Starting afresh

Though her accounts had been frozen, she didn't care much. Her mum had left her some money in a secret account that even her father didn't know about. She had left a letter with their lawyer and told the lawyer to deliver in private to her, and she was not supposed to tell anyone except her sister, Mercy. She could not continue staying with Amanda for long since her sister would be moving in with her soon.

In the few months that she had met George, they spent the most time together and learned a lot from him about life and his life.

George was the only child to Mr. and Mrs. Kiiru and the first son of the county since his father was a governor. She would never have imagined he was the governor's son since he was so down to earth and respected others around him, not a spoilt brat as I would have thought.

So many times, he has tried to ask her to be his girlfriend but still, she could not give him a chance. All those times when she turned him down, she could swear she saw the hurt in his face.

It's not like he could not make her happy, but she was too afraid to fall in too deep and be betrayed later.

Today she was going to look for an internship. She had a few companies she would be dropping her papers to and in the evening when was going out with George Kiiru. However, he didn't like being called Kiiru.

Before 11 am, she had dropped most of the papers at the respective companies. She had one more company to drop her papers and go home to relax. Walking down the pavement o the GR ENTERPRISE, she could only pray that the first call could be from them. The inside of the building was so unique and everyone friendly. This is the kind of lively environment anyone would want to work in all the days before retirement.

She walked to the receptionist and told her she was there to look for Mr. Kibe Ismail about the internship they had talked about over the phone. She was directed to an office ahead of her on the left. She walked confidently, knocked on the door, and waited to be invited in by the one inside.

'Come in" She had a deep male voice inviting her from inside

'Thank you for having me, sir," She said as she stepped inside the office

"Please sit down. It's nice to have you here, Stephanie Jackson' He said as he directed her to sit on the couch in the office.

"Well, pleasure is all mine. Mr. George Kiiru directed me here, saying this could be a better place for me to do my internship.

"Well, George is a nice guy and knows the best when he sees one and would not have recommended you to me if he was not confident with your skills."

'George is the -" before he could finish it, somebody budged in the office without even knocking first.

"Hey, Kibe-"

"George didn't know you were coming over today thought the classes were overwhelming for you. Kibe said as he walked toward his friend and hugged him.

"Just got back from class and thought I should come and see how business is doing.'

'Hello Steph"

"Hello, George. What are you doing here?"

"Well, do you remember I told you I had a company?"

"Yes?"

"Well, it's the GK ENTERPRISE.

 "Yes, I knew you loved it here and would like to experience the best."

"I wouldn't have agreed if I knew it. I want to experience life as it is without too much help, George, you know that."

"It's okay. There is nothing wrong with me helping out my friend though you are still rejecting my proposal. I love you, Steph, and I want the best for you."

'Let's not talk about that here."

"Okay. We still have our dinner tonight, but I would like you to come with me to my office and maybe give you a tour of the GR Enterprise."

"Alright. Nice to meet you, Kibe' Steph said, why standing on her feet.

'Pleasure was all mine. George talks about you all the time. You, apart from him being my boss, he is my best friend as well."

"Hope good things, though."

"Of course," Kibe answered.

George led her to his office and opened the door for Stephanie to enter. He closed the door behind and pointed for her to sit on the couch, and then he sat door with her.

"Now, this is my office, and when I am not in class or with you am always here.'

'It's quite a nice place you got here." You really are something, huh, you didn't tell me everything I had to know. I should be angry and throwing a tantrum, but I am surprised and still come and not angry, just a bit disappointed, though.

'Am sorry I didn't tell. I knew you would disagree. You are so proud, but I want you to be okay. Somewhere I can see you every day and know you are really fine. Steph, you know that I care about you so much that you are always on my mind. Life without you is becoming hard for me. I wish you could just give me a chance to be there for you. To love and cherish you. Please say yes to me. Be my girlfriend.'
