con. p5, presence to the fam dinner.There definitely could be a 2nd book to explore G & P's relationship, as well as, Keith & Bru's.Or how G's mother is completely enthralled by Smith & has broken ties with her sons.This book should have bn longer bc there was enough to explore & provide answers to.

One of the surprising departures from Priscilla 's character was inaction during the 8 day MIA in their contact. Priscilla had always shown confidence in her quick & precise analytical abilities. How she saw through Smith & Rubens' sleazy demeanor & actions, esp during the fam dinner episode. con.

I'm nervous.  It's my first job interview since I finally became a certified advocate, and I feel like sitting here, in the waiting lounge of Southerford Inc., I'm this close to spilling the contents of my stomach all over the place.  This close. I'm practicing breathing in through the nose, breathing out through the mouth, closing my eyes to concentrate, basically doing anything to calm my frizzling nerves, but the saying 'it's easier said than done' never felt truer to me than at this moment. One at a time, people are being called in through the door right in front of my eyes, some going in as if getting this job means everything to them, others looking like they'd rather be pooping in a forest and wiping their butts clean with poison ivy than be here. I blow a loud breath through my mouth. "Come on...-" "-Gard, Priscilla?" I feel my pumping organ jerk at the woman officer in charge of us i

When I walk out of my 8:39 a.m. meeting with my team of financial advisors, I’m reminded by my PA, Bru Sifen that the interview for a new law consultant is underway. “The interviews are going as planned, Gerrard, right on schedule,” she says, reading from her tablet as we weave through the main office building to the Interview Lounge. “The last two candidates are remaining to be met.”I pass by employee after employee as I go, Bru’s words registering in my head. This last law consultant’s position is important. My team of legal experts just needs one more person to complete the unit. And it’s got to be the best person out there, because I have big plans, and I need a good team to keep all legal fixes out of the picture. Get me through the loopholes, so I can focus on my business and not on fucking laws I got to adhere to or the defaultsI’ve made

I can’t believe I actually got the job. Southerford Inc. is notoriously difficult to get into, even for experienced professionals, and I got the job?If this isn’t a pinch-me moment, I don’t know what is. I’m being led to the third floor of the main building through the atrium by one Mr. Smith. He tells me he’s one of the first members on the team of legal experts, and it takes no genius to guess he’s one of the senior members on the team-- work-wise as well as age-wise. “Now, Ms. Gard, I’d like you to not feel overwhelmed by work on your first day,” Mr. Smith says with a smile, but there’s just something so cunning about the air around him that I restrict myself to formal yet cordial smiles with him. “I’d suggest getting familiar with your surroundings and colleagues today, and then we can slowly get you used to your work targets.”The lift dings open

I know I shouldn’t be feeling this way, but the mood in my office changes so drastically and so desperately and so... weirdly whenever my big brother comes over that I just can’t handle it. It’s so annoying that at this point, I’ve stopped trying to even spur on any kind of conversation. Because whenever I do, it fizzles out like a poor-quality firecracker. Even now, Keith just sits there, right in front of me as we hang out at the conference table in one of my offices, tapping his fingers on the table. He’s looking around the office as if he hasn’t already been here a thousand times, ignoring the elephant in the room as if that’s ever helped.I sigh. “Keith, I’ve told you. I can’t be there for dinner next week. We have a party here at the office then.”Keith shrugs. “You’re going to have to tell that to mum yourself, Gerr. I’m not going to be your messenger al

Ruben doesn’t play. As I wait at my desk, waiting for ‘something to be sent my way’, I think about what’s happened since morning. First, Gerrard Southerford himself witnesses my interview for the position of a law consultant in his company. Second, it becomes helluva lot apparent to me that he hates my guts the way he stared me down in the Interview Room. And somehow, I still end up with the job?And then, Argo Smith, one of the senior consultants on the team takes it upon himself to introduce me to his only son, who turns out to be the manager, and then Remo tells me that Smith ‘runs half the company’?I know for a fact that he’s no partner in this company; Gerrard’s not the kind of person to share even a fragment of his success with someone else who didn’t even contribute to it. Then how could Smith run half this company?My mind drifts back&nbs

It's been twenty minutes by the clock, and Bru still isn't back. It's making me wonder if all's well with her and Keith; he's a tough nut, I know that best.Sighing, I decide to make my way to the kitchen. If what I'm guessing is right, and they both are having an argument or something, then she's really going to need the coffee I'm going to brew just now. I make my way out of my conference room and to the kitchen, but I see something in one of the rooms down the corridor which makes me stop dead in my tracks.That rascal.Ruben's just entered one of my offices, and guess who he's brought in tow with him?The novice.My jaw ticks.As I watch them without their knowledge, I see Ruben's lips moving. My eyes shift to Gard, and I notice she looks uncomfortable. Ruben laughs suddenly, and I wonder what it was that he laughed at, because the next thing I know is that Gard takes a step back. I wish I could see her face and not

It's been a rollercoaster at work today. I'm exhausted, to say the least- but most of all, I'm starving. The first thing I do as soon as I get back to my apartment is make myself some hot cocoa. While it's simmering away in the pot, I run down to the washroom and let loose. I'm sweaty, my work clothes are damp with my sweat, so I freshen up and change into my night-suit. By the time I walk back into the kitchen, my cocoa is about to burn. "Shit," I curse under my breath, heaving the pot off the stove with a dishcloth and pouring it into a mug. There's this slight note of smoky cocoa in the vapours that fly over the mug, but it's going to have to do. Sighing, I take my hot cocoa and head to the tiny living room. It's a one bedroom flat that I live in, and to be honest, it's kind of cramped, but then it's the closest one I could get to Southerford Inc., so I'm not complaining. I plop down on the couch and switch on the T.V. I almo

I just can't believe this bullshit.  I can't-- fire Gard. The fucking acceptance says we've signed a fucking one year contract with her. If I still want to terminate the employment, I'm going to need a resolution to be passed by the Board. And I have honestly no idea what the fuck I'm going to tell them when they ask me why I want her gone. The absolute, absolute fuck? I'm honestly just holding my head in my hands at this point, because for some weird ass reason, Bru insists that I rescue Gard from the clutches of Ruben. She's been hounding me about this ever since she saw them in that room yesterday.  But obviously, Bru being Bru, doesn't think this is about saving Gard at all. Why? Because just now, before she went to get Gard from the law department, she told me, "Priscilla was appointed to the position of the final law consultant on your team, Gerrard, not to look after everyday cases. We alre

“On whose team, Gard?”I knew it that this man hated me, but I never knew he’d literally throw it in my face. I get that he doesn’t want me to work for his company. I get that. But if I’m really that unbearable, or— undeserving, then just kick me out, damn it. Don’t just insult me like that. I’m staring at his back, unable to believe the words that just came out of his mouth. Never has anyone ever spat out my last name at me. As if it’s an insult, for god’s sake. You know what, man? I don’t care about you and your shitty company if this is how you’re going to treat me.”On yours, Southerford,” I reply, defiantly staring at the back of his head. I can see his body tense when he hears me, and I brace myself for the worst. Which is me losing this job. But you know what

I thought I disliked Gard. I was wrong. I hate her. Hate. Ever since that meeting in the morning, I've been unable to get that scene out of my head. To get her words out of my head.  'I think it's stupid'. "Fuck," I hiss at myself, slamming the shower door shut. I switch on the shower, water at its hottest, because I'd rather feel my skin burn than keep thinking about that girl. A blast of scalding hot water hits me suddenly, and I hiss under my breath at its intensity. But I still can't believe the way Gard insulted me today. If not for Bru, who held me back just in time, god knows what I might've done. It's already so difficult for me to stand that novice in my company everyday, and then she goes ahead and insults me to my face-- in front of all my team.  The fuck? I growl at absolutely nothing and grab some shower gel.  I honestly do
