Israel's - [P.O.V]I seethed my teeth in anger.My hands fisted in balls and my jaw tightened."I am sorry Sir, I promise to redo the report right away." Stephen, the head of publishing department said in fear."You are fired" I said menacingly."Please... Sir." He begged."Get the fúck out of my office before I change my mind and do something worse." I banged my desk in anger, with my veins filled with rage.The rage burning through me could bring out smoke from my body.He shrieked practically running out of my office.Idiot!He almost made me loose a lot of money, so incompetent! I hate that kind of workers.I turned back to the window to see Miss Sidney still standing with that guy.
Claudia's - [P.O.V]I picked up my bag staring at Mr. Wilfred."Please Sir, I...I need to go home. Permit me to go change please" I said to him.Even if that's not the main reason, it's one of them. I need to see my kids before they go to school.I have been giving them little attention since the past three days I started this job and I feel very guilty and bad about it.They aren't getting a father's love and their mother isn't spending enough time with them all because of my stupid ass boss."Sidney."The way my surname rolled out of his mouth, you will think he's the most innocent and kindest person in the world.I just couldn't roll my eyes at him.I tapped my feet on the floor without replying to him. There's no need, right?"I will give you five hours off"I groaned inwardly, what sort of boss is this? Can't he just give me a day off?
Claudia's - [P.O.V]I cleared my voice and it seems that brought him out from his dream land.He blinked his eyes and looked away."Enter into the car" he commanded entering into the car.Such a gentleman!He couldn't even open the door for me.But wait, am I really going to stay in this backseat with Mr. boss? Goodness! I am so done for.I nervously opened the door and sat down, it was just the middle seat that distanced us.I thought he was going to punish me by allowing me to take a cab to were the dinner was taking place.In other to avoid his gaze, I began looking through the window clutching my big handbag. It looks beautiful anyways.We stayed in a pregnant silent for almost an hour till we arrived at a restaurant downtown.
Anika's - [P.O.V]"You called me Dad" I said sitting beside hi."I did, I guess you still remember my friend Wilfred right?" He asked.I thought for a while and then."Oh! Israel's father?"I beamed at mentioning his nameI just wish he will give me a single attention one of this daysI so much love him despite his cold attitudeHe's not just handsome, he's well built, most successful bachelor, he has taken over the business world at such a young ageIsn't he worth admiring? He's every lady's dream! Rich and handsome"Yes, he came here today" he said and I furrowed my eyebrowsWhat does that have to do with me"And?" I asked."Came with a marriage proposal for his son."Wait! A marriage what?
Israel's - [P.O.V]Despite the hard works I give her, not for once did she complain.She didn't! And I kept on doing that over again! She even left the broken cup on the floor, I had to call Stella to clean it up.I ran my hands through my hair frustratedly! I have really hurt Sidney!My office door opened and Erica came in."Hey dude" he said taking a seat opposite me. Typical him!"Have you forgotten this is my office Erica? Can't you knock?" I asked narrowing my eyes at him and he shrugged."And have you too forgotten that this is my best friend's office? Can't you greet me?" He asked back while I shook my head.Winning an argument with him is very useless!"So how are you? How's work? You look worked up" he asked taking a look at me.
- Yeah I have but, that's not the details Erica, I need more information. Find out about the father of her kids -- Well, I was on it though, that's not all the information, I just sent this one to tell you she never deserved everything you did to her for your stupid reasons-He rasped and I sighed. Not that he knows her that well, why's he backing her?- You can blame me how ever you want but reserve it for later, you need to get me the informations about her immediately -- I am not promising you bro but I will try to get that -He hung up before I could speak again.I dropped the phone trying to concentrate on my work but my mind kept drafting to her.She's a single Mum! How could I have been s stupid not to notice her struggles?She's been enduring everything because of he
Israel's - [P.O.V]I sighed frustratedly running my hands through my hair.I have been sitting here for almost two hours without being able to do a thing.The thought of Claudia clouded my head.I miss nagging at her, I miss seeing her determined face. Fúck! I miss her!I wish I can go back to the past and become a little nicer to her.I fling the documents Stella brought earlier for review! That's the least of my problems now.Going to her house is out of it, what if she pours hot water on me to get back at me?The more I remember her, the more guilty I feel!I ignored her red hand and chest the day I poured a coffee on her yet she didn't complain.But I went extreme by insulting her family and personality!&
Israel's - [P.O.V]"There's this lady I want you to make friends with before your birthday party"She chuckled crossing her arms!Really? Why did she chuckled now?"Seriously bro? Why did you want me to make friends with her? Who's she anyways?" She asked.I hope she doesn't shout like a crazy lady right now."Her name is Claudia , I will give you her home address then you can go there and..""Are you kidding me Israel? How can I go to someone's house and ask her to be my friend? She will think I am crazy or something"That's true though! But I need her to come to the party at least!I know she won't even acknowledge my invitation!"You know what? Did you have a picture of her?" She asked.A pictu
