Concern etched across her features, Joy, noting Billion's discomfort, approached his desk with a gentle stride. "Mr Boulevard, are you feeling alright? The AC is on, and it's quite cool in here," she expressed, a genuine worry in her voice.Billion, attempting to downplay the situation, assured her, "I'm fine, Joy. Probably just a bit under the weather. Don't worry about it." As she drew closer, a hint of warmth lingering in her gaze, she reached out to touch his forehead in a gesture of concern.However, as Joy's hand made contact, Billion reacted as if he'd been burned. He instinctively pulled away, a swift, subtle motion that created a sudden and unexpected distance between them. The puzzled expression on Joy's face mirrored her confusion at the unexpected reaction."Mr Boulevard, are you sure you're okay?" Joy inquired, her voice softening with concern.Billion, now maintaining a slightly guarded demeanor, replied, "I'm fine, Joy. Just a momentary discomfort. Nothing to worry abou
"I beg your Pardon?" Billion asked."I said I want to know who your girlfriend is, who you're sleeping with." Mrs Dorathy said. Her facial expression was composed as if she had not just asked a very personal question.Just as the flirtatious exchange threatened to linger, a timely knock on the door disrupted the atmosphere. "Come in," Billion called, grateful for the interruption. The door swung open, revealing Joy entering with two cups of tea on a tray.Billion instinctively got up from his seat to assist Joy, but before he could make a move, Mrs Dorathy, with an incredulous look on her face, held him back. The interruption and the unexpected obstruction created a moment of awkward tension in the room.Joy, oblivious to the underlying dynamics, greeted them both with a professional smile. "Good day, Mr Boulevard, Mrs Dorathy. I thought you might appreciate a drink during the meeting."Billion, appreciating the much needed distraction, nodded with gratitude. "Thank you, Joy. That's t
Joy tried her best to remain composed, she attempted to wipe off the stain from her clothes using her hands, however, the fabric clung to her skin, and she took a moment to assess the damage. The subtle redness on her cheeks hinted at the embarrassment and frustration she was feeling.Billion, observing the situation, spoke up. "I apologize on behalf of Mrs Dorathy, Joy. That was completely uncalled for."Joy, offering a reassuring smile, responded, "It's alright, Mr Boulevard. I appreciate your concern, but I've dealt with my fair share of challenging situations while working for Mrs Harvey. This is nothing new."Billion, acknowledging her resilience, said, "I'm sorry you had to experience that. If there's anything I can do to address the situation or make it up to you, please let me know."Joy, brushing off the incident, replied, "Thank you, Mr Boulevard. I've learned to handle these things gracefully. I won't let this distract me."Billion, appreciating her professionalism, nodded.
Billion, sensing the urgency in Joy's voice, began to look around with a hint of concern, half-expecting an imminent problem or perhaps an unexpected crisis. He turned to Joy, questioning, "What's going on, Joy? Is there a security issue?"Joy, however, had a different concern in mind. She gently grabbed the black dress from the rack, her eyes widening as she showed Billion the price tag. "Sir, it's the dresses. They're... they're too expensive."Billion, glancing at the price tag, raised an eyebrow. The figures on the tag reflected a cost that would fund a small business or a luxurious vacation. His initial worry about a potential threat disappeared."Oh, I see," Billion said, a hint of amusement softening his features. "HisHighness Boutique caters to a high-end clientele, Joy.Billion, picking up on Joy's reluctance, gently insisted, "Joy, I'll pay for the dress. Consider it a token of appreciation for all your hard work and for helping us with Mrs Harvey."Joy hesitated, then shook
"Yeah, i know. Corporate life can be hectic." Billion said."Son, I wasn't talking about corporate life, I'm talking about Dorathy. This is just the beginning with her." Lord Boulevard replied.With a puzzled expression, Billion asked, "What do you mean, father?""That woman never takes a hint. You can tell her In several different ways that you cannot stand her but she will never leave." Lord Boulevard answered."Well, I know that already. She did that today." Billion said."That's not all. She's also very good at creating the most ridiculous scenes at gatherings." Lord Boulevard said.Leaning back into his chair, Billion remarked, "Tell me more. I need to know what I'm dealing with" Lord Boulevard chuckled, "Where do I even begin? That woman has done so many crazy things throughout the year. Ah ha! Let me tell you about the one she did at the last Directors and shareholders meeting we held at Mr Jax place.Lord Boulevard settled into his chair, a mischievous twinkle in his eyes as
