"Hmmm. Now let's check our To do list", James said as he picked the list of chores-he had written- from the table.Joseph had come to visit early and James brought the idea of cleaning and preparing for a barbecue evening. Joseph liked the idea, he enjoyed stuff that included his father. James made a list of things they had to do. They cleaned the whole house and went grocery shopping. James raised his pen ready to mark the ones they had done."Clean the patio""Done", Joseph yawned. They had been working as early as nine in the morning and it was almost four in the afternoon. Naturally, they could afford a cleaning service but Joseph knew how much his father delighted in carrying out small tasks by himself. Besides, they get to chit chat as they work."Clean the kitchen area""Done""Fix the faulty bulbs""Done big man""Wash the utensils""Done sire", Joseph jested.James laughed and continued, "Wash and arrange the veggies""Done"James scanned the concluding part of the list and

Join us at the table, you have cooked enough meat", James hollered."Just a sec!"Angela carried the remaining cooked meat to the table.Joseph stood at once and moved a chair backwards for Angela to sit before seating next to her."Beer?", he asked warmly."Nah, coke would do. Thank you", Sophia answered for Angela.She "Haha, very funny but I wasn't talking to you", Joseph rolled his eyes in circles and offered Angela a smile, "What would you like to drink, Angie?"

Omar spent his Sunday in a tight corner. Unlike his other two friends who had fun with their loved ones, he got tangled up in business affairs.Omar just had a bath and was preparing to take his cute little sister out for shopping.The shrill ringing of his business phone cut his preparations short.He suspiciously eyed the phone and answered the call. "Blake?"His assistant never called him during the weekends except if it was important, that was the protocol. He wondered what had gone wrong."Good afternoon Sir. I apologize for interrupting your Sunday but there's something you have to see", Blake rushed his words like a madman."What is it?", Omar questioned. His assistant was not one to call for irrelevances.Blake swallowed the lump in his throat, he had nothing to do with the problem but he was terrified to bring to the notice of his boss, but that was the right thing to do, he couldn't just allow someone to shut down the business."Sir, I found something fishy, you need to see

His phones rang incessantly, more mails popped up, his voice assistant wouldn't stop talking, the intercom buzzed repeatedly. Omar himself is found around all the mess as he talked to a man on the phone. "Ha, Mister man, you need not worry. You know I always take care of the bills". Omar ignored the state of his office. He too felt like a mess. After dealing with his drama queen aka Farah, he had dressed in a fine tailored suit to find his missing money on a Monday morning. The girl wouldn't allow him to leave home, it almost felt like he was a single dad. He chuckled at the memory and all other ones they had created."Don't worry. Mister man, I will get everything ready. Everything ready for your magic hands", Omar said as he laughed.Mister man is a friend he met at a bar, who understands numbers better than any man Omar's ever known. In other words, the man is a genius.Omar wanted him to look at the records and spot the hints he may have overlooked."Now do not patronize me. S

He spent the wee hours browsing through the files till noon time.Omar would have continued to work till nightfall like the previous day, but his friends called him to lunch. They hadn't heard from him since Sunday and wondered what had gone wrong. They met at a restaurant and ordered light meals with only Joseph having the appetite of a wolverine."How are you both doing?" Fyodor looked from one friend to another. He didn't know of his friends but he did not feel happy at all.Joseph raised his head to look at his friends before bending again to enjoy his food.Omar sighed and ate a pea, "Someone is stealing from my company"."Someone?" Fyodor shook his head. It was totally unbelievable."Here I thought I'm the only one with problems. But my issue is quite manageable, might I add"Omar rolled his eyes, sometimes Fyodor could sound like Fyodor."How much? How much ha

"I think it's…", Sophia intentionally paused her speech to taunt Angela."Yes? Sophia? Are you still there?", Angela questioned further. She had sent Sophia a report she had written and badly needed someone to review before she hit the SEND button."It's eye-catching!", Sophia screamed and raised unnecessary attention as other customers turned to give her a disapproving look."So many people are going to read about Mellie and it's all thanks to the reporter who wrote a great script". Sophia unheeded the onlookers and continued, "So my sweetheart, you can share it with the public". "You are the best!" Angela. squealed and hung up.Sophia smiled to herself proudly. Yes! She truly is the best friend in the whole wide world. She checked her list and moved to the next section.Sophia's lips thinned as she eyed the big compartment that used to carry a lot of cabbages. Where did it all go? Who had bought all the cabbages without her knowledge?She needed cabbages to try a recipe she saw on
The CEO'S syndrome CHAPTER TWENTY NINE: She's my girlfriend.
He cleared his voice and wore a cheerful grin on his face before saying solemnly, "Come in".Joseph lost his youthful grin at once when the wrong people made appearance. "Ha ha bro, were you expecting Angela. You were laughing like an idiot and even dressed like one", Omar laughed at his friend who sat majestically on his seat as CEO."Hola!", Fyodor had taken a great liking to Sophia's greeting. He sat himself down on a seat and dropped a throw pillow on his laps to get comfortable."What are you too doing here?", Joseph asked obviously pissed. He was expecting to see Angela and had make sure his whole office was tidy-like it were dirty before. He even went ahead to wear a new suit and styled his hair. He looked like an expensive, handsome piece of art and he knew it.Joseph had asked the press station at which Angela worked to get another interview. It was easy to get one as he was a good friend of the News director and he also made a generous donation in return for the one and onl

"What all investors are looking forward to, is to raise funds. No one wants to-", James coughed into his handkerchief and continued from where he stopped."No one wants to lose money when he should be earning".He coughed a few more times and received sympathy from the other occupants of the table."Gentlemen, it's my cue to-", he coughed a few more times and stood to his feet."I should take my leave. My body isn't as strong as it used to be. A common cold can cause quite a scene". A few people laughed at his silly joke. James smiled as well and retraced his steps to the bathroom, he coughed a few more times into his handkerchief and inspected the once clean handkerchief when the cough had relieved him a little. Blood. It was expected. He always coughed out blood.He hurriedly retrieved his pills and swallowed them. When he felt composed enough, he made his way to the entrance and got into his ride."To the house, please". He breathed out loudly as soon as the familiar warmth of th
