Charles arrived home late in the night, but his father was already home, so he retired to his bedroom on the third floor to sleep. Sensing that his parents might have had their dinners and gone to bed in their bedroom too, he entered the elevator and went up to the third floor.The presidential villa was dead silent, and he walked into his sitting room, remembering when he had returned home the previous week and saw Nancy sleeping peacefully on his sitting room couch.His fist clenched as he missed her, knowing he had made a terrible mistake by letting her go.He sighed and walked into his bedroom, taking up her photo still on his bed, staring at her beautiful face as his room bulb was still brightly on."I still love you, and now I don't think I can keep up with my promise to you," Charles thought, remembering he had promised not to search for her or monitor her again.He continued to stare at her photo silently, then spoke."What do I do now? I have to travel, but what excuse do I ha
CEO Jerry paced about in his office at first before finally walking up to his huge desk and sitting down.Thinking for a while, he knew that he had some clients waiting who wanted to meet with him.He clicked impatiently on his office desk and finally picked up the office phone to call Mrs. Aria."Send your assistant into my office to see me," he said in a cold voice.Mrs. Aria was taken aback by his order, thinking he wanted to say, "Send the clients into my office.""Boss, do you mean my assistant or the clients waiting?" Mrs. Aria nervously asked. The office line went silent for a while before she heard him say, "You heard me clearly, didn't you? Send your assistant first. I would like to speak with her, and don't ask me again."The call disconnected, and Mrs. Aria gulped as she tilted her head and stared towards Nancy's desk.Nancy smiled at her, wondering why Mrs. Aria was staring at her."Miss Sophia, the boss requests that you should see him now," Mrs. Aria informed Nancy."Me?"
After Nancy was through with her meal, she went back to her office and decided to ignore all those who were jealous of her, as she couldn't quit her job. Neither did she want to stoop so low as to their level of toxicity and quarrel with them. She was glad that Mrs. Aria wasn't a jealous woman, probably because Mrs. Aria was a married woman and didn't have time to be jealous of her fellow single ladies."How are you feeling now?" Mrs. Aria asked her, just as Nancy settled into her office seat, which was in the same glass office as Mrs. Aria."I'm a lot better now, thanks," Nancy replied with a smile."You're welcome," Mrs. Aria smiled back at her."Here are the remaining files that you need to work on, as I have worked on the previous files. Probably next week, I will teach you how to upload the new files into our computer," Mrs. Aria said, and Nancy only replied, "Okay."Nancy collected the files from Mrs. Aria's desk, and this time, she was faster with her work.After she was through
Nancy was all smiles as she walked back into her room. She couldn't believe that Mr. Tobe had truly invited her for a treat and to introduce her to another lovely meal at the restaurant.She had seen those meals online before, but she was used to fried food, mostly because she didn't want to eat anything that would upset her stomach and cause digestive issues, especially now that she was working every day.She smiled and locked her parlour door, grateful that Mr. Tobe cared for her.In the kitchen, she grabbed a flat plate and a spoon, and took out a cold bottled drink from the new drinks she had bought and stored in her fridge. She returned to the parlour to enjoy her meal.She picked up the television remote, switched on the TV, and tuned in to a romance movie channel.It was a seasonal movie, and they were showing the moment the female lead of the movie was being humiliated by her bridegroom's family.Nancy loved the movie and she got engrossed in watching it as she slowly ate her m
Mrs. Aria was all smiles as she was a senior staff, and she was dressed in a black coat and a white top underneath, along with a black straight skirt and white shoes."Welcome, Sophia," she greeted Nancy, who usually arrived by 7:30 am, before the company's starting time at 8 am."Good morning," Nancy replied, wondering if she had arrived late."Am I late?" Nancy asked, flashing Mrs. Aria a beautiful smile."No, dear, just a minute to go. But even if you arrive late, it will only result in a deduction from your monthly income, not termination," Mrs. Aria reassured her, and Nancy smiled in relief."Thanks for the info," Nancy said."You're welcome. I can see that you're looking better today," Mrs. Aria commented on Nancy's simple attire and bright face, to which Nancy replied, "Thank you."Nancy arranged her seat properly, knowing that the cleaners in the company usually cleaned all the office seats and desks before the staff arrived. But she took out her own duster to still wipe her se
Nancy didn't know that CEO Jerry wasn't even eating his own lunch yet. She was so engrossed with her food that she didn't know he was watching her.Not until she wanted to eat her fried chicken laps, she saw him staring at her, and he hadn't even eaten the spoonful in his hand yet.Nancy became shy and wondered why he hadn't started eating yet. She asked him, "Anything wrong?"CEO Jerry smiled friendly at her and replied, "No, actually. I love the way that you eat your meal, so elegantly.""Mmm," Nancy smiled and muttered to him, "Thank you."Nancy used her fork and knife to slice the chicken elegantly and ate it. She loves food, so she was always focused when eating her meal and she usually didn't talk when eating too.CEO Jerry finally resumed eating his meal as he saw they still had about 30 minutes left for lunch period to be over, and he ate his meal exquisitely too.Nancy finished her meal first and took a bottle of water instead of the drinks set on the dinner table. She drank f
Mrs. Aria could not believe what Nancy said about not being interested in CEO Jerry. She assumed that probably Nancy was only just forming or showing off since Nancy was cute.She already knew it was either Nancy who was after CEO Jerry to make CEO Jerry fall for her. Or CEO Jerry too was after Nancy, as she was very beautiful.Mrs Aria decided to mind her business for the rest of the day.After Jeffrey Holdings closed by 6 pm. Nancy stood up from her office seat and she backpacked her handbag to leave for home."Bye ma," Nancy said to Mrs Aria who was also packing up her handbag to leave."Yeah Sophia, bye," Mrs Aria replied with a smile and she watched Nancy walk away.Nancy was out from the company building, and just then, she saw Henry arrive in his car and he parked ahead and waved to her to come.Nancy walked over to where he had packed outside of the company gate, and she greeted him, "Good evening""Good evening Sophia, I arrived on time due to the road was busy," Henry said,
Mr. Tobe was also leaving the restaurant as he wanted to make his way out to deliver meals to other customers who had ordered their meals online, and he met Nancy as she walked in to find a seat."Oh, Miss Sophia, I wasn't expecting to see you here," he smiled at Nancy, and she smiled back at him."Good evening, it seems the restaurant is filled. I just decided to stop by and have my dinner here, instead of ordering it at home, as I feel Jeffery Holdings isn't far from here," Nancy said, and Tobe smiled at her, "Of course. There are still a lot of empty seats there, go over to that section."He pointed to some rows of empty seats ahead, and Nancy smiled at him and replied, "Thank you. But I will be here tomorrow, so you can give me a good treat.""Surely, I will be expecting your visit," Mr. Tobe said with a broad smile on his face, and he finally walked away.Nancy smiled and made her way towards the empty seats that were available, and she saw that more customers were arriving at the
