Chapter 31Start living your life.Mona sat down on the stand before the counter, her head supported by her hand. She couldn't stop smiling after what had happened in Brandley's office. She was too shy to look him in the eye after the kiss, Brandley teased endlessly for being a shy fish.She wondered why he nicknamed her "fish" when she doesn't act like one. Everything that comes out of his mouth is always cute except for the time he was angry."Would you stop smiling like a fool and give me a helping hand?" Ariel said, looking at her friend as if she had lost it."Join you, with this kind of dress I'm wearing, besides I'm a customer today and not a worker. It's not like you are paying me for all the work I'm doing" Mona said with a straight face.Ariel acted like she wanted to hit her with the tray in her hand."Well you were the one who doesn't want to be paid, guess your man has so much money that the one you earn is just like a drop of water in the ocean" Ariel said winking at her
Beware of her!Brandley got home exhausted and drained, it was as if his enemies had chosen today to attack him when he's fully unprepared. Today was a crazy day to be remembered in his history. He chuckled at the thought.Just when he thought he was done with the bullshit, Murphy entered his office. It seems the man has been waiting for a perfect opportunity to bring that damn business idea to him.He never knew Jacob would be so cunning in his dealing with him, using his Uncle against him. Murphy brought the same project he rejected two weeks back to him, for signature saying it would boost the business. It was Jacob's doing. He doesn't understand the reason the man was hellbent on getting a contract with his company. He was surprised though, the man was too greedy for his own good. The bonus attached to the contract his company offers to their partners wasn't small enough to make a greedy man jump over the fence.He knew what to do in this case though, he would rewrite the contra
Damnit!Monday 9:00 AMJacob was seated behind his desk, working on his computer when an email popped up. He clicked on it to see what it was. His face scrunched up in disgust and anger."Damnit!" He bangs the table real hard. What game does Brandley think he is playing with him huh? He removed all the bigger bonuses and left the smaller ones, is he trying his patience or what.He took his tab and dialed his number, it rang twice before Brandley answered the call."Good day sir, how may I help you" Brandley said even though he knew all this was about the contract."How may you help me? What's the meaning of that contract you sent to me? I understand that you probably might have made a mistake" Jacob tried to hide the anger in his voice but failed miserably."I'm sure this wasn't the first time you received a contract, whatever is written there is what it means. Do have a great day ahead, thanks for contacting our company" Brandley ended the call with a smirk on his face."Ugh this gu
Their first meeting."Are you sure she will love this? I mean I can get another gift for her" Mona asked, checking the gift in her hand once again with doubt."Mama you worry too much, even if she doesn't like it she won't reject it" Brandley said, ensuring her.They both sat down in the living room with Bobby sitting by the side, eyes glued to the TV. Mona sat down waiting for the arrival of her in-law, Brandley didn't give anything away concerning loving or caring about her, he just treated her civilly.Oops, damn this week for putting her on edge. Same with the job hunt and now her mother-in-law is coming and she has to meet with Dean again.A reminder of how she got started with all the marriage contracts. She sighed heavily holding on to the small gift in her hand.The sound of a car engine in the compound made Mona sprang to her feet, she went to the window to confirm if it was them and she was right. She walked back to her former seat."Mona, can please calm down and stop send
Don't you ever listen?12 AMMona walked out of the room to the kitchen, everywhere was silent, the only sound that could be heard was from the big Italian clock. She lost her sleep after Brandley told her she can't work at HN company. At least he could have given her a solid reason why she can't work there.He just gave his command and went to sleep. What kind of a person is he? Now she has lost her sleep and he's busy snoring in bed. Mona opened the fridge, poured cold water into a glass of water and gulped it down her throat. It was relieving.She moved to the cabinet and started bringing out the things she would need for baking. She learnt how to bake cakes when Bobby was fifteen. Two years ago. She had wanted to do something else for him apart from the regular gift she normally gave him.Baking is like a way of escape for her, to put her mind off and at ease.She had set the gas, when she heard a light footsteps behind her. She looked back slowly, it was Stella, feeling a little
First Day At Work"Awww today is going to be so much fun" Mona said to herself, dancing before the dressing mirror.She can't wait to be out there, working her ass off and dropping dead at night just like Brandley. It's crazy to think of dropping dead but she couldn't help it. The image of Brandley kissing her cheek wishing her a great day on her first day at work, makes her cheek red with blushes.Mona slipped on her sleek, black pencil dress, the fabric hugging her curves in all the right places. The dress fell just above her knees, its simplicity belied by the subtle flair of its flared hem. A delicate silver belt cinched at her waist, accentuating her slender figure. The dress's modest neckline framed her face, drawing attention to her bright smile and sparkling eyes. As she buttoned up the cap sleeves, Mona felt a sense of professionalism wash over her. She paired the dress with low heels and a simple silver necklace, her outfit exuding understated elegance. With a final glance
Chapter 37Quit if it's getting too hard.5 PMMona was surprised to meet Brandley at home, what is he doing at home, she muses. He was in the bar section, his eyes rolling around on his laptop. Mona tried to tiptoed silently to escape his presence but was caught in the act.Brandley waved at her, he left the office earlier today to make sure that is okay with her. And it seems so, if not she wouldn't try to walk past him without saying anything. Such an attitude!"Hey, would you change into something more comfortable?" Mona said walking away.Brandley's eyes caught the redness on her ankle, as she was running around in that hill. She's supposed to wear a flat shoe because her job would be too demanding.He left where he was sitting and went towards the TV drawer to take the balm he kept there.Mona heaved a sigh of relief, "that was very awkward" she said taking off her clothes.She took off her shoes and noticed the bruise on her angle, she was surprised because she didn't feel it.
You never learn!Alex walked angrily into his bedroom, Via was sitting on the bed picking her nails. She deliberately ignored the presence of her husband."Via why I haven't done laundry, it's been hours since I left for work and the laundry is still undone. What the hell is wrong with you" Alex said angrily, his hand coiled up in fist."Wait, are you for real? You mean the laundry is yet undone, that bitch! I clearly told her to do it before stepping out." Via answered, hitting the bed in anger.Alex breathes in and out, it's obvious that the both of them can't be angry at once."It's just laundry, that's the least you can do for this household you know. You never learn, do you" Alex said in a mocking voice."What do you think, you didn't marry me to do your dirty chores for you. And just because you've started working at the office didn't make you any more important" Via said, cocking her head to the side."Oh really, tell me about Mrs Via Morgan. I guess you actually have some idea
