Meanwhile! Mr. Knight's office went silent and the worker was wondering what was happening? They all gather up at the end of the stairs... Kuwain arrived at the office and no one noticed that he was there.“Do you think something bad will happen?” One of the workers asked."Not sure but it's possible, after seeing Ms. Jhonia took his elevator up and rushed to his office like that, while he's having a meeting." Another took the chance to resplied and express her thoughts.“Why isn't he yelling at her?” Another one asked while they waited with anxiety."I don't know, did you know he agreed to pay for Ms. Jhonia's welcome party? Which is two weeks away.” One female responded to the question asked, she then asked their acknowledgement of him paying for Jhonia’s party.“Are they dating?” One asked with doubt.“Maybe, but I doubt it's any of those. All of you remember that Bac
Later that day!“Really? Wow, that Mr. Lephad is really something.” Female worker asked, saying as she chunked down her alcohol.“But Ms. Jhonia, why are you not eating?” Female worker asks and suddenly every attention turns to Jhonia.“Huh? Oh, I'm okay you guys eat.” Jhonia said coming out her thought recollecting when she spoke with Mr. Askisha."This is weird! The system is saying the company name is S&C Shampoo and conditioner, Ms. Smith. Why is this so? I have worked here for almost five years but it's Baco I know it as." Mr. Askisha said, and explained to her with confusion over the phone.“That's exactly why the contract he sent Sky was confusing, see? The name on the top of the contract is not what's on the end of the paper. When I go through the email last night I realized the lost Sky would face, I then notice this morning that, they were hidden letters on the paperwork that is why i call pretending to be his Secretary, Sir, what I'm about to ask of you and for you to do
Three days later! Jhonia arrives at work at 8: AM.“Jhonia!” A female voice called out her name, as she was heading to her department. Jhonia stopped and turned to the direction of which she thinks the person called her from.“Hi there, how are you?” Jhonia asked Azerjie after landing eyes on her, she noticed her standing in the distance.“I'm doing well. Ah, tonight is the annual red carpet party and...”“You are hesitating, why?” She approaches her, as she spoke about the red carpet party. Jhonia asked her after seeing that she had pause at and. “What happened? Please tell me!” Jhonia asked her, pleading that she speak to her hoping that she would not be afraid and speak!“Please help me! My friends are all against me, now my husband is trying to control me and my money. He's using my dead mother's body against me. Help me! Please!” Azerjie rushed into Jhonia, arms breaking down as she spoke of her friends coming at her and her husband trying to take control of her and her mon
"We are here. Ms. Azerjie, are you ready?" Kuwain asked seconds before the car pulled up at the red carpet entrance.“Is Jhonia here?” Azerjie asked him, her voice sounds like a singer who has lost their voices before singing."Let me check... Yes, she has arrived inside." Kuwain said and checked his phone then responded to her before putting the phone away and getting ready to leave the car, suddenly Azerjie stopped him by grabbing onto his arm.“I want her to walk the Red Carpet with me, call her out!” Azerjie request in a demanding tone of voice.."I'm sorry, I just found out that Ms. Jhonia is not-- Ah, how do I say this? Ms. Azerjie, Ms. Jhonia might have a trauma with cameras so..."Kuwain tries to explain to her the best he could, that Jhonia hates being in front of the camera, taking a long pause.“I see. I understand! Instead of being a bodyguard please, walk with me, Jhonia is the one who asks you to guard me so I feel if you do it she will be okay with it. Don't you thi
I got you!"Are you okay? ...I will send you home." Kyhe asked Jhonia and said to her.“No, sorry. My friends are here. I have to say goodbye to Azerjie before she goes so you go on without me, also thank you.” Jhonia declined his offer and explained why. Then give her thanks."What for?" Kyhe asked her.“For tonight and the dress.” Jhonia said with a smile then walked away from him."Why do I even care?" Kyhe asked himself and grimaced, he then walked towards the entrance. Jhonia went to meet up with the girls waiting for Azerjie to finish speaking with Mr. And Mrs. Allahans.“Who was that man you were speaking with?” Tianjie ask Jhonia?“That was Ky- My boss Mr. Knight. Why?” Jhonia cut herself off from calling Kyhe by his first name and addressed him instead then asked.“Really? He's so handsome, and hot! But why did he looked at you like you were his lover and not your boss, especially
Inside the office. The phone to Jhonia’s desk rang and she picked it up. “Hello,”"Come to my office." Kyhe voice said to her and hung up! Jhonia turned her head looking at the screen off glass, with a sigh she got up and went to his office, she knocked before entering.“You call for me, what can I do for you? Mr. Knight.” Jhonia said, addressing him, he looked up at her."No one is around... I need you to attend this party in my place with Azerjie, Samrah, Nielly, and Aric. I won't be able to attend because of my family, so I'm sending you instead." Kyhe said hand her a red envelope, Jhonia sighed with relief to hear Kyhe said because of my family, she took the envelope her facial expression changed.“A-- Mr. Knight I'm spending the end of year with my mo-- With my family I can'”"This was Azerjie request when I told her I won't attend, as my secretary, my representative. Jhonia, I will not accept your no, so
8: PM. Jhonia, Azerjie, Samrah, Nielly, and Aric. Arrive separately as Jhonia didn't want to drive with everyone as due, her driver Orean took her instead of the company car. Jhonia entered the building with Azerjie, and the others. She met Mrs. Pinnock on the way in and decided to introduce them.“Azerjie, I want to introduce you to one of your biggest fans. Mrs. Pinnock please met Azerjie.” Jhonia said to her with a wink as a reminder no one knows and shouldn't know that she's the wife of the Sky rival company, while the others join the party.“Jhonia!” Madiea voice called, and she looked up over at them and then wave at them.“Should we take a photo together? It's a relief to know that I have a fan who reminds me of my mom. Jhonia you're too good.” Azerjie asked as she continued to speak to Mrs. Pinnock, she then said to Jhonia.“Hehe, I have nothing to do with it. I will take the photo for you!” Jhonia sai
Similar fragranceNext day! Kyhe woke up and sat out on the front of the bed of an hotel room, his mind rush back to the night before.“Wow. So glamorous.” Jhonia eyes open wide as she said with a smile."Happy New Year-- Where is Azerjie?""Happy New Year-- Where is Azerjie?" Kyhe cut himself and asks. Just then Jhonia received a message.“Happy New Year to both of you, thanks for allowing me to watch the fireworks with you.” Azerjie message.“Happy New Year, Mr. Knight. I should go now.” Jhonia said stepping back! Kyhe grabbed her by her waistband and pulled her back to him. The two of them stared at each other for a moment…"This was nice... To watch the fireworks with you, Ms. Smith. You should turned around and don't just step back with looking. You could fall or almost fall like earlier. Okay?" Kyhe said to her before letting her go. Jhonia speechlessly nodded, turned around and leave quickly."
Kyhe was yet to get his question out as it was forgotten about with other things. The following day Jhonia decided to go by the office knowing Kyhe would not be there until noon.“Hi Jhonia-”“We need to talk!”She stared at Josephine, who lost her smile in an instant with Jhonia’s tone of voice.Jhonia made her way to the conference room where she took a seat at the head of the table. The CEO’s seat only Josephine sits there when having a small meeting with her team. Jhonia on the other hand sat there and that was surprising for Josephine.“I have known you for a long time, Josie, but I never expected this. I know you’re so well, so I’m going to ask you to tell me. Yesterday I asked you to come with me to the after party for whoever won the contract. You refused because you had someone to do dirty work, or did you have something else more important to do?”Josephine kept silent because she kne
Nearce was not happy that Sky received the contract, but he was too calm about it in Kaylia's eyes. While to others he is a businessman who accepts that his company was not chosen. Even with a smile on his face he congratulated Kyhe for his hard work and great achievement.He left the building, but he did not leave the location. Time passed and people were leaving. He was notified of the after party at another location. He thought Jhonia would be there and so he decided to go.Later that evening.Jhonia and the girls met up, they were all celebrating how good she is becoming more and more beautiful. She smiles now that she has Kyhe in her life.“That reminds me, I haven’t seen Kuwain in a while. It’s like he disappears.” Jhonia spoke of Kuwain for she hadn’t seen him and that she never asked to know why.“That’s because he is being the CEO of High View. Apparently, Mr. Knight had him brought in disguise for his cousi
Hours later.Alshane had taken the seat between Nearce and Kyhe, to signify he would be the one handling the contract. Mrs. Maniak didn’t want to show herself just yet for it would upset Jhonia.She would not want to see Kyhe walk away from what she would be asking of him, so it would be best to lay low until the public side of the contracts were signed by both parties.“Why is it like this thought?” Kaylia asked, referring to Nearce, but his eyes were stuck on Jhonia the whole time he heard not a word Kaylia spoke out.Jhonia, who was walking around and doing the necessary things needed on their hand, she was now finished with and began looking for Kyhe who should be seated but was not there.“Looking for me, my love?” His words startled her, she twirls around into his arms.“Please, be careful and be sure not to hurt yourself. I have finished with the other stuff. So, can now come and take your seat next to me where
The day off the contract signing decision. The place of the event was already picked and announced.It was like a celebrity came tethering with all the news teams and cameras about.Jhonia hesitated to leave Kyhe’s car after seeing the cameras etc. At that moment, Kyhe held her hand with a gentle squeeze. She glances up at him and returns the smile.“I know you’re a bit, because of the cameras but I’m sure it’s fine, trust me.” He said to her with surety that she wouldn’t have to panic or anything of the sort. She sighed softly and proceeded to exit the car.She went towards the entrance of the building with Kyhe a few steps behind. While on his phone he bumped into her and came to notice she was staring instead of continuing towards the building.“What is the matter?” He asked her.“Are you alright?” he asked with concern.“Jhoni-”“I knew it. But for sure I t
“Ugh. I thought it would never stop.” She groaned then said looking down at him.Kyhe glanced up at her. Jhonia wears a brown leather skirt above her knees. A split exposing her thigh, a black top barely hiding her breath. He was drooling over her but seeing her like this made him feel like she has two personalities.“How could you?” he yelled, asking her with a serious face.Jhonia walked closer to him with a smile. Her light touch of make-up makes her face sparkle. His nose was bleeding again.“Not again Kyhe. If you can handle me naked, you-”“So, it was you.” Azerjie said, cutting her off.“Huh?” Kyhe asked in surprise, looking at Azerjie.“I asked her if she was the one making you all glowy happy, but she pretended like it wasn’t her. And it’s not like he can’t handle you naked. It’s because you look different, sex appealing, and he can’t touch beca
“I thought you said revenge wasn’t your thing.” Josephine said to Jhonia, who looked up at her at that instance.“It’s not. At least not for me. Josephine, my friends are now involved. Nearce is going out of his way to make sure their husbands fall. These girls already had a hard life while others are having it easy-”“You too had a hard life Jhonia. You almost died. But how many time does someone need to go at you or how many hurt do you have to go through-”“That’s enough. I expected better from you Josephine. Are you not her friend too? Would you rather she watches you get hurt and fallen apart than help you?”Kyhe intervened between them as he realized what Josephine was doing. Even after Jhonia telling her that she is willing to be revengeful for Nearce is doing this to hurt her by hurting her friends.Jhonia's attention turned to Kyhe when he asked his question. And in that moment, she r
The following day, Jhonia pace her room on the phone while Kyhe was making breakfast for them both.“I don’t understand. Please, tell me what could possibly stop you and your husbands from showing up like I asked.” Furiously she spoke with her friends for the sake of their husband’s company.“We are sorry-”“What I want to hear is what happened, not that you’re sorry. If you don’t want my help, say so. Kyhe waited for you guys.” She cut them off as she didn’t want to apologize but seek what happened.“It’s not like that. Iaw, we do need you; we just can’t be bothered to take a bracelet that doesn’t belong to us. We would rather put it back and receive it because where’s the fun in that, right?” Madiea responded and called her by their nickname for her. She felt something was wrong but when Madiea spoke in code confusing everyone, Jhonia went back in the past. (Ch
“So, do you want to talk about it?” Jhonia looked over at him and asked.Kyhe stared at her like he hadn’t seen her in years. With a smile he walked over and hugged her.“Can you tell me what she meant?” He asked her after hugging her.Jhonia wondered what he was asking about. But she returned the hug hoping he was going to say something, but he didn’t.“What who mean?” She asked him.Kyhe pulled back from the hug and walked over to her couch bed. He took a seat and waited for her to come and sit next to him.“What is up with you? Don’t answer that. I wanted to tell you, I will accept your offer but after the make-up deal is yours. Also, I finally decided how I was going to take down Baco. So, please tell me you did not do away with the paperwork of their contract.” Jhonia asked as she made her first step walking over to him, she then told not to answer. She went on to tell hi
Meanwhile, at Jhonia’s place.“You left me, you fucking left me with no one to turn to and no one to depend on. Even when I had been, being strong for myself and protecting myself! I still needed you. So, why tell me why?” Jhonia cried out telling him what he did to her even though she was strong and protective on her own. She needed him, but he wasn’t there, and she needed to know why.“I shouldn’t have left you; I know. I should have told you; I know. I hurt you; I know. But I had no time to do it, Augu”“Don’t you call me that! I hate you.” Her cold manner surprised him when she spoke, her heart felt pain because of her own sentence, her eyes told him she wished to take it back, but it was already said.“Calmness makes you have full control. Jhonia, why are you lashing out of control like this?” He said to her as he stepped to her and asked her, reaching out for her hand.Nearce
