"He looks cute with a smile. I must have him." A young woman seated opposite Elliot's chair reasoned inwardly. "Meeting dismissed." Elliot announced slowly, his voice spreading out to every corner of the room, and then he continued, "And you too Director Ko." He said.Director Ko was relieved, he felt like an heavy weight was removed from his heart. His once racing heart lessened little by little. Hie once weak knees were becoming strong, as he became more relieved. He felt like he was in cloud nine and happiness enveloped his whole body, hastily, he walked out.Immediately they were all out, Elliot's faced Andrew then pointed at the chair opposite it in which the woman sat. Andrew bowed slightly and walked towards the seat hurriedly."Let's hear your suggestion, Andrew." He permitted him.Andrew cleared his throat delicately, "Why don't you employ that woman here at this company? Then you can keep her here at your watch. Just a suggestion." Andrew said, his eyes fixated at Elliot's.
Elliot snapped the moment he remembered something, "Andrew," He yelled delicately, Andrew looked back at him expectantly. "Can you keep me being the CEO a secret to her till I say it's okay to tell her?"Andrew nodded, smiled a little, then walked out of the room. *********Hannah slumped tiredly at the office chair, her eyes flustered in pains, little stands of water shimmered in her eyes.She shook her head painfully, her eyes closing little by little. The office chair bounced back softly at her back as she rested peacefully."Hannah?" A thin, angelic voice called out suspiciously as she saw Hannah sleeping uncomfortably on her seat.Hannah flustered her eyes open slowly, adjusting her body on the chair. Weakly, she stared at the woman who called her name few seconds ago in curiosity, "Beatrice, what is it!" She asked weakly, her face turning into a slight frown.Her head banged loudly, turmoils everywhere. The woman looked at her gently with pitiful eyes, then
She forced her legs up and strode to the door, pushing it slightly but instead it caught the attention if everyone including Lady Hart. Lady Hart glared at her grand-daughter not minding the relationship they both hold. Her eyes were red with anger, and her face boiled with anger.The room felt awkward, and tense for those in it. They Stared in awe, they couldn't get thier eyes off the duo. Hannah shivered internally, digging the emotions to deep down inside her. Her legs were weak but they were not visible. "Why are you late?" Lady Hart forced those words from her mouth in great anger. She looked like an hungry lion ready to devour her prey any minute. Hannah stood firm, making the people shocked. "I was having a mental breakdown." She decided to say the truth.Lady Hart was confused, but she never showed that she was confused, her once wrinkled face in anger lessened a bit, then her arm filled with beads and jewelries of all sorts pointed at a chair at the middle seat.Hannah weak
Lady Hart's attention swept over to the woman in hatred, her eyes scanned the woman in just less than a second before she glared, "And who are you to speak?" She questioned the woman who just stared on in awe.Everyone was in shock and all eyes were on the woman who spoke a while ago, her pride from before turned shallow, her face was pale and she couldn't even get herself to speak a single word. She sat there, her head bowed slightly not uttering anything.Not getting a response, Lady Hart hissed in disgust before she cleared her throat, "Now, as I was saying before that sheep interrupted." She said."And what of the assignment I assigned to each one of you here, I haven't heard of any progress." She whined maturely. The people's eyes became damp once more. They usually hated the moments they needed to have company meetings with Lady Hart. It usually didn't do them any good.Her eyes turned red with rage once again, she couldn't become more angrier, she banged the table loudly causin
Her eyes didn't show any sign of pity or anything, it was just void which made her scared. She exhaled deeply then spoke again, "Please forgive me, and don't fire my colleague." She pleaded.And immediately, "Alright," Was heard in Lady Hart's mouth, then she smirked mischievously, "By the way, Hannah, who called you? By any chance Is it the man I introduced to you?" She asked, anticipating her answer.Hannah nodded slightly and could see the color of her Grandmother's eyes change immediately. Her eyes widened in fear as she fiddled with her fingers. "And who was it?" Lady Hart asked, her voice already growing louder slightly. Silence came upon the room, and Hannah couldn't answer her question, she knew she was officially done for so there was nothing to hide."Elliot," She announced. Her eyes fixated on her Grandmother's. She was scared of what her Grandmother would say.Lady Hart sat as calm on the chair, she didn't speak nor move and her eyes showed nothing, voidless as before.
Hannah walked out with her phone in her hands, all eyes of her colleagues were on her. They ran to meet her to check if she was okay because they all knew what Lady Hart could do. Thousands of questions were asked by her worrisome friends which made her happy."Hannah are you okay?" Beatrice asked, hugging her gently, then checking her body if there were scars or she was wounded. She smiled, nodding negatively."Hope you were not hurt?" Another asked."Please, don't mind whatever she says to you. You own your own life, so you live by it." A woman in her late thirties encouraged. "I'm leaving!" She suddenly announced.Everyone's eyes widened in shock, they all thought it was a joke until they saw her packing her stuffs. With a straight face, not regretting why she did that, she picked up her laptop and shoved some of her blue and red pens inside her bag. No one could say a thing, they just stared blankly at their one and only best friend leaving them in the wicked hands of Lady Hart.
"Don't call this number," She yelled those four words from her mouth and ended the call abruptly, not even waiting for him to finish what he was about to say.After two minutes, her phone shook vibrantly again, and anger washed through her entire body. Why couldn't Elliot respect her privacy, even for once! Her instincts pushed her to look at the caller ID only to see an unknown number. Curiosity peaked at her and she instantly answered the call."Is this Miss Hannah Hart?" The caller's husky voice sharply said at a go.More curiosity washed over her body as she managed and said, "Yes, why?" As she talked to the man, she had weird feelings about it, and her heart skipped a beat anytime she heard the husky voice speak."Don't you remember me?" He asked another question yet again. Hannah felt smitten, was this some kind of fraud or what? She has never seen or heard this voice before. 'Or maybe this man was playing a fast one on her' She thought, and if it was, she wasn't in any type o
She walked around slowly, turning back and forth to notice or even catch their expression as she spoke, "Ever since my husband, some of you's father and grandfather died, I took on the responsibility of being a grandmother, grandfather, father and mother to you all." She stopped in her tracks, looked backwards but unfortunately couldn't catch anyone's attention and continued, "But it seems like some people here don't appreciate the effort I put in." She continued and looked backwards only to catch confusion in everyone's face. "Why do you say that all of a sudden? Is there something you're meaning to tell us?" One of the young women said.Lady Hart stared at the woman who happened to be her first son's wife who said those words."And how dare you speak to me, your mother in law so rudely. Watch your tongue."The young woman nodded slowly as her husband stroked her shoulder."Now," Lady Hart continued as she continously tapped her legs on the floor and stopped when one of them to rais
