“Don’t cry, you will make me cry too, I am so happy for you,”Keira said as they broke the hug and Dani wiped her tears. “I can’t believe I got it right on the first try, a lot of people try many times before it works for them. I am among the lucky few to get it right on our first try Keira, do you know how amazing that is?”Dani let out as more tears found their way to her eyes, she wiped them off too and went to get her phone, she took a photo of the kit and also took a short video of herself and Keira just to keep as a memory of the time she first found out she was carrying. “Now, we just need you to get a laboratory confirmation test,”Keira advised. Dani already had plans to go get tested to be sure. “I will be sure to do that, God! I am so happy, I got my job back even if it is just temporary, I am going to be a mom too, the universe decided to favor me today,”Dani let out in excitement. All the uncertainty and pains of the last two weeks disappeared. She liked the feeling o
Everything was going fine again and for once Luciano couldn’t deny that it was because of her, firstly, he walked into the office and was greeted with his morning coffee just the way he liked it and when he checked his table, it was well organized with all the file he needed for the day arranged for him and also his schedule that had been over the place for the past two weeks suddenly felt doable. She just got back but he already felt at peace and was ready to work again. He didn’t need a prophet to tell him that he would have to stick with her and make sure she stayed with him, he would have to be nicer to her and also let her take breaks, even though he hated working with other people, he realized that made it worst for him when she had left because he couldn’t work well with other so he decided that with her supervision, he would be working with his other secretaries whom he had called back even the one he had fired because of her and they will all be back at work by Monday. Danie
“Fuck! I am so tired!” Dani let out as she stretched herself. She had been working on her laptop for the past three hours even though work ended an hour ago, she didn’t want to leave what she was doing to the next day as they had a busy day ahead and Luciano wanted her to be done with it by the end of the week. She didn’t want to disappoint him and get on his bad book again. She covered her face with both hands and sighed deeply into her palm. She was beyond exhausted but she couldn’t leave until she was done. The past week has been hectic for her but she didn’t complain because she was just glad to be back working which means all her plans were once again going accordingly. Plus, Luciano added to what he already paid her for last month. He said it was a bonus for what had happened. It was shocking for her but she needed the money so she thanked him and thought of the money each time he did something that pissed her off. To be fair, he has been a lot better to work with over the past
“Thank God you did, I was going to eat my leftover sandwich before I went home. I am so hungry,”She said and filled her mouth with food again. there was silence in the room, she looked to see that he wasn’t eating. “Are you not going to eat?”She asked. “That’s not for me, I just got it in case there was someone else here.”By someone, he meant Ella, the new secretary that she had found crying when she came to collect her passport the day that she got her job back. She was a good girl and a fast learner. If she didn’t have a date, she would probably have been here with Dani. “Oh, I can keep it in the refrigerator and she can microwave and eat when she wants,”Dani said. She finished eating and wiped her mouth. All the while being conscious of the fact that Luciano was in the room and was watching her. She didn’t look at him but she could feel his eyes on her. She was so tempted to ask him why he was sitting there and watching her instead of just leaving but she didn’t ask. “Thank
“He fell asleep,”Dani voiced. She couldn’t just walk away and leave him sleeping there and she didn’t think waking him up would be a good idea either. She let out a sigh and sat back on the seat that she had vacated before. She glared at him. Her expression softened when she looked at him well. He looked so peaceful and calm in his sleep. She has worked with him for five years and directly under him for three years now but this was the first time she was seeing him sleep. Even when she went over to his house when they had to work through the night. She was always the one to fall asleep. Never once has he fallen asleep while they work and now, here he was sleeping in the secretaries’ office. She so wanted to take a picture for a keepsake. She took out her phone and took a few pictures even though she knew he might kill her if he woke up and found her taking pictures of him. “How can he be so beautiful even while sleeping? This should be illegal,”Dani whispered, looking at the photos
The next three weeks went by in a blur. All Dani did in those three weeks was work, eat, and sleep. She tried her best to take breaks between work and made sure to eat healthy and rest as much as she could. Over the last three weeks, she made sure to repeat the pregnancy test at least twice a week and so far, everything was still okay based on the test reports. Today however was the day she decided to go to the hospital. She needed to get a scan done and also register for antenatal. It was the first time she was taking a break during the week since she returned back to work for Luciano. It was the first time she was getting any kind of break. The office has been busy since she got back and most of the work fell on her because Luciano made it so. “Luciano,”She mouthed and rolled her eyes. She thought he would change the way he bossed her around after she came back and after the way he had treated her that night when he had been drunk and got her food. false. it was as if that night d
“It is my business, I pay you to work for me, Danielle, I need you here because this is important to me. So please, come through for me, please,”Now he was begging. Not only was he self-centered, but he was also very manipulative. “I am begging you. you can take tomorrow off. This came on and I have to be there. You have to come with me, Danielle. You know I need you,”He went on. Dani hated him so much for manipulating her. She hung up and turned on do not disturb mode. She picked up her bag and walked out of her apartment. She got in her car and started it with every intention of driving to the hospital but his pleading voice kept echoing in her head. “Fucking miserable man,”Dani cursed out and drove out of her driveway. She arrived at the company about twenty minutes later, she cursed at herself all the way there. She angrily got out of the car. She didn’t know if she was more angry at Luciano or herself for not being able to stand her ground and tell him no. She grudgingly got
“I didn’t do anything that your other secretaries couldn’t have done for you. You just want to always have your way and I am the fool for showing up.” Dani let out. “Dani, come on. I already told you that you can do whatever business you have to do tomorrow, don’t ruin this happy moment by nagging. What was so important anyway?”His whole sentence was bad but the last part was just off. It made her so angry. “I told you that’s none of your business. Today was important to me but you still found a way to make me come to work even after I told you a week before today that I would be off,”Dani let out. She felt emotional and was so close to tears but she didn’t want to cry here in the lobby of a hotel with her egoistic boss as an audience. “I know you are going to say something like you pay me well to do my job, well don’t because I already know that. It still doesn’t excuse how you always want to have your way and not let other people get what they want. I had something really impo
