Cole withdrew from the crowd during lunch break and kept to himself the whole time. He was upset but didn’t know exactly who was upset with. He didn’t know if it was with himself or Brittany or with Naya for taking Brittany’s side. Now that he had sobered up from his fury, he wasn’t sure if he had acted in the right manner. Naya noticed how he had withdrawn himself from the crowd but said nothing to him. She knew how sly Luna could be and wasn’t convinced that Luna missed her wedding because someone threatened her. She wished Cole had been more patient so they could get to the bottom of the whole incident yet he had reacted so unreasonably like an angry bull. Sean was also displeased with how Cole had gotten Brittany kicked off the project. If anything at all he was the one who earned her the contract he expected to be consulted before kicking her out. He wanted to leave the set and go after Brittany but was afraid to cause more problems for her. He and Naya saw Cole seated alone bu

Cole’s heart churned and turned in his chest as he pondered over what Naya had said to him. Maybe he had overreacted, he should’ve taken his time to understand what was going on. He took his phone and attempted to call Brittany but then paused and pondered over it. “What if I’m right about her?…. What if I let her back into my life and she really harms me this time?” He put the phone down and sighed. Sean walked up to him with a frown on his face, Cole saw him but didn’t make room for him to sit. “I want you to know that I’m still mad at you,” Sean said staring at Cole to see if he’ll find any reaction from him. His face was stone cold but that didn’t deter Sean from going on with his lecture. “I recommended someone and if you do what you did it damages my reputation too. Who will take my recommendation’s seriously in the future after what you’ve done?” Sean Lamented. “This isn’t about you it’s about everyone’s safety if I didn’t get rid of that girl who knows what she would’ve d

Brittany handed her CV to a middle-aged man in his office and sat in the armchair facing the man. It was a bookstore and when she stopped in to look for a job she was directed to the owner’s office. “You dropped out of university in the first year, any reasons why?” He asked. “Debts, I couldn’t pay tuition and accommodation too so after the first year I decided to drop out” she replied. “I guess that’s why you went digging gold,” he said with a sarcastic smirk on his face. Brittany was annoyed but kept her composure, the previous places she had searched treated her worse than this. Some said they were not hiring gold diggers some said her only specialty was home wrecking and didn’t need her services and some just made fun of her. “Sir, do you have a daughter?” She asked calmly. “Yes, the same age as you, 21” “Great! I believe you always tell her not to bring a poor man home, I’m sure when you say your prayers you pray that she’ll not fall in love with a poor man” “What are you

Boris walked dejectedly to Cole’s living room his heart pounding with every step he took. Cole was seated in his armchair looking gloomy. There was a half-empty glass of wine on the coffee table in front of him. He had arrived from the break just about 15 minutes ago and hadn’t even gone to his room yet. He was anxious to see Brittany and when Boris told him he was on his way he sat in the chair waiting. He thought Brittany had agreed to come with him. He thought of what he’d say to her, he didn’t want to apologize his ego was still too big for that but he wanted to make it up to her somehow. Maybe take her shopping to replace the things he sold, he was still thinking it through when Boris stepped in and walked slowly towards him his face on the ground. Cole looked around thinking Brittany would follow but there was no sign of her. His heart sunk even further. “Where is she?” He said and looked at him “have a seat” “I went to see her friend last week… she gave me a sheet of paper t

Boris called Cole to ask him about the next move but Cole told him to go home. He then turned off his phone and remained seated in front of Brittany’s door, he sat there till he fell asleep. The next time he woke up he was lying on the floor his hand was numb and so were his feet. He slapped it severally and managed to get up. He turned on his phone and checked the time, it was 11 a.m. He gasped and dashed for the elevator when he got downstairs his driver was waiting for him. He paused and frowned then got into the car. “How long have you been here?” He asked trying to hide his embarrassment. He didn’t want anyone to know he had sat there all night, if the driver wasn’t out there he would’ve simply lied and said he was out with Sean. “All night sir” the driver responded Cole nodded. “Let it remain between the two of us” he instructed. “Yes sir!” The driver responded and drove away. Back at Cole’s villa Luna stood at the entrance elegantly dressed but visibly upset. “What do yo
