"You want to back out? You can't.""I will never be your assistant. You can keep your damn job and your filthy thirty thousand dollars." Eve maintained.Henry clapped for a few seconds and said "You don't get it. Don't you? You can't back out miss Bloom. It's too late to cry when the head is already cut off.""What are you saying?""I'm saying you can't back out now.""I took up the job and I've made the decision that I don't want it anymore," Eve stated. "You can't tell me what to do.""You have no choice," Henry replied calmly with a smile. He looked up to Dane. "Dane, you might want to explain the contract rights to her?""So she can pass out again? You guys should assume I'm invincible here." Dane replied after sitting. He crossed his legs."What do you mean by I have no choice?" Eve challenged.

"Damn it," Henry screamed and left his sitting position. He rushed to the shattered Eve and bent over."What are you doing?" Dane questioned him in a low tone. "Let her be!" he urged and signalled to Henry to get up from the floor.Henry ignored Dane's request and tried to console Eve. "Are you okay?" He then pulled out a handkerchief from his breast pocket and presented it to Eve.Eve was still crying uncontrollably. She was kneeling on the floor, her head lowered, trying to catch her breath. Dane was watching Henry in astonishment. He couldn't believe that his boss was kneeling beside the weeping Eve."Listen to me, Eve. You don't have to cry..." Henry was still speaking when Eve turned around and pushed him aggressively. He landed on the floor on his butt."Don't you dare touch me you son of a bitch!" Eve warned with teary eyes while pointing a finger at him.She busted into tears, grabbed her bag and sped out of Henry's office, crying loudly."Damn it!" Henry groaned and slappe

Eve alighted from the cab and Olivia pulled her into a hug."Come in" Olivia encouraged, leading Eve into her home."Have you been crying?" Olivia pointed out with her eyes fixed on Eve's face after they got in.Eve tried to hold back her tears but she couldn't. She broke down in front of Olivia. Olivia immersed Eve into a tight hug and hushed her while stroking her back tenderly."Tell me, Eve. What did he do to you?" Eve broke off the embrace. "He tricked me.""Tricked you?" You are killing me with suspense Eve. Tell me every damn thing." Olivia beckoned.Eve stopped crying and began to speak. "So he invited me to his office to sign the contract just like I told you on the phone earlier.""So did you sign it?"Even nodded in agreement. "Then how the hell did he trick you?" Olivia fired."So the contract papers I signed were manipulated. Henry told me that I was to serve as the General Manager's tech as

Eve left Olivia's apartment at noon. She returned home feeling different. She was feeling relaxed and confident. It was as if a wave of reinvigoration had enveloped her. She went ahead and told the women in the hate group about the contract she had just signed with Henry. However, she didn't let them know about the changes Henry effected.The next morning, Eve woke up and after a few workouts in her bedroom, she headed to the bathroom. Henry had already informed her that office hours were from 8 am to 4 pm but being the boss, he shows up at 9 am hence she should be at work before 9 am.After taking a shower, Eve stood in front of her wardrobe with a towel tied across her chest, her legs apart with two fingers on her jaw. She was finding it difficult to pick an outfit. She had concluded that she will go shopping once she returns from work that evening since she still had some money in her savings account. With the devious plan she and Olivia had earlier devised, Eve knew that her choi

Anthony nodded. " I'm sorry Eve. We started on the wrong foot......It surprises me that Henry hired a woman for the first time."Eve smiled. "Well, it is what it is.""Welcome to the company and congratulations for emerging as Mr. Richard's assistant," Anthony said while demanding a handshake."Thank you." Eve shook him with a warm smile. "And congratulations on your promotion.""So if you are ready? I can briefly tell you what your job is all about and show you around the place later.""That will be lovely.""You know what assistants do right? " began Anthony."I'm going to be honest with you. I don't know what this Job is all about but I'm a fast learner." Eve stated."It's okay if you've never been an assistant before but it's an easy yet difficult task as long as you know how the business works," Anthony replied.Eve sighed. How was she going to let Anthony know that she knows nothing about the business and this was some sort of contract. She wanted to yell to Anthony that she was

Eve began taking a few steps toward Henry. She could sense the uneasiness in his eyes. She smiled inwardly and settled on the chair."I love this office. I don't think there's so much change to be done here" Eve told Henry with her eyes rolling around the office."You love the office? I mean are you okay with everything?" Henry demanded. He sat on the sofa beside Eve and adjusted his collar.Eve caught Henry staring at the opening on her dress and she cleared her throat loudly forcing him to lift his head."Well, everything is covered. If you need anything, just go ahead and ask for it." "I know what to do Henry.""It's Sir." Henry corrected her with a firm stare.Eve nodded. "Yes sir.""After the incident yesterday, I wasn't expecting you to show up." Henry spat. Eve flipped her head and bent over, presenting her bossom to him "And what made you think I wouldn't show up?"He turned away. "Well, since you weren't cool with the contract rights, I thought that you won't come at all an

Before entering Henry's office, Eve noticed the way Stacy kept staring at her. She knocked slightly and went in after Henry gave the permission."You sent for me sir," she said immediately after walking in."My car broke down but luckily it broke down at the entrance just after I reached the office this morning."Eve wondered why Henry was talking to her about his car."I need you to get a mechanic and have it taken away because it's not supposed to be there," Henry said."Okay, sir.""You have an hour." "Noted." She left.Henry thought she might ask for the contact of his mechanic or seek direction on how to manage the car but instead, she disappeared. He grabbed his pen, fondled the tip and imagined how he was going to scold her once she returned with excuses.Immediately Eve walked out of Henry's office, she walked straight to Mrs Wayne's counter."Hi, Mrs Wayne. I need your help." "Yes, sure. How may I help you?" replied the cheerful Mrs Wayne?"I need you to connect me with a m

She gave him an eye roll. "Some ego?""Yes. A little ego." "My ego is not little, you know. It's quite big" Eve said and fixed her seat belt.Henry smiled. "I should have left you in the rain instead." He teased her."If you didn't persist, I would have still been there having my peace.""Having your peace? Under this rain?" Henry shook his head."Did you see the way you ran into the car when the showers became more intense?"Eve smiled and shook her head. She noticed that Henry was in a cheerful mood so she decided to probe him.She cleared her throat. "So every day you come to the office at 9 am and return at 4 pm?" she began."Well, it's not always that way. Sometimes I go home at night when I have a lot of work to do and on other days, I close early. Sometimes I go home before 2 pm so it all depends on the work at hand." Henry explained and took a sharp turn."Well, it's obvious you are a busy man. I guess the only time you get to spend with your kids is weekends." Eve said with

The next day, Eve walked into the office building and the first person she saw at the reception was Mrs Wayne."Good morning!" she greeted her smiling brightly."You are going to get these young workers fired one of these days," replied Mrs Wayne with a smile."You must be joking Mrs Wayne? What are you talking about?""I'm not joking Eve. You just keep looking hotter and hotter by the day" "It's so cold in here so I felt like turning the heat on," Eve said with a blink.They both laughed and Eve made her way to Henry's office.

Eve greeted her while waving a hand at her.Stacy cleared her throat and adjusted her spectacles. "Morning!"Eve stopped at her desk. "Can I get his schedule for the day?"Stacy brought out a sheet of paper and handed it to Eve. "Mr Richard is not in the office."Even smiled while glancing through the paper. "I know," she re

"You must be Eve Bloom right?" began one of the women. She was so white that Eve thought she was looking pale.Eve nodded. "Do I know you?" she demanded with uncertainty in her tone.The other woman giggled. She was about Eve's age and was smartly dressed. She had blonde hair."We work here."Eve nodded repeatedly. "I see!""So we heard you are Mr Richard's new assistant." said the blonde-haired after dropping her bag on the table."Well if you've heard it then it's true," Eve replied, wondering over the purpose of their visit."How did you get the job?" the other lady fired back.Eve threw back the menu card. "Excuse me, Is this some sort of interrogation or what?""Just tell us how you got the damn job.""Are you fucking kidding me? It's none of your business." Eve screamed. The people in the canteen began to turn around.The blonde-haired lowered her head and reduced her tone. "We are all women here and Eve or whatever you call yourself, we all know how you got the job."Eve shook
