'After signing this contract, I'll have to meet up with Jace. I don't know why he's trying to get me to fall in love but that's not possible, love is not real, even if it is I don't want to experience it,makes people weak and that's something I can't afford'. I sigh as I sign the document slowly, clearly knowing that no matter how slow I sign it, there's no escape from Jace 'I don't even know how I'm putting up with this idiot'. I groan, causing Mr. Yakimore to wince.
"I was just thinking about something else". I tell him as he seems like he's gonna pee in his pants. I'm human, why is he so scared?.
" Nice doing business with you". I say, shaking his extended hand.
I walk back to my office, with my secretary by my side saying some things which I'm not paying attention to right now. She continues babbling as I glare at her. She suddenly freezes understanding the look I sent her.
"I'll take my leave now Sir". She says, swallowing hard. Thank goodness.
"Very well". I voiced as she spun on her heels, fiddling with the papers in her hand.
As soon as I open the door, I see his reflection on the door knob as I twisted it shut by 'he' I mean the idiot (Jace).
" Just come out there and stop acting like a child already, you're 27 for crying out loud". I sigh as I walk to my chair.
"Why can't you just go with it and let me scare you at least for once". He mutters really low but I heard it. I responded with a sigh.
" I hope you're ready for the little party I prepared in the hopes of you meeting Mrs Basma soon". He sighs, looking up as if in a daze.
"You better wake up from your daze, we both know, I do not believe in love but yeah I've said it a million times and you never listen. Let's go to the party anyway". I say as his eyes widens, and he grabs both my arms narrowing his eyes and saying.
"Who are you and what have to done to my best friend". I sigh, releasing myself from his grip.
"Are we going or not cos I'll rather n_". He didn't let me finish as he drag me out if the office.

We got to the party and to say I am disappointed is an understatement. Three ugly plastic girls or women or whatever have been glued to my table , I would have sent them away but Jace has been pinching me under the table and mouthing for me to be calm.
"Can you stop licking you lips in my face?, its disgusting". I said to the fake blonde who looks like she'll soon cry. "And you stop trying to grope. Keep you hands to yourself". I didn't need to say anything to the third brunette as she ran away after one glare, the others following her.
I look to my side to see Jace glaring daggers at me.
"What? I tried". I groan as the music and everything made it seem like I was wasting my time which I was.
"You tried? You! Tried!... Those were the hottest girls at the party and you just went 'Lawrence' on them". He says, dramatically.
"If those were the hottest, I definitely don't wanna see the others". I sigh, standing up and walking away from Jace who's yelling my name like a mad man. I sigh again this sigh is too much for one day.
I'm about to get in my car when I saw someone, so beautiful by the side of the bar or maybe its just the blue dress. I love blue. I take my chances and walk inside the bar only to find the most beautiful woman sitting at the counter, ordering a drink.
I sit next to her ordering a drink, just to look at her but I couldn't see her face to I said something.
"Hi". I said, my voice a little shaky that I found it foreign to my own self.
" Hi". She replied back looking up at me, her eyes are so beautiful that I was lost in them.
"Excuse me". She said, sounding rather shy and I shook my head to be freed from the trance that I was in.
"Oh, um... Sorry for staring". I said, as she smiled, making me smile also, it was infectious. I want her! In my bed, now!.
"Mind if I stay with you as we enjoy the night?". I asked, a little more confident than before, when she nodded.
"yeah, I don't mind".
We sit at the counter for a while, I'm busy using my charms to make her laugh but she just smiles and nods, I'm sure something's up with her but I ain't bringing it up nothing's gonna ruin this mood."The music is a little too loud, can we leave here...um that is if you wanna though!". She yells, to help me hear her over the loud music, as if reading my mind. I also hate how loud the music was but didn't want to point out as she seemed okay with it."Of course, it's really loud". I yell also so she could hear me. I wait as she pushes back the chair with her butt oh my God, that ass is mad!.We walk away from the music, to the car park, I headed towards my car knowing she was following closely, after unlocking it, she opens the door herself before I got there to do it for her I don't do that for a lot of women, but I wanted to on instinct. We talked a little more of random things and it was oddly comfortable until she suddenly starts sniffing.I look at her in realisation 'she's crying
Trina's P.O.V ( the night).Today's officially the worse day of my life, even when I thought it'd be my best. In just one day, I lost my vest friend, my only relative, my only motivation, my everything, my dad.I have nothing to live for now, but I'm too overly ambitious to kill myself. I have so many dreams I'm yet to fulfil but most of them were for my dad and now he's gone everything's over now.I'm in my house but everywhere I look at, has my dad there. I keep remembering even just by seeing my carpet. I stood up in tears, got to my room and changed into the gown my dad bought for me for my graduation dinner but it won't hold anymore as today's my graduation and my dad's gone.=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=I stop in front of a bar as I heard my favorite song (7 rings by Ariana Grande) playing, I walked in and went straight to the counter to order a drink, I got tequila and downed it, when suddenly this overly handsome looking man came and sat next to me, ordering the sam
Trina's P.O.V I got home by 6:00am, I looked around and resolved that I am gonna move on, that there's a reason for everything. I start by cleaning the mess I made yesterday. And after about 2 hours, the entire house was clean. Taking out my laptop, I began to look for job vacancies but most if them were not what I wanted. I saw a few I liked and applied, and was confident that with my CV, I'll get a good job.After applying to about five (5) companies, I shut down the laptop and went grocery shopping.Yes, I had money. Not just money for grocery shopping but money my father had been keeping all his life in my name. I'm legal to use it but no, I wanna work for mine.=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=One week laterI've been sent emails from three (3) of the companies to come for interviews, I've gone for the interviews but haven't received the feedback they promised, this had made me so down and frustrated but I ain't giving up.I stood up to the sound of the microwave indicat
Its been two weeks since I started working here, and its been good, my colleagues have been really accommodating and helpful and I also didn't miss the pitiful look they give me once in a while and my instincts tell me its because I'm working for Mr. Basma.He couldn't be that bad, nahHe's only human, right?Right!Today's the day I meet my supposedly devilish boss, I'm both anxious and terrified at the same time. To be honest, I can't help but dislike him a little, from the way people talk about him and also my little experience from working for him. You must be wondering how I've been working for him without seeing him for two weeks. Well, he's been assigning me duties through the Deputy Manager.=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•="We are going to have to start the meeting without him". One of the high ranked managers spoke up."No, we can't, you know how he gets when things are not done the way they're supposed to, and he's never late". One of the shareholders said to the man
When he said he missed me days back, I thought he'd be nice but nah, he's a full blown jerk. He's been sending me on ridiculous errands like the other day, he told me to look for a file at the library, I found it after some hours only to find out that he gave me the wrong name and section to find it, and yeah, I had to go back to sort those goddamn files again and he didn't even apologise. "Miss Lackley, I need you in my office right now". There he goes again, ordering me around. I swear one day I'm gonna snap even though the pay is beautiful. "You called, Sir?". I asked faking a small smile. "Yes, I'll need you to e-mail Crain industries about the issue I told you about earlier and visit the building to collect the document from the personal assistant of the CEO". He said, typing away and not even sparing me a glance. "Okay Sir but I'm assuming they're-". I was saying until he cut me off like he knew what was in my head. "Expecting you? Yes they are and they're waiting so be fast
After slamming the door yesterday, I just went home to cry my eyes out for two reasons; one I just lost a job and two, I lost my virginity to a jerk. I didn't regret it that night but now I do. Well, enough moping for me. Today's a new day and I'm gonna make the best of it by making it fun even though I've got no friends or family. So I made pancakes and eggs and ate to my fill, cuddled up in my oversized hoodie and switched Netflix on. I've been watching for a few minutes only to get a call."Ugh who's this human disturbing my peace. Is a lil time alone too much to ask?". I say to myself just as I was reaching for my phone. OMG what am I gonna say or do... But wait, why is he calling me?Y'all know who's calling? Guess, come on.It's LAWRENCE FU**ING BASMA."Hello Mr. Bas---" . He didn't even let me complete my sentence. " What time is it?". What a strange question."Uhm, It's 11:14, why do you ask?". I was utterly confused right now."Weren't you supposed to be at work by 9 am,
It's 2:am and I still am finding it difficult to sleep. Mr. Basma or should I say Lawrence left about an hour ago. He said 'i can't bring myself to leave, can I just stay over?'. He asked but I declined cause I know we ain't just gon sleep.You know what I'm talking about 😁Now waking up, it feels like I didn't even sleep at all and funny thing is that I'm not even feeling exhausted or tired. He'll, I'm excited, something that hasn't happened for a while.I got ready in thirty minutes and got to the office way too easy as I didn't see any employee here. I guess I'm just excited to see him, I thought but was interrupted by a woman's laughter.I wasn't as early as I thought then.What I saw next didn't shock me, it just felt like a slap on the face and I deserve it.I saw 'him' hugging a woman very intimately and kissing both her cheeks. Not being able to look anymore, I just turned and walked towards the elevator, preparing my professional face so I can get by today."Trina, I need yo
We kept on making out for a while, we even wanted to go further but I stopped when I heard a shutter sound. "What happened?". Lawrence asks not expecting my sudden jerk."I'm sorry, I know it's too early for this but I couldn't help myself, I'm really sorry Trina". He said, melting my heart further, and I could already see him blaming himself so I replied before he blames himself further."You're sweet, but that wasn't the reason why I stopped. I heard a shutter sound and I hope our pictures weren't taken if not it's gonna cause an uproar... You know you're famous and all". 'I said in panic cause I'm not ready for this we aren't even in a relationship and...'"Hey hey, it's fine... I didn't hear anything so I'm pretty sure you're mistaken okay? Don't panic". He said in a calm and soothing voice that I instantly calmed down."Okay fine, so where were we?". I said coming closer to kiss him but he turned away.HE TURNED AWAY HE JUST REJECTED MY KISSESOMG, is he already abandoning me
