Austin was ready to punch him when Leonardo answered
‘No! I am not sir and… I’m even surprised that you just asked me this question!’ He said, quivering like a scared cat. His boss was impossible …only because he was jealous he thought about such a thing!Bloody hell!...“You better not lie to me Leon!!...otherwise you know what I’m capable of…” he said to poor Leon who was sweating profusely and dramatically fell on his knees as he tried to convince his boss; whose jealousy was getting the best out of him.“Then why do I feel like she’s in love with not me?” he said as his eyes flashed with anger. He was angry for nothing such that he forgot his wife was the mother of his kids and would never betray him in this lifetime.What a man!Leon who was now standing, looking at his impossible boss…wondering why he would speak such blasphemy…“I mean, why would my wife always get angry with me if I don’t grant you leave or give you a break? Better yet why would she prefer giving you her homemade food instead of me?” he voiced out his thoughts.By now, Leon’s mouth should’ve been full of the flies…for he was gaping at Austin with widened eyes and mouth agape…he only shook his head slightly and sat back down.“you know Leon…there are some things you can tell to my wife…but I hate and despise people who run their mouths and tell my office business to people who do not work in my company; that includes my wife…is that clear?” he said with a deep tone and his word held so much authority so much that Leon shivered in his seat.But, what kept him thinking was why would his boss talk to him while facing the door…that too with narrowed eyes.“Sir… you called for me!” Lisa, the secretary to Austin walked in holding a notepad, always ready to take note of her boss’s orders. “Tell me my schedule for tomorrow” he said, turning his back on her. ‘Sir at 9 o’clock you have a meeting with the investors from Luxembourg…after that you have a date with Miss Kate and …”“It’s okay Lisa you can go.” Austin said. Leon sat there as he sipped a glass of whiskey he was offered by his boss a minute ago, after Lisa had scurried away from his office.“What do you think about Lisa?” Austin asked.“What about her?” Leona asked back…he was not so sure why his boss was in the mood for asking all the awkward questions today above all these days…what could’ve this Tuesday hold for him.“I think she might make a good wife for you…you should try to approach her” Austin said as he smirked at Leon’s red face.“I’m kidding…just chill” Austin laughed heartily. “But, be careful,” he continued.“All I want you to do is find that person who was peering through the door will you?!”“On it boss…” Leon said as he rose from his chair, buttoned his coat and left Austin’s office. He knew his boss very well…he was good at manipulating people and a charmer. The people in business with him called him “THE GAMER” for he was good at playing mind games with people…and that’s what he just did with the person who was listening to their conversation. So, whatever name they called him in Sydney was suitable for him…despite the fact that he looked so innocent.While giving Leon a warning, he saw a figure reflecting on one the door, unfortunately the person got away before they could be seen. And that warning was not for Leon, it was for that person. They just gave them enough to hold on…so they could catch them at the right time. All they needed to do was to wait…It has been a long day for everyone…including Austin who hated the heat in Sydney, Australia even though winter was nearer today it was extremely hot.He thought about how he moved from Lagos and landed here…but, that’s a story for another day. All he wanted to do was get home and soak himself in cool water and cuddle his wife…he was now doing the final touches to the paintings which no one saw.***“You damn b*tch!... You can’t do a simple job! Your so called stupid boss is naïve that he cannot even recognise that you do not work for him. But you f*cking failed to give me the copies of the paintings.” Said a man with a gruff voice, as his heavy hand landed on those smooth cheeks. For some reason, the man was angry that the slap was not enough, as he connected his hand to her neck and prepared to choke the life out of her.“No! Please, don’t. I will try harder. Also there is something else that you need to know. But please don’t do anything to my family”. She said as she clasped her hands together in a form of begging and prepared to kneel down.Oh! Come on… do I need to remind you what I can get at huh? The man was so angry, that all he wanted was to give this lady a beating of her life…what could he do when she was sending him into a frenzy?...“So, you mean I can approach Mrs Martin right?...interesting” the man said as he grinned like a damn cat. And the lady frowned. Wasn’t this man ready to slaughter her a minute ago…now he was busy grinning. Indeed psychos existed…“You are not so useless after all… now get away from my face …’ he said “Remember I want those copies before the meeting starts tomorrow” he continued.“And don’t forget that I know where your family lives” he warned her one last time, before she scampered away. She couldn’t believe herself…how could she have gotten involved with such a man.……….Blessing, who had been sucking the money out of Austin’s card, was in a spa, getting pampered…she felt relieved as the tension on her shoulders was massaged away.One thing Austin loved about her was that she was a carefree lady, who knew how to voice out her words clearly…that’s why she has never lost any case in court. She was an intelligent Lawyer, who owned a law firm and a firm that dealt with decorations and renovations…which she created out of boredom. And miraculously it reached great lengths.“Here ma’am” one of the masseuses handed her, her phone which was ringing constantly disturbing her.“What!” she screamed as she abruptly stood up. She couldn’t believe her ears. How can that man go on a date with another woman without telling her?What a husband!It’s time they stop calling him THE GAMER a BETRAYER would be suitable.AT THE AUSBLI DECORATIONS AND RENOVATIONS early in the morning; employees were busy receiving orders, to either decorate or renovate customer houses. And most people who made the orders were the mistresses who obviously came from the rich families, who actually thought so high about themselves and thought they were in a good space…due to the upcoming Christmas, the employees were rather busy to notice anything going on around them…especially a pair of sexy creamy legs walking in through the thick rectangular glass hinged at the tiled floor going sideways as the person goes in.She cat walked…even though she was at least a bit old, she still looked good and so natural…so sexy, with that blue silky dress that hugged her figure, and a black coat over her shoulders, she looked rather intimidating…especially on those long gold stilettos. She seemed to be in her late forties. As she walked in, she looked sideways as if looking for someone.Looking at the office bustling with busy employees;
“Austin… I knew you were married, but you did not tell me that you have such a gorgeous lady in your home” Kate said through gritted teeth, hating every minute, admitting saying Blessing was gorgeous…“Oh! My bad…I’m Kate Jones” she said while looking at Austin through the corner of her eyes“I’m Blessing Austin Martin '' she said, stressing her name.“Your eyes are precious…where did you get them?” she continued as she pinched her hand…since they were still shaking hands.Kate made a fake laugh, as she retrieved her gaze from Austin.“Ah Blessing!...how can someone buy eyes? And why would you think that I bought them?” she said as she retrieved her hand from the tight hold.“Oh! That’s because it’ll be a sad occasion if you were to lose your eyes” Blessing said as she put a sad smile on her face. Of course Kate was no fool to understand the meaning behind her words.Austin smirked…seems like his wife met her match.“Okay ladies…calm down will” he had to extinguish the fire before it
“How the heck did she know?” Austin shouted as he slammed the door shut behind him. Blessing looked at her now hyper husband who was busy pacing up and down, wondering how come Kate knew about him being in jail. No one knew about Austin being in jail other than his mother, his two friends and his wife. So, how did Kate know? Was she working for someone?“Now what? Huh! Why are you so quiet when we have the situation at hand” He asked as he threw some clay vases off the table; shattering into pieces.What do you expect me to do? Hunch myself in a corner and continue to wallow in sadness and cry myself while wondering why Kate knows about you being in jail? Answer me!” Blessing shouted, returning the same anger her husband was showing at her. What did he expect her to do?Cry over something she had no clue on how it happened?Hell no!“I don’t know dammit!” He shouted again, throwing things again on the floor.“Then why are you shouting? ...especially at me, what have I done? Get a gr
Kamala Architectural DesignsIt was like everybody had a bad hair day… as they paced back and forth, trying to prepare the presentation for the coming clients, who wanted to be partners with KCC. Their company was doing very well, but they wondered why their boss would want to do partnership with anyone; when he in turn he hated doing partnership.Kamala always had the bad boy image, he had broad shoulders. Abs on flick. Those blue eyes are what always kept the girls swooning over him…so, the employees were no exception.What a sinful man! … pleasing to one's eyes… a sight for sore eyes.The moment Kamala entered the company, the noise settled, and all the attention was drawn on him. His hair was dishevelled to the side, the top two buttons of his which stuck to him like a second skin were undone. The sky blue suit did wonders on his body and his thin waist was on display.The employees were stunned that such beauty existed, well it was not the first time they saw him, but everyday s
“So, where have you been for the whole month?” Austin asked as he took a sip from his liquor glass. They were in one of their nightclubs, the atmosphere was rather truculent and enchanting…with some slow music going on. The two men decided to meet up and talk. On a Saturday afternoon, it has been so long since they had met up and had time to talk. Their friendship was something unbreakable and anyone would find it weird, for, one had a wife and one was a Casanova who never wanted to settle down.“Well, I decided to let loose, so I went to the Caribbean…you should see the ladies there” Kamala said as he chuckled trying to get Austin’s reaction…but Austin only rolled his eyes. His friend is never going to settle down soon; with the way he chases every skirt that always opens when the wind blows!Kamala made an ‘o’ with his hand on his mouth as he remembered that his friend had long settled with the love of his life. He himself didn’t ever think of settling down anytime soon... not when
The small white flakes of the snow fell down. It always gets like this in Australia, especially in July or August. The country was always covered in white due to the snowfall. And today was no exception. Blessing who knew it was winter, and the weather was supposed to be a cold one; adding to the fact that the snow was falling, felt hot and sweaty.Was it a hot winter?"Aahhh!..." she moaned deliriously as felt the hot and rough hands massaged her inner thighs like nothing before. Was she having wet dreams?Definitely no…for whatever was happening to, felt real. She wanted to touch whoever was doing this to her. Unfortunately her hands couldn't move for some reason. She felt her breath getting hyper. So close to something she wanted to feel…Only to open her eyes when she felt she was not reaching that certain place…She met Austin's brown eyes and a smirk tugged at the corners of his lips. Which she so wanted to wipe off him."Hey wifey!!" He said with a smirk. And nuzzled his face
"Mom!...I'm going out" Nevena shouted at her mom who was busy in the kitchen. It was early Sunday morning. The earth was still coated in white. Even the small white flakes had reduced falling. Mrs Tobias emerged from the kitchen, wiping her hands with a kitchen cloth."Are you going to work even on Sundays? " she asked her daughter, raising her eyebrows. She had to ask because she was bothered."Well, mom, I'm going to see some friends," she said, putting on her shoes. Her mom treated her like she 7years old. But, she was a grown woman for crying out loud. Before Mrs Tobias could say anything, Nevena kissed her mother's cheek and stormed away.Mrs Tobias narrowed into slits. She was suspicious, her daughter never had friends. She was only acquainted with a guy named Eric who works at the club. And he was their neighbour. Except she was going to cause trouble. She shook her head and went back to the kitchen.……After getting out of the house, Nevena went to catch a cab to a certain ap
It was Monday, late in the afternoon. The ground was still blanketed with the white small flakes. Today the weather was not that chilly, Although there was a little bit of wind. But the atmosphere in the air was rather pleasant, but not in the Martin Mansion.“What do you mean mother?” Blessing asked her mother who invited herself in her home. With Elizabeth Pitt; Blessing’s mother in the house, everything was bound to get frantic. She loved nothing but neatness. She ridiculed every little detail that she saw. She loved designing and wanted everything to be in perfection.“I mean exactly that” she looked at her mother like she had grown horns on her head. She just could not believe her mother would tell her to leave her husband of five years. Was she crazy to think that she would do such an embarrassing and disgracing act?Hell no!“But why? ... that good for nothing boy would not give you whatever you desire.” Elizabeth yelled. Her stupid of a daughter decided to marry someone who is
