YOU MUST BE MINE 27. My boss asked me to give this to you.
"How are you miss Stacy, I heard what happened, hope you are well," The clerk questioned relentlessly." Yes I am thank you, who are those men outside," Stacy asked her while staring at them and back at her." Mr. Owen's bodyguards, he is having a meeting with miss Kloe at the moment-"And the police car?" Stacy interjected."I have no idea miss Stacy but Kloe does, to be honest, she has been unhappy since she got here today, strange things have been happening and I'm not sure what to believe anymore, the officers had gone upstairs, and asked me to leave, hopefully, nothing terrible happens to drag the company's name in the mud," The clerk spoke with worried written all over her face."You said she is speaking to Mr. Owen right now, this means she may be finalizing the deal, we have to tell her to come on," Mrs. Dwyane exclaimed while walking towards the elevator hurriedly."Mom please stop, we can't just barge into her office and feed her with this information, we have to slow down m
YOU MUST BE MINE 28. Thank you
She stared at the card and it happens to be a business card from whoever that man's boss was. She kept watching as the car drove off and by its luxury, she could tell that whoever his boss was, is rich.She walked back into the building and sat on a sofa present in the lobby, she threw herself down and she sighed heavily, the clerk couldn't say a word to her as she is still in shock of the events that had taken place.She kept staring at the name written boldly on the card, Mr. Maxwell B. Charleston. She started to wonder who he was and why did he suddenly want to speak to me?She wanted to make the call immediately as the guy has said, so she stood up and walked to the cafeteria where she requested a glass of fruit juice.She sat alone as there was no one else in the cafeteria since everyone is busy at work, and most of them were not aware of the incident that took place.She saved the phone number on her phone and took a deep breath before clicking the call icon, the person she call

" The contract would be terminated, they should go after Owen now not us, besides if they wanted these contract documents so badly why can't they meet up with us to talk about it, why take it by force or try to attack us, kill lots of people because of it, somehow I still believe that Owen has nothing to do with this document attacks, someone else does," Kloe tried to buttress her point." Kloe you are still a young child in the ways of business, I wouldn't say much to you, at least you plan to terminate the contract which is a good thing, right now I'm going to rest," Mr. Dwayne concluded while standing up. He left both ladies alone in the living room to join his wife, the day was hectic so there was no better way to get over it than a good evening rest.Once he was gone, Kloe turned to Stacy and asked."So how are you feeling, any effects from last night?" "Honestly, I am seeing things, it's very scary but I would get over it, that reminds me, I'll need to shift my appointment with
YOU MUST BE MINE 30. Miss Kloe, I suppose?
"Sir, Karen is coming over tonight, you said I should remind you, she would be here by seven p.m," A tall man dressed in a blue cooperate shirt and black pants spoke to his boss. "Oh no!" His boss exclaimed."I would not be around when she comes here," he said."Okay sir, why do you think I should do, should I tell her that you won't be home so she could come tomorrow, or should I let her come over and inform her that you went to see a client and would be back late, I'm sure she wouldn't mind," Rowan explained to his boss who had a worried expression on his face."You know how women are, don't you? She would ask lots of questions and if she finds out that I went out to a lady, she would think otherwise," Max said while putting on his shoes." Sir, I will try my best to keep her from knowing, the best option is to let her come over, I'll tell her you went to see a client and would be back a bit late if you make it by eight p.m, she wouldn't feel like something is being hidden from her
YOU MUST BE MINE 31. The caller was "Karen"
It was strange to Kloe that he asked that question, would he have taken her into the executive chamber without knowing that she was Kloe? Or was he trying to start a conversation?"Yes I am Kloe, thank you for this treatment Mr. Max, I mean Max," she corrected herself immediately." You are welcome Kloe, this is where I meet all my clients, so it was only right that I do the same for you, so how are you?" He asked her." I am fine-"You know that I can see some bruises on your face right? Even though you tried to hide it with my makeup it's still a bit visible, care to tell me what happened?" He asked." Oh about that," Kloe tried to explain even though she was a bit embarrassed by the fact that her makeup didn't hide the bruises as she planned."I had an accident at work that caused me to scratch my face against the wall yesterday, it has been treated though so I am good."" I am sorry to hear that, where do you work?" He asked her.It was amusing that not many people knew about Kloe
YOU MUST BE MINE 32. I'm tired
He sighed heavily and contemplated whether or not to pick up the call in front of Kloe. Knowing that neglecting the call may lead to unforeseen circumstances he decided to pick up."Hello Karen," he greeted her with a cheerful voice."I am in the car right now, I'll be home shortly,""I went to see a client, I'll be home shortly," he slightly raised his voice." Is there anything wrong with me going to meet up with a client? And like I said I'm in the car we will talk about this when I get home," he hung up the phone immediately." Your wife? You should go and meet her before she gets even angrier, trust me we ladies have a bad case of jealousy," Kloe spoke to him and waited for a response.The thought that he has a wife ran across her heart and broke them, but his response revived her hopes once more."She is not my wife, that is my aunty, Karen, always worried whenever I am out late, I mean does she think that I am still a little boy who needs supervision? "Max's little white lie re

"Tired? Why are you so tired? I waited for you for half an hour and you came back to tell me you are tired. What is going on Max, let me know if you are seeing someone else, it's that simple so we can stop fooling ourselves, neither of us is a kid anymore Max!" Karen's voice roared like a lion announcing its presence from a mile away."Is it an offense to be tired Karen?" Max asked her with a simple tone that exhibited a bit of offense."It is not an offense until a time like this, I came for you tonight, you know that I come to see you every Friday night, I reminded you this morning that I would be here and you even blew me kisses from the phone, and now you are too tired to even spend time with me," she ranted." I don't think I said that to you Karen, I only said that I am tired, I never said that I didn't want to spend time with you because I am tired, stop mixing things up!" This time Max raised his voice a bit which surprised Karen because he never did."You yelled at me Max," K
YOU MUST BE MINE 34. Thank you Kloe
She picked up the call without hesitation, she already suspected the reason why Stacy called and that was to ask how her surprise date was."It went well," she said and went ahead to explain the sequence of events to her."I believe you have just gotten yourself a new darling," Stacy sounded excited." Let's not be too hasty, he could be another Henry in disguise, men are unpredictable you know?"" Haha, you are right, so has he asked you to be his girlfriend yet?" Stacy inquired." Girl! We only went out last night, what were you expecting? A wedding the next day? When are you going to bring home a man of your choice, let's forget about me now," Kloe laughed while playing with her bedsheet." That is not important to me now, anyways I wanted to invite you over later today by five pm, I wanted to tell you when you get to work but it seems you wouldn't be coming today, I'm hosting a party for my brother's girlfriend." " Oh wow, that is nice, I will be there, and I will be at work soon

"Karen Simone," Kloe whispered and quickly hung up the call, she didn't know why but it was probably a reflex action based on how she was feeling at the moment. "Are you okay Kloe? You seem lost for a second," Stacy's voice called her attention, she stepped out of the conference room to get something only to see Kloe holding onto the phone with a depressed expression. " Guess who just called me? "Kloe asked her. " Who, I can't think of anyone that will call you to make you look like this, did something bad happen? " Her face became worried as she answered. " Do you remember Karen? The one I told you about, from my campus days? " " The one that made your life a living hell on campus, which contributes to the reason for your success today? Then yes I remember her," " Hold on? " Stacy paused as if just remembered something. " Was she the one who called you?" She inquired and Kloe nodded affirmatively. Stacy was shocked, she found it hard to believe but not as much as Kloe herse

/ Flashback/"Mam please, I did no such thing, I can't steal from you no matter what my situation is, please ma, this is all a lie, there is no way I did it, please don't fire me, I need this job I beg you," a young lady cried, pleading with tears in her eyes.This young lady was Kloe in her late teens when she worked at a clothing store just outside the campus.She was reported to her employer by one of her colleagues, claiming that she had stolen over a hundred dollars from the business, and since the accountant reported the money to be missing, with Kloe being one of the few workers who could access the store's safe, it was believable.A colleague who reported her was none other than Karen Simone, one of her mates in the university, a coworker, and also one of the newest staff in the clothing store having been hired only three weeks ago.Even before they began working together, Kloe and Karen were never on good terms, the reason being that Karen's ex-boyfriend broke up with her to

"Yes hello Rowan," she responded, giving him a warning stare. Rowan was tense as he looked at her, unable to stand it much longer he walked away, up the stairs towards Max's room."Hello, mam?" The Manager's voice brought her back to remembrance."Yes Mr manager, what do you think of my offer, you have thirty seconds to make your choice, the name or lose your job, you can tell me how much you want and I'll send that soon" I do not want your money mam, " he interjected, " I just don't want my name involved in this," he added in a tone of fear." Fine by me, so you agree then, I'm expecting that phone number soon,"The next Monday, Kloe had gone to work earlier. She was excited to give the news about their participation in the Paris Icon to her team.She had called Mr. Coleman to complain about his application without her consent to which he claimed not to have been aware.He said that only a few companies who applied got nominated, but their team selected a few prestigious fashion br
YOU MUST BE MINE 51. I want her name, address and phone number
"Who is she?" This was the first statement Max heard as soon as he entered his house, Karen was seated on the sofa, her face steaming with annoyance."Who are you talking about?" Max asked her, he was puzzled by the question even though he knew that Karen referred to Kloe, but he didn't know how she found out."Don't act foolish Max, you know who I am talking about, you were at Serene Lux hotel with her a few hours ago, and you don't need to ask me how I knew, look at this," she took out her phone and showed him a picture that caused his jaws to drop.It was a picture of him and Kloe as they got out of the car at Serene Lux Hotel, a friend of hers had taken the picture when she saw them at the hotel and sent it to her immediately.In the picture, he held hands with Kloe, although the camera did not capture Kloe's face because her back was turned away from the camera, Max's face was clear."That… " Let me guess," Karen interjected," A client? I never knew you hold your clients so pas
YOU MUST BE MINE 50. I would stop at nothing until Kloe is mine
"Thank you for everything Max, and I promise, I'll get back to you, I just need to settle down with myself, I hope you understand," Kloe said to him wrapping her hand around him in a tight embrace.Max hugged her passionately, he had never felt more comfortable in the hands of a woman than he did with Kloe, she was someone he always loved to be around, but he was bummed when she declined his request to kiss her lips.He was embarrassed even remembering it but he was not aware of what came over him.As they walked out of the building, all eyes glared at them as always until they were seated inside the car.It was 5 pm when he dropped Kloe off at her house before leaving after giving her a broad and genuine smile.Once she had gone inside, Max rolled up the window and asked Rowan,"How do I get rid of Karen without being affected by my father's deal with her?""Sir I must be honest with you," Rowan retorted."That impossible," he added with a frown on his face. He was also unhappy that
YOU MUST BE MINE 49. I want to kiss you, is that weird?
He took her hand and guided her towards the entrance, while Kloe tried to remain calm without thinking about anything stupid. She kept a smile on her face and responded to every greeting she received.Even though she was not extravagantly dressed, her beauty alone was an eye-catcher for most of the men in the building, even the women too stared at her, some with envious eyes and some without."Mr. Ben," the manager approached him."Yes, hello," Max greeted with a straight face."Please follow me this way sir, everything is ready like you requested," said the manager."I certainly hope that it is," Max retorted with closed teeth.They were led towards an exclusive elevator, reserved for people like Max, the elevator was luxurious, you don't even stand because there was a comfortable sofa inside where they sat, a cut of tea on a center table, a television for entertainment, and an air conditioner, getting rid of even the slightest moist inside the elevator.The elevator ride was short-l
YOU MUST BE MINE 48. I can't love her anymore
"I can't love her anymore," he thought to himself while sitting next to her in the back seat."She'll think that I am taking advantage of her because I saved her, God why does this have to happen, why wasn't she just a random lady that I met outside? I'll have to take it very slowly if I am going to get her to love me because for now, I think she is just very empathetic, but then there is my father's deal with Karen, I hate my life,""Damm, she's beautiful," he stared at her, being a man who had always been interested in a woman's physique and physiognomy, he found Kloe all-round attractive. His eyes trailed down her neck and he bit hard in his lips."Control yourself, idiot!" He yelled at his thoughts, he had never felt so attracted to a woman's body like he did at the moment.He refrained from looking down at her cleavages, knowing how weird his thoughts could get."You are quiet today," Kloe broke the silence between them, she had noticed how he stared at her but pretended not to.
YOU MUST BE MINE 47.I don't want to save you again
Indeed, even a hundred billion dollars was nothing to Max, he could make that amount of money with a single phone call, but Rowan had helped him to not be extravagant in spending as his father had instructed.Max's father was wealthy but wasn't extravagant, he didn't just spend money on whatever he wanted to and that had helped maintain his financial status, he believed that if Max could control how much he spent then he had gotten himself a perfect son to take over his company.While Rowan made the call, the manager reported that the place had already been lodged and that he couldn't send the occupants away, the current occupants had paid over seven hundred thousand dollars to stay there for the day.Rowan didn't know how to report this news to Max, but he had to anyway since there was nothing he could do."What does he mean by that? Serene Lux has three apartments, I want just one there is no way all three are lodged," Max thundered as soon as he heard it."Yes sir, all three of the

"Excuse me?" Kloe called upon one of the bartenders as soon as she entered the place, luckily she didn't meet the same lady she met two nights ago, requesting her reservation card. "Hello mam, welcome, can I help you with something?" The bartender inquired politely."Yes, table twelve please, I need to see someone immediately," she said."Okay, follow me," the bartender uttered and took the lead.Kloe could feel her heartbeat rising as she followed him, she kept staring at people seated inside hoping to Max, but she didn't."Here mam, table twelve," The bartender announced whilst pulling out the chair for her to seat."He's not here yet, thank God I'm not so late," she assured herself and took a sit."Can I get you something to drink?" The bartender offered with a smile." Yes, a bottle of red wine please," she answered. She was still nervous, she hasn't met him yet and this worsened her surge of anticipation."Alright, I will be right back," the bartender walked away immediately to
