Chapter thirty three
Hazel
Clark had tried everything he could to make the night worthwhile for me and if I am being honest, he really is a gentleman and Ly was right about calling him Sunshine, but too bad that despite everything he was doing, my mind couldn’t stop going to the tall, handsome, dark haired and deep brown eyes man, who was dressed in black and not standing too far from me.
Whenever I look at him, he was either looking at that woman whom he didn’t even bother to introduce to me or talking with some big shots here that I never thought I would get to dine with or attend the same party with. It hurts me every time I look at him to see him giving her all his attention, guess she was the one that really won his heart, I mean, since he can’t take his eyes off her.
I was ready to take everything, all his unwavering attention towards here but no one really prepared me f
My name is Hazel Molly, I'm twenty four and kind of like the caretaker of my family. My first job doesn't pay well and I have always had this impossible dream of working in J&R Corp, why? Their pay is awesome. Three months working there is definitely going to change my life and that of my family. I never go to bed at night without putting it in my prayers and hardly start a new day without putting it in prayers too.One day, my prayer was answered, I saw an online application for a secretary, whose secretary? It didn't say but I don't care, I just want to work there.So I applied and attended the interview just like more than a hundred others who to my disappointment happened to be better than me did. I almost gave up though, but in the end, I got the job but what I didn't know was that, that day will be the start of my worst nightmare which didn't only stop as a nightmare, but also led to my death.No, no no, don't be scared, you will actually enjoy this st
Chapter oneHazel"Mom, I will call you, I promise" I said to my mom in the phone as I hurriedly ran my hairbrush on my hair, if I don't leave now then I'm going to be late for the interview, and God forgive me if I don't kill myself for being late. I wanted to toss my phone aside so that I can concentrate but of course, my mom won't let me."Don't forget honey, Timmy will be going back to school soon and he wants me to remind you about the money you promised him," my mom said and I had to fight the urge not to groan, can't she tell by the noises I'm making that I'm in a haste?"Don't worry mom, I will send him the money before he leaves.""Good, no
Chapter twoHazelI remembered I haven't pressed my floor on the button so I quickly did that, he didn't move but I sensed he followed me with his eyes which seems to be the only moving part in his body. I slowly retreated to where I stood before, clutching onto my handbag, I made to lick my lips again but stopped, when I remembered my lip gloss once more.From the corner of my eye, I watched my companion, he seems not to be a talker but I am which you already know with how I have been bugging you here, sorry."Hi" I made my attempt in making a conversation, "are you here for the interview too?" His eyebrows furrowed as he now turned his head fully to my view, giving me a chance to study that p
Chapter threeDave I had a fight with my father this morning, like I always do almost every morning, it became a habit that made me stop visiting him and his so called wife. I wouldn't have gone there if he hadn't phoned me this morning asking me to come over, now here I am, boiling in anger only to discover that some nincompoop has parked his car in a space reserved specially for me, I don't know if he was blind or not since he didn't see the sign.My driver left to find him wherever he may be and I just sat in my car doing absolutely nothing. My mind wondered off to when my mother was still alive, I didn't have so much on my plate then and things weren't so strained between my father and I, we used to be best buddies but that ended when
Chapter fourDave Hazel took my hand but didn't look up at me neither did she shake my hand with much enthusiasm as before. I turned to Nicole who was now looking at us, "please give us the room," I saw shock in her eyes but she didn't question me and silently left the room. I turned to my chatty secretary who is now like a drenched chick, a smirk made itsway to my lips and I walked on and sat on the chief seat, "sit down Ms. Moor" she obliged but her head was bowed. I know I wanted to see her surprise but she is acting a little bit too much now and I'm not liking it, "what's wrong? You were quite chatty in the elevator.""I didn't know you were you then," she answered."I see. But it do
Chapter fiveDave “Great, see you tomorrow, Hazel,” I smiled to her and she nodded, before standing up.“I will see you off,” Nicole said to her and she nodded once more and looked at me, I flashed her a smile and she looked away before picking up her files which I just remembered I didn’t even look at and turned to leave. But that’s okay, there is absolutely nothing in that file that I can’t find out if I want to. I looked up at Nicole to see her looking at me, there was a frown on her face, obviously, she was still not convinced that I should hire Hazel without interviewing other applicants. But she doesn’t know one thing, I don’t want those applicants, I only want Hazel, there is so
Chapter sixHazel I had called my mom earlier on my way back from J&R Corp, I had reschedule my dinner with them, also I want to give them the news that I got the job, which by the way is still surprising to me. As I left the company with Nicole by my side, asking me series kinds of questions, I had tried my best to answer as professionally as I could, knowing fully well that one word from this woman is enough to take away my newly gotten job. Though with the way my black devil, who ended up being my boss, hired me, I’m not sure if I would be easily fired, well, let’s not hope on it though.I blanked out the thought that he was Dave Williams, let’s begin with the fact that he was more handsome that anyone would have thought, even better than his brother, Clark. I wonder why he never appears publicly, maybe it’s so he could scare everyone like he scared me today. Christ,
Chapter sevenHazelAs I walked down the street to the nearest ATM machine, I couldn’t help but feel like I was being watched, I turned and looked around but there was no one following me or any one that considered me of interest. I sighed and shrugged off the thought, maybe it’s just a passing feeling. I approached the ATM and there was a small queue, I stood on the line, waiting for my turn but I could still feel like someone was watching me.I looked around again and I saw a black car parked not far from me, I frowned, I don’t know if it’s just my thought but the car looked like the one I had stopped by and checked myself in front of J&R, oh come on, who am I kidding, they can’t be one person driving a car, besides, even if there is, just because I checked myself with the window doesn’t mean the owner would come tracking me down. But hold on, what if the o
