She smiled mildly at her, force wasn't gonna take her anywhere. “Okay, so what do we do now?”
“What do we? I think it's more of what do you.” Leah said, stepping up to her.In a twinkle of an eye, the prey had become the predator. Where did she get such boldness from? She was about to find out.“Excuse you, remember who you're talking to. An investor of your boss, I help with my connection and money, perhaps that's where you get paid from. So I won't sit around and let you insult me.”Leah got scared again, remembering who she was. She refused to show it but thought of another way to make profit from this sophisticated investor.“I'll take you there ma'am.” Leah said, with her hands in her skirt pocket. She swayed from left to right impatiently while Grace smiled sheepishly.“I knew it was going to work “ she muttered. “Now you're talking. Let's go.”“But on three conditions!” Leah said, stamping her feet on the ground,The room fell into deep silence while Louis refused to relent. He came closer this time and touched rubbed the back of her palm. “Don't worry, it'll be fine.” Her face was on the desk. She rose her head, looked at him and said, “You're never this candid with me and I know all you're saying is true but I can't help it.”“That's when you know you're in love and that you can do anything for the person because you love him.”“Is it so bad that I'm in love with him?” Helen asked, acting like a baby.“It's not so bad but it's not right. He's your boss and you work for him. It doesn't create a healthy work environment as you may get so distracted and lose focus.”“You're saying the truth so easily today. I hate it so much.”“I love you too.”Please get away. Leave my office, now you're distracting me.” She said, moving away from his chest.“The first order from the acting chairman, beta group and company.”
She heaved a sigh of relief as she noticed he was saying the truth. He also stood shocked, just the same way she felt as well.“And you couldn't knock again this time because?”“And you don't know Davin hates fraternization in his company?”“What gives you the audacity to speak about what my boss dislikes and what he doesn't?”“I'll speak to you in whatever way I deem fit.” Grace said angrily.“Ladies, ladies, please let's lower our voices. It's unethical to be shouting this way in an office premises.”“Suddenly you can speak, I thought your mouth was full of her big sized nipples and you lost your voice.“Excuse me please, I'm not here to trade words with you. I'm only saying we should reduce our voices before people think that there's something going on here.”“And wait please, are you saying there's nothing going on here? You're f*cking your acting chairman and you think there's nothing going on here.”<
“Hello, I just left your office and wow, you did a great job by not telling me you were going to travel. I thought it was a lie at first until I waited there for more than four hours and you still didn't call. Now I skipped two hours before my lunch break, my lunch break and an hour after my lunch break, all for nothing!” She said, panting like a deer that longeth for water.“Slow down! Slow down! Then breathe properly.” Davin said over the phone doing the same rhing.She breathed in, then breathe out. “That….does…. not….make…me happy in any way.”“I know I was wrong to do that but it was an emergency. I need to be at home and I couldn't bring myself to telling you that I won't be available.”“I understand. So you put Helen in charge?” Grace asked.“Yeah, I did? Did anything unusual happen?”“No, nothing of that sort happened. They treated me well. Helen is such a nice girl.”“She has a lot of attributes, being nice
“Ooh! Brother! So nice to see you, mom said you'll be home today, I doubted it but of course now I believe.”“Did you miss me?” Davin asked.“Yeah, yeahhhh I did.” Michael said, reluctant to hug him because his hands were wide open.“It's fine. All that life is in the past, I won't hurt you. We're friends and you're a big boy now.” Davin said, chuckling.James wanted to say a word but this was family business and he was not invited. How could he trust his brother so easily. He tried to signal him not to fall into his trap but he was already too close and an attempt to shift away from him to run away or run to safety might fail because Davin will be too prepared and will catch him. Also, he would also know that he is the one who dissuaded him from embracing his brother so he stopped.Into the arms of Davin he saw James smiling at him and so he tapped him on his shoulder lightly. Davin released him and his smile looked more genuin
“How did your meeting with Davin go?” She asked over the phone.“We didn't meet again, he travelled for an emergency to his hometown.” Grace said disappointedly.“Did he say when?”“No, he didn't. But he specifically said that he's really going to be busy there. He said he had a lot on his plate.”“Well, that's very sad news, but don't relent, ensure you strive to know more about him and the business.”“Yeah, surely, I would do that.” Grace said emphatically.“So who runs the company in his absence?”“He left it in the hands of his secretary, Helen.” “Hmm, I hope she's not gaining the upper hand in this battle,.see to it that she loses that job or you replace her and she's taken somewhere else. You need to be close Davin. That's the only time we can strike and the impact will be felt by him.” She said.“Anyways ma'am, I got a little lucky today and got a spy to be on the team. She's really smart a
Davin paced his office, the weight of the day’s events pressing down on him. Michael’s reckless actions and the subsequent family drama had put him on edge. His mother’s frustration was palpable, and the tension between James and him had become a new battleground. Davin’s phone buzzed, pulling him from his thoughts. It was a message from Grace.“I need to see you. It’s urgent. Call me." She said, her voice blaring over the phone. He frowned, feeling a pang of unease. Grace had been a reliable ally, but her recent insistence on digging into Davin’s business made him wary. He dialled her number immediately.“Grace, what’s going on?”“Davin, I’ve found out something that might interest you,” she said, her voice tinged with excitement. “Helen’s involvement in something big. She’s been meeting with someone from the IT department.”Davin’s curiosity was piqued. “Meeting with whom? And what are they discussing?” He asked. “I’m not sure about the details yet,” Grace admitted. “But I suspec
The next moment saw Davin in his homestead, the best place he could find solace, he moved into the house Swifty, his mind settled on having a rest from the long hours at work. As he sank into the chair, his phone blared, he sighed deeply, "This isn't the time for this...I ... need to have some time for myself." He exclaimed.Hurrying to the table where his phone was kept, his eyes settled on the phone's screen. With a deep breath, he shrugged, it was a call from Niki, the lady he had always avoided like a plague. Davin hesitatingly swiped his hands on the screen and Nikki's voice blared from the speaker. "Hello, Davin." She said, "I know you should be wondering why I'm calling you, but this isn't about what you think." Davin listened without giving a response, he wasn't interested in stories that touched the heart at that moment, all he thought of was to have his nap. "Can we meet later tomorrow?" She asked. "Are you there… or are you ignoring me like you always do?" She asked,
When Davin was done with what he had to do, he quickly stepped out of the inn, but then his eyes widened at a scene that made him stutter. Three hefty men were molesting a lady just by the front of the inn, blood gushing from the lady's lips. Davin's teeth clenched, his fists tightened. He hurried towards the scene, his steps carrying the weight of the hatred he had for the men. Quickly, when he got there, he called out to one of the men. His voice heavy with anger. "Why are you doing this?... Can you just stop it!" Davin yelled. The man turned, his eyes reddened, his voice sounding stern and commanding, "And who are you to come give us orders here?.. you little brat, won't you get lost immediately if you don't want to have a taste of my anger?" Davin chuckled, "... A taste of your what?" He asked again. "And you take your hands off her!" He commanded, pointing at the other guy who was grabbing the lady's hair. He was Roland by name. Quickly Roland unleashed a slap on Davin's f
