Donald watched Helma through his read window as she entered a taxi. His mind kept repeating "it's a date" and it kept making his stomach tighten at the thought. He tried his best to not trail but head home, but he couldn't. He trailed behind her taxi for twenty minutes and finally stopped few meters away from a coffee shop. He saw Helma come down for the taxi and a familiar face handing her a flower. Helma collected the flowers with a smile.Helma's smile annoyed Donald. "How could she smile at flowers" he complained to himself hitting the steering. He watched Helma and Jay walk inside the coffee shop. He got more angrier when Jay held Helma's waist. Donald puffed out air from his mouth and drove back home. He kept reminding himself "She is just an employee and her personal life is none of my business" but the more he said those words to himself the more pissed he became. He drove at high speed trying to burn away his anger, but it increased."Good evening sir. Welcome back" Peter gre
"Why would you treat a lady like that! That attitude is disgusting and I hate it. She is my friend and colleague, I invited her for coffee and you Interrupted and humiliated her in front of everyone? How could you?" Jay questioned Clara. Clara flared up "wow! You should be ashamed for lying. Coffee and you were holding her like that? I saw how she threw herself at you and you fell for it" she snapped back at Jay. Jay looked at Clara surprised. He tried to talk to her but she wasn't buying any of his words. "If you keep acting this way Clara, I would be disgusted. What the hell are you blabbing?. It is obvious you hate a thing against Helma. Sort it out and don't try to accuse her of nothing. For heaven's sake, you just humiliated that lady. Don't you feel bad?" Jay asked Clara fustrated. He walked out of the cafe and Clara chased after him. "What about our date Jay" Clara asked softened. Jay looked at her coldly " there is no date! You ruined my day and embarrassed m
Clara stopped at the door and turned around "here your phone" she said extending the phone to Helma. Immediately,she dropped the phone deliberately "oops it broke" she said with an evil smile and walked away. Helma picked up her broken phone and locked her door. She laid on her bed motionless. She had no words or no tears anymore. She laid down and allowed her tears flow down her cheeks. She never imagine it would be so difficult to cope with Clara. Helma tried to sleep, she tossed around her bed for hours. She went downstairs to fix herself some warm milk to help her sleep. Helma stood in the kitchen turning the warm milk from the sauce pan to a glass when she noticed a huge shadow. Helma frightened, turned around to see the shadow. It was Donald. She sighed in relief. "Somebody is having trouble sleeping" Donald's deep voice echoed in the kitchen. "Make that glass two" he commanded heading to the dinning table.Helma placed the two glasses of milk on a platter and walked to the d
Being hitted on the head, Helma woke up in shock. She saw Donald standing away from her. She immediately rushed back to searching. She finally checked the last roll on the shelf and found a file. She brought the last file to Donald. Donald looked at her and returned back to his work. She stood in front of Donald tired and lazy. She tried to talk when he called her. "Helma, I will take your broken phone as an excuse. You were supposed to contact the janitors today miss" he looked at her disappointed. "Must I remind you of everything miss?" Donald snapped angry.Helma's looks changed at the reminder. She over slept and forgot about the janitors. "I am sorry sir, I over slept" Helma apologized. Donald chuckled holding a pencil. "look her miss, I don't plan to pay an over sleeping staff" he said. Helma looked around confused. She didn't know what to do, either to call the janitors now or fix a booking for tomorrow. She thought about her phone, she needed to get it fixed before she could m
"Pisssss" the pressure cooker whispered in the kitchen. Helma chopped vegetables for dinner. She checked on the lamb on the pressure cooker and returned to the vegetables. Forty minutes later, Helma was done with dinner. She made lamb stew and pasta. She smiled fulfilled at the nose blinding aroma from her meal. She served her plate and walked to the dinning. She sat down to eat after a long day when Clara walked down the stairs all dressed. She wore a red bodycon dress and a black stiletto heels. She walked down the stairs majestically with her purse and heavy makeup. Helma stared and returned to her meal. She bad just one bite when Clara started walking towards the dinning. "Don't I look pretty?" Clara asked sarcastically smiling. Helma looked at her and nodded and returned to her food trying to avoid further troubles from Clara.Clara leaned on the dinning table "oh. Thank you so much. You know Jay will never settle for some cheap bitch. You should take that as a warning" she said
Jay and Clara cuddled in the sofa muching popcorn and watching a movie. They giggled at the funny scence happening on tv. Jay kissed Clara's cheeks and she blushed. "Jay, are you officially my boyfriend now?" She asked pouting. The question struck Jay. He has never been a responsible boyfriend all his life. He only took his jobs seriously and not romance. He liked Clara but he didn't know what to tell her."I don't want to hurt you baby. I don't think I can ...." He said but Clara kissed him before he could finish his words. Jay held Clara's waist and kissed her passionately. "Yes. We are dating" Clara decleared happily kneeling halfway on him. Jay prayed silently that he doesn't loose his job soon. He smiled faintly and thought of what Donald would do to him if something happens to Clara. He shaked his head to get rid of those absurd thoughts that filled his mind.Beep beep beep. Clara's phone rang. She looked at the caller and it was Donald. She exchanged glances with Jay and whispe
Donald stared at Jay sternly and it caused Jay to sweat in his palms. "I have seen you before and it was not at the office it was at a cafe, giving flowers to my personal assistant and secretary" Donald said and Jay's facial expression changed from being tensed to confused. "are you dating my sister and Helma? " Donald asked. Jay nodded "no" several times before his lips moved."I am seeing just Clara sir. Helma.... Your assistant and I are just colleagues. The flowers were just to make her smile. She was stressed that's all sir" Jay defended sincerely. Clara came in with pineapple juice and Oreo cookie for Jay. Donald smiled at Clara. "You should go freshen up mama. Jay and I were just having a good conversation" Donald said smiling brightly. "Awwwwn. Getting along already" Clara said messing Jay's hair. She went upstairs leaving them alone. "Back to our conversation young man, you better be honest with your words. And try not to get my sister pregnant" Donald said standing up. "He
Helma smiled warmly at Mary and continued her chore. At breakfast, Donald had few bites as usual and left for work. Helma ran after him in her plain sky blue paints and white sleeve. Peter drove Donald and Helma to work unlike the previous week when they went to work in different cars. Helma held her abdomen and squeezed her hands from cramps. Donald would stare at her and look away when she tries to look back.At the office, Helma took Donald his coffee and returned to her desk. She sent out mails to clients who had meetings with Donald on Thursday and Friday rescheduling the meeting for the other week. Her clock beep and she took some files along with her to the board room. Donald fixed a meeting with all the staff at the headquarters. She got to the board room to meet Jane and other female employees sitted. Most of the starred at her with envy and spite.Five minutes later, the staffs were all sitted in the board room waiting for Donald to begin the meeting. Donald cleared his thro
