Meeting Angelina

"Alright, I'll get you a glass of wine now." He said standing up. He called Mrs. Dee to get them a bottle of wine and glasses."So, tell me more about yourself Greg." She continued once Mrs. Dee left "What do you want to know?""Anything you think you can share with me." She replied."I'm Gregory Johnson." He started. "There isn't much about me. I got married at twenty nine to my high school sweetheart. We were actually pregnant and of course in love with each other. So we went ahead to have a simple wedding. I'd started Brass Enterprise a year and a few months before the wedding. We had our son seven years after our daughter." He handed Rosie a family portrait. "That is my family." He said.She stared at the mini portrait and smiled. If there was a word far better than 'perfect', she would have used it to describe the adorable portrait she was holding."What about you Rosie?" Tell me about yourself.""Ah!" She exclaimed. "I knew that was coming." She laughed."I'll just give a summa

Getting Acquainted To Gregory

"Oh, I'm sorry Roseline. I'll just head upstairs now. I'll see you later, Roseline." She said and took to the stairs after making Rosie promise that she'd inform her before taking her leave. "Your daughter," Rosie whispered. "She's so accommodating. I thought for a split second that she was going to be mean. You know, we... I..." "Because I was giving you a foot rub?" He cut in. "Yes." "Angie doesn't interfere with my personal life and I don't go about rubbing everybody's feet." He said, looking directly at her. "Why did you rub mine then?" "You didn't enjoy it? Swear you didn't." She started laughing. "Well, I did. It was awkward at first, but the benefits and the soothing sensation outweighed the former." She said truthfully. "And that reminds me, thank you once again for the lovely clothes you sent to me earlier." "You've thanked me before." "On the phone. Not physically." She insisted. "Alright, I take it that you like them?" He asked again, sitting up. "

TO MY ANGEL

Rosie looked down at her fingers after baring her mind. "Rosie, look at me," Gregory called. She turned to face him. "Is that really what you're scared of?" She shook her head. "Do you want to tell me why you want to run then? I want to understand." He stood up and grabbed her hands, bringing them to his lips; he kissed her fingers. "Make me understand Rosie, what do you want to run away?" Rosie shut her eyes, willing to numb what she was feeling at that moment. A full course of attraction rushed through her. Scared of what she was feeling, she looked down again, to prevent her eyes from betraying her. She could have avoided all of this by maintaining a safe distance. But even that itself would have turned into a very tough task overtime. There was this feeling of warmth and peace she felt, being around him which would have been a huge obstacle to her. "Greg," she called, struggling to look him in the eye. "I'm not trying to run away. I told you, I don't want to mess thing

An Angel

Rosie imagined what being in a relationship with Gregory would look like. The attention, the love, the fondness, the affection! He'd kill her with doses of them all. She knows this much, but there is a problem; "How the hell is she going to introduce him to the world as the love of her life." People were going to say lots of awful things to her. Lots of unprintable names would fly around her. A gold digger is on top of the list before numerous others. She sighed and shifted the whole thought aside before diving into her food. Finally, when it was time to go home. Rosie rushed to pack her bag. Just when she was about to leave the office, the office phone rang. "Bernard Bruce's office, Roseline Bainer speaking." She said. "Miss Bainer." Bernard's voice sounded. "I'd like to talk to you. My office, now." Bernard said to the receiver. He hung up almost immediately. Rosie sulked and started toward his office. "Good

Back At Brass

With the looming business dinner, work at the office took a turn for the worst. Rosie had been working with her Boss on a few extra features they planned on adding to a banking App they were working on. Some of the features were meant to allow their customers to apply for loans from third-party brokers, with Global Link being one of the companies that will be placed as one of the partner loan agencies. With the loan interest pitched at ten percent of the total loan cost. Thereby creating enough money for both Global Link and the Bank. And the customers would have access to these loans without visiting the bank physically. Customers were meant to be able to book their flights directly from their banking app, pay their hotel bills in advance, and book their holiday getaways/resorts before their arrival. Of course, as the middleman, the bank will impose a very minute charge on each of the transactions. Generating extra money for the bank. It was

Fester App

"You'll see." Came the reply from Gregory.The doorknob twisted gently; Maxwell turned toward the door, waiting. Rosie opened the door and graciously walked in with a smile."Rosie!" Gregory exclaimed, standing up while Maxwell remained staring."Greg!" She called happily and went ahead to hug him. Both held each other in an embrace for a while, finding it hard to let go immediately."I've missed you." She whispered close to his ears."I've missed you even more darling." He replied. Maxwell cleared his throat, reminding them of his presence. That prompted them to release each other and Rosie shyly stepped behind Greg."Max, meet..." He stuttered. "Meet Roseline." He finally said. "Rosie, my friend, Maxwell." He pointed to Max."It's so nice to finally meet you, Roseline," Maxwell said, standing up with an outstretched hand, waiting for a handshake, a smile plastered across his face. Rosie received his hands returning the smile."It's a pleasure m

Winning Gregory Over

"The paid version can have Basic and Standard plans or even more with varying prices. The bookkeeping aspect should still be there, and it should remain free. The paid version should have bigger features like follow-up plans offered to its users by the company, exclusive updates, or notifications on loans available to business owners; they can assign a business assistant to each paid subscriber. Offer free courses on basic stuff you can easily get on G****e. Host an online conference once in a while. Offer annual and bi-annual discounts on subscriptions, a few days free trial, back-to-back business tips, and a whole lot more. I can't say everything at the spot but there are lots of things they can incorporate to make customers see more value and reason to become paid subscribers." She concluded. "Wow, Rosie," he called looking stunned. "You are one of a kind. You are so smart. This is the most brilliant contribution we've gotten for Fester so far. Even Maxwell will be thrilled. You'r

A Business Meeting

The rest of the week zoomed off with great speed and soon, it was weekend. As usual, Rosie visited home. She was seated comfortably on the sofa, laughing loudly on the phone with Gregory, when her mother, who was getting ready for an event, stepped in. "I'll call you back Greg." She told him and hung up. "Who do you always talk to on the phone? You spend most of your weekends on that phone. And once you see me walk in, you end the call. Are you dating a secret service agent?" "Secret what.." She laughed. "Come on Mrs. Bainer, there's nothing like that. I was speaking to a friend Ma." "Owen?" She asked. "Hell no! Owen and I are over. We're done." She replied. "Hmmm. Keep hiding this new man that you call your friend, I'll meet him someday." "I'm not hiding anybody, Mommy." She stated. "If you say so. I'm off to Aunt Bella's party. Ensure you get ready early and dress appropriately too for your

Evelyn Bainer

"You are amazing. Your confidence is second to none. I'm impressed Miss Bainer. funny as it may seem, I once had a friend that bears Bainer. I'd always thought the name was strange but seeing someone else with the name, I guess it's safe to say that it's a common name now." He said. "Miss Bainer, I heard everything you said. You and your Boss should get to work. Let's see how much time it will take to achieve this, and Bernard, I'll speak to Mr. Dennis tomorrow. I'll need to see both of you by Monday. After that, we'll call for a board meeting to deliberate on this. Remember to notify Brass once the board meeting is concluded on a positive note. Let's get it moving. We need fast and very neat work." He said, casting his gaze from Rosie to Bernard and finally settling on Rosie. "Are we all together on this?" "Sure," Bernard replied. "Yes sir," Rosie added. "Let's order food then!" He said signaling to the waiter who took all their or

Gold In It's Raw Form

The following morning came with renewed strength for Rosie. She awoke to a beautiful text from Gregory, who was worried sick about her since she hadn't picked up his calls the previous night. She immediately placed a call to him, and they talked at length. A knock came on the door just as she dropped the call. "Come in." She called. Annie peeped into her room before shoving the rest of her body in. "I was checking to be sure it is safe to come in." She grinned "Can I sit?" "Please sit down!" Rosie snarled. "I thought Gregory sent a car over to pick you up yesterday." She started. "He wanted to, but I told him not to worry. How was your day yesterday? Was Raymond able to make it down to see you when I left?" Annie nodded. "He did, but briefly. He got a call from his father. Something about an investment in an app or so. I'm not so good at listening nor understanding his business jargon." "Well, my siste
