A Run-in

I gulp down an entire glass of juice without stopping to take a breath. It’s my third glass by the way and when I’m done, I find myself gasping for air.For real, how can I not recognize my one-night-stand partner????“Chris has been living abroad for several years. He recently came back to take over our uncle’s company, Transcorp…”I grab a napkin and wipe the corner of my lips as Tessa goes on talking about her cousin with pride glittering in her eyes. The last thing I want to do is to sit here and listen to chats that would raise my blood pressure but unfortunately for me, I don’t have much of a choice.“Emily, you don’t need to wait until you get a response from the company you are seeking employment from,” Tessa says with an encouraging smile. “I will introduce you to my cousin and have him secure a position in Transcorp for you.”Now that I think of it, having a one-night stand is not the only gist I skipped telling Tessa. I omitted the fact that Transcorp was the company I

Marriage Arrangement

Grandpa turns his attention back to me and the lines at the corner of his eyes become more pronounced.Unlike Uncle Austin, the looks he shifted to me is kinder.“Come see me in my study after dinner. There is an important conversation we need to have,” Grandpa says to me and picks up his cutlery again. But I’m done with the food and ready to leave.I release a deep sigh and feel Tessa lean in close. “I don’t think you will be able to leave tonight after all.”I get what she is saying. It’s past 7 PM and we are still on dinner, and by the time I finish my meeting with Grandpa, the clock will be hitting 9 PM.“Who says I can’t leave even at midnight?” I reply to Tessa.She shrugs and leans away. Then with something like a proud smile, she says softly, “I almost forgot who you are. You are Christopher Moore. You get whatever you want.” Then she forks a piece of beef into her mouth and chews it slowly with her gaze still on me.I don’t agree with Tessa on this. While it looks like

He Remembered Her

8 AM, Monday.Emily’s POV.Happiness is when you realize you are finally stepping foot into TRANSCORP as a staff and not a hopeful job-seeking candidate. The joy feels different.I might not have everything I want right now, but I can feel that TRANSCORP is my breakthrough point. As soon as I step out of the elevator, I see Stella standing in front of the receptionist's desk with her protruding belly. She smiles at me and I quickly make my way towards her.“Good morning, Stella.” “Congratulations, Emily and welcome to Transcorp,” she shakes my hand and turns to face the young man and woman behind the desk who stands to their feet. She introduces me to them.“Emily, meet… They are the CEO’s secretaries…” I give a small nod of my head in greeting while taking care not to smile too much. I can’t be found giving away that I’m desperate about my new job otherwise they might have something to worry about.Stella works me into my job description and introduces me to the rest of

A Desperado

I wasn’t expecting Christopher to reach his hand out for a handshake but instinctively, I accepted it and got reminded of the streak of warmth his hand was capable of leaving just like that passionate night.I watch as he walks past me and rounds his desk to sit behind it. As soon as he sees the cup of espresso sitting on his desk, he picks it up and takes a sip before putting it back on the saucer.Fixing his gaze on Stella, he asks, “Stella, what’s my schedule for today?” Immediately, she makes quick swipes on the tablet screen in her arm before reading out his itinerary for the day.“You have a meeting with the Board of Directors by 10 AM. Your visit to the car factory is scheduled for 1 PM. And that’s all for today.”Christopher rubs his stubble with his index finger and doesn’t take his eyes off her. He seemed to be lost in thought for a moment as silence ensued. The next moment, he makes an adjustment to his schedule.“Move the trip for the factory to 3 PM and make a re

Distracting Memories

Shortly after arriving at Green Gardens and sitting around our reserved table, I learn that Christopher prefers and frequents it for personal meetings. It was no wonder he met with his home interior decorator the other day.The waiters put each menu in front of us and I’m the last to pick mine. Unlike Christian who orders more proteins, because he is probably trying to build more muscles, Stella orders a big bowl of salad, fruits, tomato sauce pasta, smoked salmon and water. I doubt I will have any space left on the table for my order.Stella seems more relaxed and I don’t know if it’s because she is too pregnant to care. Whichever one it is, I bury my head in the menu and mind my business.“Emily,” Christopher suddenly calls for me. “Have you learned from Stella how to make reservations and get a table for me even when there is none available?”I almost think he is joking with me but when I see one or two lines on his forehead, I clear my throat and quickly answer him, “I’m sti

Deep-Cutting Words

The Heavens must be smiling at me because I can’t seem to stop thinking about ‘my car’ even as my cab pulls up outside my gated house.But my joy is short-lived when I run into Brenda at the door. Immediately, the smile on my face completely disappears. I wonder which of her stupid tricks she thinks she can succeed with today.Brenda is all glamoured up with a look of excitement on her face and she smells like rose oil. She must have used an entire bottle for a bath. “Where have you been all day dressed like that?” She asks as her eyes roam about me. “Have you been job-hunting?”I put one hand on my waist and peer at her with slightly furrowed brows. “Do I need to start reporting my activities to you now?” “I was just trying to help,” she shrugs.‘Trying to help???’ I scoff and almost roll my eyes at her. “Will you get out of my way or would you prefer that I push you away for real this time?” I’m not joking when I say that. If she can accuse me of something I didn’t do and

A Better Kidney

Brenda cries that she is at fault while stopping Mum from chasing after me. I sneer and walk straight without whipping my head back until I get to my bedroom. And I shut the door with a bang. So much anger is swelling in my heart by the time I sink my bum into the chair in front of my dresser. “Emily, you are special and deserving! Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!” I scream in front of my mirror and feel a tad bit better after.My joy currently lies in the fact that I have secured my dream job and there will be nothing stopping me.Maybe I should ask Stella about the possibility of getting an apartment rent-free from TRANSCORP? I think to myself.But the possibility of Christopher one day finding out about the one-night stand and sacking me from my job bothers me because then, he will take back every single penny the company gave to me, including the car and the apartment I want.When that happens, I will be homeless and left to return to this house with no other option

A Piece of Her Mind

“What did you just say?! I dare you to repeat it!” With hands on my waist and a flaring nose, I am now standing right in front of Oliver not minding the presence of both of our families.Oliver backs away with a mix of fear and surprise in his eyes. I bet he wasn’t expecting that I would overhear him and almost launch an attack on him. “Oh, my goodness, Emily!” Mum shouts from somewhere behind me and I don’t give a fuck about her thoughts or anyone else’s. Everyone in this room is my enemy.“What happened to your own kidney?” I ask as I am ready to tear him down with my gritted teeth.Oliver blinks, unsure of how to word his response. “I-I Haven’t run the required tests yet, besides, I’m not – I-I Don’t think that I will make a better match,” he stutters.“Then does that give you the right to demand that I should give a part of my body to anyone when you can’t even make an effort for the same sacrifice? Who the hell do you think you are?!!!” I scream, my voice loud enough like

Her Secret Skill

My alarm jerks me awake at 6 AM and I have to fight through with the sleep in my eyes to get off the bed and go to the bathroom to get ready. The thought of Christopher Moore soon finding out about our intimate night at the club kept me awake most of last night. I need to keep evidence for that day at the nightclub to prove my innocence. At least, he needs to know it was a big misunderstanding just in case he would want to blame and fire me for it.I stayed awake trying to hack into the servers of Exclusive XX Club, and it took quite some time before I was able to gain access. It seems I am a little rusty since it’s been over ten years since I last practised. Hacking is one of the skills the old master who raised me in the village after I escaped from my kidnappers taught me. Although I’m not professionally trained, I believe there is no information I cannot lay my hands on if I put my mind to it. The only thing it might take is time.Unfortunately for me, I didn’t find the fi
