The SecretI could not sleep all through the night. Everything that he had said to me pricked at my heart and let loose some blood. I wasn't sure when my insides would become all bloated with blood to the point of everyone seeing that I was suffering from inside.I got up earlier than usual by 4 am. Went to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee for myself. Then when I remembered that Asher had been there the previous night, making himself a cup of coffee, sipping and telling me to kill my ambition without feeling anything. So I made myself tea instead and roasted some bread. Sat down at the dining table and tried to eat. I ended up munching just half a loaf of bread. Then I went straight to the tub and soaked myself in there until it was time for me to get ready for work.Or ready to embarrass myself.***It was 10:25 am when Nellissa came to my corner again. This time, she had a smile on her face. I wondered why she didn't give me one of those her dirty looks."How is your day going,

Ultimatum The good thing was I didn't live with Asher, so I didn't arrive to a tensed home. I fell on my bed and got some sleep even before I realized that I hadn't freshened up. A call woke me up an hour later. I looked at the caller ID and saw that it was my mom. "Hello, mom," I said into the phone in a sleepy voice. She noticed. "Sorry, did I wake you up?" "Yeah, mom. But that's fine. I slept off.""Oh, was anxious to know how your day went. You know you told me all about the assessment and that it was today."I smiled. Well, she didn't forget about that. "Yes, mom. I did. And I got the contract.""That's amazing.""Yeah, and my boss also gave me what you could call a promotion."Elaina Monro gasped. "Oh, my god! That calls for a celebration. What are the both of you planning?" "The both of us?" I asked, not getting what she meant. "You and Asher, of course."I sighed. "No, mom. We haven't planned anything yet.""Oh. Why not?" I shrugged, even though she couldn't see. "We

Hiccups"Sir... I... I.. don't think I can do this," I said, stuttering at the beginning of my statement.Asher and I already had one problem to settle. I didn't want to add another to the mix."Are you saying that you cannot accept a promotion from your boss?" Henry asked, and his brows were raised in a manner that told me he wasn't going to accept my plea. Well, that sounded like something I wasn't supposed to refuse. Who in his or her right mind would refuse a promotion from the boss?Clearly, no one.I couldn't even say anything to that. "I thought as much," he told me. "I wouldn't think that a pretty lady like you would refuse an offer like this."This made me blush. It's been quite some time since a man had given me a compliment about my looks. "I need you to start looking into that file the moment you get back to your office."I nodded my head. "And who do I report to, sir?" "Directly to me," he said. "And don't use the company's official email. Don't take it to my secretar

pplaudWell, I wasn't expecting the amount of applause that followed my presentation. I had already set my expectations straight and very low.No one wanted to give a lady her flowers, especially in a firm like Vance Innovations Company.Henry Vance, the man behind the brains of the company, the CEO, was the first to applaud. He was shaking his head as if he had never heard that sort of strategy before.He was even the first person to speak when the ovation died down, and I felt my heart almost melt like ice cream."Well, I have to say this, Naomi," he said, in his usual alloof manner. "You really do know how to move the market. And I am impressed.""Thank you, sir," I said, as politely as I could. Though, I could not stop the smile that came to my face. Being complimented by the Chief Executive Officer of Vance Innovations was no small feat at all. In fact, he hardly ever clapped for anyone. "We are going to follow with that immediately. Are there any objections?" Henry asked, but
