One month later, Velma was all recovered and was planning to start her new job at Albert's company.
"Today is your first day at work, are you nervous?" Albert asked as he saw the woman all dressed up and glistening. He was so mesmerized that he did not want to like away. The more he stayed with her, the more his feelings for her deepened.
"Of course I am. I'm going to meet new colleagues and new friends, I should probably be sweating buckets right now." Velma said honestly.
It has been more than 11 months since she has stepped foot into an office or touched any work designs. When she got pregnant her father immediately forbade her from going to the company with the fear that she might hurt her baby. She stayed at home all through and never left even once.
"Thank you." Velma said. She knew very well that the Gulf Financial Group did not invest in jewellery, but because of her, Albert has taken a step forward to start in investing in jewelry. She is e
In the meeting, after Velma finished her presentation, the room was dead silent as everyone looked at her with amazement. She did not notice the wonder in their eyes as she became nervous."Have I overdone it? What will I do. Where did I mess up?" She thought as she looked at Albert who was sitting at the head of the huge conference table.Albert gave her a reassuring gaze and cleared his throat.The board members were jolted back to their senses by their CEO coughed. They looked slightly embarrassed as they have been lost in Velma's presentation.But they were old sly foxes so they could not show their embarrassment easily.Everyone started clapping in the conference room. Velma felt that her ears will definitely turn deaf."That was good, very good Miss Velma. I have always been a love of jewelry and seeing your designs, I fell in love with them. I think venturing into this business is a good idea." One of the executives gave his sin
"Director, did you call for me?" Lyne's assistant asked with caution. Her boss was rarely in a bad mood and she wondered what might have happened in the conference room earlier.Today's meeting entailed only the top management. Only Vice Presidents and Directors of importance departments in the company attended."Do you know about the woman who came today, the one the company wants to hire?" Lyne asked."I don't know but when I reached the company today I heard people saying that our president came in with a woman and when he spoke to her he had on a gentle expression and was very patient!""The president came in with her?" Lyne asked not believing what her assistant was saying. Everyone in the company knew that Albert had no patience while dealing with women, she wondered how that woman managed to do that even the president could bring her personally."The people said that they were even holding hands. But who would dare gossip about it. No one ca
It's been one month since Velma started working at Gulf Financial Group. Everything was going smoothly and she has hired a group of talented people to help in designing.Some who truly loved her from Lovelast have also joined her. Everything was going well for her and her life was great.She was looking through the final drafts when her phone suddenly rung. Looking at the caller, her face softened but her heart turned nervous."Hello Auntie.""Hello, do you still remember that I'm your auntie?" Alvin's mom voice came through the phone.Velma felt warmth flood her heart.This woman has always treated her like her own daughter since the first time she saw her. She was very kind and passionate and sometimes even neglected her own son just to be with her."No auntie, of course you are still the best auntie to me!" Velma said, her lips curling up in a happy arc."But why haven't you called me, it is a year since I have heard f
Eunice had already arrived at the agreed location and was drinking tea.She did not want to order before Velma arrived because the food would turn cold.As she was still pondering about what to order once Velma arrived, her cell phone suddenly rung."Auntie have you arrived?" Velma asked."Yes. Where are you?" Eunice asked."I'm sorry. There as an accident upfront so the road is temporarily sealed off. I will trouble auntie to wait a while longer because I need to change the route." Velma explained."Okay do not be in a hurry. Take you time and be careful." Eunice said over the phone."Okay thank you auntie for your understanding." Velma said and hung up the phone.After twenty minutes, she arrived at the hotel. She rushed to the private room she had booked without wasting time."Auntie..." Velma called out the moment she entered the room. Her face carried a sweet smile as she walked towards the table."You are he
Velma was still enjoying the time with her baby when her phone rung. Looking at the caller her brows furrowed. "Hello..." "Velma Loteni, where are you?" Lyne asked. "I took the afternoon off. I had something to do." Velma said, not understanding why the woman was angry. She asked for a leave from the president himself, was there anyone with a higher position than the president? "Who approved your leave. I'm your immediate boss, how dare make your decisions without informing me? Come back to the company this instant." Lyne said coldly over the phone. "But the..." "Do you want to tell me that the president approved your leave. You know we have to hurry up with the first batch of products. We are struggling to come up with the best PR method for your department but you are out there enjoying yourself. Only you don't have to work hard?" Lyne said angrily. Ever since Velma joined the company, the president has been takin
Velma returned to her office. She could not let others take advantage of her even if that person was her boss.She knew that Lyne was just making things difficult for her. She could not sit still and let someone bully her."Boss you are back?" Those people who came from Lovelast Company, were used to calling Velma boss, and that did not change even after joining Gulf Financial Group."Yes. We need to hurry with the designs, the production is supposed to start in two days time, then we will have to hold a press conference to showcase our products.""Everything is almost done, just some touch up here and there." Someone said."Just do that." Velma said. Sensing that she was not in a good mood, the person shut up and concentrated on her work.Her phone rung after sometimes. Looking at the caller, Velma sneered and refused to answer. But the caller apparently had no intentions of giving up.After seeing that she will not give up, Ve
After sitting for a while, Velma packed her stuff and left the office. The sky had already darkened and night was approaching.Just as she reached the parking, she saw a lonely figure of a man standing beside her car, Velma halted in her steps. She has heard a lot of stories of people getting assaulted, she was scared to move forward.Albert who had heard footsteps turned around to look when he did not hear someone moving anymore. Velma was standing there, looking at him with vigilance."Why did you stop?" Albert did not know what Velma was thinking about and asked softly.Seeing that it was Albert, Velma heaved a sigh of relief. It was dark in the parking lot so it was hard to make out the figure standing beside her car from the darkness.She walked over with ease."Why did stop walking?" Albert asked again when Velma reached his side."I did not know that it was you. I was just being careful. There are a lot cases of people ge
When Velma and Albert entered the house, they found someone sitting on the coach while holding the baby. Velma was especially shocked as the person looked exactly like Albert. It was as if they were made from the same mould. Both had sharp and well defined features. They were handsome and could take away someone's breath easily. "Yoh bro, you are home?" Raymond said when he saw his brother. His face bloomed into a huge smile. But it soon fell. "Bro, how could you do this to me? Why didn't you tell me that I have a sister-in-law and even a nephew? Am I not your beloved brother anymore?" Raymond said as he faked a sob. Velma was astounded by the person before her. How could a grown up man be so dramatic! But Albert did not say anything and looked at his brother coolly. "When did you come back?" Albert asked as he went over to carry his son. "Not long ago. After I dropped dad and mom home, I immediately rushed over t
