Meanwhile ….Wilson Corp headquarters ….Matilda watched as everyone stood up from the desk and leave after waiting for Marshall for a long time, just as she stood up to leave, his assistant rushed into the room and towards her, by now everyone had already left.“Where is your boss and why did he have everyone come here without showing up,” She muttered slowly diverting her gaze to him as she picked up her bag and stood up to her feet.“We’re sorry ma’am, Sir Marshall ran into an accident on his way here,” he said to her, she almost jumped forward in a panic but she immediately stood back maintaining her stance as she exhaled deeply trying to keep her composure.“He’s been admitted into Hospital, he’s still unconscious,” He said, she nodded her head slowly and with a deep exhale, she walked past him and out of the room.Her mind could get off the fact that Marshall had just run into an accident, she hated that she was worried about him, because she shouldn’t be, she should be angry
“Tilda,” He muttered, she felt her breath catch in her throat, he was the only one that called her Tilda, and just like out times the way it rolled off his mouth greatly Appealed her, she fully turned to face him, she slowly stepped closer to him and stared down at his grip on her hand, She gently looked away from his hands and back up at his face.“I’m sorry for everything that has happened,” he muttered obviously struggling to speak, she just stood there a staring at him as he tried to speak to her, just as she made to reply, the door pushed open and Eleanor walked in.She withdrew her hands from him immediately, clearing her throat noisily she turned to look at Eleanor, Eleanor bowed slowly as she walked up to the bedside and picked up her phone.“I’m sorry, I forgot this,” she muttered and with that she turned around to walk out.“Eleanor,” Matilda called, Eleanor paused in her tracks and slowly turned to look at her.“I was just about to leave, I’ll drive you,” she whispered, w
Next day …Friday,Arthur walked towards the kitchen with a small yawn as he cleaned his eyes, he stretched out and his bones snapped, he couldn’t bring himself to sleep throughout the night, he just kept tossing and turning.He was just starting to come around his dad and the last thing he wanted in this life was to loose him to anything.He pushed the door open, paused in his tracks immediately he saw Zoey inside doing whatever it was, he riled up immediately his anger suddenly rising.“What the fuck are you still doing here!” He snapped, she jumped a little shocked at his sudden voice as she slowly turned to look at him.“I was just trying to fix breakfast for you guys, I heard about your dad and you do not seem fine,” she replied, he let go of the door immediately as he walked into the kitchen sand tiwards her, he stared at her with his arms folded across his chest starting to get irritated by her persistence.“I do not need you to make breakfast for me! I can do so for myself!”
Los Angeles ....2000"Mi Amore!"Matilda was in the kitchen cooking when Marshall came in. She heard his voice before she even saw him, and a smile immediately spread across her face."Mi Amore!" he called out again as he entered the room.Matilda turned around to see her boyfriend, Marshall, standing in the doorway with a huge grin on his face. She couldn't help but feel her smile grow even wider as she saw him."Hey, you," Matilda said as she walked over to give him a hug.Marshall wrapped his arms around her and held her tight, pressing his cheek against hers. "How's my favorite chef doing?"Matilda laughed and pulled away from him, swatting his arm playfully. "I'm doing just fine, thank you very much. What brings you over here?"Marshall shrugged. "Just wanted to see my favorite person in the world, that's all."Matilda rolled her eyes but couldn't stop the grin from spreading across her face. "You're such a charmer.""And are you sure your parents are fine with that?!" She asked
Los Angeles .....2023 ....Monday Morning "When do you intend to move this away from here!" Eleanor barked at the maintenance staff, who were lazily lounging around the front entrance. "This is not a dumping ground, it's a workplace. Clean it up immediately." Eleanor, had been feeling the heat of the impending arrival of the new boss. She got a message from the CEO of the company, Marshall Wilson. He wanted his son, Arthur Wilson to take over the affairs of that particular branch.She was previously personal assistant to Marshall Wilson and now she would automatically be personal Assistant to his son, Arthur.She knew Arthur had a reputation for being strict, bossy and a perfectionist, and right now she was trying to put everything in place before his arrival.As she walked past the desks, she barked out commands to the staff. "Make sure all the files are properly arranged before lunchtime!" She shouted at one employee. "Clean up your workspace and make it presentable!" She in
Next day ....Tuesday Morning8:00pm ....The elevator door opened and Eleanor careful looked around before she stepped outside gingerly.She looked quite pale, her face had lost it's color, like she was carrying the burden of the whole world on her shoulders."Wow wow and wow!" She heard someone say behind her and she stopped in her tracks immediately, she slowly turned back to face whoever it was.She sighed in frustration as her eyes went momentarily shut, Arthur had been the last person she wanted to see today, even though she knew she couldn't avoid seeing him.After threatening to quit her job yesterday and she couldn't, she had no idea how to face him."You're here to drop your resignation letter right, since I didn't get it yesterday and you left quite early!" He said, her grip on her bag tightened, she swallowed hard as her head slowly bent to look at her knees, she bit the insides of her cheeks in embarrassment."I'm talking to you, answer me!" He snapped."I'm - I'm - I'm "
Eleanor slowly opened her eyes and the first pair of eyes she met were Arthur's piercing brown eyes."Eleanor!" Her mom called immediately as she ran towards her and slowly placed her hands on her head, Eleanor hissed in pain and Racheal- her Mom slowly removed her hands,"Sorry dear," she whispered."Huh huh," Arthur cleared his throat and they both turned to look at him.He stared at him with disdain and utter disgust, as far as he was concerned they were both just pretending.Just like Eleanor did to win his dad over, but the pretence couldn't just work on him."Arthur, why did you do this to me?!" Eleanor whispered, rudely interrupting his thoughts."You have no right to question me!" Arthur snapped."You should actually..." Racheal began and Arthur raised his hands to her immediately and shut her up."I have absolutely nothing to say to you," he said curtly."It's you I have business with," he whispered as he moved closer to Eleanor's bed."What's this sneaky pictures you have wi
"My son will definitely not ruin any company!""And you shouldn't speak to him in that manner because of your little poverty alleviation scheme!" Penelope, Arthur's mom and Marshall's wife, said as she walked into the house and slammed the door shut."What the hell is wrong with you Marshall,""Screaming on top of your voice?! I could hear your every word since I stepped out of the car!""What is ever that serious!" She asked as she dropped her bag in the chair."I see where he got the phrase, poverty alleviation scheme from, I should have known it was from you!" Marshall snapped."Yes?! Is it a lie?!""He is your son Marshall and you should be on his side always, not siding with a random slum citizen!""I loathe the day you met her!""You know me too well Penelope! I won't be a party to Arthur's stupid acts!""Instead of you to tell him his bad behaviors you keep indulging him!""You made him this spoilt Penelope! You're ruining his life!" Marshall growled."Don't you ever dare!," Pe
