Edward had been in the office all day avoiding heading home just yet. He has been watching the video of Kelly at the Salon and that of her being thrown out of the William empire with so much fur. He was looking for ways to win back the love of Cassandra for both of them, but he had not expected her to embarrass herself in such a way. His IG account was stormed with thousands of questions. Everyone was willing to know if he wanted her to still be an item or if they were separated. Edward was so much in thought that he had not heard his phone ring the first time. While it rang again, he glanced over and saw the ID of his boss. “Hello Mr Carlvin'' Edward greeted somely. It's been barely a day since he took over and the workload was not what he had expected. “Why are you not saying anything?” Mr Carlvin questioned. “About?'' Edward asked not sure if he was aware of what his boss was referring to. “Why are you silent and haven't cleared the air on the issue of your relationship with tha
Kelly watched the lips of Edward move countless times but she still could not make out what he was talking about. It felt like she blacked out, she just watched. This was more of a dream than it felt to be real. This man was who she had sacrificed all for his sake, a man she had given up a promising best friend for, a man she laid her life on the line on countless occasions for and here he was saying, she was a woman of no added value. Kelly watched him talk like she was watching from outside her one body. “Is it that bad?” she did not know what else to ask. She did not know how to put how she felt within lines of understanding and words of sense. Everything was just jogging up in her mind, so distant yet so chaotic to understand. “Kelly.. I know I am not right here, but neither are you. Why did you have to push me to the wall? why did you have to make me cut you out of my life? It should never have gotten this far if only you had kept your mouth shut and not caused a ruckus with C
The day was still young and naive, Cassandra slept for so long, that she couldn't remember the last time she had such a good night's sleep ever since her second chance miracle. While everyone was up and about, she was let to stay in bed to get even more strength for the days ahead. “Good morning My lady” Tessa greeted cheerfully, as she exited the bathroom with some clothes in hand. “Good morning to you Tessa, where is Carl?” Cassandra asks climbing down the bed. “Huh” Tessa asked, not sure of who her mistress was asking after. “Your boss?'' Cassandra repeatedly puzzled. “Oh.. well he is with your mother and Brandon, they are in his home office” Cassandra could only sigh, never having met someone as naive yet so troublesome as Tessa. A woman of physical strength with the mouth of a squirrel. Always talking and chirping like a morning bird.“ My lady, why do you call boss Carl? The last person I heard called him who ended up missing for years and no one had heard or seen her '' That
Every guard and servant was up and about with their daily chores. Brandon and the others were more busy than usual. “Make sure everything is put in the car, I don't want Mrs. Laura leaving any of her important belongings behind,” Brandon tells the others. Laura was leaving, her treatment was on the line and she had to return quickly. They had to wake up extra early as her flight was scheduled for the early hours of dawn. Cassandra had too much to do, while she was on the phone with the nurses over at the hospital, she was still not happy with Laura’s refusal to take a personal nurse to assist her with everything. “I know the baby, but I can take care of myself. It is not a new sickness and I know better '' Laura turned to Cassandra who held on to the phone sadly. She did not want her to leave, but deep down both of them understood she had to go. “I promise to take care of myself if that would keep your mind at ease, '' Laura promised. Cassandra could only smile and hug her bonus mot
Edward has not been himself ever since he walked out on Kelly. He was doing within his limits to make sure she was okay, but deep down he knew she deserved better. “Boss.. boss?” Mary called out but still got no reply. She stood for a few seconds but Edward was not paying any signs of being with her as he spun the pen in his hands in the same clockwise direction repeating like someone in deep thoughts. “Sir!” Mary called out again this time, gently hinting at his hands. “Yes.. ehm. Yes Mary, what do you want?” he asked, snapping out of his thoughts. “You have a meeting with the Carlon empire at the request of the project we submitted last month.” Edward stared at his secretary with a blank expression as if she was some alien talking in a language he did not understand. It's barely been a week since he took over the company and here he was still to go through every file of ongoing projects. “Did you say Carlson empire?” Edward asked to be sure. “Yes sir” Mary replied, not sure why he
When the sun came out, Edward rolled down from the couch. “Ouch,” he cried out as his body came in contact with the hard floor. “How did I get home?” he asked no one. Looking around, he could see the mess he created. There were clothes in every corner, staring down at his naked body he sighs as he commences picking everything up. It is very unusual for him to be so drunk. He picks up his jacket from the floor, taking out the ringing phone from it. “What is wrong Mary?” he asked, not waiting for Mary to state her purpose for calling. “Sir, the contract rejection form was sent in this morning and Carlson Empire is canceling every project we have with them” Mary cries over the phone. Not only was Carlson Empire their greatest supplier, but losing such connection only meant the days of the company were fast becoming history. “What do you mean by other projects? Isn't it just one?” Edward asked, irritated. The incident of yesterday was still fresh in his head and how he was not able to
Kelly has not been herself ever since she left Edward, not only had he become a crucial part of her life but now starting all over without him was something she was finding difficult to do. She watched her environment. It was neat, but that was all she could do. She had done nothing but clean, she dared not show her face outside and checked her account every second of the day. There was not much money left and food was fast running out. “How I wish I could turn back the hands of time and I won't choose Edward,” Kelly laments. It was too bad this lifetime was for her to suffer the karma she had created. 6 years they had suffered her, 6 years and that had made her the fool, she had toyed with her feelings while sleeping her man right under her nose. She not only helped her mother, but she made sure she had a good job, she bought a house for her mother. There was nothing she ever lacked and now it was time to pay, it was time to pay Cassandra for all the stress they put her through, it
Edward sits in his office unsure of his next move to take. The contract has been resubmitted and with the mass total of 50, only 20 were taken. Half bread is better than none and this was only the beginning. “Mr. Edward, you have a meeting with the shareholders by midday and a store at the sight of Chanbouri at 2 pm” Mary announced before walking away. Edward only nodded, so much was going through his mind. He did not like the silence from the end of Mr Tarlor Carlvin. He was his boss and the business was his, he felt uncomfortable because everyone had spoken to him about how he almost crumbled the company but the owner was yet to make a statement. “What should I do?'' Edward asked glancing over at his phone” he did not want to do anything drastic but so much was happening from behind the scenes that he feared it was going to cause him so much more than he bargained for. Edward was quick to place a call through.“About time you called baby bunch, I've missed you” the sweet voice of
