EVERYTHING STEVEN

Christine’s Pov 

              

Living in the city was the life, it is always lively and full of mysteries unlike the countryside where I grew up which was quiet and reserved.

I thank the heavens that my mother was so serious with my language skills that I didn’t get the countryside’s accent unlike many.

I closed my laptop after preparing Steven’s meetings plan with his business associates today and pulled out my office clothes, got ready and head to the office.

Immediately I got to my office I’m welcomed with Steven's angry face. 

I wonder what got him all worked up and in my office.

I let it slide and walk straight to him

“Good morning sir”

“Where are the files Christine, I told you to be here by six am this morning!”

“I’m sorry I was working on the errors this morning, cut me some slack Steven

I was only 15 minutes late “

he gives me that look that I know we are no longer talking about the files anymore 

“Do you have a boyfriend Christine"

and right there I choke on my spit, how could he think such.

“ No!”

I look up to see his eyes on me watching my expression

“Why would you think that”

his eyes soften and he looks away from me

“ Well because you are never here this days, even when I treated the entire management team to dinner over the last successful deal you passed saying you had a date”

Wow I never knew he was interested in my affairs, wait is he jealous.

I look at him and he is still looking away but his body language and the way he spoke tells me he is, oh please be jealous

“ are you jealous Steven”

he look up to me with surprise written all over his face but covers  it up with annoyance 

“ Never! I was only curious and if you do I will advice you to drop any unhealthy relationship that will affect your work or else I will have no choice but to fire you Christine, this is just a warning”

he quickly walk out or should I say run out. If there is anyone I can read like a book it was Steven. I have known the guy long enough, I was and still obsessed with him and he is jealous. 

Well so does that mean he likes me.

That is a sign right, I do pray it is.

I sat in my office thinking of Steven all morning and what happened this morning. I made up my mind to apologize to him for my behavior and even explain what happened the day of the dinner party.

Right about the time of the meeting I head to Steven’s office, only for me to get there and meet him in a compromising situation with slutty Mabel, his hands wrapped around her waist and their lips touching, her hands was all over him as they engage in a wild and frenetic kiss.

My heart instantly stop at the sight of both of them together, I froze in place, tears running down my face.

Immediately his eyes met mine I run out, my heart couldn’t take it, I ran as fast as my legs could go.

I picked up my things and continued running.

My everything was Steven and seeing him like that shattered me, it broke me, he said he didn’t like her,  but he was with her, just like before when I had hope of knowing maybe he liked me I was proved wrong .

     

I cried my eyes out that night,  he didn’t even call to explain why he was with her. What was I expecting, he isn't my boyfriend, he is my boss.

After I got up this morning I already made up my mind to quit, maybe Steven was not for me, if I continued hoping I will die alone.  I’m already 26, a girl got to move on, I prepare my resignation letter just at the last moment to send it my door bell rang, as I open the door behold stood Steven in all his glory and with a bouquet of red roses in his hand flashing that killer smile.
