BREATHLESS [A story that will touch your soul]

EP 1; Placing the coffee mug on the glass table, "you know what darling, girls like you who always try to run away from dating and relationships, always end up falling in love at the end." Letting out a brittle laughter, "grandma I think you're under the influence of fairy tales. Or did you watch Cinderella cartoons before coming?" "Huh? I can't even remember the last time I watched fairy tales movie." "Then why are you talking bout dating and relationships? Because I know am not interested in them" Raising her eyebrows, granny Mathilda burst into laughter. Scowling her face, "grandma what's funny? I didn't say something funny" Slightly pinching and pulling bianca's cheeks, granny Mathilda chuckled, "yes dear, you just said something funny." Frowning confusedly, "how?" Taking a deep breath, "first of all, let me tell you something." She sat up properly and faced her. "Do you know that old men and women of my age  still goes into relationship?" Widening her eyes and mouth in shock, Bianca threw her hands in her mouth and gasped. "Ahh, you gat to be kidding me grandma" Nodding her head, "no darling, am not kidding, am talking legit." "But why do they have to go into a relationship when they're old and weak?" Shrugging her shoulders, "weird" Flicking her forehead, "oh you haven't heard of old people dating sites?" Frowning confusedly, "old people dating sites? No I haven't and why is it?" Chuckling, "okay I'll tell you" she whispered and explained. "Every woman needs a life partner, whom will watch over her, protect her and support her till the end of time. So no matter your age or who you are, you still need a partner." Sitting up properly, Bianca helplessly shook her head. "But it's not in my gene to date anyone right now, because–" placing her hand on her chest, she gave a doleful look and added, "I don't wanna suffer another heartbreak, please feel my pains" Patting the top of her head, she chuckled. "I do feel your pains too dear but heartbreaks are also part of life" Widening her eyes and mouth in shock, "huh?" Bianca shouted shockingly. "Uh huh, if you didn't date someone then how do you experience heartbreaks? Or do you just watch them happen in the movies?" P.S The cover page don't belong to me.

Brushing his eyes up and down simultaneously at her, he narrowed his eyes, "are you mad? Huh? Did you think this is a joke? I just cheated on my wife and you are talking nonsense? Is this how you are supposed to act in a situation like this?" He retorted angrily.

Holding the duvet cover on her chest, "sir but it wasn't my fault, you were the one who forced yourself on me. I didn't come to you myself, I was asked to get a–– okay I will introduce myself to you now." Placing her hand on her chest, "am Ruby Jones, am your wife's personal assistant."

Covering his face with his hands, "oh God, what have I done?" Looking at her, "listen am so sorry I did this to you, but can we keep it as a secret between us? I don't want my wife to find out about it, please."

Nodding her head, "it's alright sir, I promise to keep it as a secret between us. And I promise not to tell your wife about it."

"Okay fine, now start getting dressed before my wife suspects anything suspicious."

Nodding her head, "yes Sir." She said and started getting dressed.

"What do you mean by you were searching the whole place? I kept it in the drawer, is that too much to find?"

Lowering her head, "am sorry boss."

"Wait a sec, was my husband at home?"

Widening her eyes, Ruby vigorously shook her head, "n–no no no ma, he wasn't at home. I swear, I was the only one in the mansion."

"Then what are those hickeys doing around your neck?"

Widening her eyes, Ruby quickly covered her neck with her hair, "n–no no no ma, they are just birth marks and they have been there for a longtime." She lied.

Scrunching her brows, "birth marks? When did hickeys become birth marks, Ruby? I sent you on an errand and you went to visit your boyfriend? Is this the time to visit boyfriends or to work? Tell me!"

"It's the time to work ma."

Rolling her eyes, "please get outta my office and get to work."

Lowering her head, "yes ma'am." She replied and left.

Helplessly nodding her head, "Ugh, girls of these days." She murmured and continued scanning the documents.
