Parking her car,she alighted the car and took hurried steps towards the company entrance. It was past working hours and only afew people could be seen at the vicinity. Stepping by the lobby, she was about to use the private elevator specifically made for the president when the security guard stopped her.
" Excuse me Miss, you cant use that elevator,please board the common one." The guy politely reminded her but before Mira could answer, Luke, Timothy's personal assistant stepped out of the private elevator." Miss Jones,you are here?" He asked obviously relieved seeing her here. He had been requesting his president to stop drinking but he wouldn't listen. He just hoped that she will be able to talk him out of drinking." This way please." Luke said ushering Mira to the private elevator. He then turned to the security guard and politely reminded him not to dare stop her next time Incase he sees her there..Luke knew that Timothy would throw a tantrum if he ever heard that his girl was stopped by the guards from using his elevator.After the elevator closed,it was then that Luke realized that Mira was carrying flowers. He wondered who would have gifted her the flowers. He was also sure that his boss would feel bad after seeing her carrying flowers from another Man.Luke was aware of the love triangle between his boss,Mira and that Caleb guy. He was the one who was sent to investigate that guy. He couldn't help but wonder why his Boss did not expose the true colours of that two faced man bitch after he discovered their ploy of robbing Mira off her assets. He couldn't figure out what his Boss was thinking watching the woman he loved go to another man's arms especially when that other man was untrustworthy.But he was an assistant afterall, he couldn't butt in in his boss's affairs." They are beautiful,the flowers." He commented." Really? You think he will like them?" Mira asked back her question surprising Luke." Who? The boss?" Luke inquired. He just wanted to be sure his ears were not deceiving him. Did that mean she had brought them for his boss?" Ofcourse,who else?" Mira replied posing a question at the end." He will definitely love them." Luke answered,that he was 101%sure of. Maybe the flowers would get rid of the alcohol in his system as long as it was coming from her." I hope he does." Mira said smiling broadly at the idea.Just then the elevator arrived with a ding . The two stepped out one after the other and walked towards the CEOs office." Go ahead miss Jones." Luke ushered her in and after thanking him for his politeness,Mira stepped in." Didn't I tell you to leave me alone? What are you still doing here?" Mira was greeted by Timothy's angry voice. This was the last thing she expected to happen." You want me to leave?" Mira asked not taking a step forward.Timothy was about to retort when he caught something weird about the voice that replied to him. That was no man's voice,it was rather the voice of the only woman he has ever loved. He could recognize that voice even in his sleep.He turned his head slowly to look at the door just to make sure the alcohol wasn't playing tricks on him.He was pleasantly surprised to see her standing in his office. He was about to stand up and walk towards her when he remembered that today was the day Caleb proposed to his Mira. He figured out that there's no way she'll be visiting his office when she was supposed to be enjoying with Caleb now." Have you bewitched me that I see and hear you every where I am. Maybe Luke was right,I am totally wasted." Timothy said and lowered his head.He tried to control the tears in his eyes but he couldn't anymore so he let them flow.Seeing him cry,Mira felt her heart constrict in pain. Just how much pain had he been holding in to finally break down like this?She took hurried steps towards him and she did what her mind directed her to do. Hug him.She hugged him tightly letting his head lie on her bossom. Before she knew it,she had also started crying. She didn't know what came over her but she found herself shedding tears.Luke who had peeping through the door turned emotional seeing the scene. Who couldn't? It was a rare occasion to see a man as strong as his president cry. He must have bottled his emotions until his heart reached its breaking point.He turned around and left, giving the two the privacy they needed.After crying for a while, Timothy gathered his senses and said," it hurts to see you with another man but I promised myself,as long as he makes you happy, I'll learn to be happy because you are happy. I will watch you silently and ensure that you are well always."Mira figured out that he was still thinking that she was an illusion in his mind.How silly!" Oh so you've finally made your decision? Did you wait to hear my decision? Why are you always making the choice on my behalf?" Sheila said angrily slapping the work table so hard that some files fell down jolting Timothy to reality. He outburst somehow brought back his conscious." Mira! Are you real?" Timothy asked dumbfounded, confusion clear in his black orbs." No I am a ghost!" Mira replied. She was really annoyed with him. One minute he's crying because he thinks she went to another man and the next he's talking about watching by the sidelines as long as she was happy! How could he be such a coward? A true Man flights for what it is he wants not accepting defeat without even trying." You are angry,that means you are here." Timothy said and chuckled.In one swift move, Mira was now sitting on his lap facing him . He used his fingers to trace her face." You look beautiful tonight." Timothy said. Mira could tell that he was half drunk, half conscious.The Timothy she knew will not have the guts to trace her face with his fingers although he was never mean with his compliments." Really? Why else?" Mira decided to tease him." Your lips look sweet and inviting!" Timothy replied." Do you wish to kiss them?" Mira asked." Can I do that? You won't be angry?" Timothy inquired.To cut him short, Mira lowered her face and planted her soft lips on his cold ones.She withdrew almost immediately earning a pout from Timothy." From today,you can always kiss them." Mira added." Really? You mean that?" Timothy couldn't hide his excitement. He resembled a child who has just been permitted to eat her favorite snack." Mmmmm" Mira replied." Can I do that now?" He asked hopefully." No." Came Mira's stern reply." But why? You just gave me the permission why are you taking it back." Timothy argued pouting sounding like an aggrieved child." I am not taking my words back." Mira said." But you Just did!." Timothy declared." Not now,we have alot to talk about." Mira replied amused. She never knew that Timothy had this cute side of him." Oh." Timothy said his mood dropping abit." What do you want to talk about?" He asked hoping she wasn't going to tell him about her accepting Caleb's proposal."" let's start with why you are so wasted?" Mira asked even though she knew the reason why. She just wanted to see whether he'll be honest with her." And you know I hate lies the most." Mira reminded him. She could see he was trying to cook a reason to answer her." No will do. I am your friend Timothy or ain't I ? Why can't you share your problems with me? You never know I could help you." Mira said trying to coerce him into spilling the beans but Timothy was adamant to keep his secret from her. He didn't want anything breaking their friendship,not even his secret love for her." You can't help me with this One." Timothy replied." Let me be the judge of that." Mira said not backing down one bit. She will make him confess whether he likes it or not." Mira!"" Tim!"" I don't want to burden you with my problems." Timothy said his voice low and defeated." Haven't I always burdened you with my problems all this years? If you don't tell me,I'll take that as you saying I am not friend."
" Tim, thankyou. thankyou for giving me a chance to make up for the things I did wrong in my past life. Thanks for allowing me to be with you, Tim,I love you." Mira confessed emotionally. She was glad that even after all the pain she caused him, he still gave her such a wonderful chance to Love him.Tim caught a word in her sentence that confused him? past life? what did she mean by that? " Past life? what past life are you talking about Mira?" He was sober somehow so he knew that he heard her,it was not alcohol manipulating his hearing ability. Mira realized that she had a slip of tongue in her words. She was not ready go share that part of her life yet,it would come later when their relationship progressed. She was damn sure that he would believe without questioning her or thinking she was crazy but she won't ruin this magical moment for that." I mean in these past few years. I have ignored your feelings and chased after something unworthy." She corrected herself throwing any expl
The two lovebirds decided to call it a night. Since it was already late by the time they finished their conversation, Timothy proposed they settle for the night at his spare room attached to his office. Tim led Mira to the room and helped her sit in bed." Wait here,am going to take a shower." He knew he reeked of alcohol and he couldn't let his woman lie with a dirty man. He was a neat freak himself,he couldn't sleep with foreign odours on his body. minutes later he emerged from the bathroom attached to the room with only a towel wrapped on his waist. His upper body was bare and Mira couldn't stop her hungry eyes from taking peeks at that well built body.She could tell that he was a man who exercised regularly. His body was fit and sexy, she had to admit to that. Mira was always a sucker of goodlooking things until she started listening to her sister's advise. Looking at the Greek god Infront of her, Mira swallowed hard. She might be well reserved but that didn't mean she didn't ha
The following morning, Timothy was the first one to wake up. It was a routine for him to be up at five thirty on the dot for his morning exercise. Today was no exception despite sleeping late and with a warm bunny cuddling in his arms.He opened his groggy eyes and was met by the most pleasant and beautiful face of his dreams. His Mira was sleeping comfortably in his arms like a small baby, without any care in the world. She was peaceful in her sleep which added a certain charm to her already charming face.Tim couldn't control the huge smile from blooming from his face. She was finally his woman and that wasn't going to change, not now,not forever. After years of loving her, she was finally in his arms. What could be better than having the lice if your life by your side when you wake up? It was a wonderful feeling." I better get used to this for I am never letting you go my darling." Tim murmured and kissed her forehead. He then tightened his arms possessively at her and decided to
The breakfast was eaten peacefully. Tim had arranged all her favourites making her heart swell with Joy. Steamed buns and rice porridge coupled with assortment of different fruits,the ones she loved. He was always this attentive to her needs abd caring even in her past life, something she found normal but was not normal to her in this life. This showed that he always had her in his mind, she was happy. She smiled contently while eating her food.The pleasant atmosphere was interrupted by the sound of her ringing phone. She cursed whoever who ruined it for her bir still moved to pick up. looking at the caller ID, she had a huge smirk on her face. Looking at the evilness in that smirk, Tim wondered if this was still the Mira he knew for this was not something she could pull off. She was always tender, sweet and understanding. But Why did she now look like a devil from the depths of hell surfacing to wreak havoc in the human world?" Hello." She plainly responded after connecting the ca
" Are you sure about this Mira. The Caleb I know will definitely try to get back at you. You might have put yourself in danger by provoking him." Tim said worriedly.He cared about her safety the most.They just together so there's no way he'll want to loose her. " Relax Tim,have got this. I am not the Mira who followed others blindly obeying every little instructions given to her.This time,I am going to show them who is the boss." Mira replied,her voice full of determination and a held a promise." And this them is who and who,I understand it's not only about Caleb only." Tim inquired." You are right Tim, this is not only about Caleb, it's about anybody who ever wronged me. I am done being nice to people."Mira explained,her face turning dark. Remembering how those people in the past caused her pain and her beloved,her blood started boiling.Listening to her, Tim could tell that the Mira he was seeing was different from the Mira he knows. Something changed in her but that didn't matte
After Mira Left Timothy's office, she decided to go to the Jones company. In her past life, she never stepped foot In that company since her father forbid her from doing that. It was her mother's sweat and blood,yet the bastard daughter and mistress were allowed to go there while she,the largest shareholders could not step foot there.Today, she decided to go and ascertain her authority.She arrived at the reception and walked to the receptionist. " Good morning ma'am, what can I do for you?" the receptionist asked respectfully. judging from the clothes Mira was wearing, she could tell that the lady before her came from a rich family." I want to take a look at the company. Can I get someone to escort me to the finance office?" without beating around the bush, Mira stated her purpose for visit. Actually, Lucia ver step sister worked at the finance department. Knowing her sister's greedy habits, she must have tried pocketing the company's funds. That's where she was going to start.To
Mira passed by a flower shop and bought a bouquet of flowers. Pink carnations were her mother's favourite. Arriving at the graveyard, she put on her sunglasses. The sun was hot today. She walked towards her mother's tomb. The groundsman responsible for keeping the area clean greeted her. They had gotten acquainted with each other after her recent visits to the grave. Even in her past life, she would come here whenever she was sad or heartbroken. This was the only place that she could cry her eyes out and to her heart's content without interruption of fear of someone seeing her vulnerable. Her mother became her listening ear whenever she wanted to talk to someone.But now, she was here to visit her mother and promise to seek justice for her death.She sat by the tombstone after placing the flowers on the grave. " Mommy,am here to visit you." she started. " Did you miss me,I feel like it's been forever without seeing each other. Did I tell you ,I have a boyfriend now." She said smiling
