Were You Fired?

Work starts by eight am but before Audrey could get to the office that day, it was almost noon. That morning, Audrey had gotten prepared for work like every other day and also did the same to the kids only for Zoey to start running a temperature all of a sudden. At first, she didn't take it seriously as she had given her medication but it didn't subside. Her temperature did not only increase, she began to shiver, as her teeth rattled.This was what spurred Audrey into seeking for medical consultants from a doctor online but with the way she had described the situation at hand, he asked her to take the child to the hospital. “Thank goodness you are here.” Audrey said, handing Zach to the babysitter, Erica who had just arrived. At the moment, she was rushing to the hospital so that Zoey would be examined. “Things don't seem right.” Erica stated, trying to keep up with her pace as she gathered everything that she needed. “Zoey started running a temperature this morning, I need to t

It's Getting Harder

The next morning at work, Rex made sure he arrived earlier than usual so he would get to the office before Audrey did. When he discovered she was yet to arrive, his lips broke into a coy smile as he made his way towards her table, armed with a bouquet of flowers. The previous day after she ran out in tears, he began to blame himself for hurting her and not putting into consideration the strange call and text that she received that threw her off balance. It was his guilt that made him go to her house that evening but the moment he saw her, he drove off as he couldn't face her. Placing the bouquet of freshly picked roses on her table, he stepped backwards with his hand folded in front of him. “I hope she likes flowers.” He muttered and just then, he heard the sound of approaching footsteps and immediately, he hurriedly made his way into his office. The owner of the footsteps turned out to be a janitor on duty. After a while, Audrey arrived only to see a bouquet of flowers on her

She Couldn't Believe Her Luck

Unable to keep up with the back and forth anymore, Rex had no choice but to act like a cool guy. Pushing his chair backwards, he made his way towards the coffee maker and after brewing two cups of coffee, he strode towards the couch, beckoning on her to join him.While Diane sipped from her mug, Rex kept staring into space as he held the mug even more tightly. Telling her off right away was what he intended to do but Diane wasn't going to give up so easily. Earlier, he thought that by giving her attitude, avoiding her calls and texts was going to stop her obsession but that was far from it. “Why are you interested in me? It's not as if I'm the only guy around here.” Rex said and then proceeded to take a sip from his mug. Diane on her part didn't answer his question immediately, rather, she started to swirl her hair around her fingers with her head tilted to the side. She couldn't believe her luck. Considering the way Rex had been treating her, she had expected him to throw her

It Is Unavoidable

After seeing Diane and Rex making out, Audrey decided to discard all of her feelings and work professionally. It was hard for her as she kept feeling betrayed and jealous each time she remembered what had happened but she forged ahead with the plan. Jessica tried pointing this to her but she wouldn't accept it as she tried to mask the jealousy that was threatening to overwhelm her. At work, Audrey only spoke when it was necessary, ignoring Rex whenever he wanted to strike a conversation with her. “You haven't gone through the memo I sent to your office.” Rex mentioned the next morning while Audrey was making her rounds. “I didn't receive any memo, otherwise, I would have gone through it.” She replied to him, not bothering to look in his direction. Resting against her table with his hands crossed on his chest, Rex was racking his head, trying to come up with something that would lead to a conversation between them but his efforts were futile. A few moments later, Audrey pushed t

We Aren't A Match

Rex was hoping to find out what the problem was after his conversation with her only to get even more confused.The more time he spent thinking about it, the more confused he became. Foremost, from the way she has acted, it was crystal clear that something was bothering her and this got him curious. Secondly, he was more than convinced that she was holding a grudge against him, her tone and everything depicted this. Pushing his hand into his hair, he began to comb through it, his eyes tightly shut as he rewinded the brief meeting.Suddenly, he pushed his chair backwards and then dashed out of the office. Fortunately for him, Audrey was still getting prepared to leave. “If you don't mind, I can take you home.” He stood by the door, watching her every move. Snapping her head in direction with a forced smile dancing on her lips, she said, “I’m not going straight home.” To sound even more convincing, she added, “I have no idea how long I will spend there. I’m sorry for declining.”

Definitely, She Was Getting Fired

The next morning, Audrey woke up early as usual and then began to get ready for the day. While she went about getting the kids lunchbox ready before Erica would come for them, they were eating and chattering at the same time only for them to stop talking suddenly. Audrey didn't take note of this until Zoey called out to her and immediately, she turned in her direction. “Yes sweetie, mummy is listening to you.” She cooed, crossing to the other side of the kitchen. “Why don't you take us to school like other parents? Why do you keep asking Erica to drop us off each time?” She mouthed and immediately, Audrey snapped her head in her direction. With a cocked brow, she asked, “Did Erica do anything wrong?” “It's not that.” The kids replied in unison. “Sammy's father drops him off at school each day, same as Fiona.” Zach said and almost immediately, Zoey added, “And when their father doesn't drop them off, their mother does.” Smiling sweetly at the kids, she held their shoulders, “I

What Was She Getting Herself Into?

With her heart still thumping, Rex let out a faint smile before going over to his seat. He waited for her to say something.Cocking her brow, Audrey pressed her lips into a thin line as she wondered what was amusing him. Peering at her watch, she confirmed she was more than half an hour late for work and instead of chiding her, he was smiling like something was amusing. “I’m sorry I came late…” She didn't get to complete her words before Rex took his weight off the table and with his hands tucked in his pockets, he made his way towards. With just a few meters separating them, he said, “It's fine but at least you should have called in that you would be late.” He said with a mild tone which made her gulp in fright. Audrey tried to speak but her heart was constricting against her chest. What is he up to this time around? Why is he acting calm when in the real sense he wants to pass my dismissal letter? — She pondered with her gaze fixated on his hand. As her heart rammed against he

I Feel Guilty

Rex was getting frustrated at his foiled attempt. He just wanted to have dinner with her but how did it end up as a disaster?Swirling around in his swivel chair, Rex was elated that she had accepted to have lunch with him. He was going to make a reservation in a seven star hotel but since he had no idea if she was going to accept to follow him or not, he didn't. Since it was late already and there would be no more reservation, he had opted for the staff cafeteria. “I will make a reservation now.” He said, pulling out his phone from his pocket. He intended to take her out for dinner before she returned home. For the rest of the work hours, Rex worked in high spirits. His concentration was heightened and he got to cover up a lot of work unlike before. About half an hour before work closes for the day, he sent a text to Audrey, inviting her to join him for dinner. She wanted to refuse because she was scared of the impression he was trying to create before the staff but ended up a

Petty

“What's all these now?” Rex muttered, staring at the taxi that was slowly disappearing in the distance. Rex's eyes narrowed in frustration as he watched Audrey storm out of the cafeteria. He couldn't understand why she was being so sensitive. Hadn't he been clear about his intentions?He thought back to her words about the money he gave her that night. It looked like everything he does was always misinterpreted by her. She was always assuming he was trying to buy her off. But that wasn't it at all. And now, it seemed like history was repeating itself. Audrey was jumping to conclusions again, assuming the worst about him.Rex sighed and rubbed his temples. He didn't know how to get through to her. It was like she had a permanent guard up, waiting for him to slip up so she could pounce.Just then, his phone buzzed with an incoming text. "Rex, you're not going to win her over that easily," the text read.Was Greg spying on him?Pushing his hand into his hair, he began to tug on it, un

You Good For Nothing Newt!

Still clouded with the thoughts of Audrey, Rex walked into the mansion absentmindedly. He had just gotten inside when he heard his grandmother's accusatory voice.“ You brat! How could you do this to your fiance? How could you abandon Diane?" Her voice boomed across the sitting room.Rex was already on the verge of getting a strong migraine. Why were the women in his life so difficult?“ Grandma-" “ You still remember you have a grandmother?" Rex couldn't help but to regret his decision of coming back here. He should have guessed his grandmother's motive for calling him back to the mansion.“ Grandma, I had a very hectic day today and if there is nothing important, can I just go and take a rest?" Rex wasn't cut out for another argument with these two women.If he had known, he would have gone to meet with Audrey instead, ignoring Clarissa's voice which gave him chills. As soon as he finished his words, he turned around to leave but his grandmother blocked his path. “Why are you do
