Alva sat at the island of Jessie's kitchen restaurant the next morning as they talked drinking coffee, and she grimaced at the taste. She had always disliked coffee but had managed to get herself pretty drank the other night, so she needed coffee, not chocolate to get over her hangover. She dropped the cup on the island after sipping the last drop.“So, what do you want me to help you with today, you called me over pretty early,”“Just some recipes I came up with last night and there's the planning of another event I got yesterday,”“You got another event planning job yesterday?”“Yes, one of the dignitaries liked the work I did for Mr. Verdson's party and wanted me to do his,”“Oh that's lovely, I'm happy for you,”“Yeah, thank you,”She pursed her lips as if remembering something, “Ah who were those ladies that talked to you at the party, they seemed pretty familiar with you after we went back to the hall,”She grimaced, “Oh no, don't bring them up, I nearly suffocated because of

Jaxon slammed the file on the table that morning, looking outraged. He had the whole of the tech department present in the boardroom as he paced around, and the manager stood before him scared, what do you mean the package got infected, didn't you secure it?I did sir.Then please explain to me how a browser package created just yesterday got infected by a virus.He looked down, I sincerely don't know, sir.Apparently, you have to sit down because we have to decipher the problem, or we will not leave this place.He sat down and the rest of the employees adjusted in their seats, including the manager,Let's start with what you used to secure the package, of which quality was it?He walked into his office later that day with a loose tie and worried face and got surprised when he saw Erin in the office waiting for him, “Erin, what are you doing here?”She stood up to kiss him on his lips and smiled, “I missed you,”“You missed me?”“Mm,”“But Erin, you know you can't visit me in the offi

The room was the same.The smell…The atmosphere…Everything was the same as six years ago, and Alva groaned in her sleep.*Flashback*She was sitting beside her mom's bed as she cried, oblivious to the dark stain that surrounded her head. The pain was there, but she ignored it, feeling a bigger pain in her heart.She couldn't die… her mom was unable to die, or she wouldn't forgive herself.She groaned against the sheets, “Mom, please just wake up, I promise not to run away again, I promise to always stay by you, please…just wake up,”She didn't get a reply as the machine kept reading beside her, and she cried not knowing what to do. Likewise, she was 16 years old girl with a father who went abroad for a business trip and her siblings were too busy doing other things they didn't know of the accident that happened.They tried calling them though, but it wasn't going.She sat up with teary eyes, “Hey dearie, I think you should go lie down, the doctor will call you up if anything changes

Jaxon tried concentrating on the papers that lay before him that morning as he read them, but couldn't just concentrate. He couldn't get the image of his father lying helplessly in the hospital out of his mind, and that was messing with his brain.“Mr. Jaxon?”He snapped out of it, “Yes?”“The chart on the board, it is showing the amount of revenue we have incurred in the past week and the losses we have faced that same week,”He faced the projector, sighing. He was in a meeting with the accounting department of the company, and he couldn't say what was spoken about in the last five minutes.Likewise, he cleared his throat, “Could you please come again?”“Yes sir,”They went over the explanations again helping him understand the terms, and he noted them down, “So we're making a profit of 20% per day for now right?”“Yes sir, and it will tend to increase due to the increased demand in the market for browser packages and hostings, I believe we can make a lot,”“Okay, that will be all fo

The sight was messy, to say the least, the next morning, with employees running around trying to salvage the situation and him watching as customers called repeatedly to complain to them, he was at a loss for what to do.He had never been in such a situation before and didn't know how to react.“What is the extent of the damage?” He asked the tech manager at their meeting later that day, and he stood up to analyze.“We have the computers infected with viruses and the hijackers are taking control,”“So, what do you suggest we do?”“We have to shut down all our systems at least for today in other to clarify the whole thing,”“But we can't do that, other businesses under our jurisdiction would be affected and that could make us lose value and goodwill,”“There's nothing we can do, sir, I'm afraid. This could spread if action is not taken now, and that could cause even more damage,”“Okay do it, but we need only one day right?”“Yes, just today,”“Okay then I'll send a message to all our

Alva walked into the office of Jaxon's that evening as she held a pack of beer and she saw Jaxon turn at her entrance, "Alva?",She nodded seating down on the couch, "that's me","What are you doing here?","Relaying the message of your father's surgery",He immediately became tense and stood before her, "how was it?","You hungry?", She raised the box of chicken that was also with her,"I said how was it?","I thought you might be hungry so I ordered this late and brought it here","Alva...","What?",She looked up at him like she hadn't just ignored the most important question that mattered to him and he lost it. He placed his hands on her shoulder shaking her and shouted, "I said how was it?","If you were this curious, why didn't you come to the hospital yourself?",He looked taken aback, "that is because...I...","I know, you experienced a trauma when you were young and can't bear to wait for the news about the health of your loved ones",He sighed, "who told you?","Silas of cou

She woke up the next morning feeling the drunkenness leave her body and she realized what she had done. She had had sex with Jaxon.The one Jaxon who had told her that she disgusted him and the same Jaxon who had treated her like a ghost when she first came in.She banged her head against the shower wall.She couldn't believe she had had sex with him. Like yes, she had been drunk and way too horny for her liking but why had she given herself so cheaply to him like that.She banged her head against the wall again.Thankfully he hadn't been awake when she left the room that morning and she was calm but there was no guarantee that she wouldn't meet him again once she walked out of the safe confines of her room.She sighed.She had to go out of the house. Probably Jessie's house where she would find comfort and food right, and just stay there till she died, Like that would be better than facing him.She nodded turned off the shower and walked into the bedroom where she searched her wardro

It was the annual meeting of the board of directors that morning and Jackson sat on the right-hand side of the table with Mr. Smith sitting on the left and the chairman sat at the head of the table,“Shall we begin the meeting…” He looked at his board members who sat before him and opened the board pack on his table, “…let’s start with the issue of Jaxon and the CEO position,”They all sat up looking worried and concerned amongst themselves and the chairman cleared his throat, “let me hear your thoughts and whispers, I know it’s quite a matter of concern for all of us and this company, that’s why I’ve brought it up first, how about you start first, Mr. Jaxon?”Jaxon looked up from his watch which he had been staring at and gazed at the whole members, “Uhm I think we should wait for him to come back,”“But we have been waiting for him for one year…” a member intercepted, “…the letter says when he turns 21 and he turned 21 last year, so why isn’t he back yet?...”“I agree with Mr. James
