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

“So you’re a lesbian and how did your father take it?”They were still in the kitchen cooking the meal and Josephine took off her jacket showing off all her tattoos, “not well since he didn’t know I was a lesbian till I was 20 and that’s when he sent me to Korea,”She put the meatballs on fire, “and why did he send you to Korea?..., did he think it will help in some way,”“Yeah, I thought it will help me come back to my senses but I didn’t,”“Oh no?”“Yeah,”They laughed.“So tell me about when you first found out about your sexuality,”She grimaced, “don’t go there, I don’t want to remember it,”“Uhn…tell me, I promise to give you more meatballs,”Josephine smiled giving in and nodded, “Okay, I’ll tell you,”She sat by the counter.“I was around fifteen when I first found out my sexuality and it was with my best friend who didn’t see me in the same light so… we stopped being friends,”“Oh, shit,”“Yeah, that’s what I thought too until I met Andrea in college.

Jaxon sipped the cup of coffee he had bought that afternoon as he looked through documents in the restaurant that was Starbucks café. He paused in his drink.He had a lot on his mind that he didn’t want to think about but he just had to. There was the fact that his uncle had been disturbing him every day, paying a visit to the company as if to gauge the extent of their work and that was stressing him out.Then there was also the fact of his wife. He had slept with her and now he was ignoring her for no reason if he asked him. Just that he didn’t want to let that feeling or emotion happen between them. He loved Erin and there was nothing that was going to change.If only he hadn’t written that ridiculous note on her bra. Yes, he remembered it and he was going to blame it on the hangover. He hadn’t been thinking when he did that and had just acted out on impulse because of how cute he could remember she was when she was flustered.He sighed placing his hands on his head, he was an idiot

Alva woke up the next morning feeling a start of headache in her head and sat up on the bed wincing. She had a lot on her mind, a lot, and didn’t know what to do with it.First, there was the trance that had felt quite surreal and was now playing in her mind making her wonder if it was time to see her therapist.She remembered that the therapist had advised her to come to her later when she was all grown up and able to accept the trauma that happened to her years ago and she was ready.According to her, the subconscious of her mind was the only thing keeping her away from that memory and it could only be her acceptance that would bring it out.She sighed.There was also the fact that she had had her outburst with Jaxon making things awkward and had not paid him any attention ever since, she wondered if that was the right decision.She just couldn’t fathom that she had probably fallen for him and was now vulnerable to his actions.She sighed packed up her hair and stood, she would just
