10:30 AM.“What did she see in you?” A female voice asked, Jhonia ignored the question and continued going through her work file, when a hand patted her shoulder immediately she became irritated by it. She turned around in her chair looking at Emmari.“Emmari right? Right, don't ever touch me again or else.” Jhonia stated as she stood up removing her jacket and threw it in the small bin next to her chair. One of the female workers saw when Jhonia binned the jacket her mouth dropped open with surprise.“Or else what?” Emmari asks like a badass, she thinks she is.“If I were you, I wouldn't ask? If someone throws away such an expensive jacket because you touch it, there is a reason for it and why are you bothering her don't you have work to do?” The female who witnessed the jacket being binned by its owner, asked? Then said to Emmari in the following she asked?“Is she some kind of rich kid, did
Later that day! Jhonia, Kyhe, and Daeviann return to the office. Jhonia went to her desk but doing everything she needed to get done for the day was completed everything, except the contract cooperation between Sky and Baco. A company which specializes in hiring young females who dream of becoming a model!“Something doesn't feel right no matter how hard I think about it, maybe it's fine and I'm just overthinking. After all, I'm not a professional in this field. Merely using my instincts and what I learned from each job dad landed! Hmm, I should probably head home”"Ms. Smith, is something bothering you on your first day?" Kyhe asked as he came from his office to go home and realize at 8 pm. Jhonia was still in the office at that time.“Yes. No, maybe I'm just overthinking the information. I should head home.” Jhonia responded but seeing her that worried, it made Kyhe worried! Jhonia put on her coat and picked her purse with the fil
11: AM. Jhonia was seated at her desk going through a new file which she received from Kyhe after arriving at the office."Hey!" Kyhe said to her, to get her attention.“Hey! Did you come to ask me to lunch again?” She responded the same and asked him, but I didn't look up from the paperwork!"Yes, will you accompany me?" Kyhe responded to her question then asked her, with his arms crossed to his chest looking down at her!“Mmm. Give me a minute.” Jhonia responded to him and asked him for a minute. Suddenly, Kyhe lean in for a closer look at what Jhonia is doing. Jhonia writes the email then attaches the file, after she puts in both of the email addresses that belong to Kyhe, in case he missed the office email he would receive it to his personal email.Kyhe quickly put his phone to silent before she pressed send, she watched the email sent before getting and putting on her coat. She turned around to Kyhe,
Kyhe arrived at work earlier than usual but he met Jhonia on the way and decided to take the employees elevator, however, because Jhonia wasn't paying attention to see Kyhe coming the doors were closing as Kyhe began rushing up to the elevator he was just a few seconds late. Jhonia arrive up and went to her desk which she clears before even sitting down, using clubs."Ms. Smith, you are earl"“So am I! Did you not see me calling you?” The woman from the cafe yesterday said, cutting off Kyhe. He and Jhonia looked at her with surprise."I was avoiding you, didn't you notice?" Kyhe mumbled and ask beneath his voice then smiled at her. "I haven't checked my phone since last night, sorry," He added aloud, showing her to his office.“Good morning, Mr Knight.” Jhonia said to him before he walked away and to his office he said."Nothing good about the morning, Secretary Smith." He said to her with displeasure in
Next day! 10: 30 AM. Jhonia sat in her chair as her mind went back to yesterday!“I was thinking about taking it, but I want to tell you so you can tell him since he's D.O.J rivals in business.” The sentence that stayed in her head. “Rivals. Rivals. Rivals in business.” Keeps playing in her head like an ironic song she loves but wants to stop hearing. Jhonia pushed her hair back!“What do I do?” She asked herself! Immediately she picked her phone to call Mrs. Pinnock and inform her beforehand! Following her heart to do so, Jhonia spun her chair around getting up. She was frightened by Kyhe and a few other men in suits and she stepped back suddenly... As she almost fell... Kyhe caught her... From falling and possibly hitting her head on the desk! He continued to hold her just looking at her astonished eyes."Ahem." Kuwain clear his throat and Kyhe pulled her to stand properly on her feet!"Are you okay?" Kyhe
One week and couple of days later. Jhonia was home when she received a call! She picked the phone off the table from between her sofas. The call ended before she answered. She then turned down the television, and sat up properly inside the extended couch.“Is Nearce using a strange number to call me?” Jhonia asked herself ner phone rings again and this time she grabbed it and quickly answered it. “Hello!”"Good afternoon Ms. Smith, we were hoping you could give us the review you promised. But please tell us why you return the UI Jacket? You liked it when you brought it, please tell why you have it returned even though we replaced it... We"He continued to speak as Jhonia remembered the UI jacket and who she gave away after throwing it out.“I'll send my review right away, and thank you for the replacement.” Jhonia said because she knew clearly that it was Daeviann who returned it. She smiled after ending the c
Later that night Jhonia sat on her couch, watching television and having wine when her phone alarms, she picked and saw that the contract between Baco and Sky is tomorrow. She walked into the kitchen and pulled another bottle of wine and poured some into her glass taking them to the small table, she went to her room and realized she left the file at the Pinnock's household! She drank all the wine within the glass, she poured herself another and drank it all at once.“Ah, how could I forget? ...Wait. I still have it in the email!” Jhonia said, taking her phone up from the table. She opened her phone and searched for the mail message. She opened the email then she began going through the file.“Am I drunk? ...Why is the contract like this? ...Sky will be in trouble if Mr. Knight signs it. Oh no, I need to sleep to wake up on time.” Jhonia questioned her awareness, after a moment reading through the contract she asked before saying th
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
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
