He was growing lonely by the day.He could tell that his job at Raspberry was influencing his life thereby affecting the people he cared about. There was Cassie who he was barely in touch with on one hand and there was Jane, the love of his life who he felt he was being unfair to her."Maybe you should give her a call." Ray hinted and cleared his throat loudly.Ken sighed. He knew Ray was asking him to call Jane."Her voice might make you feel better.""Well, I might just try," Ken replied and decided to give her a call.He dialed Jane's number with eager eyes cast on the screen, hoping she would pick up the call but she didn't.

His Ascension All eyes on her
Ken was about to step into the hall when someone forced his way through the crowd and slammed the door behind him.It was Mr. Cameron, the hospital's secretary.Soon, more employees were charging toward the hall entrance to catch a glance at the woman.Mr. Cameron cleared his throat loudly and urged the crowd to pay attention. "I need you all to stay calm. I promise you all that everyone will get access to the hall but right now, it's best if we don't act like a bunch of excited kids. Let's allow our guests to settle first.Ken was beginning to sweat. Some of the nurses were surrounding them while a large number of the other employees and interns were obstructing his view in their bid to get into the hall.After noticing that the crowd would not calm down easily, Mr. Cameron turned around with a sigh and finally pushed the door open.The hospital staff rushed into the hall like a pack of wolfs that had just been released.

"Let me do you the honor."She released his trembling right hand and watch him lower it to his lap slowly.She took off her dark shades and shook her head, causing the strands of hair that had covered a part of her face to clear off.She was now visible. Not just to Ken but to everyone."Jane!" He gasped and began to stagger backwards.From the moment she spoke, his senses picked up the voice as Jane's but he had his doubts until she spoke again.Ken tried to speak but no words came out of his mouth. He was stunned beyond words and his lips were trembling."Impossible!" He spat as he stared at the woman standing before him with a dropped jaw.When he saw her black silky hair, he wasn't sure whether she was his Jane until curiosity moved him to take steps toward her, and now that she had taken off the spectacles shielding her eyes, he
His Ascension Heartache
Two days earlierJane stared at the cup of vanilla ice cream in her left hand and the plastic spoon she was clutching with her left hand. She was putting on a long face and even though she didn't engage in any physical activity, she was feeling drained.She sighed and threw her head backward. She concluded that she was feeling that way because she was emotionally drained.Jane had phoned Ken that morning but Ray ended up picking up the call, stating that he was going to get the phone across to Ken and leave her a message.7 hours later. Ken didn't call or texted her and to get away from the feeling of anger and disappointment he was feeling, Jane grabbed a cup of ice cream from her refrigerator but now that she was staring at it, the desire to consume it was gone.She was sprawled on the carpet in her room, clothed in a loose evening gown. She went for her phone and dialed Ken's number. There was no response. She lowered her head.With a clenched jaw and a frustrated sigh, she flung t
His Ascension The new assistant director got him broken
Every step Ken took toward his office felt heavy. It was as if a log was attached to his feet. His legs were not only feeling heavy but so was his heart. The organ in his chest felt congested and he couldn't wait to get to his office.He came across a group of male nurses down the hallway but his attention was far from their cheerful gestures. They waved at him but he didn't even turn to stare at them. However, he could figure out what they were talking about.The assistant director!Everyone in the hospital was talking about the new assistant director.Ken walked past them. He could hear them whispering behind him."Don't you think the reason why Dr. Ken walked up to her was that he couldn't resist her hotness?"They broke into a laugh."She's fierce and that's my kind of woman. I wouldn't mind trying my luck on her.""She's the fucking assistant director and who are you? A bloody nurse." his colleague teased.Ken fastened his steps, got to his door, and gave it an aggressive push. H
His Ascension I did a good job
Immediately after Jane left the conference hall, she took graceful steps toward her new office. Before arriving at the office that morning to announce her position as the assistant secretary, she had made a phone call, ensuring a spot was carved out for her.She opened the door that led into her spacious office with a bright smile. She gave repeated nods."Perfect!" Jane muttered under her breath and began to take steps toward the grey curtains behind her desk.Before making the phone call, she had carefully thought about the office setting she wanted. She wanted grey curtains, and black couches stationed opposite each other with a glass table in the middle. She also requested that her desk be placed a few meters away from the furniture set.She parted the curtains and stared out through her window. The corners of her mouth were stretched in excitement and she quickly turned around.Everything went according to plan!First, she was happy that her office had been set exactly the way sh
His Ascension Who’s the bigger boss
Jane was about to grab the fork lying beside her plate so she could get a taste of the mouth-watering meal before her when a soft knock fell on her door. She withdrew her hand from the plate and turned to stare at the wall clock hanging on her left.Who was knocking on her door? As far as she was concerned, she wasn't expecting anyone that morning."Come in!" She responded and shoved the plate to the side after a sigh.The door to her office was pushed open and a woman in her early thirties walked in. She was dressed in a brown maxi and was pressing some files to her chest. The petite walked up to the desk and flashed a quick smile at Jane."Good morning ma'am."Jane reciprocated the smile. "Morning Tess." She replied. It was her secretary.The secretary darted her gaze to the table and caught the untouched meal. "I'm so sorry you didn't get the chance to touch your meal."Jane gave a fake smile and sat up. "It's nothing. I'll have it later." Meanwhile, she was starving. She wanted to
His Ascension Jane vs ken
Jane was still beaming with smiles while Ken stared at her in astonishment. She seemed not to care about a thing that he had spent the last two days pondering to the extent that he almost went insane.Ken began taking steps toward her and her smile instantly vanished. She was trying so hard to stabilize her gaze on him but her eyes wouldn't stop roving. They wandered from Ken to the different corners of the office and back to him.Get a grip on yourself Jane she cautioned and instantly put on her game face.She positioned both her hands on the table and arched a brow. "You wanted to see me, Director Ken?"Did she just address him officially? He wondered. he looked straight into her eyes. She was putting on a firm stare and was waiting for him to speak."Director Ken!" He muttered under his breath.He folded his arms across his chest and was still looking into her eyes. He darted his gaze from her well-sculptured brows to her soft lips which were painted in red.His eyes wandered to th
