Anita gets really nervous standing there, wondering if Liam or his father is the one in the office. She swallows and stares downward as Brown continues to attend to the client. The office line rings shortly after the lady steps out."Yes, boss..." Brown responds, and Anita looks at him nervously. She doesn't want to lose her job yet, and she doesn't even know what the boss or his father is asking Brown about.Brown puts down the phone and looks at Anita as he stands up. "You can resume from where I left off, but don't come to work at this time next time.""Okay." Anita smiles at Brown and nervously settles in her office seat, still unsure who the boss is.She quickly attends to the next client, an elderly woman. Just then, her office line rings."Hello..." she picks up nervously, glancing at the client seated across her."Let her in," Liam says in a cold voice. Anita swallows hard and looks at the elderly lady dressed in a black suit sitting across from her. The elderly lady smiles at
"Come in," Liam responds, just as Joel pushes his office door open and walks in with a fair, yellow-haired lady. She's not as beautiful as Anita; she smiles at him, causing him to frown.She's wearing the company's new blue vest. Joel approaches his desk first, while she stands behind him, dressed in black trousers and black shoes."Good afternoon, Boss. This is the new secretary, Miss Ella James. The Senior Boss asked me to introduce her to you," Joel says. Liam's brows furrow at Joel, causing Joel to look confused. "Sir..." Joel stammers, not hearing Liam's response."You can leave with her," Liam finally replies, causing Joel's jaw to drop."But Sir, the Senior Boss said I should introduce her to you and let your secretary know about her, so as to make her work easier by Monday.""I said leave! Or are you both deaf!" Liam thunders, startling the young lady. She immediately runs out with Joel.Anita is just returning back from the cafeteria when Joel and the new secretary bump into
"Liam sat in his executive office chair, staring at Anita.She looked beautiful in her blue vest and short brown skirt that neatly reached her knees. The skirt was not too tight but rather loose.He took his time, appreciating her slender white legs, her curvy waist, her bosom, and finally her face. She raised her head to meet his gaze, wondering why he hadn't said anything yet. She had been standing in front of him for almost ten minutes and he was still silent.As their eyes met, Anita immediately looked down, her heart skipping a beat. She wanted to ask him why he had summoned her, but just as she was about to speak, he stood up from his office chair, which made her panic. "Sir, you sent for me?" she asked, taking two steps backwards."Yes I did," Liam replied as he walked away from his desk and towards her. She moved backward, not understanding the handsome man before her.He was taller than her, and she was sure she didn't even reach his shoulder height. As he walked past her tow
Anita stares at Liam in disbelief."No, you cannot do this to Temisa. Temisa will be heartbroken," Anita says as she moves away from Liam."I know. I never proposed to Temisa and I am sure she will understand. It was all an arranged marriage between my parents and hers, against my consent and I cannot marry a woman I don't love," Liam responds to Anita, as he sits in one of his guest seats and swirls it to face her. He smiles and picks up the blue wine bottle from his desk, opens it, and takes a gulp directly from the bottle. Anita wonders if the wine is alcoholic, questioning if that's what's causing Liam to say all this to her."Maybe you're drunk," she suggests, to which Liam laughs, looking handsome."I am not drunk. The wine is non-alcoholic. Would you like to taste it?" Liam asks Anita, a smile spreading across his dark face."No!" Anita quickly responds. Liam smiles and drinks from the bottle again, still gazing at her face."Actually, it's you I want," he says, and Anita look
"I have to go now, it's getting late," Anita says to Liam, wanting to change the conversation as she feels uncomfortable staring at his bare, chiseled, broad chest. "I can drop you home," he offers."No... I..." Words fail to come out of Anita's mouth and Liam holds her left hand, asking her to sit back down with him. "Seriously, you haven't done it with anyone?" he asks again, not believing her."Yes," Anita replies, meeting Liam's gaze. He chuckles at her response. "Why are you laughing at me? You've slept with a woman, right?" she asks him."Yes, I mean, I told you I had a girlfriend before, what did you expect?" Liam admits. Anita's face twists in jealousy at his words and he notices."Well, I don't have a boyfriend. I have to go now," Anita says, but Liam continues to hold her hand. "Can I be your boyfriend then? I would feel honored to be the first man you're with."Anita stares at Liam in horror and he stands up to meet her gaze. "I'm serious," he says, and before Anita can rep
Anita Baker, a 24-year-old woman, recently graduated from university. She is the first daughter of her parents and has five younger sisters. Her father is a banker, while her mother is a trader. She has a fair complexion, and is beautifully shaped with curvy hips. Among all her sisters, she is the only one with a white complexion, as the rest of her sisters have darker skin tones with some having a fair brown complexion. She resembles her mother but is far more beautiful, which often leads her father to accuse her mother of infidelity. He doubts he is truly her father as she is so white, but her mother has always reassured her that she is indeed his child. Her father even threatens to run a paternity DNA test on her as he cannot comprehend why she is so much whiter than the rest of her sisters. Her immediately younger sister, Flora, a 22-year-old dark-skinned beauty, also dislikes her even though she is two years older. About four of her sisters harbour resentment towards her except
In the Benson Group, Mr. Taiye Jackson sits in the front seat of the conference hall where they're having a meeting with various board members working under him from his other companies, all of which are registered under his name. He speaks to his personal assistant softly, whispering, "Introduce the new head to them now." They sit in the meeting hall, waiting to meet with the newly appointed CEO whose name has been announced but whom none of the workers have seen yet. Mr. Taiye Jackson is the former CEO, while his late father, Mr. Benjamin Jackson, was the first to establish the Benson Group of Companies, which means "Benjamin and Sons Group of Companies." They sit, waiting to witness the new handling of company ownership by Mr. Taiye's only son, Liam Jackson. He's rumored to be cold, unfilial, and the workers know once he assumes the position as the new CEO they will be dealt with as some have heard of him being arrogant, mean, and unappreciative. However, he's very hardworking and
Mr. John Patrick smiles at Mr. Taiye, "Oh, she studied Business Administration at the University of Nigeria." "That's fine then. Have her submit her CV to us once she's home. I'm sure we have more vacancies for newcomers like her. I will be expecting her response." "Father!" Liam quickly cut his father's speech off as his frown deepens. "You cannot just court me with her yet," Liam says, and his father smiles at him. "I know, Liam. I am only trying to compensate Mr. John Patrick for his goodwill and commitment in working with us for over twenty years," Mr. Taiye responded, while Mr. John only smiled faintly at Liam as he bowed slightly to leave. "I will be taking my leave now, boss. Thank you and congratulations once again, Liam." Liam nodded as he heard Mr. John's last words, then walked up with his father to the front of the meeting hall. He stood near the exit door and spoke, "I don't like all you just did right now father. There are many other ways to compensate Mr. John, not
