I AM DONEMaven couldn't even believe that her Grandma would do a thing like that to her. As she laid in bed and Thomas tried all he could to make her feel better before leaving the room. She had told her mom that she'd be needing a whole lot of space which means her mom could no longer speak to her at least for the moment until she is able to clear her head and understand what Grandma was trying to do with her boys. There was no time to regret any of her actions as they were the best she could come up with so the so-called Sabastian Garcia and his rude family can leave her the hell alone.“Well I am not going to let you be Maven. You have made a grave mistake and we are falling now see, grandma has now used this cursed marriage against us. How are we even going to survive these tumultuous times?” This time Victoria isn't really concerned about Maven but fears she would not be able to foot her luxurious life since all of the incentives and paycheck won't be coming in again.“I told
GIVE US THE CARThomas was in the kitchen the night he heard the loud bang on the door. Who could that be at this time of the night?” He questioned as he rinsed the leather off his hands and picked up the red napkin clothed in the dishwasher. Lady Victoria was seated in the living room, but as usual, she would never get up to see who was at the door except she was the only one at home. She even had a pack of juice by her side and the potato chips Thomas had made for her about thirty minutes ago. She had declined dinner and says she only wants to take the snack to bed.“Get the door fast, moron." She muttered as she chewed. Thomas ignores her saucy attitude because he knows that on a good day she will come begging and pleading at his feet. If not for the fact that Grandpa had instructed him to pipe low, all of this would not be happening. He swayed his shoulders from side to side and wiped his hands with the towel before gripping the door knob.“Who is it?” He asked, and just as the
A NEW CARThomas crabbed a hoodie Maven had gotten for him a few weeks ago before her retrenchment at the company. He fit himself into it and joggled down the stairs. When he bumps into Lady Victoria downstairs he pauses for a while to see her.“Where are you going?” she asked him without concern.“Just a few blocks away”. He said clutching his black family card in his hoodie pocket. She sighed in disgust at him and he walked away not minding all her sauciness. She has always been this rude to him since the first day he got into the house and so he is already used to all her bad attitude yet for the sake of the contract and for the mission he is set to accomplish he has decided in his heart never to let any of her actions and words get to him. He bounced out of the house regardless of her opinion about him. Maven on the other hand was upstairs trying to adapt to the ill news she had received the entire week. All Thomas could do was give her consoling words and at some point began to
A SECRET ADMIRER “Sir please have a seat” Tony told Thomas.“Oh, thank you for being nice unlike your other colleague who just wrote me off the moment he saw me.“Tyler is always impatient but trust me when I say he is a very sweet fellow if you get to know him. He loves perfection to the brim”. Tony commended.“Well he would do well somewhere else”. “Yes. Sir. Are you paying by transfer, Card or by check?”“I've got my card and I think we can start from there’. Thomas said with a smile on his face. He reached out for his card in his pocket. “Here you go”. He answered by handing the card over to the sales rep. When Tony saw the logo on the card his eyes widened.“You are an Al Thani?" he asked with shock.“Shhh! Do not the walls hear, they have ears”? Thomas cupped his hand in the corner of his mouth and spoke.“Oh I see”, the young man quickly slid the card into the POS machine and made the transfer. He was happy and Thomas had no option but tip him an extra $5000. ‘Thank you so m
STILL IN AWEMaven and her mother sat in the living room wondering who could be responsible for sending the gift. She smiled and grabbed the keys and headed upstairs. She would wait just maybe the secret admirer would call or try to reach out in some way. Maven laid on her bed and held the note out again to read when her phone began to ring.“Thomas? This isn't the call she was expecting at this point. She sighed and let the phone ring to a stop. She listened to the phone ring again before reluctantly picking up the phone from the bed. “Hello Thomas”. She answered. “Hello Maven I called to tell you I would be quite late today. I would be stopping at my grandma's house. I haven't seen them in a long while”. Thomas told her.“It's fine you can take the whole day if you want”. She waved him off and ended the call, led back on the bed and began to wiggle her legs. Now she can go look for a job somewhere else. She thought in her heart. She had never really worked for any company besides
SENT OUTThe next day David is prepared for his meeting with the Al Thani's; a bright look illuminates his features as he stands in front of the mirror in his room. He held the button to his well tailor azure suit and ran a quick finger in his short but lush hair. “I shall make grandma and everyone else proud.” He whispered to himself and grinned. Just then his door creaked open and his father came into the room.“Hey son, are you ready?” Patrick asked.Looking over at his father he smiled and nodded at the same time. “Yes dad. I am more than ready”.“Breakfast is served. We must get something in our stomach to withstand the pressure that might come with the meeting”. Patrick said like he was already having a feeling that something bad might happen along the line. He shook the thought out of his mind and placed a weak hand on his son's shoulder. “You will get through it successfully and we shall prove to grandma that we made it without anyone's help unlike that foolish girl Maven
GET HER TO SIGNPatrick ran after David the moment he was asked out of the hall. “David. Come on, what was that all about? That was rude and unprofessional”. Patrick tried to caution his son but David would rather not hear any of it.“Who does he think he can humiliate us in the presence of all those people? And you sat there and did nothing to them”.Patrick chuckled.”What would you have me do son? This is an important deal for us and you ruined the opportunity. What do you tell Grandma?”. Patrick asked as they strolled out of the building with shame.“We shall tell grandma exactly what happened. I am sure she would be pissed by Mr. Fred's nasty attitude. He is very pretty and acts like he owns the world before he works here. Ha!” David was so pained that he stood at some point wondering what kind of man his father was to even sit and listen to Mr. Fred make mockery of them. “Dad, I think Maven has a hand in this. She has been sleeping with that Fred guy and now he is bringin
A PLEA“Urgh! It's actually a Lamborghini not a Ferrari. You should know your car brands David. Maybe you need lessons on it I could teach you”. Maven answered him in a mocking tone and all she earned from him for that rude correction was a poisonous glare.“Look whatever!. Dad, I have longed for a Lambo and looked where it's parked. Who owns it? I know Maven can never afford this car and not even that wretched husband of hers can afford the car of my dreams.” He scowled the venomous words at her but she didn't react in her usual way. She knew that this time she had bitten all of them in a tight spot and bantering words with him was only going to make her become as bitter as he is.“Well I guess my husband and I now have at least one car to our name that doesn't belong to the Taylor family or even the Company. So gentle men, how may I be of help to you this sunny afternoon?” She asked them as she trailed her hand gently on the surface of the car. The chassis fluttered like black di
