/Meelah’s POV/One would think that what my bestie said to me was more than the words “Brian’s got you” because I can’t just seem to get it out of my head. A part of me wants to dwell on the fact that Eden may be right, but in a second thought Brian Kings has managed to wrap my girls around his finger and everyone of them has been speaking up for him, so it is very likely that Eden didn’t see anything spectacular and she just made the statement because she think he is a good person, not knowing the kind of person that he really is. If there is one thing that talking to Eden has helped me with today, it is the fact that it has helped me calm my nerves that were all over the place, and now I can have my breakfast in peace” I mutter as I open the freezer to take out one of the overnight oat that Eden made for me. I prep my oat for consumption, but this time around I opt for chocolate as my toppings because I am not ready for my stomach to start acting up. “It’s time…..” I squeal as I
/Meelah’s POV/I steady myself after Stephanie literally tossed me in Brian’s direction and I follow closely behind Brian because there is a whole lot of missing links in the so called spoilers that Stephanie gave that I can’t just wait to meet the chairman to get the full gist. If not that the chairman promised not to fire me, I would have been so terrified by now that the chairman only made Brian the chairman to get rid of me” I assure myself that there is no cause for alarm. “even if that is not the case at the moment, you still need to know what is going to happen to you because as the special assistant to the chairman of kings corporation, if the chairman retired doesn’t that also mean that your work in Kings corp is over?” The stupid voice in my head starts to fester unnecessary doubt in my mind. “It is better to hear from the horses mouth, instead of putting myself through unnecessary mental stress” I shake the voice off as I try to catch up with Brian who wasn’t considerate
/Meelah’s POV) My attention is drawn towards the door of the office opening after a slight knock on the door, where Brian’s personal assistant is peeping into the room with her brows lifted and her eyes sweeping over the office area. “Amelia?”Brian calls out to her and she opens the door widely to step in instead of continuing her peeping ministry like a thief. “I am really sorry to disturb you, but the reporters are seated in the conference room of the second floor, waiting for you so that the press conference can commence” Amelia informs. “Yeaaa right the pres conference” Mr kings claps his hands in realization. “I was actually supposed to have this conversation with you after the press conference, but I was hoping that we can release the news at the press conference so that the netizens will have something new to talk about instead of focusing all their energy on meelah” Mr king states and o smile because on everything that Is going on, he us not just concerned about his compa
/Meelah’s POV/“Over here Mr Kings” the first reporter on the first row and the first seat takes the initiative to start his round of questioning and I brace myself up for what is to come. “When did you and your fathers secretary meet for you to be involved in so deep a office romance to the point that you went as far as substituting your bride twice just to marry her, because I did some digging and realized that Mrs kings only started working as the secretary to the chairman four months ago so a lot of things are just not adding up here” the reporter takes time to construct his question before firing it in Brian’s direction making me gulp nervously because I was expecting us to progress from the simple questions to the difficult ones. “You sound like you have done a lot of digging about how my wife and I met, but I will like to refresh your memory a bit…” Brian starts radiating the confidence of a King. “First of all, my wife is an alumni of the prestigious Jade university, and so
/Meelah’s POV/“Hmmm hmmm” I clear my throat on getting to the front of the elevator. “I don’t think I will be able to get on the elevator with you guys because I need to get to the toilet” I speak up in an attempt to excuse myself from the entourage because the attention that I am getting from it is too much, and I am not enjoying it at all. “Fine..” he answers almost immediately, signaling a few bodyguard to step aside and they split without wasting time. “Are they going to be accompanying me to the bathroom?” I question him yo be sure that I am not the one overthinking and he nods “Yh” he answers briefly before taking his attention back to the phone that he is pressing. The thought of obediently agreeing to his option, then making sure to escape from their company so that Brian won’t think that I am challenging his authority crosses my mind for a split second, and I actually pause to consider it. “How the hell are you supposed to escape from six able bodied men” the stupid vo
/Meelah’s POV/“You!” I let out in confusion as soon as I steady myself. “Yeaaa…..it’s me” she says taking calculated steps towards me “Your worst nightmare” she whispers and then draws away with a sinister smile on her face that makes me furrow my brows in confusion because I can’t remember us ever speaking to each other before this. “Why are you here?” I ask her instead of stressing myself to think about it “Why are you being so mean?” She says lifting my chin up with her finger and I avert mg gaze. “Eloise Jenson!” I say trying to conceal my rising anger because I don’t want to loose my cool. “Can you go straight to the point as to why you are here, or will you rather clear yourself away from my path so that I can be on my way” I lay the cards down for her to pick. “That’s quite mean for someone that just saved you from tripping and making a fool of yourself in front of so many people, but that’s fine……it is in the nature of humans to be ungrateful, so I won’t take it to h
/Brian’s POV/“What was that?” I ask Eloise as soon as we leave the crowd of people that her attention seeking self pulled in the snack room. “What is what?” She Inquires feigning ignorance and looking around like she lost something. “Eloise! Don’t get me mad” I start with a stern warning. “Go straight to the point as to why you suddenly showed up in Kings Corporation with so many people” I ask her again. “Ohhh….that” she pretends to recall by scratching the nape of her neck with her coffin nails. “Nothing much, I just came bearing the invitation to the reality TV show”she answers like she is innocent and I am just trying to frame her. “My friend come off it!” I raise my voice at her. “I dated you for two years, so don’t you think I can tell when you are lying?” I try to keep myself from loosing my cool. “Ohhh wow!” She exclaim. “If you still remember that we dated for two years, how come you and Jayden Connors bastard were together for Almost seven years, because and if I ca
/Meelah’s POV/“Sorry for keeping you guys waiting” Eloise voice comes from the direction of the door, making me leave what I was doing to check her out. “How many viewers do we have on the LIVE” she asks her assistant, but there is just something off about her that I can’t place because her countenance looks completely different compared to how she was when she left with Brian. “Over 11k viewers” the assistant answers. “Perfecto!” She exclaims. “ now let’s get the cameras rolling” she instructs and I quickly take out my phone to check the comments on her LIVE video, since that is how I have been keeping myself busy since she was away. “Sorry guys for keeping you all waiting, Brian Kings wanted to talk to me in private and considering the history that we have together, I just had to hear him out” she says putting emphasis on the word private and that makes me pause to wonder what exactly she is trying to prove by insinuating such a thing when we have such a sensitive situation at
