The PM was a woman.She had rich blonde hair, a simple make up in her face and bright blue eyes. She looked to be around the same age as Nicole.A pencil was caught in between her teeth as she scrutinized the people who just walked into her office."They are from the business department, Dawn".She raised her eyebrows, "that prick Caleb sent only the two of you, a man and a woman. This is the first time he's doing something like this".Even though the PM wasn't the man Nicole was familiar with, it seems like they had something in common.They both hated Caleb."Good morning, I'm Davide". He flashed a smile.Dawn nodded her head, "and what is your partner called?"Davide was confused, he turned to look at Nicole who seemed to be lost in Dawn's beautiful blue eyes. It seems that her consciousness had drifted away from her, like she was lost in thought or something.Davide stepped on her foot."Fuck!" Nicole reacted to the unprecedented pain that flooded her body, she took two steps awa
Both Davide and Nicole were stupefied at the words that flowed from the woman's mouth."What do you mean by the drink of death?" Davide asked her."My daughter warned me against it. As it seemed, there's a video that's circulating round the internet of how that drink killed an old woman".It seems like even when the woman meant to explain her words, she managed to confuse the two people standing in front of her more.Nicole was flabbergasted, baffled, she was distraught and didn't even know how to feel nor what to say. Davide on the other hand was like his brain had been washed clean, it was unable to.process anything. Somehow, he needed the woman to explain what she meant in the manner which she would explain to a five year old child."It killed a woman on the internet?" Nicole repeated for clarification.The woman nodded her head, "ever since then, there has been news going around against that drink and many people are advised against it".Nicole chuckled, "did you come to.think th
Davide's frown remained on his face even after reading the text message from Zeta for the seventeenth time in less than ten minutes.Nicole was busy trying to market the products that were left for the cheapest price possible but it seemed like the people around them were hard headed and remained glued on their idea that it was a drink of death.Davide knew that what he was doing was wrong. He was standing by the corner re reading the message over and over again, his thumbs hovering over the screen of the phone thinking whether or not to send a reply to her.He didn't want to seem like he was anxious about anything. He had made a point all day to not check his phone, he made a mental note to not think of Zeta but she just had to text him which made him feel a kind of way.He still couldn't get over their last fight but there was nothing he could do. If that's what she wanted to talk about, he couldn't even guess if he should apologize to her or not."Are you having problems with your
Davide was suddenly thrown into an array of distraught. He glanced at the phone that had been in his hand all morning and as he opened the phone, what he was seeing was the text that Zeta had sent to him."We need to talk".And she was suddenly there, in front of him. Eyes holding eyes and the awkwardness flying in the air."Good, you're here" Dawn clapped her hands as she jumped off the table and approached them."I heard from the outlet, you made sales. How did you do it?" Her hands fell on Nicole's shoulders.Nicole cleared her throat, the scent from Dawn was irresistibly strong and not in the offensive way. It was too great of a thing that sent her consciousness packing, her rationality was flying through the window.Nicole cleared her throat again, "it was nothing really, all we had to do was drink from it".Dawn smirked and led Nicole away to the table to where the rest of the crew were sitting.There were only five in number and with the addition of Dawn, they were six."This i
Zeta nodded her head, removing her eyes from him in submission."Your plan about faking it, I don't think it'll work". She suddenly said.Davide frowned, "what do you mean?"Zeta was wearing a suit, she fished out an envelope from the inner pocket of her jacket and handed it over to Davide."He transferred you to the PR department. The leader there is someone who has an unspeakable loyalty to him. If you don't show up, he'll find out".Davide's frown grew deeper, "then how do I go about this?"Zeta shook her head, "I have no idea, but from the position where I've found myself, I'll try my hardest to look for anything that is out of the ordinary, anything that may expose the reason why he wants you out of this project".Davide nodded his head, "while in the PR department, I'll make sure to keep communication with Nicole so she'll fill me in on any details about the project, maybe there's something he doesn't want me to find out, a latent issue perhaps".Zeta shrugged, "perhaps. You jus
Davide was momentarily taken aback by what Ethan suddenly said. Then he remembered when Zeta had mentioned something about Derek and Lawrence being friends or something like that, but they surely knew each other.Still, he didn't want to assume anything and just decided to stay on a path that was neutral; neither wanting to believe that they indeed had a sort of friendship nor that they were nothing more than business partners.Davide's eyebrows furrowed, "how long have you known Uncle Lawrence?"Ethan shrugged, "since I was born. He mostly comes around during the weekends. Why are you looking him up?"Davide walked to where the boy was standing. His laptop had been placed on a table before he entered the bathroom. As he approached that area, he only casually closed his laptop to end the investigation of the child."I just had a few questions," Davide said nonchalantly."If you have any questions, you can ask me, there's nothing I don't know about Uncle Lawrence," Ethan bragged with s
To say that Davide was skeptical about listening to Avery's words was an understatement, he didn't believe a word that came out of her mouth. He thought that whatever she said or did was all practiced and calculated for something better.Avery was a woman who cared only about herself and her vile mother who needed special blood to survive like she was some sort of vampire who could only feed off of his blood.Davide was in the elevator, looking at his reflection on the steel walls and wondering how on earth he stayed years in a marriage that never in any way benefited him. All he ever wanted was for her to love him.back, he believed wholeheartedly in patience, that if he gave her time, someday she would love him back.Unfortunately, that day never came, though he didn't grow tired of her, he didn't regret waiting for so long but what he regretted was putting a full stop on his life just to attend to her needs. He had such regrets because basically, she didn't deserve it; she made fun
Davide's eyes went round, he hadn't seen that coming. The news was rather astounding to him. However, no matter how much he hated Avery, he couldn't allow her just abort his first child."Why would you do that? That's unacceptable!" He yelled at her.Avery frowned, "don't you dare raise your voice at me!" She yelled back, "have you suddenly lost your senses?"Davide was infuriated, even till now Avery refused to acknowledge his stand in their godforsaken marriage."I have not lost my senses, I am only stating facts, I am claiming my right!"Avery chuckled and pointed a finger at him, "you have no rights whatsoever, and even if by chance you were to, you cannot yell at me. You are insignificant, you're only needed for your blood and the rest of you is useless. You are a wretched baffoon who should not be speaking a word of contrary after i have stated what I desire!"Davide shook his head, he could not stand for such insults, he looked around thw place but he could not find the right
