Eve left Olivia's apartment at noon. She returned home feeling different. She was feeling relaxed and confident. It was as if a wave of reinvigoration had enveloped her. She went ahead and told the women in the hate group about the contract she had just signed with Henry. However, she didn't let them know about the changes Henry effected.The next morning, Eve woke up and after a few workouts in her bedroom, she headed to the bathroom. Henry had already informed her that office hours were from 8 am to 4 pm but being the boss, he shows up at 9 am hence she should be at work before 9 am.After taking a shower, Eve stood in front of her wardrobe with a towel tied across her chest, her legs apart with two fingers on her jaw. She was finding it difficult to pick an outfit. She had concluded that she will go shopping once she returns from work that evening since she still had some money in her savings account. With the devious plan she and Olivia had earlier devised, Eve knew that her choi
Anthony nodded. " I'm sorry Eve. We started on the wrong foot......It surprises me that Henry hired a woman for the first time."Eve smiled. "Well, it is what it is.""Welcome to the company and congratulations for emerging as Mr. Richard's assistant," Anthony said while demanding a handshake."Thank you." Eve shook him with a warm smile. "And congratulations on your promotion.""So if you are ready? I can briefly tell you what your job is all about and show you around the place later.""That will be lovely.""You know what assistants do right? " began Anthony."I'm going to be honest with you. I don't know what this Job is all about but I'm a fast learner." Eve stated."It's okay if you've never been an assistant before but it's an easy yet difficult task as long as you know how the business works," Anthony replied.Eve sighed. How was she going to let Anthony know that she knows nothing about the business and this was some sort of contract. She wanted to yell to Anthony that she was
Eve began taking a few steps toward Henry. She could sense the uneasiness in his eyes. She smiled inwardly and settled on the chair."I love this office. I don't think there's so much change to be done here" Eve told Henry with her eyes rolling around the office."You love the office? I mean are you okay with everything?" Henry demanded. He sat on the sofa beside Eve and adjusted his collar.Eve caught Henry staring at the opening on her dress and she cleared her throat loudly forcing him to lift his head."Well, everything is covered. If you need anything, just go ahead and ask for it." "I know what to do Henry.""It's Sir." Henry corrected her with a firm stare.Eve nodded. "Yes sir.""After the incident yesterday, I wasn't expecting you to show up." Henry spat. Eve flipped her head and bent over, presenting her bossom to him "And what made you think I wouldn't show up?"He turned away. "Well, since you weren't cool with the contract rights, I thought that you won't come at all an
Before entering Henry's office, Eve noticed the way Stacy kept staring at her. She knocked slightly and went in after Henry gave the permission."You sent for me sir," she said immediately after walking in."My car broke down but luckily it broke down at the entrance just after I reached the office this morning."Eve wondered why Henry was talking to her about his car."I need you to get a mechanic and have it taken away because it's not supposed to be there," Henry said."Okay, sir.""You have an hour." "Noted." She left.Henry thought she might ask for the contact of his mechanic or seek direction on how to manage the car but instead, she disappeared. He grabbed his pen, fondled the tip and imagined how he was going to scold her once she returned with excuses.Immediately Eve walked out of Henry's office, she walked straight to Mrs Wayne's counter."Hi, Mrs Wayne. I need your help." "Yes, sure. How may I help you?" replied the cheerful Mrs Wayne?"I need you to connect me with a m
She gave him an eye roll. "Some ego?""Yes. A little ego." "My ego is not little, you know. It's quite big" Eve said and fixed her seat belt.Henry smiled. "I should have left you in the rain instead." He teased her."If you didn't persist, I would have still been there having my peace.""Having your peace? Under this rain?" Henry shook his head."Did you see the way you ran into the car when the showers became more intense?"Eve smiled and shook her head. She noticed that Henry was in a cheerful mood so she decided to probe him.She cleared her throat. "So every day you come to the office at 9 am and return at 4 pm?" she began."Well, it's not always that way. Sometimes I go home at night when I have a lot of work to do and on other days, I close early. Sometimes I go home before 2 pm so it all depends on the work at hand." Henry explained and took a sharp turn."Well, it's obvious you are a busy man. I guess the only time you get to spend with your kids is weekends." Eve said with
The next day, Eve walked into the office building and the first person she saw at the reception was Mrs Wayne."Good morning!" she greeted her smiling brightly."You are going to get these young workers fired one of these days," replied Mrs Wayne with a smile."You must be joking Mrs Wayne? What are you talking about?""I'm not joking Eve. You just keep looking hotter and hotter by the day" "It's so cold in here so I felt like turning the heat on," Eve said with a blink.They both laughed and Eve made her way to Henry's office. She was wearing a sleeveless black top over a gean trouser with a cowboy boot.Stacy saw Eve coming and she sat up. "Good morning Stacy." Eve greeted her while waving a hand at her.Stacy cleared her throat and adjusted her spectacles. "Morning!"Eve stopped at her desk. "Can I get his schedule for the day?"Stacy brought out a sheet of paper and handed it to Eve. "Mr Richard is not in the office."Even smiled while glancing through the paper. "I know," she re
"You must be Eve Bloom right?" began one of the women. She was so white that Eve thought she was looking pale.Eve nodded. "Do I know you?" she demanded with uncertainty in her tone.The other woman giggled. She was about Eve's age and was smartly dressed. She had blonde hair."We work here."Eve nodded repeatedly. "I see!""So we heard you are Mr Richard's new assistant." said the blonde-haired after dropping her bag on the table."Well if you've heard it then it's true," Eve replied, wondering over the purpose of their visit."How did you get the job?" the other lady fired back.Eve threw back the menu card. "Excuse me, Is this some sort of interrogation or what?""Just tell us how you got the damn job.""Are you fucking kidding me? It's none of your business." Eve screamed. The people in the canteen began to turn around.The blonde-haired lowered her head and reduced her tone. "We are all women here and Eve or whatever you call yourself, we all know how you got the job."Eve shook
Even though Henry had just asked her to head to his office, Eve acted as if she didn't hear the command. She walked up to Kingsley and Franklin."So when are you going out? How about a weekend? We could stay out till dawn on Friday or maybe Saturday. That way, we can get to know each other more." she told them.Henry was beside her and the men were shivering already."I said you should head to my office right now!" Henry said."Is there any more work to be done? Besides, lunch hour is not yet over," replied Eve. She glanced at her wristwatch. "There's about five minutes left.""Didn't you get my message?" Henry asked sounding impatient."What?" Eve spat and flipped her hair.Henry moved closer to her and whispered "I want you in my office right now and don't you dare argue with me."He turned to the men. "And what are you two still doing here? Is there no work to be done at your departments?"Kingsley and Frank exchanged glances and in a flash, they disappeared from the scene. Henry
