It didn’t get better the next day it worsened to some extent making Alva groan on the chair she sat on. She sighed.“What is it now?”She faced Jessie who sat beside her, “uhn?”“Why are you sighing so much and you’ve held your stomach since you got here, is something wrong?”“No, not really, I’m just tired and have been having cramps since yesterday, I think I need a little rest,”“Are you sure?”“Yes,”“Then wait for me to clear up this arrangement I’m doing, we would go home together and have a rest then okay?”“Sure, take your time,”She nodded and left for her assistant who stood in the corner taking notes.“Have you taken the measurements of the corners?” Jessie asked and the assistant nodded showing her the notes.Alva on the other hand laid her head on the table to take a little nap and took in the decorations of the area where Jessie was holding her next event planning. It was a wedding reception and she had to say the decorations were going fine.She brought out her phone to
He approached the bed after she had left and watched Alva sleep in a fitful position. He wondered what could have made her sick, possibly not his action right?He shook his head, that was not it.He looked at the towel that was spread over her head and loosened his tie, he had his work cut out for him alright.But he didn’t know how serious it was until he took the towel from her head, it was steaming hot, “What the…”He dipped his finger into the water and found it to be hot too, “wow,” He quickly poured the water and got another one from the bathroom adding blocks that he found beside the bed.He wondered if she was always this sick or just this hot when running a temperature. He dipped the towel and squeezed it placing it on her head.She moaned at the coldness and tossed on the bed. She looked so fitful sleeping on the bed but after a few changes of the towel, she turned peaceful and he went downstairs to get something to eat.He was starving and needed something to replenish afte
Silas thumbed through the detailed document the marketing and strategies manager had placed before him that afternoon and looked up, “So this is the layout of the plan, right?”“Yes sir,”“Could you summarize it a bit?”“Yes sir, so this first part is basically talking about using the media and other social influences to get the message that we are back on our feet out into the public, we plan to use television stations and billboards and that’s pretty much it. The next part is talking about rewarding our outstanding clients and giving out discounts to them on the purchase of Mbps. Also, the number of bandwidths sold to tier 2s would be increased to increase sales in the long run,”“Hmm, how much do you think would take care of that?”“To give a detailed demonstration on the plan, we would need about 1 million dollars for starters and maybe more in the long run,”“Okay, I’ll present your ideas to Mr. Jaxon when he comes and you can get started then, you know we need his final approval
The nightclub was just as luxurious as the name when Josephine first heard of it that morning and she walked into the nightclub taking in its surroundings. She took in the bartender that was mixing drunks for the people at the counter, the customers that danced crazily, and the waiter that approached her right now, at least that’s what she thought.“Good evening miss, how may I help you?”“I booked a reservation here for one this morning by the name Josephine Smith, VIP,”“Oh let me check through the list here ma’am,” she brought out a tablet.“Sure,”And after some seconds she looked up smiling, “this way please,”She led her through a series of drunk people and a load of tables and finally arrived at a door that said VIP.Ooh, nice.She followed her into the passage taking in the different rooms as they passed and she stopped at a room that said 8, “This one ma’am, I’ll assign a cocktail server to you immediately,”“Okay,”She nodded and walked into the room leaving the attendant ou
Her back was aching, really badly and she felt the pain in her scar line as she tossed on the bed. She didn’t know what was causing the throb but she knew it had to do with the nightmare she had had the night before.It had been so vivid she still had memories of it but there were still spaces that were lacking and she needed to find them.Maybe it was time to visit her therapist after all. It would be a hard one since it had been a long she duh into her memories but she was sure it would be worthwhile.She had to find out what had happened fifteen years ago.Opening her eyes slowly, she found the room to be empty with a cold towel on her head and she removed it. She didn’t find Jaxon around and didn’t want to see him so she went to the bathroom shutting the door.She turned on the shower standing under the water to calm her breaths and they lightened up after a minute. She felt the stomach cramp start again and the headache following it and she wondered if it was just a sickness, may
Jaxon finished the meeting he was supposed to have that day for the whole week and he closed the laptop before him, “wow this is hectic?”“what is hectic?”He looked at Silas who walked in and sighed, “the whole reimplementing things,”“And I have to say it is working, the financing team is finally seeing some profits again and we may be breaking even in a few days,”“Oh, you think so,”“I know so,”“So what about the thing I asked you to find, the reason why my uncle is back and he back on the board,”“Well he bought some shares from a shareholder last two months reaching 10 percent of the company’s capital and he has even been a shareholder longer than we thought,”“How I haven’t heard of him before in any of the meetings, the general shareholders meeting, the board meeting, so why show now?”“I wouldn’t know but I learned that he had purchased some shares silently from one of our shareholders and paid for half the percentage that shareholder had,”“Do you know that shareholder?”“Y
The office was white-walled with the chairs and table standing in the corner while the couches stood in the corner and Alva sat on them facing the woman before her.“Mrs. Smith, I heard about your marriage, congratulations,”“Thank you, I appreciate it,”“So why are you here, are you facing some challenges you need therapy for, or is this about the incident of fifteenth years ago?”“It is about the latter,”“Oh, so tell me what the problem is?”“I’ve been having these trances and throwback dreams which didn’t start until recently,”“Are they different from the snatches you had when you first had the incident?”“Yes, this time they are connected to objects and certain people which I touch on the way…”“Then there is certainly a chance that they are connected to your past,”“I thought as much too,”“First…” She picked up a paper and pen, “…tell me everything that has happened within the last 12 years since we met,”“Well I had nothing for a whole year, going blank and having no record f
She stared at the doctor who had announced the result.“Yes, you’re three weeks pregnant and healthy ma’am, nothing more,”“What?”She didn’t know what to say, she was speechless, to say the least. Pregnant, how had she become pregnant, she knew how she had become pregnant but she just couldn’t believe it, like they had slept only just once and she was pregnant.The doctor stared at her with concern, “are you okay?”“Y-yes, why?”“You’re so pale, is this not good news?”“No o-of course it is, I’m just…I…”“Should I tell Mr. Smith if you’re too shy or uncomfortable to tell him?”“What no, I’ll, I’ll tell him myself, I’m cool,”“Oh okay then, I guess that will be all,”“Yes thank you,”She stood up and took the test results knowing where she was going but not knowing how she was doing it the shock was too much but she knew she went to the car outside where Jessie waited for her.“Oh Alva, you’re done?”“Yes,”“What is wrong, you’re looking kind of pale?”“I…I don’t even know what to say
