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
Raymond did not understand what his brother was talking about.He looked at him with a face full of question marks."What do you mean never?" Raymond asked."Velma will never fall in love with another man?" Albert said with certainty."How sure are you. She is still so young and beautiful." Raymond did not understand his brother's train of thought."We have Dylan." Albert said.Raymond came to a realization. His brother was planning to use his own son to trap the woman he loved on his side, this was soo...."What are you going to tell mom and dad?" Raymond asked."They don't have to know anything for at the moment, I will explain to them everything when the time is right." Albert said."I know mom will have no problem with it, but the problem is dad, that man is hard to please." Raymond said. Thinking of his father's prejudices against everyone, he felt a headache coming.His father had been planning blind dates r
When Lyne entered the conference room and heard everyone discussing about Velma's proposal, she was pleased as her lips raised up in a happy arch.When she heard others proposing to fire Velma, she could not just contain her happiness."Mr. Robert you are absolutely right. This company only wants the best. If someone cannot deliver what we want, they can as well scram before tarnishing the company's reputation.""That is right director Lyne." Robert said."I suggest that..." before Lyne could finish her sentence a cold voice was heard from behind."What do you suggest director Lyne?" Albert asked as he swept his cold gaze across the people who were in the room.Everyone immediately shut up. They were not sure how long the president had been standing at the door and how much he has heard.They coward in fear as no one dare not to talk. Even Lyne broke in a cold sweat. Although she did not know what relationship was there between Velma
"President can you calm down. Everyone here knows how Director Lyne loves her work. She will never put the company's interest at risk just because of something petty!" Vice President Chris said. He had a close relationship with Lyne, and could not sit idol and see her be bullied. "Are you trying to say that I'm intentionally picking on her?" Albert said. "I did not mean that. I'm just saying that their must be a misunderstanding." Chris immediately said. Although he was a Vice President, he was very afraid of offending this big boss. "Why don't we here Velma's side of story before making any judgement." Albert said and signalled for Velma to explain herself. Velma stood up and nodded at everyone. "I'm just new to the company and I had no intentions of going against anyone but I will not seat still and let someone tarnish my reputation. I know I'm an amateur in the business world and not as profound as you guys. But there are some things that I
