TERMS AND CONDITIONS Mavens eyes widened the moment she heard him say terms and conditions.That's insane, she knows the terms and conditions would definitely soothe her family and the company so for now she didn't have anything to fear until he asked. “Don't give me that look Ms. Taylor or should I refer to you as Mrs. Thomas Al Thani” Thomas teased her in a way that her legs began to tremble under the table. She cursed and muttered under her breath. Now she can only wish uncle Patrick and uncle Derrick were here to face the heat with her. She held the papers close to herself, inside her suit was sweat forming beads and trailing down her back. She has thought it would be very easy to sign the damn documents and leave but reverse seems to be the case here as every passing moment grew out with difficulty. She puffed out hot air as everyone began to leave the room. “Let me have that Ms. Taylor”. Thomas said and grabbed the document from her even before she could stutter a word fr
SO GRANDMA CAN BE SWEET!Maven walked straight into grandma’s house. The document she had signed is going to make grandma give her some credit at least. She strapped it to her arm and hurried into the mansion. Grandma Clara was seated with a glass of wine in her hand and some cookies on a plate.“Hey Maven, you good?” Grandma asked with a smile on her face.“’I am fine grandma Maven answered with a suspicious look in her eyes, she still doesn’t understand why her grandmother had that mischievous smile stacked to her face like she had just won a lottery.“Well, I have signed the deal but there is a condition attached to it”. Maven announced to her mother. Looking away.Grandma Clara’s brows curved with interest.“A condition? What kind of conditions are that?” Grandma Clara asked with her nose raised in the air.“Well, the condition is I have to attend every meeting and fix myself else we would pay a seventy percent fine’. Maven informed grandma sharply.“Then you have to do as you hav
A TRICK Maven knows that talking to Thomas at this time was simply just a very wrong idea. She took grandma’s words as just a way of having her think she had changed. With the strange chime on the doorbell Maven looked at grandma and then back to her drink. “That should be your uncle and his son”. MA Clara declared and just then the maid rushed to the door and opened to reveal Uncle Patrick, Uncle Damon and David Maven rolled her eyes unconsciously before they reached the living room. The three musketeers are the reason grandma has been treating her badly all these while. She smacked her lip and now that she knows she has defeated them she raised her shoulders and crossed her legs comfortably on the seat. “Oh look who we have here. She has come to report herself on the simple task that she could not do for the family yet she has the effrontery to cross her legs like she can actually buy the whole house. “You must be respectful David’. Grandma shunned him for once on Mavens defe
A GOOD MATCHMaven turned to face him stunt and broad shouldered full of pride and arrogance.“Stop you pathetic peacock”. He said to Maven with anger written all over his face.“David, do you have a problem?” Maven asked, looking at him with a sly smile forming at the corner of her cheek. “You think you are now the hero. You think you can sweep us off from grandma’s love huh?”.“What the heck are you talking about? I have done nothing but work hard to gain grandma’s love.” Maven spoke with ease, her eyes fixed on him. “We can have a deal if you want”. David said.“Well, I don’t have anything to say to you. All I have to say is I am not interested, I have loads of work to do and I would advise you to watch your tone when speaking to me”. She spoke to him with her finger pointed at him.'Maven I shall make you miserable if you do not do as I want’. David threatened.“Well, I am not doing as you say and go to hell else I shall report you to grandma for trespassing”. Maven threatened u
A GOOD SURPRISE Maven turned off the blaring alarm quickly. She sighed heavily in disgust. “What the hell is wrong with me? Why are y suddenly tired of going to work”. She told herself and managed to slip out of bed with grudges. She rushed over to the laptop she had kept on her reading table with her hands on her waist like a pregnant hen. “Come Maven you can do this”. She said to herself and brushed her hair behind her ears. She went on to check her mail for any information she could attend to before going to have her bathe. “Maven you will be late for work”. Lady Victoria came knocking on the door. Maven grumbled the words. “Come in”. Maven called out in a slow voice but Lady Victoria didn’t wait to hear that part before pushing the door open. “What are you doing Maven, you're gonna be late for work and you know full well that Grandma doesn’t quite like it when you go late’. “Grandma knows how hard I work now so she doesn’t mind if I come late or stay at home”. Mav
I LOST MY WAY Maven walked out of the office with happiness. This has to be the best day of her life after all the saga she has been through in the last months with her family and Al Thani’s. This contract is just like compensation for the days she had cried herself to sleep. “Hello Thomas,, we need to talk." Maven spoke into the phone after dialing Thomas’ line. Just within a few minutes,she got the response she had been waiting for. “Let’s meet at Dé Moon Lounge." The message came in as a shock. She had not thought that it would be quick since she had tried to reach him and he didn’t pick up. Sheshrugged, and with one hand on the steering she drove off to meet Thomas. Maven isn’t quite sure of the direction, so she turned on her G****e Map to help her, getting to a point where she missed her way and just then Thomas’ call came in. She stopped the car just to take the call. “You are taking so long to get here;is there a problem?” He asked her over the phone in a very calm and so
A MEETING“I decided to be here”. Maven responded the waiter arrived with a glass of wine for her.“You can have your drink,” Thomas told her. She quickly grabbed her drink and sipped a bit from it. “So what else are you hiding from me?” Maven asked with a glare in her eyes.“Well, I did all that because I wanted to know more about you and about your family. I was never rich though”. He responded truthfully.“That’s not true. Who is the old woman you said you needed money to save?” Maven asked him with a quizzical look in her eyes.“My grandma, Ma Elizabeth is a great woman, I grew up with her, she groomed me into the man I am today and then I got to meet my grandpa nay a few months ago. I never knew I had so much wealth waiting for me until they showed up at the police station where I was locked and detained unlawfully.” Thomas answered her. He grabbed the remaining drink on the table and took it slowly to his mouth.“So, how do you feel being at the top of your game?” Thomas asked
A GOOD DAYMaven didn’t bother to tell grandma about the contract she has been awarded. She hasn’t digested it in her own heart enough to relate it to grandma and her uncles but soon enough she would do it. She went straight to bed and laid down before the chef came to inform her about dinner that night.The day had finally come. Maven went to work that morning, and didn't do all that she had to do. This dinner was going to be a special one so she closed from work very early just so she could get herself ready for the party grandma was trying to organize.She was in the bathroom when her phone began to ring. She rushed out of the bathroom to take the call.“Hello”. She spoke into the phone with water dripping from her hand.“Hello Maven”. Grandma said.“Yes, grandma”“Yes, are you ready? It’s almost time. Are you ready?”“I am almost a set granny”. Maven answered and then put the phone down. She rushed back into the bathroom to continue.By the time she finished it was almost time for
