Hazel"Congratulation on your promotion boss" Nikki, the new intern said throwing her arms around me."Thank you Nikki" I patted her back. She pulled apart but still holding my wrist. "This calls for a celebration Ma'am""Congratulation Hazel" Our chief send her warm smile. "Thank you Mrs. Rachel" Another set of clapping follows. To say I was expecting all the warm gesture will be an understatement."You have to take us out for dinner" She said. I wish I would be able to. But I've already made plans with my girls."I will. But that will be another day. I have plans for today" I said forming my lips into a thin line."You have plan with the man?" She asked jokingly. She knew I have no man yet, she's teasing me."No. With friends" I replied. And I'm not ashamed of saying that. I prefer to keep my personal life separate from my career."All the best then" I trekked my way towards my desk. Everything was neatly rested on their position. The company brochure, the sticky notes I keep tabs w
Hazel"What is it about?" He said after he's done giving me that weird look of his. "I will talk only when you're ready to listen" I asserted taking my seat on the visitor's seat. My back was facing him. "Why do you like meddling in matters that doesn't concern you Miss Dalen?"Meddling in matters that doesn't concern me? Just because I'm trying to help his company. I swirled the seat over. The way I will be facing him putting on a smiley face. "Let's say I'm born with that. It's in my blood to meddle in matters that doesn't concern me. But then, I want you to know this. Any matter I meddle in this company, I'm doing it for the sake of my job. Because that's what I'm getting paid for" His chuckle followed immediately clapping his hands on the accord. "Wow Miss Dalen, I'm impressed by your weird-like personality. I must say my father did got a righteous employee this time around" I didn't miss the glint in his eyes. "I'm glad you are. So can we start?" I somehow want to finish what
HazelThe moment I stepped out of the taxi, I know I will be doomed. The girls will have a discussion for the night. My brow creased when I found the place quite and the sign was showing closed. “Am I at the correct place?” I said to no one in particular checking my phone. It is the correct address but why is the place locked. I dailed Kylie’s number. “Hey, where are you guys. The restaurant is locked” Some part of me was scared. What if they got angry and left. Tired of waiting for me. “Did you open the door and find it locked?” Came through her question. “No. I didn't”“Then do so” She said much like commanded. I marched my way forward my heels making the sound they were supposed to. I don't even know why I wore the heels. I should've worn something light. Just the way I went for a simple denim jeans and top topping it up with jacket. I was surprised when I pushed the door and it went on like a bolt. Not that I put in too much force on it. The lights were off. I just hope the gi
HazelThe very first thing that woke me up in the morning was the loud beats of my phone. That's a sign to show how complicated my day will be. I had to put on my best state of calmness to talk to my father. That he should not worry. The money will be sent before the end of the day. And I also told them about my promotion. They all wish me well and of course more money. I heated the cake and ate it as breakfast. I was feeling too lazy to cook anything. And besides, I need to do grocery shopping. My refrigerator is almost as good as nothing. I embark on my way to work.I bumped into Mr. Kane in the elevator like yesterday. He flashed me one of his signature smile. "Good morning Miss Dalen" He profound with yet another smile. "Good morning Mr. Kane. Hope you had a great night" As the words left my lips, it sounded somehow. Like asking whether his night was great. He might think I mean it in a sexual way. Which isn't so in my case. Nevertheless, he answered me. "Yes I did. Hope it was
HazelI walked back to the office at exactly 10:45AM. An extra more minutes on the said time Damon said he'd be in office. I just hope he's In office. I turned the doorknob in testing and the door actually opens. I was greeted with a cool air that sent goosebumps down my skin. The inside was much quite than I anticipated. I first of all dropped my bag on my desk before proceeding to Damon’s office. He needs to know what he did was unreasonable. My foot came to a stop when I heard the sound. The familiar sound two people having sex. The moan. “Ah! Faster Damon” I heard the breathing voice of the female. “Ye-Arhh-” I quickly walk away seeing as my body has began building up something I don't know. Just by the mere moans. I switched on the desktop in front of me to start my work. Somehow I couldn't keep my mind at bay. I couldn't hear their moans from where I was sitting yet it got me imagining the things Damon is doing to the girl. After too much attempt at trying to focus, I dropped
HazelI found myself attacking my wardrobe with my fist. Damon didn't tell me a thing about the trip. He only said 'we're going on a business trip' as if that was the best thing for him to say. Thank God I have enough outfit to chose from. I went for simple and comfortable outfit. One that will make me look very professional. I pack outfit fewer than three not forgetting to pack my undergarment along. Damon said he'd come pick me up first thing tomorrow morning. He didn't specify time. He better not come as early as possible. Although I've made the necessary preparation but I wouldn't want to get into a state of rushing. I still have enough time before the sun goes down for the night. I used the time to binge watch a movie from Netflix. I subscribe to a monthly plan yet I hardly watch more than two movies per month. The subscription going to waste. I reheated the remaining cake and topped it up with a chilled drink. I engaged myself into what I was watching. The movie wasn't that b
Hazel"Drop me here sir" I lightly tap the car seat. The car came to a halt in front of the supermarket. The nearest one I wanted going is closed. I had to go another miles. I wonder why they'd close when the evening is still young. Well, Damon should know what he's getting himself into. "Let's go spend some cash hazel!" I cheered suantering to the entrance door. I started with the important things that are much needed. I bought ramen too. I've forgotten when last I tasted them. I know we're staying for only a day. But seeing how scanty the refrigerator is, it needed foodstuffs to revive it to life. I paid with Damon's card. I'm sure he wouldn't mind a small portion from his money getting spent away. He has more than that. Getting back home went extra hard. The car got a flat tyre and that in the middle of the road when we're nowhere to my destination. "How long will it take to fix the car?" I asked hitting my lips in nervousness. The hunger in me couldn't be explained. I spared my
DamonA frustrated hiss left my lips as I paced around my office. "Wait.. Don't tell me you couldn't do anything when she attacked you" Derek said. If only he could shut his mouth up. He knows how to blabber nonsense at the wrong time. Derek and I have been friends for as long as I could remember. The friendship started when we were in high school. When he was transferred from another school. We click almost immediately. Some people were saying I downgraded myself by befriending a poor guy. But I don't care about that. What drawn me to him was his intelligence. Forget you're smart. Derek will sell you off in a snap of finger. He has a sharp mouth but can be annoying. Nevertheless, he's still my best man. And knows how to solve my problems. Not all though. When his head begin touching he mess things up."What do you expect me to do? Slap her? You know I can't do that" I asserted. His laughter erupt in return. "What's funny? You're supposed to help matters not add more fuel to fire" H
