Her Ruthless Angel Bellamia   “So, will you be taking it?”    Looking round, Liza realised two things at once; first of all, she was in Mike’s office and secondly, he just asked her a question and with the way he was staring at her, obviously wondering what was wrong with her, he had been made to ask the same question, several times, with her gazing into space.    Seeing that he wasn’t pleased with the way she kept him waiting for a response, she quickly gave a brief but fake smile, while nodding her head like a confused lizard.     With an impatient sigh, he smiled and asked again.    “You are taking the position right?”    And that was when Liza realised she had goofed again.    She honestly didn’t understand what he was talking about. But who co

  Angry and confused, Mike watched as the guy Liza called Tom left. He moved to follow him but he stopped his movement as he saw Liza limp to her car. He knew there was no way he would leave without checking if she would be fine.    Although he didn’t understand any of the things that just happened, he could deduce from the conversation he heard that Tom was the guy’s name and he’s Liza’s boyfriend.    A boyfriend that’s angry because Liza was late to their dinner date. A lateness caused by him.    Oh grief!    He couldn’t help but feel guilty even though he knew he had nothing to feel guilty about, he was only doing his job.    But why! Why didn’t she say something? She could have told him she had a date. He isn’t a monster that he wouldn’t understand. Remembering how she described him to her boyfriend, as boring and all business, he shook h

  Entering her flat that evening after a hectic day of trying to avoid Mike, Liza gave a smile of relief when she saw that Tom wasn’t anywhere around the flat.    She honestly couldn’t stand his trouble again, not with the way she was feeling. In fact, she prayed he should not come back…But as soon as she said it, guilt replaced the thought and she grimaced.    Of course she wanted him to come back. He was the only one she had, the person who truly loved her.    Having lost her parents at an early age, to be raised by an indifferent aunt who only cared about her painting and pets, she had grown with the determination to not only find a good career that would give room for other things, but to also find love and marriage.    So yes, she wanted Tom to come back but in a better mood than the previous night.    Maybe they could talk; maybe the ta

  "What did you say?”      Mike pretended not to have heard the young lady sitting across from his desk.      “I said, I’m sorry, but I will not be taking the promotion offer. I cannot.” She told him.      “Tell me why.” He demanded.     “I don’t think I’m obligated to give a reason, sir,” She snapped and Mike grimaced.   “Well, oblige me my dear Liza.” He said with a sugar coated angry smile.    “This is outrageous, sir. I believe it’s my right to accept or reject an offer from the company and as far as this offer is concerned, I’m rejecting it. There are many others in this office that will jump at such an opportunity.” She told him.    “But not you right?” He asked again just to be sure he heard her well.    Biting her li

  It was after five in the evening and Liza should have been out of the office twenty minutes ago but for the printing she had to finish and drop on Stella's desk for tomorrow’s meeting.    But thanks to God, she’s finally done and can be out of the office in a minute.    But just as she was grabbing her purse to make a dash for the door, the door to the boss’s office opened and in strolled Mike with his usual leisure walk.   “Done for the day?” He asked.   “Hmm, yes sir.” She answered.    “Oh good. I was just leaving also. Mind if I walk you to your car?” He asked.   “My car?” She repeated foolishly.   “Yes, since my car is parked beside it.”    “Oh, please, go ahead. I will be fine to walk to the car park alone”. She said with a fake smile.   “I know you would be
