Eve hurried out of Henry's office. Stacy watched as she walked out of the office and heaved a deep sigh after shutting the door. She headed out and stopped a cab outside the building.While seated in the car, she texted both Olivia and Jen. Her heart was racing and a thousand and one thoughts were running through her mind.When Eve stepped out of the cab after reaching home, she was pleased to meet Olivia and Jen waiting outside her apartment. She quickly brought out her keys after they shared a group hug."Are you okay?" Jen demanded while Eve was unlocking the door.The three women walked into Eve's apartment. Eve fell on the couch after flinging her back to a corner."So we both got your SOS message." Olivia began. Whenever any of them had a problem, the SOS message is sent and the ladies leave whatever they are doing if circumstance permits and show up at the residence of the sender. While Eve was coming home from Henry's office, she texted the acronym SOS to both Olivia and Jen.
Eve nodded and offered to walk them to the door. Before they stepped out of the apartment. Jen whispered into Eve's right ear."Remember that you are unemployed and thirty thousand dollars won't walk into your room.""Thank you so much for coming." Eve appreciated her friends and the three friends shared a group hug."I'm sorry we are leaving soon," Olivia said."Oh don't you guys worry. Thanks for coming. I appreciate it.""We will drop by tonight," Jen promised."You guys should hurry and get to work before you all get fired," Eve said. They laughed and hurried out.Eve returned to her living room and sat on the carpet. She was thinking about all that Olivia said regarding her family needs and her rent when her phone suddenly rang.She cleared her throat, took a deep breath and responded to the call."Hi mom!" she said."Hello Eve!" came Eleanor's voice."Eleanor? What happened to mom? Where is she?" Eve asked. She began to panic."Mom is fine Eve. Dad took her out for a walk."Eve
It was past 4 pm. Henry Richard was signing a document when his phone vibrated. He ignored the notification and signed the four other documents on his table. When he grabbed his phone and swiped the screen, his jaw dropped after seeing the message."That was quite soon," he mumbled as feelings of joy began to course through his veins. He was surprised too.When he told Eve to take her time to ponder about the job offer earlier, he wasn't expecting a quick response from her and right now, he was shocked that it took her less than twenty-four hours to respond. The response was quick and positive.Henry immediately messaged Dane to join him in his office and in a flash, Dane was standing before him."You texted me to come right away, boss!" Dane said panting heavily. "She took the offer." He told Dane who just walked into the office."Eve Bloom took the job?" Dane asked and grabbed a seat."I told you, Dane. Thirty thousand dollars is not something you can come by every day." Henry boas
"Have a seat!" directed Henry pointing to the chair opposite him. Anthony sat next to Dane and adjusted his collar. Anthony had been working for Henry as his personal assistant for the past five years. He made Henry's job easier and showed up when Henry couldn't. Anthony is a professional. He has a degree in business management from Harvard and a master's degree in business administration."You sent for me sir." Anthony reminded Henry Henry smiled and pulled out an envelope from his cupboard. Dane was watching keenly his heart beating quickly. What if Henry fires Anthony? Dane thought."Thank you so much for all you've done." Henry spat. Anthony displayed a shocking expression and Dane was feeling hopeless."You've been very helpful Anthony." Henry continued. Dane swallowed some air while the confused Anthony adjusted his tie."You have been good to me and believe me Anthony I see all you do not just for this company but me," concluded Henry.He handed to Anthony a sealed white en
Before Henry left the office for his home, he got another text message from Eve stating that she was coming to his office the next day in line with the new job. Henry smiled and texted her back. He told her she could come by anytime she wished during the office hours which are from 10 am to 2 pm. He informed her that the contract papers were ready.Tuesday morning, Eve woke up with mixed feelings. She was glad she had finally gotten a new job but her feelings of excitement were weighed down by feelings of anxiety. However, she had promised herself that she will be bringing her game to the top because she was going to be a spy during her stay to look out for Henry's wife.After taking a warm shower, Eve slipped into a blue cotton jumpsuit which hugged her tightly. She applied a little make-up and chose a pair of black heels. She decorated her hair and grabbed her favourite handbag before dashing out. Anyone who saw her walking down the street that morning couldn't deny how gorgeous she
"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.
