Kimmie stomped her foot angrily on the door of her boss's office. She hated Brian with every fiber in her, the effect of having your boyfriend as your boss; was you losing both your job and man when you get apart.
The bastard had cheated on her with one of the workers in the office and got her pregnant. Brian showed no remorse calling her a bore; saying he had gotten tired of having to see her every time with nothing new, no spice to add to the relationship. All she did was work with the same routine.She had laughed loudly at his assertions, doubling as his personal assistant and girlfriend had not been an easy task. She harkened to his needs both office and home, most absurd of it all was she lived in his house. Kimmie had confronted him on the rumor that he was having an affair with Kimberly the human resource manager and Brian owned her pregnancy. In response Brian had told Kimmie the story of her life, fired her and sent her packing from his house. Saying he didn't want to see her or any of her things in his house by the time he got back. She wanted to cry but not in front of him, she couldn't give him the satisfaction of seeing her break.She walked out with nowhere in mind, her heart raced at the betrayal. She had been with Brian since college, he was from a quite comfortable home. When he talked about opening a restaurant and hotel his parents had been in full support providing him with the money and resources he needed.Having studied business administration; Brian had asked her to take care of his administrative activities and work as his personal assistant. They had been dating since their third year in college. She was extremely happy, having worked two jobs in school to keep her and her mother afloat.Kimmie's mother lived in a shabby apartment working as a nanny downtown, her determination to further her studies and make it big in the industrial world had pushed her through hurdles to get through college. She squatted with her very good and supportive friend Bella, her parents were just as nice as she was and let her stay all her years in college with them.But the offer proposed by Brian had made her leave, she had imagined a fairy tale ending between the both of them. Building his dream company together, getting married having kids and they continue both parents legacy when they grow up. But it turned out she had been day dreaming. She had no place to go and no job. She wished she could break Brian's head into pieces.Her phone rang, she had almost forgotten about the gadget; making her jump at the noise. She didn't bother to check who the caller was, knowing who it would be. She didn't have much callers just her mother, Bella and Brian; who was now out of the picture."Hey girl." Bella called out on the other line."Hey B." She replied blankly.There was a momental pause, "what's is the matter Kim?" Bella asked calling her the pet name she had developed since college."Well I just got tossed out of a home and job like a garbage. You are talking to a homeless person B.""Why, what happened, what's the matter with Brian?" Bella asked at the same time."Calm your nerves Bella, don't waste your breath on his whereabouts. The idiot broke up with me and sent me out of his house.""What? Do you mean the rumors were true, he was actually cheating on you?""You got it right B. He was cheating, and then he called me boring.""That bastard! Don't mind him Kim, you do know my house is always open to you. That's better, now I would get to see you every time and spend more time with you." She giggled."You are hopeless." She told her smiling, "but I don't have a job.""We would work through that baby. Do you need me to come get you? I had wanted to inform you that the contract we were bidding for in my company had been approved.""Wow, I am so happy for you. We should celebrate that.""Obviously, so should I come get you?""No, don't worry about me. I would see you home later tonight, I need some good coffee.""Alright Kim, I love you.""Love you too Bella." Kimmie replied hanging the call.She had been so engrossed in thought she lost track of time and had skipped breakfast. It was still past eleven, she could get some good creamy, rich Starbucks coffee. Not even Brian and his stupid job or home could make her miss eating. With a determined stride she head down to the coffee shop down the office street.Cedric boomed with anger, he radiated electrified annoyance that would shock anyone who tried coming near him. Adrian had run far from him seeing his state, he had used having a client in his office as an excuse. His other brothers had gone on different ways each pondering on the bombshell their father had dropped on them without caution.This wasn't the plan, his father was trying to play too smart with them which wasn't allowed. He had told Maria to cancel all of the meetings he had for the day, he couldn't concentrate with his mind in such disarray. He needed something to calm himself before he brought down the whole office with his angry fist.Storming out of the office, he drove straight out not really thinking of a destination. He had drove far ahead before making a stop in front of a coffee shop. A hot steamy one should lower his sugar level or he might lapse into high blood pressure at this stage.The brewing coffee in her hands and the smell emitting from it, drowned all of her worries. She had been too engrossed in the coffee like she had never seen it before, to take note of the intending customer coming into the shop. Without looking she walked right into him, dumping all of her coffee on him. The man hissed in irritation.Chapter SeventeenCedric looked up in surprise at the sight of his father, he wasn't expecting Ryan to show up. Standing up from his chair, he walked towards him."Good morning, dad. I wasn't expecting you today." He saidRyan snort playfully, "I know you weren't expecting at all. But, it's all good. Actually, I won't be staying for long. I brought someone important to you. Here is Miss Kimmie Woodrow and she would be working with you from now on as your personal assistant."A scoff escaped Cedric's lips, he gave Kimmie a once over. "Is this a joke dad?" A stern look crossed Ryan's face, turning around at Kimmie he smiled. "Can you excuse us for a minute, please."She nodded hurriedly, stepping out. Her heart was practically in her mouth and it had her worried that she might never get the job."Do I look like a joke to you, Cedric?" Ryan bellowed the moment Kimmie stepped out. "What else do you want me to think, dad? Why do you keep meddling with my business?" Cedric questioned. "I
Chapter SixteenBella stepped out of the kitchen with a cup of coffee, turning it silently as she sat on the couch. Last night had been one of those days when she and Kimmie stayed apart without talking to each other. She was pissed at Kimmie for going out with Brian and turning her down in front of the man who had hurt her. Kimmie stepped out of her room trying to adjust the skirt she had on. Sighing, Kimmie walked towards bella. "Good morning, are you still angry at me?" Bella rolled her eyes, "what is the need to be angry? It's your life and your decision." Sitting next to her, "Bella, I know I might look stupid to you. But, I am not totally a fool. I just needed to let him know I wasn't his forever puppet and I could handle things on my own. Brian needed to hear a piece of me." "How am I suppose to believe that when you were staring at him like a snack?" "I admit to the fact that I was smitten by him once again. I will tell you bella, there is no way I would go back to a man
Chapter Fifteen"Bella!" Kimmie finally left her trance mode. She held on quickly to her friend. Her eyes shone widely at the sight of Brian on the floor struggling to get up while entangled in a pile of clothes. The shop attendants had run towards them trying to help Brian up. But, he refused to let anyone of them touch him. "Don't you dare lay those filthy hands of me! You!" He growled at Kimmie.Bella was in front of him in a second, "Hell, no young man. If you would speak to Kimmie you would have to come through me first." Kimmie gulped hard as her eyes met with Brian. "Please, Bella." "Is this what you have planned with your friend to do? To humiliate me?" Brian said, holding Bella's gaze. "Don't look at him Kimmie. He is trying to manipulate you." Bella mumbled, turning to her friend with her eyes searching. "Please, Kimmie." She moaned. "I will be outside, Kimmie. I need to talk to you." Brian said, heading out of the store. Bella stared in bewilderment, "tell me you aren
Chapter FourteenKimmie yawned loudly, blinking rapidly when her eyes landed on Bella holding up her phone with her mouth agape. “Bella!” She called out, “what are you doing with my phone?” Bella giggled loudly, sitting on the edge of the bed. “Who exactly did you meet last night?” Scratching the depth of her hair, Kimmie looked lost. “What are you even talking about?” “Stop playing dumb. Ryan Pierce just texted you.”“Are we looking through each other's phone now?” “Not exactly, just tell me already. How did you meet him?” “How is it that you know him. I helped him on my way to use the restroom last night. I had an encounter with Kimberly, and he asked me to type in my contact on his phone.” “Kimberly was at the party?” She raised a brow, “you didn't see her?” “No, I didn't.”“Well, she did show up, and you know how much she enjoys being insulting and all of that.” “Yeah, I get what Kimberly can do. But, do you know who this man is?” “Why are being overtly dramatic over a
Chapter ThirteenKimmie has never had to see so many influential people in the business world under one roof before. It all looked so beautiful and colorful.Since Bella had insisted on her coming to the party with her. She had braced herself up for another pretentious evening. Where she holds up a tight smile to please anyone who approaches her.About twenty-five minutes to their arrival, Bella already got whisked away by her colleagues, leaving her all by herself. Looking around the room, her eyes caught sight of Kimberly, Brian new woman and her former colleague. Knowing how petty Kimberly can be. Kimmie excused herself from the table, heading to the restroom.On her way there, she saw an old man looking blotched like he was having an attack. Kimmie ran towards him, holding him down against the wall to help him breath well.“Do you need water? Should I help you get some?” kimmie inquired, unsure as to what to do.Dropping her purse, she went back to the party, grabbing a bottle of
Chapter TwelveCedric let out a long snort at the lady wrapped in his bedsheets, the night he spent with her was one of the most awful ones he has ever had. She slobbed in every of the sex styles he tried to perform with her, and it irked every of his insides.For the weekend, he had brought her home to keep him company. But one night with her already seem like a nightmare, and he wouldn’t be able to deal with it any further. Pulling the sheets off her, Cedric stared in disgust.“You should leave, now.” He ordered in a rigid toneThe blonde haired stared at him confused, “why? Are we heading out?”Cedric scoffed, “no, I need you to leave my house now, Sandra.”She sat up, “it's Sarah.” The lady corrected, glaring at him for calling her a wrong name.“Whichever one it is. Just leave.”“Fine! I would, how about my money.” Sarah demanded.Searching through his drawer, Cedric threw a bundle of cash at her. Hissing loudly, Sarah made her way out of the room. He could hear her almost brin
