    “ Oh my!” Lena quickly bent down to pick it up but before she could reach it, someone kicked it aside with his foot. Quickly Lena followed it with her eyes and made to pick it up again but another foot kicked it aside again.“ Isn't that a pantie?” One of the workers chuckled.“ What were you doing with pantie Miss Lena, when you were asked to go get a file, don't tell me you….” He trailed off and everyone gasped.Another picked it up with his index finger and Lena quickly rushed to take it from him but he spun his arm in the other direction.“ It's a pant, I said it! I knew what I saw!” Mr Noah exclaimed, glanced at Lena and stared at her with so much disdain, “ what did you use that for? And why do you have it with you?” He asked.“ A red pantie at that, everyone knows that's for seduction.” Another worker at the side spat.Lena was speechless, she didn't know what to say and how to say it!

  • AFTER THE FALL   Race Against Time

    Sitting on the passenger seat in a cab, Lena held the file close to her face as she flipped through it. Trying to make sense of what it was all about, She had just replied to Mateo's text minutes ago when suddenly his call came in, she ignored the first ring, second ring till it got really persistent.“ Hello!” Lena picked up the call, sighed and placed the file aside.“ Where are you?” Mateo demanded.“ Somewhere! I just replied to your text a few minutes ago that I’m busy.” Lena snapped.“ I know, But Busy with the file thing Jayden sent you?” he insisted.“ Yes, didn't Mr Noah tell you about it? Well I guess he did that’s why you just asked.”“ Yeah he did, but are you really going to take it seriously? I bet you know how Jayden is!”“ How Jayden is? How…” Lena couldn't complete her statement when suddenly the cab came into a loud break which threw Lena off balance, her phone fell from her hand and she quickly held on to the seatbelt before she frowned up at the driver. “ What was

    Sebastian burst into laughter as soon as he ended the call with Mateo, “ I knew he would come back to me like who wouldn't?” He threw his hands up before pouring from a bottle of whiskey into his cup and gulped it down. “ Hmmm!” He sighed satisfied and leaned back on the chair. “ Mr Sebastian you have a visitor!” The house help rushed into Sebastian's outdoor bar breathing heavily.“ Who?” Sebastian turned to her direction.“ I don't know her and she hasn't been here before so I couldn’t let her in.“ Didn't she say her name or something?”Sebastian frowned.“ Ehmm, she said her name was Ehmmm Sop…spoh…“ You mean Sophia?” Sebastian Interject.“ Yeah, yes Sophia! She said you know her and that…“ Let her in” he gestured to the house help with a nod of his head and she nodded and left. Sebastian stood up from his seat and smirked, he took steps to the nearby couch and sat down spreading his legs.“ You can go in!” Sebastian heard the house help said to Sophia from the door.“ I told y

    “ I told you right? I guess you have seen what I told you about Jayden, like I said before when I tried to convince you Jayden would do anything to win this competition and get what he wants!” Sebastian had told Mateo on the phone days back. “ I know you won't believe me and you would think I'm trying to ruin things for Jayden but….”“ I understand,” Mateo had interrupted, “ it showed when I was given the New Active CEO I was told to go meet Jayden and have a chat with him and I tried to but guess what? He shunned me off like….”“ That shows he doesn't want to make peace and simply wants everything!” Sebastian paused, “ just pray he doesn't win your workers over to himself and make Mr Noah work for him. that would bring disaster and you would end up like me!” “ End up like you?” Mateo exclaimed, “How? I don't understand?”“ Listen up. years back, I and Jayden went through a competition just like this in Germany and guess what happened!” Sebastian asked.“ What happened, I'm not good
