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.
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
