"Wha…"
Before my girlfriend could finish.
She rushed to me.
"Daniel, where will I start? The new manager is my ex's friend ,how will I start looking for a new job".
She was crying, hugging my waist,I turned to my furious girlfriend to calm her.
"We will talk later"she snapped angrily and went back to her seat.
"Emm look hey ,stop crying,it's not the end of the world,you are smart and the best designer I have seen,I will help talk to the guy, I promise I must convince him".
Her face brightened.
"Thank you ,thank you Dan," She dried her eyes.
"Thanks Abigail bye" She waved at my girlfriend who seemed not interested,so she completely ignored her.
After she left,Abigail walked up to me with her hands folded over her chest.
"So what's the meaning of that, friends with benefits?"
"You know me better and why you Ignore her,she's the last person to get into someone's relationship, so stop fighting her,we are good friends and that's it".
"Bla Bla bla bla once upon a time!!!, fairy tales!!" She snapped and walked back to her seat.
"Baby, Can you at least help me with the bathing"
"Last time I checked you are old enough to impregnate a woman and become a father and bathe yourself!!"
I shook my head,I went to her and carried her heading to the bathroom.
“Put me down,or I will bite you".
**AT THE COMPANY**
"So you telling me what?"the new boss snapped at me.
Seriously this dude got anger issues,or is he just naturally mean.
I stared at him ,scared of my fellow man's visuals.
"You will regret it if you don't get her back in your team sir".
"You know who I am?"
"Words 9th richest under 30 ,the owner of F&F fashion brand,the giant icons,you have branches all over the world, yes and I am a fan".
"I am impressed,but you just described the little you know, next time you talk to me,keep it low ,just like you".
I smiled, hiding my anger. I am this spoiled rat's elder yet he talks to me like a child,I don't blame him, he’s rich, it's one of their things.
"Well I won't try to force it on you but I am sure you will regret it sir, please give her a chance".
"You are the only one who said something nice about that lady out of the other co-workers".
"Believe me they lied to you sir".
"Her ex told me their story".
"He probably made it up sir, also every story has two sides, you don't know her own story".
"So tell me what it is that you want to gain from her by doing this, trying to convince me to get her back here"he said ,twitching a thick brow as he lay back on the office chair.
"She's a good friend. I am just doing what I have to, not to mention she's a very hard-working person sir".
He glanced at me for some time.
"Fine I will give her a chance to prove her worth,you can go now".
"Thanks boss".
I went outside the office and called Valerie on the phone to inform her about it.
She was so happy.
"Are you kidding me now,I had the dream last night I was praying and waiting patiently,I know you will do it thanks Daniel,God bless you".
"Amen,so prepare yourself too,this guy is not just a CEO,he is huge and if we eventually start working for him in due time we will be a big name and famous,you know what I mean ,the F&F brand is a worldwide iconic fashion brand".
"I heard of it too,I can't believe we are working with F &F, I mean ,we are going to be working with F&F ,it's like a dream come true ,I will give it my best shot".
"Take care, don't think too much".
"I won't ,stop worrying! I am fine,say Hy to Abigail for me when you get home".
"I will".
"And hey, remember to take your drugs". "How did you know I'm sick?"I was shocked.
"Malaria,I had the dream of you being sick and refusing to take your drugs".
So accurately,I refused to take my drugs this morning.
"I wish I was that gifted too".
She chuckled.
"Bye Dan,you are an irreplaceable friend".
She hung up.I can't help smiling.
"Well tomorrow we start work, goodluck to us". I said to myself.
**VALERIE'S POV**
The next day at work,I dressed my best. It's not a small opportunity to work with the F&F Famous and fantastic Fashion brand. My happiness was written all over me not until I sighted Kamsy.
I greeted her first,she Ignored me,I regretted taking the first move immediately, but I was doing that to pretend I was hurting.
I saw Daniel standing by the other side waiting for his turn for the interview too, I sneaked through to him.
I hit his shoulder playfully ,he laughed.
"You are as excited as I am right?"he asked. I nodded and took a deep breath, my heart was racing so much,I could feel the sweat.
"It's me , they are not here, the doctor asked me to come let you know, if you wish to remove the blind fold now or still wait for them"the nurse stated.I was disappointed but had to be patient."I will wait.."."Alright Mr Prince"."Please, nurse, are you there?""Yes Mr prince?""Can you call them to know if everyone is okay?"I suggested."We did call but it wasn't going through, if you are very excited and impatient, you should remove it. The nurses and surgeons will be here with you , when they come , they will be very happy to see you as a surprise, it's still the same thing".She spoke softly.I sighed deeply. She is right about one thing. I am inpatient and excited. It's been a long time since I saw the light, the sky , my parents, Zoey and my Valerie."Alright I think i'm ready".
This time Luke made a fast move to take the hun from her but she closed her eyes and pulled the trigger.The sound of the gunshot echoed across the basement.She panicked seeing him dead with his eyes staring at her, horrified at sight she shot him five times in the head and ran off.**PRINCE'S POV**After a week or so we left the country for Australia, my step mom's idea. I was worried for Valerie, I made sure I reminded her to wear something warm, because of winter weather, she always tells me not to worry but I can't help it.It's been 6 months now, and Val always ask and talk about a surgery procedure, I never wanted to tell her how that scares me, I have had surgery before, and I don't like that experience, I vowed never again , so going into it was something I have no faith in but I wanted to make her happy so I agreed.The D-day was here, we had done the procedure a
**PRINCE'S POV**After applying my eye drops, Debra asked Zoey to excuse the two of us.Few minutes later, she cleared her throat as if it was dry out of nervousness."I can't imagine how hard this life has been for you since the incident, as soon as I heard it, I decided to visit, we have to do something, you can't stay like this forever"."I can..., if it's my fate"I replied not showing any sign of gratitude to her care.Just then Noona walked into the room, her heels are enough for a blind to notice her model walking."Noona?"I heard Debra gasping, I think they hugged and Nora came and pecked me.I frowned at that, she laughed."Good day Ma'am"Daniel's voice sounded from behind me.He tapped my shoulder, I smiled to show I recognized him."Yes dearie".Debra replied to his greeting.
"She doesn't need anyone to tell her that Valerie is my wife, she was there at our wedding".Prince walked into the room with a walking stick , I went and helped him get to a seat."Are you serious now Prince,... this has to be a joke.... you can't settle for..... that".The mother whispered but I could still hear her, I bowed my head, and faced the floor."Well I am serious, you can now stop talking about it not like your opinion mattered anyway"."Really! Yeah I know you do hate me Prince, I am not your birth mother and you think I know about her death and then accepted your father's proposal just a month later but please I am trying at least, you didn't even care to talk to me about taking a bride and her?"She gave me a distasteful look."Yes, what's wrong with her?"Prince replied with his brows arched, he stretched out his hand, I knew he
***NOONA'S POV**I opened the door and Zoey ran to me, I was surprised she was being nice to me instead of angry as always when I was dating Prince or flirting with him."Baby you okay?"I whispered and patted her bag as we tightened the hug.She nodded, I smiled at her and glanced up at Valerie. She didn't even make a move when someone entered the room, I am not good at this, I have never had someone talk to me in this manner I was about to except Daniel. I promised him I will do my best."Valerie, sweetheart he will be fine".She looked at me in tears."Are you sure Noona?"I was a bit relieved and smiled back.I released Zoey and went to her."The culprit is on the run but I promise I will do everything in my power to make sure he is arrested".I assured her."The culprit?"she asked in surprise.
