Mark stood behind the kitchen counter stirring the curry in the saucepan. It was his day off from work, so he decided to prepare lunch and give Michelle a treat as she was tired of eating pizzas. He added a little quantity of water to the curry before paying attention to Michelle.He asked her to repeat the question she asked him earlier and she did. "How do you find our environment? Isn't it looking a little bit strange to you?" he heard her ask from the sitting room."No, It is okay. it is quiet and serene just as it had always been and I like it," Mark replied, still stirring the curry."What about the new neighbors?" Michelle asked him."They are cool, at least they ain't troublesome and loud," Mark replied with admiration for their new neighbors who live next door. They were old married couples who were over seventy and still very much healthy and in love with each other. They trim the flowers together, attend to their cats together and also go out together. Mark wished for t
Mr. Davis continued with the way he was treating Mark and also continued making him a laughing stock among his fellow workers by making him look stupid or bringing up an unnecessary matter which would do so.May became angry and took it upon himself to stop it which Mr. Davis noticed.He noticed that May would always stand up for Mark whenever he is being ridiculed or mentioned among his colleagues.He got angry and decided to deal with her because he was in a higher rank and she was under him.He started by promoting by May to the position of his assistant which May accepted gladly thinking it was a good opportunity for it as it meant, a higher rank and an additional salary, unknown to May.She was about to start being punished by being the only worker who stood up against how Mark was being treated.* Mr. Davis was working in his office when May rushed into the office panting heavily. “What is it?” He asked and glared at her. Her eyes widened in their sockets as she stared
Ma'am Elizabeth was very busy in her home office in the mansion, sorting some files. These days have been hectic for her, and she hardly has a chance of attending to her personal needs.

Bella used to work for her as an undercover agent regarding underworld matters.She had been out of the country all this while and was finally back.After some minutes, Bella walked in with her usual elegance and glamor. Ma'am Elizabeth smiled at her before offering her a seat. She asked the servant that escorted Bella in to get her some snacks, the servant bowed and left."It has been a long time," ma'am Elizabeth said with a smile, she dropped the files she was sorting and focused on Bella."Yes ma'am, but I'm fully back," Bella replied, returning the smile."How is your father doing?"

Bella was able to find Mr. Jude in his hideout in less than 24 hours. She reached out to him with the lie that she was an Assassin who needed a job. Mr. Jude had accessed her through a video call which they had before he invited her to the warehouse he was hiding, Bella didn't hesitate to share it with ma'am Elizabeth who became very happy as she knew that Mr. Jude was closer to his death.Bella walked toward an old warehouse in sight. She was dressed to kill and looked extremely gorgeous, as she passed, the men guarding the warehouse couldn't stop staring at her. She walked confidently with a slight smile on her lips while her costly designer heels clicked lightly on the tarred floor."I want to see your Boss," she announced to the next group of guards standing beside the doorway which was leading to the boss' chamber."Your identification card please," one of the guards said."Let her in, she is the boss' guest," a guard said when he approached them. They made way for her and she wa
Philips, ma'am Elizabeth's son who had been away in another country finally called that he is coming back to the country.Ma'am Elizabeth Joy knew no bounds when he told her about it on the phone.She knew things would turn around with Philip's presence. She felt happy that she would finally have a backup after trying to do everything she had been doing so far by herself. Everywhere was extremely busy in the home of the ma'am Elizabeth, her domestic staff was busy preparing for the welcome party being held in the honor of Philips who was coming back to the country after staying away for ten years.Ma'am Elizabeth decided to buy new clothes to grace the occasion and look good in the ceremony.She was in her room selecting expensive attire and jewelry to wear for the ceremony.

Michelle refused to show up for her brother's welcome ceremony which her brother noticed. He called their mother aside to ask and she used it as an opportunity to ridicule and blame Mark."Mom, it's already three hours into the ceremony and Michelle is yet to show up," Philips said worriedly as he checked his time."I think she wanted to but her stupid husband will never let her come," Ma'am Elizabeth said with a disgusted face even though she knew she was the reason why they ain't showing up."Has Michelle married already?" Philips asked surprisedly. Her mom never told him that his sister is married or got married."Yes son, against my will. She did it against my approval and what hurts me more is that she didn't marry a real man but a useless one," ma'am Elizabeth said, feigning a hurt face."What are you talking about Mom?" Philips asked her.She walked closer to him and touched his shoulder before saying."It's Mark. She ended up with him," Philips couldn't believe what he heard a
Mark resumes work after the break given to him by the manager. He had earlier requested a break to look closely after Michelle when they came back from his mother-in-law's place. The manager assembled everyone because he had an announcement to make which concerns them. Everyone assembled in the meeting hall including Mark and Mr. Davis.The manager climbed with them onto the long meeting desk and faced everyone."I am here to announce that our company will be participating in this year's national contract hunt again, just as we always had been doing for the past years," The manager said, which got the workers whispering among themselves while others laughed out loud, unable to hide away the laughter building up in them.It seemed as if what the manager had said was very funny but Mark didn't find it funny. He looked at all of them, from the manager to the last person.The manager didn't seem offended by their attitude toward what he said."Sir, don't you think we should forget about
After the manager agreed to everyone's suggestion, he further decided that they would be submitting their ideas in three days after having a change of mind. It would be better if it is submitted earlier so that everyone can start working on the chosen idea together.Mark went home happy that he would finally do what he ever wanted, which was to share his unique ideas with people who would care to listen. He happily stopped at a pizza shop and bought a pack of pizzas that they would be sharing that evening.When he got home, he found the dining table already arranged for dinner. He was surprised as he skimmed the food on the table, it was much.He headed to the kitchen to meet Michelle, still arranging more dishes."Is today my birthday?" Mark asked when he got into the kitchen, taking her unaware which got her startled before she turned to look at him."Oh honey, you are back. You took me by surprise," Michelle said with a smile and kissed him on the lips lightly."And of course not,
