"Hello, boss," Margret immediately answered the office line."Come into my office right away," Liam instructed. Margret gulped, quickly stood up from her seat, and put the phone down. She saw Bambam smiling at her as she prepared to attend to a client sitting in front of her.Some clients entered Margret's office to see her too, but she directed them to other staff on the third floor, knowing the new boss disapproved of being kept waiting. Margret walked swiftly to Liam's office, knocked gently, and heard his curt reply, "Come in."Margret swallowed hard as she opened the door and walked into his exquisite office."What took you so long to respond to my call?" Liam questioned, his eyes fixed on his computer screen as his fingers rapidly typed on the keyboard."I'm sorry, boss. I came back late from lunch," Margret replied. Liam paused his typing and looked up at her."Do you want to be fired?" he asked."No, boss," Margret nervously responded, fumbling with her fingers as her palms bec
Temisa was at her father's mansion, a standard duplex in a government-owned estate that her father had purchased as a new home."Father, have you submitted my CV and application letter to the new boss?" Temisa asked as her father stepped into the living room. She was sitting on the long couch, filing and brushing her long nails.Mr. John frowned at his daughter. Instead of standing up to welcome him, she sat comfortably, treating him like an errand boy. "Temisa, you're quite unbelievable; not even a welcome greeting for your father?" Mr. John asked as he dropped his briefcase on the living room's center table and slowly loosened his necktie."I'm sorry, father. Good evening, father. Welcome home," Temisa said, lowering her legs from the couch and setting aside her nail file."Where's your mother?" Mr. John asked."She went to the market to restock the house with food," Temisa replied."And your elder brother?""Father! I'm not their keeper. I don't know where Martin went; I didn't ask
"Mom I cannot work with them if that's what their boss now wants from them," Temisa refuted as she stood up from the couch. She'd previously been sitting with her mother when Felicia left with the car key and went to offload the car's boot."I can understand you, Temisa, but know that your father went through the stress to get your applicant submitted to their boss. And it will be very insulting to your father if, after their new boss approves of you, you fail to resume with them. Remember, your result isn't even the best like that, and yet they want you to work with them." Mrs. Bianca said."But mother.." Temisa is lost for words to refute again as she stares at her mother, who is a beautiful, fat black woman."Just think about it, Temisa, and be easy on yourself. You're lucky your father is doing all this to get you at the top among your peers. As he told me personally, the CEO's father wants you to be engaged with his son and that the only way you can be engaged with his son is by g
Felicia is busy dishing out the delicious Oha soup that she has prepared. She was serving it out on the smaller soup plates when she heard the sound of the kitchen door clicking open.Felicia turned and stared at who the person was, and seeing Martin was the one, she quickly stared away from him, wondering what he wanted in the kitchen.Martin stared at Felicia's back and down to her slim, curvy waist, as he liked her, and even though he has a girlfriend, he isn't in love with his girlfriend as much as he loves her.Also, Martin knows he's supposed to see Felicia as his sister, but they aren't related by blood, and he doesn't even know how he will approach her and tell her about his true feelings toward her. When he wants to discuss his feelings with her, he feels stuck on the words that refuse to come out of his mouth.He watched her grow, and he has always admired her, knowing his mother likes her too.And so he stands by the kitchen door, scratching his head confusedly as he thinks
Felicia is absent-minded of anyone stepping into her room as she steps into her bathroom and takes her bath, splashing water on her long blonde hair as she decides to take a quick shower.She scrubs her body and her big breasts as she takes her baths quickly. And she switches on the shower again to rinse off the soapy water from her body as she's done bathing. Felicia steps out of the bathroom, and she's so shocked to see Martin standing in her room beside her bed and staring at her, still in his singlet top and blue shorts.Felicia almost screamed out, and like Martin knew, he rushed to her and covered her mouth with his palms as he hushed her up."Shush!" Martin hushed her up, holding her close, and Felicia shook her head for him to let go of her mouth, as she's scared of what he wants from her as it's already getting late.Martin finally let go of Felicia's mouth and stepped away from her, and Felicia quickly held up her towel tightly as it almost loosened to reveal her shaken, bar
Temisa sighed after Martin left her, as she knew Martin wouldn't support her like she had thought."Ugh!" Temisa gritted her teeth in anger as she stomped her leg sitting on the couch, and she screamed out, "He cares for Felicia more than me, his own sister. They all care for Felicia." Temisa stared back at the television displaying her favorite Bollywood movie, and she grimaced again as she finally picked up the television remote from the center table and switched it off.She finally walks back upstairs to her room to chat with her best, as she misses Anita so much, and she wishes Anita could come live with her, as Anita too doesn't like her family, just like her.Temisa missed her school life because she wouldn't get to see Felicia or her mother showing the silly white witch love, and she grimaced, "Argrrh!" She was growling and gritting her teeth in anger, and she scattered her hair. She then stepped into her room and slammed the door hard.****Martin was in his room, and he heard
"What is it?" Anita asked as she stretched on the sofa and relaxed back, resting her head on the arm of the sofa and laying on top of it. And Temisa replied, "Nothing serious. Since you don't want to tell me about it, I guess it's family problems?.""Yes, you guess right. It's not like I don't want to tell you about it, but I am also shocked to receive the news. My father got a suspension today from his bank, and they state some missing currency was detected under his records, and I know that to be a lie." Anita said."What!" Temisa gasped unbelievably."You mean he lost his job?" Temisa asked."No, not yet. They only suspended him and stated, If they're not able to trace back the missing fund, then his license to work with them or any other bank will be seized and he will be charged for fraud." Anita replied."What! I cannot believe all this is happening in your family. How will you guys cope now?" Temisa asked in worry."I don't know yet. That's why I am looking for a job at once. I
Anita stretched and yawned tirelessly as she sat on the sofa, feeling sleepy and not able to check on the trending gist again. She closes her laptop after switching it off, and she stands up to sleep on the bed she shares with Glory, feeling tired.Her mother sells provisions and cosmetics in her shop, and Anita hardly visited there as she was in school or at home cooking, and she knows her mom's provision store isn't big enough and won't be able to cater for all their needs if her father eventually goes cashless, as the bank her father works with still threatened to freeze his bank account if the issue of the fraudulent activity found wasn't resolved.Anita sighed and climbed on the bed to join Glory in sleeping, and she prayed silently in her heart to find a better job to be able to cater for all her siblings, her parents, and likewise herself before she finally drifted to sleep.***The following morning in her home, Anita wakes up late as she slept late the previous night, and she
