The strange lady felt that since she had a busy work schedule back home and her job was her only source of income, reporting to the Police would require staying back in Paris for a while but she had to return to work at all costs. Moreover, the guy that invited her had a powerful background and she thought of what if he used his influence to shut down the case or he implicates her wrongly. Who would she call to bail her out? She wasn’t from a well-to-do home so she had always done her things rightly without getting into trouble because she knew her parents didn’t have any connections in high places. She decided to accept her fate and never return to Paris for anything. This was a tough decision for her as she knew she had French blood in her because she was told that she communicated fluently in French when she was a toddler. She had always hoped that one day when she would have made enough money, she would return to France to find her French root but could it mean that this regretta
Before Alexandra could open her mouth to say ‘Good morning Sir’, Kirklin said to her as he walked into the meeting room “Xandra, why are you troubling yourself with all these documents? Shouldn’t Mrs. Shookus be the one to fix them up?”She didn’t expect her boss to come in this early so she was startled when she heard him call her in his usual warm way of addressing her by Xandra which always makes her feel an indescribable deep connection with him. “Oh good morning Sir…. erm… I asked Mrs. Shookus to stay back because she needed to help her best friend who had an emotional breakdown yesterday night”. Mrs. Shookus had been accommodating a woman in her house for the past 20 years and they had become best friends. Some unknown circumstances happened 20 years ago when the woman was involved in a road accident that made her lose her memory. She became homeless after she was discharged from the hospital and it was during that period that Mrs. Shookus met her in the city center. She fel
As he hugged her tightly, it was like the floodgate of tears in her eyes was opened and her tears rolled down uncontrollably. This kind of hug was the appropriate comfort she needed right now and Kirklin pacified her as much as he could so she could feel better. He too wasn’t in the right frame of mind for the meeting but he had to fly into London to attend so the company could make huge progress in the coming weeks. He had been unhappy from last night’s incident as he was disturbed by the fact that he had emergency sex with an innocent virgin. He worried about how much sorrow would be in the lady’s heart because she probably never planned to be drugged much less have sex with a stranger in a restroom. In Alexandra’s case, what happened was that she had honored an invite to an event and it didn’t turn out well as some awry things happened that left her with no choice but to have sex with someone she didn’t know and she had been devastated since the encounter. As Kirklin pacified her
As he got into his car, he suddenly started to feel pains from the slap and the spot was very warm, swollen and red.He got to the GP’s office where the wound was dressed and minor surgery was carried out to stitch the cut. A butterfly bandage was put on the stitched spot and he was given some medications to clear the redness in his eye, relieve pains, and stop the bleeding but was advised to eat before taking the drugs. An ointment was applied to his face to clear the fingerprints and swelling and he was told it would clear up within 30 minutes.Kirklin stopped by a drive-through eatery and bought a meal so he could eat and take the medication.As soon as he got to his office car park, he ate a little meal just so he could take the drugs. He had a loss of appetite due to all that had been happening to him since the previous night.He looked at the time and it was about 10.25 am but the fingerprints and redness were yet to clear out completely. He put on his fashion glasses and decide
Alexandra hadn’t had the time to go to the pharmacy to buy emergency contraception because she got back to London very early and had been in a meeting since then.Although her clothing was smeared with a combination of secretions last night, she wasn’t sure if the guy played safe enough. It would be disgraceful if she got pregnant from the act as she didn’t know how she would raise a child whom she didn’t know the father.She decided to take a bus to the nearby pharmacy to buy the ‘morning-after pill’ to avoid ‘stories that touch the heart’. She searched her phone for information on how long someone can wait before taking the morning-after pill and breathed a sigh of relief when she got to know that she still had a couple of days to use it.She alighted at the bus stop which wasn’t far from the pharmacy and briskly walked towards the pharmacy.Lo and behold, she saw her tall and handsome boss walking towards the pharmacy as well and she changed course at once. She turned her back pret
As soon as Kirklin got on board, he had a light meal and did an internet call to check up on all members of his family including his grandparents to know how they were faring. Before he knew it, his 1 hour 15 minutes flight was getting ready for landing.By the time he got off the aircraft, he turned off the airplane mode on his phone and a couple of messages dropped but he was too busy to check them. He moved to his hotel immediately, dropped his luggage in his room, and then proceeded to the police station thereafter.On getting to the station, the efficient officer informed him that one of their bosses had just authorized the release of Mr. Gary and his family as was the norm whenever they had a police case.Kirklin wasn’t surprised because Mr. Gary appeared to be a crooked person so he calmly asked: "Does this boss of yours know how horrendous this case is?""Well, I should think he must have done his homework before authorizing their release because I don't know where he always g
Kirklin had saved Alexandra’s number with a special ringtone so he knew she was the one calling. He hurriedly did his thing in the bathroom, washed his hands, and went to pick up his phone but the call went off as soon as he wanted to answer it.He threw a fist in the air “Damn it”.He was actually very happy she called him because he thought she must have been very upset to the extent of not responding to the apology note he dropped on her desk.While he thought, she called again and he answered immediately.He moved to the living area of his suite to pick up the eye drop on the table and he then sat on the couch.“Hello,” He said“Hello Sir… em… {she didn’t know how to start} … just wondering why you didn’t reply to my text message since Saturday,” She said in a sober way.“Text message….Oh…?” It was then he realized he hadn’t checked his messages since he got off the plane on Saturday and he put the phone on speaker so he could go through his messages. He found hers and opened it a
Kirklin boarded his flight to Germany looking dapper in a white tucked-in dress shirt which accentuated his well-toned physique and he matched it with a navy blue pair of trousers. He had his sunglasses on which gave him a really cool look. He eagerly looked forward to seeing Alexandra in about 2 hours. Prior to the landing of his flight, he checked for the terminal gate where her flight would arrive because he planned on waiting for her at her arrival gate so they could leave for the hotel together. As soon as his flight landed in Germany, he moved over to her gate to wait for her. On Alexandra’s part, to say that she was nervous was an understatement. She didn’t understand why she felt anxious to see her boss. She knew he had forgiven her and she hoped to use the short period they would be together to right her wrongs and renew her image before him. Her flight arrived earlier than scheduled and her plan was to call Kirklin after picking up her luggage. Surprisingly, as she walke
