Eleanor angrily stomped back to her office immediately she stepped out of Arthur's office."This doesn't make sense!" She murmured to herself immediately she walked into her office."How the hell am I supposed to do this alone!""So I'm going to spend a night at the office and still not get paid?!""I'm not going to do it!" She grumbled angrily as she walked to her seat and made to continue her previous work, but then again Arthur's threat ran through her mind, she knew better than to ignore his threats, he absolutely was going to make do of his threats, especially now that she had being rude to him and he obviously couldn't do anything about it, he was going to take out his anger on her definitely, and he had a perfect cause to.She groaned frustratingly as she slowly pulled out her chair and began to work on the project.11:00pm that night ....."Ahhh!" Eleanor yawned as she sat up from her desk."Jeez!" She whispered as stretched her upper body, she slowly pulled her phone closer a
Next day .....Wednesday Morning ....5:00 am ..."Thank you Lord for speed!" Eleanor murmured immediately she put finishing touch to the presentation and perfectly completed it.She raised her hands and stretched it above her head, her joint released a small pop as she stretched and she groaned in relief.Although she slept at intervals, a maximum of thirty minutes each time, she was able to complete the job.She quickly picked up her bag and packed up her things, she needed to rush home, get changed, get her things and rush back to the office as soon as possible , and well in time for the meeting.Immediately she walked out of her office, Arthur also walked out of his and she held onto her bag tightly and extremely nervous as she increased her pace and walked away immediately, not even saying a word of greeting.****Later that day ....8:00am .....Eleanor released a small yawn for the umpteenth time as she stepped out of the elevator and walked into the corporation.She looked dow
Wilson Corp ....9:45am ..."Alright, let's not waste too much of our time , we're just gonna get started with the presentation," Arthur said."Hazel, over to you!" He said gesturing towards her, her heart began to beat even faster, the presentation in her hand was more like an inferior compared to what Wilson Corp stood for.She cleared her throat deeply, as she turned to look at Eleanor, whom she was expecting to do something, Eleanor just stared at her with a small smirk at the corner of her lips as she watched her fidget and shake.Eleanor smiled in her head as she stared at her, she deserved to go through that mini panic attack after what she made her go through yesterday."Are you sure you're okay?!" Mr Henry the prospective buyer asked, seeing as she was sweating heavily and didn't seem to get a hang of herself.Arthur's eyes followed her every move as she stood up and walked up to the projector, she placed her laptop on the table and with shaky hands began to connect the lapto
The door to Eleanor's office opened with a small creak, Eleanor slowly looked up at it and it was Hazel.She rolled her eyes knowingly and slowly exhaled."Come in Hazel!" She murmured"Eleanor, I'm sorry" Hazel whispered immediately she walked in and slammed the door shut."It's fine, " Eleanor replied."No it's not, I spoke to you in a way that I shouldn't""I let you do all the work alone overnight, I shouldn't have done that " she murmured fiddling her fingers, she couldn't bring herself to look at Eleanor in the eye."I'm sorry for everything, for ever making you look incompetent in front on Sir Arthur,""Looking back now I feel stupid for all I did,""It's actually fine, if I had anything against you, I wouldn't have done what I did" she replied."Thank you so much," Hazel whispered."And one more thing, thank you for standing up for me earlier but I think I'd like to tender my resignation letter""This is not me being ungrateful but I don't think this space is still convinent f
Wilson Corp ...."You have to work on these and submit them tomorrow morning unfailingly!" Arthur said to Eleanor immediately she walked into the office, his face was knotted in a tight frown, and he wasn't even giving her any opportunity to refuse his order at all ."It's a whole estate property and that's the next property we're looking to lease,""We don't on selling out anytime soon, so work on that!" He said."Arthur?!""To work on this and submit tommorow morning is another overnight for me!" She whispered."Exactly! That's the point!""I'm aware, that's why I'm giving it to you!" He replied "But that's not fair, I'm beginning to do more than an assistant's work,""I'm not the one who fired two staff!" She grumbled, just as he was about to reply an unknown feeling hit him and he released a loud sneeze three consecutive time.He slowly wiped his eyes with the back of his hands and sighed deeply, he shut his eyes tightly, this wasn't the time to develop a fever."Look Eleanor, do
Next day, Thursday ....7:20 am .....Smiths residence ....."Thank you so much Tyler, you don't know how much you've helped me !" Eleanor said as she packed up her bags."It's nothing, anything for you!" He replied, she smiled as she walked towards the small mirror by the passage and packed her hair up in a tight ponytail."That's why I love you best!" She replied."We should get going now, if I don't want to be prey to an hungry lion!" She said and Tyler smiled."Just take it easy Eleanor,""I'll keep that in mind, " she replied with a small laugh as she picked up her bag."Won't you guys stay for breakfast?!" Racheal called from the kitchen."It's fine Mom, I'm late already, I'll eat once I'm back!" She replied."Tyler what about you?!""I'm fine ma!" Tyler replied."Alright then, take care and stay safe kids!""Eleanor you must get me a birthday gift on your way back!" Her mom yelled across and she laughed."It's still tomorrow right, we'll find something " she replied."Alright t
She gently helped him up, she supported his weakened frame, guiding him towards his room. "What are you doing Eleanor,""I can take care of myself!" He muttered drowsily."Shush, can you stop being stubborn!""I'd have a lot of things happen to you but definitely not death, even though you almost killed me one certain time!" She said and he just went mute.He had absolutely no strength to even stand on his own, talk more argue with her.The hallway revealed glimpses of his personal life, adorned with framed photographs capturing moments of joy, alongside musical instruments scattered in a harmonious disarray. As they reached his room, she gently stretched forward and pushed the door open.Almost zapped out of her own energy carrying him all the way, she quickly helped him sit on the bed , with his back against the wall.He heaved a sigh of relief and slowly sat on the bed beside him.With tender care, she carefully helped him pull off his shirt, she quickly walked inside his bathroom
A little more than a few moments later ...After waiting for some minutes surfing through the internet on her phone Eleanor got bored, she released a deep sigh, her gaze suddenly caught a piano at one corner in the living room.She stood up immediately and headed there,"Quite rusty but let's see what I've got," she murmured as she gently uncovered it.She released a deep exhale as she placed her hands on it, she immediately began to play a song she usually hum, she hums this song when she's happy, when she's sad, nervous, angry, any sort of emotion.She really couldn't place where she learnt or heard the tune but she knew it was very familiar, and sometimes she could hear it in her dreams.Her spirit, soul and body became so invested in the song as she added energy to the piano she was playing, "What height of love, what depth of peace, when fears are still, when striving cease," Arthur murmured the lyrics of the song as he slowly walked towards her , she turned to look at him but s
