PETAL’S POVI was in my hotel room editing the final article that would be released on the night before the election when one of the aides came to inform me that my attention was needed by the Chairman.I was led to the garden where I saw the Chairman having a glass of wine with a woman who seemed to be in the political sector too as they talked about things I couldn’t hear due to the distance.“Come closer, it’s not like I’m unapproachable” he called out and motioned for me to come closer which I did hesitantlyHe turned back to the woman who was on a black knee length gown with a butterfly shaped chest. Her dressing was classic and one could tell from her milky skin that she enjoyed a thorough skincare routines.“Good evening” I greeted, as soon as I closed in on the gap between us“Is she the lady you told me about? She has an excellent writing skills that doesn’t befit her face” she remarked with a chuckle and the smile on my face disappeared.She must have noticed the change in m
THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 65. FALLING
Monica was indeed standing before me as a completely different person. Everything about her had changed and I could barely recognize her if not that we have been friends for ages. Another shock swept me off my feet when I saw the person standing beside her.It was Marcus.My gaze swept from one person to the other as my mouth fell open, I couldn’t comprehend whatever it is that I was experiencing.“What is going on here? I mean, why are both of you together?” I managed to successfully ask without stutteringIt was at moment I noticed that they were on a couple shirt and the shock swept through me further.“By chance, it’s not what I am thinking about right?” I asked once again but she only kept staring at me.I was slowly getting annoyed with her silence, I couldn’t understand why she was only looking when there were millions of things she could say to answer my questions.“Are you being serious right now? How can you be with someone like this? Was this the happiness you wrote about f

The sight I saw got me shocked, I couldn’t believe what was happening right in front of me. There was never a time when I imagined that something like that could happen between the two of them.I had thought that they were only business partners and nothing else attached.“What if the madam see something like this? I just can’t stop myself from wondering who exactly the woman is and why she is so bold to do something disgusting in someone’s matrimonial home” I muttered to myself as I watched them from afar before my reporter’s instinct kicked in and I fished out my phone to get a shot.Immediately I got a shot, I sent it to Pamela and told her to keep it for me since I didn’t want it to remain on my phone should in case something happens. I wouldn’t want such a powerful piece of evidence in the gutter or the wrong hands.“This will be a powerful exclusive” I muttered before I returned to sightseeing before Marcus walked back to me and we went around together.We both talked in depth a

PETAL’S POVI made sure to visit Bea at the hospital the following day to check up on her and it happened to be the day she would be getting discharged. Her cast was already removed by the time I got there and it was hard to tell that she had an accident on the leg if not for the limping.I was also surprised to find Amanda beside her, helping her pack her bags and other things because I knew they were never on good terms with each other.“Good day Miss Petals” she greeted me cheerfully and I was surprised to see her greeting me that way.For several months, she had been relating with me in a rude way or most time, ignoring me. My expression must have communicated my thought to her because immediately she came to my front and apologized for being rude all these while.“Did she eat something wrong? What’s gotten into her?” I was forced to ask, scanning her from head to toe“She’s fine. Nothing is wrong with her” Bea commented, accompanied with a stifled laugh“I am sorry for always tre

Thick thunderstorms grazed the black sky that fateful midnight as a young lady crawled to the corner of the room where she hid and covered her ears with her tiny hands. She was weeping profusely and any time the lightning struck the sky, she would almost go into an attack mode.“Someone please help me. I am so scared” she kept on crying but it didn’t seem like anyone would comeShe couldn’t contain her tears when another round of loud thunder hit the sky and she broke down completely this time around. Thick mucus ran down her nose as she almost convulsed where she was hiding, her hand holding tightly unto her ears.“Becca! Are you okay? Where are you?” a voice called out desperately and searched through the darkness but she was too scared to even hear or answer.The footstep was approaching the corner where she was as the person called out her name every time before a sudden light flashed on her face where she shriveled in the corner.“Oh sweet Lord! There you are! What are you doing

PETALS’S POVStanley made sure to drag me to the doctor’s office the following morning as soon as we woke up. I even argued that he should go for his morning meeting before we go but he didn’t want to hear any excuse.“I will never postpone it no matter what you say. There is no going back Petals, we have to know what is going on as soon as possible” he insisted with a declarative toneI knew there was no going back no matter what seeing how he was proving stubborn with me.“But… it can wait. I don’t just want to be the reason why you would miss out on your meeting” I tried persuading him but he wouldn’t buy it.“Petals, I am a CEO. I can give a call and the meeting itself will be canceled with no one to question me. Don’t try to persuade me, I won’t take it from you baby girl” he declared and left for the car.He made sure to open the car’s door for me to sit down and closed it before igniting the car.

He made sure to check up on me everytime and when my legs finally healed, he proposed we go out for the dinner that fateful night. "Thank you for always being there for me even though we barely knew each other before the incident" I told him and he smiled "What do you mean we barely know each other?

You might have forgotten but I didn't forget" he told me and I was amazed Never did I remember encountering him at work "I'm afraid I can't remember ever seeing or working with you" I said truthfully and he smiled "If you could remember the time that the company organized a raffle draw and the tents we were supposed to use suddenly developed issues.

I didn’t wake up again for the next five hours after the drugs wore off and by the time I woke up, Stanley was already by my side.As soon as he saw me gradually opening my eyes, he rushed over and bombarded me with series of questions.“Baby! Are you fine? Do you need anything? Does it hurt anywhere? How are you feeling now?” he slammed and my eyes finally opened fully at the sound of his voice.“Gosh! You talk too much. I think calling the doctor is the first thing you should do” I lectured him and he paused to realize that was the first thing he should have done truly.“Ah that’s true.
