Rachel smiled and whispered back, “I wonder what they are doing.” She giggled and said, referring to her workers.“Good,” Harris said and pulled her on his lap. “Let them. You are the boss and now they know you are taken by someone who would do anything for you.”Rachel laughed again, wrapping her arms around his shoulders. “Hubby, you can’t say that while I’m sitting on you.”He grinned. “Why not? This chair is soft, but you feel better.”“You’re such a bad man.” She said with a blush.“I know,” he said, brushing his lips against hers. “That’s why you married me.”Just then, Rachel’s office phone rang.She groaned and pulled away from him slightly. “Duty calls babe”. She said.Harris helped her stand as he gave her one last playful slap on the backside. “We will finish this later, Mrs. Davis.”“Hold on babe, I just need to answer this call. I’m done for the day”. She winked at him and said.“Ok wifey”. He replied and relaxed on the chair as he waited for her to be done.Rachel picked
“Oh my God! Magazines don't do justice to him. He’s even finer in person. That jawline alone could cause accidents.” A young lady said as she licked her lips in a seductive way.“And see that look on his face, like he doesn’t even know he’s the center of attention.” A young man pointed out, as he saw the irritated look of Harris.Even the men couldn’t help but admire his presence.“That guy moves like he owns the building. That confidence is not normal.” Another person said as he stared at Harris.And just then, Imelda stepped out of the elevator with a hurried step.She had hurried down after speaking with Rachel, still unsure of who to look for until her eyes landed on Harris.She froze mid step as she stared at him with shock written all over her face.“No it can’t be.” Her mind went blank for a moment as she stared at him still in shock.There was no mistaking it. She had seen his face in business magazines, and watched him speak in interviews online.And to top it up, she had me
She was about to reply when Olivia's message came in.“Jeez girl, you are a role model to your staff. See the way they are hailing you. Everybody is talking about how sharp your mouth was today.” Olivia typed.Rachel paused for a moment as she stared at the message. A small proud smile formed on her lips. She suddenly felt really interested and wanted to know what they said in the group, since she was not there.“You know what Livia, why don’t you send me a screenshot of the chat? She asked her.But Olivia refused and typed, “hello girl, why would you need a screenshot, when I’m here to tell you all”. “Oooops, I thought you would be busy”. Rachel typed back with a silly smile on her face.“You should note that even though I’m busy, I will always have time for you”. Olivia typed, making Rachel smile.She felt really happy to have a sweet and kind friend like Olivia.“Awnn, that was so sweet”. Rachel replied with a chuckle.“Enough of that”. Olivia joked as they both laughed in their
Rachel didn’t want to rush her food, so she ate slowly so that she could enjoy the food. After what seems like minutes, she was finally done eating.She threw away the disposable plates and drank a cup of water. After that, she walked to the couch and sat down to rest. Her body was still tired from all the walking around and talking she had done earlier.So she leaned back on the couch and closed her eyes for a few seconds, and let her mind relax. The office was very quiet, and the distant soft sound of the air conditioner made her feel even more at ease. After resting for a short while, she picked up her phone and sent a message to Imelda, telling her to come in.It wasn’t up to five minutes after sending the message when someone knocked on her door.“Yes, boss,” Imelda said immediately as she entered the office, holding the office tablet.“Let’s continue with the inspection. I have rested for a bit,” Rachel told her as she stood up from the couch.“Alright, ma,” Imelda replied an
Seeing their behavior, she smirked and turned to Imelda and said. “File a full report. I want this incident documented and passed to HR before lunch. And I want a personal meeting with the Chief Marketing Director first thing tomorrow morning.”“Yes, ma’am,” Imelda replied, already typing quickly on her tablet.Rachel gave Adrian one last look, then turned on her heel and walked out of the department. Her steps were firm with her walking posture looking very proud.In the meantime , Adrian stood frozen in place, humiliated, powerless, and exposed.The rest of the department who was present there would never forget what they just witnessed.As soon as Rachel left the department, the heavy silence that had taken over the room broke instantly.“Miss Rachel is such a confidence booster”. One of the colleagues said with a grin.They all agreed as they watched Adrian who was already feeling awkward. One of the staff let out a loud snort as he gave Adrian a disgusted look.Another burst in
Rachel sat in her office, as she quietly went through some files. Her table was neat with some piled up documents, and a cup of coffee which she sip every now or then.Unlike the drama that was unfolding elsewhere, Rachel was in her own world completely unaware of the game Harris had just played with Matthew. She had no idea that her name had been used as an excuse to leave the meeting or that Harris had gone to such lengths just to enrage Matthew..Right now it was just another regular day at work. She had several meetings lined up, emails to respond to, and inspections to do. Her office was very quiet as Rachel focused on her work.Shortly after, she was done with everything. She stretched her hands and gave out a deep sigh.Her body was really sore right now, especially her hands which were slightly swollen.She leaned on her chair and felt lost. She is missing Harris right now, but she doesn’t want to look desperate.She just can’t stay away from him for too long.“Should I vis
But instead of flinching or backing down, both security guards exchanged a look, and then one of them actually chuckled.“Our boss doesn’t even know you,” the first one muttered under his breath, but it was still loud enough for Matthew to hear.Matthew’s smug smile immediately dropped, as his eyes narrowed in disbelief. “What did you just say?”The second guard didn’t repeat it. Instead, he straightened and said clearly, “We can’t send an invoice, sir. You need to make the payment now. Immediate settlement is required for on site damage.”Matthew’s mouth opened in shock . “Now?” he asked, his voice a mix of shock and displeasure.“Yes, sir. Company policy.” The second guard spoke with a chuckle Behind him, Emily couldn’t hold it in anymore. A soft “Pfft” escaped her lips, but she quickly covered her mouth, because she was not meant to do it.It was already too late, because the room was silent, so of course, the sound was really loud and clear for everyone to hear.Matthew glared at
Matthew quickly froze on his step, with a confused look. He looked at the two security men with a bad feeling in his mind.“What’s going on?” he asked, trying to sound serious, but he failed to hide the unease in his voice.He stared at the two men, who were at the door and wondered why the security men came in when he was about to go out.The security men didn’t answer his question immediately. They both exchanged a look as they entered fully into the room, blocking the exit, leaving no way for him to go out.Matthew stood stiffly, as his mind raced.He was trying to put on a cold expression, but deep down, he was really scared and nervous.Looking at his figure and theirs, he was no match for them at all, because they look so burly than him, and the fact they were two, it was a dead end for him.Just then, he heard them talking after being silent for a while.“I’m sorry, sir. You can’t leave,” one of the security men said as he stepped forward, blocking the doorway with a calm loo
“We are working on a new construction, and it’s going to be a hospital,” Harris said to Matthew with a serious voice, he stared at Matthew’s expression and continued, “I heard your company is very good at this project, that’s why I accepted the collaboration,” he added.Matthew gave a proud smile as he nodded his head, he thought he was finally getting recognized for his business, not knowing that he was being investigated.Harrus clearly knows that Matthew’s company deals with building material, so this was the perfect alibi to use, so as not to get suspected because he knew he wouldn’t even think of cooperating with Matthew if not for the plan he has in his mind.Matthew gave a smug look and responded with a strong voice, “You are right, Harris . I won’t fail you with the project.”“It’s Mr Davis for you”. Harris warned and added, “we are not close to be comfortable with each other”. Matthew quickly apologized even though he was gritting his teeth with anger.But the thoughts of ho
