We might think things are progressing quite slowly but character development is key, Lee standing up to her boss with more than enough audacity is something I live for... If at all Jared would accept her back, she has to have some spine, regardless of the fact that Ryan's her boss. Always Writing, T. C. SARAH

My speech and financial analysis had been going on for about 25 minutes and I had less than 10 minutes to round off.“As the year runs to an end, we implore our clients to make a few rash decisions and get loans from us.” I joked and the crowd laughed.“But on a more serious note, think three times before you make that decision, I know what it feels like to make a mistake and want to turn back the hand of time.” My gaze found Jared’s, it took all of me to not exhale loudly into the microphone.“Problem is, you can’t.” I smiled sadly and moved my eyes away from him, anymore and I would burst into tears.“If you’re going to make a decision, make sure your CFO’s are aware, they are your best friends. We loan and you return but more than that, we expect your investments to yield a massive increase or how else do you expect us to eat?” I joked again.I had no idea I could work a crowd that good, even Jared cracked a smile. I knew because I always had him in my peripheral vision, always.“T

I hadn’t drunk anything through the night so I was surprised to see a hallucination of Jared in his car, calling. I almost laughed at myself. The car honked again and I almost screamed.He was really there.“Are you coming?” His voice sounded gravelly low and my ass was freezing off in the light material they called a dress. I hurried into his car and shut the door closed. I almost moaned as the heat of his car turned my frozen bones into warm goo.“Thank you.” I croaked, unable to look him in the eye. I looked ahead and he started the car without saying a word.My phone flashed with a text message and I took a look at it, welcoming it as a distraction. Immediately I opened the message, I kissed my teeth.Where the hell are you?I already left sir, it was getting pretty late. I fired back. I wanted to ignore him but no matter how much I wanted it, I couldn’t ignore my boss, especially since we’d gone to the event together.I see, with your fiance, it seems. I looked behind me almost as

Jared burst in through the door, his eyes alarmed.“Oh my God.” I screamed for an entirely different reason. His gaze ran the length of my body, worry evident in his face.“What happened?” I had my hands covering myself but I still felt exposed.“Nothing. The shower… I was expecting it to be hot.” I looked up at the shower head that I’d hurriedly turned off immediately the water hit my body.“It was cold.” Jared said in realisation.“So, you’re fine.” I wasn’t, my teeth had started to chatter again but in the way he’d meant it, I was. I nodded. He visibly relaxed and I felt somewhat warm on the inside, he was worried something had happened to me.I didn’t know what to do, I was stark naked and he was in the bathroom with me. As if reading my thoughts, he turned away quickly, muttered an apology and left me alone.Even through the cold shower, which was much needed after that encounter, my skin remained red. I quickly dressed up.“You can use the shower.” He was seated in the same posit

Jared said nothing so I continued speaking. It’d probably be the only chance I’d ever get to tell him how I really felt.“I’m sorry.” I repeated.“Why are you sorry?” I sniffled.“I am sorry for everything that happened between us. I know we can never be together, not just because of what happened but because you deserve better, better than someone who has more problems than an average person should.”“Over the weeks, I’ve come to realise that whatever happened, while devastatingly terrible, was good as an eye-opener. Imagine getting married to me.” I chuckled and wiped my face.“If I’m being honest, I’m not sure what happened. I loved you and I wanted to be with you but I didn’t think I could handle how much that would mean and I started to withdraw. I never would’ve cheated on you because I didn’t feel that way towards Ryan, but I couldn’t pretend that I wasn’t somewhat drawn to him, maybe because we had a similar background and we could relate well.”“All my life, I’ve been around

I closed my eyes and opened them again, I wasn't seeing double."What?" I'd completely forgotten he was in the same room as me, that was how silent he was."Something isn't right about this..." I hadn't expected him to be interested but he turned around and stood behind me.I could feel the heat of his body and that of his breath against my neck, despite the cold and I squirmed in my seat."This is supposed to be our annual report, it was attached to a number of files here, but this isn't the report I handled for the event or what I've been handling for the past one week. This is different.""How do you mean?" Goosebumps erupted on my skin, Jared had moved closer and his hands were spread behind my back.I quickly pulled up the records I had from the system and I actually wasn't hallucinating the figures."That doesn't seem right." I looked up at him and there was a frown on his face. He was right though."There's a bunch of zeros missing." He glanced down at me and I looked away hurr

Monday at work, I avoided Ryan like a plague. If he was coming one way, I would go the other way. Judy was back at work too and I couldn’t help but feel her eyes on me every once in a while.‘Hey mama.’ I smiled at Aly’s text.‘Hey. How are you?’ I texted back.‘Aarav’s mum is driving me nuts.’ I giggled.Apparently, Aarav’s mother was staying for a few days at their place because she had things to do in the states and it just seemed more economical to stay with them.I rolled my eyes at that when Aly told me. She could damn well afford wherever the hell she wanted to stay, she just wanted to see her son really. She would wake up earlier than they did and she made more than enough noise to keep them groggy every morning.‘Sorry. When is she supposed to leave though?’ I looked at my screen briefly and minimised the tabs I’d kept open and hibernated my system.I excused myself from the office for my coffee break, almost bumping into Lilian, another coworker of mine who seemed not to li

I rubbed my eyes and looked at my phone.‘Fuck!’ I was running out of time. I had a few hours left and I felt like I hadn’t done a lot.After a short while, I realised that, the amount missing from the account I handled at work was a couple hundred million and everything surprisingly summed up to the other accounts Ryan had personally asked me to handle, the companies that seemed not to be in business.‘Were they offshore accounts, disguised as defunct companies? What account was the real one? The missing money, was it diverted into multiple off shore accounts or the money in the offshore accounts were simply sent into Marque and Co.?’ I shook my headNo, that last thought didn’t make sense. No one used an offshore account to send money into somewhere else, they were usually accounts meant to hold money.I grabbed my hair in frustration, there was no way I was going to figure this shit out before tomorrow. I slammed my laptop close in annoyance and lay on my bed.I turned to the corne

I turned to the side and I smiled at myself in the mirror, I couldn't remember the last time I dressed up because I wanted to.‘Be happy Leah Thomas.’ It took a lot of motivation to get up in the morning these days and a lot more not to look homeless. I closed the page I’d been scrolling for the past half hour shut down my laptop. I was house hunting, living in the motel had most likely depleted my life expectancy. Today was also supposed to be Tolly’s last day and I wanted to see her, at least before we finally parted ways for good, she was leaving the country to stay with her mother in Norway.“Where’s Tolly?” I asked the new guy who seemed to be arranging a few things on the desk behind him. He turned his head and narrowed his eyes at me. Had I said something wrong?“She fucking left, everything is so fucking disorganised here.” He groaned and slammed a book on the table, making me flinch in surprise.“Sorry?” I said, unsure why he’d decided to unload his frustrations on me. He j
