The rest of the onboarding session was very unpleasant. Kate who earlier was walking Ana through the training session, ensuring she understood everything, now did not care if Ana followed or not. "That will be all for today. I will see you tomorrow," Kate said, exiting the training room. It was half an hour past 4 p.m. Ana remained in the training room, unsure what to do next or where to go. Aiden was done and back in his office working on his laptop. Mr Harper was done with a work Aiden tasked him with and was now going around looking for Ana. He didn't ask anyone because he didn't want anyone to know he was looking for the new employee. After moving from department to department, he opened the training room door and found Ana. "Good evening, Ms Morrison, right?" Mr Harper greeted. "Yes," Ana responded, turning to look at the person who had spoken. "Are you done with your onboarding session for today?" Mr Harper asked. "I am not sure. Just waiting for what next," Ana replied u
"Why is he buying me so many gifts? First, he asked me to keep his credit card after giving it to me to buy clothes for the office. Now a phone and a laptop," Ana thought."Wow, new laptop," Alice commented entering Ana's room."Wow and a new phone?" Alice said moving to the bed and picking up the phone. "Gift from Mr Scott?" she asked."No, working tools from work," Ana replied, as she didn't want to tell Alice about Aiden buying her stuff yet. Ana didn't want Alice to get the wrong impression about the relationship between her and Aiden. Aiden is married. "Wow," Alice said looking at the phone. "So what is your boss like?" she asked sitting on the bed and holding Ana's new phone in hand."He is, he is okay," Ana replied and placed the laptop on the table.Ana had told Alice about the job offer from a company in which Aiden asked her if she was interested but as she didn't know she was going to work with Aiden, that was something she didn't tell Alice. "It must be fun to work in t
"Now, the employee you all said was not qualified to be my PA, prepared this," Aiden said and there was pin-dropped silence in the room. "Now tell me, college or no college, is she or is she not qualified for the position offered her?" he asked. "If she prepared the proposal, I think she is qualified to occupy the position," the finance manager replied. "The PA I chose will be working with me. Same way I interviewed every one of you here to work with me. I gave you a chance without judging you. I expect you to do the same. What matters most is not the certificate but the knowledge and skills the individual possessed which is useful to the business," Aiden said and all the managers went silent. "We have enrolled employees on the six-month programme to sharpen their skills and also get them certificates for the paperwork. So why the sudden judgemental attitude?" he asked. "Apologies, sir," said the finance manager and one after the other the managers present apologized including Mr Ha
Aiden put his pen drive into his laptop to get the presentation but realized it was nowhere to be found in his email or desktop. He frowned and checked all possible places where he kept such important documents and it was not there. When he was looking for the file, the company presenting exited the stage and A&M Constructions were called to do their presentation to the panel. "A&M Constructions?" their name was mentioned again. "Mr Harper, forward the email to me," Aiden said. "I didn't bring my laptop along," Mr Harper replied. "Okay, if A&M Constructions are not present, I will call..." the person began and Ana stood up. "Present," Ana said and Aiden looked at her. Aiden got up and was going to request their slot be moved to the end so he could use the period to get the file from his back up but Ana moved to the stage before Aiden could stop her. "What is she doing?" Mr Harper asked. "Let's see," Aiden said. "I will need a board," Ana said and everyone was surprised she w
"I will make sure, my company gets the contract and not Aiden's," Amanda thought staring at the image of Ana, the amazing presenter on the TV sipping some tea. She fetched her phone, dialled a number and spoke with the person. Once the call ended, she called Marcus and asked him to get the car ready. She went upstairs to her room and changed her clothes into something sexy and a bit revealing. After admiring herself in the mirror, she came downstairs and went out the front door. Marcus saw her and smiled. "You look amazing, ma'am," Marcus praised. "Thank you," Amanda replied and informed Marcus of where they were going. The smile vanished from Marcus's face. "Why do you want me to take you there? It is like asking me to take my meat to the cat," Marcus said. "Did you just call me a meat?" Amanda asked, looking at Marcus in the rearview mirror. "No, ma'am. It was just figurative," Marcus replied unhappily."I pay you for your services. So you don't call the shot. It is my body an
Back in Mr Smith's office, he was lying in bed with Amanda in his restroom. Amanda stared at him smiling. "It is done. Your company gets the contract. Now I just need to put something together as evidence," Mr Smith said putting his clothes back on. "Now that is nice," Amanda said and got out of bed searching for her undies. She found them lying at the foot of the bed. She bent over to pick them up and Mr Smith turned to look at her. He froze staring at her back. Amanda smiled and sat on her pants and her bra. "You have such an amazing body," Mr Smith admired. "Why don't you want to marry me?" he asked. "I wanted someone different," Amanda replied trying to close her bra strap. Mr Smith got closer and helped her close it. He ran his fingers down her shoulder and spun her around to face him planting a kiss on her forehead. "And you feel Mr Scott is different?' Mr Smith said. "Wait you wanted ice-cold?" he asked. "No, not that. Aiden is a people man. I like the stare in his e
"After a lot of deliberation and doing our checks, we have decided on who to award the railway project. We award the contract to A&M Construction," the man said. "What the hell!" Amanda yelled.Aiden was standing in the living room fixing his cufflinks wearing a black suit with a white. He heard the news and the side of his lips curled upwards."What did you do to get the contract?" Amanda asked Aiden when she turned and saw him."What do you mean?" Aiden asked. "Who did you pay to get the contract?" Amanda asked through gritted teeth. "Is that what you did?" Aiden asked and walked towards his office."I am not going to accept this," Amanda said and out of anger, he dialled Mr Smith's number. "What the hell happened?" Amanda asked as soon as Mr Smith answered."Calm down Ms Thatcher. What are you talking about?" Mr Smith asked unaware the company who won the contract had been announced."How did I lose the contract?" Amanda asked forgetting she was not alone. "You have not lost t
Mr Harper's face expressed disappointment which Aiden saw but it vanished as quickly as it appeared as Mr Harper headed back to the rooftop. "Lewis, come to the reception," Aiden said and watched Ana feeling restless in the chair. "On second thought, no need," he said and ended the call. Aiden walked towards Ana and touched her forehead. She kept crossing her legs. Aiden frowned immediately realizing what was happening to her. "Help me, please," Ana whispered and tugged at Aiden's trousers. Aiden held Ana's hand as she was making him feel uncomfortable. He removed his jacket and wrapped it around her before carrying her. He wanted to stop her from touching him. He walked towards the exit and to his car. Lewis saw Aiden coming and he opened the back seat door for him. Aiden sat in the back seat holding Ana, preventing her from moving. "We are going home," Aiden said. "No. Let's go to the nearest guest house," he said and Lewis started the car engine and drove out of the company's c
