Chapter Eight
Ryan got to the office the following day and met a different person on his secretary stand. he gently opened the office. A blue eyes shade stared at him curiously, she is beautiful in her natural looks and looked so angelic. They both stared at each other for minutes felt so lost in their own world before Ryan composed and clear his throat to get her attention.
"Who are you? Why are you sitting in my secretary's seat?" Ryan asked curiously
"Wait!!!... You are truly Ryan Collins? is so nice to see you sir... I'm your new temporary secretary sir and my name is Emily Walton" She said, pretending as she bowed her head to avoid his eyes. she silently prayed he would recognize her or else she's doomed.
Ryan looked at her curiously for a second before composing himself and asked her on his schedule
"Miss Emily Walton, Would you tell me my schedule today?.. I don't like coming here to ask my schedule but the other way round. I hope you understand Miss Emily?" He explained softly
"Yes sir, it won't happen again I promise" She said hurriedly as she highlighted his schedule accordingly.
Ryan returned back to his office gently and start working. Emily took a deep breath of relief that Ryan did not recognize her. She heard her phone rang.
She saw her mother's name on the caller and picked
" Hello Mom!!!!..." she replied softly
"My child!!.. how are you doing honey? How is work?.. you can't even call your poor mother and father Emily? is totally unfair my child " Her mother said sadly
"I'm sorry Mom, have been so busy this day but that's not an excuse mother" She replied slowly
"Have you heard from your twins sister?" She asked
"Yeah mom, I heard from her two days ago.. what happened to her mom? " she replied curiously
"Well sadly, your good for nothing sister has finally lost her job. very foolish girl" Her mother said
"What????... She lost her job? .. when" She yelled
"She came back home today with a letter and said, she's not longer working again" Her mother said
"But she told me about her job two days ago.. so she choose enjoyment over work?" She said, opened her mouth in shock
"She told you or she begged you to help her out? that girl is useless, imagine her coming home this morning dressed like prostitute" her mother exclaimed
"Why is she behaving like this? she's not a kid anymore, she loves fun than work" she said harshly
"Speaking of the devil" Her mother said, Monica noticed her mother on call, she knew she is discussing her matter with someone.
"I specifically told you mom not to discuss my personal life with strangers but you won't listen" Monica said angrily, she collected the phone from her mother and cut the call
"So your sister is a stranger to you?" she said
"That so called girl destroyed my life" Monica replied
"How so?.. because she refused to work as you this time??. uhhn !!! She kindly advise you like a human being but you refused and you think she destroyed your life?.. My dear, you destroyed your own life not that innocent girl who has better works to do unlike you useless young lady" She exclaimed angrily
"So now mom, you are siding her?" She asked her mother coldly.
"Yes because she's a better child than you could ever be Monica. Why are you behaving this way?" Her mother asked her sadly but she hissed
"Nonsense mom.. Total rubbish... I can't kill myself with work mom and you know that but you choose to ignore it and where is dad?" Monica said angrily
"Your dad is working unlike you Monica" She replied
"Will you stop before you pissed me off mom" she yelled
"And what will you do? leave the house? because I'm telling you the truth?" She asked
"Mom, I will stand here and watch you insult me because am in your house "Monica said, ran upstairs to pack her load and came out.
She was about open the front door when her father entered and stared between his wife and daughter
"What's going here?" He said curiously
"Dad, your wife told me to leave the house for her" Monica replied
"She what?.. why would she say that?" He asked curiously and stared at his wife
"Honey, asked your daughter... she lost her job today. because she choose her clubbing over her work... she said her sister destroyed her life because she refuses to help her and gently advice her to learn by herself but she refused... I was only telling her the truth but she's totally disagreed and decided to leave the house hoping I Namada will stop her.. never honey, this girl is stupid. Look Monica, if you want to go.. Get out of my husband's house " She yelled at her angrily
"Honey please, calm down.. I need you to calm yourself down.." He stared, touched her cheeks gently before he turned back to face his daughter
"So if you leave the house, will it solve your problem? if yes, then go ahead and it won't stop the fact that your parents are trying to make you understand the truth... we love you but you just choose to be so stubborn Monica.. we only want the best for you my child and you leaving the house is not the best option but if that's what you want, you are old enough to take care of yourself dear but always remember that your father's house is always open for your return " He said softly and peck her cheeks lovely. Monica looked at her parents and left the house with her car.
Mr Walton hugged his wife and wiped her tears gently.
Emily left her office to her boss office to remind him about his meetings
"Sir, your meeting start in about 5 minutes from now and your client is waiting patiently for you" She said as Ryan stood up gently. He entered his meeting room, saw drinks and snacks on the table with the client smiling happily. He looked at his secretary curiously
"What's this?" He asked whispered silently
"Sir, I'm sorry I arranged it without your consent" She whispered silently
"As long as my clients is happy, I'm good to go" He said, took his seat as Emily stand beside him. Ryan looked at her and signaled to her to sit beside him in an empty chair. She sat down gently. The meeting starts.
