"But Leonard,.." Rebecca tried to start, not understanding the sudden decisions.
"It's Mr Black to you, I have tolerated enough indiscipline from you, I won't have my Worker calling me by my name". He said cutting her short, He saw the way her face frowned at the mention of worker, she looked around to see everyone looking at her in shock, they didn't expect their boss lady to be shouted at, But he was the real boss and he was back."Mr Black most of these workers are trusted employees that have been with us the longest, I can't just fire them." Rebecca said trying to persuade him.
"Even I agree sir, A worker like Chef Grots is by far our best chef and experienced man, if we fire him we loose him to a better company or worse him starting his own restaurant". Jake said trying to pacify him too, he thought about it more after hearing jakes opinion,
"Okay, Remove the names of your most important employees, but leave the employees wi
Chapter 20 đ Thanks for coming this far, Although we are just getting started.
âMeredith was the love of his lifeâ. Jason Said to her, before downing his Drink. Graceâs drink Dropped from her hand to the table, Itâs content threatened to spill but with the distant being so near, it couldnât. She ignored the Occurrence and fell back to her seat, much like an act of defeat, instead of the I test which Jason was Hoping and waiting for her to have. âOhâ, Jason heard her say, a one syllable word that left nothing more to question or understand. âWhy did you ask?â, Jason asked her, He wanted to inquire, bit tried to be casual about it. âI have heard a lot, Just thought to knowâ. Grace said looking away, Her bright face had deemed and the most interesting thing was now her meal which she was hardly interested in. âEveryone tries to know, Mr Black is a man of Mystique,â Jason Tittered, âMuch could be rumour, but there is always truth lying in betweenâ. Jason said again. Grace looked up this time, She knitted her brow at him, She won
Ominous Pov The Sweet Shop was packed with employees, Mem and woman sat in pairs, Groups of Threes and fours, Some even merged tables together to form a group of eight as they chatted away, Grace surveyed the area as she walked in with Jason, She barely spotted a table at the very end with two Empty chairs, Perfect!. She thought. âThere is a table with empty chairs, I think one of us should secure it while the other gets the meal, Hmm?â. Grace asked. âThat isnât a question, Text me your order, Iâll get it for youâ, Jason said pushing her ahead. Grace wanted to object but Jason was pessimistic, she reached to open her purse but Jason immediately stopped her, âItâs on Me Grace!â. Grace shyly Dropped her purse. âOkayâ. She managed to say before walking away . Jason made his way to the long unmoving line while Grace made her way to the seat. Grace sat down and dropped the contents in her hand on the table. She grabbed her phone and quickly texted her order to James, before dropping it
Work was exhausting, I had barely Arranged all the files assigned before the time was up, I was exhausted after the two hours was up. Emotionally drained, I managed to move awayâ with the hefty documents, I took them from my desk and made my way to Ms. Denverâs office. Her Office felt more father than before, bit I knew it was my mind playing tricks. I Knocked twice, Before waiting for a âCome Inâ, But I heard none, Rather the Door opened and Gerard walked gracefully out after I stepped to the side. I turned towards his desk, I was confused and the look on my face confirmed it to him, âI didnât see You Get upâ. Gerard pouted, We were still standing at entrance of Ms. Denverâs office, âWell you seemed very invested in your worked..â, He narrowed his eyes at me, âAnd I donât think I should report where I go to you huh?â. Stupid Me,!, âSure, Well I should go drop this inâ. I said and Gerard moved for me to enter. I quickly moved to Ms Denverâs table, I laid out the Files on her table
The Tour around Black Entertainment was simple and quick, We had successfully moved around the 22 floors of the huge building and were making our way back to Doris Denverâs office. âThank you for the tour Miss Alexâ, Louisa said politely, Miss Alex turned slightly and gave her a polite smile, from the corner of my eyes I saw Gerard roll his eyes to spite her. I said nothing. The elevator soon released a 'ding' sound and the doors opened ajar for us to pass through. We did not head for Mrs Denverâs office anymore, rather we passed through a door besides Mrs Denverâs office and found ourselves in a busy office of approximately fourteen people with two empty chairs. The office seemed to have been designed in sections that only added to the beauty and architectural intelligence on itâs designed, I gasped at the clean and seemingly healthy working environment. It matched up to the standard and name that came with Black Entertainment. âGerard and Louisa , you both will work directly und
Doris Denver sat crossed legged on the Black wooden seat hidden behind the huge office desk at the centre. A slow jazz song played through the huge office and D.D moved her head slowly to the sound of the song while her eyes followed the pages of the file she was flipping in her hands. Two persons, A man and A woman both dressed in cooperate attire stood in front of the desk with their hands both folded to the back. Grace walked into the office with her tiptoe and her head first making sure not to make a noise. Once in, She tried closing the door gently behind herself, but that was a huge fail. Her plan to be discreet was a fail as the door made a creek sound once it connected to the wall. The eyes of the three persons in the room immediately turned to face her. D.D who was reading a file closed it up and placed it on the table before pulling her glasses and placing it on the table. âWelcome Miss Win
The scent of lavender filled Graceâs nostrils as she stepped into the office. The office was similar to Mr Black's office, it was Big and had a mix of all shades of Grey and Black, it was a calm office, one that seemed to resonate with the owner. The only pop of colour were the lavender Flowers that was situated at the four corners of the room. As Grace walked into the office, She immediately spotted Mrs Smart sitting upright on her chair behind her table with her arms crossed. Miranda looked a bit different from the first time Grace had seen her. Standing in front of her soon to be boss in such proximity and clearer mind, she was able to examine her soft features and hard exterior. Miranda was a beautiful middle aged woman, just like all the women Grace had seen earlier, she resonated her own beauty and was pretty in her skin. She had a bright glossy skin that complimented the dark velvet red gown and gold jewelry she had
Heading Back to Black Entertainment the next day felt nostalgic to Grace. The feeling of excitement mixed with fear and anxiety remained the same, like the first day she had walked through the huge doors of the building in hopes for a better life. Grace clutched on to the little blue file in her hand, one that contained the unprofessional CV she had managed to create after deciding not to cry again and finally searching on the internet as she wasnât experienced in creating one. Graceâs eyes were puffy, and her naturally blue eyes were red, She had cried for the whole of the night only stopping when she remembered she had a job the next day. Grace stood In front of the huge building with a smile, Though she was scared inside, she decided not to tremble from it, rather, She put on a cool exterior and walked into the office. Grace partially knew her way around the company, She could remember some faces especially Jane a receptionist at the main lobby who
Chapter 39 âYouâre here early, No calls from daddy I seeâ. A brown haired lady comments as she enters the room of the cafĂ©. âWell the faster we get things moving, The better for usâ. Rebecca said barely smiling. The woman sauntered into her seat which had been pulled over my a male waiter, who threw both ladies a smile. âYouâre coming home with me later â. Rebecca said winking at him. The waiter smiled more before heading out of the secluded room âStill a hoe huh?â The woman snarklily remarked. âAnd youâre always a pain in the ass,â Rebecca said raising her eyebrows, âBut thatâs not why weâre hereâ. Rebecca sat upright, crossed her legs over, she looked all around before speaking. â Itâs going too slow, The boy isnât doing much, we donât have enough timeâ. Rebecca's eyes wandered as she spoke. The woman took a whiff
Chapter 38 Lâorange wasnât too far from where she stood, a few turns to the left and she was standing face to face with the gigantic store that seemed too Porsche for her. Grace slouched her shoulders, taking in a huge breath as she stared through the transparent doors of the huge building. Women of all ages chatted inside while a group of ladies dressed in a particular style , black pencil skirt, white button dress suits , a blue silk scarf tied to the left, black panty hose and their hair braided neatly to a bun. They looked oddly similar, but very beautiful women. At first glance at the slightly taller one in the store that caught her attention, she could tell she was working there. Grace gathered herself, envelope in hand and her cross bag to the side, she walked her way inside with the help of a man in black suit one who she assumed to be a guard. She politely greeted the man however not earning a response ba
