FAMILIARIZATIONLILY’S POVThe conversation with Mr. Damson had ended abruptly as Lily hurriedly hushed her goodbyes and went out to meet Fin.Lily and Fin had gone to a nearby restaurant, Fin had mentioned that it was to make her comfortable and she was happy to have another positive energy outside of Mr.Damson’s daily scrutiny of anything and everything she had done.Breaking the ice after finding the right spot, Fin had asked with concern on his face. “Are you good? I suspect not. You sounded so desperate to get the job back” “Yes, I did. Something personal came up and I had no other option than to reach out. Getting a new job would take a long time too.”, Lily explained as briefly as she could.“Would you like to share?” Fin asked persistently to know why.“My mama called me about my brother’s health and I think it's wise to keep my job to help with whatever finances might arise”. Lily had unconsciously blurted out what exactly bothered her.“Your brother? What's wrong?”“We sti

DAMSONHe could hear his phone ring in the room as he was taking his evening bath. He sunk deeper into the warm hot tub as he needed to relieve some tension off his shoulders and he could not be bothered by a ringing phone. Whoever it was would have to wait till he was chanced to get it. He caught himself dozing off and reluctantly pulled himself up and stepped out of the tub, he reached for his towel and dabbed his body with it. After he ensured that he was dry, he went into his room and put on a lightweight material tee and shorts as he was going down to have dinner next. He picked up his phone from the table and saw the missed call was from Maggie. He assumed she was calling him for dinner but on further thought, she never called him so why would she start now? He put the phone in his pocket as he thought he would see her downstairs at dinner. Settling at the table, the chef came and dished out his meal. It was a three-course meal but he wasn't feeling too hungry so he instructed

“Arrghh, can I get a break”, Lily says as her phone rings. She needed a break, looking at the screen it was Mama, at least she could complain to her.“Hello mama,” Lily greeted her mum, but the grave silence just revealed that something was wrong.“Ma, are you okay? Should I come over there?”“Lily, your brother is sick. Philip is sick, I don’t think it’s good. The doctor said he would run some tests to find out what exactly is wrong”“Mama, I’m coming over”. Lily replied with a scared voice.“You have work tomorrow, don’t you?” Her mama asked.Lily couldn’t mention that Mr Damson had asked her to leave and that she might have potentially left her job.“Yes, mama. Is he good Phillip? Can we FaceTime? I’m still worried.”“Oh, yes we can, he’s asleep now, once he’s awake I’ll let you know.”“Alright, ma.”The call ends and puts Lily in confusion and jeopardy of not understanding what to do. She could not let Mama worry about her job, she also could not let her know everything that had h

LILY’s P.O.V The JobHe hasn’t even checked my credentials and he’s saying he doesn’t think I fit in here. Rude is an understatement in describing him. Lily never saw him coming. Mr.Holland was a different breed, the difference was so clear.Unable to accept defeat. She regains her courage and decides to tackle Mr. Damon as she turns back into his office.“Why are you still here?” he asked as soon as he saw her.“I was prepared for an interview and I’m pretty much sure I’m capable of proving myself. We can start the interview now, Sir.” She said to him.A little look of shock displayed on his face which he wiped away as soon as possible.“Okay, can I see your credentials?” “Here they are”, she presented them to him.Scrolling through, his face was still with no reaction, how then was she supposed to know what he was thinking? Her palms got sweaty as she expected a response from him.He finally spoke, “I’m surprised you have a pretty good grade I must giv

Lily’s POV THE MEETING “ Come with your credentials to the company tomorrow, unfailingly” the text had read.There was no time to do an investigation of who sent the text. She knew it had to be someone from the company and her biggest suspect was Damson. Anyway, that shouldn’t be her concern now, she should be focused on ensuring her credentials were intact and well put together. She had continually worked on her already perfect CV overnight and now it was hitting mid-day.She should sleep but Lily had to continue her interview practice questions. She wanted to get the “She is qualified to work here” regardless of whatever the wish had already guaranteed her the job.She was finally done, and she decided to take a much-needed sleep to help out with the dark circles that were already forming in her eyes. ***It was already the meet-up morning and her alarm had woken her up, rolling off her bed, another habit she had gotten from bei

DAMSON Work was lagging. Damson was feeling the effects of not having a secretary in his office. He couldn't seem to find where anything was filed. The other secretary who tried to fill in for her pending the time he found another competent one kept on getting on his nerves. “Has he always been this irritable or was she just plain dumb?” he had caught himself musing on several occasions. He needed to find a new competent secretary and fast at that. A part of him thought Lily would be the perfect fit but the other part of him vehemently declined. He didn't want someone who had any sort of familiarity with him. It would breed contempt and he couldn't allow that. Besides, women weren't his cup of tea any longer. Every one of them he became familiar with always gave him a reason to regret meeting them. Fin had been advising him to extend the opportunity to her since Damson had told him about her going for an interview and all instead of stressing himself trying to get someone e

LILY’s POV A MessAnother sunny day, the summer is currently hitting hard. There was no plan for Lily today as she had decided to take a needed one-day break following the funeral, job interview and the will. Rolling off the bed like a little child, Lily finally decides to check her phone lazily. She remembers she got a beep and was too tired to check whatever was up.“Let’s check my texts”, she had muttered to herself a habit she had formed over time since she stayed alone. Scrolling through her text, an unknown number draws her attention.“Hello Lily, I know you don’t know me but I think you should take up Mr.Holland’s offer. I think the enterprise would be the best for you to achieve whatever dreams you have as a business administrator. I’m looking forward to seeing you. Damson needs you. From Fin”Who was Fin? was what ran through Lily’s mind. Damson needs her for what? Confusion runs through her. Lily cannot deny that working at the company would do mo

DAMSON“Lily went for an interview, she wouldn't be coming back until later in the day”, Damson overheard the housekeeper telling the chef on his way out.It was the day after the burial and he was tired. Sleeping in for most of the morning did little to ease his tiredness. He had the chef make him chamomile tea when he woke up which gave him enough strength to get the day started. He was going to see Fin put some things in place for work tomorrow as he wouldn’t be able to make it to the office. He trusted Fin with his office affairs which made it easy for him to carry out his duties whenever he was not opportune to be in the office.“An interview? not at his firm” he mused. If Lily got a job elsewhere, how else was he supposed to fulfil his father’s wish of giving her a job at the firm? On the other hand, though, he was happy he wouldn't have to deal with that as he would have a valid alibi. “Hopefully, she gets the job, '' he prayed.The drive to Fin’s apartment was short as his sh

DAMSON •Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened. •We are reminded how short life really is, and how we are just passing through. •What we have once enjoyed deeply we can never lose. The seconds were turning into minutes, the minutes into hours and the hours into days. He groaned as he lifted himself from the chair he had previously been sitting on to make himself a cup of tea. He has been trying to come up with some quotes for his tribute but they all sounded shallow to him. He was running out of time and he still couldn't come up with anything. His eyebags were enough indication that he was not getting enough sleep and it was showing in his level of productivity. He did not think that some mere string of words could properly convey the love he had for his father and how much he missed him but turned out not everyone thought so. He tried to look for inspiration from the tributes of others but it didn't help a bit. All he could think of was how most of them loo

Mr Holland has done quite a lot for her by sponsoring her school fees. At least she wouldn't have to deal with school loans after graduation. "Bless that man", she said aloud.
