DISBELIEF We are going through a really hard time and all you can say is you will and fix it? Grandma’s tone was harsh and concealed anger in it. Maven has been frustrated since the last time she had been told that all the companies are withdrawing. The moment she was done with grandma on the phone she raised her head to see her office door open without a single knock and there was the arrogant Mr. Thompson.“What the heck are you doing here?’ Maven asked with a frown on her face and the anger within her came like an Adrenalin speed surging through her nerves.“Mr. Thompson you have done enough, I bet you are here to sign the deal puff as well, I don’t care about the forty percent cancellation fee anymore, and you can have everything”. Maven kept whining but Mr. Thompson pulled out the chair before him and sat down.“That is not why I am here Ms. Taylor, I think you should hear me out.” He said scratching his head with his hand.“What do you want then and why are you comfortably seat
DECEIT Maven just could not believe she had been called again only a few moments after Sebastian left her office. He had promised her he would make sure she is called back and just on his way with one single call he makes she has been called? This has to be some sort of joke. She brushes her hair backwards as she calls Grace into her office.“Come take a look. The Al Thani’s have reinstated the contract and I am so happy.” She turns on her computer and shows Grace her screen.“This is incredible”. Grace spoke with her hands covered over the mouth.“I can’t believe Sabastian has such a level of importance in that company”. Maven spoke with excitement but Grace suddenly paused.“Mr. Sabastian Garcia you mean? Is he the one that did this?” Grace asked, scratching the corner of her nose.“Yes Grace, he was here a few minutes ago and you saw him leave right, he promised me he would get everything sorted out in no time and on his way out he made a simple call and in less that fifteen minut
A FORCED DINNER“I need you at the house this minute”. Grandma spoke on the phone without wasting time and she ended the call.“What does she even want?” Maven asked herself but she didn’t say much in her heart as she drove the car turning towards grandma’s home. After all she has been called back to have a meeting with the Al Thani’s so whatever grandma had to say would be shut down by the news she would give. She drove on a regular pace at least she needed to to take some time to digest the troubles she would be facing with grandma. The moment she pulled up at grandma’s house she saw the car, even though it was different she could tell Grandma Clara had a rich friend around, perhaps that’s the reason for the urgent call. Maven brushed her hair while still sitting in the car. She pulled out her lipstick from her bag and rubbed it over her mouth. She checked for her brown powder and added a little to her face dabbing it left and right and then the mascara. When she was sure she loo
A SHOCKMaven wasn’t happy with what grandma didn’t him the previous day but that isn’t her mail or concern for now. The problem at hand is the risk of losing the Al Thani deal so she made sure to wake up as early as possible to get ready for the meeting.“Grace had just sent her an email containing all she would be needing for the day and the meeting. Hello Grace”. Maven picked up the phone and called. “I will be with you in a minute ma’am”. Grace spiked into the phone. Maven trusted her words so she didn’t bother. She rushed a bit to the bathroom for a quick bath and headed out to get herself ready for the day. Standing before the mirror she hoped and said a short prayer for herself and for favor to be with her as she stands before the team.“I hope that shrimp won’t show his ugly face in affairs that do not concern him. She dressed in a very attractive dress and headed out of her room to meet Grace sitting in the living room.“Hey, you came as planned”.“Yes Ma’am and I have bee
A MISTAKEN IDENTITY Thomas answered the call immediately and the phone rang. Maven was already packed in front of the town café. “I’m right in front of the café, I need you out now” she said the words with authority into the phone.“You need to be calm Ma’am. I am very sure you saw wrongly you are mistaking him for someone else”.‘No. I know what I saw and Thomas lied to me, now I am going to prove him wrong that no one messes with my mind and goes free". She said with a frown on her face. She got out of the car and walked to the entrance. She pushed the door open and stood in the center of the café. The customers looked at her with wonder in their eyes. Then she found one staff member and approached him.“Where is Thomas?” She asked him to be calm at first but when the man arched his eyebrows at her in confusion she flipped; changing her tone quickly.“Let me Thomas, that is exactly why I am here”. She screamed at him causing all the other customers who were busy with their meals a
SHAMED AT LASTSabastian Led Maven to his car and helped her in. When she sat down he took his seat in the front and turned on the ignition. Maven wore a frown on her face and a tired look.“Come on tour should cheer up at least”.“I am not happy to be here. I am not happy doing this with you Sabastian. How many times have I told you I do not want to be married to you? You just want to force yourself on me and into my family but that is not going to happen Sabastian. Look for someone else. I know you have helped us a lot but that doesn't mean I have to marry you in return. Besides,I never asked for the help you gave.”Maven said with a frown arching her brows.Sabastian didn't answer her any more; rather he flashes a short suspicious smile and continues driving.They drove until they got to the central town where the cafe is located. Sabastian got out of the car and held the door for his soon to be bride. In his mind she was already his and he is convinced that she would soon fall for
MAVEN PLEASE“Get him the mop and the bucket. He has to clean the entire restaurant to make up for his money’ Thomas said. The men grabbed Thomas at once and stripped him off his expensive suit. They pulled him out to the change room and forced him into the cleaners. “See how perfect you look. The cleaner job fits you so well, my boy. Now this is a lesson I want to teach you. Be kind to people no matter their family background or class, you are no better.”“You criminal, you have stolen the Al Thani name and I shall report you to the MD himself”.“Well, that man happens to be my grandfather and unlike you I do not boast of what I do not have. You have been parading yourself as Man’s savior and the benefactor of the Taylor for quite a long time and I have decided to silent you forever. “You see that car everyone thinks you got it for Maven, I did and that tender you claimed you helped her gain was all my manipulation. When I heard all your stupid empty promises I decided to play alon
I AM PAINED Maven walked into the house looking like a beaten dog. Lady Victoria had just finished a freshly made meal and in her hand was a glass of chilled freshly made juice.What's with the frown? Did anyone offend you?” She asked while watching Maven match into the li ring with both shoes in her hand.“You look like you saw a ghost and I am talking to you Maven who made you so upset that you don't even want to speak with me?” Victoria became very much concerned with her daughter's new attitude.“You caused it mom. I told you I didn't want to but you forced me into it. And now look at the embarrassment you made me face in public. I am on the blogs and on every damn social media platform as the fiancee of a man who claims to be wealthy yet could afford to pay for his meal at the town's central cafe. Isn't that crazy? I bet you like the new title I have been given”. Maven sparked like a tiny ray of light in a dark room“What the heck are you talking about? I asked you to go out on
