Sharon
I spin to the other side trying to pretend not to know him as I put back the kitty head.
"Buttercup?" He calls out, strutting in front of me.
"How may I help you, sir?" I croak my voice so he wouldn't discover it's me.
"You can't help me in any way Sharon, stop hiding I know it's you" he snickered softly and strode closer to me.
"Gosh, how did you find out it was me?" I pout my lips annoyingly.
"Your phone was the first thing I saw, what are you doing here?" He eventually asks what I hoped he doesn't ask.
"Can you come again?" I needed time to think about what to say.
"What are you doing in front of Camilla's company?" He asks, yelling into my ears.
"Camilla? Which of the Camilla?" I queried, twinkling my eyes.
"Baby" my system stopped working when I heard her voice.
"Buttercup, did you come here with him?" She asks, clutching her arm around my brother's arm.
"Don't call me buttercup, my brother is the only one that can call me that" I whispered.
"Oh okay, I'm sorry" she answered in her normal naive expression.
"You haven't replied to me yet, why are you in a costume and what are you doing here?"
"I came to help my friend out that's all" I retorted instantly, trampling my feet as I discarded the costume.
He shouldn't scold me in front of his fiancee, I won't take that.
"Sharon, my mom asked me to get some.." Daniella halted halfway, discovering that I wasn't standing alone.
"Good evening sir" she bowed her obeisance to my brother and he waved at her with a smile on his brims.
"I'll be on my way then, I'll call you" she took the costume from me and tottered away.
"Let's go" he proposed but I was standing still.
"It seems like she has something more to do, don't let us be an intruder" she smiled softly, guess she needs some spare time with her lover.
Dear Camilla, I won't give you that chance today. I scowl and walk closer to my brother.
"I'll go with you, I'm feeling very hungry" I held my tummy, feigning to get his interest.
"Oh good choice, you can get in the back seat," he says to me, I shot him an evil glare and all he did was a wink.
I swiveled my eyes annoyingly as I hopped into the backseat, the drive to my mom's restaurant is kinda far and long.
"Should I play a song?" He asks for our viewpoint.
"Of course yes" we both answered in unison, I don't think we'll choose the same song tho.
"God's plan by Drake or thank you next by Ariane grande?" Is my brother not setting himself in a comfortable position with this.
"God's plan"
"Thank you next" I flared my nose at her head.
"I'm kidding, God's plan" she chuckled softly.

"You're all here" mom giggled excitedly and I rushed to receive a warm hug from her but to my surprise, she ignored me and hug Camilla instead.
What nonsense?
"You're looking fresh" she cheered my mom and she smiled along.
"Mom" I cried out, sulking my lips and shooting out my eyes.
"Don't mom me, you should have remembered me when you were busy advertising yourself to the world" she grumbled, peering at me like she'll beat me up.
"Advertise me to the world as to how? I don't understand" I was confused about what she just said.
"Someone uploaded your video on her page calling you a great advertiser" she brought out her phone and searched for the video.
Camilla and Ethan walked into the restaurant, leaving the two of us alone.
"Are you going to stand outside forever?" Mom asks, hauling me to go inside.
"Are you sure you didn't pick me from the street? Because you're treating your daughter-in-law better than your daughter" I growl, tilting my head.
"What rubbish are you jibbering about? I'm your mother, I gave birth to you" she said, acting too serious.
"I was only kidding, you don't have to take it this serious" I hum, deeming guilty about what I said.
She didn't say anything and I followed her inside the restaurant, it's about time for the restaurant to close for the day but customers are still enjoying their food.
I saw Ethan and Camilla seating in a corner, chatting and giggling like they just met each other. I was about strolling towards them when mom grabbed my hands.
"Don't be a third wheel sharon, you can't be 21 and still act like a kid, leave these couples alone" she flashed with an eye roll.
"Shouldn't I have a boyfriend at 21? You should let me have one" I whine feebly, fixing my hair up.
"You can have a boyfriend but I want you to wait for your Mr right" she smiled, dabbing my hair.
"Mr. Right, Mr. Right, I wonder when he'll come"
Nathaniel
"Come in," I said to Draco immediately I heard him knock.
"Sir, I went there today and.."
"And what? You shouldn't even bother telling me stories, just show me what I need" I ordered but he just kept silent.
"The thing is, she hasn't snapped any pictures this week, this is the only thing I have about her right now" he mumbled, pushing the tablet on the table to me.
I picked it up in a hurry and was amused about what I was watching, I don't know someone can be so cute and beautiful.
"I want this in a display TV, I'll put it in my room instead of a picture" I requested, he nodded and walked out.
"Sir, Sir" Draco was strutting in between the door and my secretary, Ava barged in without permission to do so.
"How many times do I have to tell you never to come into my office until I say so?" I half shrieked, eyeing Draco to urge him to get out.
"I'm sorry, this is important" she says in a hurry, breathing rather too fast.
"You must be sick Ava, what can be more important than my order?" I was getting disturbed by her confrontation.
"The Chairman of New Day organization requested to meet you and I want to know your decision before agreeing to it" it's something important, she's not to be blamed.
"He or She?" I ask in a calming tone, tilting my head in different directions.
"I think the Chairman is a woman but I don't know why they call her Chairman instead of chairwoman"
"You have a phone, right? And it's connected to the internet, you can as well sit all day and ask Google why they call her Chairman" I grumbled.
"I'll agree to the letter and set up a time" she announced and drop a file on my table.
"Make it today but let them choose the location, I won't be available from tomorrow" I informed and she nodded in agreement.
"What? Sir, you have a lot of things on your desk you can't travel yet"
"Oh really? Why do I have a competent secretary?" I raised my brows, eagerly waiting for her reaction.
"Oh my, Sir. I'll be honored to help you out" she smiled sheepishly.
"In your dreams, I'm done with everything here except for the one you just dropped. Now if you'll go" I said bluntly, indicating her way out.
MarianneI was about to wear my bra when the door sprawled open with my fiancee standing in between the doors.My whole system stopped working as I set my eyes on him, he was holding a bouquet and a cake in his hands.The cake dropped making a loud banging on the floor, I winked at my secretary to get out and I rushed into my closet to change into something.He wasn't there when I came outside as I run after him. "Baby" I called out in the most pathetic tone."You must be insane for calling me baby, just look at yourself!" he yelled, his whole face turning red."You don't have any right to insult me, it was a mistake and you won't even give me a chance to ask for forgiveness" I groan, crossing my arms over my chest and leaned on the wall."I disagree to believe that you're Marianne, I caught you naked with your secretary and you still have the guts to talk back"
Nathaniel"A beautiful night, Hi Nathaniel" for seriousness sake, seeing me for the first time and calling me by my name?How absurd?"Hi" I replied coldly, wearing an emotionless face."Why are you acting so cold? I'm Marianne Maureen" she smile flirtingly, stretching her hand for a handshake."We could do that later" I shunned."Are you sure you came here for business?" I questioned, gazing at her body."Yea, yes sure I came to talk about business" she stutter, feeling uncomfortable."Okay, I've heard a lot about your company and the only reason I agreed to meet you was because of your company animating skills" I wouldn't call this a compliment."Wow, I'm glad to hear that as the company's chairwoman" she giggled excitedly, winking along."Oh you're the Chairwoman?" I knew but pretended not to know."So, here's wha
Ethan"Let's take her to the hospital" I requested, running out of the restaurant and she followed behind.I drove as fast as I could but to my surprise, there were no hospitals around."Turn to the right corner, there's a hospital at the end road" her voice was frail and she was panicking.I pull over in front of the big hospital and carried her in with the help of the nurses.**"Calm down mom, she'll be fine" I found the perfect word to console her as she wouldn't stop pacing around to and fro."I know, but she was okay a while ago" she sniffled, holding her waist.A few minutes later, the doctor walked towards us and we both meet her halfway."What's wrong with my daughter?" Her tone was loud and it was disturbing the others, I held her hand and turned to the doctor."The lady you brought in is fine, she's okay except for the fact that she doesn't rest. She hurt her head bu
Sharon"Well done Sharon" he swatted his hands and I fixed my gaze on the walls, unable to face him."I didn't hear anything, anything at all" I tried to lie but he knew all along that I was strutting."Just don't worry, did you need anything?" He asks, glancing at me as he rolls on the bed."No, I d.."" You need something" my subconscious chastised and I clenched the hem of my bathrobe."Your WiFi isn't connected and I need it to…"To surf the internet till 6:00 am? You made a mistake tonight dear sis, go get me your phone and laptop" he requested but I stood stupefied, unable to comprehend what he just said."It's not a must you turn on your WiFi, I don't need it anymore" I hum, swiveling my eyes."The doctor said you don't rest and we used
SharonI was confused and tired, feeling slight pain from my head. With this, I don't think I can go anywhere.After a while, I was done eating my breakfast and was too lazy to take the dishes to the kitchen as I fall on the bed tiredly.IrisI paced around the restricted room to and fro and my friend's stared at me awkwardly."When will she be here?" Betty broke the silence and It was hard for me to reply."Iris, why you go dey act like say you be the Miss perfect? (why would you be acting like you're Miss perfect)" I turned to Chioma, who spoke In a language I barely understand."You should know your place Chioma or whatever your name is? You were all here when I called her, let's wait for her" I half yelled, crossing my hands."Miss perfect" she mumbled again but I decided to ignore her.An hour later"Listen up guys" I called everyone together."Let's wear our mask, the CCTV won't be able to discover us that w
Sharon"I knew I'll be happy once I come here" Daniella mumbled and chuckled loudly."You're here too?" I raised my brows at Jason."Yeah, I met her on the way and she was kinda down about something" he tweaked the edge of his nose shyly."Oh, you both came here for a purpose" I pout my lips whilst shaking my head."What to do? I'm grounded and I can't go anywhere" I sat on the doorsteps, panting slowly."What happened?" Daniella asked, referring to my head."This? I don't know, I passed out yesterday night and ended up getting hurt" I replied perfunctorily."We would sort ourselves out, take care babe" Daniella waved and they both smile whilst trying to leave."Wait" I shouted at them."I'm coming" I raised my hand in the air and rushed inside.I trace my eyes around my wardrobe to find something casu
AvaI thought the door sounded because of the wind, my phone slipped down from my hand as I set my eyes on Nathaniel.My goodness!He was standing in between the doors with his eyes looking like it was about to pop out and I could feel anger in his face.What to do? I stood lifelessly whilst clutching my hands in between my thighs and I stared downwards.He should at least say something, he's just standing there like a statue."Get out" my heart beats as if it was going to burst anytime from now and his voice felt like it pierced through my skin.I tottered outside and before I could take more steps away, the door behind me was slammed so hard and I regretted going in there at all.Elina (Sharon's adoptive mom)"Be careful ma'am" it was too late and the glass cup slipped from my hand.Goodness, I don't feel comfortable
SharonHow's showing my talents to get money petty money? Curiosity got me and my brain worked twice as faster as earlier to get a perfect answer to this."Sharon" he called out but I was too lost in my thoughts to even reply."Seems like we'll have to end our hangout now, I'm tired and don't think I can continue this again" it was a lie but it doesn't seem like it."I don't mean to say that, just a…""Wow! Do you think I'm annoyed because of that? No, it's not""See ya tomorrow birthday boy" I patted his shoulder and shut my eyes tightly when walking away."Sharon!" I almost forgot that Daniella was also here."You can go with him if you want to, there's a lot of popcorn in my house" I tried to make a joke which doesn't even look funny."I'll call you" anyone could tell that she likes him and I'll rather leave them alone than to be a th
