Temisa is in her room, organizing her things in her wardrobe while admiring the long gown she bought at the boutique. She wants to look like a true wife and please her future husband's family, so she chose and purchased the greatest gown she could find. She chooses a blue gown that complements her new blue shoe, and she is pleased with it. She enters her bathroom to take a bath, and she recalls what her brother had said. She had told him that she wasn't interested in the CEO or cared about his appearance since she didn't want to wear an oversized outfit to work at the time, but now she can wear a triple-sized outfit and have him all to herself. Temisa recalls Anita telling her that she should be grateful because the CEO does not have time for other women, unlike other well-known CEOs. She smiles and removes her clothes to take a bath, then walks towards her basket to place her dirty clothes in her basket of old clothing. She picks up her room television remote and turns off the t
Anita doesn't say anything to her mother as she gets up from her seat and proceeds to the kitchen to return her used dish. It's late, and most of her sisters are already asleep, so she chooses to wash and rinse her own soiled dish to keep it clean. Just then, her mother opens the kitchen door and goes in, sighing and apologizing: "I'm sorry, mom." "It's fine?" Mrs. Tonia answers by storing her used dish in the kitchen sink. "Goodnight," she says to Anita before leaving the kitchen, while Anita sighs and takes up her mother's used dish to wash it. She rinses it out and retains it, as well as the sponge, and organizes the kitchen neatly before finally leaving the kitchen and returning to her room for a quick shower. She shakes her head as she recalls the man who offered to drive her home. "What does he want from me?" she asks herself as she opens her room door and steps in. "I could have accepted, but I don't trust him," she says as she enters her bathroom and strips before takin
Anita leaves her compound and closes the main gate as she heads to the nearest bus stop to catch a bus to the industrial regions. After paying her fees, she gets on the next available bus and arrives at the industrial district bus stop. Anita hops off the bus and walks into the busy, crowded street, where many workers also navigate their way to their workplaces. She arrives at the main entrance gate of the Benson group of firms early and lines up, unlike the previous day. Anita looks at the line of large automobiles pulling into the company and wishes she had enough money to buy a car for her mother, who has always wanted to own and drive one. Since her father was detained, he hasn't been home, and the bank has automatically seized his car because she has not seen it since her father left for work and didn't return home. She stands in line, wondering why the bank personnel have yet to arrive at their residence to give them a quiet notice to depart. Anita sighs as the line mov
Anita looks at Liam's face and stammers, "I don't have any oversized clothes, so I wear my mother's." "Hmph!" Liam groans and returns to his desk, where he sits on his client seat, facing her, swirling it. "And you decide to wear this ridiculous outfit to work. How about the one you wore the prior day?" "The red one looked better, and the brown one is more suitable for you," he continues. "Oh." Anita blushes and looks adorable in his eyes. "My friend bought it for me," she explains, and Liam stiffens. "Which friend?" He asks her, which shouldn't have been a problem, but he wanted to know if she has a man in her life or a female friend. He merely wanted to see if she had a partner before asking why she offered her phone number to his client. Brown knocks and steps into Liam's office, rarely waiting for his boss's response. He notices the lovely secretary standing in front of his boss, sitting in the client seat rather than his customary boss seat, as the seat has been design
Liam sits in his office, glancing around and reflecting on Alfred's words: "I saw her crying, and she looked so red." His office phone rings, and he answers. "Hello, boss, I have sent him away," Raymond tells him. "Okay," Liam hangs up the phone, and just as he hears another knock on his door, he says, "Come in." He checks the client's name on his computer and sees "Amelia Gabriel," one of their respectable customers. "Good morning, ma." Liam stands up and shakes her hand. "C.E.O. Liam, nice meeting you today," said the old lady. "Thank you, ma." Liam motioned for her to sit. "I spotted your new secretary. She's far more attractive and pleasant than your old secretary." "Thank you, ma." Liam smiles while listening to the woman. "I really intend on introducing her to my son, but that's our little secret between me and her." "Okay, ma'am," Liam managed with a stiff smile, still reeling from Alfred's visit and announcement that he intended to take his secretary away.
"No, I can't; I am sorry," Anita says hurriedly, staring downward. "Why?" Liam asks her, biting his lower lip to calm himself because he has never asked anyone to join him for lunch except for Margret, who tries to sit with him and join him for lunch even though he has not asked her. "Nothing. I cannot; I apologize." Anita stares downward, wondering what those stupid females will say when they finally see her with the boss. "It's okay," Liam says, turning and exiting her open office as a group of female employees returns to the third level after purchasing takeout disposable plates to dine in their open offices. When Bambam sees the icy CEO go out of Anita's open office, her brow furrows once again. She doubts she will ever have the opportunity to grow closer to the chilly man. Bambam groans and walks inside her office across from Anita's, glaring at Anita as they meet again. Bambam notices Anita's face is red from weeping, and Bambam wonders if this is one of Anita's techn
Temisa goes out of Anita's office, and Anita sighs. Just then, Anita's office phone rings, and she immediately answers, "Hello, boss." "See me in my office right away," Liam says, cutting the call short as he realizes he's nervously fidgeting with his necktie and gradually losing his composure. Liam sits up in his office chair, waiting for Anita to enter. Then he hears her knock and responds, "Come in." Anita walks into Liam's office after pushing the door open. She forgets to clean her mouth after rapidly eating a spoonful of the food Temisa brought for her. She approaches Liam, who is sitting, and stands in front of him. "You sent for me, boss," Anita adds, unable to look up at Liam's face. "Yes, I did," Liam says, clearing his throat. "It has come to my attention that you have provided some of our best clients with your phone number. Why?" Anita drops her jaw and stares at Liam. "Nothing, sir." Words refuse to escape her lips, and she gulps and looks downward. "H
Mr. Taiye clears his throat and initiates a conversation with Anita. "I remember asking you to submit your CV. Have you done it yet?" he inquired. "No, sir, I still have it in my bag," Anita replied. Mr. Taiye nodded and requested, "Alright, please hand it to me, and I'll review it when I have some free time. I'll ask my son to provide feedback later." Liam overheard his father's conversation as he stood by the door but remained composed. "Okay, sir." Anita quickly retrieved her CV from her bag, placed it in an envelope, and handed it over to Mr. Taiye. Accepting the document, Mr. Taiye smiled and said, "Okay, dear. Have a great day. I hope my son isn't adding to your workload." "No, sir," Anita assured. "Father, can we leave now?" Liam interrupted, turning his attention back to the open office. "Certainly, son," Mr. Taiye responded. Mr. Taiye smiled at Liam and walked out with him to Liam's office, holding the CV he had received from Anita. Upon entering his son's
