" After casting our votes, the board members under the majority votes have chosen Miss Mira Jones as the next CEO and chairman of the Jones company." Mr Greene announced.A loud smacking voice interrupted the silence in the room." I refuse to accept the results." Mr Jones, Mira's father, declared.He was fuming, glaring daggers at Mira who gave out a triumphant smile." The voting was clear and transparent. The board has made its decision regarding this matter. You have been deemed unworthy leading the company,who do you think you are to oppose the decision of the board members?" Timothy questioned, his eyes narrowed dangerously." Learn to respect your elders young man." Mr Jones countered. " Do you think I don't know you are in cahoots with that wicked slut! All you wanna do is rob me off my company!" Mr Jones puked profanities infront of the members, greatly shocking them.How could a man openly abuse his own flesh and blood? That was utterly unbelievable. It was unheard of." Min
Mira drove her car straight to a convenient store. Cooking was something she learnt from her mother. She would sit and watch as her mother prepared variety of dishes for the family. She would bug her mother to teach her how to cook and her mother didn't disappoint her.At the age of twelve years, she was able to make her way around the kitchen with ease.It was something she prided herself with.Parking the car, she made her way to the store. She had in mind trying a new recipe she saw online. Today, she would be preparing an African cuisine. Spiced rice and veggies, served with peppered potatoes.She would also prepare braised pork ribs and half cooked french fries for salads.Mira busied herself shopping the necessary ingredients and did not notice the two women who were following her sneakily pretending to shop too." Grandma, I think this is a bad idea. We just turned to be some creepy stalkers." Maria murmured to the old lady." Shut up! did you suggest any other better solution.

Mira and the old lady decided to head to a Cafe to chat. Ofcourse, this was a request made by the old Madam. Since she successfully managed to make friends with her granddaughter, why not use that time to know each other More." You look so beautiful, I bet your mother must be a beauty too." The old lady started, trying to make Mira open up and talk more about herself." You have such a sweet mouth grandma Letty." Mira replied but not without blushing. Getting complements from an old lady was not something she was acquainted with." Oh but it's the truth." The old lady countered, finding her granddaughter quite lovely and adorable. She was loving her more." I inherited my good looks from my mother ofcourse." her voice had a tinge of pride when she said her mother's voice." She must be a wonderful person."Mira had to agree to that. Her mother was a wonderful person. She was the best mother anybody could ever ask for.She can still remember whenever she fell ill, her mother will leav
" She just left and you already miss her grandma?" Maria questioned. She could see the longing in the old lady's eyes." Her life hasn't been a smooth one Maria. I blame myself for not finding her earlier." The old lady lamented.All those years, she kept waiting and hoping that her stubborn daughter will finally soften up and come back home. She had prayed for the day her family becomes whole again. Who would have thought that her daughter was no More.If she continued to wait, wouldn't she have to wait till her last breath? If that happened, her granddaughter would suffer all her life." Don't be sad Grandma. Since it's already happened, we can't do anything to change that. The best thing you can do is show her the love and concern she has missed for those years. Show her that you love her and will always do. That would be the best compensation you could ever give her." Maria advised.She was a person who lacked love for years and could relate to Mira's case. But after arriving at t
" I don't know but I will think about it. It's such a big decision to make." Vera replied." That's better to hear. You think about it, I'll be waiting for your positive answer." Mira decided to give her time to think about her proposition ." Of course as my secretary and personal assistant, your salary will be almost ten times what you earn in that small cafe. I Know you want to buy Aunt Stella a new house, this could be the chance to do that." Mira baited." Are you saying that to lure me into your trap?" Vera asked, shaking her head.Mira knew her best. She has always been dreaming about buying her mother a new house that has a larger kitchen so that she can have enough space while baking." Don't make it sound so ugly, just a way to beautify my offer." Mira replied with a smile.Vera knew that the offer Mira was making was one on million times, she would never get such a generous offer.Although she was still worried that her incompetency would drag Mira down, she also wished that
Mira went home after dropping Vera home. Since her plan to prepare a special meal for them was foiled, she could only result to cooking simple dishes.Timothy arrived later in the evening, a bouquet of flowers at hand." Wow, those are such beautiful flowers." Mira commented while accepting the flowers." Beautiful flowers for the most beautiful and attractive woman in the planet." Tim complemented with a sweet smile on his face." Such a sweet talker." Mira blushed hearing his compliments. He always had a way with his words especially when it comes to her." Come on in. Dinner is ready." she said, sidestepping to allow him to enter before she closed the door behind her." I could get used to this." Timothy said, referring to having someone wait for him at the door and food ready at the table." You could have it. All you need to do is pop the question Tim." Mira replied, winking at him." Are you serious?" He thought she was just joking because the last time they talked, she expresse
Mira officially took over the Jones company.Her main aim was to do a reorganisation in all departments.She placed a call to the human resource office, " Get me the files of all top management officials. Their qualifications, competence and salary. I also want you to do a recheck to all employees of the company. Those who have been here and for how long and have been stagnant in the same position for years." She requested.If she was to set things straight, the first way to achieve that was to sieve her employees.Those who were still loyal to her father will be given a last chance. Those who got promoted by pulling some strings will be demoted to the posts that fit them or be dismissed. Those who have worked hard without any recognition will be promoted.Mira was aware of the fact that the employees represent a company. If she wanted to improve the returns for the company, she had to ensure that all employees were treated fairly and justly." Don't you think by doing this you might a
