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
Even after the two weeks of her encounter with Raymond, Sarah couldn't take her mind off him. She was so obsessed with him that she didn't mind going the extra mile to do what she had in mind. Before Raymond came into the picture, she wasn't punctual at work but ever since she began to stalk him, she was always at work even before Raymond would arrive. She would try to talk to him, but he would snub her completely and go his way. That morning, Sarah had just finished having an intimate session with her husband. While she was cleaning up, an idea struck her mind. She wanted to discard it at first on the grounds that it wouldn't work out, but after several thoughts, she decided to go with her plan. That morning, Raymond sat behind his desk, staring into space as he reviewed his plans in his head. The previous day, he had spoken to his lawyer, who promised to get back to him before the end of the week. The original plan was discarded because Julia had sought help from he
On seeing the messenger, Raymond began to mumble prayers to his maker to save him from trouble. He didn't know the motive of the messenger, but deep down, he felt it was Sarah's doing. He continued to pray in his head until Mayor walked in. After a sort of eye-communication with Raymond, he turned to the messenger, who was waiting for the perfect time to speak. “What's your mission?” He asked. “The CEO wants to see Mr. Raymond” he replied and then stepped out of the office Raymond's heart fell at his words. He knew it was going to come to this, but what he didn't know was, it was going to come sooner than expected. Sighing, he lowered himself to his seat as he blamed his maker for unanswered prayers. “What business do you have with the CEO and his wife? It seems you are already gaining grounds in the company leaving an old cargo like me” Mayor smirked with his hand across his chest. “I don't know man, things aren't going smoothly again” he cried Mayor gave him a con
