“I’m sure Harvey is convinced about asking Naomi out. All I need to do is to distract her and put her attention on someone else”, Sophie said to herself. “I’ll also need to be around the boss at all times now. So while she’s busy with Harvey,I’ll be around for the boss”, Sophie gave a light laughter as she was happy about her plans. “I can definitely do this on my own, I don’t need Nora. She might tell Naomi about my plans”,Sophie thought. “She’s lucky I didn’t go with what I had in my mind. I wanted to frame her for theft so she could be kicked out”, she said out loud to herself as she was alone. “But then she proves to be lucky as Harvey shows interests in her. I could use him to get Naomi out of my way”, she muttered “This bitch doesn’t know who she messed with. And I’m only doing her the favour I promised to give back to her”,she said with a devilish smile. “Hey Harvey! You here”, she said with a smile “Again”, she whispered to herself. “Yeah. I just want
“Hi sir! It’s Sophie”, she said, hoping not to be embarrassed again. “Oh yeah I remember you, you brought the document in?”, he asked, hating the fact that he was disturbed during lunch. “Yes sir. You do remember me”, she says giving him a sweet smile he didn’t even notice “I’m sorry to disturb your meal sir, I was having mine when I saw you and decided to say hi”, she muttered “Okay. That’s good” he said, expecting her to take her leave now. “Hmm sir?” She stuttered “Yes? Is there anything you want to say?”he asked, not quite concerned. “Hmm not really sir, it was just about Mrs Steve but I’m not sure I should”, she said purposefully just to see his reaction “And what about mrs Steve?”, he finally turned to her and asked “Nothing sir. I don’t think I should say, it’s just that I’m concerned about her and about the company”, she said, faking her face like she was worried. “What about her and the company?”, he asked losing his patience “I just noticed that she’s gett
“It was so easy putting Naomi in her place. And it definitely wasn’t hard to track the boss and come up with a catchy story. I’ve secretly followed him countless times to eat lunch, so I know just where to go.” “It hurts so much that he's interested in her. He didn’t show interest in what I had to say at first but he immediately showed interest when I mentioned her name”, Sophie scoffed. “I don’t know what Naomi has done but I am definitely glad with what I’ve done too”, Sophie said smiling to herself “He’s definitely angry with her and won’t want anything to do with her. And he showed that he cares for her”,Sophie said in a sad tone as she remembered the look on Damon’s face when she mentioned Naomi. “Feelings can be broken, I’m sure after what I just told him, he won’t want to have anything to do with her”, Sophie reassured herself. “Damon is going to have eyes for me and only me”,she said to herself cheerfully. “And why are you smiling like that?” Nora asked
“Ding… crescent villa, brownwich district. Dinner on Sunday by 7pm.” His message came in before I called it a day at work and the heck he’s still bossy and straightforward in his texting. “I did not know he was damn serious about the invite and how did he get my number?”I asked myself before realising he was eventually my boss and he obviously had details on all his workers. “I just need to go home and enjoy the rest of my evening” I said, taking my bag ready to leave. “ Hi Harvey. What are you doing here” , I asked immediately as I stepped out of the elevator and was surprised to see him standing like he’s been waiting for a while. “I’ve been here for a while waiting for you, was just about to head up to see if you were very busy” he explained “Okay…”, I murmured “Hmm I also wanted to ask you out for dinner.. tomorrow?” He asked nervously, rubbing his hands together. “Ohh Harvey… What do you really want?”, I asked as I made up my mind to put a stop to anything th
“Sunday just had to come so fast and I was quite nervous on what to do or say when I’m there”,I scoffed and thought to myself as I prepared to take my leave. “I decided to put on a simple black dress, I didn’t plan on seducing or rather luring anyone with my body tonight. I still had a lot of time to do that, besides we won’t be alone tonight”, I murmured as I waited for a taxi. Anyone who heard me would definitely think I’m sad we won’t be alone tonight. Pffft..who cares about that jerk, I’m just quite nervous on meeting Mr Robert. He has no fucking idea on what Mrs stone sent me to do and Damon thinks his dad hired me solely. “Let’s just see how well this dinner would go, I don’t think anything should be too hard for Mrs stone to fix if need be”, I said quite worried but decided to not to think too much about anything tonight and just enjoy myself when I get there. “It didn’t take more than 20mins to get to my destination and I was just a few mins late. I’m sure it shouldn’t
~Mr Robert pov~ I don’t know why Vivian asked me to give Naomi a spot in the company as a secretary. She has never called to ask for anything and she went on pleading that the little lad just lost her mom and all she wanted to do is to give her assistance in the littlest way she can. There is no way I’ll tell Damon that Naomi was brought in by his step mom, he seems to care about her.And she seems to be a good girl and I’ve noticed some good changes in my boy for the short time she’s been around. Maybe my boy is coming out of his shell and overcoming the pain that has been buried deep down since he lost his mom. “Arghh!!”I exclaimed after finding it so hard to sleep but thank God it’s finally day. ‘I should really kick the jerk in his balls, all I could think about was his lips on mine.’ It was the worst night ever, and now I have to face the jerk at work. “Wait… Daniel’s coming in today, so there’s a possibility of not having to see his face”, I said, quite gl
“Daniel, are you sure you are fine?”I asked, really worried about him. “Yeah. I’ll be good, "he replied. “You know I’ve been through this before and I know for certain that you are not okay but trust me it will be fine”, I promised. “And I’ll stay with you to talk if that’s what you want”, I said reassuring him that I really just want to help. “Thanks a lot Naomi.”, he said “And I do want to talk. There’s a lot on my mind and I don’t have anyone to talk to”, he said staring at me and I could clearly see the pains in his eyes. ‘His pain reminded me of when I lost my mom and I didn’t get a lot of time to mourn her because i was forced by Mrs stone to come do her stupid bidding’, I murmured as the pain that was hidden rushed back in. “And you said you’ve gone through something like this? What did you mean by that?”, he asked as we settled down to talk. “Yes I also lost my mom and it was also not a nice experience”, I answered, getting ready to have a long talk wit
“You started the rumour right?” Nora asked Sophie standing in front of her with her hands on her hips. “What rumour?”, she feigned ignorance. “Don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about”, Nora uttered knowing fully well that Sophie was simply pretending. And it sucks that Mrs stone is in support of whatever Sophie plans on doing. “It’s no rumour, it’s simply just the truth”, she scoffed “Someone saw Naomi going into the boss’ family house”, she spilled out with so much annoyance. “So you heard and decided to spread it round the company?”“I didn’t spread it round or even told anyone about it”, Sophie defended. “So what the hell did you do?”, Nora inquired losing her patience. “Let’s say I was simply on a call when I heard the news and maybe my voice was a little too audible for people to hear”, she said snarkily “You obviously did that on purpose but I’m just trying to prevent you from making any mistake or having later regrets after doing this”, Nora t
Seeing his face the memory rushes in like a flash, reminding me of last night. “Now I’m definitely sure that jothan is up to no good,” Nora said to herself hearing her doubts clearly. Well there isn’t much to say or prove to anyone but I’m very sure he’s up to no good. “But wait… it’s his dad company so maybe he was sent to pick up something for him or for Damon himself?,” I questioned myself trying to think things through and place my suspicions rightly. I just can’t get this feeling out of me, it’s like oil rolling of my back. Maybe after all I should really be careful around him and I’ll love to let it go but no! I’m going to find out to what extent he will go if he’s truly up to something. “I’m no longer a puppy in love, following after a boy like a lost cause,” I confirmed to myself. It’s high time I do something meaningful and help find out and maybe it’ll help me clear out the guilt I feel towards Damon. I have to help out anyway I can… “
“Damon I can explain”, I shivered as I could finally open my mouth to say something. “What do you mean you can explain?”he asked, putting on an indifferent look on his face. “I mean.. you know.. I didn’t mean to”, i stammered completely scared and ashamed of myself. “Why do you look scared baby, be calm”, he uttered moving closer to me. “Uhn?” I asked in confusion. “It’s fine baby girl, I don’t want you to be scared around me and it’s completely normal if you wanted to do a research”, he said, caressing my cheeks. “Uhn?!”, I asked, completely lost and still confused. “Didn’t I just get caught ?!”I murmured to myself “Let’s call it even, I have your info and you equally have mine.”, he murmured calmly with a soft smile. “What?!”, I asked, still completely confused. “I said it’s okay baby, it’s even now I guess but I don’t want you using whatever you got there to judge me”, he said putting on a pity face. “OKay I guess”, I stammered as my heart continued to be
“You finally agreed to come out with me for dinner?”, He muttered putting on his best smile. I missed you, missed your feel against my skin, it felt like you were slowly drifting away these past weeks”, he murmured bitterly. “You know I wasn't purposely avoiding you, I needed a little space and we definitely shouldn't be too close at work”, I explained feeling a lot better and less worried after I didn't get any reply or messages for the past two weeks now. “I thought I asked you not to worry about that, I call the shots so you never have to be worried.”, He said convincingly, staring directly at my eyes. “And what happens when you don't get to call the shots anymore”, I asked, staring back at him hoping to see if he had any secret fear of that happening. It would be better if he could have such fear and be on the lookout for himself. “if I don't get to call the shots anymore then I'll still be very glad and happy to just have you by my side.”, He said with so much sincer
~Nora pov~Is he ignorant or he just boldly told Sophie a vital information that could give her access to know more and maybe, just maybe have a leverage on Naomi. I've been trying so hard not to act weirdly around him because his presence literally sends shivers down my spine. It's very weird how I feel somehow around him, like I should hide myself and be safe. I'm sure it's the fact that I was in love with him and did some very bad things for his mom and now that so-called love can't even recognize me. I would sure keep my heart locked up tight, there is nothing as heartbreaking to know he couldn't recognize me even just for the sake that I worked in his house from childhood. No inclining or anything!! Or would I say that it's okay I looked only familiar?! Nothing can truly replace this hurt in my heart and I shouldn't blame jothan right? I can just take the easy road and blame Mrs stone, she's the one behind all this and jothan should possibly know nothing and is innoce
“why did you turn down the get together meant for you?”, Sophie asked angrily but more with a disappointed look on her face. “There wasn't any need for it anymore, it ain't my first task since I've been here for a while now and besides it's my company, so why throw a party for me?”, Jothan said sitting on his desk which was beside Sophie's. “Firstly, it's Damon's company and secondly, everyone was looking forward to the get together. You know it's the one time we get to meet each other freely and have free drinks” Sophie said with a pout as she was greatly disappointed. “We both know why you wanted it to hold and trust me whatever plans you had in this little head might not have worked out well”, jothan said touching Sophie's head lightly before she pushes it away. “Don't touch me! I've warned you severally”, she called out as she felt like she was caught red handed by jothan in her schemes. “You know the only reason I haven't sued you is because you are my future brother-in
~ Mrs stone~“So you finally agreed to let my boy start working in your company”, Mrs Stone uttered through the phone with an air of sudden achievement. “I assume you called for something important and just to refresh your memory jothan’s my son too,” Mr Robert answered very irritated when he heard her voice, he was way too in a hurry to end the call with her. A call with her never amounted to anything. “Oh wow, this calls for celebration, you finally recognize him as your son?!” She spews out. “What do you mean? Did I ever once reject him?!”he responded doubting his words a little, but always losing patience with her. “Never giving your supposed son a spot in your company and taking him away from home all in the name of business school isn’t rejection enough for you?”“And why would you say such? I thought it only fair for Jothan to attend business school just as Damon did”, Mr Robert responded, never understanding the way she thought. “You don’t mind explaining why he’s at s
“Hey!”, I finally called out to him after he’s been trying for days to talk to me and I blatantly always excused myself. “Hi! Can you tell me why you’ve been avoiding me? And please be honest with me”, Damon asked, staring at me. “Nothing for real, I just needed work space. I just needed to focus”, I excused myself. There’s no way I’ll tell him it’s because I felt bad everytime I had to face him with such plans I had in stock for him. “There’s no way I’m falling for that, if there’s anyone needing space to work don’t you think it will be me?”, he asked getting a little pissed off “Or did jothan say anything to you?”, he said with eager eyes ready to chop someone’s head off. “Really? Your brother?!”“I’m running out of options here because I clearly can’t remember doing anything wrong”, he said. “I really don’t think we should be having this conversation besides I’m only your secretary and nothing more”, I said as I decided to take it a little slow with him while I made pl
“Hey mom! How are you doing?”, jothan says, answering his call. “I’m very good, in fact I’m more than just good, I’m so excited”, Mrs Stone exclaimed as she expressed herself through the phone. “Oh wow that’s great. I’m sure it’s not the fact that you are hearing my voice that makes you so excited. So I’ll take a quick guess and say it’s the fact that you’ve heard I work in the company now?”, he said as a matter of fact. “Of course I’m glad to hear your voice but don’t you think it’s absolutely great news that you’ve found your place in the company?”, she said way too excited. “I know it’s great news for you and yes I think I’m finally fit for dad”, he muttered happily. “You’ve always been good for him son, I’ve told you not to think otherwise and just sit back while I give you what you deserve”, she said with all certainty. “Don’t do anything stupid mom, I had to live with the pain of what you did to his mom for so long and I wouldn’t want that anymore”, he spoke out cle
“You don’t wanna see me around too? You're frowning like you’ve just seen an old enemy”, Jothan said coming out of Damon’s office. “Oh no I’m sorry about that I just thought of something”, I lied. “Really?! Your thoughts have perfect timing you know”, jothan said with a laugh as he tried to forget his discussion with Damon and return back to being the fun free jothan he is. “Yeah, I’m sorry about that”, I said laughing too. “So can I ask for your help”, he asked, making me think it had connections to whatever his mom is planning. “What kind of help”, I asked almost immediately. “Don’t be scared, it’s not that serious”, he said smiling. “I’m not scared, just wondering what kind of help I can render to you”, I explained. “Well before I ask for your help, I want to know for certain that you are not scared of me and you don’t think I’m like my mom?”, he questioned. “Hmm no I’m not thinking such”, I lied, faking a smile. “How were you able to fool damon? It’s so obvious yo
