DOROTHY'S POV
"I don't know Dorothy but I have a feeling someone in this company must have done it, this has never happened, first the scandals, next was the death of Sharon, now this," Maxwell added and he made sense a little with what he said.
Problem upon problem since the news started, but who could be doing this to us?
"You are right but is there a way for us to amend things before our boss arrives?" I asked him in a worried tone.
"I wish there was a way to help or stop it but this is dying minutes, it took us a month to come up with the completion of this, it's doom for us and also a big loss to our boss." He said again, now I am worried about the company and also my love, how will he feel when he hears the news?
"It's okay Maxwell, just dig on it and find out who, for now, don't let it be announced to all yet, it should remain with the team and you, I guess I should look for a means to help too," I said trying to build some hope in him.
"I hope we can help but please can you break the news to our boss, you know you are closer to him?" He pleaded.
"Sure I will tell him myself, I will try my best, I hope it won't get deep to him."
"I hope so, please pass this file to the boss for me, I will try my best to find the suspect." He said before leaving.
I took a deep breath, and kept the portrait at the original spot,"God help me out on this."
I went back to my seat, thinking about what to do to help my man?
Let me call him and hear from him.
"Hello my love, missing me already?" He asked.
"Hell no, I am not.”
"Then I won't be coming to work today." He threatened.
"Fine, you win, oh yes I miss you and start coming, feeling much better now?" I asked.
"Yes, I feel so special knowing someone as important as you misses me."
"You are so funny, will you be here anytime soon?" I asked.
"Yes, I am almost done with what I came here to do." He replied.
"Okay then, I will be waiting for you,love, bye." I ended the call.
"You finally got a boyfriend?" A voice said and it scared life out of me.
"You almost gave me a heart attack Erica." I held my chest.
"Oh, I am sorry, just excited by your call." She smiled.
Oh no, don't tell me she heard all my conversations with our boss, oh no, she will spread the gossip, what will I do?
"Erica, you mean you listened to all my conversations?"
"No, I just heard the last part, so who is the lucky guy?" She asked.
Thank God, I am so happy she didn't hear everything, what a relief.
"It’s nobody, not important." I lied.
"Seems you don't want to share but no problem, our boss isn't here yet, what a relief, I wonder who could date someone as cold and rude as him, I must say, his girlfriend is trying."
I got so upset, why will she be saying that but I can't reply to her back.
"So Dorothy, please don't date someone like our boss, yes he is cute, but you might not be happy, cuteness is not everything but still, maybe he might be cool and romantic."
"Yes, that might be true," I replied with a smile.
"But I still doubt that not someone like our CEO, except his girlfriend, admitted it, got to go, just wanted to say hi." She said before leaving.
I hate her so much.
I stood from my desk and went ahead to Maxwell department. I saw the way the team was working extremely hard to meet up with the mess, but nothing was working, and it was getting frustrating to them,I can tell with the look on their faces.
"Maxwell, any news?"
"No,it's difficult to find out who did this but I have a feeling the person might not be working here anymore,I am so confused that I don't know what to say, our company is so guarded for such a thing to happen."
"Maxwell, the company that stole the work, is getting a partnership from higher ground to sponsor the project and can't wait for the lunch." One of the team members said.
"Oh no,Dorothy this is bad and there is nothing we can do about it at this junction, I don't want to lose my job, and I don't want Mr Castro to hear about this failure." He said in fear.
"Who is Mr Castro?" I asked.
"Mr Castro is Mr Oliver's father,I heard they are both not on good terms, and our boss is working so hard to work for this company,but I wonder what might be the fight between them."
"Let's not say what we don't know,I got an idea."
"Shoot." He said.
"I need a means to reach the CEO who stole from us,and also a representative from the top,I could speak with."
"But what will you do if you can meet them?" He asked.
"I will try to beg the top to give us time for our presentation then make the other to admit the truth."
"It sounds funny but I hope it works.I will try my best to get in touch with them and give you feedback."
"Thank you Maxwell."
I left, walked into my office, and saw a box of chocolates,I knew my love was back.
I was so excited that I rushed to his office to see his face when I noticed the sadness written over his face.
I guess he is aware now.
"Did you hear what happened,love?" He nodded in approval.
"This is like my life that someone is enjoying just like that." He said in sadness.
"I am so sorry,I promise to do my best to help the company."
"Thank you Dorothy,please I would love to be alone now,I hope you like the chocolate?"
"Yes,I do, thank you so much for the chocolate,I will let you be now, but call me if you need me."
"Thank you." He said before I left his office,and I pitied him so well.
It's really painful I must say,but I promise to help him out.
God please, let Maxwell come with good news,I need to put my all in this.
Maxwell came out of nowhe
re and I asked him,"Was it possible? Did you get in touch with anyone?"
