Chapter Four

Vera's POV "Good morning, sire," I greeted with a bow, but he just walked past me, ignoring my greetings as usual. Änyways, I'm a mother of three, whose husband abandoned her for years and never showed up anymore. I've been struggling to Feed, clothe, and care for the kids for many years, I'm glad they've finally grown up and can take care of themselves, and I've gotten a good job now, unlike before. Up till down, I don't still get why my husband ran away from home, and I'm still curious about it.My second baby, Agatha is a great cook, with her cooking skills, I was able to secure a job as a secretary in this clothing/modeling company. She was working in a well-known restaurant, many people loved the restaurant cause the dishes were always mind-blowing. My boss happened to go there one cool evening to have his dinner, since he's a single man, and his sons are grown and married, and they stay far away. My daughter was opportune to handle his dinner that blessed evening, and with that, she captured the man's heart. My boss, Mr. Mavis was forced to make enquires about her, and he got the right information from my daughter's boss, then. From that evening upward, he never stayed back from the restaurant, morning, noon, and evening, he goes there for his meals. When my daughter resigned, he was stranded and rejected any other food that was given to him and asked for my daughter's lustful meal. He asked for my daughter's home address and he was directed to our place, he came one Early morning with foodstuff and asked my daughter to prepare him a delicious meal, and she did. He asked me to see him and begged me to work for him, so I can be delivering my daughter's food to him every morning, noon, and evening, and I've been doing it, and with this, my salary is mouth-watering. "Are you just gonna stand there and think about irrational things this early morning?" Someone said jerking me out of my thoughts, and that someone is my Charming boss. I never mentioned that he's cold and arrogant, yes, he is. Though he's old he's still cute and alluring, no one except me knows I've been crushing on this man from the very first day I met him. I'm glad he's single, just like me, and that alone gives me hope of getting him to myself. "Sir, you don't have much work to do today," I said following him at his back and heading to his office. My office is just beside his, I see all he does and hears all he says, listen to all call he makes. "Mention the few," said opening the door of his office, and walking in as f he owes the world."What a proud whelp," I cursed inwardly. Though I like him he's so proud even more than the peacock.His proudness is very palpable, and my love for him is not palpable it's the opposite of stark. He sat majestically on his chair, letting his ego suffused all over, smiling like a Scion, wriggled gently."Go on, mention," he gestured and became so pedantic to what I was about to say."Errrmm.., si...re," I stammered, feeling nervous already, it's crazy working for someone you love, I'm that's my plight right now. "Buckle up," my mind screamed at me."Sire, our new models you employed will be here today, to model with our new designs created, and your attention is highly needed there," I paused, expecting him to say one or two things but he didn't. He was also expecting me to go on with the mentioning, the silence was awkward, and moved to the next thing on the list. With a scintilla courage, I voiced out, Hope you're with me, sire?""Of course yes, go on," he replied without sparing me a glance."Officials from Dubai are coming today by 1 pm to get our designs and they are buying in bulk. Okay, hope that's all?" He asked, Attempting to get up from his sit."Yessire, have a great day," I said moving out of his office to mine. One thing I can't do and can never do is force and throw myself on him, that's for the kids, not old people like me. Maria POV "Jezzz, I'm fuckingly late, what do I tell my boss, that arrogant and ugly boss of mine," I just hate my boss for no reason, I mean, he's always mean, arrogant, and always shouting at every one in every slightest mistake. I'm sick and tired of him already, I should just find another job and quit this one already. I'm glad I'm not his secretary, you need to see how he treats his secretary, so freaky stupid. I'm Just a normal worker, there and yes always picks on me as if I'm his worst nightmare. "Good morning, sir," I heard people greeting him immediately after I entered the company. How annoying when he seizes to answer, I just hate him. I'mnott greeting him today, I mean what's the need to greet someone who will never answer? Let me borrow my sister's behavior today, I just love Agatha's behavior at times.I walked past him and shouted to everyone's hearing, Good morning, family..""Good morning, Maria," they all replied with smiles and giggles.My boss stood there speechless as I walked to my sit, I'm glad I'm able to host him as I planned, fuck his ego. "You arrogant, Witch. Were you taught not to greet your boss on a Monday morning, huh?" He said fuming with anger but I decided to play dumb. I stood up and walk off the office to the backyard with my earphones in my ears. I knew he was going to follow, he should so I can give him a piece of what I think of him. I don't wanna Insult him In front of everyone, he should just follow me, and he did. "Hey, bitch, stop there," he shouted coming After me but I didn't mind, I kept going."Arrogant cloth pole...""You know you are the arrogant one here," I said, interrupting. He's cute no doubt, I like his cuteness, I'm even crushing but I can't let him treat me anyhow."How arrogant am I, bitch," he said coming close, which made me move backwardly, till I got to lean on the wall."Run,' 'cause won't spare you," he said with a dark chuckle."Mr. Arrogant, what can you do? Other than shouting at people, acting rude, and looking down on others. I'm glad you even get to pay us on time.""You have a sharp mouth because you know I like you, right?" His countenance changed to that of sadness."Why can't you see that I love you, do you hate me that Much? I mean all girls are always throwing themselves on me but you ain't doing that, you got a man?" My heart almost melts due to his sweet and cool words but hell no! Guys are deceivers. "Enough of this drama, Mr. Arrogant, and if you could excuse me, I have a lot of work to finish up this morning," I said, making an attempt to leave but he pushed gently but quickly to the wall, and placed hands on the wall, drew his face closer."Ain't you afraid?" He said smirking evilly.
