Rohan walked inside the office with his hands pocketed inside his trousers. He had been listening to the discussion between Sam and his team members from the entrance and he couldn't help but to giggle at the discussion."Mr. Rohan, you are welcome" Sam immediately faked a smile and welcomed him. He took his seat beside his master, Adam."As a team leader, isn't it your duty to carry all the team members along with your discussion? How dare you make the decision all by yourself? Moreso, you have no right to talk about their family background. Since you are all working here, you suppose to be one, irrespective of your background" he cautioned and Sam understood what he meant.Sam immediately apologized to Adam and Karina. He knew not doing that might earn him a demotion.After the meeting ended, they all went back to their offices, including Rohan.It was almost closing time when they returned back to their office. Adam was arranging his backpack when Sam called him."You need to deliv
Inside Clara's office. She was busy checking some documents when the door opened, revealing Felix.Clara raised her head up and immediately stopped what she was checking. That was the first time she saw Felix after the incident."What are you doing here?" She fired angrily at him.Felix smirked, neglected her question and walked towards her. He took the free seat that was opposite where she was sitting."I asked you a question, Felix. What the hell are you doing here?" She asked again."Has it gotten to that extent? Can't I pay my girlfriend a visit?" Felix retorted."Excuse me, I'm no longer your girlfriend. Have that in your mind" Clara scoffed at him."I don't recall us breaking up. Why are you doing this? Because of Adam right? Jeez, how many times do I need to tell you that I'll take good care of you, more than Adam would. Whereas, you are already his ex wife, the one that humiliated him to be precise. Have that in .." Felix was trying to explain but Clara cut him off."I apolog
Felix woke up with blurry vision. He rose from his bed and grabbed his head in pain. He was having a hangover as a result of the alcohol that he took the previous night.Suddenly, his eyes widened and his mouth opened in agape."What the heck happened last night?" He screamed, noticing he was naked and Aria was sleeping beside him.His screams was the one that woke Aria up from her peaceful sleep."Good morning, Felix" she greeted, using the duvet to cover her bare chest."Aria, what happened between us? What the heck happened? Don't tell me we had sex last night. Tell me what I don't know please" he was panicking, not wanting to believe the information that his brain was passing to him."Is that why you shouted? Gosh! It's not a big deal. I noticed you were drunk last night and wouldn't stop muttering my sister's name. I brought you to your house and in the process of getting you to sleep, I fell on top of you and we kissed. From there, we made love" Aria explained nonchalantly. She
Some minutes to five pm of the same day, Clara dressed Elegantly to the hotel. She Kept checking the time and didn't want to keep Adam waiting.Initially, she wouldn't have minded if Adam would wait for two hours or more but since the table has turned around, she didn't want to do anything to annoy him, not when she was trying to make things better and work out between them.On getting to the reception, she met a lady there."This was where Aria always stayed and welcomed guests but unfortunately, she has been replaced" she thought as the receptionist welcomed her with a broad smile."I'm Clara Jones and …" she was trying to introduce herself and state her purpose for coming there but the receptionist immediately cut her off."Welcome ma'am. I've been informed about your arrival. Kindly follow me" The lady said and led the way.There were two other receptionists to attend to other guests.Clara followed and was marveled with the interior decoration. It was her first time entering the
Clara couldn't stop rejoicing after she left the hotel room. The alert she received was still giving her goosebumps. Had it been that she knew Adam would give her the money without any hesitation, she would have mentioned ten million dollars instead of the five million dollars.She arrived home to meet her mom watching her favorite tv show."Hi mom" she greeted, waving her bag at her and the cat walking to her room."Clara, come back here and tell me what happened" Her mom said."What happened? I don't get you" Clara pretended not to have any idea about what her mother just said."Clara, stop playing numbs with me. I know something good happened because it's all written on your face. Now, tell me whatever is making you happy and allow me to rejoice with you" her mother explained while she giggled."It's a secret," she replied, running into her room.Immediately she entered her room, she closed the door and walked to the huge mirror, staring at her reddish face. She was blushing!" For
"Oh no! I can't believe this! I'm actually going crazy right now!" Rohan kept murmuring till he dropped Adam at a stone thrown to the office.Adam maintained his cool posture. He stood in front of the office for a while, expecting Karina to show up like she did the previous day but nothing related to get was in sight."Maybe she came early today," he concluded before entering the office building.He was the second to arrive in his department. He exchanged them with his co-worker that he met there.Shortly after, the office was filled with the workers but Karina was nowhere in sight."What's delaying her?" He asked no one in particular.He was about to call Rohan to request her phone number when Karina showed up.Her hair was right and her face swollen coupled with black thin lines under her eyes."Good morning" she murmured as she entered her office.Adam was shocked. It was obvious that Karina wasn't in a good state of mind. Her mood, dressing and expression shows everything.***Ins
Adam was shocked and stunned by her request. It wasn't like Kayla was too young to stay alone since there were a majority of teenagers, living alone."Are you scared that she might start staying up late at night when you ain't around?" Adam asked."Adam, I know my sister and she is always afraid of staying outside at night but she needs help, we both need help. Fine, I know you are confused but let me explain. I'm entering the palace on Monday to contest for the prince's bride and I can't leave her alone because she will be in danger. I want to be at peace while inside the palace.I don't know why I'm telling you this but she needs someone that I can entrust her safety with, pending the time that I'll leave the palace. It's just for a month" she explained to the best of her knowledge, not wanting Adam to know what was happening.With the way she was speaking, Adam could only see the worries of a big sister to her younger sister and from her conversation, she was desperate.The Karina th
Monday morning, Adam has forwarded all the documents that Kayla might need, along with her flight ticket.Karina helped her with her loads and made sure to stop a cab for her, that will take her to the airport.Immediately she left, Karina started feeling void. She was raised along with her sister and the only time they both departed was when she went to college but it's now Kayla's turn and there was no hope of seeing her soon since it wasn't in the same country."Maybe when I win the money, I'll also go to Canada to start a new life" she murmured and left to work.She made it early to work, almost immediately when her team member arrived."Good morning guys, hope you all enjoyed your weekend?" She asked when she entered and they all chorused "yes!", Along with Adam."She seems to be happy this morning," one of the team uttered."What I see is confusion. I think she is in a state of confusion and pretending to be fine, "another said.Adam stood up and went to her office"How are you
