Samantha's POV.We finally got to the Hotel that would be used for this year's conference, and I was marveled at how many persons were present. I thought we made it early, but we were late. I saw where the Apple groups were seated, and I went to sit with them, while my boss walked away from me and my colleague, to greet some persons.If he came, he should be in the same space with us, but I could only see his grand parents, and somehow, I didn't want them to see me, for I didn't want my boss to know that I know them, else, he might have another idea, asking me to help him get a contract from them.I knew that sooner than later, they will see me, but I was hoping that would be when Jade isn't close.As soon as he moved away to another side to greet some other person's from another company, I seized the opportunity to greet the Anderson's."Oh my goodness! Samantha is that really you? Mrs Anderson asked and I nodded with a smile. I was thinking the greeting would be short, but she seem
CRAIG'S POV.'What just happened? I kept asking myself. I couldn't tell if it was because of me that she fainted. I only wanted to make her jealous. I didn't mean for her to be sad, I was just..... I heard a knock on the door, and it was Sandra, what was she doing, looking at me in a seductive way, and smiling, just at the same time, Jade walked into my hotel room."I knew I would find you here". Jade says, while Sandra sat down on the couch, unsure of what to say to me, or how to act."Yes, I was waiting for you here". I replied, then I turned to Sandra and asked with a serious tone.What are you still doing here? The conference is over, so you can go home". She looked like her eyes would shed blood, she was so sad, she etched, squint and winced all in pain, and I could see it all, but I pretended like I didn't."I was thinking...... She tried to say, but she got caught up in her own word, as she couldn't think of the next thing to say."Stop thinking Sandra, and go home". I know I so
Samantha's POV.It was like I was hearing double, I couldn't believe my ears, did he really say he wants me to take a break for a week? I smile, because that was the same thing Maxwell would have said, but we are not in talking terms at the moment, because of what I told him, but this break of a thing, might have something to with Maxwell, I thought, but he could not be involved, he didn't have that sort of power, and he isn't very comfortable just being around Jade, let alone, telling him about giving me a break, which means, it must be all Jade. He must have been so happy, wining the medal and getting different contracts from other big companies, that he had to tell me to take a break.I would do a lot with this break, I will make good used of it, but first of all, I am going to have to visit the hospital, what happened the other time, should not repeat itself, because I really cannot afford to loose this job, at least not now, but then I remembered I would spend some time with Whit
CRAIG'S POV.I don't know how I made it through the night. I was so worried about her, and somehow, I kept feeling that she almost passed out because she saw me with Sandra. She had told me something like that before, and I feel, somewhere within her, she still feels that I have something to do with Sandra, or even if we didn't, I have started to have feelings for Sandra, and that is the reason I wasn't looking at her, while she gave her excellent and thorough presentation, but she was wrong, I was just looking down, scared that she would see it through me, that I can never be able to get over her, even if she has gotten over me and moved on."Boss, she just stepped out with her daughter". I heard my guard say, and I checked the time. She was supposed to be resting, I don't know why she is always so stubborn? I asked myself, while my guard waited for my next command."Follow her, and let me know where she is going". I told him, before ending the call, but then, in less than 20 minutes
The meeting with the foreign investors went well, with Sandra, doing all the talking, while I kept looking into space, as if the answers to my problems are there, all I knew was that, I was told to sign, and then I shook hands with them and they left. Paul drove us to Sandra's house. I waited for her to get out of the car, but she didn't, so I turned to look at her, wondering why she was still in my car."I need to speak with you sir, in private". She says, and she looked so serious, that I obliged her. I stepped out of the car, and stood miles away from the car, just so she could tell me what it is that seem to be bothering her."Sir, what is the problem, I have noticed that you have been distant, you didn't even say two words with the investors, and it is really unlike you, what is going on? She asked, with concerned tone, and I nodded, but I couldn't tell her my problem, she wouldn't understand, she doesn't have to know, and I was looking for the best way to tell her to forget the
After my break, I was very excited getting back to work, I wanted to see everyone, especially Maxwell, I wanted so much to see him, and tell him everything i had thought about over the week, but getting back to work, he started giving me attitude, and no matter how much I try to get him to speak with me, he wouldn't.And to think that now, I was willing to give us a chance, and even though what I feel for him at the time isn't love, I was willing to give us a trial. Maybe I have been looking too hard at a closed door, when I should be looking at the open door Infront of me, but he just wouldn't give me the chance, he looks so angry with me all the time, but he still kept my secret, which made me know that he still feels something strong for me.One month later, I could no longer hide the pregnancy, I didn't know why all of a sudden, I was showing more than expected. I am only four month gone. I got myself some new clothes, hoping to hide my pregnancy for another month, before I am su
An hour past noon, we were told that the new boss have arrived. Maxwell came to me, and also told me what I have heard already. I grabbed my stuff and about to head to the board room to wait for him. We are all supposed to already be in the board room before he walks in."Are you going to keep ignoring me? Maxwell asked, as he was trying really hard to keep up with me.and why are you walking so fast? He asked again, and that was when I paused to answer him."First, You said, I was dragging myself, that I don't have to tell the world I am pregnant, and now, you are asking me, why I am walking fast? I asked him, when he didn't have answers for me, I shook my head disgustedly at him.It was obvious that I am angry with him, for ignoring me for so long, and also, speaking to me, in an annoying way."Fine, if you are not going to speak to me, you can keep ignoring me, but I wanted to speak to you about the new boss, so you prepare your mind before you see him". He says and I would have w
CRAIG'S POV.With what happened to jade, and the way I responded to him, I knew he would go ahead to do what he wants to do.He told me what his wife did, and pleaded that I get his company, to enable him pay off his debt, but with Samantha there, I didn't think I needed it, though I wanted to support him financially as a friend, and give him more time to pay off, but he thought that selling it was the best option,. I thought that if I didn't buy it, he would change his mind, and take my offer, but to my surprise, he told me he had gotten a buyer, and only after he handed over the documents, did he realize, that the buyer, is Edward.I know that by now, Samantha must have met with him again, and sharing the same space with him, I fear that he will hurt her again, but then, she have chosen to be with Maxwell, so he should protect her.I was tempted to send a guard there, to know how she is doing, but then again, I changed my mind, I should let her be, but that evening, I got a call fro
