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
He walked majestically to get his award from the chairman of the occasion. He never thought that he would get an award in this, even though he bluntly didn't want to attend because he didn't feel like it, but to his greatest amazement, he has been called out to get an award he never lobbied for. The whole thing was crazy and suspicious, but he took it anyway. He got to the podium to get his award, and while everyone was cheering, Kaylay got up and excused herself from the table after cheering on her man for some time. She didn't want to move around when they were still seated, even though she had been in the corporate world for decades. She still had some sort of shyness and fright whenever she found herself in a large gathering such as this.“I want to use the restroom." She told Tyler before she left. He nodded at her, and she squeezed her way out of the hall. She strolled out and took a left turn towards the other side of the wing, where the lady's convenience was located. The hall
“It's drizzling on you, and you can't walk home either," Peter told her. She bit her lower lip and smacked it. "Come, let's go,” Peter said, trying to pull her hand off, but she hit his hand off and walked back. She got into the car and sat down. Peter just couldn't understand the sudden change in democracy. Just a few minutes ago, they had defeated Mia together as a couple, and now she is fighting him already for what he knows nothing about. He tilted his head and watched her as she walked into the car. I got to the seat and fastened his seat belt. Then he remembered that his suit was a little bit wet. He unfastened the seat belt and took his jacket off. Then he put the seat belt back into place.He noticed how Kayla folded her arms and watched him.“What? Kayla, why are you staring at me like I committed some murder?" He asked her out of curiosity and care.“I am offended by the way you let her run into your arms back there." She finally let the words out. Peter was patiently waiti
The next morning, when Kayla woke up, she was feeling much better than when she had gone to bed. She lay in bed and grabbed the remote from the nightstand. and turned the television to her favorite TV show. She yawned and checked the time. She didn't feel like going to work today, so she picked up her phone and texted her boss that she wasn't feeling well. She was quite exhausted, and with the bruise on her face, there was no way she was going to spend the whole day explaining to her colleagues what happened to her.“Are you sure he even got the text?” She asked herself after she had sent the text five minutes ago. She grabbed the comforter for herself and rested her head on her arm. She sighed in frustration. Mia had ruined her entire night, and now she had to live with the anguish for the day. No amount of make-up would hide the bruises; except for that, she was perfectly fine. She picked up her phone and dialed her boss's number directly."Hello,” she said when his voice came on th
