Nek POVFad has been my business partner for the past 3 years; our companies most times collaborates, especially during busy seasons. Fad’s company “The Enterprise’ is highly popular and successful; and with our collaboration, sales had skyrocketed. The meeting with Fad today was to discuss our new brand of products that we are planning on jointly releasing, the meeting lasted for about 4 hours, but Fad never noticed time had gone; in fact I was the one who had to draw the meeting to a close.I glance at the clock- 10:50; I didn’t realize it was that late, I shut down my system, gather my briefcase and move towards the door while switching off my office lights.Why’s Taina still here; it dawns on me that I’m the one that kept her waiting; she could just have asked me to let her go early since she knows our meetings never end on time. But I guess my attitude earlier wasn’t helping matters.She’s bent over, with her head resting on the table and her hands in her laps; she makes this cu
Nek POVBy the time we get home; Taina’s had fallen asleep. I drive into the house noticing the Benz I gifted her; it has remained untouched since the incident with cete. To be honest I was a bit upset that she didn’t drive the car I gifted her; afterall the main purpose of the gift was for her to stop using the bus.But after our bits of conversation, I understand she’s just trying to keep things low key; her showing up with a Benz would only cause suspicions. Maybe I should increase her salary; that could help matters.“Taina”, I gently tap her; she rubs her eyes as she slowly takes note of her surroundings before her eyes finally land one me, “we’re home?” she sleepily asksI’m not big on placing sentimental attachment to houses; I have many houses all over Yula, I stay there as need arises. But when Taina refers to this place as home; it creates a warm fuzzy feeling in me, making me think about what could be if we give this marriage a chance.I’m attracted to Taina and I’ve grown
Taina POVNek must be crazy if he thinks I’m going to accept another car from him; I know he’s rich but I think this is just crazy, buying me two cars in the span of 5 days. “No, you’re not getting me a new car; I appreciate the thought but I can’t take another car from you” I say with a very determined look on my face.I know Nek thinks I’m stubborn and hard headed; maybe I am, but Nek is crazy sometimes. I think he needs to get his head checked, I steal a glance at Nek patiently waiting for his response; he looks mad, like he’s about to tick, but all he says is “okay , can we go”I’m suprised by his response; I can tell from the way the conversation ended that this is not the end, he’s going to pursue this later on and I don’t intend on giving in. In the real world if we were actually a couple, would we actually work? We are always butting heads; I guess that’s what happens when you put people with similar personalities together, two people who’d rather die than surrender to the oth
The aura feels different today than usual Mondays; Nek doesn’t glare at me, no rude comments, instead once in a while he smiles at me; and I’m obliged to return it, so as not to be rude. I’m a bit weirded out to be honest; but I would take this any day over his fury at work.The thought of Nek kissing me comes to mind which makes me blush; he kisses me at the most unexpected times, and I let him do so out of shock. I glance over at Nek and he’s vigorously typing on his computer; a moment ago he was busy shouting at one of the staff who had made a mistake in the company finance document draft; I felt bad for him, but I dare not interfere, lest Nek’s anger shifts to me and I’m caught in the loop.The business event is to be held today at 7pm; it is to be held at the magnificence, N'a prestigious hotel, one of Yila's most high class hotels. I’m usually responsible for such events that Nek holds thereby keeping me very busy throughout the day; but this year the job was delegated to Amelia
One more interview to go and I’d be done here; and headed back to the office. Surprisingly Nek hasn’t called me or texted me; usually when I leave the office, I’m always bothered by calls for Nek asking me where the documents are.“Hello, my name is Sabrina” the last model says, pulling me out of my thoughts. I offer a smile at her and beckon to her to take a seat, “may we begin”; she nods and then I start with the questions.“If Nek wanted to have an affair with you what would you do” I question while looking seriously at her.She bites her lips nervously; but still answers the question with confidence, “I would turn him down, that’s not part of our agreement”. I nod and I'm about to ask the same series of questions I asked the former girls but I decide not to ; and ask a different question just in case they’ve shared questions with one another.“Let’s say you’re are in an enclosed area with one of the rich guests at the event; and he’s offering you a lot of money to be his mistress.
At exactly 5:30pm, my phone rings; it’s an unknown number. I have no aversion to answering unknown numbers so I pick the call; while I simultaneously send out an email.“Hello”“Hi; this is Nicole your stylist. I’m waiting for you downstairs, so that we can begin”. I didn’t actually expect her to be exactly on time; I guess that’s why Nek pays good money.“Alright, I would be down in a minute”. Not wanting to keep her waiting; I finalize the email, grab my things and head downstairs.I see a red headed lady waving at me, I approach her; that might be Nicole. “Hi, im Nicole” she says, clearing my doubts about her identity.“Hello, nice to meet you” Nicole is very pretty; she has a slender figure and she’s quite tall and very stylish, offering credibility to her work as a stylist.“We’ll start with your hair”, she pulls me towards the vehicle and we head towards the salon. I can tell she’s excited cause she keeps tapping her foot; I keep wondering if this is her first time working with
The room is filled with so many distinguished guests; I’m in awe as I peek behind the curtains, waiting for Nek and I to be announced to the guests. My parents rarely bring me to such events; they believed that I was not of age to be brought often to this kind of events. To be honest I can’t say I complain, coming to this kind of event requires a lot of energy, one which I didn't want to spare at those moments; I'd rather be curled up on my bed reading or writing, my two favorite things to do.The fear of my parents being here keeps passing as a fleeting thought; as I keep trying to shake it off. Inwardly I know they wouldn’t be here, not because they aren’t of such class; but because this time of the year my parents travel to my maternal home. But the fear they could show up at any time grips me, afterall anything can happen.Nek seems to notice how tense I’ve gotten; he places his hands on my shoulder, “don’t worry; I’ve got you, okay”; I smile at him grateful for the encouragement
“Heyy Nicole” I softly say as I tap her lightly on the shoulder; that makes her jump a little, she turns around to see who had just interrupted her alone time with her sumptous dinner. At the sight of me her face lightens up and she looks relieved to see a familiar face, “hi” she responds with a glowing smile.“You didn’t tell me you were going to here, how did you have time to get ready, since you were busy styling me?” I question her wearing a playful smile.Nicole drops the plate of food in her hands on the table, she gestures for me to take a seat. I would have never noticed those seats if she never pointed them out, “you’re feet must be killing you, right!” she says reading my mind; “I actually arrived a little late to the party”, that answers the question to how she’s able to look so stunning this evening.“Have I told you look stunning this evening” I enthuse with a smile; “Thank you and you look absolutely wonderful yourself; if I compliment you any further, I’d be complimenti
