Slipped!Stephany was grabbing some magazines from the book shelves when Juma walked into his study.He was holding a glass of water with floating ice cubes and didn't notice her as his eyes had lock on something else.The magazine on his desk. He had left no magazine there so it quickly attracted his attention as he walked with large strides to it.A glance and the next thing Stephany saw, he had thrown it into the bin.Stephany: ...?"Why did you do that?" Stephany asked.This was not the result she was waiting for!"What?" Juma asked as he sat."You threw away the Magazine. Why? I thought you would be interested in her," she said as she went to the other desk on the lower two steps part of the study.He shot her an icy glare and reacted to changing it quickly to a questionable look.He had just reacted icily thinking why everyone would think he could be interested in Linah. Then he realized that he was talking to Stella, so she might be talking about the company and not the other k

CHAPTER TWENTY ONE
AVOID NOT TODAYThe sighs of pity to Susan accompanied the disappearing backs and they went on with the work left. No one spoke as the rattle of papers and whispers with hands moving from one document to the other started.Stephany had just separated from Susan as she went in to Juma's office through the corridor path.She was conflicted in between visiting the office first or checking on the conference room if there's someone to give her the heads up of what happened.After difficult decision, she decided to walk towards his office. The door was a bit hidden and there was a corridor. If she could have used her office, she would have used the emergency door link in there."Have you been hiding?"A voice came from behind her and she swallowed hard with widened eyes."No! Why should I be?" Stephany asked a question of her own too.Naturally she felt that there was no reason for hiding it's just that, she did not want to face this Juma Cain's changed self.He was the opposite of what he

ANSWERSThe sound of the clocks seemed to have converged at one place in the entire office and that was near Stephany's ears.Tick tock, tick tock.It was like they were trying to tell her to hurry and choose.There was no better choice but the silence that allowed the clock sound was now giving her heart a scare as it drummed in her ears too.Little did she ever think of the day she would be so anxious to be with Juma like the only two of them.Where did it come from?But before she could speculate the answer, Juma's voice sounded."Jeffa is asking if I'm going down or not, the hotel surely without any suspens will be the next!"He was calm like he knew her choice and said his sentence like he was talking about everyday business."Okay!" She said and it sounded like a commanded whisper just at the fall of Juma's voice.Juma chuckled at her reaction and asked like he never understood what the okay was for,"Okay to what?"Stephany almost dropped dead with anger. Is this man really ser

Trending."She looked forward to that day and that day she even did her chores early," Stephany went on feeling down.Silent loomed between them and Juma raised a brow."What happened next?" Juma asked with anticipation.He was now into the story, especially when he felt the name Stephany to be familiar and the story brought some weird painful feeling to him.Juma thought he had grown soft since he had feelings towards Stella so he pushed the feeling to the back of his mind.Stephany was surprised to see his reactions and also she affirmed sighing in her heart that surely, he had forgotten all that. It was all seen in his face."That day, he never even glanced at her," she stated.At this said, she stopped to seek his reaction. Juma was surprised by the turn of events a little angry to who?"What? Why did he do that?" Juma asked.He now gets why she wouldn't love this Abel guy, the man was a jerk!"He broke up with her, saying he

Target!The car turned towards the direction of home and she turned to him."Where are we headed?" She asked."Home. I need somewhere to sit and focus on what's going on. I will leave it to you for now but I might take over if something isn't done," Juma stated what was in his mind.Stephany was taken aback!He made Stephany think of him in the past...."Why did you reprimand her that way, moreso in my presence, it was too cruel!" She had said helplessly staring at the receding back of Linah."Who is she to say that to you?" He had asked."She is just a concerned friend. More ever, she has known you way long before me, isn't it?" Stephany had reminded."And she should know better than getting to my bad side. She is a friend and should not cross that line!" He had stubbornly stood on his stand."She's right though, I am basically a tomboy. Being surrounded by boys made it easier for me, so the feminine part is gone. You know it""

Is The World Warning.While Stephany was in the call, she forgot to listen as her mind wondered away. She remembered and contemplated in all the happenings that had transpired since she knew or safely said, since she met Juma Cain.It was not only from that day at the airport, but also from the first day she had set her eyes on him. She never crashed on Juma and he never made her heart skip at first, second or third sight!But that was not as important as what she had to endure when she was with him, apart from having fawning friends.The enemy list of most of the girls that time, at the top rank, was her glaring name!

He Drove Here!Kriiing!! Kriiing!Stephany's phone rang just as she wanted to dial the number. Luckily it was the one she wanted to call."I am coming right now and don't even try asking me to go back to work!" Candy's adamant voice that left no opportunity for any refute rang clearly from the other side as she demanded in her motherly tone as soon as Stephany slid the accepting dial.The sudden emergence of Candy's shrill voice made Stephany place the phone away from her ears an arm length away and only returned it after the girl had finished her sentence.Stephany had not expected Candy to call much less decide on coming back home. It was better anyway.This way, she could help her swerve the internet not that she didn't know but Stephany loved being the internet damn girl."Okay mom!"

Son Of Upper City.After Juma left from the parking lot near Candy’s apartment, he drove into the street towards the highway that would be leading him to his home. As an afterthought, he swerved to a certain bus stop and parked for a little while to give him an opportunity to look into the story of the clothes Stella had worn.The steering wheel was steered as the car drove to the left side of the road and he parked the car without any disturbance.He turned to look at the brown leather jacket that was sitting on the front passenger seat next to him with all seriousness. He reached for the brown leather G4 jacket and started scanning it as if his eyes could really take him back into the production hour of the jacket. This jacket was not simple as its tailoring seemed to follow all the criteria that is needed for a designer cloth.The leather part of the jacket with the G4 brand on the top right shoulder and the bigger insignia of the brand at the back. The G was a ro

No Problem!The bus driver’s expression sank. It was true what Juma was saying but he was known to be someone who gets what he wants so how could he just yield so easily?“Young man, it seems that you ain’t going to give me face like I gave you face. Right?” The bus driver asked in a hardened voice clearly not masking the anger and hatred he had for Juma now.These wealthy kids thought that they owned the city. But he had been in the transport business for so long that he even had his goons and cronies under him to do his dirty work.If not for the fact that this place was a public place and still in the city center, with all the cameras in place, he could have gotten into his bus and knocked this ignorant fool of the wealthy family out of his way and even taken the car engine and other parts. This hummer was still new, probably not one month old!Thinking of this, the bus driver’s eyes shone brightly and for the slip of a second he had forgotten he was arguing w

CHAPTER TWENTY NINE
Bridge Ways Mixed.Juma knew that Ali’s religion would want him to rush home so he did not hesitate on agreeing to him for the short notice request of leave. Then again, Ali’s leave was supposed to be on this weekend so it was not bad to allow him to head for his sister’s funeral.Then again, Juma was not going to be heartless enough as to only give him the funeral leave because of the upcoming one.“Do not worry, I will ask for your transportation to be arranged and your leave this weekend is still available,” Juma added as an afterthought reassuringly.“Thank you sir Namu, but…that won’t be necessary. I have to work for the days I’ll be gone,” Ali said quickly, not wanting to use Juma’s kindness for his benefit even though he knew the degree of his kindness.Juma looked at Ali who was standing three steps from him and revealed a broad smile as he spoke, “I said it should not worry you. We can manage. If not, we will have to disturb the hotels these few days.Juma felt Ali’s anxiousn
