Not Your Average Son-in-law 16. The Boss's Office!
Gavin arrived at work still angry because of the heated argument between him and Meghan. He just wished Meghan would try to understand him and all the efforts he was putting in just to make her see for herself just how much he loves her.“Hey Gavin!” A colleague called out to him. “Why weren't you at work yesterday? The boss came looking for you,” the colleague said.Gavin could tell he was in some sort of trouble. Brax Connelly wasn't a man to joke with and the fact that he had stayed away from work without due permission was enough reason to be worried.“Gavin! What happened to you? You didn't come around yesterday and you didn't even deem it fit to notify the boss. He's angry,” Another colleague said, expressing just how much the boss had been angry that Gavin didn't show up for work the previous day.A couple of deliveries were not made and it has really gotten the boss angry.“Oh! It wasn't intentional. I had some important stuffs to attend to. I'll explain to the boss,” Gavin r

"Good morning, Meghan," greeted a colleague as Meghan arrived at work that day."Morning," Meghan replied, her usual warm smile lighting up her face.Other colleagues joined in the customary morning pleasantries, their expressions revealing how much they had missed Meghan's presence in the office.The two days Meghan had been absent from work had not gone unnoticed. Her unique approach to ensuring tasks were completed efficiently had always made her an integral part of the team. Unlike her sister Sophie, Meghan was known for her collaborative leadership style, never merely issuing orders but always working alongside her colleagues."Hope you're doing well, ma'am? We've really missed you," the colleagues expressed, conveying their genuine sentiment towards Meghan.Meghan's smile widened as her colleagues continued to shower her with kind words.Upon settling into her office, Meghan's phone rang, displaying her mother's name on the screen."I need you in my office immediately," Katherin

Gavin had just finished the last delivery for the day. Not wanting to offend Mr Brax anymore, he made sure he carried out every delivery promptly and even took in two extra deliveries for the day just to be on his good side.“Well done, Gavin, you did a nice job today,” the senior manager at the company said as Gavin made way to the cloak room to change back into the clothes he had worn to work that morning.“Thank you, sir.” Gavin replied, smiling at the supervisor's satisfactory remark on his job.Just as he was about signing out for the day, his phone rang and it was Meghan calling, crying on the phone as she spoke.“What's wrong?” Gavin inquired, as it was very unusual for Meghan to cry except it was something very serious but Meghan didn't say a word before the call ended abruptly.Gavin tried reaching her immediately but her phone wasn't going through any longer prompting him to sign out in a hurry, hail the first cab that came his way and hurried home straight away.Gavin arriv

It did not take long after Meghan's departure for Sophie and her mother to be paid another visit by two likely visitors. They both brushed in the office with the swave and style that they have always been used to having. Harry and his best friend, James. Ever since the embarrassment brought upon him by Gavin in the night at the restaurant, he had carried a a little anger around him. One that was quite visible in the way he got in the office. He did not even smile when he was greeted by the two women. His friend, Harry tried his best to infact cover up his blemishes and not tried to make him seem to imposing."Harry!" Sophie let out a high pitched scream once she set her eyes on one of the people on the door, knocking. It was Harry, her fiance, and his best friend, James, who had taken a liken on her sister. She went ahead to hug Harry while James came inside the office and greeted Katherine."To what do I owe this pleasant surprise?" Katherine asked in a delightful manner. "Come, gra

"Is that not Meghan?" James said excitedly having spotted her. Harry turned around to see what James was talking about and saw his soon to be sister-in-law seemingly trying to stop a taxi."Aw, look at her. She doesn't even have a car because she is married to that broke oaf." Harry sneered."Hey, that's my future wife you're talking about. Try to show a little bit more respect." James said inspite of himself."You're funny," Harry remarked cheekily. "What are you going to do now? Don't tell me—""Harry, I'm sorry," James apologized. "But please can you do this one thing for me? Take a cab home, or better yet, call one of your drivers to come pick you. I intend to go drop her off at her destination myself." "What? I figured you'd do this, you sly dog," noted Harry, looking really pissed at his friend wanting to abandon him for a woman."Like I said, I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you some other day, please do not get angry, even though I know you're already pissed. I need to make a n
Not Your Average Son-in-law 21. A Helping Hand!
"Well," Meghan prepared to start her tale on what exactly was the case with her. She gripped tightly the edges of her dress, seemingly shy to say the least in bringing her problems to the young man whom she was with at the time. Her eyes were fixed to the floor.James had one eye on the road and one eye on her. He held his words, not wanting to say anything at the time that would stop her from spilling what she had already told him to be a long story."You see, my family wants me to secure a deal for them, and if I don't do so, they will—" She cut her long story short there. Any other words and it would have been a little bit too much for her to be pouring into the ears of James, someone who had already declared interest in her. Still the same someone who her husband was quite uncomfortable with. She couldn't say more."It's okay, you shouldn't tell me if it is going to be like I am forcing you to. I don't want to be that person to you." James put as much effort sounding like he care
Not Your Average Son-in-law 22. Gavin: Hello, Thomas!
"And here we are, at the bank," James said, stopping the car for Meghan to alight. "Thank you," she said as she came down from the car about to go into the bank. "I really appreciate you." "It's fine," James said in a cheeky manner. "It's all good when it's about helping a beautiful woman like you." Meghan blushed at his compliment. "You ought to stop, I am a married woman," she said."Surely you don't think that a married woman doesn't deserve to be complimented and praised do you?" He asked. "Well that would be a shame.""I'm just letting you know once again, just in case you forget what I am," she said. She was a little more serious in tone this time. She looked at the watch on her wrist and she immediately got a sense of urgency, which showed on her face in a look of anxiousness."Is anything the matter?" James asked."No. Not really. I just have to go now before the bank closes." She replied him without looking up towards his face."Oh, of course," James said. "You go do that.
Not Your Average Son-in-law 23. James: Hello, Max!
In the comforts of his home, James also made his call, believing that the men he had in the bank would grant him his wish."Hello, Max," he said as the recipient of his call picked up the phone. "Yes, hello James. What exactly is the problem now?" Max asked.James chuckled, almost even laughing sporadically. "Why would you think that there is a problem?" "Because you only call me when you have a problem you want to fix, James. That is not something you can deny any more.""Okay, I admit that I might have done that before, but that doesn't mean that it is what I always do when I call you."There was no answer from Max. It was almost as if he was trying to get James to admit to the truth himself."Spill it, James," he said at once. "I really don't have time right now. I'm at work. There are a lot of customers, so I don't think I can spend any more minutes pandering to you.""Oh you have become quite stiff have you not, Max?" James said to him in a sort of mocking manner. "But fine, I
