Christian's POV. "So, you mean to tell me that, Mr. Frederick has refused to abide by the rules I gave him and went on to do his own thing? He is even planning on launching an attack on me and also spreading false rumors about me over the internet?" I looked over at Tony as we sat around the dining table. I had called him earlier yesterday, but he told me he was busy and only come this morning so that we could talk about what was going on and here he was telling me about Mr. Frederick who has refused to abide by the rules I gave him.This man sure didn't know who exactly he was playing with."Exactly what I heard him say. I know there was something off about that man, the moment I went to his office. To clear my doubts, I keep an eye on him and every step he made and that is exactly the information I got from him."I slammed my fist on the table in anger because I couldn't believe that after all that he had done, instead of giving him a great punishment, I decided to give him s
Lucy's POV. Christian and I had left work early because we had to go meet my mother. I had called and told her that, I will be coming over with a guest. I didn't tell her wo it was. I didn't want her to be all over the place."You can park your car here." I pointed at the empty parking lot. He nodded and drove us over.When he was fully parked, we got down from the car and made our way to the door.As we walked through the front door, I could feel my excitement mingling with nervousness. I had no idea how my mother would react to seeing the famous Mr. Christian in person. She had heard about him. But I doubted if she had ever seen him in person. "Mom, I'm home!" I called out, pushing the front door open as Christian and I entered the house.My mother stood up from her favourite spot in te living room, her eyes widening as she caught sight of Christian beside me. "Lucy, is that... is that Mr. Christian?" she asked, her voice filled with surprise.I couldn't contain my grin as I nodd
Lucy. All the workers at Harrison Journal sat around the conference table at the center of the meeting room, waiting for Mr. Frederick to show up. He had called a meeting early this morning. I doubt what the meeting was all about, that it had to be held so early, given that we usually have our meetings at noon. Moments later, the door to the meeting room swung open and Mr. Frederick, graciously mapped in, with his usual straight face hung up high, like he owned the world. The moment my eyes caught sight of him, I became a sweating mess. The packet of chips I held in my hands almost fell. I bowed my head and looked at the floor because I didn't want to meet his eyes. I didn't want memories of what he tried to do to me in his office to resurface again. He had been trying to do that to me for about two months now, but I couldn't tell anyone, because he had threatened me with the life of my mother and younger brother. He further went ahead to threaten me with my job, given that it wa
Lucy. With delight, I sat on the bed, with my legs crossed. I squinted my eyes at the screen light and read the message carefully. "First, business matters with me are not discussed through emails." Oops! I was not expecting that. I went ahead to read the second message. "Secondly, Every business problem should be brought to my office." I shut the laptop and placed it back on the table. This meant that I would be going to Caspian Power tomorrow. I felt anxious, I felt scared at the same time. I have never been there, and I have never interacted with an important person like Mr. Christian before. Of course, my Boss, Mr. Frederick, was a famous man, but not as famous as Mr. Christian. I was not even a worker there, which made everything difficult for me. I sat in bed, with my eyes closed. I made a sign of the cross and asked God to give me the grace to deal with this. After that, I got out of bed. I went to my closet and rummaged through it. I had to choose my best clothes
Lucy. "Lock her up!" I ran to the door, as the words replayed in my head. "Open the damn door and let me out." I kicked and banged at the door of the room I was locked inside. Seeing that, no one was coming anytime soon, I took the red blazer off my body and made my way to the end of the room, and sat in a green deck chair that was at the far end of the room. It was the only thing inside the room. I wonder what the room was used for. I waited patiently for someone to come and open the door but no one showed up. An hour had gone by with no one coming to open the door for me. Unable to take it anymore, I walked to the door and started hitting it again. "Just let me out and I promise not to come back." A tear rolled down my cheek as I turned and leaned my back against the door. If I had known, I would have listened to my mother and quit working for Mr. Frederick. Still, I had come a long way to give up. Click!Click! The sound of the door clicking made me step away from
Christian. "How's my schedule for tomorrow?" I asked Miss Juliette, who was sitting across from me, with the buttons of her pink shirt taken off, she kept touching herself and licking her tongue with her eyes not leaving my face. She was probably going to get what she has been asking for. I stood up from my desk and pushed the black chair I was sitting on behind me. I took my black coat off my body and hung it on the chair. "Why don't we get this done with…" She placed her hands on her large boobs and looked at me with a menacing smile plastered on her artificial face. She poke her lips as she further splayed her legs on the chair she was seating on and I caught a glimpse of the red underwear she had on. I pulled my tie off my neck and walked over to her. I roughly grabbed her by her neck and made her stand up. "Look at me" I commanded and she did with her eyes blinking with fear. I leaned slowly towards her lips and watched as she closed her eyes. "If you still want to
Lucy. What was Mr. Christian doing at the hospital? And he looked so pissed off. It looked like he was scolding the doctor because he stopped the moment I entered. That son of a bitch. I almost got into an argument with Mr. Frederick this morning, because he wouldn't listen to me. He insisted I continue to persuade Mr. Christian to accept his offer or I would sleep with him and if I deny, he would fire me and I couldn't let that happen. "How did you even get hurt like this?" Brandon Walked and sat next to me, watching as I cleaned the bruises on my knees. "I have asked her too, but she wouldn't tell me." My mother confirmed, coming towards us with a green bowl with hot water inside, and a white towel. She was going to use it to massage the areas on my legs where I had bruises. I couldn't tell them what happened. I had this bruised on my leg because of Mr. Christian. He had dragged me on the floor without a care in the world, though I begged him not too. My mother would
Lucy."Umm..." he wanted me to be his cleaner. I was lost for words and didn't know how to respond to that. I thought he was just going to agree with the reason I came here and that would be it. Even if I needed another job so badly, it wouldn't be a cleaning job."What do you say? Or do you want some time to think about it?" He leaned forward and rested his hands on the table in front of him, with his lips in a thin line.I adjusted myself on the chair in front of him. I don't even need the job, so giving me time to think about it, would be useless."I have a job already and I don't need one. I only came here for negotiation and not for a job interview."I blankly said."You know, I'm a busy man. You should be thankful that, I allowed you to seat in front of me, because not many low-life people like you, would have that opportunity."Low life? My fist tightened at my side, my jaws clenched when he said that.I was not a low life, I was doing just fine until Mr. Frederick had to put
