"No, I love my job at Diamond Corporation. I appreciate the opportunity given me but please forgive me. I don't know what came over me yesterday. I swear it," Angela pleaded still on her knees."Are you doing drugs, Angela? Be honest with me. I hate lies," Bryce asked his anger going down seeing her kneeling with tears in her eyes and pleading. "No, I am not. I don't do drugs. I have never done drugs in my life. I swear," Angela said putting her hand in a declaration of innocence with all sincerity.Bryce's phone rang and he pulled it out of his pocket. He looked at the caller ID and answered."Hello Edward," Bryce said after answering the call."Mr Moore, my sincerest apologies. I am not sure what happened but my team had pulled the news down. Nothing of that sort will pop up again. I will make sure of that," Edward said."Thank you," Bryce appreciated and ended the call. "Get up from the floor," he said to Angela staring at her with an unreadable expression as he masked the pain he
Eva returned to her home and decided to take a shower. She felt disgusted allowing the man to touch her. She entered her shower room, pulled two different types of bath gel and mixed it up. She grabbed herself a sponge and gave her body a good scrub like she was trying to take anything of the man off her body. She entered her bedroom in a bathrobe and next she heard a knock on her door."What is it?" Eva said from inside."Ma'am, Ms Susan is here to see you," the servant reported."Tell her I will be downstairs in two minutes," Eva said to the servant from inside her room."Yes, ma'am," the servant replied and left to carry out Eva's instructions.Eva went downstairs to the living room to find Susan waiting for her. She was sitting comfortably on the sofa with a glass of whisky sitting on a table in front of her. She taps her feet impatiently on the floor. Eva drew closer and sat on a sofa adjacent to Susan's."So Angela lives with Bryce?" Susan asked her face an expression of anger.
Angela Anderson, despite what happened in the past has managed to put it behind her and completed her college education with good grades. Ten years after the tragic incident which happened on her birthday, she was now ready for the real world. With the help of her father, Mr Anderson, Angela was able to apply for a position in a well-known prestigious trillion-dollar company called Diamond Corporation. She had been called for an interview and she prepared herself for it very excited. Angela appeared to have pushed everything behind her growing up and is now focused on her future.The day for the interview finally came and Angela got ready for it. She put on a simple white blouse over a black skirt and completed her dressing with a simple necklace, small earrings and black full shoes with a 2-inch block heel. She held her hair up in a bun and checked herself out in the mirror after applying some lip gloss on her dry lips. Satisfied with her appearance, she exited her bedroom and went d
Angela lowered her head after the first applicant followed the woman in. She didn’t want to demoralise herself and lose her confidence for this interview looking at the people she was competing with. Recalling what the woman said was making her lose hope already. She was already thinking her appearance will disqualify her.While Angela was lost in her thoughts, the inner door was opened within two minutes and the applicant who had entered exited with confusion registered on her face. Angela raised her head when the applicant returned to the waiting room. She was now staring at the inner door and saw that the other applicants were equally just like her wondering what was going on with the first applicants coming out in two minutes. Susan entered the room again.“Next,” Susan called out and went back.The room was soon filled with murmuring with everyone asking the obvious questions what happened and what was going on?Angela’s heart raced against her chest yet she couldn’t get up to le
The day slowly passed and Angela decided to tell her friend Zora, a college bestie about her new employment.Inside Angela’s room, Angela was lying on her bed chatting with Zora on her phone. She swung her legs happily behind her as she laid on her belly holding the phone to her ears.“Trust me I was very scared with the way applicants were coming in as quickly as they entered the room,” Angela expressed.“Wow. You are brave. I would have left the place the moment I realized I didn’t fit the profile,” Zora said.“Well, the only thing that prevented me from leaving was my outfit and fear,” Angela said and Zora laughed on the other end of the call.“Your outfit and fear? How?” Zora asked.“Well, I was the only one who appeared to be poorly dressed. I couldn’t bring myself to walk in front of the expensively dressed applicants. That would be so embarrassing,” Angela said.“Good you dressed poorly then, if not panic would have taken you out of the competition,” Zora said. “You know what.
An hour earlier, before Angela and Zora entered the VIP 1 Section. The bartender heard his phone vibrate. Seeing the caller, he exited the bar into the backroom to answer the call.“Hello,” the bartender said, once he was alone inside the backroom of the bar.“I just got an alert that the target is in the club. She is heading towards the VIP 1 section with her friend as we speak,” said the caller.“How do I identify her?” the bartender asked.“She will be the only girl in a black dress in the VIP section,” the caller replied.“Noted,” the bartender replied and returned to the bar to continue serving the customers.His eyes hungrily scanned the people in the section but there was no lady in a black dress anywhere. After an hour, two ladies walked in, Angela and Zora. Angela was wearing a black cocktail dress and Zora was in a dark blue close-fitting straight dress whose length was just up to her thigh. The two were approached by a man who walked them to the bar. The man bought a drink
Zora left the club and went to sit in her car. She was hoping she would see Angela once the people began to leave. Meanwhile, inside a room, Angela was asleep wrapped in the arms of a man both naked. Outside, inside the car, Zora could no longer fight nature. She dosed off to sleep.Angela slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes widened when she saw the ceiling she was staring at. She tried to move but her gaze quickly got sight of the man lying down next to her. She raised the blanket, looked inside and quickly brought it down with shock plastered on her face. They were both naked. Angela panicked and fell off the bed. Her fall woke the man up.Still sitting on the floor holding the blanket as a cover. She stared at the man who slowly sat up on the bed not caring about his current state. She recognized the man as the one who had interviewed her at Diamond Corporation. She held on to the blanket and pushed herself back while sitting on the floor away from the bed as she stared at the man who
Angela lay on her bed tossing and turning, trying to come up with something to tell her parents so they would allow her to leave home and move in with Bryce, but nothing came to mind. She defeated all the ideas that came to mind with the excuse her parents would see right true her. She had not had a reason to lie to them before. This was going to be her first time. Zora came to mind and she remembered she never saw her again after leaving with the strange man to dance. She fetched her phone which had charged up a little and dialled Zora's number."Hello Zora," Angela said."Girlfriend, where are you?" Zora asked sounding relieved. "I am home," Angela replied sounding downcast."I am glad you are safe, but why would you do that to me? I looked for you everywhere and ended up sleeping in my car outside," Zora said sounding unhappy."I am sorry, but something happened. Can you please come over to my place? I really need your help with something," Angela requested."Okay, fine, but you o
