Brittany stood still for what felt like minutes, staring directly at this young man. She was slowly getting upset. She could not have this man lose his job simply because of her. That guilt will never leave her in a long time."Are you actually going to say no to me? Do you know that I hold the power to shut this restaurant down for good?" "I know that you do.""So then what makes you think that you can actually say no to me? What is giving you such audacity to say no to my wish?""I am looking after my business miss. If it collapse because of this idiot, I don't think I will take it so easy on him. So instead of waiting till something terrible happens and I have to kill him, why don't I just remove him at once?" "Make him work as a cleaner. Trust me when I tell you this, he will not hurt your company in any way if he is working as a cleaner. He will not even be able to make any important decision. So how then will he be able to destroy your company?" The boss took a few minutes to
Levi did not notice when his assistant stood before him wearing his big burgundy glasses that reminded him of that of his grand mom. She stood like a man, with the composure and confidence that he had only ever seen in men. He loved it so much that he was finally seeing it in a woman. The woman, after having stood for about a minute without getting any acknowledgement, cleared her throat. Immediately, Levi's head flew up. He had been so engrossed with his work that he did not even notice the presence of another human being. "Oh, Alicia what are you doing here?" He asked when he saw her standing close to his table. The woman couldn't see properly, even with her big round glasses she was still partly blind. For that reason, she needed to stand very clear to the person she talked to in order to see the person and know that the person is following her. "Well, good afternoon sir. I wanted to inform you that the is a certain Miss Brittany outside waiting for you. I tried your intercom bu
Levi looked perplexed. She could not actually be feeling that way, could she? She could not believe that he did not care about her? "What?" His voice came out as a whisper as he stood up to go meet her. "You can't actually believe that, can you? You don't actually think that I am not crazy and madly in love with you, right?" "Why else would you not tell me about it? Why else would you like to me about Ivy if you were not planning to elope with her at some point?" "Elope with her?! I can't even elope with her. What the hell will happen to my uncle's company if I did that?" "I don't know. Maybe your plan is to train Steven till he is very good and then you can leave so that your uncle won't be too stranded.""Okay, that is crazy talk. Listen to me now. I am not going anywhere okay. I am not planning to elope with anyone. I am not planning to leave with that girl, come on now. I thought I was doing the right thing by not telling you." "How? How could that have been the right thing?
"Okay, what exactly do you think you are doing?" Brittany yelled back at her. "I am doing everything possible to ensure that you pay for this. Do you know how important these documents were and now because of you, they are ruined!" The woman complained bitterly. "Ma, with all due respect, these papers are not ruined. It is so obvious that they are still in a very good condition. So what is all these about?" She asked. But the woman did not answer her because immediately, the security men that she had called for arrived. "Ma, we heard your distress call. Is everything okay?" One of them spoke and Brittany assumed that he was the leader. "Well, everything would have been okay but this woman just had to barge into my and she ruined my papers. These papers are very important and the CEO personally asked for them. I need her to be evacuated from this premises this instant!" "What?! Okay, Mr. Security man, please take the document from her hand and tell her to show you where the docum
"You are awfully confident for a woman who is about to be embarrassed in the presence of one of the most powerful person in this world." "Well, I will hate to be embrassed like that but I have a feeling that your boss is a very sensible man and he will definitely chose the right choice. Now, shall we?" Brittany said with a smile on her face. "Okay. Let's. But let it be known that I tried to warn you against this stupid act." Brittany kept mute as she walked towards Levi's office and she prayed that Steven would not come out to see her. If that happened, then all her plans to get what she wanted would be ruined. Slowly, the woman moved into the room as the door got open. And the look on Levi's face was one she was not expecting to see. He looked around the room skeptically, trying to understand why almost every security man in the company was suddenly in his office. He could not fathom what was happening but he saw Brittany standing in the midst of them and something immediately t
"Sir, what did you just say? Did you just say that she is your girlfriend?" The woman asked surprised. "Yes I did. Do you have a problem with that? Because if you do, the are always ways to remedy that." "No sir," the woman caught on fast to what Levi meant. "I don't have any problem with that at all sir. As a matter of fact, I am even amazed. I just did not expect it, that's all." "Yeah, well, that's the truth. Now if you all don't mind, I will love for you to wait outside while I talk to my woman in private." Levi commanded them and watched sternly as they all left. As soon as they left, Levi turned to look at Brittany who had a soft gaze on her face, one that showed that she had been smiling. "Tell me, what exactly is going on here?" Levi asked. "I have no idea what you are talking about." Immediately, Levi arched his eyebrow. "Really, Bri? You don't know what is happening here?" "I don't. Listen, I went to dump things and then wash my hands and out of no where, the woman j
The woman looked sternly at her and didn't know if she should get upset or worried. "Are you by any chance threatening me?" She asked "I am telling you to stay far away from me. As it stands right now, I am not in the mood for any sort of drama. But if you want a war, I am more than ready to give it to you but if you don't, I advise you avoid me and everything around me. Have I made myself perfectly clear to you?" Brittany asked. "You little brat, I will not be threatened into this." "Well do whatever you want. But just know that it's almost ten minutes since your boss said you should come in and trust me, he isn't getting any happier. So if you want to stay here and bater words with me, please continue but have it at the back of your mind that you may actually lose your job." "You have gone absolutely insane, you know that right?" The woman said as she picked up the document and began heading inside the office. ***Brittany did not waste that much time in the bathroom. She fini
"Look if I am to be completely honest with you right now. I don't completely like the way you are sounding. It seems like you are too eager to get this done. And that is the same way Natalie was before she went out of her way to ruin things for us.""Listen to me, Natalie is not the type to be trusted. I am. But I am telling you the honest truth, if we don't act fast and now! We are going to lose everything we had ever wanted." "No, I think it's too risky for us to go back into the water like that. I think we still need to test the waters and you know, find out if there is anything that can be done to secure the kind of future we want." "Without Levi?!" Both girls said simultaneously as if in complete shock. "Maybe! I mean, look at what this is doing to us. We can't even think straight because of how messed up this all is. I say we restrategize and just find another way." "Okay, there is no other way. We have tried everything there is and yet somehow, poverty still lingers with us
