"Hello everyone, I'm home!" Rosie called closing the door behind her."Welcome home Sis." Annie greeted pausing the movie she was watching. She went over and hugged her sister."Mmm, munchin, you're back already." Rosie asked returning the hug."Yep. Came back a while ago." She replied going back to her seat. "Mum's not home yet." She told Rosie who was darting her eyes around in search of their mother."Did she call to say she'd be late?" Rosie asked again seating down on one of the cushion."She texted." Came the reply. "You look so beautiful by the way. You went on a formal date? "She asked judging from Rosie's outfit.Rosie started removing her shoes. "A business date actually. I got a job today. Something stylish with a very good pay. I feel like I'm on top of the world already girl." She broke the news excitedly."Omg!! Congratulations sis. Gosh, I'm so happy for you right now. How, how were you able to do that? Owen linked you up finally?" Annie asked excited."Not Owen please.
"What is wrong with you? I knew allowing you visit your mum last weekend was never a good idea. Obviously that younger sister of yours is a big problem and a bad influence on you. Was she the reason you didn't call all through the weekend?" Owen asked Rosie when she walked into his office. He was used to her constant calls and bugging. Oddly, she didn't as much as place a call through to him all through the weekend and that was unlike her. Getting to the office that morning. He asked about her and was told she was at her cubicle. So he immediately sent for her."Allowing me? So, you are now give permission before I can see my family, is that what you're implying?" Rosie shot at him."Rosie please, you know what I mean.""Well, good morning to you too." Rosie said, taking a seat. "Did you send for me just to shout? And whatever do you mean by you allowed me visit my mother, are you alright?" She asked.Owen who was seated initially, stood up with shock written all over his face. He star
Stepping into the mighty building housing Global Link agency, Rosie felt nothing but gratitude in her heart. She was indeed grateful to Gregory for helping her secure such a great place of work. It was a high rise and well appointed building with each floor buzzing with activity.She had been there the previous week for the job interview. Which went well, a confirmation was the mail she got from them a few days later to resume work. She made her way to the reception. Having been there before, she knew her way around to some extent. Zed was indeed a small place compared to Global Link. She crossed the walkway to the receptionist."Good morning ma'am." She greeted the gorgeous looking lady behind the counter and got a warm smile and a greeting as well. "I'm Miss Bainer, one of the new employees.""Ah yes, you're welcome." She said. "Please take a seat over there." She pointed to a row of seat towards her right that were isolated from others.Rosie quickly strode towards the direction
"I'm not going to any masseuse. I won't be comfortable watching someone else rub my skin. Call me old fashioned if you like." She said."Funny, how I felt releived hearing you say that. I've really missed you Roe. It feels like years since the last time I saw you." He told her."Same here. Let's see soon." Rosie suggested."Say now?" Gregory asked."What? No, of course not. I'm so exhausted. I need to rest my feet amongst other things." She replied. "Let's see this weekend Greg. Your place ?" She asked."You should call me Greg more often. I love the way it sound when you do." He said. "Though I was thinking of having a dinner with nature at the Coastal-Inn. " He added."Mmmmm, that sounds so tempting. Maybe we could do it on our next visit there. Right now, all I can think of is the meal prep you owe me which you're definitely going to pay Gre......g." She stressed."Fine," he said, now laughing. "Let's have dinner at my place. I'll be your personal Chef this weekend and I promise yo
"Sis, you have a delivery." Annie called Rosie after signing off a parcel on her behalf."That can't be for me." Rosie said coming down the stairs. "Nobody knows I'm here. I don't even leave with you and Mrs. Bainer. Maybe it for either of you, definitely not for me." She said walking up to her sister and taking the shopping bag from her. She saw the card attached to it which had "FOR ROE" handwritten on it. Then she smiled as it dawned on her that the item was sent by Gregory.Annie smiled too. "It's from your new boyfriend right." She asked in excitement."Annie!" Rosie exclaimed. "There is no boyfriend. Gregory is my friend. Do not let Mrs. Bainer hear you call someone my boyfriend please. I don't have any boyfriend, for now at least.""Owen's chapter is completely closed?" She asked with a raised brow."Completely and totally like he never existed in my life before. The guy is so rude. Imagine calling me a pauper, a whore and so many other suggestive words." Rosie told her sister
"Aww, no, I was just joking. Honestly, you are a great cook." She finally said. "If you'll excuse me now, I need to focus on my food."Gregory watched her eat with smiles, taking his time to admire the perfect creature seated in front of him. She was gorgeous, gracious, well mannered and most of all a very nice person.Before now, he'd just wanted to maintain cordial relationship with and be able to look out for her. But in just weeks, the feeling had gradually diminished and made way for something way bigger. Feelings he was yet to put a name to or scared to put a name to rather. But he knew he felt something so big that makes his heart swell with joy each time he looks at her. When she was done with food, he called the housekeeper to clear the table while he took her to the sitting room and got a bottle of wine for her.Rosie sat on the couch in Gregory's sitting room. She was treated to a bottle of red wine by Greg who took a seat beside her."How's your feet." He asked her."You r
It happened to be a great day at Brass Enterprise. The owner of the Firm Mr. Gregory Johnson turned 55. His friend and employees threw a little Party to celebrate his birthday and also appreciate him for being an amazing Boss.Mr. Greg as he was fondly called by many was a fifty five years old Widower who lost his Wife during the birth of their second child or so he told everybody. It's been twenty years since her death and he was yet to get over her. So, he kept going, admitting his daily life and practically living his life solely for his Kids. His first child, his daughter, works as a fashion designer and runs loads of charity organizations. While his second child, his son was studying medicine abroad.The day was going smoothly as few people gathered in one of the mini conference rooms to celebrate the birth of a great man. Each person representing a department at the Firm. His friend Maxwell was not left out."Attention please." Maxwell called and gently tapped the base of his gl
Rosie watched Owen as he smiled happily while chatting with God knows who on his cellphone. She sighed sadly. She was seated on a side stool placed beside him."Owen," she called him for the third time and just like before, she got no reply. Watching him resting his head on the couch while engrossed in his phone stepped on her anger scale. The deep purple curtain cast a dull purple shadow on her skin, her face glowed from the effect of the fluorescent bulb on the white painted wall and it registered no sign of smiles. A look at the clock showed that it was 8:43pm already, and she knew it was just a matter of time before Tessa, her flatmate, started bombarding her with messages and calls to be certain she was all right. Adjusting her position on the side stool, she turned her gaze back to Owen. "Owen, I'm talking to you." She called again, this time, tapping him gently on the shoulder. "You've been giving me the silent treatment, what is wrong with you?" She asked. "I've been giving
