“Urgggh, please, work and then fall in love with him too. I mean, you should be in a relationship right now don’t you think?” Bridget said, before opening the fridge to get a bottle of water.“Well, I’m not ready, when my man comes, I’ll get into a relationship with him then. For now, I need to work and pay for your tuition” Amie said.“Yeah right, thank you so much for always looking out for us but you should also look out for yourself, don’t you think” Bridget said out of concern for her big sister.“I will do that when I can finally relax, and that is when you graduate from school, so leave me let me face my work, while you make us proud” Amie said.“Excuse me girls I need to use the rest-room” Their mum said and then walked out of the kitchen.“Did Sam and Micah bring home the note we instructed them to bring?”Amie asked Bridget, lowering her voice.Yes and our suspision is right. It’s Christian’s handwriting on both papers. I’ve kept the notes on your reading table in your room”
“Wow, so you mean you’ve not been in any serious relationship after Beverly?” Anna asked.“Well no I haven’t. She left me shattered and since then I lost my hope in any form of relationship. Besides I do not believe in love anymore so I’d rather work my ass out than fall in love. But the thing is my mum wouldn’t let me hear the end of it. She keeps setting up blind dates for me with her friends daughters. I’m tired. I think I’d have to consider a contract marriage with the way things are going” Nelson said. “Wow. Tell me about it. My parents have also been on my neck to get married, but then my boyfriend and I ain’t ready to” Anna told Nelson.“Is it a must to get married? Because me I’m not even ready for that phase of life and I don’t think I’ll be ready in five years” Nelson said, picking up his glass of wine and taking a sip. “Come on. Love is not that bad. Fine it comes with it’s complications and difficulties but once you find the right person for you, things become very easy.
Amelia woke up as early as five o’clock to do her chores and cooking breakfast for her family before getting ready for work. As at six thirty-five, she was ready for work, dressed in a short wine skirt with a pink and white stripped crop shirt to go with it and black heels and a black bag to match. She packed her hair in a pony tail and wore a silver wrist watch on her left wrist and a silver bangle on the right, with a silver butterfly necklace and earrings to match. After dashing down the stairs and picking her key off the table, she kissed her mum who was outside wetting the flowers in the garden, goodbye, she walked to the bus station and got on the bus which took her into town and after alighting from the bus, she took a taxi to work. Getting to work at 7:15 she signed in with her identity card and made her way for the elevator which took her to the 20th floor where her office is. Reaching her desk she cleans the dust on both her chair and her desk before sitting down and say
“It’s time for the meeting sir, everyone is seated in the conference room waiting for you” Amelia said immediately she stepped into her boss’s office.“Alright, Let’s go” Nelson said, standing up from his chair walking out of his office with his personal assistant following right behind him. They took his private elevator, stopping on the floor that had the conference room.Upon entering the conference room he walked straight to his seat at the head of the table.“Thank you everyone for coming. Welcome Mr Peters. Thank you for choosing my company” Nelson said immediately he got seated in his chair.***********” Here is your coffee sir, do enjoy” Dee said to the man standing in front of her, handing him his coffee.It was already one thirty and it was already past Diana’s end of shift.

“Welcome Mr Nelson, your suit is ready. If you could please follow me, I’d lead you to the fitting room.” Miss Lily, the CEO of Lilies Fashion House said to Nelson immediately he walked in, beaming with smiles as she has always had a thing for him since she started designing his suits three years ago, but nothing has ever happened between them as it was obvious Nelson didn’t see her as a woman he’d like to be in a relationship with.“Alright, find an evening dress for my assistant too. I want something pretty classy and enticing as she’d be going with me to the business dinner on Friday” Nelson said as he was following her to the back room to avoid the paparazzi who are always on his tail.Immediately Nelson instructed Lily to find a perfect evening dress for his assistant, she shot Amelia a very mean stare as she was not happy that a common assistant would be following him to such a high class business dinner. Since she became his designer, she has been aware of the fact that Nelson
“So I’m sure that you’re aware that the stocks of my client’s company has dropped by 30% and this has affected the sales and the profit coming from the cars that we import and have your company deal with the sales” Mr Idris explained.“Yes I’m very aware of that fact, but what I don’t understand is how that is the business of my company and why your client would want to reduce the profit that comes into my company from yours. If I’m correct the fall of stocks is the fault and mistake of his public relations officer who compromised the import of the cars that were to come in a week ago. Am I right?”Nelson asked.“Yes that is correct, but then I gather that my client sent you a mail to ask if there was a way we could recover the stolen cars without having our clients know that the cars never came into the country but you blatantly told him that you had no funds to take that kind of risk, Am I right Mr Nelson” Idris asked.“Yes, you’re correct. My company can’t take the fall for a grave

As you already know, he’s looking for a big house that could fit into a family home with the best of furniture, and appliances. So tell us, what have you got?” Amelia said.“I’ve got a duplex of six bedrooms, a bungalow of four bedrooms, and a mansion of seven bedrooms, so it’s up to you sir, which of these would be the two properties you’re” Mr Michael said to Nelson and Amelia.“Well, you have to show us the pictures of these
Amelia was able to sleep longer than she has been able to since she started her new job on Monday, so this morning she woke up around past seven, did her house chores and prepared her brothers for school. After all these, she went into her bedroom to take her bath and that’s when she remembered that she had not called her friend at the station, Edna to report the stalking of her brothers by her ex so she picked up the phone and called her up to tell her her everything and after she had issued a report she ended the call and called her best friend Diana.“Hey Dee, how are you doing?” Amelia said immediately Diana picked the call. “Hey Amie, I’m good, how about you?” Dee answered.“ I’m good too, just really stressed out because of how hectic my work has been” Amie responded.“Yeah, I was about to ask how work has been going so far, so tell me about it” Dee said.“Well my work has been going on well, I’ve been up and doing as usual, but looks like it would take a lot to impress my b
