Unexpected Lunch dateKim's phone rang while she prepared breakfast for herself. "I'm coming," she screamed. "Hang on there."She wiped her hand on a kitchen towel and went to her phone. She glanced at it. It was Henry Willis calling. She wasn't expecting his call, though she had been expecting it before. She answered the call. "Hello Henry.""Hello beautiful," Henry's said huskily. "How are you doing?""I'm doing well, you?" Kim asked, keeping her eyes on the water on fire. "I'm doing well too," he said. "I know my call was unexpected. Sorry.""No, you don't have to apologize," Kim said quickly. She saw the water had began to boil. "Can you give me thirty seconds? I just need to do something very important.""Alright dear," Henry said. Kim kept the phone back on the table and went to turn off the gas after bringing down the kettle. Her hand mistakenly touched the kettle and she screamed. "Is there a problem?" Henry asked, worriedly. "No, I just burned my hand," Kim said and laug
Behind close doorsIsabella was already dressed and ready to leave. "Okay, I have to go to work now," Yvonne announced as she walked towards to the door. "Bye, Isabella and David.""Wait for me, Yvonne," Isabella said. "I can drop you off at work.""Oh no, you don't have to. I don't want to be a burden," Yvonne said with a smile. "C'mon Yvonne, we are friends after all," Isabella said, grabbing her handbag. "Alright," Yvonne said. "Bye David.""Bye Yvonne," David said coming into the sitting room. "Have a great day at work.""Thank you," Yvonne said. "Bye David," Isabella said and was about to move before David grabbed her hand gently. "Are you just going to leave me like that?" David asked hoarsely, staring deep into her eyes. Isabella smiled shyly. His finger touched her nose making her to chuckle. "Have a nice day my love.""Have a nice day too, love," Isabella said and turned. "Where's my kiss?" David asked not letting go off her hand and pointing to his cheek. She turned
Friendship's Comfort Isabella walked into her own company. She got into her office. Immediately as she sat down, the door opened and Kim walked in. Kim was surprised to see Isabella and Isabella was surprised to see Kim. "Hello Isabella. I'm sorry I should have knocked," Kim said apologetically. "Nevermind that, dear Kim," Isabella said excitedly. Isabella noticed Kim had a blush on her lips. "Tell me about it. What happened?" "What do you mean, Isabella?" Kim asked shyly. "I can tell you are so happy and trying so hard not to show it. Tell me why you are so happy," Isabella urged. "Okay, fine. You caught me Isabella," Kim said and laughed. That was why they were best friends. They always noticed when they were sad or happy. "Henry took me out to lunch and he confessed his feelings for me."Isabella was excited to hear that. "Great news," she said. "But, isn't that early? You barely know each other.""I know but that feeling when you love someone, I feel it," Kim explained. Is
Veiled Agendas"This is so shocking," Chris was the first to speak. "I wasn't expecting you.""Mr Chris, I'm shocked it's you," why wouldn't Yvonne be? Chris seemed kind whenever he was around David but after hearing from his employers of his mean demeanor, she didn't know what to believe again. "Well, fate just brought us together. I am your boss and you are my secretary," he said, with a smirk. Yvonne nodded. "Will you fire me?""Hell no! Why will I do such a thing? I'm not that men or heartless. You got this job because of your hard work dear," Chris said, his smile deepening. "And besides I can trust you because you are a friend to my painter, David.""Okay sir," Yvonne said gratefully. "Thank you so much. I promise I won't let you down.""You can start now by not letting me down," Chris said, staring at her. "How? What do you mean sir?" Yvonne asked, inquisitively. "Well, I do not want David or Isabella to know you work for me," Chris said at once. "But why?" Yvonne asked. S
The Betrayal WithinIsabella was going through some documents only to realize she just lost an important business deal. Kim came back into the office with the lunch. "Here it is," she said with a smile. But her smile faded away quickly, when she saw Isabella's look. "Is there a problem Isabella?""I just lost a very huge business deal," Isabella said. "What?" Kim couldn't believe it. She had no idea. She was Isabella's secretary, how was it possible this happened without her knowledge? Something was not right. Kim's eyes widened in shock. "How could this happen? I thought everything was going smoothly with the deal."Isabella sighed heavily, running a hand through her hair in frustration. "I don't know, Kim. Everything seemed to be on track until I went through these documents just now. There's a loophole that the other party exploited, and now we've lost the deal."Kim's mind raced with possibilities. "Do you think it was intentional? Could someone have sabotaged us?""It's possib
Twists And TurnsChris stared at Mariah. "You have done a great job, Mariah. I am proud of you," he said, sipping his glass of whiskey. Mariah smiled. "You know I will do anything for you," she said leaning forward. "So, how's Yvonne? Did you get her familiar with her work?" Chris asked. "Yes, I did. She has gone home, by the way," Mariah said. "Apart from the securities and a few workers, we re the only ones in the building.""Well, next time I will love to see Yvonne before she leaves," Chris said firmly. "Do you suddenly have feelings for Yvonne?" Mariah inquired. "Don't be ridiculous Mariah. You are dismissed, you can leave," Chris said. "But, I want to spend more time with you. We only have few time to spend with each other in a day," Mariah complained. "Don't be a pest. Go home Mariah," he said rudely. Mariah's expression hardened, a flicker of hurt crossing her features before she masked it with a tight smile. "Fine, Chris. I'll leave you to your precious solitude," sh
A Tangled WebThe next day, Chris arrived at the office with a bouquet of flowers in hand, determined to make things right with Mariah. As he approached her desk, he cleared his throat to get her attention."Mariah, I owe you an apology," he began, offering her the bouquet. "I was out of line yesterday, and I shouldn't have spoken to you the way I did."Mariah looked up, surprised by the gesture. She accepted the flowers with a small smile, her eyes softening. "Thank you, Chris. Apology accepted," she replied, her voice warmer than before.Chris breathed a sigh of relief, glad to have made amends. "I also wanted to thank you for all your hard work.

Immediately, there was a knock on Mariah's office door. "Come
Punished Eve came into his office. "Hello sir, you sent for me," she said with her head bowed to the floor. Chris turned her to the wall and lowered his head to her neck. Then he whispered in her ear. "You broke my trust, Eve. After everything I have done for you."She became more afraid and tensed. With a nod she said, "No, I didn't." He spanked her butts. "Yes, you did," he said, taking hold of her pony tail hair. "Who was that man I saw you speaking to earlier?""You said I wasn't supposed to sleep with any other man. I was only talking with him," Eve replied frightened. "He was holding your hand, he hugged you. He almost kissed you," his husky voice said, zipping down her gown. "What happens to a disobedient girl, Eve?"She gets punished," Eve muttered, preparing for the worst. He walked away from her. "Take off your clothes and follow me, young girl," he said heading to a hidden entrance.Eve did as he said, her hands shaking. "Your punishment will be so excruciating. I di
