“Charles Davenport speaking”

“Hello mister Charles, this is Mr Ethan on the line, I am calling on behalf of my boss Antiono Rasemela who is currently not on seat in acceptance of the business proposal your company made with Rasemela's company on the 28th of July 2007”.

“Alright, I want to see your boss Antiono, can I get an appointment for that”. Charles said, looking at himself as he adjusted his tie in front of his mirror.

“My boss?, I would get you an appointment since you are making a business deal with our company, by the way I am Ethan, his assistant secretary in charge of business deals in this company”. Mr Ethan said as he looked into Antiono's schedule for the week.

“Okay Mr Ethan thanks for calling bye now”. He hanged up

Heaving a deep sigh of relief, Charles for a second thought Antiono wouldn't accept his business proposal,of course he never wanted to partner with his company,he was only doing this for Irene.

Irene got the kids dressed up for school, made breakfast for them and took them off to the car were they headed for school, Antiono's parents had already left, his mom left a serious threatening note warning Irene against falling in love with her son , Irene didn't want Antiono to see that so she kept it to herself, Although she was scared she made up her mind to obey his parents since they meant what they said about Antonio never getting married to a poor girl like her.

“Good morning babe”. Antiono said smiling as he walked down the stairs.

Irene didn't reply to him , she just walked off like she never had seen him before. In the midst of his confusion he got scared,Irene hadn't acted that way before what was going on.

“Hello good morning Boss, it's Ethan speaking”.

“Ethan what's up,why calling now”. Antiono said as he looked towards Irene who was now cleaning up the dishes.

“Sir it's about Davenport's partnership with the company,the CEO of the company requested an appointment with you”.

“How's my schedule next week?”.

“Fair enough for a brief meeting with him”.

“Alright then”. Antiono said as he hung up.

Sounds of the ceramics plate were heard around the huge quiet mansion.

Was it now like that, was she going to lock up like that towards him all day , she doesn't even know what she's doing to him. Antonio thought ,he couldn't get his mind focused on the laptop he was operating.

Irene entered his room, served his breakfast of black hot coffee and waffles garnished with honey and strawberry. Irene seemed to notice that that was his favorite breakfast in the morning .

“Sir we need to talk”.

Antonio coughed ,he wasn't expecting it, Sir?, was that it now?.

“Talk about what?”.

Irene, feeling obviously unease, let the words out like a bomb shell.

“I would love to resign now , I am no longer interested in working here”.

They stood in silence for a few long seconds.

Antonio looking down at his waffle was deeply confused, he didn't know where to start from

Irene stood her ground,she was weak within but couldn't show it, of course she loves him ,she loves him dearly that was why she had to leave for peace sake.

Antonio standing up from his seat,moved closer to the delicate figure standing before him, a rare beauty of this time,she was special and beautiful. He held her small hands.

“If this is about my parents, leave it to me”. He said as he stared deeply into the already watery eyes.

Irene stood helpless, staring at him, he sure knew how to stare up everything within her , she was already feeling the heat of his eye staring at her soul. NO!She must stay strong.

“I can't Antonio, I really can't ,I am being selfish, the other day you had to go through the trauma of my Ex wasting your time, now this, please just let go plea-”.

Antiono kissed her ,not minding she was still talking, the feel of her succulent lips drew his kiss more and more intense,he took it softly until she finally gave In

Warping herself around him,she clinged her hands around his broad shoulders. Antiono held his hands around her waist as he lifted her up .

They made love passionately.

“You always have a way to turn things around Antonio! ,things aren't going to be this way forever.” Irene said as she laid on his chest.

“Why can't they be like this, why must they change?”. Antiono said as he held her hair, messaging her hands.

“Do you love me?”. Antonio asked surprisingly

She wasn't quick to answer,she thought about it.

“I love you ,I have always loved you, you accepted me despite my background, you make me happy”.

Antiono smiled, he loved the way she said it, with such confidence.

“Then trust me, I would fight for this love please”.

They stood silence for few minutes, Irene heaved a deep sigh

Antonio Adjusted his tie as he stared at the large mirror in front of him , he was going to meet Charles Davenport today for the supposed business proposal. Only if Charles knows how Antonio wasn't just ready for this meeting.

“ You're up early!Good morning Antonio”. Irene said "serving on a plate containing scrambled eggs and fries.

Antonio was already used to Irene's behavior of neglecting the fact that she was now more than a housekeeper to him.

He drew her closer to him ,held her waist and gave her a kiss on her forehead.

“Morning Babe”. Antiono said smiling at Irene who was now blushing.

“Morning Antiono”. Irene smiling and running of to the kitchen

Was she actually shy , hadn't she seen him on a suite before. Antiono ate up his breakfast and headed off to work. Of course he wasn't really in the mood to get Irene’s attention this morning,he had to get his business deal secured first.

Charles Davenport wasn't really good at recognizing people but he did surely recognized Antiono from the hangout night club his boys attended then in high school, could he be the same Antiono Rasemela he thought.

“Good morning Sir,this is Charles Davenport the CEO of the Opendraty company,the same man who proposed a deal with your company”. Ethan said as he paused to catch up with his breath , Ethan was being more like a professional this morning Antiono thought.

“Antiono Rasemela”. Antonio lending his hand forward for a handshake.

Why this man of all people to steal his very own Irene. Charles thought ,he was in-between jealousy and hatred, the more Antiono spoke to him,the more his hatred for Antiono.

“Charles Davenport I really appreciate your offer and as long as my team is holding 75percent interest from it then there's no problem”.

“Alright then, thanks for your cooperation Mr Antiono”. Charles looked into Antiono's eye with what felt like both hatred and a smile. Antiono unconscious of what happened offered Charles a dinner to he’s house.

“You should probably come over to my house,my girlfriend cooks really well, trust me there's no better place to want to eat”.

“Really nice, thanks”.

“6:00 pm this evening”.

“Sure”.

Mabel said They was silence for some seconds “Irene and I had been close friends since 4th grade, so trust me I can't be lying when I say something like this,I don't know how you would see it but all am doing is just for your own good Mr Antiono”.

Natasha said as she drew closer and closer towards Antonio,she swayed her hands freely on Antiono's chest. “Of course I love you Antonio, let's just stop all this and get married already”. Natasha said, looking at Antonio seductively. “Stop this nonsense right now Natasha”. Antiono said as he looked up the staircase.

    Everything felt weird. Irene stared confusedly at the ceiling ,her eyes rolled around the room . Sitting up straight on the bed she felt the texture of the bed with the tip of her fingers. She stood moving round the room placing her hands on whatever was close to her. Irene pulled off her clothes,she walked straight into the bathtub as she turned on the shower. The feel of chillness sprang round her as the water flowed down her body. Irene spent half an hour in the bathtub with water rushing all over her body. She was deeply in thought about the whole matter. She felt pity on Antiono and the kids. “Only if she didn't apply for the job in the first place, only if her dad hadn't died she was definitely going to go to uni and probably won't have any need to be a housekeeper”. She blamed it on herself and her family. A few minutes later Irene was done with bathing,she cleaned up her body and applied her lotion. She was ready for another day.
