Peter and his men left the scene and drove off to the city. There was nothing anyone could do for him now. He had the money, he had the fame, and he could decide to play dirty games like some of his friends are doing, but no. He has better things to invest his time in. By the time he got to his house, he was shocked to see Kayla in the kitchen, dressed in this shirt. “How did you get in?” He asked with widened eyes.“C'mon Peter, are you forgetting that you gave me your keys? You said I could come anytime I wanted,’ she reminded him. “Oooops! That's true. My bad!”. He replied to her with his hand on his head. He had forgotten; he gave her his spare keys.“What are you cooking?” He asked her as he went on to hold her waist softly.“Just a little Lasagna for the evening. Where have you been though?” She asked him. He pressed a kiss on her shoulders and pulled away. “Been in town on a little tour,” he answered.“A tour? What kind of tour would you go for dressed in a black hoodie an
Mia left home for her house. She didn't have the time to explain anything further since she had been freed and her parents now have an idea of what had happened to her. She hugged her parents before leaving and promised to show up a day or two later. She could still feel the pain in her arms as she got up from the seat. She pinned her feet on the ground and grabbed the food pack her mother had made for her.At least she wouldn't be getting food from any vendor tonight. She would make do with what she has. “I'll call you when I get home”. She told her mother when she got in front of the house. Her mother waved at her and walked back into the building. Mia stood for a while and then she began to walk out of the estate hoping to flag down a car. She had lost her phone in the process and booking a ride has been made difficult for her at the moment. She whistled taking the walk step by step and then a car approached her direction ahead paused and flagged down.It was an old friend from
Peter was just in his office, minding his business, when he heard Tyler's voice booming from the other room. He has always known Tyler to be very soft-spoken, and whatever was making him raise his voice was damn stress. He quickly saved the work he was doing on his computer and adjusted his suit as he got up to find out what exactly was happening in his build. He had only taken a few steps towards the door when it yanked open.“Peter!”. He heard the voice call his name, and then he raised his brows. “Sir, I tried to stop her. I tried to tell her you didn't want to see her, but she wouldn't stop fighting me. Tyler complained. Peter ran his eyes on Tyler to tell him to excuse him, but then he realized the young man's suit buttons had been ruined, and with the way his tie was shifted to one part of his neck, it seems he had gotten into a fight with Mia. They were both panting as they stood before him.“Mia, did you fight my staff?” Peter asked as calmly as he could. Mia rolled her eyes
Just as Mia left the office, Kayla came bearing a basket of food and some fruits."Hey, Mr. CEO." She called out to him with a smile as she moved towards the table where he was sitting. She pushed the seat out and sat on his lap, placing the basket at the same time on the table.“Kayla, how are you?” He asked casually.“I'm fine.Is anything the problem? And what's with the gloomy face, though? She asked as she got up from his lap and took the seat. “Have I done anything wrong?"“No. Kayla It's not you. Mia was here just a few minutes ago.”.“Yes! I saw her down the stairs, growing and murmuring to herself as she walked out of the building." Kayla informed him. “But that shouldn't birth the frown on your face like she stole all your money." She added as she watched him speak.“She came to tell me she had nothing to do with the explosion, plus she asked for some money, which I gave her. I don't know why I can't push her out of my life forever. It's draining.” He complained bitterly.
Why do you keep making trouble? The voice came in just as Peter was about to close his eyes to take a short nap in his office. It's against the rules, but come on, the boss has to break those rules at some point considering how tired he has been of staying up all night for days now just to get a solution to the problems he is facing with the company. In a few days, he would be having a meeting with the governor and the minister concerning the ongoing bridge construction.Sleeping on duty isn't a crime for him; after all, she was done with all he had to do for the day, yet the idea of going home to stay alone keeps killing him all the time.He popped his eyes open, and there he was in a black suit, like an assassin on a mission. Peter squinted his eyes, wondering how deep he had slept in such a short period that he didn't notice Victor come into the room. He scanned Victor for a while to be sure he had not taken away anything of importance from his table. “What do you want?” He asked
The annual entrepreneurial conference was hosted in Suncity for the season. Everyone has been in anticipation of how the conference will turn out, as there's been tonnes of success in the corporate world in the last few months. Peter had told himself he had no business attending such a flamboyant meeting where it wouldn't be recognized. All his efforts to get recognition have proved abortive. His latest invention was the talk of town, and there is no way he wouldn't have won at least a little award for himself. He sat in his office and twirled his seat back and forth, then his door swung open. He knows only one person who would barge into his office without any prior information; that person would be Kayla. She is so fond of it, but he doesn't mind as long as she isn't coming here to disturb his peace. Just like Mia, he was fine with it.“Kayla, what's with the smile?” He asked her. A little smile creeped into his face as he demanded answers from her.“I came to see my man, and there
He got into his car but befriended him and drove off. He called Tyler again and gave him a reminder concerning the conference in the evening. Tyler told him he had added it to his list for the day and had set a reminder one hour before the time.Peter acknowledged his efforts and drove off, heading home. The traffic is a little bit tight, and he has to obey all the rules; otherwise, he would be pulled over and probably delayed, and in the end, he might miss the party he had promised Kayla he would attend. He knows that by now she was somewhere in the salon trying to get her hair done, trying to get her nails done, or getting a full spa session. Women are unpredictable. He scoffed at the thought and continued with his drive, taking note of all the traffic rules till he got to a traffic stop, and once it finished counting to zero, it showed the green light. The vehicles blared their honks and drove off. He did the same, taking the left turn to his house. By the time he got home, he was
They drove to the venue, chatting, laughing, putting the little angry moments aside. They sang their favorite songs, talked about work and how their day went and then spoke about life in general. When Peter pulled up in front of the venue, the parking lot was filled with luxurious cars. He smiled as he got in to make room for his car. “See why I said we should come early? Now we have to scout for where to park.”“I thought we trashed that matter a few minutes ago?” he asked, stealing a glance at Kayla.“Yes, we did, but all I'm trying to say is that you should be more organized next time." She advised me.“What are you saying, Kayla? Of course, I am organized. What happened tonight was a mistake on my part, and I am sorry.”.“I know you are sorry, Peter, but I am sure a few days from today the same mistake will repeat itself." She said to him, He looked at her for a while, knowing that if he tried to apologize any further, it would result in another fight.“You look beautiful, Kayla
