James:
“Yes Clarice, how are you?” I answered the call. Clarice, my dear mom would religiously call up every single day to check up on me. I was adopted when I was two from Wichita’s children home in Kansas, ever since then she has smothered me with

Bridget:“Hey Bridget, what are you doing here?” he asked smiling, I could see how surprised he was to see me from the look on that handsome face I couldn’t wait to kiss. Soon you will be mine James Holt!

Bridget:The bedroom was a stark contrast from the art gallery themed living room. There was a huge leather headboard surrounded by a four poster bed. Weird! I thought I wouldn’t see one in this century. The globe pendant lights and a stunning Robert Vandal chan

James:Beep beep, the alarm for 6 am went off as I reached out to slam it for a couple more minutes. My head hurts as though someone hit it against a wall. Arghhhh I open my eyes, everything appears to be blurred out, and end up blinking a few times to see thing

Ella:“Hey Jen, how’s it going?” I entered her cabin for probably one of my last meetings.“Hey Ella, I have been good, what about you?” she asked sympathetically knowing it had not been easy ever since she had asked me to drop in my papers.“To be honest, I have been working hard to stay, hoping Alfatel completes the process so that it can reflect on my targets but it will take two more weeks so sigh!” I reply, feeling dejected.“Alright, at least it seems to be progressing, any updates on the Holt account?” she enquired.“Well, they themselves scheduled a follow up meeting with me today at 3 pm so I hope something fruitful comes out of it!” I exclaim optimistically“I hope so too, even if you get me a signed contract, I can negotiate with the board to let you stay. Also wanted to remind you that next week will be your last if this doesn’t work out. I will always wish the very best for you Ella” she replied warmly.As I exited her cabin, I went straight to my desk to prepare for the f

James:“So Mr. Holt did you consume a drink or two more than what you normally would have?” Dr. Gene asked. I had called our in house medic to briefly assess my case as I had been feeling uneasy all morning.“No, I just had a glass of champagne, post which I appeared to be dazed, my head started hurting and everything eventually blurred out. Today when I got up in the morning, it took me a good few minutes to even stand erect. More surprisingly, for someone with the memory of an elephant, I cannot seem to recollect even a single moment from last night” I explained frustrated beating myself over and over again about last night’s events. What if I actually slept with Bridget and she was telling the truth? “What about the rest of the day before that? Have you experienced such situations or symptoms before?” he investigated further.“No Doctor, I’m generally quite a social drinker other than an occasional drink at night perhaps but I do know my limits” I replied earnestly.The doctor chec

Ella:I need to focus on giving my best shot for the next few days. It was turning out to be incredibly difficult to deal with Mr. Holt. Maybe that’s why Joe and all the others warned me beforehand. I was seething with anger after storming out of the office the other day after he rudely dismissed me “How dare he? What does he think of himself? He can shov

Ella:I just kept staring at Vanessa as she walked away, trying to digest the new information that jolted the hell out of me. Why would Mr. Johnson lie about his business objectives when Mr. Holt was investing in his company’s expansion? Unless……(thinking hard) he was offered this option only if he……(analyzing) withdrew his business alliance with…...Accent!I gasp as I derive the precise conclusion. What else could it be? I couldn’t fathom any other reason. Why does Mr. Holt not want Accent dealing with Alfatel? We are not even based around the construction sector. Is he such a maniac that my refusal to drop Atkinson plc from our client list is taking a toll on his ego? That someone can walk away from the business deal he is offering?He wants Holt Enterprises to be my only option! That’s it! I shake my head disillusioned all these days for a tiny part of me craved to be with him but that’s all his
