Anita quickly drags her plate of food closer to herself and starts eating.The company serves three major meals: jollof rice, fried rice, or porridge. These are the main options available to all the workers, except on special occasions.Anita quickly eats her jollof rice and chicken, and Temisa knows she isn't lying about the CEO's secretary being sacked.Throughout her meal, Temisa keeps an eye on the cafeteria entrance, but she hasn't seen the CEO leave since she started eating."I have to go now, Temisa; see you later." Anita smiles at her best friend and turns to leave."That's alright. So, will I be waiting for you after closing?" Temisa asks."Hmm, if you can, but I don't want you to be stressed," Anita replies."Why? Am I complaining to you?" Temisa asks again as she stands up and takes a sip from her water bottle."No, you're not. Fine, you can wait; I'm going back now." Anita quickly walks away from the table, and Temisa smiles contentedly, watching her friend leave.Temisa wa
Oyinda Matthew steps out of Liam's office and stares at all the open-glass offices.She clicks her stiletto hard on the tiled floor, staring around and standing in one spot.She sighs and walks back to Anita's office to see her, as she still doesn't understand why the CEO actually sacked his previous secretary. Oyinda was shocked to receive the news.She walks in and asks, "Where's the CEO's assistant's office?" still standing."Oh, the next two offices," Anita points to the office, and Oyinda Matthew observes that the young lady seems oblivious to whether she's angry with her or not."Okay," she says, walking out and making her way towards the assistant's office.Oyinda keeps her gaze focused to see when the boss will actually step out of his office and leave, as he was previously standing when she left him.She stares at Brown, who gestures for her to sit."How may I help you, ma'am?" Brown asks her, and Oyinda sighs again and stares at him."I am here regarding the partnership deal
Detective Noah helps Anita get out of the police station building, and they both stand out in the police yard."I am sorry about your father's case," he says.Anita pulls away from his hold and nods, "Thank you."She turns to leave, and he adds, "You will have to find a lawyer for him, as that's the only option he has left."Anita nods and walks out of the station, looking so miserable.Alfred Martin is driving past the police station and slows down as he reverses his car.He sees Anita and drives backward, wondering if he's not seeing double."Is that not Liam's secretary?" he asks himself, as he has forgotten her name.Alfred is actually driving home to his father's mansion when he decides to take the shortcut, passing the route beside the police headquarters.He slows down and parks in front of Anita, but she isn't even aware of him as she walks past his car, heading for the nearest bus station to stand."Hello!" Alfred calls after Anita, having forgotten her name."Excuse me, wait!
Martin goes into the living room and bursts out laughing. "Like seriously, sister, when did you start doing all this?." "What?!" Temisa asks him, crossing her arms around her chest, and looks at him. "Sister, don't pretend with me. You went shopping for who again?" Temisa smiles as she shrugs her shoulders. "Don't worry about your sister, Martin." She pretends so much. "She probably saw the CEO and fell for him," Mrs. Bianca explains. "Mother!, how can you say that?" Temisa seems humiliated. "Did Mother lie?" Martin asks her, and she smiles. "I do not have time for this question right now. "I am going upstairs." Temisa swiftly walks past Martin while mounting the living room stairs, and she hears her mother say, "Your sister is just a funny creature, and you shouldn't pay attention to her." "Do you believe her mother? She's the same girl who refused to work for the Benson Group; now she's tripping for the same man she referred to as a useless CEO!" "Don't mind your sister. I k
Felicia stares at Martin's face unexpectedly. She cannot kiss him, as she hasn't entirely recovered from the first kiss. "Just go." She points to the door, and he adds, "No, except you give me another kiss." Martin hasn't entirely recovered from the kiss either, as her lips are as soft and smooth as when his hard lips brush against hers. He wants more and cannot wait anymore. "No, Brother. I mean, Martin, just leave. Before Felicia can finish her phrases, Martin approaches her, forces her to the wall again, and presses his lips against hers again. He kisses her hungrily, and her knees weaken as she clutches him for support. He carries her up to her bed, then drops her and crosses over her. "What're you trying to do?" Felicia asks him as her heart panics, and she sits up, but Martin bends over and continues kissing her passionately. Felicia becomes more puzzled as Martin kisses her earlobe, lips, and face, and she is unable to push him away or scream out. The power supply i
Temisa is in her room, organizing her things in her wardrobe while admiring the long gown she bought at the boutique. She wants to look like a true wife and please her future husband's family, so she chose and purchased the greatest gown she could find. She chooses a blue gown that complements her new blue shoe, and she is pleased with it. She enters her bathroom to take a bath, and she recalls what her brother had said. She had told him that she wasn't interested in the CEO or cared about his appearance since she didn't want to wear an oversized outfit to work at the time, but now she can wear a triple-sized outfit and have him all to herself. Temisa recalls Anita telling her that she should be grateful because the CEO does not have time for other women, unlike other well-known CEOs. She smiles and removes her clothes to take a bath, then walks towards her basket to place her dirty clothes in her basket of old clothing. She picks up her room television remote and turns off the t
Anita doesn't say anything to her mother as she gets up from her seat and proceeds to the kitchen to return her used dish. It's late, and most of her sisters are already asleep, so she chooses to wash and rinse her own soiled dish to keep it clean. Just then, her mother opens the kitchen door and goes in, sighing and apologizing: "I'm sorry, mom." "It's fine?" Mrs. Tonia answers by storing her used dish in the kitchen sink. "Goodnight," she says to Anita before leaving the kitchen, while Anita sighs and takes up her mother's used dish to wash it. She rinses it out and retains it, as well as the sponge, and organizes the kitchen neatly before finally leaving the kitchen and returning to her room for a quick shower. She shakes her head as she recalls the man who offered to drive her home. "What does he want from me?" she asks herself as she opens her room door and steps in. "I could have accepted, but I don't trust him," she says as she enters her bathroom and strips before takin
Anita leaves her compound and closes the main gate as she heads to the nearest bus stop to catch a bus to the industrial regions. After paying her fees, she gets on the next available bus and arrives at the industrial district bus stop. Anita hops off the bus and walks into the busy, crowded street, where many workers also navigate their way to their workplaces. She arrives at the main entrance gate of the Benson group of firms early and lines up, unlike the previous day. Anita looks at the line of large automobiles pulling into the company and wishes she had enough money to buy a car for her mother, who has always wanted to own and drive one. Since her father was detained, he hasn't been home, and the bank has automatically seized his car because she has not seen it since her father left for work and didn't return home. She stands in line, wondering why the bank personnel have yet to arrive at their residence to give them a quiet notice to depart. Anita sighs as the line mov
