"I guess all this began from the moment I had Daniel cancel your interview and since we are yet to hire the tech assistant, you can take the job," he replied.Eve sniffled. "You are joking. Aren't you?""I'm serious, Eve. You can have the job but on one condition.""And what's that?""All the games and mischief will end." Eve coughed for a long while and Henry knew she did it to taunt him. "I'm no longer interested in the job," she said."Are you kidding me?" he fired back.A while ago when Henry told Dane he was going to handle the situation, his main plan was to offer Eve the employment she wanted. He feels that once she gets the job, the drama will end."Yes, Mr. Richard. You heard me right. I'm not interested in your job, you can keep it to yourself.""Oh come on Eve...""I said I don't want the damn job." She maintained."You know what? Why don't you come to my office tomorrow and get your appointment letter from Daniel. You don't need to undergo an interview." Henry said.Eve l
Eve had scheduled a virtual meeting with her club at exactly 8 pm. She connected with the women at exactly 8 pm via Zoom and after exchanging a few pleasantries, she went straight to the point."Henry called me yesterday afternoon." She revealed.Some of the women exclaimed while others had shocking expressions on their faces."Henry Richard called you?""How did he get your contact?""Did you guys later meet after the one-night stand?"These were the comments coming from the women on Eve's screen."I don't know how he got my official contact but believe me Henry Richard phoned me." began Eve. "And guess what? He offered me a job.""What?"Eve nodded repeatedly. "He wants me to work in his office. Remember I told you guys the other day how he ruined my interview right? Now he wants me to work for him.""Wow!""I guess we've been doing a good job lately then," said Xiana."We finally have his attention," replied Capri."And guess what?" continued Eve. She adjusted her laptop and cleare
Eve turned away and took deep breaths. "I understand you don't want me to create a scene right? Then why in the world would you ask your minions to kidnap me?""I'm sorry about that." Henry calmly replied.Eve laughed. "Sorry? You get me abducted and all you can say is sorry? Do you know I almost had a heart attack when your boys pushed me into that van?""All these wouldn't have happened if you had agreed to come by the office yesterday," Henry said.Eve spread her legs and folded her arms across her chest. "If it's about the job, I don't want it," she said looking directly into Henry's eyes.Henry smiled and sat up. "I must say I'm impressed.""What are you saying?""Yes, I had you taken so we could talk about the job but believe me your guts are rather impressive." Henry maintained."If you have nothing to say other than praising my guts, I'll take my leave now," Eve replied and began brushing the edge of her top."Wait please!" Henry begged. "I know we started on the wrong foot an
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
