“do you think it’s possible to dream about someone long before you ever met the person" Todd asked Carl as they both sat relaxing in Todd’s living room, Saturday evening “well, I guess you must have met the person without knowing or perhaps you saw the face in passing other than that I can’t say man, I mean I don’t think it’s possible" Carl said casually but one look at Todd’s serious expression and sat up quickly “did that happen to you man, I mean did you meet someone you like, because if you did that would be a great news, I mean it’s been what, like 2years now and you haven’t even look at any lady twice, now you’ve pique my interest, where did you meet her, where can I find her" Todd had to raise his hand to stop him from ranting “Dude, I only asked you a question, where did you get all these ideas from” “am not buying this crap, I know somethings up, are you going to tell me or not" Carl said not backing down, Todd heaved a sigh and smack his head with his right hand palm “why d
Carl could see the pain in his friend’s eyes and he tried to console him and take his mind of that topic “you know, one day, your wishes are going to come through but will revenge or hurting the person who did this lessen your pain, fir the sake of your daughter move on" there was a long pause before Carl said “now, how about you tell me all about that woman of your dreams" “oh, come on, is that what we’re calling her now, her name is Amber and she is my PA.Monday morning.At 9:00am Carl strolled into Jen’s office and asked without any pre-amble “Jen, who is Amber" Jen paused from surprise at first but said “boss's PA” “yes I know, I mean, where is she, I’ll like to meet her" he said sounding impatient, “follow me” Jen said as she led him straight to Amber’s office, Amber was arranging the shelve placed at one side of her office when the door opened, she squirmed and all the paper in her hands fell to the floor, she apologised and was bending to pack up the paper but Carl shouted “St
When Todd was sober, he asked Carl “see what you’ve caused, this is my office Carl, why would you bring a gossip topic to my office" “I couldn’t resist the temptation, I had to see for myself" Carl said shrugging his shoulder, “well, thanks now leave" Todd said and Carl opened his mouth in shock, he didn’t expect his friend to send him out of his office over this issue but Todd looked serious like a business man heading to seal a deal, Carl shook his head and said “I need to get to work anyway, I’ll deal with you later" he walked out of the office and Todd called Amber to come in, when she got in, he ask her to seat, she sat in the chair Carl had just vacated. Todd raised his brow slightly to show Amber how serious he his with what he was about to say. Todd raised his brow slightly making him look more serious than he does usually just to show Amber how serious he was with what he was about to say “everything Carl, that’s the man you saw in my office, now whatever he might have said,
Amber got home the next day and met Ann standing by her door way, “hello sis” Amber knew something was up, the moment she saw Ann “what is it this time" Amber asked without any preamble “won’t you even let me in first" Ann asked faking offence “why should I let you in, so you could sell all the little things I own for money” Ann looked down as if she was feeling remorseful “I deserve that but please just let me in, it’s a matter of life and death" Amber hesitated for a while but finally opened the door, once inside Amber said “now, what’s with the matter of life and death” Ann started to talk but was stammering “it it OK let me explain, it it" “it what" Amber asked feeling strange, she had a feeling whatever Ann wanted to say would be a game changer “I kind off went gambling again, before you lecture me, I know I mess up and am sorry but I owe someone two thousand dollar and it so happened that person is Jack Ray" Ann said and looked up to see Amber’s reaction, Amber’s eyes widen as s
Friday evening Todd went home early, he has been feeling kind off guilty lately for entertaining any form of likeness to any lady, he decide to visit Sarah’s tomb to tell her all that was in his heart, but he didn’t want to go alone so he went home to pick up Carrie, he knows that no matter how good Donna was with Carrie, one day she will need a motherly love and that day was coming soon. He got Donna to dress Carrie in a warm fluffy coat cause the weather was a bit chilly outside, then he strap her in her car seat and ensure she was secured before entering the driver’s seat and driving off.“Hi honey, it’s been a while since I came here last, Carrie say hi to mummy" he said to Carrie “Hi to mummy” the little girl responded and Todd smiled at her response then he continued “you see how big she is now, and she looks just like you, she has you big brown eye and curly hair and she is a foodie just like you” he paused a little and smiled a he recall how Sarah was with food especially when
Monday morning, Petra came for the meeting, where they discussed the progress of work, after the meeting she was on her way to Todd’s office when she passed by the admin office and overheard them talking about Carl checking out Amber and saying stuffs like Todd liking Amber, she paused and thought for a while, could the clumsy Amber really catch the attention of a man she has been trying so hard to catch for years, she made up her mind to be extra mean to Amber, she was wearing a black jumpsuit with bold make up that makes her stand out as usual, she walked into Todd’s office without knocking “Hi, Mr Anderson” she was saying but Todd raised one 9f his eyes, looked at her and said “you didn’t knock" “oh sorry I kind off forgot” she said and was about sitting down when Todd said “you can kind off get back out and knock" she was shocked, Todd had not spoken to her in that tone before, could he still be mad at her for treating Amber like she did the last time, perhaps what she heard was t
She was in her office going through a file Todd had told her to make corrections on when the land line rang, it was the boss, she picked “come into my office now" he sounded pissed, she ran into his office, knocked lightly and stepped in when he said “come in “she walked in lightly afraid of making him more angry “what’s this” Todd said dropping the document she had brought in earlier on the table “I can’t make head or tails of this, it’s all scattered, is this how you assist me" Todd asked an already scared Amber, he looked up at her and saw how terrified she was so he lower his voice and spoke more calmly “go rearrange those" he said and dismissed her, Amber’s voice was barely audible as she said “okay boss” she walked back to her office blaming herself for not checking again to be sure it was well arranged. Amber gave back the file to Todd when she was done rearranging it, she didn’t think much about what had happened earlier with Burke saying Jen was asking about her and Jen not b
Amber lingered I’m front of Todd’s office, not sure if she should go in or not, he seems nice at times but she was scared he may think she is an opportunist for asking for this, she has no choice though so she knocked on the door lightly hoping he wouldn’t hear, she was about turning back when she heard “come in" she walked into his office slowly, each step she took felt heavier than the previous until she was standing right in front of him looking blankly at the wall behind him, Todd turned back to see what was so fascinating behind him, he saw nothing there so he turned back to her “yes, Amber what is it" she wanted to reply, she wanted to ask for help but her tongue was acting of its own accord, it was like her tongue was glued to the roof of her mouth “can you speak, I have things to sort through, I don’t have all day" Todd said impatiently “am sorry to disturb you but I don’t know what else to do, can I get a loan from the company, please, am willing to sign any legal document st
