S STANLEY’S POV Immediately I stepped down from the car and walked to the place where Petals was waiting for me with her friend, the friend suddenly made an expression that got me startled. “Oh my God! Matthew! How come I am seeing you in person? This is fascinating” she screamed loudly as soon as she set her eyes on me, making me pause in surprise. “Who? Are you talking to me?” I asked, pointing to my chest and she nodded happily “I am sorry but you have got the wrong person” was my response but she shook her head that she was sure that she wasn’t wrong about what she was saying Petals had to step into the awkward situation and cautioned her that I was not Matthew but Stanley. “Tolu, what do you mean by Matthew? This is Stanley, he’s the one I told you about” she muttered to her but it was loud enough for me to hear. “Oops! I must have made a mix up, he looked so much familiar with someone I know” Tolu finally stated and Petals apologized on her behalf “No, that’s not a probl
I met him attending to something important on a call with one of the departments but didn’t hesitate to sit into his laps to his surprise. I was feeling happy, thankful with a little bit of naughty and he was quick to pick up the signal because immediately, he wrapped his big hands around my waist to keep me still till he was done.Since there was a button that controlled the door at his table, I needed not fear that anybody could come in at any time and just relaxed in his arms.“Baby, do you think I would be able to concentrate with this? Your whole existence distracts my sanity” he whispered close to my ears and I smirked, trying so hard not to snort.I only adjusted myself well to what he said and I could hear his soft grunt in my ear before he leant closer to me and aimed for my lips. I closed my eyes waiting for whatever it is to come but I felt his hand slid across my neck and heard something snap.My eyes opened alongside the sound to see him smiling as he was looking at me ke
The garden was buzzing with several guests that had come from far and near to grace the party that Chairman Antonio was throwing and they were being welcomed and ushered in to be greeted by Madam Antonio who was dressed in a Magenta gown decorated with expensive flowery furs and snatched together at the waist shiny golden accessories.She was welcoming everyone with a big smile on her face because it was also her win of course and she had her own role to play so as to make the guests feel welcomed to the party.“Thank you for coming all the way from New York, your constant support is always amazing” she said to a foreign couple who also attendedThe wife returned the smile cheerfully and gave her a soft kiss on the cheeks as a means of greeting.“Oh no Josie! There’s no need to thank us. We both know what you have done for us and our business, it would actually be rude of us not to attend, cheer you up and congratulate you on this immense achievement. You deserve everything good” she
The party started and everyone was having the best time before Chairman Antonio arrived to give his welcome and thank you speech to everyone who was present.“In the course of the preparation for the office, my campaign and even during the election, so many people helped me out in the best of their abilities. From my wonderful family to every single person, I owe this win to you and I am very grateful for your support. Be rest assured that I will fulfill all my promises in this office and will make sure that this tenure of mine will be comfortable for all and sundry. Continue to support me and I will work hard to repay every favor. Thank you once again and enjoy the party, there is a lot to eat and drink” he said into the microphone with a little laugh at the end and everyone gave him a round of applause.Marcus scoffed where he was beside Monica and muttered “It’s not like the family is ever wonderful, you only do whatever you like and shove it down our throats” as he joined in on th
MONICA’S POVI was thoroughly disturbed about the feedback my secretary brought me about the people that I told her to contact and schedule a meeting with. I knew it would be an easy move but I was not expecting such a large percent to turn me down immediately.“I thought they said they were loyal to my mother, why are they refusing to help her daughter then? With everything I have done for them in the company to show that I am capable of carrying on her legacy, they still do not trust me enough?” I kept muttering to myself as I drove to the address Madam Antonio sent to me.I was glad that I accepted her lunch invitation, if not I would have been curled up in my office and getting depressed over the fact that what I wanted was not working. With those thoughts running through my mind, I pulled up in front of the cozy restaurant and was ushered immediately without even asking me any question about my identity.“The madam had given us the instruction to usher you inside immediately you
Marcus stood in front of the mirror dressed in his tailored suit as he checked himself out. Several thoughts were running through his head as he stared at himself.“Will I do well? I am afraid that I will mess everything up. I have never done this in my entire life” he kept soliloquizing to himself as he waited for the person who was to pick him up.“You are ready sir, shall we?” his secretary walked into the room with a bright smileHe turned to see who was talking because the voice was unfamiliar and saw a new face standing in front of him in a blue shirt and black knee length skirt. She was neatly dressed and stood politely with her hands in front of her abdomen.“And you are?” he asked, staring at her“Your new Secretary, sir. You can call me Amy” she gentle responded“I see, Amy.” He muttered and added “Please take care of me. As you can see, I have a lot to learn” “I will be glad to be of great help to you sir. It is my pleasure” she answered and gave a slight bowHe turned to
Irene, Monica and I grew up together and they knew that I was always reserved. I rarely use the harsh and curse words except I was extremely worked up. I didn’t have any choice but to lash at Irene when she kept questioning the reason why I had to go to the hospital.“Irene! Can you fcking go to the hospital?” I growled coldly and I could see her shudder at my actions.“Hey Petals, is something wrong? You rarely get worked up like this” she muttered, trying not to rile me up the more but I rather kept quiet than yell at her again so I just glued my eyes to the road instead.We all arrived at the hospital and I asked for one of the doctors that I was acquainted with. Thankfully, he was around and not busy so he attended to us without hesitation.“I don’t know why these spots keep getting many instead of disappearing. They told me that they were syringe marks that he obtained during the time he was sick at the hospital but they weren’t as many as this those times. I wonder why it keeps
“Why are you being like this? Is something attached to the orphanage? Do you even know the woman?” I asked, rushing after him as he left the room in a hurry.He paused and sighed. “I told you that everyone in that picture are the people I am looking for to complete a specific task. They are extremely needed” he responded, trying not to sound too sensitive“Oh I see but that woman is not in her right state of mind though” I stated and it got him puzzled again“What do you mean by she’s not in the right state of mind? Did something happen to her?” he questioned and I shrugged“I don’t know the origin of her sickness but then she’s living in the small building at the back of the orphanage. I happened to walk in on her by chance and I couldn’t find out any reasonable information about her but then one thing was obvious, her love for the kids” I explained“She has always loved the kids like her own children. Only her has their best interest at her” he mumbled between his breath and I nodde
