Natalia was getting worried about Logan. He left without telling her where he was going. On normal basis, he would tell her when he was going out, even if he was going to the café a few blocks away.
When they left, Logan’s driver, Thuso, told his wife, Mosetsana, where they were going. Unfortunately, Natalia could not ask her because she had been rude to her all day. It was almost time to knock off but instead of packing up her things, Natalia went to Logan’s office and waited for him there.
A few minutes after settling down on Logan’s chair, Mosetsana came to the office and peeked her head in. “Thuso just called, he says they are on their way from the airport.” She said, and Natalia nodded. “I’ll see you tomorrow then.” She said with a small smile and stuck her head out, about to leave, but Natalia stopped her.
“Mosetsana?” Natalia said in a high-pitched voice, and Mosetsanagape reappeared again. “I’m sorry about earlier.” She said grimly,
The next morning, Logan Parker had a lot to look forward to; however, he was still a little dazed because of Natalia who had seemed a bit down last night. He had a lot to do for the day, and would not have time to chat to her, thus he arrived at 7a.m. so that he could catch her since she was one of the first few people to arrive. However, he was shocked when he arrived in his office to find the person he least expected. He stood frozen at his door as he watched her back. “Is everything okay here?” Logan asked, but he was greeted by silence. He walked to where she was and stood next to her. “It is beautiful, isn’t it?” He asked with his hands in his pockets as his eyes locked on the view outside the window. Parker’s Enterprises was one of the tallest buildings around the area, and one could see most of Cape Town from the top floor. “Not what I am used to.” She muttered quietly, secretly comparing the view to the view from her office back in L
“OMG! I just spoke to the hottest guy in the entire universe.” Meryl gushed.Anita rolled her eyes. “How do you know he is hot? You only heard his voice on the phone once.” She stated.“Exactly!” Meryl exclaimed excitedly, and a group of colleagues that were passing by threw her a weird look. “You should have heard his voice, Anita. It was so…how do I put it?” She asked dreamily and sighed.Anita shook her head and smiled. She was a bit shocked this morning when Meryl called her and asked her to pick her up for work, especially since Meryl was serious about quitting yesterday, even when Anita went to see her after work. She was confused by the sudden change of moods and mind. Anita was certain that she would have to buy Meryl a copy of Lemurian Crystals to help mend her heart.“So, who were we talking to?” Anita asked, and just then, Meryl’s phone rang and she
MJ had never responded well to alcohol. In fact, she rarely drank alcohol because she did not understand the purpose of drinking at all. Why would someone spend their precious time drowning themselves in alcohol? She did not know the answer to that until today, and her answer was Logan Parker.She did not drink a lot; she just had a few half-filled glasses of the whiskey she found in Sonya’s cupboard. It turned out that her brother was in love with a drunkard. She chuckled at the thought. While she was calling Sonya a drunkard, she was tipsy and was starting to imagine crazy things and do crazy things. One moment, she thought she was crying, but she would not cry now, would she? She never cried.Staring at the blue-covered room made her want to cry, if she had not done it already. MJ sat on top of the couch in Sonya’s apartment and did not fear that she would fall on her back if she was not careful enough.A lot of things ran throug
“Wow, we nailed it. Seriously though, Anita, you have to admit that we make a great team.” Jorge Billings beamed as they entered the building together, chatting and laughing.“We do, don’t we?” Anita admitted, a warm smile on her face. She and Jorge were working outside the office and they had a business proposal for one of the biggest businesses in London, and surprisingly, they worked well together.They were walking past the reception when Jorge spotted Meryl scowling at them from the corner of his eye. He knew he was to blame for her behaviour, but they could not continue working like this. If only he knew how she felt at the moment about being in the same building as him. Maybe it was a good thing that she happened to be here at this time of the night.“Hold on.” Jorge said to Anita who fiddled with the pearls around the collar. She nodded, and he walked towards the reception desk. Meryl was so eng
“Morning, May, you are very early today!” Natalia shouted as if MJ was deaf. MJ held her head and hurried to the private elevator. She was seriously not in the mood for anything today, not even Logan’s friendly secretary.“What is wrong with her? You know, for a lawyer, she’s rather here too much.” Demi gawked at her. Natalia just looked at her and shrugged.Minutes after May arrived, Logan walked into the building, looking rather too happy on a Saturday. For someone who was all about hard work and profit, Logan was quite looking forward to this half day. “Morning, Natalia.” Logan greeted cheerfully. “Morning, Demi.”“Morning, Mr Parker.” Natalia greeted with narrowed eyes.“Oh! Morning, Mr Parker.” Demi greeted with furrowed eyebrows and went back to whatever she was doing. Demi was one of the few people who did not care whether Logan was on cloud
Jorge and Anita arrived in Ireland very early in the morning in order to take a rest before attending the long awaited meeting.Aaron McEnroe was desperate to save his father’s company and had been begging to meet with them for weeks now, but the meeting was impossible with MJ’s sudden business trip and Jorge’s court cases and the taking over of Billings Corporation, so the meeting had to be rescheduled for today.Jorge had only had the pleasure of working with Aaron McEnroe Senior, and never worked with the son. He had only met him a few years back when he was still in high school, and Jorge had to help Mr McEnroe close a business deal. He was still just a little scrawny tall brat back then, with pimples, braces, and glasses. He was the type of boy all girls ran away from, but funny what time and money could do. Baby Aaron was officially a womaniser. If Jorge thought he mistreated women, then he had no idea what the meaning of mistreatmen
Logan had invested so much money into this plan of his. He had gotten her Apple electronics only; a laptop, phone, and tablet, and they were all registered under May Smith, and all three of them had her email address on them, but if Logan thought she was going to use his things; he had another thing coming. As if reading her mind, her new phone rang and Logan’s name flashed on the screen. If the phone was not so loud and she did not have a headache, she was probably not going to answer it. Unfortunately, the bloody thing was getting louder by the minute. MJ groaned and answered the call, “Yes?” “I’m still waiting for my coffee, Miss Smith. I like my coffee strong, with two sugars and a lot of milk.” Logan said and hung up on her. MJ groaned and slammed the phone on the desk, and prayed to all the gods she could think of, that the bloody thing was broken. She got up and left her office, and went to the private kitchen, which she had to search
“Now that everyone is here, we can start. Can we all please turn to page 3 of the file?” Aaron McEnroe Junior said as he opened the blue file in front of him. Everyone else had the same file, but none of them opened it. Aaron looked up and noticed that no one was doing anything; everyone was just sitting and looking at him. “Can we-” He started but was cut off by an arctic cold voice.“We are not here to discuss strategies on how we can make your company money; we are here to discuss how to get your company back on its feet again. I invested a lot of money into this project, and I lost ten times more, so spare me the bullshit.” All heads turned to look at Javier Mendoza in shock, but he just shot them a glare that sent most of them back home. Well, except for Jorge and Anita; Anita was looking at him with wide eyes, and Jorge merely returned the glare with much force.“I’m afraid, I have to agree with Javier o
