CARAThank God it's Friday! Four days of doing nothing other than scanning through a pile of records and files. Liam meant it when he said he wasn't going to let me do any strenuous activities that involved me using my hand. Even down to cooking!He requested that the company's chef send me breakfast, lunch and dinner. When it comes to Liam, you cannot but succumb. One thing I'm extremely grateful for is that my office isn't built in such a way that I'm facing him or vice versa. It's at the end and corner of the room.The longest he has stayed in his office this week so far is three hours. Yes, I kept track. It was from one interview or meeting to another.Two days ago, he had an interview regarding him making it to Forbes under 30. I love the fact that Liam doesn't act the typical cliché billionaire role. I mean the women, nightstands, spiteful boss staff relationship.I love how he relates with Veronica. Sometimes I get jealous. I've been thinking, is he ever going to ask me why I

LIAMI know I'm not supposed to be worried that Cara is all alone at home because of the estate security but I am. I shouldn't have come here. You've never had a problem with Rosaâs mandatory getaway breaks. I don't have a problem with it I just feel it's bad timing that is all.What happens when you have to travel for work related matters?She'll come along. After all, she's my assistant.âHave you been listening to anything I've been saying.?â âNot really, I'm sorry.ââCare to share?â Rosa asks.âDonât give this a wrong meaning.â âOkay?ââCara is home alone.ââAnd? Last I checked, she's an adult.ââYeah, I am aware. The thing is you know I stay in a lonely estate and you know how big my house is. Iâm not so comfortable.ââWith how tight the security of the estate is, a fly can't pass by without being noticed. You and I both know that. Any other excuse?ââRosa, believe me these are not excuses.ââFrom all you've told me and from our chats, I honestly just want to put this out the

CARAImmediately Mrs Chloe opens the door, I hug her and begin to cry.âOh, child,â she says hugging me tightly.I needed it. This week has been very overwhelming for me.âCome in. Let me make a cup of iced tea for you,â she says carrying my bag inside.I can't remember the last time I was here but I know a lot had changed. Almost every part of the house had a picture of her, her husband and her son Peter I think. Their only child. He left Dublin long before I entered college. We used to be childhood friends and we both went to the same play school and high school.Not sure if I'll be able to recognise him anymore but the picture of him all grown hung up beside the plant gives me a clear view ofhim. I was told he went to a very expensive British boarding school. People say his father comes from a wealthy lineage but they don't act like it. Very humble couples.Someone clearing their throat brought me out of my sea of thoughts. âPeter?ââCara Rufus?ââItâs Cara Bloom now. I took m

"Thanks for...""It's nothing," Peter says drying the plates while I rinse them."Ok, just get it out already," I say signing. It's so obvious he wants to say something but every time he opens his mouth he shuts it immediately."I don't get.""At least I gave you a chance," I say as I pick up the plate I dropped."Is there any particular reason as to why you don't want to talk about what you do or where you stay?""Yes because people will find it embarrassing. Especially with the grade, I finished with. It's not like they won't eventually find out but till then, I would like to walk around town with my head held high.""It can't be that bad and even if it is, I can help you get a job that comes alongside accommodation in Birmingham that's if you are willing to move to the Uk.ââIâll keep that in mind.â âMrs Johnson?âI raise my eyebrow knowing where this is heading. âYeah? What about her?ââI know they have a booming company which makes me wonder why she would give you a belittling

I didn't know we were going to stay this long. I feel for Cara with those killer inches she has on. It's not like she was standing all through the meeting. Even at that, I still feel for her because distributing and then clearing up documents containing different ideas now and then on that heel is something. We intend to expand the company hence our never-ending meetings. Five solid hours of pitching, suggestions, contemplations and many more.A text from father made me end the meeting abruptly. He's finally back and currently waiting for me in the office.âSon,â he says his arms wide open.I hug him and he gives me a path on my back. My dad and I are close buddies. He tells me virtually everything. Surprisingly, I had no idea he was coming in today.âHow was your trip dad?â âGood.ââHow are you holding up?ââGreat dad. The business has been running smoothly as always.â âVery good son. Veronica tells me you have a new assistant?â âYes. She's..â the door opens revealing Cara Bloom. A

I didn't know what or how to feel when I saw Liam's father. Heaven knows the lies he fed his son after I left to get the pastry.I clear up my desk and head home.A black hilux suddenly appears in front of my car just as I'm about to drive out. Even if it's late, the multiple street light at every corner and the light from my headlight should tell whoever this is that he is in my way. I honk twice and still no movement. Is this some serial killer kind of move? Wait this can be a ploy set by Liam's father to terminate me. There's no way I can move back because it's a cloggedspace. Am I going to waste away like this? Sweet Lord, I haven't achieved anything. I can't end like this.The door to the hilux opens revealing Liam's dad. History repeats itself except this time around, there's no driver and I'm not walking to the park to clear my head or in need of a break. Why did he take so long to come out. He was probably loading his pistol. Mary mother of Jesus I say as I do the sign of th

âArenât you going to kiss daddy before running off to grandma?â âMuah.â She says from a distance and runs off to hug mother. âNow your husbandâs back, youâve forgotten about us.ââWhen he was with you all throughout yesterday.ââHe just stopped by the office for a few minutes or so and went off.ââWhat do you mean few minutes? He came back home yesterday and said he was with you all day catching up.ââHe must have gone to see a friend or something.â âWhy would he have to lie about it?ââItâs nothing serious mum.â âYou are joking right?ââMum, letâs not make a fuss about this. You can just ask him about it when he gets back from work. Tell him that the conversation came up and I mentioned he wasnât with me all throughout yesterday.ââI will.
