"Welcome miss Bloom. I must say you are Blooming this morning," commented Henry.Eve held on to her handbag and fixed her gaze on his table."Have a seat. I've been expecting you." Henry offered and pointed to the chair facing him.Eve pulled the chair and sat. She placed her handbag on the table. "Thank you.""So what can I offer you?""Can we just skip that and head to business straight?" replied Eve.Henry smiled. "Of course."The door to Henry's office was pushed open and Dane walked in. Dane sat on the sofa and when their eyes met with Eve's, she looked away.Henry brought out a file from his suitcase and placed it on the table. He dropped a pen on top of the file."In this file, is the contract you'll be signing miss Bloom," he said pointing to the file "Let's get on with it then," Eve replied. Henry and Dane exchanged glances."The earlier, the better," Henry said. Dane agreed with a nod.Henry moved the file toward Eve and handed her the pen. She grabbed the file, opened it a

Eve fell to the floor on her knees and felt a sharp pain in her chest. She tried to get up but fell flat on the floor with her back and she went blank. Dane and Henry exchanged glances and quickly ran to her. Both men were beside her on bended knees."What just happened?" asked a confused Henry. Sweats were beginning to line up on his forehead. "Why did she collapse?""I don't know what happened to her....I was just reading the contract to her and then she went to her knees..... I think she just passed out." Stammered Dane."Passed out? What do you mean by passed out Dane? Wasn't she fine a while ago?" Henry demanded in a tone that proved he was getting terrified.He bent over and placed his left ear on Eve's chest to hear the sound of her heartbeat. "I can feel her heart beating," he announced. "She's alive.""What do we do now? Do you think she just had a heart attack?""Oh shut up Dane!" thundered Henry. "We need to revive her."Henry took off his tie and threw it away. He began to

"I'll rather remain jobless than work for you. You know what? I won't do this anymore." Eve said, pulling out a handkerchief from her handbag. She wiped her face.Henry broke into a laugh. "You want to back out? You can't.""I will never be your assistant. You can keep your damn job and your filthy thirty thousand dollars." Eve maintained.Henry clapped for a few seconds and said "You don't get it. Don't you? You can't back out miss Bloom. It's too late to cry when the head is already cut off.""What are you saying?""I'm saying you can't back out now.""I took up the job and I've made the decision that I don't want it anymore," Eve stated. "You can't tell me what to do.""You have no choice," Henry replied calmly with a smile. He looked up to Dane. "Dane, you might want to explain the contract rights to her?""So she can pass out again? You guys should assume I'm invincible here." Dane replied after sitting. He crossed his legs."What do you mean by I have no choice?" Eve challenged.

"Damn it," Henry screamed and left his sitting position. He rushed to the shattered Eve and bent over."What are you doing?" Dane questioned him in a low tone. "Let her be!" he urged and signalled to Henry to get up from the floor.Henry ignored Dane's request and tried to console Eve. "Are you okay?" He then pulled out a handkerchief from his breast pocket and presented it to Eve.Eve was still crying uncontrollably. She was kneeling on the floor, her head lowered, trying to catch her breath. Dane was watching Henry in astonishment. He couldn't believe that his boss was kneeling beside the weeping Eve."Listen to me, Eve. You don't have to cry..." Henry was still speaking when Eve turned around and pushed him aggressively. He landed on the floor on his butt."Don't you dare touch me you son of a bitch!" Eve warned with teary eyes while pointing a finger at him.She busted into tears, grabbed her bag and sped out of Henry's office, crying loudly."Damn it!" Henry groaned and slappe

Immediately Olivia saw a cab pull in front of her apartment, she ran toward it. Eve alighted from the cab and Olivia pulled her into a hug."Come in" Olivia encouraged, leading Eve into her home."Have you been crying?" Olivia pointed out with her eyes fixed on Eve's face after they got in.Eve tried to hold back her tears but she couldn't. She broke down in front of Olivia. Olivia immersed Eve into a tight hug and hushed her while stroking her back tenderly."Tell me, Eve. What did he do to you?" Eve broke off the embrace. "He tricked me.""Tricked you?" You are killing me with suspense Eve. Tell me every damn thing." Olivia beckoned.Eve stopped crying and began to speak. "So he invited me to his office to sign the contract just like I told you on the phone earlier.""So did you sign it?"Even nodded in agreement. "Then how the hell did he trick you?" Olivia fired."So the contract papers I signed were manipulated. Henry told me that I was to serve as the General Manager's tech as

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

"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
