The CEO led Ken into his office and offered him the twin couch to sit on. Ken sat and inhaled the sweet jasmine extract whose scent had taken over the room.Mr. Carter must have a taste for sweet fragrances he thought and rested his back against the couch.Mr. Carter strode to the refrigerator which was stationed by the right corner of his room. He pulled out a bottle of cold water. He placed the RAZBERRY water on the glass table before Ken. "I can have a bottle of champagne sent to us if you won't have the water," he said.Ken swung his head from left to right. "It's okay sir."Mr. Carter sat opposite him and crossed his legs. "So, I'll draft a document, spelling out your roles, and send it to you so that you'll know what's expected of you."Ken sighed and turned away, displaying his lack of interest in the quest."I don't need to remind you but this is a job to die for." Mr. Carter hinted.Ken cleared his throat loudly and the CEO knew he wanted to speak so he urged him to carry on
Ken rubbed his drowsy eyes with the edge of his palms. It was a brand new day and he was still adjusting to his new life.It's the first day of school, the Second semester.It's been two days since his job as the assistant cashier ended at RAZBERRY company. He completed his contract at the company and earned his pay cheque.After his appointment by Mr. Cater as the project manager of the nearly completed hospital, Ken was given the keys to his new apartment. It was a well-furnished bungalow, housing a spacious living room, a kitchen, and two bedrooms. It's been a week since he relocated from his rat hole to the house. The other bedrooms were locked and Ken had no plans to open them. He was just making use of the living room and one of the bedrooms.If Mr. Carter wouldn't dispute, he would have requested a single apartment because he felt that the one he was given was too big for him. It was a home made for a family not someone like him.The first time he was dropped in front of the h
More students kept trouping toward the main gate to catch a glimpse of the person inside the vehicle. News had gone around the school like wildfire that a rich student was on campus and had arrived in a Lamborghini. The students began to murmur. As far as they were concerned, the student in the Lamborghini was taking a long to come out of the vehicle in his bid to pull more attention. Ken had been inside the vehicle for about five minutes."Who the hell those he think he is?""When is he going to come out?""I'm not leaving here till I find out who the person is."The students kept on murmuring.Meanwhile, Ken was struggling with the bottom of his left sleeve which got stuck in his Rolex. He was trying to wipe the sweat of anxiety that had teamed up on his forehead with the edge of his left palm when a button from his Gucci sleeve got into the region where the watch was clasped.He finally took off the button and just when he was about to open the car door, he realized that the hem o
Miranda almost fell to the ground but got lucky. She held her ground and didn't land on the hard floor.Ken took off his dark spectacle and began to address her. He pointed the glasses at her, looked her straight in the face, and warned her."I don't ever want to see you around me again. Do you understand?" Miranda gasped and tried to get closer to him but Ken glared at her and she was forced to look down but only for a while. The moment she lifted her head, she began charging toward him."Listen, Ken, we can fix this." she implored with pleading eyes.Ken tightened his jaw and his brows furrowed in anger. Miranda could tell that he was mad at her. She had never seen him that mad so she stopped moving."I miss you." she blurted.Ken raised a brow. "Are you kidding me?" "If you ever come near me, I'm going to have you arrested for harassment" he warned and Miranda was stunned.She stared at him with her eyes widened in surprise. What of the other girls throwing themselves at him? Wa
Ken remained rooted to his spot as he watched Jane run away. There was a bright smile on his face and he was looking like a clown.Ray, who had witnessed the incident from the car alighted. Even though he didn't hear the words spoken by Ken and the girl, he deduced that Ken tried to talk to a girl who ended up running away.Ray walked up to Ken and stood beside him. He watched in amazement as the boy kept smiling like a fool without taking his eyes off the path that Jane took.Ray cleared his throat loudly but Ken didn't notice his presence. He had to step in front of the boy, creating applause on his face and that was the act that Jared Ken senses to the realization that someone was in front of him.Ken stroked his forehead and turned away with a shy smile. "Hey Ray!" he mumbled.Ray folded his arms across his chest and stared at Ken like an owl. "You like her don't you?"Ken turned around and caught Ray's eyes piercing into his. Of course, he likes Jane and had even asked her to be
Ken roved his eyes around the area. There was no one coming down the path and he couldn't see anyone coming from behind.He instantly slipped into a panic. He began searching the area, looking for any tool that he could use to break the door open. He saw a rock by the corner and swept it off the ground with both hands.He began hitting the rock on the door, hoping to force it open. "Jane are you okay?" he kept screaming.Ken was sweating profusely and was almost losing his mind. Jen had been inside the room for about five minutes and she didn't respond.What if the person that grabbed her tried to... Ken shook his head and dismissed the negative thought making its way into his mind.He kept screaming her name and hitting the door with the rock. If it doesn't open, he'll have to run to seek help.*****Jane rested her back against the wall and heaved a deep sigh. "Son of a bitch!" She muttered under her breath.She stared at the man who was lying unconsciously on the floor. He was lyin
Ken quickly made his way through the crowd of students who were trying to reach out to him. Throughout the lecture period, he felt the eyes of the students all over him and that made him feel comfortable.When he turned around in class, a group of girls seating next to each other was waving at him. So immediately after the class, he took to his heels.He had dismissed Ray, telling him that he'll call him when he was done for the day. Ken took hurried steps toward the MC ARTHUR hostel.He heard footsteps reaching for him and when he turned back, he caught a glance at a group of three girls hurrying toward him.He fastened his steps knowing that if he doesn't hurry up, they'll throw themselves at him and drag him into unnecessary conversations."Can you please wait up!""Hey, Ken. Can we talk for a moment?"The ladies kept screaming at him but Ken didn't stop.He kept hurrying to the hostel. He sighed in relief when he turned around and noticed that the girls were gone.Finally, he was
Charlie clenched his jaw and turned to Walter with bloodshot eyes. Of all the men Miranda could kneel before, it had to be the boy he considered his mortal enemy.Charlie's bowels began to heat up with rage as flashes from the video fluttered in his mind. The way she was kneeling before Ken and the tears he saw in her eyes made him burn the more with rage."I hate that boy!" He declared.Walter tucked his phone inside his pants pocket with a sigh. He folded his arms across his chest and didn't give any reply to Charlie. He knew that speaking back might fuel more rage in Charlie which could result in a backlash."I swear, I won't spare him this time.""So what are you going to do?" Walter spoke after a few moments of silence.Charlie moved to his closet and pulled out a green tee shirt. "Let the bitch be. I'll handle both of them." He told Walter, referring to Miranda and Ken."Well, it's sad that she left a man like you for that coward." Said, Walter. He made that statement to stroke
