CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

Nate's idea was completely off the wall, but was worth giving it a shot. His Dad was definitely going to go berserk if he ever found out about this, so everything has to be a secret. He just had to go along with this plan, or else end up losing the company. Everything to him felt like a game of life, and death, in which he must be the winner, or end up dying. 'Better dead, than losing', Nate always felt this was her boss's secret slogan, because he would rather drop dead, than let someone win over him. Carl's date was in an hour time, and as the time drew closer, he became more impatient, and anxious to get over it."How do I look?" He asked Nate, trying to get some sort of self appraisal."You look perfect" She gave him a guarded thumbs-up, despite the fact, she wasn't comfortable with the whole girlfriend idea, not to mention dating someone working under Mr. Williams' payroll, yet she silently prayed it works out, because the selection process was taking a toll on her.***Two hours

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO

The elevator chimed open at the lobby, my pulse quickening as I approached the sleek, black Ferrari. The driver stood at the passenger's door, opening it with courteous flourish. "Goodmorning ma'am" He curtsied. Ma'am? Did he just call me that? I bristled. "It's Miss Khloe, thank you," I replied, my words trailing behind me as I swept past him. My cool confidence masking the butterflies in my stomach.My eyes met the piercing gaze of the guy, whom I was going on an unofficial meeting with, and then the sudden realization that this was actually real, and he is my boss's brother, hit me! My jaw literally hit the floor, cos how could someone look this perfect! This guy was like a walking angel, with a face that could stop traffic, or perhaps cause one. I recognized him from the first day I arrived, when he was having a chat with Nate. I was frightened to stare at him then, and didn't get to see his face, but right now, staring at him up close was like a whole different ball game. I alw

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE

CARL'S P.O.V(POINT OF VIEW)I had no idea the new p.a was this daring. No one could turn me down, but she did. The moment she rose from the chair, and strode towards the door, exiting the Ice cream shop, I knew she was going to be a perfect fit. For the first time, someone confidently walked out on me! I love challenges because I always win, and she just became one, which I must win.As she strolled into the ice cream shop, heads snapped around in her direction. The dress she wore clung to her curves, emphasizing her graceful form with every step. She glowed with an ethereal radiance, captivating the attention of everyone in the room. As soon as I got home, I found myself pacing around the room, consumed with mixed emotions. I knew I had to find a girlfriend before the meeting with my dad, and time definitely wasn't on my side.I heard the doorbell ring, and asked the person to come in, without inquiring who it was. It was Mr. Stoner. He crept into the room like a shadow, as if he

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

"Mr. Carl, Doctor Bryan is downstairs." Nate's voice boomed over the phone. She couldn't go upstairs to deliver the message to Carl, because she was busy filling in for me. Daniel hasn't noticed my absence, since Nate made sure all the messages sent by him, got through her. I was quite lucky to have escaped Daniel's messages today, cos when I saw her, she looked like hell."I heard you turned him down" She titled her head towards my direction after dropping the call. After meeting Doctor Bryan downstairs, I was all shaken up, so I hurried to my room to calm down. Minutes later, I paid Nate a visit, with two things on my mind - Firstly, I wanted to find out who Doctor Bryan had actually come to see, and secondly, If my boss needed me while I was out. I was filled up with a mix of curiosity, and anxiety as I walked to her room."Did I?" I replied with a slow drawl, rolling my eyes with an air of faux innocence. She simply turned back to the paperwork on her desk, clearly not buying my c

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE

I got called by Nate to her boss's room. One minute, I was in my room, and the next minute, I am standing in front of this smug-looking guy."My boss wants to see you in his room right now" That was Nate at my door minutes ago. I had just come out from the lavatory, were I went to throw up. My eyes were so dizzy, that I could pass out at any moment. Her message sent a shiver down my spine, and I stopped breathing again. Honestly, I had no idea how I managed to drag myself to his room. The corners of his lips lifted into a sly, satisfied smirk. I tried to brace myself for the worse, because there is no way, he hasn't heard about my pregnancy. Now, what is he going to do about me? Have my head on a platter of gold? My hands were clasped together, while my eyes were fixed on his."Are you ready to take my offer?, Or you are ready to lose your job?" Who actually starts a conversation this way, without preambles? Can't this guy ever act like his talking to a human that has feelings, and d

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX

When I returned to my room after the brief meeting with Carl, I was greeted by the folders Nate had given me earlier. I hadn't started working on them yet. I trudged with heavy strides towards my work desk, wishing the day would end already. The demo papers made the work easier, as they were self-explanatory.I found Carl to be quite attractive. His looks were pleasing to me that I thought we could actually make cute babies together. I was busy daydreaming by my desk, and had to pinch myself several times. What was I even thinking? I already despise him so much. I was so caught up in my thoughts that I started comparing Carl's room to that of my boss. Carl's room was nothing like Daniel's. My boss's room was a smart room, while Carl's was just a luxurious bedroom. High-quality furniture filled the room, including a mahogany bed frame. A silk duvet laid on the bed, and I noticed the velvet curtains. The room was large, with high ceilings, and had a walk-in closet. A TV set like the o

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN

MEETING WITH MR. WILLIAMSI was overwhelmed by the speed at which everything was happening. First, my pregnancy, then I landed a job at the Bradfords' family, and now, I was about to meet the most influential person in the state, and I was ready to lie to him, right to his face. I was frozen in terror and almost backed out at the last minute.Nate came to me the night before, informing me about the stipulated time for the meeting. I could tell she wasn't in her best mood. Has she ever been in a good mood lately? She has always been grumpy ever since this whole contract started. I shouldn't even accustom blame to her, because If I were the one working for her boss, I would have committed suicide by now. Daniel was a problem on his own, with his annoying attitudes, while Carl was worse than a problem!Today, when Nate came to my room to glam me up for the meeting, she had a smile on her face, and looked quite relieved."Someone is smiling today." I teased her, and chuckled a bit."I alw

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT

CARL'S P.O.VWhen Doctor Bryan informed me about her pregnancy, an idea struck me. It felt like heaven decided to bless me. This was my chance to finally get what I wanted, as I would use her pregnancy against her. There was nothing special about this lady though, I was just tired of searching for the perfect match. During the meeting with my dad, a strange feeling overcame me, like a sudden attraction to her, something I have never felt before. I had no idea a woman could have so much calming effect on me by simply placing her palms on my lap. Every lady out there was always willing to throw themselves at my feet, but she, she didn't give a fuck about me. She was a force to be reckoned with, and strong-willed lady who obviously couldn't easily be tamed. Now, I became curious to know everything about her, and I wasn't going to stop until I find out the tiniest detail about her life.I was sure that my father would disapprove of our relationship if he knew that she was under his payro

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE

I was really shaken when Daniel held my arms that way. My body was still trembling from the whole drama, but the one thing I felt glad about was that he wouldn't need me for a while. I decided to use this free time to sneak away from the mansion and head to Aunt Kim's hospital for my first ante-natal appointment.I hailed a taxi on the busy street. The noise from the cars and buses, the blaring horns, the groups of people crossing, the feeling of being hemmed in by the traffic - it all made me feel lightheaded and weak. All I wanted was one day to myself. A few months ago, I was just a young girl, but now I felt so exhausted and alone, trying to navigate the world on my own. "Ma'am. We're here." I heard the driver call out to me. "Thank you," I replied, handing him a wad of notes. I got out from the taxi, and made my way to the hospital gate.I spotted my mum sitting in the waiting room. "Mum!" I cried, rushing over to give her a hug. "What are you doing here again?" I asked."Can't

CHAPTER THIRTY

I woke up in a room filled with sick people. I could smell the sickly-sweet stench of disinfectant and illness, and it made my stomach turn. My head was throbbing, and my vision, blur. I tried to get up from the bed but fell right back on the scratchy sheets. _Why am I even here?_ I tried to recall what happened earlier, but each time a fragment of my memory came back, my head ached badly. I could hear the rhythmic beeping of the machines, the footsteps of the nurses parading the room, voices down the hall, and then the slamming of the door."How does your head feel, good?" A nurse in a white uniform approached me. Her footsteps were so light on the floor, that I almost didn't hear the sound of her shoes on the tiled floor. She checked for my pulse, and asked questions, that I only nodded to. "I will give new sedatives. You will need to rest more." I suddenly had a rush of memories flooding my mind about everything that had transpired today. I remembered the long commute to the hospit
