Charlotte shook hands with Tyler, and turned on her heels. She strode back to the stage, and drop the mic. She picked up her bag, and stride to the back of the stage to get change. She was done for the day and needed to go home. As she strides into the corner, she bashed into someone, but he was quick to hold her.
She lifted her head up, only to see Xavier. They both embark on a prolonged silent, staring at each other. He took a close look at her, and the memory of the lady he dragged into the room four years back, and took advantage of her crept into his head.There face looks similar, not just their voice. Even though he was drugged that night, he could still remember the lady's face and voice.He saw her face four years back, and he still recalled when she pleaded with him not to touch her."Let go of me, will you?" Charlotte asked, breaking the silent, and try to release herself from his grip.Xavier snap out of his thoughts, and quickly let go of her. "Watch your way next time, you could have fallen to the ground." He responded.For the past four years, after the incident, he has never once left his villa to go pay her a visit. He offered her a mansion as a compensation for what he did to her, and that's how it has been for all this year's, but no visit.Each time his assistant ask him to go see her, it is always in his schedule, but end up being cancelled at the end of the day. That's how it has been for the pass four years, and never for once, did he visited.He got perplexed, he has never seen her before, and suddenly, she's in the bar with him.'Does she think I will come pick her up' Xavier thought after seeing her in the bar, and thought she did it intentionally for him to take her back to the mansion.Xavier thought of who would have told her he is coming to the bar when his personal assistant isn't aware he was coming to the bar.He doesn't know the people that works for her in the villa. He only ordered his assistant to assign some maids to help her, but haven't seen them before. Xavier got astounded by her sudden appearance, and thought of what to do.He thought for the past four years she has lived in his mansion and enjoyed his wealth, she has never contacted him for once, and suddenly, she appeared in front of him."I will, please excuse me." Charlotte said, and scurried away from him. She recognized his face after seeing him for the third time. And his cologne is still the same for the past four years.Xavier walk back to where he left his cousin Tyler and found him wasted already."When did I just leave? And he is already drunk." Xavier muttered underneath his breath.He pulled some cash out from his pocket pants, settle the bills, and left the change on the table, before he picked up his cousin, and strode out of the bar.The guard saw Xavier carrying his cousin to the car, and hurried towards him to help hold him."Master, please let me carry him."The guard held Tyler while they all walked to the car, and he was placed inside the car.As soon as the guard hit the road, Xavier pulled out his phone from his pocket pants. He scanned through his contact and dialed his assistant number.Immediately the phone starts to ring, the figure picked up and quickly spoke up."Master, is there something I need to do?" He asked in an audible tone."Yes. Call the maids that work at the villa, tell them to inform their Ma'am I'm on my way to come see her." Xavier said, without waiting for his response, he hung up.'If she's up to something, I'm going to find out soon' Xavier thought inwardly.~Arya was live on her I*******m page, showing the house around to her followers and sipping some red wine, twirling the glass in her hand."A beautiful mansion for a beautiful lady like me. This is one of the most expensive wine, it tastes different from other wines ." She said, and drop the glass of wine on the table, showing off every corner of the living room."If you want to live a life like mine, you have to work your butt. Work very hard to get rich." She added, patting her hair to the left, with a smile on her face.Arya believes she got everything as a result of her hard work, not because she stole the wristwatch from Charlotte.She was busy with her live video, when a maid walked up to her and bowed her head in respect."Okay, I think I will have to end the live video now, my maid needs to do some work for me." Arya ended the live video, and turn to the maid."What is it this time? What do you want? I have warned you to stop coming whenever I'm live on I*******m." She asked with a scorn look on her face.The maid jolted back in fear. "I'm sorry to disturb, Mr jasper asked me to Inform you, the Master is on his way to see you." She dropped the bomb on her. Arya staggered to the back, almost loosing her stand, but the maid was quick to hold her."Take your filthy hands off me. I'm sure you're tired of keeping your job. Get lost before I hit you." Arya thundered."I'm sorry, it won't happen again." The maid apologies, and scampered off.Arya followed her with her gaze, until she was out of sight. She ruffled her hair, thinking of what to do. If he comes to the mansion and see her, her secret would be exposed.Year's back, Jasper was the one who brought her to the mansion, but she never saw Xavier because he never showed up, even when he requested to see her.She can't allow him find out she's been living someone's else life, enjoying all his money.She placed her hands on her waist, thinking of what to do, and finally an idea flash into her head, and she grinned confidently."I know what to do, I can't let her take what is rightfully mine. Charlotte has to remain poor, this is my life, she won't take it away from me. I will do anything to keep living here." Arya mumbled, shaking her head.She picked up the glass of wine, and hurried to her bedroom.Xavier arrived at Arya's villa a few minutes later, and led his way inside. As he strode into the house, he scrutinizes the place, taking in the environment. For the past four years, he hasn't been to the mansion, and he doesn't know what has been happening around. He only gives orders to his personal assistant, and that's all.He got to the entrance, and a maid was quick to open the door for him. He stepped inside, and met another maid who hurried to welcome him."Good evening Master." She greeted with her hands entangled close to her upper region, and her gaze cast to the ground.Being close to Xavier made her shiver in fear, and a sudden sweat arise between her thighs."Where is your Ms? Go and inform her I'm here to see her." He responded, and spun around to his right. He gave instructions already, there's no reason for her not to know he is around.The maid quickly marched to her room to inform Arya of his arrival. But when she got to her room, after knocking for a few minutes and
WEEKS LATERIt's Charlotte's first day at work. After multiple interview's with different companies in California, she finally got the position of a clerk at the Xi Group, and she couldn't wait to start work immediately.She has undergone a one-week assessment with the company to test her ability for the position she was going to be offered. After the tests, for a whole week, she succeeded, and was asked to resume office.As soon as she touched her lips with a red lipstick, she stood up, picked her bag up, and headed outside the house.Matilda and the girls already left the house for school, she was the only one left behind. She padlocked the door, and marched on her heels to hail a cab.Thirty-five minutes later, she was standing outside Xi Group, one of the biggest companies in the entire California.She marches her way inside, and stopped at the reception with a smiling face."Hello, Good morning." She greeted, the receptionist she met in the lobby.The receptionist lifted her head
After the incident from last time at the men's toilet, Charlotte hasn't bumped into Xavier. It's been three days, and the last day before the weekend. She thought maybe he was on a leave, or probably he was keeping a distance after what happened.Out of nowhere, someone stormed in front of her, making her mind skip. She looked up to see the manager, and cussed underneath her breath. This is her first week since she started working at the company, but she's already been harassed.What annoys Charlotte the most is the fact that she hasn't met the president to report him, potentially all the harassment would have stopped.Charlotte cast her gaze down, she breathe in and out, and lifted her head back up to look at him."We do respect sir, you should have sent for me, and not just storm in my presence like that." Charlotte breathed out.The manager buried his hands in his pocket, and took some calculated strides backwards."You shouldn't have been oblivious, always be conscious. I'm giving
Charlotte returned to her office broke hearted. This wasn't how she envisioned her stay in the company, working as a clerk. She thought if she had seen the president and reported to him, perhaps the president would have talked some senses into him, and the harassment would stop.But unbeknownst to her, Xavier was the president, and he had already prepared a termination of employment for the manager. Harassing employees and trying to make them cajole to your request is not authorized in the employee's manual.Charlotte sat quietly, thinking if she should let him have his way with her, or just resign. But just then, she thought of calling the one person that has been her backbone since she became pregnant.Charlotte quickly picked up her phone and dialed her best friend contact Alley.After multiple ring's, she didn't pick up, and just when she wanted to drop the call, Alley called her back."Hey, sorry about that, I left the phone In my bag." Alley apologized, and switched the call to s
Charlotte arrived at the hotel a bit late due to traffic, and she had to spend some time with her girls, before leaving the house. While she was at home getting dressed up, she received a notification from the manager with the room number.She took the stairs, and strode to the room, he was waiting up for her. She felt her stomach twisted, and it made her uncomfortable. Somehow, she was scared something might go wrong.Charlotte pushed the thought aside, and continued striding to the room number. As soon as she step her foot inside, and closed the door behind, she saw a dead body on the floor and quickly used her hands to cover her mouth to restrain herself from shouting.Before she could regain herself from the state of shock, the door barges open, which made her heart thump. It was like someone was already waiting for her to walk inside.Charlotte vigorously spun around to see the figure, and she came into view with a lady in her mid-thirties, but she doesn't recall seeing her.'Is s
Charlotte was taken back to the cell and locked up. After the mention of the incident from years back, she turned mute, and couldn't say a word. Xavier had to ask them to take her back.He waited for the DPO, who just received a call, and excused himself out of the office. He wasn't sure why he had to come bail her out, but somehow he thought that was the best he could do for her.He was still waiting, when he heard footsteps, and spun around to see the DPO."Mr Xi, thank you for your patience, the call was urgent." He apologized earnestly. Xavier doesn't wait for people."There's no problem. Regarding the lady, I want her released today. She can't stay in there."The DPO was a bit scared, he knows it would be hard to turn him down. "Mr Xi, you Know what you're asking me to do is against the law."Before Xavier could reply, a male cop strode into the office."Boss, the doctor, and the manager from the hotel are here." The cop announced."Right in time, Please let them inside, I was wai
Charlotte and Alley step down from the car. Alley pulled out a twenty box and handed it over to the cab driver.They both turn in the direction of the house. Charlotte was about to march on her heels, but Alley was quick to stop her."Best, you look so calm, you don't look like someone who Just got bailed from the station."Alley expected her to be nervous and disturbed over the incident, but Charlotte looked calm.Charlotte gazes at her toes. She spent the night crying, thinking of how she could convince the cops of her innocent, but thinking no one would believe her, she decided to not panic, the truth will eventually prevail."I'm ashamed of myself, people might think this is the type of life I live, when they find out, I have octuplets.""What are you talking about? No one will judge you. Things like this happen, it's not your fault you fell a victim. We just need to find who used your fingerprint." Alley responded, hoping she won't let the incident disturb her."Best, look at me,
It was Monday morning, Charlotte marched into the company with a tight-lipped smile on her face. The entire California knows what happened, and she's already a center of attention.Charlotte has been acting strong, that's the only way she thought she could overcome it until everything is over, and the murderer is caught.She step into the reception, and was greeted by the receptionist. Most eyes were glued to her, pointing fingers at her, but she turned a blind eye, and ignored their existence."Hey Charlotte, Good morning.""Hello, Good morning. How was your weekend?""It was fine. Please can you give this to the president, I was on my way to his office, but since you're here, don't know if you can help me do it."Charlotte placed her bag on her shoulders."Of course, let me do it." She stretched her hands to collect it. She felt it was an opportunity for her to see him, and appreciate him for what he did for her."Hey, I'm sorry about what happened, I never knew you passed through a
