Raymond tried to turn his face aside, but Julia was quick to grab his face.

“Say something” she snapped

“What job offer does your family have?” He asked.

“I don't know yet but trust me, it's going to be good” she said and at the same time she was trying to believe her word.

Since Julia had no idea on the kind of work her family was offering, Raymond began to brainstorm on all the possible job offers a company could offer.

It became more difficult for him when he realized that he had no idea what kind of company her family operated and the services they rendered.

He brainstormed for a long time before coming up with the least job he could think of.

“What if I'm assigned to work in the lavatory?” He asked.

Julia cast him a glare, then whacked him hard across his shoulder.

Raymond wasn't hurt, so she whacked him again with all the energy she could muster.

“That was hard,” he groaned as he rubbed his aching shoulder.

“Really?”

“Of course. Moreover, it was just a simpl

    After changing into her night clothes, Julia flopped on her bed and within a few minutes she was fast asleep, but that was not the case with Raymond. He was throwing tantrums as he paced around his bedroom. He had no idea that something like this would happen someday, so he wasn't prepared for it.Just when he thought he would take a break from work to spend time with Julia as he had planned earlier, she suddenly came up with a decision of seeking employment in her father's company for him.He was beyond pissed and there was nothing he could vent his anger on.Time was far spent, calling Niko or Adam meant disturbance, so he tossed the phone he was gripping aside and then flipped on the edge of his bed.He remained in that position for a while before sitting up and then falling back again. This routine went on for a while before he decided to watch Netflix to take his mind away. With this decision taken, he groped his way to the living, then turned on the TV.“It's almost dawn. I

    A day before Raymond was set to resume in Daxx Limited, he handed over to Niko to take over his duties as the CEO. For the few days he had left, he had taught Niko all that he needed to know about managing his company effectively and being a fast learner, he was able to grab the facts quickly. After a long day at work, Adam drove him home before heading to his house to call it a day. On stepping into the living room, the aroma of freshly cooked rice hit his nostrils, causing his stomach to rumble. Smacking his lips against each other, he made his way to the kitchen to join Julia. Thinking she was not aware of his presence, he sneaked up behind her and just as he was about to grab her, she turned around then shoved a piece of meat into his mouth. “Go wash up, dinner would be ready before you know it” Chewing on the meat, he turned around then went to his room. On his return, food was already on the dining table and Julia was waiting patiently for him. “Thank you” he said be

    At the end of work, Raymond stormed out of the company in a rage. It was past 9 pm, and before he got home he was going to spend about thirty minutes on the road. Driving was going to be difficult for him because he was drained from the day's work and everything Mr. Brooks had said to him. He refused to think about what had transpired earlier that day. He prefers to swallow everything, then vent out his anger when he gets home to his wife. As he pulled himself to the garage where he had parked his car, he was scrolling through his phone. His first option was to call Adam to ride him home but considering the time, he kicked that option out. The city had an app where Uber could be ordered, or a driver could be requested for. He requested for a driver, paid for his services, and was informed his driver would join him in the next thirty minutes. Relieved, he pulled his car door open and then lowered himself on the seat. “Fuck” he groaned with his eyes tightly shut. He was

    Raymond had just finished the task Mayor had assigned to him when a messenger walked in. She looked from Raymond to Mayor before focusing her gaze on Mayor who was fast asleep on his chair. Ever since Raymond joined him, he no longer functioned. He was always sleeping or, every so often, he was out of the office. He didn't mind staying out for the whole day because he felt Raymond was around, and he was going to handle things perfectly. Raymond didn't complain, even for once. The messenger was lost on what to do, so after staring at the sleeping beauty for a while, she cleared her throat loudly. Mayor jerked from his sleep. Thinking it was Stella because of her intimidating stance, he began to fumble with his spec that was determined to hit the ground. When he stabled himself and discovered it wasn't Stella, he frowned and with a scowl asked, “What do you want?” “I was asked to hand this to you,” she said and after a curt bow, she took her leave. Raymond, on the

    Julian had just left the window for the third time within ten minutes. It was past the time Raymond always returned, but he was yet to walk in through the door like he always did. She had called him several times, but he wasn't picking up her calls, so she thought he was choked up with work. Deep down, she was regretting why she went to meet her family for help. Instead of helping, they were punished. Angry, she kicked the couch so hard that her foot began to ache. “Ugh” she groaned as she lowered herself onto the same couch she had used to inflict pain on herself. Pursing her lips, she picked up the remote that was lying nearby and then turned on the TV. She wanted to watch a movie to distract her wandering mind, but instead of concentrating, she was looking at the door. Raymond had just finished work for the day, so he decided to head home, but unfortunately, his car broke down, so he had to call for a mechanic to fix it. He spent over two hours waiting for his car

    Getting to the office, Raymond sat down to work as usual. This time around, Mayor decided to show up a minute before his official resumption time. With a grin, he said, “I made it in time today, right?” He smirked. “Good for you then” Raymond retorted After completing the file he was working on, he placed his laptop on his table. “Come and see” he called out to Mayor who had already taken his position to doze off that morning “I'm not interested in sports news” he groaned before he didn't want to leave his comfort zone “I never said it's a sport. Just come around” Raymond said with a stern voice this time around. Mayor bought his tone, jumping to his feet, he waddled to Raymond's desk. With a smile playing on his lips, Raymond tapped the play button of the animation he had created for the company. “You don't mean it” Mayor yelled as he veered backwards He was surprised at his work. He never thought Raymond was going to pull through the task, that's why he didn't bo

    Mr. Hayden was getting pissed at his confidence level. He had expected him to be whimpering because of the conditions he was reeling out for him. At this point, he was getting convinced that Raymond killed the job on his own, but he couldn't voice it out because of Mr. Brooks. Earlier, Mr. Brooks had asked him to make sure he frustrates Raymond, saying he knew he had gone through corners so that he would keep his job and impress him. Left for him alone, he would have let him be, but his boss was going to relieve him of his job. Acting as an angel at the expense of his job was a no-no for him. “I know why you are confident,” he said to resume the conversation. “That is?” “You think I would allow you to go home and meet your helper? No way, that's the last thing on my mind” “So where do you want me to be for 72 hours?” Raymond scoffed. He never imagined the conversation was going to take this turn. Snapping his head at the screen, he saw Mr. Brooks smiling back at him.

    Finally, it was Monday, which meant Raymond's break had elapsed. During his break, he didn't sit back doing nothing, he went about his own business, straightening things that needed to be straightened and also making sure all his staff were not slacking in their respective duties. One thing Raymond was grateful for was that Niko and Adam didn't slack in their duties of upholding the company when he was away. That morning, he woke up early as usual so that he would get to work before 8 a.m. After preparing, he decided to stop by the kitchen. As usual, his food was on the table, but Julia was not around.He was about to go and search her room when she walked into the kitchen. “Good morning” he greeted “Good morning. I hope my family doesn't come up with something to spoil your mood for the week” Julia said as she went about cleaning the dishes she had used in preparing the meal. “They won't. I'm already in their good books now” he replied with a smile as he settled down to his m

The moment Raymond heard Mrs. Brooks' voice, he froze against the chair he was occupying. His hands immediately became sweaty as he braced himself up to face her. Niko and Adam looked at him in pity. They knew the history between Raymond and Julia's parents even if it seems they had rectified their differences and they didn't want to interfere.Immediately Julia's parents entered the room, Raymond stood up from his seat while they looked at him with disdain before they bypassed him and went straight to Julia who was still unconscious but was now stable.

    Meanwhile, Julia was holding her head in pain, she screamed in sheer horror as she saw the blood streaming down her face, staining her clothes in the process. The noise coming from all corners made her so uncomfortable coupled with the pains she was facing. "What has Dina done to me, my head." She was still screaming when she felt Raymond's body against hers. Lifting her up, he held her tight and then placed her down on the floor."Listen to me Jul, nothing is going to happen to you, okay, I can't believe Dina would go this far.” He said, checking her pulse. Tearing his shirt, he began to press it against her wound. It didn't take long before the cloth became crimson red. "It hurts Raymond, it hurts." Julia screamed as tears continued streaming down her eyes as she lay helpless in Raymond's arms. He has never been in this kind of situation before and so, he was so confused."Please Julia wake up, you can't die on me please." Raymond whispered in her ears as tears brimmed in his ey

You thought I was kidding? Damn! I wonder why a lot of people take me as a joke when I'm damn serious, Dina cringed, throwing her hands in the air.

Are you even thinking?” He yelled, still trying to move but couldn't. “Get your hands off me.” He yelled, pushing him but he wouldn't budge. Whi

    The two continued bickering with no hope of stopping anytime soon. While Raymond was using their hassle to keep himself from zoning out, at the same time, he was looking at the door as he awaited Julia's arrival. They had gone to get the perfect dress for the party scheduled to hold the next day at the shopping mall.“Bye.” He said the moment he saw Julia walking towards him with a broad smile on her lips. “How do I look?” She asked, swirling around for him to have a clear view. “Super.” He said, smacking his lips with a little smile. “You're sure.” She asked, raising her brow at him. “Of course. It's as if the tailor had you in mind when he was making the dress.” He said, accompanying it with a wink whilst she blushed shyly. After picking a few more things, the couple's retired home for the night. Raymond knew better not to tell her anything concerning Dina's plan.

Are you angry because I defeated you in our little game?” She yelled back at her, rolling her eyes to the back of her head. “That's not the point here.”“Then what is it? Speak now or forever remain silent.” She snapped, cutting a large chunk of her meat. “They are a couple, we shouldn't make things tough for them.” Laughing, Dina said, “Couples my foot. Also, I want you to clear that motion from your head. We aren't a team or anything. We decided to play a game and I beat you to it.”“I know I lost but come to think of it, you are taking this thing too far. If this continues, I'm scared you wouldn't mind doing something that would mar their marriage forever.” She mumbled. Leaning towards her, she said with a little voice

    “Ava isn't the culprit here.” Niko suddenly said the following day when he, Julia, Adam and Raymond were gathered around a table to decide on which way the party was going to go. “Really?” Julia asked, leaning close, eager to hear everything that he wanted to say. “Yeah. Thanks to the spyware installed unknowingly to them on their phones.” He said, gritting his teeth and seething with anger at the same time. For the next few minutes only Niko and Julia talked. Raymond and Adam on the other hand are just watching as they listen to their conversation. “So who's the culprit now?” Adam asked with a firm voice, hitting the butt of his pen against the table. “Dina of course.” Niko replied and immediately Julia slumped on her seat, all the while she was thinking Dina was the innocent one. The previous day, she even went ahead to share lunch with her, promising to help her find someone else. “This is crazy.” She said, shaking her head as she bit her bottom lips. “If you want, I can sho
