Ria shook her head as Cassy left. She looked up to see Damon still staring at her. She gazed at him for a couple of seconds before dragging close the blinds. She returned to her seat and resumed her work.A few minutes into her work, her phone rang and she picked it up, swiped the answer button, and placed it on speaker mood."Hello Mr Chase?" she said into the phone. "Please can I see you in my office for a minute, I need some help if you don't mind""Okay sir, I'm coming right away" Ria replied dropped the call the stood to head over to his office.She got to his office and he was not there, she decided to wait for him since she didn't come out with her phone. She'd left it in her office thinking he would be in."Did I keep you waiting Princess?" She heard him call as soon as he entered the room."Not at all sir, It's just been a few minutes," Ria replied and he nodded."I'm sorry for calling you out but I really need your help" "What's the matter, sir?""Something pressing came u
"Do you really have to leave us? You can find a job here Ria" a woman muttered, holding a young lady's hands. Her eyes were filled with unshed tears which looked like they were waiting to be told before dropping.I have to mum, and you know that. there are a lot of opportunities in New York City and I know it won't be long for me to make you proud. I really want to" the young lady smiled, wiping off the tears on the woman's eyes which started flowing immediately she touched them as if they were commanded to do so.Other members of the family stood there. None of them seemed to be happy with the young lady's decision but it looked like they had to accept it, even if they didn't want to.Silence enveloped the room as series of untold emotions communicate amongst each other."Sister, you promised to take me along with you once you secure a job remember?" A young girl about 18 years of age grumbled, breaking off the silence."I will Myler, I surely will" came the replied of the sister who
Trotting down the street of New York where she knew no one, tears pouring heavily down her eyes like flood, Her hair in shambles from her dejected pulls, What has she done to herself by coming over to a state she knows no one all for a man?A man who she just caught cheating on her with her cousin. A lump formed in her throat and she swallowed it down, painfully. She kept on walking, eyes and legs having no idea of their destination yet they kept moving. The night which was fast approaching.It was already dark even though the street lights and busy street made it feel like it was still day. A plus for her.Her phone vibrated in her purse and she let out a tired hiss. If only the phone knows— it would seize from ringing. The had been ringing non stop and beginning to irritate her. She could easily pull it out and silence it or put it off but her hands were too stiff from pain to do that.Ria knew her family were probably the one calling. They must be dead worried about her since she
Damon tried waking her up but she wouldn't bulge. He tried shaking her hands off but they grasped tightly onto his neck."Shoot me! Girl are you a witch?" He fumed. What the hell was she doing sleeping on his body. "Get off me, I need to go! I didn't bring you here so you can't sleep on my body" Damon fumed. She wouldn't even bulge. How come a tiny body like hers feels so heavy and hard to pull away. What kind of strength does she possess?He doesn't even know her and he certainly wouldn't be taking her to his house because he doesn't trust strangers. She might be a set up or a trap set by his enemies and he wouldn't fall for that even though she doesn't look dangerous."Hey! Hey drunk girl wake-up. I need to go" he shook her again and this time, she mumbled something but he couldn't make out what she said."Hey drunk girl what are you saying? Get off me" Damon muttered. At this point, he just wanted her off him. He needed to go home. He has had enough and needs some rest."Drunk gi
"I don't believe what you're telling me dude," Chase announced. His eyes staring at Damon the whole time. "Do you mean to tell me that you, Antonio Damon Sinn, the cousin I've known for ages took a drunk girl to a hotel and even slept on the same bed with her? No! That's too hard to process" Chase Cackled.They were in Damon's house. After Chase picked him up from the hotel, Damon wouldn't tell him what he was doing at the hotel until they got to his house and after telling him what happened, Chase stare at him like he had lost his senses.Moving over to the mini wine bar situated at the corner of the dinning room, Damon took out a bottle of wine and headed back to the sitting room."I don't expect you to believe. It's too hard for me to process also. I didn't even see her face properly" Damon slumped on the couch, his hands massaging his neck. "Wait, you aren't pulling my legs? Ofcourse you don't joke around" Chase realized and immediately dropped the wine he was about to pour for h
Two days later...Ria finally got a job in a construction site. She remember roaming around the street two days ago after leaving the hotel the nice man took her to. She went into different stores, eateries and restaurants in search of any available Job but either they doesn't have vacancy or they don't provide accommodation.It was getting late and she was looking for where to sleep when she spotted an uncompleted building. She thought to sleep there and continued her search the next day. When she got to the building, It was still under construction and few people were still around. She waited for them to finish and leave before she came out of her hiding.She found herself inside one of the rooms and thankfully, it has a door. She went into the room and bolted the door from inside.Keeping her box by the wall, Ria brought out two thick clothes which she spread on the tiled floor and laid down. Immediately her back touched the floor, Ria fell fast asleep. She woke up the next mornin
"Remember everything I told you about my son. He doesn't joke with his early morning coffee so you have to always go on time to prepare the coffee" Lady Lizbeth muttered, shoving through lines of luxurious clothes.They were in a boutique to get classic items for Ria. Lady Lizbeth wasn't going to allow a wretched looking girl appear in front of her son.Her plans needs to work well and it starts with filling Ria's wardrobe."I remember everything ma'am. You don't need to worry. I can do all" Ria assured. She was already tired of going over everything. She wasn't a dumb that doesn't know how to do things or forget things easily as lady Lizbeth thinks of her."Good you do. No mistakes from you. Here, go try this gown" Lady Lizbeth handed a white not so short gown to Ria. I told you White is my son's favorite color so most of your clothes should be in white. Don't mess up" Lady Lizbeth warned."I won't" Ria collected the clothes and went into the closet to try it. This should be the hund
"Get out if you have nothing to say" he seethed not looked at her with any familiarity."I'm sorry sir. I'm your new assistant and I brought you your coffee" Ria muttered. He clearly doesn't remember her or doesn't even give a damn about her.How would he remember when she's just a drunk girl he met at a clubhouse and took to a hotel. There wasn't even any thing to remember but it hurts anyway.She remembered every minute they spent and hoped to see him again but here he was, three days later without even blinking with familiarity. Knowing this prickles her heart."Assistant? How come I have a new assistant? Anyway drop the coffee and Leave" He ordered.Ria nodded and dropped the coffee. Fighting hard not to cry, she turned around and left the office. She doesn't know why his action hurts her but her heart was in deep pain. It was as if a knife was stabbed right into her heart.Entering her office, Ria blinked off the tears trying to let lose. She wouldn't allow that ruin her makeup.
