Lucy.

I stood in front of my mirror and examined my look for the day. It was just going to be another boring day at Mr.Christian's office.

Honestly, I didn't know how long I was going to work for him. I came to him with a request, but he didn't give me a reasonable answer and instead asked me to work for him, in order for him to spare Harrison Journal. Yet, I didn't know what his main motive was.

It was long before I was going to work for him.

It was initially two weeks for Mr. Frederick He had added another week, making it three weeks, however, two weeks had gone by already. Harrison Journal had just one more week to pay the sum of 10 million dollars. And when that is done, I will be out of Caspian Power, collect my pay for the time being, and leave for my former job.

Grabbing my handbag from the table, I made my way out of my room. I closed the door behind me and made my way downstairs.

I stopped midway on the stairs when I saw my Brandon sitting on the couch, with his glued to

    Christian. "I will be there in about thirty minutes. " "Come on, that's a long time to keep me waiting. You know what; I will just go ahead and you can meet me there." Laura furiously answered. I didn't say anything, just let her do whatever was on her mind. I was the beneficiary here, so I was just going to go with whatever thing she decided. After all, things would last just for a moment. When I got what I wanted, I was going to let go of her. Women were not my thing, neither was she. I was just putting this up because I needed her father in my project. "Did you get the flowers?" I asked Miss Juliet who stepped into my office, with a smile plastered on her face. I usually wonder why she always has that on her face, each time she walks into my office. And behind the smile, you could tell that, there was nothing genuine about it. People who always have those sinister smiles on their faces are always up to no good. "I have handed it over to Salvador. He took them from

    Lucy. From the look of things, I don't see Mr. Frederick paying that money before this week runs to an end. He was left with just two days to pay the money. He hasn't been making any efforts. I didn't want to call him or talk to him about the money as a result of my relationship with him. If there was a way that I could leave his company and never go back, I would be grateful. However, right now, there was absolutely no hope for me. Where I was right now, I didn't know if I should be happy that I was working with Christian because it had made me taken some time away from Mr. Frederick. However, Christian wasn't making my life any better. How could he tell me not to eat too often? That I might become fat or add weight, if I eat too much. He didn't know that, it was one of my therapies when I was with my former Boss. The only thing that could keep my mind off the nasty things he used to say to me, was food. I was a foodie before working for my former Boss, but it

    Lucy. The two weeks giving by Mr. Christian to my company to pay their bills, were completely over. I mean, today was the last day. Hopefully the man had the money to pay. But knowing who Mr. Frederick was, I doubt if he would do that. Hopefully, he doesn't because I felt like I was having my best time at Caspian power than at Harrison Journal. "You are still in the house again, Brandon? What excuse to you have to give me this time?" He has been staying home lately and wouldn't tell me what was going on with him. I have been going through all this hardship, because I wanted him to go to school and make a name for himself, but he would rather get up everyday and stay in the house. Who does that? "Okay fine..." he turned around looked at me as I came down the stairs. "I was driven from school about two days ago because I haven't completed my tuition. And again our exams are fast approaching and I haven't paid anything yet." He explained. "Why didn't you tell me before now.

    Christian. "What do you want again, Ophelia?" I Pivoted towards my maid, standing at the door, fidgeting with her fingers. Wasn't she old enough to do that? "Ummm, I want to know when you will bring the new maid as you promised?" She blinked at me , with hope in her eyes. Did I ever promised her that? Oh !oh! A smile curved on my lips. "Hopefully tomorrow. Just get back to work." She slightly bowed her head and went back inside. I strode to the car. Salvador was not driving me to work today. My father had sent for him. He said he had some work he wanted him to do, since Salvatore was the only person he could trust. After I left dinner with Miss Laura, I came back home that night. Her father had called me and asked when I was planning on getting married to his daughter. That was a funny question, because I didn't see myself getting married in the nearest future. Not to her, not to anyone else. However, to keep him invested in my project, I had told him to give me s

    Lucy. "So you're telling me that the old man has another woman aside you?" Majorie blinked her eyes in shock. I looked at her confused. I glanced at her across my bed. "What are you talking about?" She had this wicked grin on her face. She was sitting across from me on the sofa, while I was sitting on the bed. My room was big, so I used that opportunity to make it as a sleeping room and a living room. However, the closet and bathroom were different. "Of course, did you nit tell me that, the old man has been trying to lay down with you." I got up from bed, with lightning speed, skipping over the table, I extended my hand and grabbed the packet of chips in her hands. "Come on, you are not going to finish my chips for me." Within seconds, I was back in my position on the bed. "Wait, you mean all that gymnastics was just to get a packet of chips out of my hand?" She widened her eyes, with her mouth opened and I could get a glimpse of chips still in her mouth. I was

    Lucy.I was surprised at what he said. How was that even possible? That was not in our agreement. How could I possibly quit my job, and go work for him in his house?He should settle whatever thing he has with Mr. Frederick, they shouldn't get me involved in it."We didn't have any agreements on that. How can I do that?"I looked at him, still in bewilderment. "If I can remember correctly, you came to my office and pleaded with me, which I accepted. We made a deal that you will work for me for two weeks, and by the end of those two weeks, your Boss should be able to pay the money..."He leaned forward with his eyes bulging holes on my face."However, he hasn't paid yet, which means that our deal continues."This man was something else. Wait! Didn't Mr. Frederick called me yesterday and told me that he had put out the lights at the company? Then what was all this about again? "You already put out the lights, so what again huh?

    Christian. "Alright, Laura. I will find time within this week to come and see him.""Better keep up to that."I didn't wait for her to say another word again, as I dropped the call. I told her father to give me some time for me to think this whole thing through. I don't understand why he keeps bugging me to give him answers. His daughter can go ahead and marry another man. Goodness!They're all stressing me out.Lucy hasn't reported to work this morning. I had called her earlier and she told me that she was still trying to convince her mother. Well, I'm happy she accepted. At least Ophelia would have some burdened relief of her shoulders. The two of them would go along just well.Knock!Knock!"Come in!" I answer in irritation. I don't like when people keep knocking on my door for more than a minute. "Good morning Boss." Miss Juliet mapped into the room, with a black file pressed against her chest.

    Lucy.I was standing at the front gates of my house waiting for the person Mr. Christian said would come and pick me up. I wouldn't have mind, if he came by himself. I don’t know whom he wanted to come pick me up. What if it's someone who isn't trustworthy?Who would come and take me somewhere else, other than Mr. Christian's home. Well, no hard feelings. I was trying to be positive. I stood there, waiting for whoever would come. I had just two bags of clothes with me, one was red and the other black. It was so difficult for me to convince my mother about this new plan. However I had to explain everything to her detaily.I had even called Majorie to come by my side as backup. And guess what? My mother only listened when she spiced the whole thing up.Majorie was the one who made me change my mind about taking the offer. Hence, she was in a better position to convince my mother to let me leave. I didn't tell her what has been transpiring between Mr. Frederick and I. I

    Lucy's POV. Christian and I had left work early because we had to go meet my mother. I had called and told her that, I will be coming over with a guest. I didn't tell her wo it was. I didn't want her to be all over the place."You can park your car here." I pointed at the empty parking lot. He nodded and drove us over.When he was fully parked, we got down from the car and made our way to the door.As we walked through the front door, I could feel my excitement mingling with nervousness. I had no idea how my mother would react to seeing the famous Mr. Christian in person. She had heard about him. But I doubted if she had ever seen him in person. "Mom, I'm home!" I called out, pushing the front door open as Christian and I entered the house.My mother stood up from her favourite spot in te living room, her eyes widening as she caught sight of Christian beside me. "Lucy, is that... is that Mr. Christian?" she asked, her voice filled with surprise.I couldn't contain my grin as I nodd

    Christian's POV. "So, you mean to tell me that, Mr. Frederick has refused to abide by the rules I gave him and went on to do his own thing? He is even planning on launching an attack on me and also spreading false rumors about me over the internet?" I looked over at Tony as we sat around the dining table. I had called him earlier yesterday, but he told me he was busy and only come this morning so that we could talk about what was going on and here he was telling me about Mr. Frederick who has refused to abide by the rules I gave him.This man sure didn't know who exactly he was playing with."Exactly what I heard him say. I know there was something off about that man, the moment I went to his office. To clear my doubts, I keep an eye on him and every step he made and that is exactly the information I got from him."I slammed my fist on the table in anger because I couldn't believe that after all that he had done, instead of giving him a great punishment, I decided to give him s

    Lucy's POV. It has been a wonderful day and I couldn't wait to go back to that office to be with ChristianI haven't imagined this all my life to be with someone like him all my life I mean the guy who gives light to this country. It was like, when he says they should be light, there will be light and when he says there should be no light, there will be no light at all.Ever since I have been growing up, I have only heard stories about him and never really taken that into consideration.Never in my life, had I ever imagined that we two would become a thing and up to the extent that I was working for him. All that felt surreal and I couldn't just bring myself to think about it. I walk into the house all smiles.There was nothing else in my head for me to think about, except Christian and the little moments we have been having together.I walked into the living room to meet my mother watching some television series.She was so focused that, she didn't even notice me enter the hou

    Christian's POV Lucy and I drove out of the company at the same time. When we were on the highway, she took the direction that led to her house while I drove to my father's house. I wonder why he was calling me. I drove into the yard and parked my car in the parking lot. I got out of the car and found George standing at the entrance of the house, with his hands behind his back, a smile plastered on his face. He is always there waiting for me, whenever he hears of my arrival. "Thank you," I told him as he took my bag inside. "Is my father in?" I asked as I followed him behind. "Yes, he is in the private living room and he has been waiting for you all day." I nodded and walked past him to the stairs Waiting for me all day. I had told him I would be coming over after work. There was no need for him to be overly dramatic. I don't know if George was the one exaggerating the whole thing or if my father had indeed been waiting for me all day. Nonetheless, I knew my f

    Christian's POV. I drove home, feeling quite excited. I was getting it all back together. That girl was a gem. Something precious that I was definitely going to lose, if I didn't act fast about it.Thank Lucy for her self control that we had to stop, well, not that I didn't have any self control left. I did, but with her, it was hard for me to control myself. I went directly to the parking lot and parked my car.Closing the door, I took out the keys and made my way to the double doors that led to my house. "You should have seen him that week. He looked like he could kill somebody, until father and I had asked him to go after her rather than stay here in the house and act all moody."I heard Kevin explain and stopped, then a fist of heavy laughter bumped inside the house. "Then he went after her?" The other voice asked, still laughing. "Yes, I think he must be with her now that we speak."They went on and on and I decided to open the door. I couldn't stand there and hear them

Well well, I couldn't believe that things would end like this.We finally fixed things and everything would finally be okay now between us.Majorie and I were talking about me getting a job and I didn't know that it was going to come this quick and look at this now.Just right in front of me. I didn't even need to work so hard for it. Well, I'm happy to say the least Christian and I have been talking for the past two hours now.I kept asking him about how he has been coping and all that. I actually wanted to ask about Cyrus , like where he was and all that, if they had finally settled the difference between them. But I couldn't bring that up, given how much he disliked the guy.He was his friend and people do make mistakes but I don't understand if they have been something between them before the world Cindy stuff or it was just some mere thing. Nonetheless, I'm glad that I was finally seeing some light in his eyes, given the situations he had been through. It must ha

I got dressed, ensuring I looked presentable, and left for workAs the day went by, my mind kept drifting towards Lucy.I couldn't concentrate on my tasks; her absence had left a void in my heart. I never thought something like this would ever happen to me, but here I was. My thoughts being invaded by a girl, a mere girl.The funniest thing is, I should be angry for what did, but I was not. Instead, I find myself, wanting the spent the rest of my days with her.Thoughts of our last conversation played on repeat in my mind, making me wonder what had happened between us.I wrapped up my work and put a few office things together before leaving for home. It's become difficult for me to concerntrate on my work because all I do is to sit and think of her.The ride back was filled with contemplation.

    Lucy's POV I don't know why I was sad about his response to what I asked him back in the car.That did not sit quite right with me or is it the fact that I did not ask it directly? However, I didn't say anything as I made my way to marjorie's house. I was hurt but there was nothing I could do. I had done him wrong and I know that he was taking that on me even though he was not showing it, not that he told me but I knew for a fact that he was taking that on me. Perhaps, this was my faye and I just have to accept it and just let everything go.As the saying goes, if you love something, you should let it go. If it comes back to you, it was yours but if it doesn't come back then it was never yours to begin with. Maybe that was the case between Christian and I This was never meant to be. The earlier I come to terms with it, then the better for me .I decided to brushed all those thoughts off my head, even though I know it was going to take a long time. But for the time being,

    Christian's POV. I know exactly where Lucy was going to, when she asked me that" so what now?" However, I didn't have any answer to give to that or let's just say, I wanted to clear my head off these things that were around me before anything else. I needed to deal with Mr. Frederick first and make sure that every other thing was in place before I could get to her and let her know of my intentions. She must have it in her mind that perhaps I was just trying to use her or maybe it was still about what she had done and that I was going to use it against her. However, that was not the deal. She has always been in my heart and she would always be. I just needed to fix a few things before I can call her put her down and we can talk about us and if we want to continue this or we just let it slide. I drove back to the house because I had already finished everything I wanted to do at the company so I couldn't go back there. When I got inside the living room, I could perceive so
