Another hour had gone and Lisa was feeling every ounce of strength in her slipping away, she had become so weak that she was now hoping for a miracle. “Ms. Lisa, you need to try and push out your baby, else there might be some complications if he is unable to breathe well” one of the nurses advised calmly but Lisa had no strength left in her. Just then, another nurse walks up to her while holding a cell phone that seems connected to a call. “Ms. Lisa, there is someone on the other end of the phone who would like to speak to you”The nurse told her, but before she could decline, the phone had already been placed on her ear. “Hello, Lisa” His calm voice came through as it sent a shiver down her spine, although she wasn't aware, it was all she had been waiting for all this while, tears immediately rolled down her cheek hearing his voice at such a critical moment. “Where the hell are you, even at a moment like this, you can't be with me”“I told you, that I am always with you, watchin
Harry and Williams were at the office and Harry could not stop pacing, each time he stopped to stare at the television and the protest that was going on by the construction workers, it just got him more worked up. “Sir, I think that it is high that Lisa be informed of what is going on at her company”“No please, she just delivered her baby, and considering that it was a hard labor, she needs the rest”“But this has escalated beyond our help, she needs to speak to her board members, and then address the press and the furious construction workers”“Someone seemed to be fueling this up and we need to find those involved first, else no matter what she does, it is not going to work”“Sir, what are you suggesting that we do now?”“Sneak into the construction site and find out what exactly happened, first we need to know the materials provided at the site and if it was what was agreed by Lisa and the construction company, that way we will be certain of what to do next”“Alright Sir, I will
Lisa parked her car a distance away from the site seeing how filled up it was ranging from the cops, the press, and even the workers, everywhere was bubbling with the crowd and after a while of thinking, she decided to go through the back door. As she strides towards the exit at the backdoor the manager of the construction company speaks in whispers to one of his workers, immediately his eyes meet her, and he stops talking and turns to her. “Ms. Lisa, I heard you just put to bed, how in the world are you here right now?” He asked with his eyes wide open, he is a male in his late forties with light skin and average height and has worked with the construction company for fifteen years now where he gained so much experience, seeing Lisa there, he knew how furious she would be and yet he was so calm. “I am fine, I just needed to speak to you, the workers are at my company and protesting about how inferior materials were used, why is that happening?”“You do not have to listen to them,
After listening to Williams, Lisa felt more scared instead of relief, she felt like there was something wrong with him and she needed to find out what that was. Lisa steered towards the basement and at the extreme was the last office, she turned around to be certain that she hadn't been followed before knocking on the door, but as expected, there was no reply. “Open up, it is me!” Her voice came as a whisper, but he sure heard her, the moment he opened the door, he dragged get inside and immediately twisted the door knob. “What the hell is wrong with you, are you ignorant or just naturally dumb!!” He yelled at her and yet he did it in a low tone. “I will take whichever one you think suits me” Her voice was calm, her face pale, this woman went through hours of labor, he knew how difficult it was and yet she was here bearing all the pain, he could no longer help it as he embrace her in his arm. “I can't just stay mad at you even if I want to, I am sorry that I couldn't be there for
Lisa ran her hand through her hair, she was filled with so much confusion but at the same time scared that this mistake could cost her entire company, everything that she had worked so hard for years. “You need to calm down about these, you are on maternity leave, I believe that there are capable hands at your company that can handle this, why don't you let them”“I am sorry, but I do not trust them to handle such an issue critically, which is why I am taking care of it myself”“Relax and trust me on this one, everything will be fine” A reassuring smile spread through his face, it was that smile that always gave Lisa hope through the storm. “What about you Harry, I know you have your problems and I might not be capable of solving them, but can't you share it with me?”“Problems? What are you talking about?”“The other time when I had issues with the designs for Arian fashion, you were so worked up that you talked about how I was just adding more problems to yours”“I did! I am so so
After two days, Lisa was finally discharged from the hospital. Arriving back at the mansion, the house was filled with Grandma, Uncle Eric, Aunt Sophia, and Olivia. From the look of things, they had spent the night there and seemed to have gotten acquainted with everything. “What are you all doing here!! ” Lisa wasn't certain if she should yell at them or just be quiet, but their presence was something that always sent her off the edge. “My lovely Granddaughter, welcome back home, you have made us so proud, and guess what, I prepared some medicinal soup for you” Grandma tugged her into a hug the moment she was in the living room, a big smile filled the old woman's face. “This doesn't answer my question, why are you all here, don't you all have something better to do, I thought I made it clear the other day at the hospital that I never want to have anything to do with you all again!!”“Lisa you need to calm down, this is high time you let hold of your mood swings and start acting ma
“What was that about?” Emily asked the moment the call ended. “It works as usual, Mother please make me something nice to eat while I extract some milk for Jay, I need to be at the office in an hour”“What is wrong with your company, don't they understand that you just delivered a baby?”“They will understand when all this is over, but for now, I have to deal with the pressing issue at hand” She replied as she rose to her feet and scurried upstairs. Lisa took her bath and got dressed in a simple blue gown that was past her knee, a black heel to go with it, and plain makeup that enhanced her beauty. By the time she was downstairs, Emily barely had a scoop when she checked her time and realized that time was no longer on her side, without wasting time, she dashed out of the house. The conference call was filled with all members of the board that seemed to be mumbling some inaudible words to their self and once the door swung open that announced her presence, the place instantly beca
Lexy did not hesitate in pulling some strings, She had one of her designers bring in a variety of professional outfits so that she could make a choice. The make-up artist soon arrived and did not hesitate in fisting her hands on her hair, it was carefully styled upwards with so strain of it touching her face. The artist went ahead to apply some light and yet professional makeup on Lisa making her look as lovely as ever. “Ma, I just had the editor prepare a script for you, how about you go through it while your makeup is still going on”“Thanks, Lexy, but I do not think that I will need a script for this, I know the truth and just what I want to say and that is what I am going to speak out, directly from my heart. So you can tell him not to worry, have got this covered”Although Lisa was boiling with nervousness, she tried to look calm, that way she did not end up losing face before the press. Once she was through with her makeup, she got on her feet, she wore dark blue trousers tha
