Chapter: CHAPTER 50Cring! Cring! Cring!Naomi's phone kept voicing like it was calling its owner by the name to pick it up.“Who's bugging me at this time of the day?!” she shrugged, sluggishly sending her arm to reach the crying gadget beside her where she was relaxing after a tedious annoying floor scrubbing session she never was prepared for.When she brought it to her face, her face fell. She slid the green indicator up and the call connected.“Hello..” silence stretched.“Nao–mi. I have caused you enough and I am not even asking you to forgive…”“Can you catch this crab, Mrs. Laurent?” Naomi cut in. Sharp. Cold and edgy. She buried her forehead into her palms and let out a heavy, lifeless sigh that came forth without a sound.“What do you want from me this time?” she pauses, expecting no answer and continued “Money? I've got none. All thanks to your selfish desire. I have been promoted to the position of a cleaner in the DV House and not just a cleaner, a regular cleaner who washes toilets too. I

Chapter: CHAPTER 48The past week and previous months were a hell of a sort for Damian; he really could not explain why he couldn't turn in Naomi to Ethan, who was also there, present in the event centre.His heart ached for days, and questions kept burning in his gut. Squeak!His office door was pushed open without a prior sign. His eyes and head converged to his door anticipating the face behind the shadow that greeted the floor, standing tall through the now Ajar door.“Natasha..” he breathed with a shaky voice.“Hi, D’ head.” She shot a smile, waving her left palm and the other fixed to her waist, standing akimbo, shooting her hips to one side.“I don't know what to do with you spoiled brat.” Damian shot a mean glare at Natasha’s carefree attitude of pestering and bugging him.“I am not in my seat. Check back, Natasha, check back.” He reeled aggressively.“Chill, boy, chill. You know I have all the cards now.” Her eyes went half-shut, and she suckled on her finger, dripping it with the transparent l

Chapter: CHAPTER 47“You're not so smart. Anyway, I heard about your predicament.”It's been five days since the encounter that froze the blood in her veins, yet that sonorous voice keeps playing like a broken record in her head, on repeat. A lot of questions screamed hard in her head. But she couldn't find answers.Work became a little interesting since she settled in and accepted fate as a junior staff. At least, she won't be the log of wood in Natasha’s journey to the top as she pushed for.“How did that bastard do it?” She kept questioning herself silently, almost tearing up. Unfortunately, Natasha knew her onions, regardless of how greedy, selfish, and rude she may be, her works did spark conversations around the city. Shorty Blacks' music video album sparked interest because of the madness in fashion creativity Natasha had delivered with the team.“hmm.. this would have been me.” she hovered over the flying articles about Natasha that kept following her on every social media platform. Her blood

Chapter: CHAPTER 46Naomi's blood stopped! Her heart jumped into her mouth, throbbing with an adrenaline rush. The whole room felt heavy for a split second.“Who's that?” Ethan whispered to Natasha’s ears.“Why is she hiding her face?” Natasha sparked in curiosity, flickering her eyes around Naomi who had covered her face in shame.Naomi made quick steps with a reduced height, heading to the exit door. “WE APOLOGISE FOR THE UNFORESEEN DISTRACTION, DO RELAX AS EVERYTHING IS UNDER CONTROL NOW”The Master of Ceremony called back the attention of the crowd to the spot she was standing, facing them.Naomi moved quicker, hoping for the ground to open and bury her from the shame she just encountered, hoping to fly her way to her room where she could absorb what just happened until she bumped into a huge figure.“Naomi Laurent?” The figure called out in a calm and ruthless tone; his right palm was comfortably tucked in his pocket, and his left palm flew way up to his head level, tugging its hair backwards.Naom

Her eyes were swollen from crying herself to bed the previous night. Naomi had gotten dressed, and ready for the move, regardless of how she was feeling.The only thing that sprang a laugh on her face was the moment she realised the last district bus was about to leave.She ran to meet up, only to meet an old woman in her late 70s cursing the driver and calling him names until she mentioned, “This is how you rush in and rush out. Two seconds man.” Naomi’s face reddened in laughter; she let free of it from her lips, which had been pressed into a thin line; her pumped cheeks could have blown up if she had held the laughter a second more.“What are you laughing at, you Gen. Z baddie? Me? Oh common, I know these things.” she let a cheerful grin on her lips, which graduated to a laugh, exposing her scanty dentition of about twenty
