BOARD ROOM.
Lennox was in a sour mood, hence why he found the littlest reason to lash out at any discrepancies that cropped up in his manager's report. It didn't sit well with him that he had been genuinely happy for a moment when he deserved to be sad all the time, he also didn't like the low-profit margin he was seeing in their monthly report."You're telling me this is all we have so far, no increase at all this month" he directed at Jonathan."Sir Lennox, this year, I mean to say that the midyear sales are usually this low, because of the heat, people don't feel the need to explore, travel or try new things, they prefer to stay home where it's more comfortable, hence why they don't patronize our business". Jonathan replied, looking to the others for support."Are you going to give me such a cheap excuse, because of all the things I expected, it was not that. People don't want to buy our items?" He scoffed, his hard gaze cutting at Jonathan. "Need I remiLennox stepped into his office, stopping in his tracks as he noticed that everything had been cleaned and arranged. A strawberry smoothie graced the center of his, with an energy bar. The review of the financial reports was placed neatly on his desk, she had highlighted all the important details making it a lot easier. He looked around for the phone he had smashed, searching the waste bin but coming up with nothing. He stepped towards his desk, picking up the paper underneath the smoothie.Dear sir.Don't worry about the phone, I already got a new one. The smoothie is to make your day brighter and enjoy the additional snack. I already reviewed the report, so that's cleared off your schedule for today. Have a nice day sir Lennox Ray".Your assistant.Lennox read and read it again, remembering the day before, how he'd shouted at her and smashed her phone. He felt horrible, even tho he'd been at breaking point, his head on the verge of exploding, he shouldn't have taken his anger out on
Andria's Apartment."Let's face it you all, we are stuck with bossy jerks, gosh, damn it all". Bianca said, wriggling her legs under the sheets which covered the four of them. A large bowl of sweets and chocolate took the center space.Sophia stuffed her mouth, chewing as she spoke. "Yeah, Len just pisses me off every second of the day. I mean I am being extremely nice to him and he didn't even have the courtesy of saying sorry, it's a freaking nightmare".Sana tugged at her hair. "Oliver wants me to get him a freaking girlfriend, or else he's going to get me fired, by not taking the competition seriously, you'd think he might value his work even just a little bit, but he doesn't, what can I do girls".They all listened to her whine, before Sophia flopped back, looking at the ceiling."You'll have to get him a girlfriend then".Bianca shook her head, pulling Sophia into a seating position."Hell no, don't do it, Sana, you know how Oliver breaks up with his girlfriend, he's so heartles
Lennox ran his fingers through his hair, messing up his hard labor of making it slick and straight. He hadn't been sleeping well, not when thoughts of what his new assistant would be up to the next day plagued his mind like a virus. He'd come to anticipate a surprise whenever he stepped into his office, so he was shocked when he saw his empty desk.Did she quit already? Was it because I didn't apologize for her phone?. He questioned himself, ruining his hair further in frustration. He didn't want to care, wasn't this what he wanted, her leaving because she couldn't take it anymore. It was, but he felt awful. He almost sighed in relief when the door opened and she stepped in with her blinding wide smile, her eyes shining at him. He found it hard to breathe for a second. "Good morning sir Lennox, you must have been surprised because I didn't come in earlier right?" She asked excitedly, as she waited for him to answer."I wasn't waiting for you," he said, avoiding her gaze, he tried not
Oliver's thighs bounded excitedly as he sat waiting, he couldn't quite believe how fast it was that his assistant managed to get him a girlfriend, he just hoped she wouldn't be as boring as the last one."What's taking her so long, I don't like to be kept waiting, or is she planning to bail on me," he said gasping. No one ghosted Oliver Leo, this was unacceptable, he thought as his gaze darted to the door. He checked his watch, an hour had passed.He glanced up from his watch as he heard footsteps approaching his table, then froze as time seemed to come to stop.Beautiful... Red heals a white dress that made her look like an angel, a silver necklace that rested on her smooth pale neck, almost like a caress, sleek blond wavy curls, and the face of his assistant Sana.He jerked, leaping from his seat in surprise. "Sana, what are you doing here, and you look different, are you meeting someone," he asked, looking around at the few people that occupied the restaurant.Sana smiled, then st
Here we go again, Sophia thought as she ran after Lennox to tell him his next schedule even after countless times he'd told her not to. Lennox approached the elevator, Sophia caught up with him, then pressed the elevator open button for him to get inside. Sophia turned to go take the stair but the warm hand wrapping around her wrist had her breath hitching, as she whirled to face him before her gaze dropped to where his hands held her. He seemed to realize the contact and he jerked his hand to his side, avoiding her gaze as he cleared his throat."You can ride the elevator with me" he stated and Sophia almost threw a fist in the air after getting over her initial surprise. She stepped in, glancing at him from the corner of her eyes as the elevator closed. Sophia pressed against the wall as the elevator suddenly became too small to house the man who seemed to suck in all the space around him, she felt as if there was something about him that tugged at her, pushing her to want to get c
Sophia gasped tumbling back on her ass as Lennox's eyes blinked open. In a moment of sheer panic, she crawled towards the side of the bed, lying low and wishing that the floor would swallow her, or at the least merge with her.Lennox squinted drowsily, his eyes drifting around the room before he flopped back on the bed in exhaustion."You won't let me have even a peaceful sleep, will you" he muttered, messing up his hair as he got comfortable.Sophia held her breath, staying still even when it felt like her heart was about to burst out of her chest. She berated herself for keeping the camera flash on without even realizing it. What if he decided to use the restroom, he'd have to put his feet over the side of the bed, the same side she was on. Sophia shook her head, as she started crawling towards the door, she was almost there when her leg hit the table where an array of beautiful vases was displayed, she stared wide-eyed as one of the vases tethered, then fell over with a loud crash a
Sophia dragged her hand through her hair, sighing as her mind drifted to all the problems that seemed to be hanging over her head. seeking respite she picked up her phone, scrolling through her apps. Sophia sighed as she clicked on the camera roll, and the first picture that caught her eyes had her seating straighter as she glanced around to see if anyone was staring at her.The life of a criminal, Sophia muttered in her head, staring at the image of Lennox on his bed. Sophia gaped, memorizing every little detail, a smile tugging on her lips."Why are you grinning at your phone," Tzuyu said making Sophia jump, automatically slamming her phone on the table before she could stop herself. Sophia glared at Tzuyu who looked amused."Can you not sneak up on people, I almost died just now, you scared the crap out of me" she got out shakily, as she placed her phone back into her purse.Tzuyu crossed her arms. "What's these vibes I'm getting from you, Sophia? You seemed suspicious so I wanted
Bianca stepped towards Andria, grabbing at the sleeves of her dress, before muttering under her breath. "Hey, Andria, that was harsh, can you stop already".Andria jerked her dress away from Bianca. "Don't tell me to stop, because you all know I'm saying the truth, Sophia doesn't have to stress the way we do, isn't that why you have time to go eating and laughing with Jonathan, when did you two start being friends, huh?".Sophia was taken aback, realizing why Andria looked so mad at her. "He was my senior in college, we haven't even talked in a while, so when he said to have lunch, I didn't see anything wrong with it... Wait is that the reason you're attacking me in this manner, I know you two are together Andria, did you think I was trying to steal your boyfriend" she asked, feeling bitter that Andria would even assume that she was capable of stooping that low as to attempt to take her boyfriend. Andria stared at her with her chin up, her lips pressed tightly together as she crossed
