Every single thing looks so predictable and it disgusts me." He lamented to no one in particular since he was the only one in his private office.He kept checking the pages one after the other, but was not satisfied with whatever he was seeing. "I miss the days when I still was young and vibrant. I mean, every week, I birthed new headlines for the people. Whether directly or indirectly. The current youngsters are too lenient with themselves." He complained.He flipped to the last page of the magazine, which after he had gone through, he tossed it fiercely on the floor. He puffed the tobacco, inha

It was drizzling and was about to start raining heavily when she got to the house. She had just returned from the hospital after her second visit to see Daisy just as she had earlier promised. Her driver had dropped her off in front of her house as usual and drove off.She was glad the rain didn't meet her outside as she had this personal issue with rainy days, especially the heavy ones. She searched for her keys in her bag till she found it after some fumblings. She inserted the key into the keyhole and tried to unlock the door when she noticed that the door was open. She stared at it for a while, wondering if she had left it open that morning while leaving for work, but she couldn't remember exactly. After a furtile thinking, she overlooked it, then she went into the house and locked the door properly. As she turned on the light, she saw a manly figure sitting on the sofa just right there in the sitting room, backing her. She couldn't see who it was and fear gripped he
