Lucy.I stood in front of my mirror and examined my look for the day. It was just going to be another boring day at Mr.Christian's office. Honestly, I didn't know how long I was going to work for him. I came to him with a request, but he didn't give me a reasonable answer and instead asked me to work for him, in order for him to spare Harrison Journal. Yet, I didn't know what his main motive was.It was long before I was going to work for him.It was initially two weeks for Mr. Frederick He had added another week, making it three weeks, however, two weeks had gone by already. Harrison Journal had just one more week to pay the sum of 10 million dollars. And when that is done, I will be out of Caspian Power, collect my pay for the time being, and leave for my former job.Grabbing my handbag from the table, I made my way out of my room. I closed the door behind me and made my way downstairs. I stopped midway on the stairs when I saw my Brandon sitting on the couch, with his glued to

Lucy. From the look of things, I don't see Mr. Frederick paying that money before this week runs to an end. He was left with just two days to pay the money. He hasn't been making any efforts. I didn't want to call him or talk to him about the money as a result of my relationship with him. If there was a way that I could leave his company and never go back, I would be grateful. However, right now, there was absolutely no hope for me. Where I was right now, I didn't know if I should be happy that I was working with Christian because it had made me taken some time away from Mr. Frederick. However, Christian wasn't making my life any better. How could he tell me not to eat too often? That I might become fat or add weight, if I eat too much. He didn't know that, it was one of my therapies when I was with my former Boss. The only thing that could keep my mind off the nasty things he used to say to me, was food. I was a foodie before working for my former Boss, but it

Christian. "What do you want again, Ophelia?" I Pivoted towards my maid, standing at the door, fidgeting with her fingers. Wasn't she old enough to do that? "Ummm, I want to know when you will bring the new maid as you promised?" She blinked at me , with hope in her eyes. Did I ever promised her that? Oh !oh! A smile curved on my lips. "Hopefully tomorrow. Just get back to work." She slightly bowed her head and went back inside. I strode to the car. Salvador was not driving me to work today. My father had sent for him. He said he had some work he wanted him to do, since Salvatore was the only person he could trust. After I left dinner with Miss Laura, I came back home that night. Her father had called me and asked when I was planning on getting married to his daughter. That was a funny question, because I didn't see myself getting married in the nearest future. Not to her, not to anyone else. However, to keep him invested in my project, I had told him to give me s

Lucy.I was surprised at what he said. How was that even possible? That was not in our agreement. How could I possibly quit my job, and go work for him in his house?He should settle whatever thing he has with Mr. Frederick, they shouldn't get me involved in it."We didn't have any agreements on that. How can I do that?"I looked at him, still in bewilderment. "If I can remember correctly, you came to my office and pleaded with me, which I accepted. We made a deal that you will work for me for two weeks, and by the end of those two weeks, your Boss should be able to pay the money..."He leaned forward with his eyes bulging holes on my face."However, he hasn't paid yet, which means that our deal continues."This man was something else. Wait! Didn't Mr. Frederick called me yesterday and told me that he had put out the lights at the company? Then what was all this about again? "You already put out the lights, so what again huh? Do you even know what that action of yours has caused me

Lucy.I was standing at the front gates of my house waiting for the person Mr. Christian said would come and pick me up. I wouldn't have mind, if he came by himself. I don’t know whom he wanted to come pick me up. What if it's someone who isn't trustworthy?Who would come and take me somewhere else, other than Mr. Christian's home. Well, no hard feelings. I was trying to be positive. I stood there, waiting for whoever would come. I had just two bags of clothes with me, one was red and the other black. It was so difficult for me to convince my mother about this new plan. However I had to explain everything to her detaily.I had even called Majorie to come by my side as backup. And guess what? My mother only listened when she spiced the whole thing up.Majorie was the one who made me change my mind about taking the offer. Hence, she was in a better position to convince my mother to let me leave. I didn't tell her what has been transpiring between Mr. Frederick and I. I
