SOPHIA “Yeah,” I replied, looking into those pairs of intense green eyes as they flicked across my face. He smiled, caressing my cheek with his fingers, “That look on your face, I know what it is.” “What?” I rolled my eyes waiting impatiently for what he would say next. “You are just curious,” he removed his sunglasses from his jacket suit and slowly wore it on his face looking into space.“Susan,” He called “Package that which my Angel chose, we need to leave now.” “Yes Sir,” she moved and packaged it as she walked over to me, “Here Madam,” “Miss Kingsley,” Damian corrected her as she let a lump down her throat, “Here is your dress Miss Kingsley,” “Good,” Damian added looking at her as he took out his phone, his gaze lowered on the screen. This side of him is so sweet, I lack words to express how I feel. Oh my God, he made the manager sack her employee because she looked down on me with contempt. Now, he still corrected the manager herself for calling me Madam, telling her
SOPHIA “Okay, tell everyone I'm on my way I will be at the Company in a jiffy,” He hung up tucking his phone in his jacket suit pocket as he heaved a sigh then he looked out the window, with the look on his face I could tell he is far away in his dreamland. Could it be that he lost a deal? Or maybe his company has been in the tank lately? He seemed to be lively a moment ago, but all of a sudden he is just sitting quietly like a log of wood, far away in his thoughts. Well, why am I even bothering myself, here we are going to his company and whatever it is, it will come to light. “Are you okay?” his calm voice came through and I looked at him, his orbs staring at me. I forced a smile looking at him, “I am okay,” nodding my head. “But you seem to be worried lately.” “No, I just sat quietly, no issues.” I am the one who is supposed to ask you if you are okay, you were cool a moment ago and you went silent. From the expression I noticed on your face you seemed to be thinking ab
SOPHIA “Notify everybody to be at the hall,” he gazes at his wrist watch, “In the next 5 minutes I will join them,” He hung up placing the intranet in its place as he winked an eye at me. I wonder why he loves doing it. He opened his system as he got carried away trying to get some work done while I sat quietly wondering how I would be living with the new burden mantled on me at the head of the group. “I'm not sure I can do it,” I said swiftly breaking the silence within us. He looked at me from the system, as he heaved a sigh, closing the laptop slowly, “You can do this, Angel.” Mr. Damian, I don't like it when you call me different names, when I think you want to call me, “Mrs. Damian” that is when you will come up with another name, “Miss Kingsley” and before I know you will come up with another. “I can't Damian, where should I start?” I said quickly cringing my head. “Miss Kingsley, from what I know, you studied Business Management at the University and also had dreams of
DAMIANMy Angel, I am yet to tell you the revival you brought to my life and how I always feel good around you. I made a promise to myself to make your life way better and this is just the beginning. I only offered you to be the leader of M.O Group and you wondered if it was for real. I was kidding it was for real. We got home and I glanced at Sophia silently but she never knew. I could sense she was very happy about the whole situation just that she never expected such a treat from me. +++++ I sat in the sitting room as I kept myself busy with games while I sipped chilled juices from a glass. Mehn, this game is very interesting. My opponents seemed to be very tough but I am too good when it comes to playing martial games so I have an edge over them. Since I have been playing, they only got their chances at me twice while I have won eight of the ten rounds so far played. “Sorry to bother you, Damian,” I heard a calm voice as I was busy trying to knock down my opponent with my eye
SOPHIA As Andy and I left the house I sat in the car imagining how happy Dad would be if he got to know Damian doesn't treat me like trash. I can't imagine the thousands of smiles he would put on his face. When I got into Damian's office and he offered me the documents to sign I thought I was dreaming but I wasn't. I feel special. I know I'm lucky too. We finally got home and Andy halted the car. We got out of the car as we strutted to the door, I greeted everyone I came across in the neighborhood smiling at them. I stood at the door, pressing the alarm door, I could hear Dad's voice asking, “Yes, who is it? Wait a second I am coming.” And I smiled uncontrollably making a few touches on my phone screen as I tried to dial Damian's phone number, so I could inform him Andy and I arrived at my Dad's place safe. I changed my mind and decided to text him. I grinned as I swiftly typed the text,‘Hello Damian, I have reached my Dad's place. See you soon! Love ya!’ the text reads. After a
SOPHIA I nodded as I smiled at Dad, taking up my spoon and I began eating again. Throughout the meal, Dad didn't say a word to me again but he kept staring at me nonchalantly. Whatever it was that he was thinking I didn't have a hint about it, but I guess maybe, he is just happy for me. I have known him way too long, whenever he is excited about something he doesn't seem to show that he is excited and I understand that is because of his age and because he values self-respect and reputation.I packed all the dishes to the kitchen after we finished eating so I could wash them, Dad and Addy headed back to the sitting room, and I heard Dad talking to Addy. Whatever they were talking about I couldn't hear them even though I tried to eavesdrop. So, I decided to avert my thoughts and focus on the plates I had in the sink for washing. I finished washing the dishes, and after drying my hands with the towel, I picked up my shirt and wore it on as I buttoned on while leaving the kitchen. I saw
SOPHIAHe dropped the remote control on the table as he turned to me, looking at me nonchalantly. “Angel, I need to talk to you,” he said calmly as I stared into his green eyes. Before he could say a word, we all heard footsteps descending the stairs and I turned quickly just to make eye contact with a lady as he glared at me. Who is she? What have I done to her to deserve such an evil glare from her? I let a lump in my throat as I managed to grin at her as much as possible. My sight captured Andy who happened to avert his sullen face from the sight of her as he murmured, “No shit!” adjusting the space on his face. Reading his lips, I knew that's what he muttered. I slowly looked at Damian who sat passively as my heart jumped in my heart of its own accord. With the expression on his face and with the way the lady descended the stairs, swaying her curves in styles my heart began to sink into the doldrums. ‘Keep still, Sophie,’ A voice in my head instructed as I sat attuning all
SOPHIA I had to excuse Damian and her woman since Melissa wouldn't let a minute pass by without sparing me an evil glare. I wonder if she is normal at all. “I think I have to be upstairs,” I muttered, clutching my purse firmly as I stood and ascended the stairs.Damian just stared at me passively, whatever he was thinking, he seemed to be lost very far away in his reverie. ‘Should I go in?’ I froze immediately as I reached out my hand to open our bedroom when I became conscious of Damian's mistress around. No, I can't go in right now, I had to be somewhere else. I sauntered to the rooftop and sat on the couch right in front of the swimming pool. The calm atmosphere gave me swift relief from the heaviness in my heart as I heaved a deep sigh. Lounging on the couch I closed my eyes as I lay calm. After a moment I was fast asleep but I was awakened from a phone call. I got up and frowned at the phone as it was disturbing my sleep. But when my eyes saw the caller ID my face suddenly
