REINAI held the design. I told Ravenna to sketch out away from my face. I stared at it, still trying to understand what she just sketched.Now, I knew that I wanted to deal with her and put her in her place with everything I had in me.But, looking at this nonsense she called a sketch made me want to humiliate her more than ever before.“Raveena,” I called her out.I noticed that she grumbled, stamping her feet on the floor before answering me. I decided to let this slide because that was not my main focus. We had a lot of work to do and this was what she was able to come up with. Quite shameful.“How did you find your way into this company? It was all through Ethan right?” I asked her, in my most calm state.“Excuse me?” she asked , raising her eyebrow.I found that very disrespecting to my office and my person. Raveena knew that I was in for her this time around and she can't escape me. Neither can she use Ethan to help her out of my hands.“I asked a question because, clearly you
REINAI saw the whole world of Raveena coming to an end as she heard that. Her break was when she went to see the love of her life, Ethan.Following him everywhere like a fly who would not leave a corpse alone. The thought of her doing that alone made my mouth bitter. I was going to do everything possible to stop them.Tears were gathering beneath her eyes and I saw as she fought them back.“What have I done to deserve this cruel treatment?” she asked as she watched her colleagues go out for a break.In her presence, I brought out my plate of chicken soup and white rice. Beside it was a fruit juice that I wanted to use to rush it down.“A lot.” I said within me, wearing a wide smile that she saw rather offensive.But, did I care? Never. I was the last person to care about what he did.“Go back to your desk and work. Remember, If those twenty sketches are not finished today, then you will sleep in the office,” I reminded her and she hit her leg on the floor like a little child.She he
ETHANIf I said I was not very impressed by what Reina showed me then it would be nothing but a lie.While I focused on the designs, my mind still drifted back to her beautiful skin and face.Why on earth did I lose this lady? She was so much invested in explaining the concept of the design to me and did not seem to give a fuck about me.But, I did give a whole lot about her. I loved her. My feelings were real and I knew that I had committed various atrocities in the past but was she going to forget about all of that?“So, that's all,” she said as she finished explaining the design that she had drafted out.I was already lost in her that I could not respond immediately. All I saw apart from the designs was her.“Ethan,” I heard my name countless times before I jolted out of my thoughts.I shook my head countless times and jerked.“I'm sorry. I'm sorry,” I apologized. She just stared at me with frustration written all over face.I knew how it felt for you to talk to a person for severa
REINA“Thank you. You guys did a great job. We will continue tomorrow,” I said,appreciating everyone's effort here with me.The whole team was doing a great job and I was very glad that we are pulling it off slowly.“But, I really wish we could work two times harder than how we are working now. This project needs to be done in no time,” I expressed my thoughts to the rest of the team standing in the same room with me.I was standing in between two mannequins that I wanted to be dressed up in this latest design. “We can. If you don't mind. We will finish these two dresses and dress the mannequins tonight so that we can show the exhibition in the fashion world before it is put up for sale,” one of the seamstresses suggested.I would have agreed to her decision but she looked tired already. They have been working all day since I brought this completed design.They all tried to get the perfect color of the materials, the gems, precious stones and everything needed for the dress all today
Ethan“Fire, fire.”I jerked the moment I heard the people in the building screaming from where I was. It all felt like a film in my eyes.The whole event flashed in my very eyes and I became so disorganized. At this time, I was in my office, going through a lot of documents that were placed on my table.The dresses that were ready were almost put out for display. We needed pictures. Not just anyhow pictures, professional pictures that would show the worth of the dress.I was still working on that when this whole shout shook me, disorganising whole thoughts.“Fire, where?” I blurted out, trying to look out of the window before taking any step. “The building. It's being razed down my fire,” one of my staff answered and without thinking twice, I dashed out of my room.The smoke coming from the fire hit my nostrils and my stomach rumbled. This was not a prank. A fire outbreak it really was.“Emergency. Call them. Tell them we have a fire in here,” I yelled at my staff who were running a
REINAI was confused the moment I saw smoke coming out of the office where I was working.I checked every corner of the room and could not find any trace of Ravenna. Before I knew it, Ravenna bounced into the room looking so unbothered when everyone was running from one corner to the other looking for ways to put off the fire.Now, seeing her in front of me just angered me. I already knew why she was doing this. Little did she know that she just unlocked a mini version of hell in her life.“Did you just say you tolerated a lot of nonsense from me? Come over again so that I can hear you well,” I said to her but she just sighed.This lady just disrespected me and I was here standing like a fool? Really? Wow. That was quite a lot for me to swallow in. I knew she was doing all of that because Ethan was here.When he was not here, she almost melted in my presence. I nodded slowly as I plotted my next plan in my head.She has no idea what is coming. This thing she has caused now was going
EthanI made sure that Ravenna did everything that I asked her to do while still involving my lawyer in the whole process.Still, everything was more or less like the prank a little child would pay. Ravenna had refused to come back to the house for some days after the incident and I also heard from Reina that she had refused to come to work.Shaking my head in front of my work desk at home, I knew that Raveena was up to no good. She had long been forgotten by me but as usual, I only kept her by my side. I only needed Reina. Now everything that was happening was not enough to get Reina close to me.She was still on her guard and didn't want to have anything to do with me. According to her, she only wanted business.Something clicked within me and I remembered a trick that I could play to bring Reina to me.I dialed her number immediately and she answered.“You called, Ethan. Is anything the problem?” she asked me, quite unserious.“No, no. Nothing is the problem. It's just business. I
REINA “He thinks he's smart.” I blurted out, throwing my phone on my couch. I had decided not to go to work today because I needed a break. And, I didn't do that alone.I have the whole team involved in this process a long damn break because they needed it.Only for Ethan to call me over to his house, hiding under the cover that he wanted me to get some design files.What does he take me for? A fool or a desperate woman who would just give in to something.I have never felt disrespected in the coming days that I have felt before. Ethan thinks he can use me as he likes but I am not that desperate.He should get the fuck away from me. My God! I buried my head, covering it with my palm.Where have I gone wrong to deserve all of these? It was a question that needed to be answered.I wish God could come in here and answer me but he didn't. I wish I could hear him speak or comfort me but I don't.Instead, what I keep seeing is Ethan making his stupid moves at me. I almost burst out into
