Favour questions Anita as the power supply turns on, allowing them to see her face turning red under the bright white bulb."Hey sis, What seems to be the issue? Have you lost your job? As she approaches Anita, Favour asks for a favor, with Esther walking behind her and Esther staring at Anita's face."Hey sis, what's up?"

Anita struggled to console her friend, Temisa, who was going through a difficult time. To make matters worse, Anita had made a questionable decision by allowing the CEO to kiss her, despite knowing that he was engaged to marry Temisa soon. The CEO's affection should have been reserved for Temisa alone, and not Anita.She exhales deeply and approaches Temisa, who is crying next to her car."I apologize for the unfortunate news." I can't understand your brother's actions. However, it was unfortunate that your mom chose to disown them. What about your father?" She asks, and Temisa lets out a sigh."He is not very talkative." It's frustrating that Martin left with her. I heard their voices that night. I heard moaning in the late hour of the night, but I didn't think to check Felicia's room."Is that really her name?" Anita inquires, and Temisa affirms.Agreed. "She's white, almost like you, but you're taller than her and she's short," Temisa responds."And your brother went with her.. Wel
Anita is curious about Liam's intentions as he unexpectedly rises from his executive office chair and approaches her with purposeful strides. His sudden presence before her catches her off guard.Despite her height, he still towers over her, causing her to catch her breath and feel her heart racing."What do you want to know?""Quiet," he whispered, silencing her with a gentle touch of his finger on her lips. She felt a jolt of electricity as his finger made contact, causing her to instinctively step back and stumble over her words."Sir, you wanted to see me?""Yes, I did," Liam responded, walking backward to sit on the empty client seat. He couldn't explain why he had touched her soft lips, but he felt an undeniable urge to pull her closer and kiss her passionately, as her natural pink lips enticed him.He sits across from her, maintaining a composed expression despite the strong urge he feels to possess her."Why did you ignore me yesterday and act like you never knew me in front o
Temisa enters the elevator and rides it to the third floor.She steps out and walks through the open passage, surrounded by glass offices. Some staff members stare at her.She composes herself, feeling a bit nervous as she confidently walks to the CEO's office.She knocks on his office door and hears him say, "Come in."Liam is sitting in his office and has contacted Brown, who is standing in front of him, dressed in a black suit, to come and help him buy another lunch as he left his lunch behind.He looks at his bride-to-be with surprise, as he hadn't anticipated her being the one at the door."Good afternoon," Temisa nervously greets him once more, her hands raised, holding the packaged nylon."I brought your lunch since you didn't eat much at the cafe.""Thanks," Liam says, dismissing Brown."You're free to go.""Alright boss," Brown gazes at the attractive young woman before leaving the boss's office.He mistakenly assumed his boss had romantic feelings for his secretary, unaware
Anita glances towards the sound of her name and locks eyes with the CEO, his intense gaze meeting hers. She quickly looks away, redirecting her attention to Temisa. A small, nervous smile appears on her face as she realizes she never mentioned to Temisa that she had ignored the CEO the day before.She musters the strength to walk towards Temisa's table, her feet feeling heavier with each step. Nervously, she greets the two of them sitting there, aware of all eyes on her."Anita, I've been trying to reach you but you haven't responded. Can you please let me know why?" Temisa asks her with a smile, but she struggles to speak."Temisa, can we talk about this at a more convenient time?" She quickly responds as a waitress approaches the table and serves Temisa and the boss sitting."Sure, I'll meet you after closing." "I need to talk to you about something important," Temisa says, causing Liam to tense up. He had been under the impression that Temisa's brother and Anita were involved in a
After finishing her dinner, Anita gets up and heads back to her room to sleep. With Glory now back in school, she peacefully climbs onto her bed and drifts off to sleep.On Monday morning, she wakes up later than expected after a long sleep."Oh no!" She quickly jumps out of bed and rushes into the bathroom to take a bath.It's 6:45am.She anticipates that due to traffic, she will arrive at work between 7:45am and 8am, resulting in her being late.After her quick bath, she promptly dries off and notices that most of her clothes from last week are dirty."Oops!" She quickly puts on her pants and bra, but her mother knocks and enters the room."Anita, Are you planning on wearing a costume? "What do you want?" Mrs. Tonia asked, wearing a purple nightgown. She enters the room, carrying Anita's breakfast of fried noodles."Morning, mom, She's already running late and hasn't had time to wash her clothes. The fear of getting fired today brings tears to her eyes."They will not." It's easy to
Mrs Tonia understands that if they don't visit the apartment now, they'll have to wait until the following weekend.She turns around and heads towards the main roads, saying, "Alright, let's go check it out. It's not like we're going to be crowded today." Once we have identified it, we will cover the expenses and gradually begin transporting our shipments with the person of your choice."Okay mom," Anita replies, glancing at her wristwatch."It's already 6:20pm," she says, "it will soon be dark.""Let's go and see it." We need to cross and catch another bus heading towards the area.They crossed the main road and a bus heading to the mainland pulled up in front of them. They got on the bus and Mrs. Tonia told the driver, "Amade Estate.""Alright, ma'am." The driver responds and Anita asks, "Another Estate mother?""Yes, but their apartments are rented while ours are individually owned." An estate provides enhanced security."Alright, mother."Anita remains quiet, observing the roads a
Anita gets up from the couch when she notices her mother leaving, shortly after Glory had left."Good evening, mother," she says, and Mrs. Tonia smiles in response."Are you ready?" "Where are Favour, Esther, and the others?""They're most likely in their rooms," Anita replies."Are you certain?" Please go and inform them that we will be departing shortly."Okay mom," Glory replied, eager to head into the corridor. However, Flora emerged with Lisa and greeted their mother."Evening, mom, Are you all leaving now? Flora asked."Yes," Mrs. Tonia replied."Sure, mom. I won't be able to join you right now due to transportation constraints, but I'll catch up with you later.""Okay," Mrs. Tonia replied, stepping out with Anita and Glory. Anita kindly assisted Glory in carrying her box, while Glory shouldered her school bag."Goodbye, Glory waves to Lisa, and Flora asks them, "Mom, shouldn't we eat before leaving? There's still time, after all."Mrs Tonia looks at Flora and realizes she forgo
Temisa is captivated by his deep, masculine voice and finds herself drawn to engage in conversation with him. Initially feeling bored and sad, she now feels a renewed sense of interest and excitement."I find it hard to believe that Sophia would sell me off for just a stipend.""Women are often motivated by financial gain and are willing to go to great lengths to appear attractive and extravagant," he responds."I'm not one to be easily fooled." Can you please explain the reason for your call and how you obtained my number? She asks him firmly and the call falls silent for a moment."To be frank, Temi.."Her heart skips a beat, beating faster, and she sighs before settling comfortably on the couch beside her."Please continue, I'm all ears," she encourages him to speak."Hey, Temi, I wanted to let you know that I have feelings for you and I was wondering if you'd like to go out sometime," he says, and Temisa lets out a sigh."Steven, I've made it clear since day one that we can't date
