Phil stood before her with his palms wide open. "Do you need anything?"She said nothing but kept marveling at the level of his concern."I don't need anything," she replied and pulled her bag to herself."Okay!" Phil replied and moved to the table.Henry stood before her with a quirked brow. "Are you sure you don't need anything? Maybe some painkillers?""I'm good." she maintained."Are you sure?""My muscles are just cramped and soon, I'll regain my balance and besides, I'm feeling good already," Eve replied."Okay," Henry said and began rolling down his sleeve."Thank you," Eve said.Henry lifted his head and saw her smiling at him. "Thank you sir and thank you and Phil," Phil flashed a grin. "You're welcome." He wanted to taunt her for violating the boss's decision but he remained shut.Henry took the words out of Phil's mouth. "This was the reason why I insisted you remained in the office while Phil handles the report. It was a long meeting and I doubted whether you could cope.

"So maybe you'll come in the morning and work from 8 am to 12 pm then before the lunch break, Phil will also work for four hours. That's from 12 pm to 4 pm but you guys can switch. It's fine with me as long as the job is done." Henry explained.Both his hands were on the table and he was addressing Eve and Phil who stood before him. Eve had just learnt about the development while Phil was already been informed by Henry."And how long will this change last?" Eve demanded. Just because her legs got cramped, it doesn't mean that she couldn't handle the job.Henry cleared his throat loudly. He expected her not to argue because she had promised to do what was best for her the previous day."Till you are better and by the time you recover and can cover up the whole eight hours, you guys can maybe set a schedule with a day's internal.""I'm cool with whatever strategy is employed," Phil replied with his hands wide open before Henry. He wouldn't mind as long as he will get to keep his job."

Eve loitered around the hallway for several minutes before finally getting into her office. She had just returned from the cafeteria.It's been three hours since Henry's wife arrived at the company and she didn't see her leave the office.She fixed her gaze down the hallway, hoping to see the woman walk out of Henry's office but no one was forthcoming. With a frustrated sigh, she gave the door a push and walked in.She was certain that Henry didn't step out of his office from the moment she crossed paths with his wife. What were they up to? Having lunch or a quickie?She's his wife for heaven's sake Eve's mind reminded her. Why was she bothered by the fact that the couple was taking forever to come out and to crown to her agitation, Henry didn't send for either Phil or her.It meant he was busy with his wife.He must be so over the moon being with his wife that he didn't discharge any responsibilities to them throughout the day.Eve began collecting the items which she had littered on

Eve knew what Henry was about to do. He wanted to send Mira away as quickly as possible. She flashed an impish grin, turned to Mira and said. "You wanted us to hang out?"Mira was about to speak when again, Henry interrupted. "You don't want to be stuck in traffic Mira. It's Monday and you know how busy the street can get. So start leaving." he said in an authoritative tone.Mira agreed with a smile and Eve knew she'll have to wait for another chance to meet with the woman because it was evident that her husband was bent on sending her away."I'll walk you to the door," Henry told Mira with a bright smile.Eve turned away and cursed him in her mind. Son of a bitch."Bye Eve!" Mira waved at her, maintaining her illuminating smile.Eve forced a grin and waved back at her. "Bye Mira," she mumbled.Mira turned around and was led out of the office by Henry.Eve collapsed on the chair with her nostrils puffing hot air as Henry led the woman out of the office.The moment he walked back into

Eve went on nodding like a lizard. "I see"He tucked both his hands inside his pockets, looked Eve straight in the face and decided to go with the flow. "You see, Mira and I understand each other perfectly so there's nothing to worry about," he assured Eve.Eve gave her forehead a delicate scrape and felt that it was stupid of her to advise Henry on how to go about dealing with his wife.Henry read her gesture and decided to carry on. "People who don't understand the relationship I share with my wife think I'm the kind of husband that relegates his wife to the background and tries to suppress her but since we both understand each other, Mira complains about nothing." he lied.Eve lifted her head with a forced grin. She was convinced that she really stepped outside her line. "And you should see Mira dishing out instructions to me." he continued with his voice speaking of exuberance.Eve turned away with a sigh. Now he was going to tell her about his wife? Why did she even caution him

Dane's green eyes kept wandering around Henry's face. The man seemed to be coming up with new strategies up his sleeve and when Eve got into his life, Dane thought it was the end of his boss's playboy book but it seemed that a new chapter had been unlocked."The Mira that I know won't agree to such a game." Dane maintained. He stood up and moved to the refrigerator by the corner of the room.Henry reclined on the chair and threw his head back. Even though he was certain that his baby sister would do anything for him, he also knew that she'll want to be exempted from anything negative.Dane returned with a bottle of water. He opened the cap and emptied the whole content in his mouth and when the bottle landed on Henry's table, it was empty.Dane opened his palms wide before Henry. "What? Don't give me that look. I'm fucking dehydrated."Henry waved his hand down. "That's not the bone of contention. Right now, We need Mira on board."Dane pointed a finger at him. "You need Mira on board

Henry took his head into his hands. Mira wasn't going to bend unless he does something to convince her since she won't hearken to his pleas."We are not different here. Sometimes we have to tell white lies. I can help you too Mira." he spat.Dane arched his brow. What was Henry going to help Mira with? he thought.Mira came to the company because she needed Henry to do her a favour. After their conversation that morning, he had promised that he would look into the matter."Are you trying to blackmail me?"Henry rolled up his sleeve and flashed a quick smile at Dane who was looking at him with a blank expression."It's not blackmail Mira. We both need to stroke each other's back to get our needs so what do you say?" asked Henry.There was silence from Mira's end and Henry knew she was pondering on the offer. He decided to carry on."I'll grant your request Mira and You know you can count on me. I give you my word, your problem will be solved. All you have to do is solve mine.." Henry m

"Is that all?" Mira demanded "That will be all once you fulfil your side of the bargain," Henry replied. After leaving home that morning, Henry drove straight to the hotel Mira was lodging at. Since she had registered her commitment to the quest, he felt it was necessary to brief her so they are on the same page. Mira sighed and stood up from the edge of the bed. "This is going to be tough for me Henry but I have no choice." Henry waved his hand and began taking steps towards the door. "There's nothing difficult here Mira. All you have to do is get cosy with me and convince Eve that we are married." Mira hummed. Maybe she could spice up the game. "I got it and I hope you are working on my case," she replied. Henry gave an approving nod. "I'll see them the moment I close from work today." He was referring to their parents. "Good!" Henry left the hotel room. ****** Eve lowered her phone to her chest and cast her gaze at the buzzing telephone. She could count the number of tim

"I never thought you would show up!" Dane remarked the moment Olivia slapped her purse on the round table. "We are talking about preparations for my best friend's wedding here. I wouldn't mind seeing your annoying face." She replied and sat opposite him. Dane chuckled and crossed his legs. Henry and Eve broke the news of their engagement to them a week ago. Dane was to serve as Henry's best man while Olivia, was the chief bridesmaid. It's two weeks to the wedding and preparations were already heating up. Dane had invited Olivia that evening to the cafe so they could review their plans for the wedding. "Do you want anything?" He asked and pointed to the menu card. Olivia waved her hand down. "I'm good." Dane reclined on the chair. "You'll rather starve than have a drink with me don't you?" She broke into a laugh and grabbed the menu card. "You know what Dane? You have a way of cracking me up even when I'm being a tough girl." He sat up and blinked at her. "Maybe I was created

"So what's your plan? Staying all day in bed without a job till you have the baby?' Mrs Bloom raised her voice at Eve.Eve was sprawled on the bed, facing her phone. She was having a video call with her mother."Eve, if you don't want to get a job then at least you can tell Henry about the baby. He should have thought about his marriage before putting the baby there.""Come on mom!'"I'm serious, Eve. Child support is necessary. Meanwhile, I'm not happy with the fact that you planned to raise this baby alone. I didn't raise you alone so my grandbaby deserves a father." Mrs Bloom went on ranting.Eve sighed and stroked her forehead. "I have enough funds in my savings account that can cater for the baby so you don't have to worry about that and about speaking to Henry, I'll do that when the time is right.""You better do so.""Have you told dad about it?"Mrs Bloom arched a brow. "Didn't you say you'll do that yourself?"Eve gave repeated nods. "I'll come home mom and I'll tell him ever

Dane pulled his sports car to a halt at the entrance to the parking lot and quickly stepped out."This better be good." He muttered under his breath and charged toward Olivia who was standing under a lemon tree, a few meters away from the park entrance.It was a few minutes past 6 pm and about fifteen minutes earlier, Olivia had called Dane and asked her to meet with him, stating that they needed to speak urgently.He got to the spot she was standing and instantly flashed a smile at her. Why the hell was he grinning like a clown Olivia wondered and quickly turned away after a smirk.Dane cleared his throat loudly and gave his forehead a delicate scrape. He was not the kind of man who was used to putting his perfect set of dentition on display and he couldn't tell why he got excited and had to smile at the sight of Olivia.Olivia adjusted the leather bag hanging around her left arm and began taking steps toward Dane. He remained rooted to his spot and felt like the ground was going to

Eve took sluggish steps toward the door. She had been avoiding them for quite a long time and she knew that the sooner she faced them, the better for her sanity.She stood by the door for several seconds and tried to keep her breath in check. She didn't see who was banging on her door but she could bet that it was either Olivia or Jen.After exhaling twice, she opened the door and saw the ladies standing outside. She flashed a quick smile at them and before she could usher them into the house, they flew in.She slammed the door behind her and turned to face their inquisitive faces. They were both folding their arms across their chests and staring at her like an owl."And why the hell was your phone off for two days?" Olivia flung the question at her.Eve sighed and moved to the twin couch."Some ladies from your hate club had been blowing up my phone. I don't even know why I gave them my phone number in the first place." Jen lamented.She moved to the couch and settled next to Eve by

Eve was glad that she had spoken to her mother. She was feeling a bit relieved and was glad that her mother didn't judge or condemn her. Mrs Bloom was sensitive enough to realize that at that moment, Eve needed all the support and comfort she could get.*****"I'm so happy to see you!" Phil declared and almost pulled her to the floor because he had immersed her in a tight hug. Eve smiled and hugged him. If she had her way, she would have pulled him away because she woke up that morning feeling edgy. She attributed the sudden feeling to pregnancy hormones."I never thought you would show up today," Phil commented after they broke off the embrace. "You need rest Eve. You can count on me to handle things while you are recuperating. Remember, health is wealth." Eve gave a warm smile and folded her arms across her chest. Who would have thought that she could get along with Phil? Two weeks ago, they could barely stand each other."Thank you so much, Phil." She replied. She was going to mi

Eve shut her eyes and opened them immediately. Just when she thought that she was hallucinating, she realized that the doctor was still standing by her bed.He kept the file he was holding next to her on the bed and left after flashing a bright smile.Even grabbed the file with trembling hands and her gaze instantly fell on the result after she opened it. She shut the file after a gasp and quickly turned away.She was fucking pregnant!"Damn it!" She muttered under her breath and squeezed the bedsheet. Her head began to spin in circles. She was carrying Henry's baby. According to the report, the doctor handed it over to her, she was three weeks gone.Whether she was three weeks gone, a month or two months gone, it was certain as death that the baby she is carrying is Henry's.He was the only man she had been with and on countless occasions, they had been together without using protection even though there were times she took pills, there were a few times she skipped the pills.She th

The continuous ringing of Eve's phone caused her to open her heavy eyes.She picked up the call."Hey!""Hey, baby. How is my gorgeous damsel doing this morning?" came Darcy's voice.The statement didn't provoke a smile on her face and neither did her cheeks turn red. She was even shocked at her reaction."I'm doing great Darcy." She replied and rubbed her drowsy eyes with the edge of her left palm.Did she just say, Darcy? She cleared her throat loudly. "How are you doing babe?"The phone speaker filtered Darcy's chuckle. "I'm good. You are having a work-free day?"Eve arched a brow. "A work-free day? It's not weekend.""And you are still not at work?"Eve glanced at the wall clock hanging above her. Her eyes widened in horror."Jeez!" She screamed. It was a few minutes to 9 am and she should have been at the office by now."I need to go now." She said and quickly hung up before Darcy could give a reply.She went through her phone and realised that the alarm she had set to awaken he

"Come in!" Henry responded from the inside and shut the file before him.Immediately after he lifted his head and realised that it was Eve who just walked into his office clinging to some documents, he lowered his head and opened the file he had shut earlier.She walked up to his desk. "Phil said you needed the transaction details of the cost of production for the week." She said without staring at him directly.He continued fiddling with the pages of the document before him. "And why didn't Phil obtain the document from the accounts department? Wasn't he the one I assigned the task to?" he asked without lifting his head.From that statement, Eve could tell that Henry wasn't expecting her and on the other hand, she didn't want to be in his office but she had to bring the report because Phil had a couple of other things to do."He's busy. You asked him to plan the annual meeting with the branch managers and also draft invitation letters." She reminded Henry.Lately, he had stopped assi

Eve cast her gaze to the entrance. She saw a man by the door lifting a phone to his face. Could he be her mystery man? She wondered and lowered the phone to her chest.Meanwhile, the man also lowered the phone to his chest and kept roving his eyes around the area."Pick the damn call!" Eve muttered under her breath and began taking strides toward the glass door.The man finally picked up the call and when he turned around, she froze.He placed his perfect set of dentition on display by flashing a bright smile. "You must be Eve?"She nodded repeatedly.He began taking steps toward her, maintaining the illuminating smile. He was devilishly handsome and was dressed in a gas-blue suit. Eve looked into his forest green eyes and darted her gaze to his expensive shoes. Olivia was right. The man was damn classy.When he got to Eve, he extended his right hand and ran his left hand through his blonde hair. "I'm Darcy."She remained rooted to her spot. She wondered whether she should smile, spea
