Nathan had later gone back to his office to get his jacket after Belle left with Randy. He was about to get into the elevator on the top floor when he heard Laura Johnson."Don't close the doors!" She increased her pace to the elevator since she couldn't run.Nathan waited for her and only when she got into the elevator did he push the button to close the door. It was silent inside the elevator for a while till Mrs Johnson said;"I see the way you look at my assistant.""Me?" Nathan was going to deny it but Mrs Johnson was asking him at this point, she was simply stating what she had been observing."You do remember that having or starting a relationship other than friendship is not allowed in this company right?""I do." Nathan assured her."Good for you. At least, now you have more than just one reason to avoid her.""More than one reason?""She's probably in a relationship with someone of high status, stay away from her." Laura Johnson warned. She wasn't saying Ill of Belle, she wa

1 2 : 1 0 a m After she talked with her sister, Belle had a shower and decided to go to sleep, she was tired for some reason even if she didn't do anything much with her day.Still sleeping, her phone rang, waking her up. She checked under the pillow where she now always kept it before she went to sleep every night. Turning to face the ceiling and sleepily taking the call without checking the name she heard a voice that made her smile;"Belle," It was Ben."Yeahhh." She smiled more as she heard him call her name like he always did."Were you asleep?" He asked when he noticed her voice seemed to be lower than usual like she just woke up from sleep."What do you think?" She pushed all the hair that was disturbing her face backwards, lying back down afterwards."I'm sorry I woke you up," he started after checking his gold watch and seeing how late it was. He didn't know it was past 12am when he decided to call her and It was obvious to him now that he had just woken her up. "I just fe

"Belle?" Nathan caught up with her and tapped her shoulder as he called her for the second time. Belle knew she had no other choice than to stop."Sir!" She acted surprised to see him like she didn't hear him call when he was still in the car."Come on, I told you before, call me Nathan." He smiled."You are walking to work now? Do you do this everyday?""No, I didn't see any cab to take so I had to walk." She explained."All the way to the media house? Do you know how far it is from here? I mean it's not very far but it's not something you should trek through. Come get in, let's go together in my car.""I think I can just go on foot, I already started." Belle told him because she knew very much how she would rather go on foot and be late than drive with him."No you can't, I mean you shouldn't, damsels like you shouldn't have to go through such trouble, come on, let's go in my car." Belle sighed when he said that. He was smiling while trying to help her and she didn't want to say no

"You are already getting that, I don't have to sign a contract besides you don't love me, do you?" After her last two words, Belle felt like she shouldn't have asked that.The car stopped suddenly, they were now in front of the Crisp-tv media house. Belle sat on his thighs still, with no words and no action, just sheer silence."I will think about it, Ben." She said oddly before picking up her purse and leaving the car.Nathan was just about to walk into the building when he saw her alight from an expensive car parked right outside the office; he couldn't tell if the other cars parked behind it were escort cars or not because they also looked pretty expensive. He wasn't generally into cars but he knew this one Belle came down from was a new model.He hid when she was about to enter the building, he was still too shocked to talk to her. She seemed to be more affluent than he thought. ‘Maybe I should heed Laura's advice, maybe I should stay away from Belle.’ He began to think after rem

The first thing Belle did after she woke up was fo check her phone. She wanted to know if Ben had called while she was asleep but there weren't any missed call(s) on her phone.Taking her phone with her to the bathroom like last night(just Incase he called)she showered and got ready for work.She stood in front of her new place and smiled when she could easily see the Crisp-tv media house's building from there, that was how close it was. She smiled at herself again, satisfied with her decision to stay at her place, now she could walk leisurely to her workplace.On her way there, her phone rang and she answered immediately thinking it was Ben but it was just Brie checking up on her. A mini bus suddenly pulled up by the roadside while she was on the phone with Brie.She didn't give her attention to it, thinking they had some other reason for stopping their vehicle there but someone took her phone from her hands forcefully, throwing it to the floor.She turned to react but a masculine ha
