“Fine, we’ll change the song.”They changed the song, but it was no better choice either. It was yet another love duet. They knew they couldn’t back out of the game or else, it might raise suspicions.Dion followed along with his verse with the aid of the subtitles on the screen. He was not so familiar with the song. He had heard it a couple of times, he had never memorised the lyrics, but Mpumi was glad enough that he at least knew the tune.“God, they look so beautiful together,” Sam whispered to Thabo. Thabo was not pleased with that.  Emilia too felt betrayed by the two people. She cursed Mpumi for being so innocent to her face and snatching Dion’s interest behind her back. She grieved over Dion for falling for a woman he ‘recently met’.Everyone was shocked over how Mpumi and Dion fell in love over ‘just two days’ of camp.………………&he

With the days passing, the wounds were starting to cover—the people were getting used to the situation. It had been over a month. They were starting to accept Dion’s cancer, and starting to understand why Mpumi was that skinny and shaky, often dizzy and nauseous. The office was slowly becoming a happy place again.………………… “Your son will become history in seven months from now,” a man said at the meeting that Dion was absent from,” who will be CEO? We need to start looking for a new CEO.”Bowman did not like that. He saw a glimpse of satisfaction in the man’s eyes. Bowman gathered all his strength on this one to keep contained, “He is not dead yet, sir Simon. It is insensitive to start plotting his demise so soon.”“Whoa, whoa. Insensitive? Huh!” the man leaned onto the table as if approaching Bowman who sat opposite him around t

Mpumi had told Sam everything regarding Dion, the CEO. Mpumi had found friendship in Sam, she was glad to finally get to tell someone about everything.Sam was in awe. Such a story didn’t seem possible but hearing it from Mpumi, she was so excited that she wanted to tell Thabo about it too.“Sam, no. It’s best we don’t.” Mpumi did not want Thabo knowing about this. He had professed his love for her and it made her uncomfortable. She had been avoiding him since then.“Oh, you’re right. This so great. All along I didn’t know I was walking around with someone this amazing. You held three jobs for them, and then you had to study. You turned him from a beast of a man to the charming and polite gentleman that he is today. You know, this is like our modern-day society...”Sam continued, “All these young women straining in these toxic relationships grooming the boys for the next woman. It pisses me off.

Dion finally managed to take her hand, she knew now that she was to stand still. He gazed at her eyes just as she did his. He was short of words to say to her. He brought his palm to her cheek, nearing the woman he slid his palm to the back of her neck. That way he was able to pull her closer. Their foreheads touched. He was aimed at her thin lips, but he would not get himself to. He was unsure if it would be right.There budged in Thabo, “Hey, Mpumi.”He immediately paused at the door as soon as he saw them. Dion did not expect that.He was stuck for a while, having Mpumi in his arms. He started to let her go, slowly. He remained calm. He was like someone who had been caught doing something wrong. He would not bring himself into looking into Thabo’s eyes. Dion felt too ashamed. He was caught touching one of his employees. He felt embarrassed, but he still kept cool. He finally walked out leaving only Mpumi and Thabo.Thabo grabbed a sea

Thabo had become a regular in the house of Dion Hill. Dion was starting to feel pressured to up his game, by Thabo’s presence around Mpumi.“No,” Dion said, “come with me instead. I am taking you to Cape Town. We are flying by jet.”“Ah, why you?” Thabo was crashed a bit. He quickly thought of something, “Hm! Mpumi is not that kind of girl. You can’t buy her with all your money and luxurious things. Can he now, Mpumi?”“Ow, of course not.”“See? Come with me, I’ll show you my favourite places in the city. I’ll have you enjoy all my favourite meals. I promise, you will enjoy this day.”“No!” cried Dion. “Come with me and you’ll show me the train. I have never gotten into a train before.”Thabo laughed at Dion’s idea as if it was the most ridiculous one ever. Dion did not like that, “What are you laughing at
