Chapter 43

KIEL POV

Thankfully, I met Sara sitting alone in the living room. I began searching for Tasha with my eyes. It is possible that she could be hiding even under the couch. And yes, Sara caught me searching.


"This is what you get for messing around with these women", she said.


"Ma, please do not judge me", I answered laughing.


"It's time you get into a committed relationship", she said looking very serious.


"I'm working on it", I said and began walking to the dining table to have breakfast.


Did I just say I'm working on it? I had no girlfriend or woman in my life at the moment. The only woman I seemed interested in was Miss Maybelle Jonathan. And I had no idea if she was in a serious relationship.


While I ate the French fries and chicken, I called Frederick.


"My mannnnn", I hailed.


"Guy what's up", he answered.


"I'm alright. What time are we meeting today"?, I inquired.


"I have no idea bro, but just know it'll be noon. I'd keep in touch with ya", he answered.


"Okay. See you soon", I said and ended the call.


"Are you enjoying the meal"? Sara walked up to me asking.


"Of course. I love every meal you prepare", I said.


After a few minutes, I finished eating. I kissed Sara on her cheek and rushed out of the house.


"Goodbye sir", Usman said, giving a hand up to wave.


I waved back and got into the car. I turned on the Bluetooth and connected it to my phone. I kept nodding my head because I enjoyed the music echoing through the speaker. It was runaway by Kanye West.


The streets were busy as usual. Garbage trucks, delivery vans, dispatch riders, pedestrians, cabmen, and human beings flooded the streets.

I was early enough to beat the morning traffic, thankfully.


From the house to the office, was just an 8-minute ride. Immediately I got down, I met Ariella, holding two cups of a double shot latte.


"Anyone for me, I asked, smiling".


"Good morning Sir", she responded and handed one cup to me.


"Thank you".


Ariella was my secretary. Her office was close to mine so it'll be easy for her to be at my beck and call. She was really attractive but I never mixed work with pleasure. It was of utmost importance to maintain such boundaries with your employees.


"Good morning sir", I heard one of the employees call out, with a wave.


I nodded and opened my office door. I walked into my office and lay on the sofa. Yes, my office had a sofa, a restroom, artwork, and an amazing view to behold from the window. It was an amazing space.


I stood up after taking a series of deep breaths on the sofa. I headed to my work table and began working on the business deal between myself and Pablo.


Frederick POV

I was surprised to have woken up in Kharis's room. Of course, I hit my hand on my head in disappointment, I wasn't in my room so my alarm didn't wake me up.


I turned to look at the time and it was 8:36 am. Why didn't she wake me up 😭? And where the hell was she. I searched the room with my eyes but she was nowhere to be found. I got up from the bed and went to her bathroom, but she wasn't there either.


I sat on the toilet and began taking a shit. Suddenly, I heard the door open and in a few seconds, it was shut again.

" Who's that"?, I asked but got no answer.


I immediately tidied up myself and left the bathroom to the door. As I reached the door, Kharis opened it before I could and met me. She seemed startled. I heard her shoulders and asked, "Is everything, okay babe".


"Yea, you just startled me. Where were you? I checked earlier and you were not on the bed. I figured you had gone to your room. I checked there as well but you were absent", she said, sounding worried.


"I was in the bathroom when you came in. I tried calling out to you but I think you walked away already to go check my room".


"Hmmm", was the response she gave.


"Why didn't you wake me up early?", I asked her.


"Are you going to work today?'' she asked, her face looking surprised.


I laughed at her.

"You do not want me to go yeah", I asked, rubbing her shoulders.


"I wish you'd stay here with me but you have to go right"?, She asked.


"Yes baby. But I'll be back soon, I promise".


I kissed her forehead and pushed her aside gently. I walked into my room and began preparing for the office.


I took a quick shower because damn, I was running late.

I hoped breakfast was ready though.

"I'll have to get a new maid, Kharis is no longer a maid, I thought out loud.


I dressed up in a button shirt, trousers and shoes. I applied perfume, picked up my phone, and walked downstairs. As I moved on the stairs, I scrolled through my phone. I had not had the time to go through social media in the past few days. Just as I was about to log into Instagram, Kharis appeared in front of me.


"Breakfast is ready. Hope you are eating", she asked, placing her two hands on her waist.


"You look so cute, doing that", I said and pressed her breasts playfully.


"Hey", that hurts…


"Your boobs are hurting? Since when?", I asked.


"It started this morning. I guess I'm about to see my period", she said and walked into the kitchen while I sat at the table.


Just as I wanted to dig into the sandwich, Kiel called me.


My mannnnn", he said excitedly.


"Guy what's up", I answered, biting into the sandwich.


"I'm alright. What time are we meeting today?, He asked.


I licked my lips and said, "I have no idea bro, but just know it'll be noon. I'd keep in touch with ya".


"Okay. See you soon", he said.


Just as I was about to respond, he ended the call.


I shrugged and continued eating the sandwich. Kharis came out with a glass of smoothie.


"Thanks, babe", I said.


She smiled and walked inside the kitchen, swaying her hips seductively.


"You do not want me going to the office", I said loudly.

I didn't mind going into the kitchen to give her a quickie. She was ready for it, and I was too.


"Babe, I'm leaving now", I yelled so she could hear me.


She ran downstairs, hugged me, and whispered sweet nothings into my ear. Every word she spoke made me smile…

She was everything I asked for and more.


"I'll be driving the car today", I said to Lois. I had no good reason for driving the car to work. All I knew was that I wanted to be on the steering wheel.

It was a smooth ride to the office...
