Oliver’s POV

"Boss, did I say something bad? Is that why you are yelling, I am so sorry but you told me to ask anything and you will grant it." She said in a calm tone.

"Oh, sure, granted you can leave by 4 pm to see the person that is important and dear to you, I guess my hopes were so high and brought down." I didn't know when I expressed myself this way.

"Boss, I don't understand or get what you mean?" She asked.

"It's nothing much, have you edited the presentation Mr Adams forwarded to you?" I asked.

"Not yet boss, but will do that immediately when I return to my desk." She replied.

"Okay, rush to work on it and I wouldn't want any mistakes on it and it should be sent to my mail immediately after you finish cross-checking."

"Yes, boss."

"You can leave now," I added.

Immediately she left, I left my office chair and walked to where my couch is and had my seat and adjusted my tie, shaking my head.

Why wouldn't she ask me for dinner?

Is she seeing someone else tonight?

Don't tell me she has a boyfriend now but this is not fair, I took her virginity on a nightstand, why will she freely see someone else rather than me?

I brought out my phone using it as a mirror to see how cute I am, "I am handsome and girls will always wish to be with me but why is she not seeing this?"

I later realized I have been saying nonsense out of my mouth.

Dorothy is making me go insane.

An unknown number I didn't save on my phone called me, I didn't pick the first call but when the person called again, I assumed the person was the one threatening me so I rushed to answer.

"Hello," I said over the call.

"Hi baby, it's been a while, you didn't call or text me nor did you ask me how my presentation went in France."

"Cleopatra?" I wondered.

"Oh I am blushing right now, you recognise my voice on the phone, that's so sweet."

"Sorry I didn't call, I was busy."

"Yes I know, I saw the news, just ignore them okay and I received your package at the airport, you are so sweet." She added.

I kept cracking my brains knowing I didn't send her anything, Is she okay?

"What are you talking about?"

"Come on, stop acting, well I love the flowers and the note you left for me, I will be ready for dinner exactly at 6 pm you talked about, I can't drive so hopefully you pick me up and yes I miss you too." She ended the call and I felt so lost here.

Something tells me my mom has everything to do with this.

I dialed my mom's lines and she answered, "My lovely son."

"Mom, what did you do?" I asked.

"What do you mean son?" She acted like she knew nothing about what I was referring to.

I think I learnt this particular character from her, to act like I don't care or know what you are referring to.

"Mom, please stop the act, Cleopatra called saying she got my package I sent her at the airport, I didn't order any packages for her so how come my name is mentioned?" I wondered.

"Oh son, I helped you out knowing how you have ignored her so well, remember I told you to pick her up from the airport when she returns, you said you were busy so I helped you out."

"Mom!!"

"Come on, I got you a beautiful damsel to be your girlfriend, you should be thanking me, even your father has met with her and she also helped in some politics stuff."

"You took her to see father?"

"Stop acting like a kid, make sure you take her out for dinner tonight, you can also clear your head as well knowing the news circulating about you."

"I don't believe you mom, I know it's father and you didn't take her to him."

"Believe what you want and please don't fail your mother, I put so much effort into this." She ended the call.

What has my mother done? I said to myself.

I hate saying no to my mother, well come to think of it, Dorothy is seeing someone for a date tonight, I hate everything.

A text popped up on my phone from Mason, "Hey dude, let's have some drinks. I am bored, the news should pick us both." I smiled.

"Be right there in twenty minutes," I replied to his text.

I guess Mason will be able to tell me what to do.

I looked around to see if I left some work undone and checked my mail as well before leaving the office.

I stepped out and Dorothy rushed to me, "Sir, do you have an urgent meeting I have no idea about?"

"No Dorothy, I am meeting up with Mason, you can leave by 4 pm, I won't be returning to the company today."

"Okay boss, thank you." She said then I left.

I arrived at the regular bar and saw Mason sitting already and had ordered some champagne.

I sat with him and asked, "What is the occasion?"

"Just felt like having a drink with my friend trending all over the news."

"You are so mean but thanks." We cheer with our glasses and sip from them.

"How is your trick going with your parents?" I asked.

"Going better than I expected, my mother will return to the country to have a meal with me and trust me, I know what she will be asking about her."

"Yeah you are right, I have something to say concerning the new project."

"Okay?"

"Is it possible to stop Mr Aiden from always coming to my company?"

"But why? Is it not their duty?"

"I know, he is always all around Dorothy and I don't like it."

"I can smell jealousy in the air." He started laughing.

"Will I say, I hate you so much now or what?"

"That's why we are best of friends right, you are madly in love bro and I can hear wedding bells."I scoffed.

"My mom sent Cleopatra a package and it has a note that I will be having dinner with her tonight, I am in a tight corner here," I explained things to him but he never takes things so seriously.

"Just go ahead with the date with her, even though you are in a more serious mess than the news." He added turning more drink into his glass.

"Dorothy is seeing someone special tonight and it's not me."

"Oh I see, you want to tail her and find out who the guy is right? But bro you are taking things too far, she is not your girlfriend yet and you are not asking her out."

"Soon but I feel insecure."

"Attend Cleopatra date okay, I don't want your mother nagging mostly when she calls me to report your case."

We both started laughing hard.

"But bro, be serious, how are you doing? The news is spreading."

"I am okay."

"That's a lie but I promise you something when you leave for your project trip with Dorothy, I will look for Sharon and find out the truth, I promise to let the world know you are better than the article coming up."

"Thanks best friend." I wonder how but when Mason makes a promise, he always keeps it.





Dorothy’s POV

This is unusual, boss leaving without me, his secretary? Oh, Dorothy, you want so much, he is hanging out with his best friend and it's his private life.

But why did he yell at me earlier when I told him I will be leaving by 4 pm to see someone, what was he expecting? Did I disappoint him or?

My phone rang and it's from Daniella, "Hey girlfriend, I am at your company, I brought spicily spaghetti, let's eat together, I don't wish to be stingy."

"Oh yummy, I will get you, let's eat at the workers resting room." I love spicy food, I rushed to meet her and directed her to the resting room meant for us workers, we can sleep here, eat or do whatever we like in here.

She opened the food and I salivated more.

"Daniella, my favourite cooker, you need to sign up for the cooking contest."

"Not me, have water before you start crying." She teases as we both laughed.

When she said crying, she reminded me of a day we both ate a spicy meal at an eatery. Sweat covered us up and tears started rolling down. It was really funny.

"So tell me, is he good in bed?" Daniella asked.

I knew it, for Daniella to bring a meal to the company I work for, it means she is curious over something she needs an answer for.

"What do you mean?"

"Come on, you didn't sleep at your apartment last night, where would you sleep if not your boss's place, he was your first on bed and I know it might be painful so I am asking, you both did it right again, so was he good?" She winks at me.

"I hate you, why would you think such, something came up that's why I slept there and nothing like sex took place, he is acting like he doesn't know me, why will he want to have sex with me and why will I allow it when I know work is work."

"Okay fine, let's wait for your trip, I believe you two are going to fk" I covered her mouth.

"Language, please. "

"Oh sorry."

"So tell me about Mason?" I asked and we started discussing him.




It was time for me to leave, "Let's go, Daniella, let's see my mom together at the hospital."

"Yes, let's get mom beautiful flowers on our way."

Stepping out with her, someone hit me when passing at
the door entrance in the company, "Hey, watch where you are going to?" I yelled.

I noticed he ran off the company and with his dressing, he looks like a suspect or here to harm someone but who?
