"Come here," Zora said standing up to her feet and spreading her arms open for a hug.Angela stood up and hugged Zora. Zora rubbed Angela's back gently to comfort her."Thank you, Zora," Angela said withdrawing from the hug.Zora may appear not to take things seriously but she does help with good advice and also help one feel okay irrespective of what happened.Angela checked her time and she knew she needed to move to Don Entertainment. "I have to go now," Angela said and grabbed her bag. "You will be fine," Zora said placing her hand across Angela's shoulders as she walked her to the door. Angela left Zora's place and hailed a taxi to Don Entertainment. Upon arrival, she went straight to the receptionist and announced her presence. The receptionist informed Don and Angela proceeded to Don's office."So, he is the script?" Don said as soon as Angela was seated in his office. "What do you think?" he asked and Angela opened the file and read the summary of the story at the front of
This was Angela's first big project in the company and her capability is being questioned. She had successfully scripted and directed a stage play. She understands stage plays and films are different because one is a live show while the other is recorded for later view but the dynamics of directing are not so different except for the tools used. She had never directed a movie before and had never had to use movie-making tools but that is something she knew she could learn very first during the project. "Kindly return to your post," Don said to the team in the room in the room and they all exited the auditorium leaving Angela and Don alone."Ms Anderson, my company has remained on the bottom list of less popular filming industry in the entertainment circle. I had plans to up my game when your company and offered me that contract. I considered your company because it was obvious you didn't know me or anything about my company. I wanted the compensation I will receive when you cancel th
Angela stood frozen to her spot waiting to hear Bryce's next words. Since she assumed her position in the company, it's been one trouble after the other. "What issue?' Bryce asked staring at Susan."Mr Don is not happy we sent an unqualified person to manage his team. He feels insulted," Susan said. "An unqualified person?" Bryce repeated the words. "Well, call Mr Don, and tell him that, I said, this is Diamond Corporation, every employee here can handle the task assigned to them. So he should focus on his side of the deal while we do ours after," he added."Yes Mr President," Susan acknowledged and turned to leave.With her back to Bryce and now facing Angela. She glared at Angela while walking away. Angela just stared at her leave and wondered what she did to make Susan hate her so much. She recalled how Susan had received her nicely in her office the first day she came to this company. So what changed? "You care to tell me what happened at Don Entertainment?" Bryce's voice inter
Bryce stared at her face. He married her because she was the first woman he had slept with. He could not bring himself to give his body to another woman. He didn't marry her out of love, or the fact that she fits anything of his but just because she was his first. He was also very much aware he was her first too. He had never had the urge to go to bed with her again after their first time in the club where he was drugged. He didn't have much memory of how it felt and to make things worse, aside from the fact that he was always occupied with either work or family stuff, they were sleeping in separate rooms. He felt different for the first time around her when she started getting nightmares and he was forced to share a bed with her. The other day, when he saw Angela with Bernard, he didn't like it. He didn't want Angela around Bernard and feeling the two may hook up again after work, he decided to take her home himself that day. He was angry and he reminded her of their contract. She c
"Angela?" Susan called out Angela's name."I am sorry," Angela apologizes snapping out of her moment.She lowered her head stepping out of the way to make way for Susan and Bryce to enter the office. Susan deliberately stepped on Angela's feet when she took a step in and when Angela reacted by taking a step back, Susan leaned to her side and fell to the floor."What was that for?" Susan barked at Angela who appeared confused wondering what happened. "First you beat up Eva in the elevator and you pushed me to the floor? What is wrong with you?" she questioned as she got up from the floor.Bryce remained silent as he was not sure what happened. He only saw Angela move back and next Susan falling to the floor. He made no attempt to save Susan from falling. He strode into his office and stood beside the table while Susan scolded Angela."Enough Susan," Bryce intervened. "Angela you can go. Susan, get seated and let's get to business," he added and Angela exited the office immediately. "M
"Do I make myself clear," Bryce questioned."Yes, Mr President," Susan acknowledged."Now sit down and let's talk about the main reason why I called you out of your office," Bryce said and Susan pulled the chair in front of his desk and sat on it.Bryce picked a file from his desk and handed it to Susan. She accepted it and opened the first page. Bryce began to ask her questions about the file in her hand which happens to be an employee's file. The employee had been offered a contract and Bryce was not aware of it. Susan went ahead to explain what happened and Bryce decided to let that slide too giving Susan a final warning not to use their friendship for her gain. "You can go now," Bryce dismissed and Susan left.Bryce picked up his phone and dialled Angela's extension."Angela come to my office now. When coming bring the movie script along with you," Bryce said."Yes, Mr President," Angela said before the call ended. In less than five minutes, Bryce heard a knock on his door and
"So how do we send Angela to Bryce's apartment?" Eva asked after thinking through the idea. "Bear in mind that, Angela always leaves the office before Bryce," she added and sat down behind her desk."You are right," Susan replied thinking it through."Wait, you can give her another task that will make her leave the office late like the last time," Eva suggested."No, I would end up in trouble with Bryce," Susan said and snapped her finger. "I have a better idea," she said and walked up to Eva.She leaned in and whispered something into Eva's ears. Eva's eyes widened listening to Susan."That sounds perfect. This would make her incur the wrath of two bosses," Eva said laughing. "Let me call him right away," she added and fetched her phone."Hello Aaron, I have a job for you. It would require you to have a near-death experience. Can you do it?" Eva asked."You want me to risk my life to get rid of this Angela girl?" Aaron asked."Yes," Eva replied. "What did this girl do to you ladies
Angela lifted her head a little and stared at Bryce's sleeping face. She felt happy waking up to find him still in bed. It was 5 am. "Are you going to lie there staring at my face," Bryce's voice deep husky voice travelled to Angela's eyes causing her to jolt."Er, sorry," Angela apologized and tried to get up but Bryce pulled her back, making her lay back on the bed.He turned around coming halfway on top of her. He stared at her face and Angela was not sure where to look. Her eyes kept looking everywhere but his face. "Look at me," Bryce said, his voice commanding yet gentle.Angela stopped her roaming eyes and slowly shifted them to his face. He stared at her face and Angela began to feel uncomfortable with the way he was staring at her. He leaned forward and kissed her lips."I am your husband, you don't have to be shy of me. This wouldn't be the first time we have slept together," he said, his voice very low and seductive.Angela nodded with her lash lowered. He kissed again be
