CHAPTER ELEVEN
My first day at training was quite hectic. I had to learn how to walk properly, not until now did I notice there was something wrong about my walking steps. Mr. Marcus equally taught me how to serve food to my boss. I got to find out that Mr. Daniel loves his coffee black."I thought I am here as an assistant,and not a waitress." I had to ask the question that has been on my mind ever since we started this part of the training. Marcus looked stunned at my boldness, but he calmly answered, "Yes. You are meant to be just his assistant with specific roles, but then the need may arise where you will be required to specially serve your boss, and you shouldn't be lacking in any area, because it could lead to your disqualification." What a job!, I grumbled to myself, because I was already exhausted."Are you sure you will be fit for this job?" He asked, after noticing the look on my face. "Yeah. I can do it." After minutes of silence, he asked, "Is something wrong, Miss?" His eyes were fix

CHAPTER TWELVE
"What's my schedule for today?""Nothing much. You have two meetings though. One with your dad, and the other with Bella." Nate carefully stated out."Bella? Who got her in my schedule?" Carl asked, surprised about the sudden meeting. He was aware about the meeting with his dad, but definitely not Bella."I got a call late night to fix it in your schedule. The venue has equally been fixed." She said, taking note of his expression. Her brows raised slightly, like she was perturbed about something. "By who?" He noticed the expression on his P.A's face, and tried to avoid it, like the way he has been avoiding any further meeting with Bella, because they always end awkwardly."Mr. Williams" Nate responded. She has been particularly perturbed about her boss. This contract marriage has taken a huge toil on him."Time?" Carl asked, fondling with his shirt, while trying to suppress his growing rage."In an hour time." she replied, giving him a forced smile. He nodded his head slightly."Your

"You did what?" The astonished Nate asked"I told him, I won't get married to Bella, and I equally told her to stay away from me." Carl shrugged his shoulders.Nathaniel noticed her boss's gloomy face while she was placing his meal on the table. She shouldn't be serving him his meal, as he detested it each time she did that. "You are my personal Assistant, and not my maid, Nate!" he always said this to her, and her usual response was, "I could be both. Besides, I love doing it." She enjoyed the disapproving look on his face each time she made the statement.Today was different, because he personally requested she served him. Nate instantly knew something was wrong."Why did you say that to him?" "I don't care" He shrugged once again. She knew better that he actually didn't care, but then didn't understand the look on his face."Did anything else happen?""I told him I don't care about losing the company, but I actually do. That's not really my problem though. Why is he so eager to ge

CHAPTER FOURTEEN
Ever wonder how time flies? because few days back, which felt like seconds ago, I got an email from this prestigious family, concerning my application, and today, I am standing in front of my room mirror, staring at my reflection, and feeling agitated. I was going to meet my proposed boss tomorrow, and I have never been tensed In my entire life. Today was the last day of my seven days training. Ever since I saw mum days ago, I felt more energetic to go on with my new job. Mum never stopped calling to check up on me. Last night, we were on a video call, and I could see how bright she looked, the dark patches under her eyes were all gone, her skin looked like that of a baby, and she looked like, she became twenty years younger."Khloe, how is the baby doing?" Mum asked, during the course of our conversation last night. How I always longed for her to ask me this question, ever since I started staying with Aunt Kim. I haven't had time to go for my ante-natal, and couldn't take permission

CHAPTER FIFTEEN
In the envelope, his father neatly scribbled the words; 'I WILL BE MEETING WITH YOUR GIRLFRIEND IN THE NEXT 72 HOURS(IN THREE DAYS). THE CLOCK IS TICKING.' At the bottom of the letter, after his father's signature, he saw where the old man scribbled 3:05pm. Carl glanced at the clock on the wall, and it was just a minute before 3:05pm. How did his father know that he would open the letter by this time. One thing he adored about his father was how calculative, and accurate he could be. He must have calculated the delivery time to have guessed when Carl will actually read the letter. Most times he wondered if his father's brain worked just like the normal human brain. When it comes to brain, he was almost the carbon copy of his father, the difference was that Mr. Williams' brain was 23% sharper than his, and Daniel's brain didn't even come close. Daniel 's brain was obviously filled up with chaffs, like partying, women, and spending money. He shoved the thought of his brother from his he

CHAPTER SIXTEEN
I informed Nate about my syringe phobia, and about my recent medical report, which was obviously a lie. I don't know if she bought my lies, but all she said was; 'Okay. No need for Doctor Bryan then. Just get me the report before the day runs out.' The doctor's name sounded oddly familiar, but I couldn't recall where I heard it from. Was it from Aunt Kim, or perhaps my ex? I haven't heard from Royce ever since I found out about my baby, but that wasn't my problem. My problem right now, was fixed on my BIG DAY, the day I trained days for, and here I am, shaking. Nate took it upon herself to dress me up, like I was royalty. She applied a light make-up on my face, brought in my suit, and shoes. It felt like I was going on my first date, but in a professional way.When I stared at my reflection in the mirror, I almost didn't recognize myself. My colours were all out, the ones I never knew I had. I looked older than 20, and my beauty radiated in the room. Yes, I know I was being self-aggra

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
I informed Nate earlier that I will be going home to get my medical report, but she didn't look interested in it anymore. No one needed to tell me that she had a lot on her mind.Mum received me with warm embrace. Aunt Kim wasn't back yet though, so, it was just I and Mum for the next one hour."You can't hide this pregnancy for long" Mum said to me, breaking the silence we enjoyed while we chewed on the popcorn, and watched a Tv series. I played deaf cos there was nothing to say. "What are your plans?" She pressured. Was she trying to make me sad, or she was just simply concerned?"I will take my break when my stomach starts protruding" I shrugged, not even sure of my plan. We kept chewing on the popcorn in silence. I caught a quick glance of my mum's face, there were mixed emotions."Are you worried about me, or the job?" I asked, when I couldn't withstand it anymore. It felt like my mum was still judging me, and haven't fully forgiven me. So, why did she come back? because I got a

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
Nate didn't ask for the medical report yesterday, so I assumed she was prolly occupied, and didn't want to disturb her, besides I got back late.I was to officially resume today, and could still feel the tension, I felt yesterday. "He is not a monster, breathe." I reminded myself of Nate's words, as a way of relaxing my nerves.Staring at my reflection in the mirror has become an habit for me, lately. My hands ran through my stomach, as I tried to feel for any movement. I know I was being silly, because it's too early for that.Reaching out for my hair, I tried dressing it just like the way Nate did yesterday. The result wasn't as beautiful as hers though. My name tag laid on the bed, and I stared at with admiration, like it was golden. It read 'PERSONAL ASSISTANT TO DANIEL BRADFORD, KHLOE JACOB'. Just tell me, who won't be grateful for this?My necklace was still fitted on my neck, so, all I had to do, was dress up, and place my tag on my suit, which I did within minutes.I admired m

CHAPTER NINETEEN
Carl and Maria met at "THE GILDED ROSE DINING ESTABLISHMENT". The restaurant exuded a sense of romance in every tiny detail. From the dim lighting, and peaceful music, to the crisp white linens, and crystal chandelier. The chandelier which suspended from the ceiling above the room, was made of crystal droplets, sparkling in the dim light. It perfectly added to the romantic ambience. The dining establishment was nestled in a serene corner of the city, away from the hassle of the streets. Nate specifically choose this place, because of its idyllic tranquility. One could easily get enchanted, and fall in love in a place like this, temporary forgetting every other thing that mattered.The waiter handed Maria the Menu, which comprised of two sections, one for the wine, and the other, for the food.The food menu featured an extensive selection of dishes, ranging from West African Cuisine, Italian Pasta dishes, to French Seafood specialities."Uhmmm, I will go with the chicken marsala."

CHAPTER TWENTY
Carl was livid when he saw Nate. "Don't ever leave me in such uncomfortable situation again. The rest dates should be scheduled for 30 minutes. Once the time lapses, excuse me from the date." He said to her. No one needed to tell her how the date went. It was obviously horrible."Okay, sir" Nate brought out her tab, and typed the scheduled 30 minutes, as a form of reminder for herself. It was already 6, and Carl still had more dates on the line. She moved closer to him, with her tab, on her right hand."It's time for your next date. I carefully selected some random ladies, that may fit your taste." Who would ever want to lose a P.A like her, that relentlessly work towards reducing the workload of her boss.Carl scanned through the list, "The last time, I looked out for degree, but this time, I won't do that." His eyes kept scanning the list, and when he got tired, he randomly pointed at a curvy lady. Nate picked up her phone, to contact the lady with the number provided.***The seco
