the two continued to laugh for a few minutes. "whats your name" julia asked admist their laughther,

" you can call me violet or vee if you please, actually vee is fine." She stared intently at julia as she answered. We have to hurry, or am going to be late for work she lamented as she beckoned julia to follow her. The two made their way to violets office.

In the eyes of passerby and the policeman who was just insulted without his knowledge, a young woman was seen talking to herself, and then laughing hysterically, and then talking to herself again, everyone present stared at her. She looked like she needed urgent medical attention from a certified psychiatrist.

Before long they arrived at the front of a massive skyscraper, the endless array of windows which lined the building, glistened in the sun, creating a mind bloging sight. Voilet sprang forth with julia playing catch up. All the employes scurried around like headless chickens.

"don't stray too far okay" violet cautioned before racing down the hallway. the atmosphere was tense, as everyone hurried to get to their duty post before the big boss arrive.

Julia wasn't surprised, she had recognized the building immediately they arrived in front of it

Total incorporated

The leading organization in the entire philipines and all of south east asia, their strongholds swept through different industries from banks, to hotels, to to I.T. their position has a leader in every major industry was unshakable. She stood in the middle of complex, and her eyes swept the entire organization in seconds, the magnificence of the building was incredible. She strolled leisurely around the massive building stealthy observing everyone like a God. Gliding through walls and glass effortlessly.

There was a minor commotion outside the building some of the employees hurriedly made their way to the entrance of the building. Julia also joined in to find out what the noise was about.

A black maybach reclined gradually in front of the building, a pair of perfectly sculpted legs could be seen highlighting, his navy blue retro suite, and light blue tie were tailored to suite, his athletic body, his dark brown hair flutterd in the wind like lazily, his divine face would put several top models to shame. With deep blue dreamy eyes, and a pointy nose which further served to accentuate his fine features, if there was one word that could encapsulate his person, it would be irisistibly handsome. His cold aura was hard to miss, his eyes were fierce, cutting through every being that gaze upon them, the air around him was chily and terrifying. Despite his intimidating vibes, he was breatakingnly handsome.

All the employees who had lined up to greet him hurriedly dispersed creating a pathway for him. He marched along the cleared path like a general going to war. His frosty eyes surveyed the employees, an expression of dissatisfaction appeared on his face. " good morning sir, good morning . they starmmerd has he walked past them.

Julia watched the entire show in amusement, she knew the ceo was famous for his short temper and over bearing tendencies. But she never imagined that his employees treated him like a demi god. She had asked her secretary before to set up a metting between her company and his, when their stocks plummeted and major shareholders decided to conspire against her. He canceled at the last minute without without any official reason or reasonable excuse. Now that she thought about it, his reason for canceling his pretty obvious

Arrogance, total arrogance and lack of respect for everyone and anyone,

Williams turned to his secretary who stoped abruptly ready to fufill his bosses orders, reasonable and unreasonable.

" has my neice arrived yet?" he enquired, his voice cold and lifeless

" yes sir, she has, she is sitting in your office as we speak"

"good, cancel all my appointment for today and shift my meeting with the Chinese investors to next week" he commanded

" sir, we already shifted the meeting last week to this week, I fear they may pull out of the deal if we continue to be inconsistent"

all it took was one soul piercing glare from William to send the poor secretary shivering and clinging for dear life. he was terrified that his objection may have angered his boss, his face became pale as a chilly sensation rung throughout his body

" right away sir, ill inform them of your decision to adjourn the meeting. He disappeared at the speed of light, afraid of provoking the devil.

Julia continued to follow the ceo as he made his to his office, every of his step was poised with grace and elegance, it was as though he was floating instead of walking , he stopped in front of a glass door and streatch forth his thumb for scanning. Julia didn't need a passcode, she efortelesy sliped through the glass door, appearing on the inside of the office. The ambiance and décor of the office was exactly as she expected. Dark and bleak.

" a cold and heartless individual like him has no need for colours in his life she mutterd to herself. Julias eyes trailed to the little girl sitting quietely in the office. Immediately she sensed that the glass door was opened the little sprang up and in a blink of eye and raced towards William who closed the distance between them before she could reach him. In a split second he scooped her from the ground and hugged her in a tight embrace

"did you miss me? hmmm, tell me you miss me, tell me you miss me… he tickled her planting kisses every where he could find. Her head her face her cheeks

The little girl desperately tried to cover her face with her tiny palms to escape the sweet kisses, she twisted, and wriggled her body in his arms causing him to tickle her more, she let out bubbles of laughther, the beauty and innocence of her laughter echoed through out the lifeless office filling it with life and warmth.

" I miss you, I miss you so much uncle Williams" she shouted to her unrelenting uncle who was more interested in her giggles and laughther

"really now? You miss me and yet you refused to come and see me, you abandoned me" he said, bringing his hands to his as he pretended to cry

"am sorrrry, am so sorry, don't cry, I promise to visite you often from now henceforth, I also promise to bring you biscuits when next I visit, ill bring all of your favourite biscuits, don't cry okay" she consoled him, using her tiny palm to wipe away non existent tears from his face. She was really worried for him, he was her beloved uncle and she didn't want him suffering for lack of snacks. He nodded his head vigorously like a child,

"okay I promise not to cry, but I just don't want buscuites I want chocolate too"

He added.

"I promise to bring you the best chocolates in the universe" she responded raising her head to face the ceiling and stretching her arms as wide as they could go to potray the universe.

Williams set her down delicately on his table as he burst out in deep laughter, he reached for his phones and tablets, and slid them into his pockets. he had already decided to spend the day with the little angel, he picked up a piece of paper lying on his table and sat down, as he begun to plan their itinerary for the day deligently as though it was a two million dollar deal proposal,

" sweetie where do you think we should go first? The ice cream shop or the mall"

Her pupils lit up at the sound of the ice cream shop, her mom and dad never allowed her to have ice cream, only uncle William, it was one of the reasons she adored him.

"the ice cream shop! I want ice cream!" her eyes shone with glee

Julia stared in disbelief as she observed the loving exchange between the two, she blinked continuously , was she seeing things. Her brain struggled to register the reality it just witnessed. Was this the almighty ceo in whose prensence countless professionals' and experts trembled in horror of his anger. His sour mood was enough to send even the most confident of persons shivering in fear and trepidation. " does he deliberately put up that cold personality in public, or is he just nice to the little girl?" she wondered aloud, the idea of one person with two completely different personalities perplexed her, which of the two William is real. She was intrigued.

" ice cream it is then!, he responded with as much excitement as she did
