"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.

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
