Mabel, Vera and Angela took their seats close to Lena as they placed their hands on hers.

“ Thank Goodness it isn't serious, it would have made things worse”

“ I just pray she wakes up and forget everything about the France incident” Mabel sighed.

“ Me too, she has had enough already” Vera pat Lena's hand. While Angela fumbled with her phone smiling.

“ Why the smiles?” Vera peeped and Angela quickly moved backwards

“ You don't need to hide it, it's a sneaky link right!”

“ My boyfriend!” Angela snapped, “ don't call him that!”

“ Wow, you are in Love? I would have thought it was a joke if I didn't see you like this!” Vera mocked and Mabel burst into laughter.

“ Ummm” Lena groaned and they all turned to her.

“ Are you okay now? How do you feel!” Mabel assisted her up.

“ I'm a little bit better, the treatment helped. Thanks for bringing me here!”

“ It's what we are supposed to do,”

Beep…..beep ….Mabel's phone rang, she brought it out from her pocket, ended it and placed it back.

Just then the private door of the Competition hall opened and several board of directors walked in, including Senior Mr Huxley as he followed from the back waving everyone. Surprised, everyone stood up out of respect till the board of directors and Senior Mr Huxley took their seats at the high table. Hugs and handshakes were exchanged.Lena searched for the right spot to sit with her eyes until finally she found one that gives a perfect angle of everything, and she sat down.At the main stage several cars were covered with black waterproof car cover, with only numbers placed on it.

Not now, not ever and not to Someone like Jayden. After working for hours the workers got tired and took a nap but Jayden and Mateo continued. Working nonstop.Mateo kept dragging materials, the ones he needed and the ones he didn't need all because he needed to get ahead of Jayden.Jayden noticed this, smirked and went back to work. He caught Mateo severally, stealing glances at him but he acted as if he wasn't aware.At a point Mateo tiptoed to Jayden’s work station to check what he was doing but Jayden acted like he didn't notice, and focused on his work.At about 4am in the morning, Mateo was out of strength, he couldn't stand nor place the car compartments on the car. He slightly took a step back and sat d

    Vanessa shrugged and then raised an eyebrow,“ That's what I was told to tell you all!” she added.“ Why didn’t he just call me instead and say it over the phone? Why did he have to send you over here from Greenville?” Jayden asked, not convinced as he narrowed his eyes.“ It’s obvious you or Mateo won't agree and try to postpone the date” Vanessa replied.Jayden stared at her for a while and then at the file in front of him, he pulled out his phone and typed in, ready to make a call. For the first few minutes the phone call rang and no one answered. He narrowed his eyes again and placed another call.“ This is Luke, from Mr Huxley’s office.” Luke replied immediately.“ Luke, where is my Dad?” Jayden asked.“ Senior Mr Huxley isn't around, he left for a meeting and left his phone behind.” he replied before Jayden could talk about the missed calls.“ Are you sure he's at a meeting or he just made you say that, because he doesn't want to talk to me!” Jayden asked.Luke cleared his throa

  • AFTER THE FALL   A Message from Huxley

    “ A company Slut!” Another added using a voice note. The word echoed in Lena's ear as she closed her eyes to dilute the embarrassment but still she couldn’t process it. Lena sat there speechless as she stared at the chats on her phone, to her all these had ended in Greenville. The commotion with Jayden and the abuse she got from co-workers. Who would have thought she would still get chased and monitored here in Mexico. She wiped a tear off her face and sniffled hard, well there is no use crying. It has always been like this, and she has gotten used to it already, always being talked about everywhere she goes, including in the company.But still why does it hurt? Even when she has gotten used to it? She asked herself and then sniffled hard again. it isn't new anymore! Lena encouraged herself and cleared up the tears falling down her cheeks.Isn't this too much? She wondered for a while, recalling all they just said. Well it’s best to let it go, afterall it's a rumor. she told herself

    Sebastian cleared his eyes with his hands and then turned to his Dad. “ Are you still staring at me? Won't you check?” Uncle Ben yelled at him and then took a step backwards.“ How can you act like that Dad?” Sebastian argued. “I'm your son and you just stepped backwards because I pushed someone?”“ Because you pushed someone?” Uncle Ben chuckled. “Sebastian I think you still haven't realized what you just did,” he took another step backwards.Sebastian swallowed hard, ran his hand through his hair as he bit on his lower lip till he could taste blood on his lips. Slowly he took slow steps and walked over to Gwen lying on the ground with her face facing the ground, he pulled her hand up, released it but it fell down on its own.Sebastian almost screamed as he placed his hand on his mouth and then slowly turned to his Dad. Who gestured for him to check her breath. Sebastian gathered courage and took another slow step closer, he placed his hand on her nose and a tiny hot breath hit his

  • AFTER THE FALL   A Costly Rage

    Sebastian turned his gaze back to his Dad, But Uncle Ben slowly patted his hand under the table, forced a smile on his face and urged Sebastian to keep calm and then turned to his brother. “ I can tell you said that because of the rules and truly what you said is valid, it's best we don't get the board of directors involved or make them talk like they always do!” Uncle Ben reduced the tension with a forced smile on his face and his words.Senior Mr Huxley smiled and slowly nodded, while Mrs Rachel continued her meal, eating slowly as she savored each bite. Uncle Ben noticed this and rolled his eyes and then forced a smile again.“ Waiter!” senior Mr Huxley called out to the waiter waiting outside the door. “ Get me the popular French wine that was imported days ago!” He pulled out his phone and showed him a photo.“ Oh, okay sir, I’ll be right back!” The waiter smiled and walked out of the room.“ A French wine?” Uncle Ben asked, curiously.“ Yes, I was here a few days ago with an in
