“Wow! Perfecto!” Anna said as she scoffed and mockingly clapped her hands above her head.“Well done Mr lover boy, always showing up on time…congratulations the hero of the day” she said scornfully to Damien.“I don't blame you, if you had something good to do for this miserable God forsaken life, I'm sure you won't always be here in time to rescue this bitch!” Anna said cursing.Damien ignored her as he parted Stella's hair aside and keenly staring at her face like he was searching for something missing. He gently turned her arm observing every part of it, checking her face again to be sure. He did all these ignoring the presence of Anna and her boyfriend, ken.Stella gazed at Damien with a stunned look, as she got confused to why he is acting that way, she wondered what it is he is looking for.“Hey! Damien” she chuckled“What is it? What are you looking for?” She asked.“ I hope these fools didn't hurt you? Are you okay?” Damien asked, concerned“Look at this wretched beggar acting
“You see what you've caused?”. Sarah said as she angrily poked her index finger on his forehead, making his head tilt backwards a bit.“I warned you against this revenge but you would listen, now just take a look at how we were all embarrassed”, she continued“I even had to play along to cover my shame. Ouch” she said as she hid her palm on her forehead frustratedI have said I am sorry, I since didn't know they will harass you, I don't even know if they knew we were here” Damien apologized with sincerity in his eyes.“You apologize like you will ever change your mind, but no! You are just too stubborn to listen”. Stella said, as she gave up on trying to talk Damien to stop with his plansHe smiled at her as she looked frustrated yet adorable, he moved closer to her, wrapped his right arm around her waist, from her side and gently moved her to where the chairs are.He adjusted the chair backward as he gestured at her to sit. He then beckoned on the waitress to serve them.“What will
It's Monday, the world's most busy and official day. Damien woke up to his alarm clock, feeling so dizzy and having a migraine from last night's event.He decided to rest a bit so the pains could reduce.“Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr………..” the alarm clock rang a few minutes later, so loud, piercing and jarring that it made Damien jolt out of bed.“Oooo… can you ever stop being annoying?” He rhetorically asked, as if he was talking to a living being.“What! It's 8.00am already? Oh no I am so late and I have a presentation today” Damien freaked out when he noticed he was running late.He quickly rushed out of the bed, skipped his morning workout because there was time, brushed his teeth and quickly freshened up.Today he didn't take time to select what he wanted to wear, he just picked up a navy blue blazer and a black shoe that matched his black wrist watch.Just something simple, he thought.As he quickly rushed down stairs to get to his car.“Good morning sir” Hilary greeted, as he almost bumped i
It's a working day and a sunny morning. Many people have gone to work, some planning for the week.But for the Blackwood's, it's just another day to continue their attack on Damien, as they planned to convince Mr Rosario to sack Damien, not knowing Mr Rosario and Damien are one person.Still feeling very sleepy, Anna sluggishly walked down the stairs still on her nightgown.“Anna, go upstairs and freshen up first before you can join us for breakfast.” Mrs Blackwood orders her daughter.“Mom……” Anna shrugs as she stamps her foot frustration as she goes to her room to freshen up.Few minutes later everyone was at the Dining, they all ate quietly.After eating Mr Blackwood called his wife and daughter Anna for a brief meeting.“So I will go and submit my proposal today at D.F company again but this time, I'll make sure I meet the CEO directly so that that wretched beggar won't have the opportunity to ruin my chances again”. Mr Blackwood addressed.“Honey that fool will not succeed this
At D.F company, Mr Blackwood sits in the waiting room where the receptionist is, for almost four hours without noticing he had stayed that long, because he was busy with his phone, chatting with his family, gossiping about Damien and planning how they will deal with him after Mr Blackwood has gotten the job.Few minutes into the chat (exactly what Blackwood thought) he raised his head from his phone and looked at the wall clock hanging on the wall in front of him. It's almost four hours gone already.“No this is not possible, I just stared at my phone for thirty minutes, I am sure that the wall clock is bad.” He muttered“Hey, excuse me,” he said, referring to Beatrice, the receptionist.“You need to fix this wall clock, it could be the battery or something is wrong with it. I don't know why a big company like this will ignore such a thing, don't you know the wall clock is one of the first things someone will notice when they come in here? What if they don't have a wrist watch of thei
Meanwhile while all this was going on at Damien's office,Damien went to visit Stella at home because she called in sick.On his way there, he got a call from Mr Hardy“Hello, Mr Rosario, Mr Blackwood is here and he is making a scene, what should I do?” Mr Hardy asked at the other end of the phone.“How long has he been there?” Damien asked“It's up to four hours boss,” Mr Hardy answered.“How come I wasn't aware?” Damien asked, confused.“Well boss, he was here when you were in your office, so I thought you would see him as you stepped out,” Mr Hardy explained.Immediately,Damien recalled that when he had rushed out of the office, he noticed an elderly man at the waiting room that was so focused on his phone. He was wondering why the man was that focused but he didn't bother to ask because he was rushing to meet Stella because she sounded weak on the phone.“ Oh so he was the man I met downstairs?” Damien asked.“ Yes boss, so what should I tell him?” Mr Hardy asked.“Mr Hardy please
“Please sir can you kindly extend the time, give me some time please, I will pay” Ken pleaded to the person at the other end of the call“I have given you enough time, yet you've refused to return the loan, I'll give you another six-month but you must pay twenty percent interest” the person at the other end replied“What! Why twenty percent? That is too much, please reconsider. Ken tried to negotiate but the call was hung up.“Where exactly does this man want me to get an extra twenty percent from? He hasn't seen the one loaned yet he is talking about twenty percent interest, am I supposed to steal that?” Ken said frustrated.He fiercely used the back of his right hand and pushed down all the documents from his table, stormed his feet on the floor, hit the wall and angrily walked out of his office as he went out to clear his head.Years back, Ken had big dreams, the dream to start a big company. But he had no funds yet he was too desperate.Growing up, Ken had almost everything he wa
At home, Mrs Blackwood and Anna were having their dinner, when they heard the screech sound of Mr Blackwood's car. They quickly rushed out to meet him as they were so eager to hear the good news.“Welcome honey”Welcome Dad” Mrs Blackwood and Anna both chorused in unison.Mr Blackwood just looked at them and gave a faint smile as he walked past them without saying a word.Mrs Blackwood and Anna both turned and looked at each other, amazed and confused by what just happened.“What could be wrong mom” Anna asked concerned.“I don't know” Mrs Blackwood shrugged as she answered her concerned daughter.“Well we can only find out if we go there and ask him,” Mrs Blackwood said.When they got insidez they met Mr Blackwood seated on the couch, looking at the ceiling, lost in thoughts.Mrs Blackwood got closer to him and sat by his side as she held his hands.“What is going on Huh? What happened again? Didn't Mr Rosario attend to you?” she asked.But Mr Blackwood didn't answer. He kept starin
