Chapter 21: Brother's advice

Temisa doesn't turn to face her brother either, as she has always known he will blame her first."Here's your food, and please eat it. We love you and want the best for you, okay? Goodnight," Martin says to her. He walks out of her room, closing the door, and Temisa walks over to open the food to check it.Seeing it is another meal, not the one she half-chopped, she grits her teeth and decides to eat it first as she is very hungry.She carries the food, walks back to her bed, sits on it, and starts eating.Martin walks out of Temisa's room and meets Felicia, still standing behind the door."You're still here?" Martin asks her, and Felicia doesn't look up at his face as she responds, "I just want to be sure she's alright."Martin takes a closer step towards Felicia while she shifts backward, wanting to keep a distance between them, and she collides with the wall behind her. This makes Martin smile, and he walks away, going back to his room."She's fine, Felicia; go to your room and slee

Joel asks the security guard."Your name, ma'am?" the security guard throws the question to Anita, who was previously staring around."Anita Baker," Anita replies."Oh! And you're?" Joel asks, feeling a bit familiar with her name."May I come in?" Anita asks him."Of course, come in." Joel offers her a faint smile as he finally settles down in his seat and gestures to her,

Chapter 24: Liam's shock #

Time for lunch. Anita hears the company's alarm buzzer go off, and she stares at Margret, who has been busy doing all the work alone without requesting her help."Sorry, but what's that sound about?" Anita asks Margret as she sees a few staff and other male workers on the third floor coming out of their glass offices and walking to the elevator.Margret ignores her as if she didn't hear her speak."Hello?" Anita asks again with a slight frown."Can't you see I'm busy?!" Margret replies coldly, and Anita shakes her head and looks downward.Margret finally murmurs and stands up to go out and eat, as she's very hungry, without giving Anita any response.Anita sighs after Margret leaves her, and she continues to sit even as most of the staff on the third floor exit, heading to the elevator that takes them down. Anita wonders if this is probably their break time, and just then Joel walks up to her."Hi, pretty," Joel says as he pushes the office door open and peeks in."Aren't you going do

Anita is speechless as the office call ends. She heard the CEO's previous order to instruct Margret to get him fried rice and a drink from the cafeteria. And hearing the buzzer sound again, she knows lunchtime will soon be over.Anita stands up from her seat quickly, and walks out of the open glass office that she shares with Margret, feeling all the prying eyes on the third floor on her body. They scanned her as she swiftly makes her way to the elevator.As Anita's about to enter the elevator, she collides with Joel, who's returning to the third floor."Oh, sorry," Anita apologizes to Joel, but he smiles at her and caught her wrist."Going somewhere?" he asks, and Anita steps aside and out of the elevator as more staff working on the third floor were arriving and making their way out of the elevator, too."Yes, where's the cafeteria?" Anita asks him in response, and he replies, "Second floor beneath. Ask the guards once you get there. I thought you said you came with your lunch." Joel

Chapter 26: Jealous secretary 3

Anita smiled sweetly as she quickly made her way toward the boss's office, and Margaret's brows furrowed as she watched her step into the only corridor leading to the boss's office.Margaret wanted to stand up and call Anita back or question her ("Where does she think she's going?") but she couldn't create a scene, or leave their client pending to scold a staff member like her.Margret breathed heavily as she stared back at Miss Oyinda, who stared at her."Um, I am sorry. But who's that pretty young woman I just saw? Sorry if I'm interfering; does she work here?" Oyinda asked, as she felt uncomfortable after seeing any pretty woman, too."Yes, she's my assistant," Margaret managed to reply to Oyinday, as she forced her response out."Your assistant?" Oyinda's eyes widened in surprise. "How can you people allow such a beauty to work here?" Oyinda didn't realize the question would slip out of her mouth.Certainly, in her father's company, she only had men working for her, and their compa

Chapter 27: Hectic day

Anita let out a sigh of relief as she watched the boss leave the third floor and step into the elevator that took him downstairs.Her day had been hectic, from the delay at the entrance to Joel informing her that they had actually employed all the reputable staff needed, and that she was to manage the position of assistant secretary of the boss. To the humiliating secretary she had to work with, who was visibly jealous of her, like her own sisters.Anita wondered if it was now a crime for a lady to be beautiful or fair-skinned like her.She wasn't just fair-skinned like the regular fair-looking ladies; she was actually white and sparkling bright, almost like an albino, but she wasn't one.Anita shook her head as she ate her jollof rice. She closed her flask and packed it into her handbag.Since Margaret didn't want to show her what to do, Anita stood up and walked out of the office towards Joel's office to see him.She noticed that whenever she stepped out, the rest of the staff workin

Chapter 29: Discussing with her friend

"Oh, that's his name; I don't even know his name, but I saw him today too," Anita responded."Really, what does he look like? I was hoping to see him when we closed, but before I stepped out, his father said he had already gone back home," Temisa replied."Yeah, I saw him with one elderly man at the driveway, at the restricted driveway at the back. Was that his father? The man looks short, and I never suspected him to be his father," Anita replied."Yes, he's short; how about the CEO? Is he tall?" Temisa asked in panic."Yeah, although I don't really know. At first, I saw him sitting, and he sent me to ask his secretary to buy him lunch, but his secretary hates me and doesn't even want to show me what to do today in the office. I'm really stressed and don't know if I will go to work there tomorrow," Anita replied sadly."Why? Don't mind that stupid secretary; she might just be jealous because you're cuter than her. You know you're very pretty, so maybe she's only jealous. Why not repor
