Memories of the previous day flooded Grace's mind as she woke up, past emotions still eminent in her mind, a sense of disappointment, but also a sense of understanding. She remembered the little talk she had with her mother and it helped sooth her worrying mind. She rubbed her eyes for a while adjusting it to the already bright day. She turned left checking her little desk clock, it read 8am, she gasped a bit before laughing at herself, she had slept a lot, again. Shaking her head, she turned towards her bed as she began her morning prayers, she expressed her thanks to God for the new day and for the blessings In her life. After thanking God, she prayed for grace throughout the new day before saying her Grace. After the short prayer, she got up from her bed, arranging it in an orderly manner, and heading to the bathroom to officially get the day started.
The bath was short but refreshing, helping her stay cool for the day ahead. After
It happened so fast that she couldn't realize what had happened at first, only the strong hands that wrapped around her waist brought her mind back to realize she hadn’t been crushed by the car. Then who was holding her? Another question popped on her mind, though Her questions were answered as she slowly opened her eyes to see an all too familiar face standing inches away from her face again. Standing in front of her was the ever handsome and well sculpted Mr Black who was dressed in a blue velvet Armani suit with expensive jewelry to match. Grace is speechless as she stands still not responding to any thing, she was oblivious to the constant questions of concern coming from Me Black who still held her waist in place. “Are You Okay Ms Winters?”. She looked at him completely lost still, shock and surprise where two emotions that stuck on her as she looked at the beautiful creature, who was still looking at her with worry. She
A gentle tap on her face was enough for her to wake up from her sleep, She opened her eyes first adjusting it to her surroundings while her brain tried to compute where she was exactly. The black interior of what seem like a car and the voice of the person next to her was enough to make her realise she was still seated in his car, Mr Black's car, and From her head position--- She was rested on his shoulders. "I'm sorry". She spoke up immediately, Pulling herself away from him. She felt her body exposed a bit, so she bent her head to inspect the position of her top, and her eyes widened when she noticed it had risen up so much, it was just directly under her breasts. She tries to subtly adjust it, slowly holding the gem of the top to pull it down. Grace turned unconsciously to look at Mr Black whose eyes where directly on her. She looked down immediately, the skin under her eyes heating up. She insti
The cafe was calm, The scent of coffee filling the air, people made small chatters sipping on their coffees. Some focused on their works typing on their laptops or pads with a coffee cup at the side, occasionally sipping from it when tired. As everyone seemed busy in their own world either chatting with friends or working, Grace sat at a distant corner of the cafe lost in thoughts occasionally sipping on her coffee which she ordered not too long ago. She was seated at the corner of the cafe on a table for two, she had arrived a few minutes ago after collecting herself and mustering the courage to leave the Cemetery, take a bus and then head to the small cafe at her stop, though the fear still eminent in her mind. Grace was scared, like really scared. Her Mum's income were all they had, Her monthly income of 5,000 dollars was what was putting food on her table and a roof over her head. Though it was a small amount it was able
Thank you". She said finally looking up to look at the man who was staring at her still smiling. To her Jason was handsome in his own way, he had blond short hair, with blue eyes to match, his skin was tanned a bit giving him the perfect summer crush look. He had a beautiful smile too which made her blush a lot. He was wearing a casual outfit of white T-shirt and jeans like a match to hers. "So what is a beautiful girl like you doing sitting here alone". Jason asked. "I just want to stay alone I guess". She answered unsure. "Oh I'm Sorry, am I disturbing then?, I can leave". Jason said attempting to stand making her stop him. "Oh it's fine, You can Sir here, I wanted to be here but a little company is fine". She said smiling a bit. "May I say you have a beautiful smile?". "Oh!, Thank You". She said blushing, again.

The middle car is parked in front of the red carpet entrance as six guards stand in attention waiting for The man of the hours arrival.Mr Black still formally dressed in expensive Armani suit comes out of one the luxurious cars parked in front of the large hotel doors. Coming out of the car, Leonard is met by Six guards who stand in attention as a lady dressed in White suit combo steps out to meet him. She walks sultry towards him with a strained smile on her face and he smirks. Oh Rebecca, Always so fake and desperate. She walks forward stopping in front of him still with a forced smile on her face. He doesn't bother with her, he was already used to her antics and schemes to care , he had far more important matters to discuss with her than mind her ever growing jealousy and thirst to take over his company. She was desperate and ever conniving, sh
"But Leonard,.." Rebecca tried to start, not understanding the sudden decisions. "It's Mr Black to you, I have tolerated enough indiscipline from you, I won't have my Worker calling me by my name". He said cutting her short, He saw the way her face frowned at the mention of worker, she looked around to see everyone looking at her in shock, they didn't expect their boss lady to be shouted at, But he was the real boss and he was back. "Mr Black most of these workers are trusted employees that have been with us the longest, I can't just fire them." Rebecca said trying to persuade him. "Even I agree sir, A worker like Chef Grots is by far our best chef and experienced man, if we fire him we loose him to a better company or worse him starting his own restaurant". Jake said trying to pacify him too, he thought about it more after hearing jakes opinion, "Okay, Remove the names of your most important employees, but leave the employees wi
Chapter 21: Claims and Investigations "Good Afternoon Sir". Jane Greeted as well as all the other receptionists, as I walked into the building. I noticed how busy the lobby was as usual, it was occupied by both male and females who seemed to either be waiting for an appointment or someone, they all greeted me upon seeing me, which I returned with a short nod. I stood by the receptionist desk as Jane walked out of her desk with some files in her hand which she handed to me . "This are the files Melissa asked me to hand to you before she left". I took the files, reading briefly through it.The files were the reports I had asked her to do on the two ladies, Kristen and Lia whom I had a meeting with today. It didn't contain much but everything about them from family to sickness and past jobs. It was better to know everything about them before they became huge stars to avoid anything popping up in the future. Reading through the both files I found nothi
"What do you think of Her Leonard". Justin my childhood friend said now referring to me by my surname. I turned my chair to face him sighing."Well for starters I'm disappointed by your lack of work ethic". He shrugged smirking making me scoff. "You fucked Her didn't you?". I asked already knowing the truth, he had called me three days to the auditions to beg for a spot for her, knowing I had the final say. I didn't think much about it considering I didn't favor people unless it benefited my interests, but after the auditions I couldn't help but give Her considering how good she was after Grace. "Well what's not there to fuck man, she's a whole package, you can't tell me she isn't hot man!". He said moaning, I sighed getting up. "I have my preferences and it is certainly not Kristen". I looked outside towards the bridge, noticing how the waters clapped underneath it, I smiled a bit, remembering how beautiful she looked staring at the wat
