Even though Henry had just asked her to head to his office, Eve acted as if she didn't hear the command. She walked up to Kingsley and Franklin."So when are you going out? How about a weekend? We could stay out till dawn on Friday or maybe Saturday. That way, we can get to know each other more." she told them.Henry was beside her and the men were shivering already."I said you should head to my office right now!" Henry said."Is there any more work to be done? Besides, lunch hour is not yet over," replied Eve. She glanced at her wristwatch. "There's about five minutes left.""Didn't you get my message?" Henry asked sounding impatient."What?" Eve spat and flipped her hair.Henry moved closer to her and whispered "I want you in my office right now and don't you dare argue with me."He turned to the men. "And what are you two still doing here? Is there no work to be done at your departments?"Kingsley and Frank exchanged glances and in a flash, they disappeared from the scene. Henry

The next morning, Henry Richard came to his office and met the door locked. He went back to Stacy's desk."Hasn't my assistant shown up yet?" "She's yet to arrive, sir. Do you need anything?" Stacy demanded, smiling lovingly."If she's yet to arrive, it means my office hasn't been cleaned yet," Henry replied."I'll get it tidied before you blink." Stacy volunteered and took off.Henry went ahead and unlocked the office It was past 9 am and Eve was yet to show up. Stacy got one of the messengers to clean the office. She presented Henry's schedule stating that Eve was nowhere to be found.Henry glanced through the paper and sighed. He couldn't recall the last time he had such a busy schedule. He sat and brought out some files from his suitcase while waiting for Eve to show up. He was hoping she could come soonest because there was a lot of work at hand.Henry wanted to give Eve a call, demanding why she's yet to show up. He later concluded that she was feeling guilty for slapping him

Eve stood before her large dressing mirror and pressed her eyes for a moment. Yesterday, she was absent from work and couldn't stop thinking about what Henry's reaction will be today when she eventually shows up.After she sent a slap across his face the previous day, she rushed to Olivia's office to tell her about the ordeal. Olivia reprimanded her for the extreme act but also lauded her bravery.She told Olivia that she was scared of turning up the next day and Olivia had advised her to take her time. Today, she was ready to meet Henry and she planned to act as if nothing happened. As far as she was concerned, It was Henry who insulted her therefore she needed not feel guilty for retaliating.Eve stepped out of her apartment and boarded a cab to the office. When she got to the office that morning, everyone was engrossed in his task. She was thankful that the incident occurred in Henry's office not the reception else, the news would have gone around the office like a wildfire that sh

"Open your eyes Eve, please wake up." Henry cried out. He began to wiggle Eve while rubbing her left palm vigorously.He lifted her from the spot, carried her in his arms and placed her in the centre of the office. After discovering that her heart was still beating, he leapt for joy but didn't stop panicking.Henry immediately pulled out his cellphone and with trembling hands, he dialled Dane's number."Eve! she passed out. Come to her office right now!" he screamed to Dane, breathing heavily.Dane ran to Eve's office and saw Henry kneeling beside her unconscious body, trying to revive her."What happened to her?" Dane said and swept her off the floor.Henry ran to open the door properly so Dane could head out. "She passed out," Henry replied."We need to get her to a hospital."Dane hurried out of the office with Eve in his arms while Henry ran after them. When they got to the reception, the employees around began to whisper."Isn't that Mr Richard's new assistant?""What happened to

Henry saw the water bottle flying toward him and he ducked immediately. The bottle missed his head and hit the wall before landing on the floor."What a way to wake up Eve," he commented with his left hand on his chest, breathing heavily."You're lucky that I missed my target," Eve replied and folded her arms across her chest. Dane couldn't stop chuckling."So you intentionally wanted to hit me?" Henry demanded and moved closer to her. "What is wrong with you?" he growled."Well, you nearly sent her to the cemetery so you got what you deserve," Dane said with a blink.Henry sighed. "Why would you do such a thing Eve?" He was still yelling.Eve glared at him and screamed at his face. "You wanted to kill me.""No." Henry fired back and shook his head. "Why did you force me to eat that damn chocolate? As if I knew there was something about it that made me reject it but you went ahead and forced me." Eve continued."Easy!" Dane intervened. "You just woke up. You can't be yelling like th
