"How are you miss Stacy, I heard what happened, hope you are well," The clerk questioned relentlessly." Yes I am thank you, who are those men outside," Stacy asked her while staring at them and back at her." Mr. Owen's bodyguards, he is having a meeting with miss Kloe at the moment-"And the police car?" Stacy interjected."I have no idea miss Stacy but Kloe does, to be honest, she has been unhappy since she got here today, strange things have been happening and I'm not sure what to believe anymore, the officers had gone upstairs, and asked me to leave, hopefully, nothing terrible happens to drag the company's name in the mud," The clerk spoke with worried written all over her face."You said she is speaking to Mr. Owen right now, this means she may be finalizing the deal, we have to tell her to come on," Mrs. Dwyane exclaimed while walking towards the elevator hurriedly."Mom please stop, we can't just barge into her office and feed her with this information, we have to slow down m
She stared at the card and it happens to be a business card from whoever that man's boss was. She kept watching as the car drove off and by its luxury, she could tell that whoever his boss was, is rich.She walked back into the building and sat on a sofa present in the lobby, she threw herself down and she sighed heavily, the clerk couldn't say a word to her as she is still in shock of the events that had taken place.She kept staring at the name written boldly on the card, Mr. Maxwell B. Charleston. She started to wonder who he was and why did he suddenly want to speak to me?She wanted to make the call immediately as the guy has said, so she stood up and walked to the cafeteria where she requested a glass of fruit juice.She sat alone as there was no one else in the cafeteria since everyone is busy at work, and most of them were not aware of the incident that took place.She saved the phone number on her phone and took a deep breath before clicking the call icon, the person she call
" The contract would be terminated, they should go after Owen now not us, besides if they wanted these contract documents so badly why can't they meet up with us to talk about it, why take it by force or try to attack us, kill lots of people because of it, somehow I still believe that Owen has nothing to do with this document attacks, someone else does," Kloe tried to buttress her point." Kloe you are still a young child in the ways of business, I wouldn't say much to you, at least you plan to terminate the contract which is a good thing, right now I'm going to rest," Mr. Dwayne concluded while standing up. He left both ladies alone in the living room to join his wife, the day was hectic so there was no better way to get over it than a good evening rest.Once he was gone, Kloe turned to Stacy and asked."So how are you feeling, any effects from last night?" "Honestly, I am seeing things, it's very scary but I would get over it, that reminds me, I'll need to shift my appointment with
"Sir, Karen is coming over tonight, you said I should remind you, she would be here by seven p.m," A tall man dressed in a blue cooperate shirt and black pants spoke to his boss. "Oh no!" His boss exclaimed."I would not be around when she comes here," he said."Okay sir, why do you think I should do, should I tell her that you won't be home so she could come tomorrow, or should I let her come over and inform her that you went to see a client and would be back late, I'm sure she wouldn't mind," Rowan explained to his boss who had a worried expression on his face."You know how women are, don't you? She would ask lots of questions and if she finds out that I went out to a lady, she would think otherwise," Max said while putting on his shoes." Sir, I will try my best to keep her from knowing, the best option is to let her come over, I'll tell her you went to see a client and would be back a bit late if you make it by eight p.m, she wouldn't feel like something is being hidden from her
It was strange to Kloe that he asked that question, would he have taken her into the executive chamber without knowing that she was Kloe? Or was he trying to start a conversation?"Yes I am Kloe, thank you for this treatment Mr. Max, I mean Max," she corrected herself immediately." You are welcome Kloe, this is where I meet all my clients, so it was only right that I do the same for you, so how are you?" He asked her." I am fine-"You know that I can see some bruises on your face right? Even though you tried to hide it with my makeup it's still a bit visible, care to tell me what happened?" He asked." Oh about that," Kloe tried to explain even though she was a bit embarrassed by the fact that her makeup didn't hide the bruises as she planned."I had an accident at work that caused me to scratch my face against the wall yesterday, it has been treated though so I am good."" I am sorry to hear that, where do you work?" He asked her.It was amusing that not many people knew about Kloe
He sighed heavily and contemplated whether or not to pick up the call in front of Kloe. Knowing that neglecting the call may lead to unforeseen circumstances he decided to pick up."Hello Karen," he greeted her with a cheerful voice."I am in the car right now, I'll be home shortly,""I went to see a client, I'll be home shortly," he slightly raised his voice." Is there anything wrong with me going to meet up with a client? And like I said I'm in the car we will talk about this when I get home," he hung up the phone immediately." Your wife? You should go and meet her before she gets even angrier, trust me we ladies have a bad case of jealousy," Kloe spoke to him and waited for a response.The thought that he has a wife ran across her heart and broke them, but his response revived her hopes once more."She is not my wife, that is my aunty, Karen, always worried whenever I am out late, I mean does she think that I am still a little boy who needs supervision? "Max's little white lie re
"Tired? Why are you so tired? I waited for you for half an hour and you came back to tell me you are tired. What is going on Max, let me know if you are seeing someone else, it's that simple so we can stop fooling ourselves, neither of us is a kid anymore Max!" Karen's voice roared like a lion announcing its presence from a mile away."Is it an offense to be tired Karen?" Max asked her with a simple tone that exhibited a bit of offense."It is not an offense until a time like this, I came for you tonight, you know that I come to see you every Friday night, I reminded you this morning that I would be here and you even blew me kisses from the phone, and now you are too tired to even spend time with me," she ranted." I don't think I said that to you Karen, I only said that I am tired, I never said that I didn't want to spend time with you because I am tired, stop mixing things up!" This time Max raised his voice a bit which surprised Karen because he never did."You yelled at me Max," K
She picked up the call without hesitation, she already suspected the reason why Stacy called and that was to ask how her surprise date was."It went well," she said and went ahead to explain the sequence of events to her."I believe you have just gotten yourself a new darling," Stacy sounded excited." Let's not be too hasty, he could be another Henry in disguise, men are unpredictable you know?"" Haha, you are right, so has he asked you to be his girlfriend yet?" Stacy inquired." Girl! We only went out last night, what were you expecting? A wedding the next day? When are you going to bring home a man of your choice, let's forget about me now," Kloe laughed while playing with her bedsheet." That is not important to me now, anyways I wanted to invite you over later today by five pm, I wanted to tell you when you get to work but it seems you wouldn't be coming today, I'm hosting a party for my brother's girlfriend." " Oh wow, that is nice, I will be there, and I will be at work soon
