Chapter 8

Liam walks into his office and take his seat on his executive office seat and he swirl the seat sideways staring at his office.

He smiles and rolls up his sleeves to start his new day in office and he leans forward on his desk and switch on his computer to check with the company's record, waiting for the computer to boot.

He tick-tok count the time as he wait for the computer to finish booting. Just then his secretary knocks and he respond, "Come in."

Margret walk into his office holding a file and she smiles faintly to him and stare downward a little.

"Yes.. What's that your name again?" Liam ask her, as he stare to her pretty yellow face.

"Margret Jonathan" She says as she keeps smiling.

"Okay Miss Margret, what do you want or what can I help you with?" Liam ask, and she steps forward.

"Sir, Mr John Patrick brought this file this morning and he said I should hand it over to you" She replies as she stare to him.

"Okay, come drop it here" He point to the side of his desk that has empty space with only a few files there and she step forward and drop it.

She's a light skin beauty and thick as she looks a little chubby. She's also very tall and elegantly looking in her loosen suit, compared to the tight short blue suit she wore the previous day.

She drop the file on his desk and steps backward.

"Anything else?" Liam ask her, as he stare to her face.

"Nothing else boss" She smiles faintly and stare downwards again.

"Good, you can leave," he dismiss her and start typing in his computer as it already switched on.

Margret leave his office and keep on smiling as she step out to join the rest of her colleagues working on the third floor with her, as they're all divided with a transparent glass wall and you can see the next person office and table and also client the person is attending too, except for the boss's office that's built separately with closed doors and walls.

Liam continues with his office work forgetting to check the file Miss Margret brought to him in the morning, until it's time for lunch and as he stand up to leave his office and goes to the company's cafeteria downstairs, as he has been busy since morning checking a lot of records and new supplies made, he sees the file and sigh as he haven't check on it yet.

He remember Mr John Patrick is the same man his father had spoken to him about courting him with the man's daughter and his brows furrows already knowing what's in the file.

He isn't the one responsible for employing new staffs as they've separate department responsible for employing new staffs in the their firm.

He sigh and decide to go out for his lunch first and when he return he will check the file and hand it back to the department responsible for employment of new staffs.

He walk down to the second floor where the cafeteria is and some of the female staffs have a frown on their faces as they spots him approaching.

They knows he's the one whom implemented the new silly rule of not wearing tight outfit or short wears and rather oversized and loosen outfit to work.

Liam's less concern about their looks or frowns and he walk to take his seat as they only have one hour for break and he has already spent some few minutes staring around in his office before he finally step out for lunch.

He take his seat and the waiter come up to take his order.

"Just fried and chicken" he respond, as he pick the menu he want.

He meet the intense gaze of Margret Jonathan on him and he shift his gaze away from her and the waiter return with his request and serve it on his table.

He starts eating and after his lunch he walk back to his office to continue with his office works.

Margret has already fallen in love with him from the first day he arrives the company and his father introduced her to him on the fifth floor in his office.

She's very happy she isn't in any serious relationship and wish he can just ask her out to be his woman instead.

He's dark, tall, huge and her kind of guy as she loves dark skin men in particular and he isn't just any how dark skin man, but the CEO and new general overall manager of BENSON GROUP.

She smiles hoping he will notice her and ask her out as she isn't bothered he asked the female staffs to wear oversized clothes, in short, she's more than happy with that, so her colleagues won't seduce him first before her as some of them still goes into his office to see him for some other of his requests, as they've different sectors managing the company's affairs and requirements.

She sigh as she quickly finish her lunch.

She's a 27-years old lady and she heard he's 30-yrs of age and the only child to his parent.

What a perfect match she thinks, as she knows his mother is a peaceful, god-fearing calm mother. Unlike some troublesome mother-in-law that she may have to worry about.

Thru with her lunch as she's having her lunch with a male colleague of hers whom work in the production team and he's also like the head there as his rank and position in the company is a bit higher, with his dedication and diligence in carrying out his office works, Christopher Edmond a light skin man and he's asking her out to be his woman.

She sit with him having her lunch but her mind is totally on the CEO as Christopher is only just a worker like her, while the CEO is the main boss and owner.

Although Christopher is two years older than the CEO as Christopher is going to 32-years but she doesn't like him that much.

"Thru with my lunch, I have to go now, you know the CEO is still new and am still his secretary" Margret says to Christopher as she stand up from her seat.

"I know Margret, but you ain't his personal assistant and besides the CEO is very hardworking, so I doubt he really needs much of your presence around him" Christopher respond.

"You're only saying that because you ain't in the third floor with us, Assuming you're on the third floor, you will know how serious and work smart we work sitting there besides the boss's office, I have to go now" Margret replies to him coldly and he gulp.

"Wait Margret, Am not stopping you from leaving either, besides I have to go back to the fourth floor too now, but how about my proposal to you, You haven't given me a response yet?" Christopher ask her and she frowns.

"I know Chris, but am still thinking about it" She replies as she bites on her lower lips and he likes how she called him Chris and bites on her lower lip too.

"So what do you say, I have even been asking you for your contact and you don't want to give me. You know I cannot ask from any of your colleagues, please just give me your card number, I will place a call across to you tonight."

"Chris.." She hum his name and just then, they hears the sound of the buzzer indicating that lunch is over.

"Am sorry Chris, but I have to go now, probably some other time" Margret says leaving him speechless as she immediately walk out from their table of two seat and quickly made her way out from the cafeteria too.

She walk upstairs using the stairs as a lot of staffs are also exiting the cafeteria too and retuning back to their working position in the mighty five-story building company, That's very wide and big in width.

She step into the third floor and quickly walk over to her glass office to take her seat.

"What took you so long to arrive?" Bambam Davis, one of her colleague on the third floor ask her, as she made her way towards her office seat.

"Nothing, didn't you just heard the buzzer, it rings lunch is over" Margret replies coldly not liking the dark skinned beauty in front of her.

"Really, then tell that to the boss when you see him, as he called your line just now and you didn't picked it up" Bambam retort coldly to her.

"He did?, Why didn't you just said that, other than waste my time asking me silly questions. Have you gone to answer him, did you pick my call?" Margret question, but Bambam scoff.

"No.. Why should I?" Bambam cross her arms around her chest and stare to Margret coldly.

The supervisor on the third floor step out as his work is to monitor the staffs and see if they're in their usual working position.

"What are you two chatting about?" The head supervisor, Mr Mavin Newton ask.

"Nothing sir," Bambam quickly respond and walk back to her own open office that's across and opposite to Margret's office while Margret continues to stare to Bambam coldly, as Bambam is very black and a hot seductress too.

She hates Bambam and sees Bambam as a threat as Bambam also have interest in the new CEO.

She bites on her lower lips angrily as she continues to stare at Bambam coldly, whom sit and smirk at her.

"Argh!" She grit her teethes in anger, and just then her office line rings out again, startling her and she immediately pick up.
