Sophie yelled at Leonard. She was very mad at him. “I definitely know what you are. You are nothing but a cheat!” She accused him with every hint of anger in her voice.“You have finally succeeded in tipping the judges to be in your favor, huh?” Leonard couldn't help but laugh at her stupidity. He wondered how it was possible for a person to be so stupid.Emma and Ava were standing beside Leonard. Ava wasn't able to understand what was going on between her parents. She kept watching helplessly.But she was strong enough not to shed a tear. Emma cuddled her to herself and made sure she was okay.Estelle and Antonio were also standing beside Leonard.Sophie was even more mad at how they all remained silent despite their presence in the argument.Her voice spelt unquenchable anger. “How does Leonard here intend to raise this child of his?” She pointed at Ava. She wouldn't stop yelling. Now it was obvious that she was bent on making everyone around her feel miserable.Throughout the co
Antonio arrived at the exquisite looking bar that he and his friends picked out specially for tonight.He was waiting for them so they could continue their usual drinking spree.He had been stressed up lately and there was nothing like sitting around his friends and just having a good time getting drunk without a worry in the world.He saw an empty table at the corner which was the perfect size for all of them to sit.”Perfect!” He exclaimed and went ahead to sit down to wait for his fellows to arrive. Quite a while had now passed by and Antonio was still left waiting and his thread of patience was wearing thin and his annoyance increased at every minute that passed by.He didn't understand why they were still taking so much time when the agreed time for them to arrive had come and passed by.His annoyance was now turning into anger .He then decided to call them and each of them gave him some sort of flimsy excuse of how busy they were and urgent things suddenly came up and it just
"So what are you going to do about the party? " Estelle asked her brother as she slumped onto the chair in his office with a light exhale. Leonard looked at her in confusion, he didn't remember hearing anything about a party, and he couldn't recall reading anything relating to that in the company files, "what do you mean by that? Which party are you talking about or what are you referring to? ""What? " Estelle said in shock and sat up right, "are you really telling me that you do not know anything about the party? ""No I don't know, I mean maybe I have heard about it before or maybe I forgot or something, you know lately a lot of things have been on my mind and it would be nothing short of a miracle for me to even remember something so simple, is the party anything important? If it is not then we can as well just forget about it and find a lot more important and edifying things to do with our time..." Leonard answered casually and turned back to his laptop. "Really? I cannot belie
On the day of the dinner party or the company party a lot of things had been put in place, many different activities ranging from auctioning, to making portraits or modeling and painting, most of which were out in place for the purpose of fundraising. Many investors and clients both old and new attend the party and most of them enjoyed it, many were more interested in the spectacle and some were entranced by the food while others remained strictly formal and business minded, among those who remained business minded was one Mr Griffin, Mr Griffin was a very wealthy investor who had heard about the party from a few of his colleagues, employees and even shareholders, he was very passionate about his work and planned to be there only to meet with the head of the company and possibly solidify some form of relationship with the head of the company one way or another. Not only was he familiar with the company, but he was also familiar with a few employees in the company and also with Anton
Leonard tried to remain standing, as stoic as he could, but the pain in his heart quickly developed into jealousy and into a quick feeling of contempt towards the person Emma had brought with her to the party. "Emma, would you please come with me, I have a few questions to ask you regarding the reports you handed over to me earlier, " Leonard said, racking through his mind to find any possible reason to call her to himself and have a word with her privately. He then hurried back to his office before anyone could ask him any questions. In his mind he wondered Why he was feeling like that but he decided not to bother too much about it and tried to force down whatever feelings he had that seemed to be developing towards her. "Isn't this supposed to be a party of sorts? I mean that's what you told me, " Emma's friend asked and turned to face her with a rather confused expression on his face."I do not understand why your boss could possibly need you to attend to business or another lik
Before long there was a knock on the door, and then three successive knocks followed after. "Come in, " Leonard said, as he assumed it to be Emma who was at the door, but then he was surprised to see someone completely different walk into his office, she was the lady dressed in a peplum blue gown, he hadn't really focused much on her but he knew who she was, the lady who had really strike an impression on him and the one that Antonio had introduced him to along with her father Mr Griffin. She was Alicia, but why was she here? He asked himself inwardly, "Alicia? What are you doing here? You should be at the party enjoying yourself or is there something that you need? "Little beads of sweat began to form on his body as he thought back to what his sister had said earlier. "No actually, I am here for a different purpose entirely, " Alicia replied rather vaguely. "And what purpose is that? " Leonard asked, he was gradually feeling more and more uncomfortable and began to wonder exactly
Emma walked down from Leonard's office with a downcast expression, her mind still thinking about what she had witnessed, and she wondered if there was really anything going on between both of them, the girl whose name was Alicia and Leonard. She wasn't exactly sure why she was even concerning herself with him however, and she couldn't fathom the feeling she was having even at that moment, but she couldn't help it. "Hey, " her friend said and ran towards her when he saw her, pulling her out of her reverie and back to reality, "are you alright? ""Yes I'm fine, " Emma replied tersely, "but maybe just a little bit tired and weak. "Her friend held her gently and led her back to her vehicle, "it's probably because of how much work you've been doing since the start of the day, don't you think that perhaps you are overworking yourself even a little bit I mean you still have to go and take care of your sister's daughter Ava again when you get home. ""No it's alright, I'll be fine, " Emma
On the morning of the first working day of the following week, Alicia walked into the compound with a smile on her face and walked up the stairs to Leonard's office. She had put on her best attire and had gotten there as early as she could. "Come in, " Leonard said to her when she knocked and greeted her warmly with a smile as she walked into the room, "Alicia, I am glad to see you today, you look ready to work. ""Thank you sir, I want you to know that I take this very seriously and I intend to put in my very best into any work you wish to assign to me, " Alicia replied solemnly. "That's good, because I am going to be frank with you, I have got a lot of work for you to do today, but don't be alarmed it's just how it is, as a newbie there's a lot you need to learn regarding the job regardless of how long you wish to continue the work, even if you are only going to be working here till the end of the year or less there are things every intern must know, " Leonard replied, "I believe
