Chapter 8: The Cop 2
Nicholas and I talked about Raymond yesterday, after which I returned back to my workspace at our floor. I was so happy the fact that things were going to be fine for Raymond, Nicholas had promised to stop the director from transferring him back to Crudetown.
When I returned back to our floor, Lena approached me aggressively and began asking series of questions. She wanted to know what took me to the CEOs office and why I went directly to him without her permission. Like seriously? Did I really need her permission to see our overall boss?
Anyways, I had nothing to hide so I told her what took me to his office. She became more furious, threatening to report me to the Director for defiling his judgement about reposting Raymond to Crudetown. I had to implore her to change her mind because I wasn't ready to be in trouble with anybody.
When I returned back home, I saw a police patrol car packed in our compound with someone leaning on it. It wa

Replacement CEO Chapter 9: A ride home
Today I woke up with badluck, I couldn't get my car started. It was strange because I came back home yesterday and it sounded just fine, what then could be wrong? I believed it wasn't the gas because I had plenty of that in the tank, and it wasn't as if my battery was down as far as I could say. The car just couldn't revive. Thus, I decided to leave the car at home and get myself a taxi around the streets. But before then I had called one of my mechanics and told him to come and check the car later. When I arrived at work, I was told the Director wanted to see me before I could even step into the elevator. To say I was dumbfounded is an understatement. Was it about Raymond's transfer? Did Lena told him everything despite having begged her not to a day prior? I wondered. When I arrived at the office I saw Raymond already there, they stopped talking and the Director asked me to sit in the other visitor's chair facing him. I nodded in acknowledgeme
Replacement CEO Chapter 10: Botel
Lena drove me home and left without even saying goodbye, it was as if the lift she offered me wasn't out of kindness but something else. She was probably trying to prevent me from getting closer to Nicholas.Anyways, the following day I was able to meet Nicholas in the cafeteria. Perhaps someone told him I was there, he came and sat close to me. He placed an order for a steak sandwich and a non-alcoholic beer."How was Lena's drive yesterday, great?" he asked smiling."Yeah, great" I nodded, smiling back at him."Good, do you live around St. Paul's bridge?" he asked."No," I shook my head, "East Main Street""Oh, nice. Not that far from here" he said."Yeah" I nodded in affirmative.In less than a minute, one of the waiters brought his order to the table.We started talking about family and he told me he missed his stepsister, as well as stepmother. I asked about his stepfather and he told me he missed him too."D

Someone that hated guys in fear lest history repeats itself!I had wanted asking her about it when she returned back home but then I later changed my mind to avoid implicating Victoria. Actually, there was no way I could bring the issue up without telling her how I found out about it.Victoria had made me vowed not to implicate her, she knew my mom could call her or even stop her from coming over to our house if I implicate her.

Replacement CEO Chapter 12: New ride
Every staff in our floor wondered what was going on and who Lena spoke about on phone. It was as if someone she knew was involved in an accident, someone very dear to her. Who could that possibly be? People were busy murmuring when I decided everyone should return back to their work. "I am sure whatever is going on, Lena will apprise us when she comes back" I added and watched as they obeyed my command. I sat in my desk and began my work for the day, unfortunately my mind was filled with Lena's thoughts. I decided to call her but she didn't pick. I had to drop a voice message for her, hoping to hear from her soon. Some hours later, the sound of computer keyboards that dominated the floor recently was no longer heard. In astonishment, I rose my head to see what was going on. Thus, I noticed everyone had stopped typing. I almost yelled at them to continue with their work when suddenly my attention was caught up by the sight

We didn't leave the restaurant until he was finally done with his fries, and by then Lena had already sent me a voice message telling me I am fucked. Which obviously meant she would deal with me.When we returned back to our head office, Nicholas and I took separate elevators. He headed to his floor and I headed to our floor. He had told me not to worry about Lena.Like seriously? Why wouldn't I be worried? She might not have the power to fire me but she could definitely make sure I don't enjoy working under her. Trust me, Lena could be so mean at times.When I stepped out of the elevator into our floor she started yelling at me and demanding to know where I went to and why. I didn't want to lie, at the same time I was scared of telling her the truth."Am I talking to a deaf, answer me Stella!" she uttered.Suddenly, her phone rang and she picked it up. She talked for
Replacement CEO Chapter 14: Back home
Ever since Nicholas promoted me to Assistant Chief Editor, he had been coming to our floor to check on me. Sometimes we would go out to eat lunch and sometimes he would order someone to get something for us.Throughout those days, I learned a lot about him and his family. I learned that his parents separated when he was a child and his mother took him away, he never saw his father again.I also learned about his stepfather and stepsister, he said they were nice and he loved them. He made joke with me that one day he would take me to see them, hence I asked him WHY and he told me because I was special.Today after a brief meeting in the conference room, Lena approached me and asked if we could have a talk in private. I didn't like the idea of us being alone in private but also didn't want to turn down her request down, so I agreed.We went to the washroom and she told me people were already talking about me and Nicholas, that we wer

Unfortunately he wasn't able to see my mom because she didn't return back yesterday, she must have slept at work or at a friend's house.Verily I couldn't reach her on phone in time and when I eventually did she told me she was fine. She didn't mention her whereabout though, and I never really cared to ask so far she's safe and sound.I prepared breakfast for both me and Nicholas, after which he drove us both to work. This time around I was conformable driving with him, and the rumblings of the engine of his L-spot didn't bother me like it used to.With each u-turn made, I would glance at him. And with each word he uttered, I would found myself smiling and craving to hear more of his voice. What was wrong with me? What was with the sudden change in me?When we arrived at work, people stared at us as we headed to separate elevators. Actually I used to feel uncomforta
