Nikki was curious to know what the outcome of my conversation had been but I was more keen on dismissing her. I wanted to spend time with her and even force her to stay overnight but if I had to deal with my Rebecca situation before it was too late, I knew that now was the right time.
"She is predictable, she said she wanted to say hello because she was passing by." I rubbed the back of my neck, knowing how obvious that was if a lie.
She crossed one leg over the other and raised one suspicious eyebrow at me. "Chad..."
"Nikki, just ignore her please." I sat in front of her and poured her a glass of cold water. "You look like you can really use some of that."
She didn't say anything in response, successfully making me further uncomfortable.
"I'm sorry." I heaved a sighed, "trust me." felt a omo grow in my throat from saying the words especially knowing I was not worthy of her trust

“Rebecca what are you doing?” I retreated from her, my eye wide open in shock I had no proper reaction because it was utterly unexpected and my brain was still trying to understand what had happened and of course she had to take it the wrong way.“I see you are speechless, that means you are all in, huh?” she came even closer than before and pulled me loser to her face with a firm grip on my neck and that was all I really needed to snap back to my senses. “What on earth are you doing?” I raised my voice, harshly slapping her hands off of me, I did not care less if I was supposed to respect her but she was being disrespectful and nothing pissed me off more.

NikkiI stood from where I sat with furrowed eyebrows and my gazed fixed on Chad. "What is she doing here?" I was thrown back. My feet were unable to consume my balance and I felt trapped. I wanted to be out of there the quickest that I could.My eyes went back to Rebecca when she broke the silence for a confused Chad that could not stop scratching the back of his neck. He was clearly not expecting her to show up here and was not taking her entrance lightly.

“I just can't believe he would do that.” I sniffed and sat on one of the couches. I wanted to get things over with. If he had not been hesistant with accusing me like that, he was not worth my time at all.“What can I do?" Cornelius was trying his best to make me feel better and although I did appreciate it, it was not being helpful.

I stood to my feet, unable to process the worry that came with feeling this way."Are you drunk?" I asked after a while of thinking deeply about it."No." He said in a low voice.

"Nikki!" I heard Chad Bush bang his hand on his table causing me to flinch hard. I rolled my eyes from my desk and stood lazily to my feet.I had heard stories of irritated CEO's with anger issues but I think Chad had a justified reason to always get irritated at matters that involved me.I was one of the few people the dictionary defined as clumsy. I never intended for it to be that way but alas, that was always the situation.He referred to me as Nikki unlike many others that called their secretaries by their last names. I was half a step closer to losing my job if I ruined one more thing, Chad quoted."Mr Bush?" I acknowledged as I got to his office. He eyed me up and down and I wished so dearly that he'd instead cut straight to the point."Where is David Park?" He inquired slowly yet sharply. His voice wasn't raised and that was his 'I'm impatient and I might get angry' kind of anger.

"No, no, fuck this, no!" I stood to my feet immediately. How on earth could I have missed it? Something felt odd texting the photos, how on earth did I go to Chad's thread instead of Tom's?I picked my phone up to see what could have caused the misleading. I slapped my forehead when I realized how. Chad had texted me a message that conveyed a reminder to check my e-mail so I could edit the attachment he had sent.This was the end. I knew I had to go check my closet to find my apron so I could get it dry cleaned for pizza city. I was about to toss my phone out of my hands when all of a sudden, something fascinating caught my eyes. The message had been delivered but it had not yet been seen by Chad. He must have put his phone away right after texting me and that meant there was still a chance to stop him from viewing a picture with such content, which could and would cost me my job.It was twenty minutes after midnight but s

Feeling dead, I sat on my bed. I was in double trouble. First, I had in my hands the phone of one of the most influential women in town. It was just one phone but dramatic acts were not extinct and I was not going to be astonished if three billion helicopters hovered around my roof, just because they tracked me down.I buried my face in my hands and scratched my head furiously like it was the root of my problems.I could see it. Walking into the shop with my signature mop, my hair in a messy bun, my shirt not ironed because no.I sat like that thinking, unable to sleep. Well, that inability lasted five minutes because I closed my eyes and let the cool wind take me deep.*My alarm
Wrong number 4
I gulped, unable to believe my eyes. Chad had caught me. He stared at me in utter confusion and blinked on repeat as if trying to show himself that he wasn't seeing wrong."What on earth are you doing here?" Just then, he put me down and all of a sudden, I felt super short standing beside him there."I...I..." I stuttered, not knowing the right words to say. He furrowed his eyebrows suspiciously at me."You did not inform me beforehand about your presence, neither did we discuss your coming here so please explain yourself." He folded his strong arms across his chest.I took in his muscular appearance, the one he always hid behind his corporate suit, that my eyes were blessed by. He was wearing a black tank top and a pair of white shorts. He looked so 'not Chad'."Sir, I can explain." I gulped, my heart racing beyond the ordinary as it sat in its cage, waiting to be freed from the bondage o
