After a warm bath, Eve sat before her large dressing mirror, her legs crossed while her hands worked on her hair. She had loosened her hair from the clutches of her ribbon that morning and had oiled it for it was glittering. She worked on her hair edges and dressed her hair down to her neck. Satisfied by what she had done, she began working on her face. Eve pouted her lips and smiled. The little make-up she had applied had transformed her face.She stood before her wardrobe for about two minutes with her eyes rolling up and down the furniture. She took out some clothes and dumped them on her bed. She found it strange that her outfits had suddenly become unattractive or maybe because she wanted to make heads turn that morning, especially Henry's head.It then dawned on Eve that she was having an interview not a date hence the need for her to be mindful of her appearance. Since fate had earned her an interview in Henry's company, she wasn't going to joke with it. She pulled out a red v
"Are they here?" Henry asked Stacy who just walked into his office. She was wiping the frame of her spectacles with a white handkerchief."Yes sir. Are you guys having the meeting here or should I direct them to the conference room?" replied Stacy."Show them in. We can have the meeting here in my office. It's going to be brief anyway.``He adjusted his necktie and pulled out a file from the cupboard attached to his table.Henry was expecting two of his high-ranking staff and a client for a meeting that morning. He stood up, picked up the closed files on his sofa and returned to his seat.Three men walked into Henry's office. They were smartly dressed and were carrying files in their hands. "Have a seat." Henry offered, pointing to the vacant sofa.Two of his staff sat on the sofa while the client sat on the stool opposite him. "Shall we begin?" demanded Henry after the men were settled."Yes sir." they chorused."I'll begin with our business client here. You have a proposal for me r
"Listen to me" Eve spat and pointed two fingers at him, shocking his two staff who were still in the room.In his mind, Henry kept praying that Eve doesn't speak about the one-night stand. He had hoped she wouldn't talk about it and maybe with the way things were going, he might have to swallow his pride and apologise to her to save his face."Such audacity." Henry heard one of his staff whisper to the other. He knew they were shocked at Eve's boldness."I wanted to be the bigger person. I wanted to shut the fuck up but you decided to act like a piece of shit by ruining my interview." continued Eve. It then dawned on Henry that cancelling Eve's interview was a bad idea. He signalled to the staff in his office to excuse them.The two men stood up and headed out. Henry knew the news of the drama ongoing in his office will soon spread around the various corners of the building like a wildfire.He crashed on his chair. "What do you want, Eve? You wanted to create a scene. Well, congratula
Jen was sitting by the edge of Olivia’s bed, watching her tie her long brown hair into a knot. ”I just can’t believe that all these happened to Eve in a week, damn I feel sorry for her.”Jen and Eve had been close friends for over two years now. Eve met Jen through Olivia and had since then considered Jen her friend. Jen works at the state museum and is always on tours collecting artefacts. She was in the Philippines a week ago and had just learnt about Eve’s ordeal through Olivia.Olivia pulled out plain trousers from her wardrobe. “Devin is a jerk.” She cursed and went for a red top.Jen sighed. “Sometimes I wonder what men want. I mean, who would cheat on a lady like Eve? Someone that beautiful, sexy and ambitious. Devin is a dick.” She said."The asshole cheated on his fiancee instead. They've been together for six years, I heard.""That's pathetic."“I’m certain that Eve will get this job.” Olivia confidently stated and grabbed her purse. Jen stood up and left the bedroom.“Ev
Eve stretched both her legs on the bed and rested her back on the wall. She looked up to the ceiling and wondered how she would have coped with the entire emotional trauma if her parents were in the city with her. Maybe she would have healed quickly, she thought, because she wasn’t going to let her parents find out about her state. She thought about her father and what kind of groceries he was purchasing at that moment. Ever since her mother fell ill, her father had been doing the best he could when her little sister was working. Eleanor, her seventeen-year-old sister works as a waitress in one of the restaurants across their street in Texas. She had just finished high school. Eve's elder brother Berry is a nuisance and she barely talks about him.Eve sighed and felt grateful that the conversation with her mother was a brief one. She was glad the woman didn’t ask about her relationship or more details about work. Being the breadwinner, she couldn’t bring herself to tell her mother t
"In just two hours, about fifteen women have joined Henry's virtual hate club?" Olivia gasped."Amazing right? I can't believe it. " Eve marvelled. She sighed and placed the laptop on her left."Henry or whatever he calls himself sure knows how to use his dick. Damn! Fifteen already?" commented Jen.Olivia sighed. "Not just fifteen. There might be other women out there who are scared to make a move.""With fifteen, I can take him down." Eve declared with her eyes fixed on the laptop.An hour later, Even saw Olivia and Jen off. She returned to her apartment feeling excited that Plan C worked. She sat by the edge of the bed, crossed her legs and mumbled."Time to meet the women."Even grabbed her laptop, placed it on her thighs and swung into action. She thanked the women for declaring their interest and didn't waste time informing them about the aim of the group.Eve told the women that she aimed to exert revenge on Henry stating that she was a victim like them. To hasten the process s
Anna crossed her legs and looked up. "You should have seen the way I was carrying my head around the office because I was banging the boss. He even promised to see my parents." She hit the table, causing the glasses of wine to shake. "It all brings us to one thing," Eve said."What?""His wife. It's obvious Henry loves his wife and is hiding his schemes from her.""She's the highlight of every story here." Sherry agreed with a nod."Then we bring the stories to the limelight and spray the garment of her husband's shame before her," Xiana said"Exactly!" Eve screamed.They all chorused excitedly. "Yeah!""What's the next step?" Jasmine asked and went for her wine glass for the first time."We need to find his wife," Eve suggested."It's obvious he is keeping her a secret.""That's true because when I ask him to show me his wife after he broke off our affair, he didn't and when I persisted, he threatened to fire me and release our sex tape afterwards. I didn't even know he made a tape
Eve, Xiana, Seoul and Capri were the women who showed up at the five-star hotel Henry Richard was meeting his top business client that evening. After Eve gave the signal with the word 'show time', the women rose to their feet and swung into action.While occupying the table reserved for him, Henry was opening the briefcase Dane had stationed before him with his head lowered. At the sight of the women, Dane began to hit Henry's left thigh repeatedly.Henry was pissed by Dane's act. "What in the hell are you doing Dane?" he barked and lifted his head. He was shocked at the spectacle above him.The two business clients he was meeting with that night were seated, wondering why four women had suddenly surrounded their table. They were also wondering why Henry was looking at the women like a lost puppy.To salvage the situation, Dane stood up and tried to pull Seoul away from the table. She was standing beside him. The women had formed a circle. Eve was beside Henry, Capri and Xiana beside
