"Can you please tell me why you don't want to be Mr Richard's date for tonight's function?" implored Eve immediately they got out.The lady sighed and pulled out her phone. "Chlamydia is trending on Twitter at this moment.""Chlamydia? How is that infection related to what we are talking about?" Eve looked at her in amazement."It seems like you know nothing about this. " The lady sighed and continued. "The chlamydia tweet is associated with Mr. Richard. The women who tweeted it are implying that Mr Richard gave them the infection and now the tweet is going viral on Twitter." she disclosed.Eve was taken aback. "What did those women do?" she muttered. Her mind immediately wandered to the hate club."Didn't you hear about it? The news has gone round the office and we even thought Mr. Richard is aware .""I didn't know about it and I don't think Mr. Richard knows about it too. I haven't gone through my phone since morning.""Well, it's viral now and whether it's a rumour or not, I would
“Those of us who retweeted the statement didn't come in contact with Henry at the restaurant the other day. Yes, he might identify us later on but how would he know we are linked with you?" The lady responded.Eve sighed and typed. "I must commend you guys for a job well done. I mean, the plan was well thought and perfectly executed."Some of the women online began to reply and send voice notes.'Don't worry Eve. We got you covered.''Henry won't know you are part of this.''Just stay calm and keep doing your job. We will ensure that bastard trends throughout today for no good reason."Eve sighed and turned off her mobile data. It was time to face Henry. She went to the bathroom, took deep breaths, washed her face and marched to Henry's office confidently.She walked into the office and met Henry relaxing on his chair like a god. His legs were crossed and his back was resting on the seat."You took so long Eve. Was picking a date for me such a hard task to do?" Henry asked."Well, it
Henry grabbed his phone and went through the tweets once again. He was boiling with rage at the way some Twitter users were tagging and dragging him."Bloody women. I swear I'll get back to you all," he swore. He dropped the phone on his table, tightened his feast and punched the wall repeatedly.He took deep breaths and went for his phone. He then dialled Dane's number. He called Dane twice but Dane didn't pick up the call. He was starting to grow impatient and Dane called back."Hello Boss, I was speaking to...""I need you in my office right now," Henry ordered and hung up without giving Dane the chance to speak.A few minutes later, Dane rushed into Henry's office. "What's the matter, boss? You scared me." Dane said and looked around the office."Why weren't you picking up my calls?" Henry asked."Sorry, I missed your calls. I was tackling an issue with the guards at the gate.""Have you seen the news on Twitter?" Henry demanded.Dane sat on the sofa. "Twitter? What twitter?" he
"Derrick!" Dane began with both hands on the table. "I trust you and I want you to get to the bottom of this. All these tweets are lies. The people behind it are after Mr Richard's reputation and yes we will get the Public Relations manager to do his part but I want you to dig up the handles that initiated those tweets and possibly trace them."Derrick nodded in understanding. "I know what to do boss.""Get to work and be fast about it. We need results." Henry directed."I'll do my best and get back to you as soon as possible," Derrick said and left the men.Dane turned to Henry. "Don't you worry about it boss, Derrick will fish out the culprits and the Public Relations Manager knows what to do. I'll see to it and trust me, soonest, the rumours will go away."Henry sighed in relief. "Are you sure about this Dane?Dane smiled at him. " I understand how you feel boss. Your reputation is at stake but trusts me, not everyone is going to believe those tweets. Judging by your position and i
When Eve returned to her office, she heaved a deep sigh and thanked God she was able to stand her ground before Henry. She quickly called Olivia."Henry confronted me" she whispered, trying to catch her breath immediately Olivia picked up the call."I knew he was going to suspect you. What did you tell him?" asked an impatient Olivia."Trust me, girl, I acted like I knew nothing about it. He tried to pin it on my girls but I disagreed. I told him that the group died the day I signed that contract." reported Eve."That's a good move girl. ""I stood my ground and even acted pissed when he started screaming at me," Eve said.Olivia was already screaming in excitement. "That's good of you Eve. I love how you handled the situation. You are so smart.""He was looking straight into my eyes and I held up his stare and argued my way out of the situation." Eve boasted."Are you for real girl?""Oh trust me, Olivia. I was such a drama queen earlier. I even walked out on him.""You walked out on
"As your boss, I am allowed to assign roles to you whether they were spelt out in the contract or not. So tonight, as your boss, I want you to be my date. Take it as an official responsibility from your boss." concluded Henry."Unbelievable!" Eve said and sprung to her feet. "So now you are going to manipulate me?"Henry finally sat. "It's just business Eve and you must comply." he smiled and blinked at her. "I must comply? You must be kidding." She disagreed and smirked.Henry smiled, taunting her the more. "I'm not joking Miss Bloom. You are coming to the charity event with me tonight. You have no choice."."And what if I refused to be your date tonight? Will you force me?" demanded an angry Eve."You work for me. I give you orders and all you have to do is obey," replied Henry."And what about those women who declined your offer? Why won't you force them? Why are you forcing me instead?" Eve ranted."Those women aren't my personal assistants and above all, they signed no contract
Charity pulled out two dresses from her fashion bag. She stationed it on the table. Eve flashed her astonishing eyes on them."Red or black?""What?" Eve asked with an arched brow."Which do you prefer? A red dress or a blue one?" Charity asked and swept the glossy gowns off the table.Eve sighed. "Anyone will do." She wasn't interested in going to the event anyway so Charity should better hurry up with the so-called transformation.Charity moved to Eve's right. "A lot of ladies will kill to be Henry's date and you are here acting all frigid?"Even turned away and mumbled. "A lot of them would have gone if there was no chlamydia tweet.""Did you say something?"Eve faced Charity with a fake smile stretching the corners of her mouth. "Nothing. Just get me the red dress."Charity motioned with her head to her girls to come close. The tallest placed the make-up kit on Eve's desk after shoving the files aside."Before we begin your make-up? I'll need you to try the dress on." Charity said
At that point, Henry wanted to grab her face and kiss the hell out of her or maybe slip his hand through the opening on her dress. He heaved a deep sigh and turned away.The driver pulled the car to a halt by the entrance of the museum. He rushed out to get the car door but met Henry standing outside. He was holding up the car door for Eve to step out. She carefully alighted and took his hand. They stepped into the museum hand in hand.Immediately they walked in, Eve was charmed by the artefacts on display. She rolled her eyes around the paintings before taking proper glances at the people. Most people stood in twos, the ladies elegantly dressed and the men looked smart. Bartenders and waitresses loitered with small trays carrying glasses of wine.Henry led Eve to meet a group of people. They were business moguls. She greeted them with a smile. They then grabbed a glass of wine each and moved to the table reserved for Henry. They sat next to each other. The host, a young man in his
