The slowly passed and Angela wrapped up for the day. She put her reports together and after sending the email, he carried the hard copy to Bryce's office. She knocked and entered the office after she heard Bryce's voice inviting her in. "I brought the report," Angela announced and headed for the place where she was supposed to drop the documents."Angela," Bryce called out to Angela his voice very soft."Yes President," Angela responded and moved towards Bryce's desk. "How are you?" Bryce asked and relaxed in his seat staring at Angela."I am fine," Angela replied staring at him with no expression at all registered on her face. "Have you eaten?" Bryce asked. "No please," Angela replied and lowered her head."Why?" Bryce asked. "I was scared of what this day will bring. I felt a bit relaxed after the verdict was given," Angela said. "And thank you for the phone," she appreciated changing the subject."That is fine. I believe you have learnt your lesson. This is the corporate world
Bryce was forced to remain awake and occasionally check on Angela till morning. He finally drifted off to sleep at 4 am. It was 5 a.m. when Angela woke up from sleep and slowly pulled herself out of Bryce's arms. She quickly got ready and dressed up. Bryce was still sleeping when Angela took one last look at him before leaving the bedroom. Bryce was a very handsome man and keeping the image of his face in her mind she smiled. She used her new phone to request an Uber to the office. Angela arrived at the office at 5. 30 am and quickly started with her morning routine. She was done and unaware that Bryce was awake all through the night watching her sleep, so assumed per her itinerary Bryce would be in the office by 7 am. She sent his coffee to his office and proceeded to her office to work. Inside her office, she found a file on her desk with a note signed by Bryce. She picked up the note and read it.This is an important contract for the Don Entertainment Industry. We are signing a s
Angela stood there not sure how to feel. Just 24 hours ago she was facing the disciplinary committee for breaking a company rule with termination as the punishment. Lucky her, she was not terminated but she signed an undertaken and now this. "Mr President, I ...." Angela began and realised there was nothing she could say that would liberate her and if anything trying to explain that it wasn't her effort was not going to save the company from the inevitable."What can I do to help?" Angela found herself saying looking very sorry.Bryce was about to reply when they both heard a knock on the door. Bryce responded and Susan walked in."Mr Present, I received this email from Don Entertainment. They claim they have a contract with us," Susan said. "They sent me this and it has your stamp on it," she added and showed the document she had printed to Bryce. Bryce looked at it briefly and sat down behind his desk. He dismissed Angela with a hand gesture and he asked Susan to sit down."Now li
"This is not good. It means Angela is still going to be around," Eva said. "Wait, how about we make sure whatever nonsense experiment they are doing doesn't work?" she suggested and Susan gave it a thought."That sounds like a good plan, but how do we pull that off without drawing attention to ourselves? Let's not forget, that you fought with her and she was not dismissed. Bryce saw my reaction when I realized they were keeping her and Bryce saw my reaction again when I realised he intended to keep Angela after this second mistake. Bryce would run an investigation if a third mistake happens," Susan pointed out. "We don't have to be directly involve. We can pay someone to do the job," Eva said with a sinister smile."Great. Do you have someone in mind?" Susan asked."Don't worry about that. I will find someone perfect for the job," Eva said smiling."Remember, everything must be Angela's mistake," Susan pointed out."Let me get the person first. I come over to your house," Eva said an
Angela stood on the bus on her way wondering what Eva and Susan wanted from her. She just wished she could tell Eva, she was already married and hence didn't have any interest in Bernard but Bryce had told her their marriage must remain a secret."Why marry me in secret and ask me to move in with you, when we are not living like a married couple?" Angela thought and her mind shifted to Bryce.She recalled the feel of his body when she slept in his arms. A smile crept up her face and she began to blush. The bus stopped at her junction snapping her out of her dreaming moment. She got down from the bus and started walking towards the Estate. She was already known by the security men. She greeted and walked through the gate heading towards the apartment. She pushed the front door open and entered. Josephine welcomed her and Angela acknowledged with a nod and headed for the staircase. She climbed up and headed for the bedroom.Inside the bedroom, she tossed her bag onto the couch and took
"Perfect. Let's meet him at the restaurant across the street," Susan said."Okay," Eva replied and quickly sent a message from her phone to the person who had sent her the guy's details. "Okay, let's go. He headed for the restaurant now," she said."Okay," Susan acknowledged and stood up from behind her desk.Eva equally stood up from behind her desk and the two ladies exited the room heading for the elevator. Outside, as soon as the ladies entered the restaurant across the street, Bryce's car drove in and it was followed by that of Bernard. Bernard saw the back of Eva when she entered the restaurant but he said nothing. Bryce on the other hand was occupied by something on his phone so he didn't see anything and Angela was on her laptop. The two cars parked in their respective places and the occupant alighted, heading to the company. Everyone went to their respective office and Angela after drafting her email for the staff screening, shared it with Bryce for his approval before email
The gathered employees applauded after hearing the announcement of a new business venture for the company. Angela smiled seeing the employees were excited about the new business path. "For this project, your project lead is going to be Angela Anderson," Bryce announced and all the employees applauded. "She is new but she is doing a good job. This would be the first major project in the company. Give her your maximum committee. If we are successful, it will be our success," Bryce added.Susan and Eva clapped and forced a smile on their faces. Bernard was sitting next to them and could tell, their smiles were not genuine but he felt his feelings could be influenced by his disapproval of what Eva was doing so he ignored it. The employees started murmuring among themselves excited about the project. Bryce got down from the state and headed for the exit once he was done with giving the major announcement. Angela followed him out of the auditorium and the employees once after the other,
It was past noon when Angela, Evans and Bernard finished with what they came to do and exited the building to where they had parked their cars. "I really appreciate this support. I will put in everything to make this project a success. I would go through the feedback and go with your decisions," Don assured Angela and her team before they walked towards their parked cars."Bernard, Angela, I am heading in a different direction. I am meeting with the president for a meeting in town," Evans said."Oh, that means I have to come with you," Angela said and was about to close the open door of Bernard's car."No, Angela. This meeting is only for accountants," Evans said and smiled."Oh, okay," Angela said and sat inside Bernard's car. Bernard shook hands with Evans smiling before going around the car to get into the driver's seat. He closed the door and buckled his seat belt and Angela buckled her seat belt too. "I am hungry. Are you hungry too?" Bernard asked before starting the car engi
