Stepping into the mighty building housing Global Link agency, Rosie felt nothing but gratitude in her heart. She was indeed grateful to Gregory for helping her secure such a great place of work. It was a high rise and well appointed building with each floor buzzing with activity.She had been there the previous week for the job interview. Which went well, a confirmation was the mail she got from them a few days later to resume work. She made her way to the reception. Having been there before, she knew her way around to some extent. Zed was indeed a small place compared to Global Link. She crossed the walkway to the receptionist."Good morning ma'am." She greeted the gorgeous looking lady behind the counter and got a warm smile and a greeting as well. "I'm Miss Bainer, one of the new employees.""Ah yes, you're welcome." She said. "Please take a seat over there." She pointed to a row of seat towards her right that were isolated from others.Rosie quickly strode towards the direction
"I'm not going to any masseuse. I won't be comfortable watching someone else rub my skin. Call me old fashioned if you like." She said."Funny, how I felt releived hearing you say that. I've really missed you Roe. It feels like years since the last time I saw you." He told her."Same here. Let's see soon." Rosie suggested."Say now?" Gregory asked."What? No, of course not. I'm so exhausted. I need to rest my feet amongst other things." She replied. "Let's see this weekend Greg. Your place ?" She asked."You should call me Greg more often. I love the way it sound when you do." He said. "Though I was thinking of having a dinner with nature at the Coastal-Inn. " He added."Mmmmm, that sounds so tempting. Maybe we could do it on our next visit there. Right now, all I can think of is the meal prep you owe me which you're definitely going to pay Gre......g." She stressed."Fine," he said, now laughing. "Let's have dinner at my place. I'll be your personal Chef this weekend and I promise yo
"Sis, you have a delivery." Annie called Rosie after signing off a parcel on her behalf."That can't be for me." Rosie said coming down the stairs. "Nobody knows I'm here. I don't even leave with you and Mrs. Bainer. Maybe it for either of you, definitely not for me." She said walking up to her sister and taking the shopping bag from her. She saw the card attached to it which had "FOR ROE" handwritten on it. Then she smiled as it dawned on her that the item was sent by Gregory.Annie smiled too. "It's from your new boyfriend right." She asked in excitement."Annie!" Rosie exclaimed. "There is no boyfriend. Gregory is my friend. Do not let Mrs. Bainer hear you call someone my boyfriend please. I don't have any boyfriend, for now at least.""Owen's chapter is completely closed?" She asked with a raised brow."Completely and totally like he never existed in my life before. The guy is so rude. Imagine calling me a pauper, a whore and so many other suggestive words." Rosie told her sister
"Aww, no, I was just joking. Honestly, you are a great cook." She finally said. "If you'll excuse me now, I need to focus on my food."Gregory watched her eat with smiles, taking his time to admire the perfect creature seated in front of him. She was gorgeous, gracious, well mannered and most of all a very nice person.Before now, he'd just wanted to maintain cordial relationship with and be able to look out for her. But in just weeks, the feeling had gradually diminished and made way for something way bigger. Feelings he was yet to put a name to or scared to put a name to rather. But he knew he felt something so big that makes his heart swell with joy each time he looks at her. When she was done with food, he called the housekeeper to clear the table while he took her to the sitting room and got a bottle of wine for her.Rosie sat on the couch in Gregory's sitting room. She was treated to a bottle of red wine by Greg who took a seat beside her."How's your feet." He asked her."You r
It happened to be a great day at Brass Enterprise. The owner of the Firm Mr. Gregory Johnson turned 55. His friend and employees threw a little Party to celebrate his birthday and also appreciate him for being an amazing Boss.Mr. Greg as he was fondly called by many was a fifty five years old Widower who lost his Wife during the birth of their second child or so he told everybody. It's been twenty years since her death and he was yet to get over her. So, he kept going, admitting his daily life and practically living his life solely for his Kids. His first child, his daughter, works as a fashion designer and runs loads of charity organizations. While his second child, his son was studying medicine abroad.The day was going smoothly as few people gathered in one of the mini conference rooms to celebrate the birth of a great man. Each person representing a department at the Firm. His friend Maxwell was not left out."Attention please." Maxwell called and gently tapped the base of his gl
Rosie watched Owen as he smiled happily while chatting with God knows who on his cellphone. She sighed sadly. She was seated on a side stool placed beside him."Owen," she called him for the third time and just like before, she got no reply. Watching him resting his head on the couch while engrossed in his phone stepped on her anger scale. The deep purple curtain cast a dull purple shadow on her skin, her face glowed from the effect of the fluorescent bulb on the white painted wall and it registered no sign of smiles. A look at the clock showed that it was 8:43pm already, and she knew it was just a matter of time before Tessa, her flatmate, started bombarding her with messages and calls to be certain she was all right. Adjusting her position on the side stool, she turned her gaze back to Owen. "Owen, I'm talking to you." She called again, this time, tapping him gently on the shoulder. "You've been giving me the silent treatment, what is wrong with you?" She asked. "I've been giving
"Thank you." Owen said, beaming from ear to ear. "Were you able to prepare the sauce?" He asked putting up a smiley face."Yes, but I stored everything away in the freezer." She replied as she waited for him to button up his shirt."Perfect." he said once he finished fastening the last button. "Let's get you home baby." He placed a hand on her waist. Together, they left for his car. "We'll be having an ad presentation with one of the company's big fish on Friday." He told her as they headed to the garage. I've been working nonstop on the presentation.""This big fish, is he the one you've been talking about?" She interrupted."Oh no, this is another one, this particular one have been with us for a very long time. But that doesn't mean we should assume that he's ours for keeps you know. With so many mushroom agencies springing up from nowhere and the tough competition out there, we still need to continue doing our best." Owen replied with a smile. "I would have shown you what I'm work
Gregory's wet chest glistered with the glow from the sun. He glided smoothly out of the swimming pool and sat comfortably on the lounge chair, turning to Maxwell who was lying on one of the chaise, a sun shade on his eyes and a glass of wine."Oh Max, how I love this place, I can't even begin to explain it." Gregory said, pouring some wine into the empty glass placed on a side stool beside his chaise."I know, man, it is a home away from home. Somewhere you can run to and hide comfortably without the hassle we face every other day at work." Maxwell replied. "Believe me, Drewers remain one of the most beautiful and serene location in the whole of Palverase." he added."I agree." Greg said, leaning his back on the chair as he sipped from his glass. "I'm thinking of bringing my children down here whenever Nelson visits. Or I'll just bring Angelina and we can come again when Nelson visits. She rarely have time for herself and her boyfriend, oh, that boy is just too calm. He can't even hatc
