Zen dashed out of his office with immediate alacrity and headed to his car that was parked in the garage. He forgot his pain and the sorrows that was tugging at his chest.He was worried to the marrow and the more he tried to calm down, the more his heart rose. He had just one wish and that was for her to be well. Nothing else mattered to him, at least for that moment.His hands controlled the steering as hard as he could and barely paid any attention to the road. To lessen the tension in him, he fiddled with the stereo flooding the car with music.His throbbing nerves calmed a bit and before he realised it, he began humming to it.One thing still wasn't clear to him and that was the fact that Stella happened to be in the same hotel as the investors who had just left his company. What had she gone to do there?"Maybe she has a business meeting," he thought to himself with a shrug of the shoulder.A few minutes after, he swerved his car into the large parking space that belonged to Se

Stella sat in her swiveling chair with her eyes fixed on the laptop screen that was opened before her. She was filled with excitement and could barely keep her excitement.She could barely keep her attention on the work before her. All she wanted was to see Zen and celebrate the good news with him. That was all that mattered anyways.She grinned as she turned her head around and without second thought, shut the laptop. She sprung to her feet as swiftly as she could, adjusted her gown and walked out of the office.The time read four. It was evening and the sun had gone down immensely. "Hello ma," Her secretary greeted as she raised her head to her.Stella waved her hand at her with a nod of the head, "please pack my stuff and bring them to the car with me. I'll be leaving now."Her face bulged and she seemed shocked. Stella was a bit confused as to why she had that look on her face. "Is everything alright?""Yes ma, I was only wondering what would happen to the meeting that you schedu

Zen was quite startled as he hadn’t expected her to come into the room at that moment. He sat upright as beads of sweat trickled down his brows. He took a deep breath, as he thought of what to say to her..She continued to stare at him with a confused look on her face. He swallowed the saliva that had gathered in his mouth and then said, “I was speaking to a distant friend of mine.” he bore his dentures at her as his heart continued to race against his chest. Stella was mute as she pondered on his words. She shrugged and smiled. “Alright then. When you’re done, I’ll be waiting for you in the sitting room.”Zen sighed in relief, glad that Stella didn’t overhear his conversation with Ariel. She would be so mad at him and would never forgive him.His eyes darted around in search of his clothes and when he found them, he wore them as quickly as he could and raced out.By the time he got to the living room, he was shocked at the sight that greeted him, and then confusion set in."What's g

Ariel sat on her swiveling chair with her head fixed on the computer screen that was staring at me. She took a deep breath that was filled with exhaustion and frustration. On one half was Stefan whose timer was counting not in her favour and on the other hand was Zen who she was having a hard time convincing.“Damn it! It would cost this fool nothing nothing to get rid of that good for nothing called Stella. I wouldn’t be in this predicament if he had done that,” Ariel said aloud as her anger got the better of her.She ran her hands through her hair as she tried to calm herself down. Her throat felt dry and she needed a drink. Ariel sprung to her feet and sauntered through the hallway until she was in the kitchen. Light came on, flooding the room with its bright beams. Her eyes moved the room as her jaw dropped. The kitchen was sparkling. The housekeeper had definitely come in to clean because she remembered I didn’t leave it as clean as it was at the moment.She was excited as we

His hands shook and he quavered as well. Stella’s eyes were right on him as she awaited words from him. There was no way he could run from this question like he would have done like other times. He smiled and wrapped around her, “I was speaking to one of my staff who was lagging on the task I had given to him to complete.”“Oh! These people these days. You would have to cajole them and sometime even yell before they get the work done”“Exactly and it is just so annoying. They manage to get you pissed off all the time,” he said, glad that she bought into his story. He took a bite from the food snacks she handed to him and munched against it as a sigh of relief escaped from his lips.When they were done, they sat on the long sofa in the sitting room with her head resting against Zen’s laps. She looked so soft and tender that zen couldn’t help but stare at her. One thing was sure, she was in love with him but not as his person- the real zen. She was in love with Daniel who had his nam
