At the company, Jane was simmering as she flipped through the pages of one of the stockpile of documents waiting to be reviewed before the next one. That was why she was scared, instead of being happy. When she has been promoted by her boss to be his secretary. She had experienced a mild sense of grief with it because, it felt like she had been trapped before she could tell her boss how she felt. He was a workaholic who didn't give a hoot about his employees, well, unless they broke down due to stress.“God, for how long will i keep doing this?” She cried out in frustration.That was why she was flared up as she gazed vacantly across the room, the file she was carrying suspended on the air. She knew that she was slowly approaching breaking point. An approaching footsteps drew her back to reality. She hastened what she was doing, knowing that she would be in for serious trouble if he caught her not doing anything. At some point she was able to drift along and rest, but that was only
When Vincent arrived at the slated restaurant, he was already minutes late and he hated the cold weather, which had propelled him to use a leather jacket. He looked around the whole place and found Jessica seated at the edge, with the menu card in her hands."I was beginning to think that you wouldn't make it Vincent." Jessica said, the moment Vincent arrives at the seat."Let's go straight to the point." Vincent demanded, but a hand gesture from Jessica ordering him to stop, would force him to hold his horses."How about we act like civil humans and order meals and eat....think of it more like a date." Jessica stated."I am not here for any stupid date. I came here with a note of warning to you. That stunt you pulled back there at my house yesterday, I don't want it to repeat itself." Vincent warned.Jessica rolled her eyes and leaned back to the chair, staring at Vincent unfazed by any of his threat. "It pains me each time I realize that the only wrong I have ever done against you i
When Isaac arrived at his apartment, the weather had become warm once more and he turned on the air conditioner, while heading to his room to change into something simple. It was a long day and the night seemed to be a little bit long, he had hoped. However seeing some of the mess in the room got him pissed. When was Polly ever going to learn to arrange the entire house? He wondered.While he went down to get the pillows, he noticed something unfamiliar. He looked to see Polly's slippers at the front of his bathroom. Polly never used his bathroom before, so what was going on? He wondered as he made his way, slowly and silently to the door of the bathroom, where he leaned closer to get a grasp of what was happening.The shower was running and it appeared that someone was having their bath. The moment he opened the door, Isaac yelled out at the top of the voice as the scene of horror displayed itself right before his eyes.He was staring at the lifeless body of Polly, who appeared to h
Vincent was surprised by how horrified she looked. It was clear that whatever was going on in her mind regarding Jessica, must have brought her terrible traumas."I just need big information regarding her whereabouts. I need to understand that she is okay." Vincent lied through his teeth. He noticed the woman looking everywhere and then leaned forward to his side, apparently with the intent to tell him something. "Jessica was a crazy girl. When we discovered anomaly with her, we had to transfer her to the hospital, where she was given a therapist to stay with." Vincent froze for a second. All thoughts about Jessica flying through the course of his head.It was no wonder she acted strange. He thought to himself."Can I know where this therapist lives?" Vincent asked and almost immediately, the woman pulled her phone out and looked through the contact and handed it over to him."That's her number." She revealed and Vinc
Vincent couldn't take any of what the therapist was saying to him any longer. He wanted to be away from that place, he needed to reach out to his wife. "I will uhmm, I will be on my way." He announced and got up and left the room, even as the therapist wished to explain something to him.As he pulled into his car, he tried ringing Jane's line, but it wasn't going through and the moment he turned on the ignition of his car, he heard a beep on the phone and checked through. He gasped the moment he noticed Jane on the bed all asleep.It wasn't something bad, but the reality that it was an anonymous individual who had taken that photo horrified him. There was only one person, who could pull such a thing and that was Jessica.Vincent drove through the road like a raging bull. If anything happened to Jane, he was willing to find Jessica and kill her. When he arrived at his apartment, Vincent got down from the vehicle and rushed to the ho
Though he employed a new important staff without her acknowledgement, she wasn't going to just sack him. What were the other staff going to think of her?The company wasn't her private life where she would behave anyhow.But why on earth does it have to be the stranger she met in the elevator.Trying, her day was cursed.Everything gave her a headache.Jane looked up at Vincent with disgust. Their first meeting wasn't okay and sacking him might give up the wrong message. And if he tells everyone what she had done, social media won't haste."Can I have your papers?" Jane requested but Vincent 's frown has become his new mask."I hope you know, all documents are being submitted so, they should be on your desk." Vincent said angrily. " What is your name?" Jane asked as she flipped through some documents.Even Roxie wanted to act because she didn't understand why her friend was being harsh to the new staff
Alright, let me get this straight to be sure I understand. You're saying Mr Vincent asked if you would like to be a co-lead in the ongoing Gartrich Project? As in the same multimillion dollar project our company is working on alongside Rutledge Fay Inc., which took him several months to pull off?”“Keep it down, Tracy. Someone might hear you.” Jessica looked around, tucking a loose strand of hair behind the back of her ear. “Yeah, Gatrich project, the same one Broadway Enterprise, the company's major business rival showed interest in,” Jessica said with a shrug, fetching a can of fruit juice from the dispenser. “Ain't no way you'd be thinking about accepting the offer, girl! That's a big catch! Co-leading? One more word about thinking through the offer and I'm gonna whoop your ass really hard.”Jessica rolled her eyes, walking past a couple of chattering employees, greeting one of them, Cathy, the assistant of Gary Simon, he
Mrs. Vera stomped her feet as she knew that no matter what she said, her words would fall on deaf ears as Vincent had already made known what he'd do.She brought out her phone and dialed Arielle's number.Jane was already in the car Vincent sent when she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket."Hello, Mrs. Vera." She said immediately she picked up the phone."Jane darling," Jane could picture the wide smile on Mrs. Vera's face as she spoke."Will you keep on calling me Mrs. Vera? You are my granddaughter-in-law, and I want you to call me grandma." Mrs. Vera told Jane over the phone.Despite the marriage not being real, Jane still blushed at the mention of her being a granddaughter-in-law to someone."Yes, Mrs- Grandma."Jane blushed harder as she said the word."Where are you now, darling?""I don't know where we are currently, but we are coming home already.""Alright, d
