“ James, wake up! Wake up!”- Anna shooved him off the couch. “Anna, I want to sleep a little bit. My head aches and I need some rest.”- he grumbled a little rolling from one point to another. “I know you want to rest but have you seen what says the time. It's past 9 am and here you are still snoring like a pig.”- she placed her phone on his face. “Now, it's still 6 am woman. Stop exaggerating and allow me sleep a little while. I still have a lot of things to do.”- he rolled over to the other side of the couch“James, take a look at what says the time. Do you know that your so called employees are waiting for you right now?”He made use of his hands to clean the dirt from his eyes and yawned before opening it, “Am I seeing the time correctly or someone has manipulated the time?”“No one manipulated the time at all your love for sleep is the cause of your lateness.”- she retracted her phone back to her breast pocket and head over to the kitchen. “Shit! I'm freaking late and today is
“Let me hand over the phone to him so that he can make his request to you.”- he placed the phone over to Mason who was still sitting on the floor feeling so downcast. Mason's hands started shaking due to some panic attacks so he struggled to speak out because he knew that the file was nowhere to be found. “My friend, will you speak up and stop wasting our time? Where the hell did you keep the file so that she can bring it to you?” “Uhmmm.. Louisa, you can check my drawer there you'll find it.”- his hands shook in fear as he held the phone. “Alright! I'm heading there already to check for the file.” “Walk fast young lady and tell us if it's there or not.”- Michael ordered her while pacing around in the room from one point to another. “I'm trying so hard sir but I haven't seen anything like a file in his drawer.”- she responded to him. “Check very well Louisa you can also ask another staff member to check it out for you.” “Sir, we've pulled out everything in the drawer yet th
“Fine! You have the floor now you can make use of it and tell us how stupid you are.” Jason triggered her with his words. “Well! I'm sure that immediately you hear what I'm about to say you'll be the happiest man ever after.” She hissed at him with her small eyes looking at him from his head to his toe. “Do you know what I have nothing else to say to you right now. For those of you who would love to hear the good news I'm about to spill out kindly listen very well.”“That's for those of them that don't know what exactly they can do with their time.”- he responded to her. “Jason! Can you just allow me to speak for crying out loud?” She shouted at him at the top of her voice. “No! I won't allow you to speak as long as you don't face your work. This is working hours and there you are gossiping this early.”“How is that any of your business Mr. Know it all.” She rolled her chair around“It is my business and as far as we are both colleagues there is nothing left to form about.”“Jason
CHAPTER: Micheal cleared his throat, “uhmmm… I don't have a problem with it and I must say that you outdid yourself.” “If only he knew what I had to go through just to secure this then he'll have to acknowledge me better.” He spoke to his inner self with his head shaking. “So, What does that means Micheal? Do I have to still leave the company and head back to my janitors business or I still have the opportunity to work for you once more?” he raised the side of his eyebrow looking at him directly into his eyeballs. Micheal stood up from his desk after copying the file to his flash drive, “The question should be, do you still want to work for us or not?” “I think for me to consider the offer that you are offering me than you have to tender it with an apology letter.” “I thought I've apologized already so why do I have to still apologize to you after everything.” “Micheal you ridiculed me and seized my speech so I have to really consider if I'll grant your apology or not.” “Oh!
“Louisa, this isn't your business and I don't think I have to explain myself to you as long as Mason isn't bothered about it.” Jason tried defending himself. “Whatever!” She hissed at him and gave her undivided attention to her personal computer. “Well! I have something important to ask you all and I don't mean for you all to misunderstand me at all.” He pleaded with them before spilling out. Precious walked just as he was about to spill the tea and went over to have her seat. “Look at her. See the way she is even walking like a curved earthworm.” Louisa spoke to herself silently. “I'm glad you came at the right time precious. I was about to say something very important and I need you all to be here before I spill out.”“Okay! You can go on since we are all here together.” Precious responded to him. “Thank you very much for your nice gesture but before I ask you all about what I want to ask. Please, I'd plead with you all to tell me the truth.”Louisa looked at him and scoffed o
Jason chuckled out loud, “I've always known you to be a loser, Louisa. Here you are giving us false hopes of how things are going to happen but guess what he is now in a higher position than both of us.” “You must be out of your mind for saying this Jason. At least I'm a loser but what are you? You are nothing but a betrayal and that's final.” She stomped out of the office in anger. “Congratulations, Mason.” His colleagues all congratulated him one after the other. “Thank you all. This means so much to me and you all.” He smiled weakly. Precious walked up to him and said, “Congratulations Mason. You deserve this and you earned it. At least I'm grateful to God that you got this promotion so that we'll be able to rest from Louisa's threat” “You don't have to mention about that over here. I wasn't even expecting that I'll get promoted soon not after what I've been through in here.” “I guess Mr. Micheal wanted to sweep you off your feet which he later did. I'm happy for you and I
Mason walked straight up to his car where he parked it and hopped into it. He inserted his car keys in it as he was about to zoom off and he heard a knock on his window. Knock! Knock! Mason rolled down his window, “Precious, are you still around?” “Yes! I've been standing out there at the bus stop waiting for the next car to come pick me up but I haven't even seen a glance of his car.” she poured out her complaint to him. “So, what do you plan on doing as you can see the weather is about to change and within an hour there'll be a heavy downpour.” “Exactly! That’s the major reason I’m standing right here beside your car.” she snapped her fingers in the air to grab his attention. “Huh?” he popped his head out trying to understand what she meant by that. “I know this is too much for me to ask from you but can you please drop me off at the next bus stop so that I can take a cab pretty close to my apartment?” she begged him with her hands rubbing each other. “I.. I.. don’t think…
He coughed out slightly as soon as he heard her question,” What are you trying to say?”She placed her hands slowly on his hands, “Listen to me Mason, whatever you tell me dies here and remain here forever. I want to get to know you more and that’s all I’m asking from you as well.”“I understand what you are trying to say and the place you are coming from but your question sounds as if there is something you’ve heard about me.”“I didn’t hear anything about you, Mason and if at all I heard something fishy about you I’ll be the one to come tell you first,” she assured him.“Thank you very much, Precious. Please do well to call my attention once you’ve seen that I’m almost at your bus stop.”“Sure, I will do that but you haven’t still answered the question I asked you earlier. Are you trying to avoid it knowing full well that it’s a harmless question?” she pushed back the question to him.Mason being calculative with the question she asked him thought about it for a minute before answer
