Charlotte returned to her office broke hearted. This wasn't how she envisioned her stay in the company, working as a clerk. She thought if she had seen the president and reported to him, perhaps the president would have talked some senses into him, and the harassment would stop.But unbeknownst to her, Xavier was the president, and he had already prepared a termination of employment for the manager. Harassing employees and trying to make them cajole to your request is not authorized in the employee's manual.Charlotte sat quietly, thinking if she should let him have his way with her, or just resign. But just then, she thought of calling the one person that has been her backbone since she became pregnant.Charlotte quickly picked up her phone and dialed her best friend contact Alley.After multiple ring's, she didn't pick up, and just when she wanted to drop the call, Alley called her back."Hey, sorry about that, I left the phone In my bag." Alley apologized, and switched the call to s
Charlotte arrived at the hotel a bit late due to traffic, and she had to spend some time with her girls, before leaving the house. While she was at home getting dressed up, she received a notification from the manager with the room number.She took the stairs, and strode to the room, he was waiting up for her. She felt her stomach twisted, and it made her uncomfortable. Somehow, she was scared something might go wrong.Charlotte pushed the thought aside, and continued striding to the room number. As soon as she step her foot inside, and closed the door behind, she saw a dead body on the floor and quickly used her hands to cover her mouth to restrain herself from shouting.Before she could regain herself from the state of shock, the door barges open, which made her heart thump. It was like someone was already waiting for her to walk inside.Charlotte vigorously spun around to see the figure, and she came into view with a lady in her mid-thirties, but she doesn't recall seeing her.'Is s
Charlotte was taken back to the cell and locked up. After the mention of the incident from years back, she turned mute, and couldn't say a word. Xavier had to ask them to take her back.He waited for the DPO, who just received a call, and excused himself out of the office. He wasn't sure why he had to come bail her out, but somehow he thought that was the best he could do for her.He was still waiting, when he heard footsteps, and spun around to see the DPO."Mr Xi, thank you for your patience, the call was urgent." He apologized earnestly. Xavier doesn't wait for people."There's no problem. Regarding the lady, I want her released today. She can't stay in there."The DPO was a bit scared, he knows it would be hard to turn him down. "Mr Xi, you Know what you're asking me to do is against the law."Before Xavier could reply, a male cop strode into the office."Boss, the doctor, and the manager from the hotel are here." The cop announced."Right in time, Please let them inside, I was wai
Charlotte and Alley step down from the car. Alley pulled out a twenty box and handed it over to the cab driver.They both turn in the direction of the house. Charlotte was about to march on her heels, but Alley was quick to stop her."Best, you look so calm, you don't look like someone who Just got bailed from the station."Alley expected her to be nervous and disturbed over the incident, but Charlotte looked calm.Charlotte gazes at her toes. She spent the night crying, thinking of how she could convince the cops of her innocent, but thinking no one would believe her, she decided to not panic, the truth will eventually prevail."I'm ashamed of myself, people might think this is the type of life I live, when they find out, I have octuplets.""What are you talking about? No one will judge you. Things like this happen, it's not your fault you fell a victim. We just need to find who used your fingerprint." Alley responded, hoping she won't let the incident disturb her."Best, look at me,
It was Monday morning, Charlotte marched into the company with a tight-lipped smile on her face. The entire California knows what happened, and she's already a center of attention.Charlotte has been acting strong, that's the only way she thought she could overcome it until everything is over, and the murderer is caught.She step into the reception, and was greeted by the receptionist. Most eyes were glued to her, pointing fingers at her, but she turned a blind eye, and ignored their existence."Hey Charlotte, Good morning.""Hello, Good morning. How was your weekend?""It was fine. Please can you give this to the president, I was on my way to his office, but since you're here, don't know if you can help me do it."Charlotte placed her bag on her shoulders."Of course, let me do it." She stretched her hands to collect it. She felt it was an opportunity for her to see him, and appreciate him for what he did for her."Hey, I'm sorry about what happened, I never knew you passed through a
Xavier put off his laptop, he stood up, and wore his jacket blazer. He picked up his phone, and strode out of his office.As he strode out of his office, he met his personal assistant by the door frame, with his gaze down, shivering in fear."I'm on my way to the mansion, Inform Ms Charlotte to go to the station before heading home." Xavier breathes out, and turned a blind eye, not caring if he was shivering.Xavier was mad at him, if he hadn't picked up the wrong Charlotte years back, Arya wouldn't have stayed in his mansion, spending extravagantly for the past four years."Yes, master, I will do that." He responded, and Xavier walked out of the company.The guard, waiting for him, quickly opened the car door for Xavier to get inside."Take me to Ms Charlotte mansion." The guard quickly put on the car engine and hit the road.Xavier stayed quiet, thinking of how to handle the whole situation. Arya has spent extravagantly for the past four years, he never took any action to stop her b
People walk to the deceased, dropping flowers besides the casket. Proper rites have been carried out for the deceased, and he is about to be buried.Mr Xi stepped forward holding a flower in his hands, he pulled out his glass and wiped a tear from his eyes. The manager has been humble to him, he has worked for him for more than twenty years, and his sudden death touched him.He stood there for about five minutes looking at the dead body, mumbling some words to his ears only.Xavier strode forward, and patted his father's back, consoling him. The manager was close to him, but that wouldn't have stopped him from terminating his employment if he had not died in the hotel.Xavier and his father dislike rules being broken by employees. They believe their employees come first, and in other to protect their rights, no one is above the rules, all employees must abide to the employee's manual."I know you're heartbroken, but we can't stay here the whole day. You're the only one we're waiting f
Arya arrived home to find the maids bringing out her few clothes, after two days of staying out. She stood in a daze at first, not sure if she was seeing things vividly. She hadn't been home in two days, she had no idea if something happened in her absent.She drags her legs to where her bag was dumped on the floor, and halt, looking at the only bag she had."Why are my clothes outside? Who ordered you to bring out my clothes?" She thundered, thinking the maids would be scared of her like always, but she got the opposite.The two maids burst out laughing at her reaction, she always acted bossy, today was their turn."Mr jasper did, you're leaving the house you cheat. You acted all mighty and rich, but you were all faking it."Arya couldn't believe her ears, and how boldly the maid replied to her."What are you talking about? What is wrong with you? Have you lost it?""No Arya, we haven't lost it. You're the one who has lost it. A psychopath, that's what you are."Arya's eyes widened w
