Maya“Why wouldn't I be arrogant?” Harry asked. He and I were in his office. I was standing in front of his desk, looking at the document I brought to him five minutes back. “I'm the most handsome and intelligent man in this company. Let's see, Maya. If you were asked to date any man here, who would it be?”“Anyone but you, Harry Smith. Being arrogant isn't attractive, you know. Try that on Kim.”“Are you sure? Would you be okay with me being with someone you hate?”“You can be with whoever you want,” I stated. “I don't care. Just sign the document because I have quite a lot to do now that Kim's working with you-know-who. I wonder why he needs two assistants anyway. His old one returned but he won’t let go of mine. Clearly, this man is here to ruin my life.”“Why are you in such a hurry?” He asked.I closed my eyes and inhaled. “Why do you always make an effort to delay me whenever I come here?”“Because I’m falling for you,” his eyes bore into mine. “What do you have to say to that?”
KimI didn't think I'd ever forget the look on Maya's face when I broke the news to her. Harry’s mocking comment was the icing on the cake. She looked so furious when she left I wouldn't have been surprised if I found her crying. The worst was yet to come for her. I had got Zane under my control and soon, I thought I’d be an executive in the company. After Maya left, Harry glared at me. “Get out of my office,” he said.My lips parted at his rudeness. Just a minute ago, he had been smiling. I had been here for two weeks but I hadn't been able to figure out if he was in love with her or not. Sometimes they didn't even greet each other but other times they conversed like they were the best of friends. Until that time, I thought he had nothing against me but I couldn’t be sure about that anymore. “You may be a senior executive but you can't treat me like this,” I said, assertively. “I'm an employee of this company just like you are. Just because you earn more doesn't mean you're better
Maya“Pass the ball!” I yelled. We were in a small soccer pitch in one of the city suburbs where our soccer club members practiced every Saturday. The club was not a professional one but a group of soccer enthusiasts. None of the members except the two of us had arrived yet even though it was time. Even the coach who was always here first had not yet come.“Not until you promise to tell me why you're so angry,” Anna said, hitting the ground with the ball and grabbing it when it bounced. “I hope it's not about Kim. I don't want her to turn you into a hateful person because you're not like that.”“That's it,” I said, running towards her while she broke into a run with the ball. I sprinted after her for a minute before giving up. She had always been faster than me though I was a few inches taller. I guess height didn’t matter when it came to speed.Playing soccer was my passion and a lot of people said it was weird because I was a girl. Some didn't believe that I actually liked it and th
Maya“Kim!” I called out from my office. Within seconds, she opened the door and peered into my office. Her workstation was just outside my office. “Could you please give me today's schedule?”She smiled. It was a fake smile that didn’t reach her eyes but I was now used to that. “Of course.” Closing the door, she disappeared and came back two minutes later with a printed A4 paper which she placed on my table. “Here's your schedule, Maya.”She had returned to work for me at the beginning of that week and I was almost glad she was back when I saw her. I had accumulated a tonne of unfinished work and had no choice but to start giving her tasks. She is usually very efficient and that worked in my favor.“Thank you,” I lifted the paper and looked through it. Everything was as should be. Eleven to twelve o’clock was not included as I instructed because I had some personal business to take care of. Instead of leaving immediately, she studied me. “You can go now.” I told her, wondering what
MayaSt. Felicity's Center for Visually Impaired Children was a very small establishment that survived on donations from a few people like myself. There were two buildings facing each other. One of them had three classrooms and a small dining room. The other had toilets, a common room and the offices. Behind the classroom building was a playground with several games and there was a wall fence made of red bricks and sand. The school enrolled mostly preschool children and helped them learn enough to start school.Most people never realized it but a lot of children with disabilities were abandoned in the streets almost every day. Some were left at the doors of shelters and orphaned children’s home because their parents were afraid of the costs of taking care of them. Others could not access education because a lot of people were ignorant of schools with special needs education which were very few and couldn’t cater for all those who got enrolled there. They did not realize that these wer
Maya“Ahhh!” I screamed when I found Zane Carrington outside my door. He was leaning on the opposite wall just staring at the door. Quickly composing myself, I faced the CEO while Harry opened the door.“Good evening, sir.” I said.Saying he did not look pleased is an understatement. The man looked like he wanted to whip us both. I hoped he would not think we had been doing something other than work back in there.“Mr. Smith,” he addressed Harry, I ignoring me like I was not even there. “What are you doing here?”Fxck respect. If this man wasn’t going to show me simple respect by acknowledging my greeting, I was not going to respect him. I knew his type, jerks who think they’re God’s gift to women. Just because I greeted didn’t mean I was interested in him. I glanced at Harry and felt like kissing him in front of that jerk just to prove a point but I remembered that I needed a job so just decided to walk away. He didn’t say anything, and I didn’t know why that annoyed me. Why did I w
Zane’s POV As soon as Harry started walking away, I growled. He turned back, confusion written all over his face, like someone who thinks he has heard something but is not sure. One glare towards him and he was hurrying away from me. I threw the door to Maya’s office and walked inside, passing by Kim’s desk. I opened Maya’s door and a sweet scent made its way to my nose. The blood in my body immediately warmed up and I felt a certain part of me hardening and starting to strain my pants. Her scent was enough to give me an orgasm. I spotted a white handkerchief on the table and picked it up, then pressed it against my nose. It smelled so good I started sniffing more. I stuffed the handkerchief into my pocket and walked out there before I did something crazy. I could not take it anymore. I needed that woman. Ignoring her the way I had done may not have been the best approach. When I was in my office, I thought it would make her think about me more, but now I realised it was stupid. Fin
Maya“I'm here for the Future of Insurance Conference,” I told the receptionist at Blue Landmark Hotel. “From which company?” One of them asked, scanning a paper with names. “Milner,” I reply, glancing around the lobby. “Sign here,” she instructed, handing me a blue pen and pushing the paper towards me. “Aren't you a little bit late?”I glanced at my watch. “No, it's ten minutes to eleven. I should've come earlier but I had some things to take care of.”One of my students had to go for a writing competition so I had to give her some last minute tutoring. “The conference started at ten-thirty.” “What?”“Your company's representatives came here at exactly ten.”“I've been so busy but my assistant told me it was starting at 11,” I said, running towards the lower conference room. Thank God it was on the ground floor.As ill luck would have it, Zane Carrington, our CEO was giving his speech when I got to the room. I scanned the room for an empty seat and noticed one next to Edward, th
