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.

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.

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.

His Ascension Be gone!
Jane looked into Ken's eyes and all she could see was vulnerability. He wanted her so badly and she could sense it. She began to melt like wax in his arms and just when she wanted to shut her eyes and give in to her weakness, she put on her game face and tried to push him away but Ken's grip was too tight on her.Even though he was mad at her, Ken wanted to lean for a kiss. The mere look into her eyes was causing all his anger to vanish and he wished she could apologize. He wanted her to provide all the answers he needed so they could make things right but Jane seemed to have other intentions. She kept trying to free her hand from his clutch and was glaring at him."Let go of me!" She barked and finally set herself free.With a sigh, he drifted backward and gave his forehead a delicate scrape. He lifted his head and caught Jane rubbing her arms tenderly.What are you doing Ken? What if you hurt her? He thought.Ken exhaled and was about to apologize to her when she sharply cut in. "Ge

She mumbled with her eyes widened in terror.She began to take fast steps back to the park. Jane was forced to stop moving when she sensed a movement behind her. She turned around and stared at the emptiness. She could swear that there was a figure looming behind her and if she had believed in ghosts, she would have concluded that she was being haunted by one.Just when Jane was about to take a step further, she sensed a movement in the shrubs by her right. She then guessed that the person trailing was in the shrubs, hiding."Whose there?" She demanded with her voice quaking.She was getting cold and uneasy. She roved her eyes around the dark environment and was scared to the core.
