A week after the document had been sent out, Elena went to the location on the mortgage document following her instinct to check how things played out with the letter.The garage was called Owenkays.Elena didn’t have to knock, she went into the garage and saw a pair of long legs in a baggy dirty Jean under the hood of a car, assuming it was a man she said“excuse me Mr"The person rolled out and it turns out it was a beautiful blonde lady.Taken aback by her slender, perfect shape and beauty hidden behind the oversized clothes she was wearing Elena stepped back a bit but before she could stop herself she said the first thing that came to her mind.“You’re too pretty to be under the hood of a car"The blonde shook her head, wiping her hands with the rag she picked on the floor she said.“And I believe you’re too smart to be gender biased when it comes to jobs or maybe you just look smart"Shaking her head Elena quickly said.“Am sorry I didn’t mean it that way, I just meant it as a com
By 5:00pm Elena was packing up her things to leave when Fred walked out his office, heading straight to Elena’s desk he said.“Let’s go"Elena stopped when she heard his voice , raising her head up with wide eyes she asked“go where"“out of course, to talk about this" Fred said pointing to himself and Elena.Not getting what he meant, she kept looking at him with one raised brow and a questioning look.“there’s chemistry between us and we need to sort this out"“chemistry” Elena scoffed but didn’t get to finish her sentence as Fred dragged her with one hand and grabbed her bag with the other.Everyone around just starred at them with open mouth, no one has seen their president behave that way before. The rumour spread fast around the whole office, some took pictures and other made videos and posted it on their office gossip page on WhatsApp where Clarissa found the news.Clarissa had made sure to be friends with Natalie, knowing she couldn’t always hang around Fred to chase away
Fred walked towards Elena, his steps firm and steady like he had a purpose, his face stoic and eyes cold, his jaw clenched and unclenched a few times before he stood right in front of Elena.“Who do you think you are"He asked through gritted teeth, his voice was low but audible enough for her to hear every word.“Am not some luggage that can be passed on as you wish”He squint his eyes and raised a brow, bending his head a little he said.“you’re right, we’re not compatible"He straighten up after saying those word and turned around, walking back to his office as Elena gawk behind him.Elena went to her desk and sat down, her head hung low.“I knew this mouth of my will cause me trouble one day"She muttered, shaking her head she looked up to see the ladies she was talking with earlier at one corner laughing.Her eyes dimmed as she stared back at them with daggers in her eyes.“Hmm" She sighed.“what’s the point, I just hope he doesn’t kick me out before I finish my task"She muttere
“Come to the office Elena”Elena heard me Jem said when she picked up.“Good, I was hoping to speak with you also”She dropped the call and rushed to her desk to grab her bag.Stepping outside the office, she was hit by the hot air the sun was emitting, so she used her hand as a shade for her face and squint her eyes so she could see.She saw a cab approaching and quickly waved the cab.“Lingdon Street, number twenty” She told the taxi man who nodded and Elena got in.Looking out the window she thought of how she would put the matter to Mr Jem so as to persuade him, but she felt confident that he will believe her after all he has known her the longest in that work place in fact she wouldn’t have been there if Mr Jem hadn’t recruited her.Elena remember all those years ago when she lost her father, Mr Jem had helped paid for her tuition and he recruited her into his company right after she graduated from College, he had been lenient with her all these years, after she lost her D
Elena was so furious she had to take a few second to take deep breaths before finally walking out of the office, knowing she needed someone who will listen and allow her vent she picked up her phone and called Sarah.“Hi girl”Elena said in a calm voice that sounded strange to her own ears.“wow, what’s up”Sarah said not bothering with pleasantries.“Where are you, am coming over”Elena said walking towards the road.“Brooklyn road, Maria’s bridal store”Elena cut the call and hailed a cab, the word bridal sinking when she had sat in the taxi.“Have been a bad maid of honour but i can use this break to make it up to her”She thought when she remember that Sarah was planning for her wedding and she as the maid of honour has not been very helpful, Sarah has been a friend that stayed with her through thick and thin, every time she has something bothering her, she could always confide in Sarah, Shirley had been the third person in their friendship but she turned out to be a bac
Hearing what Carl had to say about Sarah to the lady with him, Elena’s stomach churn, fiddling with the watch on her wrist as bead of sweat gathered on her fore head.“how do I tell Sarah that the man she adore is just a piece of shit”She muttered to herself, Sarah and Carl have been together for six years, she had always envied their relationship and thought they would definitely end up together, Carl has always been really nice to Sarah and he always doted on her so Elena has never doubted his love for Sarah.Hearing that he had been with her for six year simply because her father was rich and he hopes to improve his economic situation through their marriage made Elena disgusted and further strengthen her resolution to stay away from romance.One look at her face when she stepped outside and Fred knew something was terribly wrong, it was as if they were in tune and she didn’t have to say anything before he knew she wasn’t happy at all, he quickly walked forward towards her an
“ I told the HR to get you a new assistant, I heard they held an interview today, they got someone they think will do fine, she should be resuming soon”John said as he put his head into his office at the door.“come in”Fred said raising his head to look at her.John walked into the office and sat on the chair in front of Fred.“sup man”He said looking at Fred.Fred’s expression was sober.“John, I don’t need a new assistant”Fred said, his voice low but firm“why not”John asked, his eyes slightly wide showing his surprise.Fred didn’t answer John, he looked away stroking his chin lightly.“I see, you want her back don’t you”John said, his eyes wider now and he said at the edge of his seat.“I can’t believe you man, you actually want her back after what she did, wake up man, she’s not to be trusted”John said shaking his head.“well I didn’t say I want her back, I just said I don’t need a new assistant at least not for now”Fred said, his jaw clenched “please t
At Poley’s bar. Elena managed to get Sarah forget about Carl but not without getting her drunk and even getting herself drunk, the two ladies began drunk dancing with Elena dishing out all her funny dance moves and making funny faces, soon they became the centre of attention in the bar and some men gathered around them hoping to take advantage of their condition.One of those men put his hands on Elena’s waist and she didn’t waste time in twisting his hand as she said.“i don’t know you and I don’t like you”Her words were slurry and the man laughed and tried to draw her closer while another one of the men grabbed Sarah and drew her closer.Sarah bite hard on the hand of the man and screamed“men are scum, stay away from me”Elena pushed the man drawing her away and giggled at the shocked expression on his face.Two men in suit walked into the bar, one of them with sharp grey eyes.They have the air of power around them that makes people move out of their way.Looking at the
Not knowing what to do, Elena decided to stop by to get Mrs Derek’s record, since Mrs Derek was the first to report a case against Giant’s limited, Elena wants to starts from the beginning and see if there’s any loophole that can help clear Fred’s name. she quickly turned left after making up her mind, she walked straight to the record room where all the file containing cases are kept, it was easy to locate Mrs Derek’s file as the files were arranged alphabetically, Elena simply scanned through the files till her eyes landed on the ones that started with letter D, she proceed to look closely at the files until she found the one with Derek case written boldly on the edge, picking up the file she looked through the information on Mrs Derek, she brought out her phone and took pictures of the pages that shows information like her house address and phone number, then she placed the file back and rushed out of the record room.Tracing the address on the picture she took, she found Mrs De
Elena sat on her bed blinks Ng rapidly trying to clear her head and her mind but she couldn’t make sense of the call she had just received.“How did Sarah end up sleeping with a stranger”She muttered and tried to think back to previous night, flashes of last night played in her memory and she remember vaguely Fred telling someone to take Sarah home.Her eyes became wide and round like a sauce pan the moment she realised what had happened.“Oh shit”She said face palming herself.“what have I cause, if I hadn’t insisted on taking her out to forget about Carl, this wouldn’t be happening”She said, her index finger on her right hand was at the corner of her mouth as she thought about the whole thing.Grabbing her phone she dialled Fred’s number but there was no response, she tried it again and this time he picked up the call but even before she could say anything, she heard his strained voice.“i’ll call you back”He said and cut the call, Elena felt the hair on her body stand
