It was almost mid morning, and the streets were as busy as ever.I rolled my eyes for the umpteenth time as I listened to Marcus, my date, speak about his achievements. I was already getting bored with his incessant talking. The only good thing about this date was the location“That was how I got promoted to the position of assistant Manager.What do you think?” The pride in his voice is evident in the tone.“I think that's just fantastic, you must really work hard to have achieved a lot in such a short time,” I tried to flow with his topic.“maybe we can,”I didn't get the chance to finish before he interrupted me again.“I am aiming for the position of manager soon,” he continued.His voice became distant as I cupped my cheeks, and placed my elbows on the table. I groaned inwardly“This was going to be a long morning,”This has been my lot for the last four years, I am a successful event pl

Emma’s POVThe look Irene had on her face was one of confusion, as she waited in anticipation for me to tell what was going on.“You would not believe this!” I exclaimed, still reeling from excitement.“We just got an offer to plan the senator's nephew's wedding.”“No way!” Irene shouted.“That's like the biggest event to ever come across us.”“I know right,” then I paused.“Come to think of it, how is it possible that we got selected to carry out this event? I mean there are lots of planners out there, most of them more qualified than I am.”Irene was not into any of that.“Now is not the time to think, Emma, we should be on our feet planning the biggest event of the year.”I exhaled happily,“You are right, get the team ready, we have a lot of work to do, I am so happy, with this, we will be recognized in the country. What a good way to compensate me for having a bad date.”I had everyone in my office work round the clock, this was a challenge for me, the biggest challenge I have ev

A Work Offer

Reclaimed Heart/Thatlady Delia

Emma’s POVThe groom waved a hand over my face, I blinked rapidly by the act.I was too shook to say anything,I knew I had to say something.“Hello,” I replied briefly, turning away from him.The groom looked confused,“Okay, I guess I'd leave you two alone to go be with my bride. Thank you again for the wonderful event.”I almost screamed no, I didn't want to be left with Jason, he still had his annoying, yet alluring smile plastered over his face.“You look beautiful.”He was still smiling.I chide myself silently, it was pointless acting meek in front of Jason, I put on my cold face.“Is that all you have to say after four years?”He wasn't moved by the harshness in my voice.“Is that all you have to say to me, after helping you get such a wonderful job.”“What are you talking about?” I asked in surprise.He was still as mean as ever.“In case you don't know, I told my cousin to reach out to you, I also sent the dress you are wearing.” His eyes went down to the top of my cleavage

Family Pains

Reclaimed Heart/Thatlady Delia

Emma’s POV“A blank cheque, are you out of your mind?” I shouted at him, slipping him back the cheque.Whatever game he is up to, I am not just willing to play.“Come on Emma, your work deserves good pay, this is for you to write whatever you want, any amount, and it's all yours.”I slapped my hands on the table,“I am not some charity case Jason,and I don't need you to rise up the social ladder. I can see you already do well for yourself, there is no need to flaunt it in my face, I am not interested.”He gave a sigh.“I only propose an opportunity, but I see you haven't changed much. Still proud, instead of making a name on your price, which I know you wouldn't. How about I give you five million dollars for the job, excluding whatever expenses might accrue.”I almost jumped out of my chair at the mention of such an incredulous amount that's over twice of what I got from the wedding. It was really tempting, but I didn't want to appear so desperate.It was indeed a huge offer I couldn'

The only thing I felt bad about was the slap, which I deserved.I just hoped she would accept my offer. Emma's pride has always been her stubborn personality, and I know too well that she might turn down my offer.So I was very surprised when I received her call, I restrained myself from celebrating yet, she might not be calling for the job offer.I picked it earnestly.“If it isn't Emma Wilson, how may I be of help to you.”“I am willing to pick you up on your offer.” She was brief and business like, not the way I wanted, but a good start.I was silent, I had to think of a way to get her close to me.“Why don't we discuss our agreemen
