Mark closed the file he was working on and stretched out his limbs. He's been really stressed out this past few days. Life as a CEO is really taking a turn on him, he didn't expect it would be this hard.Just then, a knock came right through the door. He muttered a soft "Come in". Lucy walks in with a leather bag."Am really sorry for disturbing sir, I ordered takeouts for you. Figured you must be hungry by now!" Lucy placed the leather bag on the table.Right on time, Mark's belly grumbled, showing how hungry he is."You know, I still wonder how you always figure out when I'm famished. Thanks for the takeouts" he flashed her a smile.The kind of smile that made her legs go weak and butterflies didn't stop dancing in her tommy. She blushed really hard, unable to stop blushing, she excused herself and hurried out of the office.Mark smiled as he watched her leave. She's really something else. Aside doing a really great job at work, somehow, he finds solace in her presence.Just like ho
As Olivia drove back home, she kept pondering over her conversation with Maynard. Though, that was the last conversation and since then, he didn't try to bother her but didn't stop staring and all Olivia did was just to avoid his gaze.But something kept lingering in her mind. Maynard had mentioned that Sage loves her, how did he get to find out?She could recall the last time Maynard showed up at Sage's home. She felt there was something Sage wasn't telling her, how else would Maynard have gotten to know Sage's feelings for her. It couldn't have been just mere thoughts right?Getting home, Sage looked excited as he invited her over to the dining table where he had just finished making a sumptuous dinner specially for her.Olivia could have been excited but she wasn't. She wanted to know what's going on and if there's something she has to know."Have a sit, I made this specially for you.."He pulled a sit out for her and she sat, thinking of ways to bring up the topic."What's the occ
Maynard hung his suit over his nose as he made his way out of the industry together with the rest of the team. Thankfully, no one was injured or left behind. The fire was sudden, no one knew the cause of it. He couldn't believe something like this happened. It's the first time a chaos like this would happen, however, whatever caused the fire is the fault of the industry and not theirs.Looking around, he mentally scanned the people around but noticed there's one person still missing and no one seemed to notice it.Olivia! Where is she?He moved swiftly to Mr Harper who was also just recovering from the state of shock he was."Where his Olivia?" He asked."She'd gone over to her quarters the last time and.." Mr Harper trailed off as something hit him hard. He looked around, not catching sight of Olivia anywhere then he snapped his heard to Maynard."Fúçk!" Maynard groaned and threw his suit away and rushing back into the fire before anyone could stop him."Quick! Someone, call the fi
"Ahhh!!!" Olivia screamed, opening her eyes wide open as fear gripped her. She hasn't been herself since She returned home with sage.She has been restless and whenever she shuts her eyes, all she sees are just blazing fire suffocating her. Just few minutes back she managed to catch some sleep, she still had a nightmare of getting consumed by flames.The image remained stuck in her memory. She can't get rid of it. She flips her hair backwards and rubs her forehead. Her throat feels sore and dry due to the excess smoke she had inhaled.Getting up from the bed, she went to the bathroom and splashed some water on her face, then went downstairs afterwards to the kitchen. She grabbed a glass full of orange Juice and went to the pool area to get some air.Inhaling deeply, Olivia sat on the nearest bench and fixed her gaze on the water. Her mind drifted off to Maynard. She won't deny she's bothered about him and curious to know how he's feeling.Sage didn't give her a chance to say a proper
Maynard couldn't believe his ears when Henry informed him about Olivia's visit. Like, she's right here in his house!!!He thought he heard wrong or Henry might be teasing him but he'd never play such silly jokes."You sure you're not mistaken Henry?" He questioned for the third time."Am sure sir!"Maynard didn't know if he should be happy or sad. Should he let her him or not? Of course, he's not that stupid to send her away. This might be his golden opportunity."Send her in!"Henry nods and left the room. Maynard quickly jumped in the bed, but groaned in the process as he accidentally hurt his arm. He could not wait to find out what she's there for!!Olivia felt really antsy. Deep inside her felt like a rollercoaster. She couldn't place get thoughts on a single pace, her mind kept racing with so much thoughts.On one side, she felt like running away. On another, it's okay to thank the person who had saved her life and on the other hand, it didn't stop ringing in her head that she's
Mark angrily got into his car, furious and upset. He banged on his steering wheel as hard as he could, venting out his anger on the poor thing.His happy mood just got ruined. Earlier on, he was so excited about paying his fiancee a surprise visit and then propose to her. He felt it's only right if he took his relationship into the next stage by putting a ring on her finger.He'd bought the most expensive ring and was ecstatic about her saying yes to him only for him to barge in on her stark naked and gracefully riding a stranger.She didn't feel remorseful for being caught in the act. Rather, she looked at him and focused back in her little fun.Unable to conceal his anger, Mark pushed her off the man, pulled the man up and gave him a heavy blow on the face.They engaged in a tough fight with the man fighting back but Mark was stronger, he had the man beaten to a pulp. Being betrayed is something Mark has always avoided and hoped it doesn't happen to him. But his girlfriend just che
Olivia didn't realize that it's way past evening. How would she have realized that when Maynard kept making her do things for him. He didn't try to speak to her about the past anymore, seeing how upset he had made her."Like I said, you have to get a maid of someone to do this things for you. Don't expect to see me here tomorrow" Olivia said, after helping him lay on the bed.Maynard nodded."And I think you should go to a doctor so he can take a look at the injury so it doesn't get infected..""I will" He responded. She sighed and covered him with the duvet. She knows she's almost going out of boundaries, she didn't plan on staying with him for long but it's only fair if she repaid a favour.Her phone rang all of a sudden. She moved to the table where her phone was and seeing Lucy's name flashing on it, she picked up immediately."Olivia.." Olivia frowned when she heard her sister sobbing at the end of the line and it made her panic a bit."What's wrong sister?"She waited for a r
FEW WEEKS LATERMaynard stepped out of the bathroom, blowing raspberry and dancing to an imaginary music which only he can hear.He woke up feeling excited that morning. Excited because shooting begins today after the fire incident that happened. His wounds are all healed up and just the scar is left.What adds to his excitement is the fact that he'd be seeing Olivia today after a pretty long while. Since the last time she came over to assist him, she hasn't showed up since then, just like she had said.Still in his happy mood, he turned abruptly when his door pulled open. His once happy mood replaced when he saw Vernes standing with her luggage."What!?" why do you stare at like like you've just seen a ghost? Did you think I won't come back?"Surprised to see her, Maynard stuttered, "Vernes? I didn't think you'd be back so soon, and without warning."Vernes smirked mischievously and replied, "My parents have reconciled, so I hopped on a night flight to give you a surprise."She moved
