The CEO'S syndrome CHAPTER THIRTY SEVEN: 'Be the tough girl and win the man'
PLEASE LEAVE A REVIEW. THANK YOU FOR READING!"Phew! I've done a good job". Joseph wiped his hands dry as he self-appraised himself like he did all the cleaning alone. Omar, with a devilish smirk on his face, pushed Joseph to the freshly wiped surface intentionally. They had worked and prepared all that was needed for a little get together but Joseph tried to take all the glory for their hard work and he was only doing the next right action.Joseph produced a yelp as he fell towards the table he had just finished wiping and stained the glass with his prints in the process.Joseph turned to his friend and glared angrily as his nostrils flared in anger. He couldn't believe that his friend had made him soil the table he had spent what felt like a whole year to clean."The table won't clean itself", Omar shrugged his shoulders and walked away smugly.Joseph got to work and lamented bitterly as he wiped the table. He would get back at Omar when he least expected it, just as he did to him.
The CEO'S syndrome CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHT: She's beautiful.
PLEASE LEAVE A REVIEW. THANK YOU FOR READING!True to James' assurance, Joseph did come out but not as soon as they all thought. The boy had spent so much time away, so it was expected that he would join in before the first batch of meat was grilled but Joseph came too late. Rather too late for his liking. He had rushed a bath and washed his mouth-like he had not brushed in the morning and then proceeded to replace his former outfit with clean fresh ones, hopefully to see Angela in time. Joseph had no intention to waste time or be late but he came out later than anyone expected.But some inexcusable circumstances are to blame, he didn't like how he looked after wearing a fresh pair of sweat clothes. He believed himself too tall for the pants and the shirt seemed a little too tight for his liking so he changed into another. Angela would definitely not find him handsome, so he ended up changing a few more times like a teenager who was preparing for her first date. Not a HE but only th

PLEASE LEAVE A REVIEW. THANK YOU FOR READING!"Hmmm?", Angela turned so fast that she heard her neck creak and she was sure that others did as well."Please I need your help, I'm afraid Fyodor is not as good in cooking as he claimed to be", Sophia smiled at her friend and sent a glare towards Joseph.Joseph rolled his eyes. There's no need to play civil today. The troublemaker had done naught but to disrupt the tranquility in the air."Let's go", Angela stood up but was stopped from moving by Joseph's hand engulfing hers."I'm afraid, Angie and I need to get the game box", he presented a too strained smile to Sophia and waited for her to oppose.Sophia opened her mouth and closed it like a fish, she wasn't expecting Joseph to refuse. What manner of man caught checking out a woman openly would still have the guts to speak boldly?Obviously a shameless man like himself. Thus, her level of respect for him was further depleted.She opened her mouth to speak but was cut short by her Tea,

Wednesday did come. And no, Thursday did not appear after Tuesday. But Jospeh did not still relent, he prayed that an impromptu meeting would present itself in the evening or Angela would call to cancel.But it looked like none of those things were ever going to happen and the hour hand of the clock was speedily nearing six. They had planned to meet at five thirty and ride to his house in time for dinner at six.Meanwhile, Angela took permission from work and went home early to prepare. She wanted to look her best. She went shopping Tuesday evening and bought a new dress, nothing in her wardrobe beats the image she had pictured in her mind. She wanted to look abstract-like she had both tried to make an impression and at the same time wanted to keep things neutral. And Sophia played a major role, even though she complained repeatedly, that Angela didn't need to waste so much time and money, that she didn't need to look beautiful for Joseph, she followed her around and helped her mak
The CEO'S syndrome CHAPTER FORTY ONE: Winning Angela over.
"Come dear, you should adjust your makeup. A woman has no excuse for looking disoriented".Mrs Benjamin scolded. She was expecting Angela to excuse herself to the bathroom to adjust her makeup but the girl-seeing as she naturally screamed 'disoriented'-is totally okay with her disorganized state. She watched her freak out for more than ten minutes. Mrs Benjamin wondered if there were still humans who couldn't control their anxiety.Mrs Benjamin had a staff take Angela to the bathroom. Joseph reluctantly released her hand and was relieved that the bathroom excuse was not one of his mother's ploy to talk to Angela alone. He would not allow it. No private talks with Angela.Angela joined them on the table, a few minutes later, in time for the prayers to be said, only for his mother to begin another episode of her drama again."As the mother of the house, permit me to share the dish". Hilda smiled as she began to dish out the food. They had all taken a seat on the large dinning table wi

THANK YOU FOR READING! PLEASE LEAVE A REVIEW"Greece!" Omar shouted at the top of his voice like he was just coming to know of 'Greece'. "I'm going to Greece. My assistant and I found something interesting, we can talk when I'm back!".He hung up at once and he joined his assistant at the queue. They were both rushing to Anthens. His dependable, extremely reliable assistant had found a huge tip, which Omar had personally handed over to 'Mister man' who had provided account details managed in Athens.And so Omar was in a haste to catch the thief and he would stop at nothing to end the only reason he constantly suffered from headaches. And stomachaches and all forms of aches.Athens. That was where he was headed. The thief owned an account with the Bank of Greece and he was hoping they would comply, coupled with the connections he had in Greece. He told himself again, 'he was heading to Athens'.Once they were comfortably seated in the plane, with their seatbelts secured, Omar went thr
The CEO'S syndrome CHAPTER FORTY THREE: Such a beautiful heart.
THANK YOU FOR READING! PLEASE LEAVE A REVIEW.Aunt Meredith huffed in anger. She was going to give Sophia an earful. The girl had done it. Again!She wouldn't remember to wet the shrubs at the right time, it was past eleven in the morning and the soil was still wet like it just absorbed water. She marched straight to the kitchen. Sophia always was in the kitchen. She didn't understand the girl's close relationship with food. Perhaps it was her safe haven, but that was not the discussion for today, she was going to pull Sophia's hair out and her husband would do nothing but cry for his balding cousin.She opened her mouth to scream but closed it quietly as she caught sight of Sophia chopping beef in a manner that's totally unacceptable. None of her children deserved to be unhappy. It's unacceptable! Sophia sighed and packed the meat, only to arrange another set that needed chopping. "Sophie, what is wrong?", Aunty Meredith turned soft, she walked quietly and touched Sophia's shoulde
The CEO'S syndrome CHAPTER FORTY FOUR: Lesson still not learnt?
THANK YOU FOR READING! PLEASE LEAVE A REVIEW.Angela.Angela was all Joseph thought about, he couldn't focus at work. Even when Fyodor had stopped for lunch and bugged him throughout or when work would not allow him to rest his eyes for a few minutes. He just couldn't stop thinking of her. After the kiss and the dinner, they had not met. He had prayed earnestly to God to make them cross paths but it never happened, he just wanted to see her.He jerked, from his sitting position as a thought flew into his head. He had wasted so much time when all he had to do was to present himself at her workplace or her house.Her house sounded like a better idea. Why had he never thought of it? He could go to see her under the pretense of just checking on her and end up spending the evening with her. Angela is a very polite person, she would happily have him around.So after work, at around nine pm, he found himself at her doorstep-a little hesitant. What if she thought about the kiss on seeing him
