It's been over a month since the incident with Vivian and Victoria was catching up really well. The project was a huge success and therefore, the new programming team was not dispersed instead they named the team 'The Brain box'.Rebecca became civil with Victoria. She was starting to warm up to her even if they do not speak to each other that much. They greeted each other and asked about their day whenever they came across one another.Elizabeth would not let Victoria be as she constantly told her about her charming Mr charming whose face she refused to show her and name she refused to tell her.She wanted to see the man who had stolen her friend's heart and made her crazy in love. "Good morning Clara." Victoria greeted Clara once she was standing in front of her desk."Good morning Victoria." Clara replied with a smile on her face. "I see you are in a good mood today." Clara said, stating the obvious.Victoria smiled. "Nothing much, just grateful that I am alive." She tells her.

Victoria watched as both men hugged one another. She didn't need anyone to tell her that they knew each other."When did you come back?" Mr Smith asked."Last week. Was planning to surprise you but I guess the surprise ruined it." Landon said."It's still a surprise. Didn't know. What are you doing here?" Mr Smith asked."I came to see someone and luckily I bumped into you or should I say sadly as I wanted to surprise you about my arrival." Landon pinched the bridge of his nose."Oh I see." Mr Smith said.Landon turned his attention back to Victoria who listened to both men as they conversed. "You know her?" Landon pointed at Victoria.Mr Smith nodded his head. "Yes. She is one of my top programmers." Mr Smith replied, making Victoria blush. He had just introduced her as a top programmer to someone. She never thought he thought that much of him although she could have easily guessed as he invited her to work for him.She suddenly remembered Clara's words to her the other time about Mr

Elizabeth startled when the light suddenly switched on and a voice spoke. She had just come back from meeting Mathew and she wished the day never came to an end.Each moment she spent with him was precious. She has finally fallen for him completely and wouldn't want to back out."My gosh Victoria!" She placed her palm on her chest, calming her raging heart. "You scared me." She sighed.Victoria brows raised in a questioning manner. "Really? Well..." She trailed off as she walked closer to her friend."We need to talk." She pointed at Elizabeth and then at herself.The skin between Elizabeth brows creased and her nose scrunched. "What are we talking about?" She asked, perplexed.Victoria facepalm herself. "Well, I do not know. You tell me." She shrugged."Tell you what Toria? I do not know about you but there is nothing I have to tell you that I haven't." She defended.Victoria folded her arms across her chest. "Really? Cone on Bee, you and I know there is something."She sighed when s

"I need a favor from you Jason." Landon said as he took a seat opposite his friend in his office.The skin between Mr Smith's brows creased. Landon rarely asks for favors and when he does, it's always the things you do no expect he asks of.Mr Smith cleared his throat, "What is it?""I want you to give Victoria some hours off so I can take her out." He tells him.Mr Smith was taken aback by his friend's request. He took his hands from his pants pocket feeling they were becoming sweaty."Hmmm...what can I say? I'm speechless." Landon smiled. "Well it's simple. Just give her some hours off and that's all." He tells him.Mr Smith didn't like the kind of feeling he got hearing his friend request for some hours to take Victoria out. He gulped, "Okay. I will give it to her but do not be out too long." He tells his friend.It wasn't that he couldn't say no but he didn't have any good reason not to let Victoria off after all she didn't have much to do and even if she did, she would still hav

Mr Smith paced around his office as he looked at his wrist watch every once in a while to know the time. He has been restless since Victoria left with Landon. He couldn't concentrate on his work as the memory of Victor laughing at Landon filled his head.He was a man of patience but today he just wasn't having enough patience. He looked out through his glass and then saw a familiar jaguar drive in. He felt a little bit of relief knowing it was Landon's. Landon came out of the car, went to the other side and opened it for Victoria.Mr Smith placed both his hands in his pants pocket as he watched them from his office. He watched as they conversed and how he escorted her back to the building.He walked back to his table, dialed a number on his landline. "Tell Victoria to come to my office now." He demanded then put down the landline.Victoria had not settled on her chair when she got told that Mr Smith wanted her in his office. She wondered in her mind what it is he wanted to see her for

Victoria gasped as she stared at the beautiful mansion in front of her and the humongous gate. She never expected anything less from Mr Smith which was why she almost knocked myself on the head for being shocked by what she just saw.She would never have come to Mr Smith mansion if Clara had not asked her to. She would never imagine Mr Smith's house. As she stood in front of the mansion with her eyes blinking, she suddenly remembered what had brought her and on whose request it was."Are you okay Clara?" Victoria asked with concern as she followed Clara into the restroom.Clara groaned. "I'm...fine. Just...running stomach." She tells her.Victoria heaved a sigh of relief hearing that. "Thank goodness! I got worried." She confessed."What is it that you want Victoria?" Clara asked."I came to drop some files with you and then i saw you running away." She tells her."Oh. Thanks Victoria. Just...just drop them on my desk. I will go through them later." She tells Victoria."Okay." Victori

Just as Victoria reached the bus stop, she checked her bag in search of her apartment key but couldn't find it and then it clicked to her that she had brought it out as she used her key earlier to drill hole in a small wood. She sighed. Mr Smith didn't look like someone in a good mood and she couldn't tell why. He didn't come to the office too and she began to wonder. She began to walk back to the cabin, hoping and praying within her that he was in a better mood before she got to his place.When she reached his front door, she contemplated. She wasn't sure if she should knock or sneak her way in and get the key and leave without being noticed. She knocked on the door after deciding it was for the best. She got no reply and she knocked again and again but got no reply. Just as she decided to do the latter, the door opened. Mr Smith looked pale and dizzy, she could tell from his physical appearance. The skin between her brows creased as she scrutinized him. "Are you okay Mr Smith?" S

If anything that attracted Mr Smith to Victoria, it would be how unpredictable she was. This would make it the second time he reminded him he was not her boss outside of work. A chuckle escaped his lips."I am not your boss? You never cease to amaze me Ms Perkins." He shook his head amusingly."Yes Mr Smith." She grinned at him. "So you will do as I say, am I understood?" She raised her brows in question making Mr Smith burst into a fit of laughter.She was surprised to see him laugh this hard. She has never seen him laugh talkless of smiling and it made her laugh too. Mr Smith had always felt there was something different about her and now she had just proved it to him. "You say I am not your boss yet you address me as Mr Smith? What are you trying to prove Ms Perkins?" He asked, a lopsided grin formed on his face.She placed her hands on her jaw as she acted as if she was thinking. "Hmmm...aren't we on a formal basis? I mean you call me Ms Perkins and not Victoria so why not do the
