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.
She knocked, pushed the door open and sauntered in hurriedly. As soon as she set eyes on Daisy, she became a little relieved. "Oh my baby girl." She said almost amidst tears and hugged her tightly. "What happened to you? She asked, releasing her grip. Daisy was excited to see her as well, glad that she wouldn't be left alone, since she didn't trust anyone around, not even the doctor. She thought of a lie to tell to make it believable, as she didn't want Stacy knowing what had occured the previous day. "Hey, Daisy." She called, bringing her back to reality. "Are you okay? She asked, very concerned about her.Daisy nodded, faking a brief smile. "I am better than yesterday." She responded. She scooped some cereals into her mouth and chewed slowly, because she had a bruise on her cheek. "Tell me what happened to you. You look like a mess, what are you hiding from me? Stacy pressurised.Daisy sighed lightly before responding. "Actually, I got robbed yesterday by
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
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 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
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
