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
Don't go near him."Bobby Martin to the principal's office" the speaker said, releasing echoes in the air."That's you, did you break any of the school rules" his classmates asked him, he shook his head wondering what the summon is all about.The walk to the principal office took five minutes which seemed like forever to him, the feeling of apprehension washed over him. He shoved his hand into his long blue trouser, he didn't remember doing anything wrong or bullying anyone. He quickened his pace.Mrs Wilson was in the big office, painted with blue and white relating to the school uniform. Her big eyes were hidden behind the glasses she was wearing. Dressed in red trousers and a white shirt, her brown hair complimented her piercing brown eyes. Her presence instills fear in the students with just little effort.Bobby opened the door and bowed in greetings."You welcome, this man informed me that he's your father, even though I doubted it, he brought out DNA test and your birth history
Untold storyNo no this was wrong, can't her past just let her. Can't it just fucking let her breathe, she needs some space man with her past dancing before her. Mona sat quietly in her office, eyes glued to her work, not bothered about Alex's continuous stare. She so much needed the distraction. She had done more typing and mailing than she normally does. Skipping breakfast and not planning to eat for the rest of the day either."Are you planning suicide or what" she heard the voice asked but choose to ignore, it's not office related matter."Mona, I'm talking to you," Alex said, raising his voice at her."Hmm what do you say?" Mona answered absentmindedly, not looking at him, continuing typing."Are you okay? You haven't looked good since morning" Alex said relaxing in his chair."I'm fine sir" Mona replied with a smile, discouraging further conversation.Alex scoffs, he knows she has a way of cutting him off. He shouldn't be worried about her because he's none of his business.&&&
Martin's past.Martin sat on the swing together with his son, staring lovingly at his son. How long has it been now? It's been twelve years since he last saw his family. And it was because of his wife's selfish and thoughtless act.Mona had told him to leave the house or else she would report the case of his assault to the police station. Assault? He was the one who was being treated unjustly in his own house by the woman he called his one.Was he so blinded by love that made him ignore the red flags even though it was so glaring. Staring right at him in the face but choosing to ignore it, that's how gullible he was then. He had no other choice than to do as told, all effort to explain to his daughter that things weren't true as she sees it proved abortive. Mona had only seen the situation from her mother's side. His wife, Laura, had manipulated the kids to her own advantage, making him the bad man.How time had gone and he couldn't endure the thought of not being with his family any
He cares.Brandley sat in his lounge outside the building, enjoying the cool breeze of the night. Lost in his thoughts, it's been three days since the incident at the dining room. Mona didn't change in her attitude towards him nor did she say anything about it.Maybe she doesn't consider him as someone she could rely on. He was more afraid of her acting numb when he knew a lot might be running through her mind. He hates being caught up in her web without knowing what to do.She acts as if everything is okay with her even though it's obvious that she was just faking it. Stella had also noticed the changes in her and mentioned it to Brandley, thinking the both had unresolved issues, but he told her it wasn't about him. This is crazy, he muses.And just when he thought everything was beginning to go fine between them her father had to show up and ruin things for him. He was trying to be selfish but it's the truth.Mona had developed a habit of coming late to the house when everyone els
Good news Alex hopped into his office after receiving the news of traveling to the State from his father. His joy was new and bound. This is what he is cut out for and not office work. He felt like he was in cloud nine, he only had a day to prepare for his trip. He sat down in his office humming to himself.Mona cast a suspicious gaze at him, wondering what could have put him in such a happy mood. It's surprising that such a grumpy person knows what happiness is.She also felt different and alive. Last night didn't end up like she had expected. Her heart couldn't stop beating wildly for Brandley. She's falling deeper and deeper each day for him. Wouldn't be surprised to be hurt once the one year contract is over.Brandley hasn't confessed liking her, but the way he treated her speaks a lot. They both slept on the same bed instead of the normal routine, being cuddled by the man you love felt like heaven. She wishes daybreak never comes.He wasn't in bed when she woke up in the morning
