Cephas walked into the Walter Coporations’s building, his assistants were waiting for him to come in.“Good morning sir,” Anta greeted him as soon as they walked up to him. “Good morning, Anta.” He replied pausing to lookat their faces before he continued moving. Jose, you seem to be very angry , I didn’t even get a good morning from you.” He replied while they walked towards the elevator.“I am sorry sir, Good morning,” Jose murmured a reluctant greeting as they got into the elevator. Luckily for them, they were the only ones going into the elevator. ‘What is on your mind? You know you can talk to me about anything.” Cephas said. He had noticed that Jose didn’t want to talk about what was on his mind.“There is nothing sir, “ Anta replied.“Jose?” Cephas asked, he saw Jose look at Anta. “C’mon, don’t resist talking to me because of Anta.”“Say your mind, you are making me seem like a bad person in front of big boss.” Anta gave Jose a scornful look. “Just talk, I am not happy a
“I have sent the address to her , sir.” Anta informed her boss. “That’s great, Anta.” He said as he adjusted his shoes . Jose, please ask Goofy to come and pick me up”“On it!”“Anta, please fill me in on the progress of things at the moment.”“I have cleared your schedule for today, the executives have requested for some tasks transfer.”“They are not even wasting time with the takeover process .” Jose relied.“Let’s leave them be, they’ll only get to enjoy this for two weeks or less depending on how fast you guys find something on Ms Gojo.” Cephas replied to him. “Are they receiving tasks from us or are they ones giving us tasks?”“They are handing their tasks over to us. But don’t worry, the tasks are things Jose and I can handle. We have completed all our tasks except for Marcus' publishing situation.”“Are we going to hand that over to them? We should be the ones to complete that project because I personally want to see Mr and Mrs Marcus crumble for not letting us stay the nigh
“What are you doing?” Cephas got up from his seat, turning till he was face to face with his stepmom.“Was she following me?” He asked in his mind and groaned, he only fixed the dinner at Gojo foods, hoping that his soon to be wife would run into them there and cancel their wedding but his step mom had come instead.“What does it look like, Ceph? I am scolding her for hanging out with an engaged man.” Ruth retorted at her, “Are you not being brazen and reckless? Having a meal with a woman at your in-laws’ restaurant.”Here she goes again, acting like she really cared about him. He didn’t understand why she kept wanting him to get married to heiresses when her son who is around his age was still single and was most probably the hottest bachelor alive.His father never forced Abraham to do anything, they only said yes to do something, his No was no and yes was yes. But it was different in Cephas’ case.Now Ruth, his stepmom, was monitoring his every move.“They are not my in-laws yet. C
“Are you speaking to me?” Ruth demanded, and she was shocked by Tyla’s response. She had thought that Tyla was intimidated by her that was why she hadn’t spoken a word but Ruth realized that Tyla might not be calm like she thought.“Yes, Mrs Steel-Walter, you demand some respect but you have done nothing but say disrespectful words to me since you got here.” She answered.“I can say whatever I want to anyone, who are you to tell me that I am disrespecting you? Just because you are dressed in white, doesn’t mean you deserve my respect.” Ruth said.“This is different from what I have heard about you.”“What did a peasant like you hear about me and how is it supposed to affect me?”"Well, I should tell you, words have it that you are well-known for your kind words and accommodating heart, now that I have met you, I see they are all lies. The media knows nothing about you.”“That is disappointing for people like me that look up to you, we have always imagined how great you would be when
Two days to the wedding…“Good afternoon, Ms Willams,” Ruth said into her phone. A lot had been on her mind since she had seen that Tyka would make a perfect bride for her son.“Good afternoon, Tyla Willams speaking, who am i on the phone with please?” She demanded, while she typed some details of the project she was into her computer.The past week had been stressful for her, she had not been able to sleep well at night because of her work load.Kamil, a senior executive and the oldest staff at Will’s pastry. recently resigned from work because she made Cephas the vice president over him. The other members of staff were also angry that a mere delivery boy got promoted over them.To worsen it he didn’t come to work since he had been appointed as the vice president unlike Kamil they didn’t leave. If only they knew that he was the one that saved them from being jobless.They all owed him alot.“Ruth Steel-Walter speaking.” The voice replied and she froze.“What? Am I dreaming? Why did
“How was your trip sir?” Anta asked as Cephas handed them the souvenirs he got them. “These are very beautiful,” she added as she unboxed the parcel in her hand.“It was boring, it was more of business talk than bonding with my in-laws. I am so tired that I would love a spa treatment as soon as possible.” he answered as a yawn escaped from his mouth.His dad had asked him to join the Gojos on a trip to Ibiza to bond with them, but the trip has been more of a business meeting than a bonding experience. The Gojo couple were just asking him to make expansion plans for them and give them advice on how to make mind-blowing profits.Because he loved things like that, he decided to work on it.“I will ask Lisa from the massage and spa to get ready to give you a special treatment, sir.” Anta replied. “Would you like it to be private?”“Yes, please. No staff or anyone else would be allowed in there. Fix the session to be after everyone clocks out and arrange an extra hour payment for Lisa.” He
After relaxing from the spa treatment and completing all the workload the executive team had pushed to him and his assistant, he decided to pay his parents a visit.He wanted to have a talk with his stepmom about Tyla and of course he was going to do it in front of his father.Goofy was waiting in the black Porsche to pick him up, jose had called him earlier in the evening to come pick their boss up because of how exhausted he was.He exchanged a light greeting with Goofy before resting in the car and he fell asleep.“We are here sir,” Goofy tapped him softly on his leg. “Hmmm.” Cephas stretched. “I feel so refreshed, Thanks for the ride, Goofy.” “You are welcome sir.” goofy replied happily then a bodyguard opened the door for Cephas to come out. Goofy was driving in circles earlier so that Cephas could get enough sleep before dealing with his parents.“Cephas, you didn’t say you were coming home today,” Ruth said excitedly when she saw him and she walked him up to him for a hug.He
The wedding day..Numerous guests flocked into the biggest chapel in the city, dignitaries that came on behalf of the bride’s family. His Father wasn’t much of a socialist so he didn’t invite anymore, and his stepmom didn’t consider the wedding as any huge thing so she didn’t invite more than ten guests.Cephas himself, didn’t call his acquaintances from uni, the wedding was not a big deal to him either but the Gojo's seemed to be very excited to be hosting the wedding.A little ring bearer walked down the aisle, spreading flowers and cuteness. He was also from the Gojo’s family because they didn’t have little ones yet in the Walter’s family.The groom, Cephas himself and his younger sister behind him as the best man but the female version.Sarah knows that she can get anything she wants with her brother, she wanted to see him off while he got married this time. She had told him that she would see it in the bride’s eyes.At first he had laughed her suggestion off but she showed up in
