CHAPTER 56

With these threats given to him by Scott, the official became more afraid and he confessed that,"He doesn't do much work because it was Emily that does most of the company official works and these happens when you don't collect her works so she used that opportunity to do our works so that you'll be able to use it.
All these while, it was only Emily that does all the works in this company that was making the company succeed I'm sorry sir". Scott was devastated then he left the company angry.
Scott's uncle heard what happened and was very angry and waited till Scott returns home.
Immediately, Scott returned home his uncle Robert Ken was very angry and asked,'How can you allow that poor lady to leave just like that huh? And now the company's profit is going down the drain and If anything should happen to your father's company you're the one to be blamed and he left the house angrily.
Scott was disappointed and angry saying to himself it all because of that girl that everything is happening to me ‘Arrh' who the hell does she think she is huh??.
Emily was deserted after she have resigned from her ex-job and was alone and frustrated. She had no choice than to look for another job. This time she's in almost all the interviews online. Luckily, she was given back her job in the Robinson Group of Companies but another by person(wicked) that wants to spoil the reputation that Scott built by using the one person he dislike most Emily.
At first Emily didn't like the idea but agree to it when he told her that he'll increase triple of her salary if she agree to his terms and Emily asked,'If I may ask, what terms Sir?' he answered,'If you enter the company now that your ex-boss doesn't allow you to do anything for him so in this way try to figure out what he does for the week and give me the feedback and one more thing if I call you once don't answer until the third ring and you must know that it me calling. Emily asked again,"Sir, may I know your name". He answered,'Is it a must you know my name huh but if you insist you can call me ‘The Unknown Man' and he left the place immediately.
The next day Emily resume her work and everybody was happy, but she wasn't happy that she was going to meet with her enemy again and maybe this time he'll laugh at her for coming back after I have resigned months ago, Emily thought.
Work resumed after Emily has returned and she never bothered him (Scott) too and Scott became very surprised at Emily sudden behaviour but never approached her because of his pride.
And for Emily, because she was not close to Scott she wasn't able to give ‘The Unknown Man' enough facts that he needed, he became angry at Emily and told her in one of their meeting at the balcony of the company that Emily should try to get closer to him even though he's annoying. Emily asked,'I don't know if it going to be possible, but I'll try my best. Then the man said,'Don't only try your best but more than your best and that's an order cos I'm now your new boss'. Emily was afraid and agreed to his judgement and left.
Emily worked and tried very hard to know Scott's secrets and details of his company's progress because she knows that when she's done with her mission she'll leave the company for good.
Scott on the other-hand started feeling guilty about what he has done to Emily and decided to seek for his sport manager's(Tony) opinion.
Tony came to Scott office later at noon and Scott asked,'Tony when you do something to a lady and the person cries and you want to apologize but unable to do so because you're afraid that she might embarrass you for what you've done to her, what do you think??'. Tony was surprised at his question but he answered,"You must try your possible best to make the lady happy always, and also make her forget her past experience and she'll forgive you" But hey buddy, by the way, Why do you bring that up now huh?'' I hope you haven't done anything bad to a lady because if that she dislikes you then, your female kids will dislike you too" Tony teased.
‘Oh! Stop that Tony' Scott answered.They laughed it out.

Emily is now a member of the Golden City Secretary's Organisation and they're holding a competition which include their bosses and if anyone that wins will be awarded.
Emily didn't know what to do because she was afraid of Scott her boss and how to talk to him about the competition.
The last time she tried to tell him about it he declined immediately. So this time she said to herself this is the best time to tell him about it one more time and if he did not agree I will never disturb him about any company events ever again (she thought).
After the secretary's meeting she went to Scott's office and arranged it and went to her duty post waiting for Scott's arrival.
Minutes later, Scott arrived and Emily greeted him and he answered and Emily was surprised because for the past weeks and days she worked in the Robinson's Company this was the first day that Dir.Scott Robinson answered to her greetings. Then, Scott saw that his office was arranged he was a little bit angry but had to calm himself then he rearranged it to its former position.
Emily saw what Scott did and was angry and decided to confront him, then she went to his office.
When, Emily went to Scott office pour out her mind immediately, she got inside the office and faced Scott she was stunned to confront him
Instead of her to say her mind she changed the topic and told him about the upcoming competition.
Scott said that he will not be able to go for the competition that he was busy.
Emily didn't allow to him to end his statement and was about to leave the office then Scott called back and apologized to her for rearranging the office himself and gave her the reasons why he did so and also told her that he'll see want he can do about the competition to make time to go.
Emily was silent, shocked, surprised and stunned with her mouth agape all the whole time.
Then, Scott asked her, ‘Is there objections to it ??'
Emily answered ‘No…o objection Sir(stammering) and she left the office and was about close door as usual but Scott stopped her not to close it instead he told her to slightly open the door so that when he needs her help he will call on her.
Emily didn't immediately do what she was told to do because she was more than surprise and confused in thought.
Until Scott brought her back to earth and asked, 'Anything else Miss Emily"?Oh.. no Sir! She said and left the office not after leaving the door slightly opened.
Then she went to her duty post and wisely staring at her changed boss and Scott was stylishly staring her aswell.
They both worked till the last hour then Scott said,"Time to go".
I'll not go home until I'm done with this work sir ! (Emily replied).
'Emily, it's already late so please let me take you home.
‘Sir, my decision is final' (Emily replied) even though she liked the idea but decided to act Proud and smart alittle. ‘Its okay but at least let me take you for a drink and please nothing will happen there I promise" Scott said.
‘Alright Sir, if you say so ‘Emily replied.
The went to a restaurant and this time Emily ordered for just a soda drink and same as Scott.
Emily drank a lot to the extent that she got drunk and Scott decided to take her home and Emily because of Scott was with she decided to make an act that she was drunk after taken few bottle of soda so as to say her mind to Scott by saying nasty things to Scott to make him feel guilty.

Scott felt guilty and took her to her apartment and departed to his house.
The next morning work started and there was a news that came from the social media that, ‘Emily and her boss Dir.Scott Robinson won the competition organized by the Secretary's Organisation of Golden City'.
Emily was very happy and ran to Scott's office to break the news to him but as she went inside the office she instantly became speechless and she changed the topic saying, 'Sir, I decided to check on you to see if you need anything' and was about to leave. Then, Scott called, ‘Emily'
Yes sir, Emily answered.
'Tell me the reason you came to my office because I know that it is about the competition results right"??
Yes..sir, Emily answered. ‘I've already heard about it this morning.' Any thing else you wanna talk about ??. ‘No..o sir,she replied and left the office.
Hours later, The Unknown Man summoned Emily and was threatening her to leave the company and that her work is no longer needed because she failed to a simple task she was assign to do.
Emily answered confidently, ‘Sir, I will do no such thing and one thing is my boss isn't you but Dir.Scott Robinson and he's a changed guy now and I also is a changed lady and you can do all you want to do for all I care'. She said courageously and left the man struggle with himself.
The day Scott and Emily went to have a drink and Emily got drunk. There was a poster written 'Vacant Room for Rent at five percent discount".
Then, Scott saw it and decided to rent for himself even though he owns a house but it wasn't Emily that rented the house to him but her mother named Susan Romero that collected the money for the rented house and she showed him places around the compound and told him that if he stays in the for more two years he'll get one year warranty and with this Scott agreed to the deal. Then Emily's mother left to inform Emily about the new tenant.
On hearing the news, Emily was angry because she wanted to give the room to one of her friend who got separated from her husband for a very long by name Sara Shin.
Emily got home early that day and decided to check on the new tenant that evening to know the person her mother talked about. Emily was infront of the tenant doorstep upstairs and knocked on the door of the tenant, then the tenant opened the door and greeted her.
After exchanging pleasantries then Emily raised her head like a boss and a landlady, Lo and behold she saw her boss Dir.Scott Robinson right in front of her and at her own house as a tenant. Then Scott saw Emily and was shocked aswell but didn't show it because of his pride so he decided to act like a boss this time by closing the door at her.
Emily got angry and knocked on the door again and this time she spoke with courage like a boss she is by giving Scott a strict warning by saying, 'Hello mister, you don't the right to shut the door at me because I am your Landlady and your home boss.
So therefore, from now on I'm your home boss get that into your thick skull".
Then Scott became kinda scared of Emily because he never knew she could be this scary and courageous he immediately apologized for his behaviour earlier and closed the door when Emily left.
Emily went downstairs and was proud of herself for what she's done earlier and thought on how to show him how a real boss is.
Then at the end she figured out how to give 'The Landlady rules and regulations" to her tenant Scott.
Then she wrote down the rules and went back to give it to Scott.
Scott came out of the room and collected the envelop and read the content and saw the rules and some of rules are:- 'Don't use so much water upstairs because your Landlady uses much water for domestic purpose, don't make noise unnecessarily, don't dance with a shoe or slippers that will make a single noise and if you want to dance then you've to get a shoe that makes no noise or a single sound"…..
‘Ma'am please what type of slippers did want me to wear'?? Scott asked confused. Emily answered strictly, ‘Any slippers that doesn't a noise when you're jumping or dancing. You get it huh??.
'Ye…s ma'am (stammering)" Scott answered. Emily said, ‘Thank you and have a good night sleep'.
Emily went back to her apartment feeling proud of herself for treating her boss like a tenant.

The Next day, Scott and Emily woke up so early and quickly dress up because Scott found out last night that the gate lock is a rotten one and it's really had to lock or open the gate easily. And Emily warned him strictly not make an attempt to change it without her permission.
Scott ran downstairs out of the house so that Emily will struggle with the rotten gate key. Emily became angry when she found out Scott plan and how he outsmarted her she began very angry at Scott but also had no choice to struggle with the Lock of house before she went to work.
On getting to the office, Scott summound Emily and said to her, 'Emily you are
Now my Secretary and I'm now your office boss so you will do anything I want you to do.
Therefore skip today's work and go to the market store and look for a slipper or shoe that doesn't make any noise when I'm jumping or dancing.
Emily was very angry, then Scott being a smart guy noticed her reaction he added, ‘Please do it quickly because it was my Landlady that made the rule so please hurry up before dawn.
Emily left the office angrily and went to the market she searched and searched in different market stores looking for a slippers that doesn't make a sound but at the end of the day she found a foamy big pair of slippers and sent it to Scott apartment.
Now, Scott is home and saw the slippers infront of his door and he wore it not depending how big it was he decided to wear it and he went inside, off his clothes and put on his headphone and started jumping and dancing around the house.
**Downstairs**
While Emily was with her friends, one of her friends was disturbed by the noise she was hearing upstairs and asked Emily, ‘Hey girl what kinda tenant that makes noise so loudly' Sara asked. 'Pls let ignore him, he usually acts like a mad man and let continue with our discussion' Emily replied.
Scott and Emily lived like cat and rat in the compound until one certain night a young man dressed like a hooligan came to the compound and Scott saw him as he came out of his room and fought with him until Emily came back shopping and saw them fighting each other and stopped them and Emily decided to get hold of the hooligan and unveiled his hood and found out that it was her younger cousin brother that Scott fought with.
First Emily scold her brother for dressing like a hoodlum and for his rudeness and also scold Scott aswell for not figuring out who the person was or want he wants before picking up a fight with each other. Scott was surprised but had to apologize because she was his Landlady.
When Scott was about to go inside his apartment Emily found out that he had an injury she dressed his cousin injury and discharged him then she ran to Scott doorstep and she knocked. Scott opened the door and saw Emily staring at him with a first aid box.
'What is it ma'am"? Scott asked. Emily replied'I came to treat your wounds. Okay ma'am he answered because he had to agree if he don't want to be screwed by his Home boss.
In less fifteen minutes, Emily finished the treatment and dressed his wounds but refused to go.
Then Scott asked, ‘Anything else ma'am'? 'Pls it seems like there are some bad boys around the compound and I'm afraid please can I stay with you for a night"? Emily asked. Scott answered,'No, there's vacant space here ma'am'.
Then, Emily said, 'Pls if don't allow me in then I'll sleep in front of your room outside."Scott answered,"Emily I bet you won't" and closed the door after letting Emily out.
Emily slept outside for a hour then Scott decided to check on her whether she was still outside in the cold. He opened the door and was surprised to still see her outside alone sleeping on the floor.

Scott opened the door and was surprised to still see her outside alone sleeping on the bare concrete floor so he decided to wake her up and take her inside but told her to sleep on the couch. Emily went inside his room and saw how decorated and neat it was and how his bookshelf was arranged around his room instead of Emily to go and sleep she decided to look at the bookshelf and was about to take one of his book to read; Scott stopped her and said, ‘If you don't want to sleep then you can go to your apartment'. Then Emily apologized and went to the couch to sleep but didn't sleep. She watched to see if Scott will doze off while reading so that she'll go and read the books herself.
Scott noticed what Emily wanted to do, so he decided to act along like he has fallen asleep then Emily thought he has fallen asleep, She tip-toed to the bookshelf and was about to take a comic book, Scott woke up and saw Emily.
At these time Emily was caught she immediately apologized and was about to go the couch, she turned to Scott and pleaded that she want to read for sometime (she said romantically) And Scott felled for it and accepted.Scott and Emily competed to read so many books and played like lover-birds until 2am in the morning before they went to bed knowing that in the next four hours will be time for work.
They slept like couples and Emily woke up first and went to her apartment dressed up and was ready to leave then she sighted Scott running downstairs but unfortunately for Scott, Emily figured out what he wanted to do then, she ran of the compound first leaving Scott alone to struggle with the gate.Scott struggled with the gate for thirty minutes before proceeding for work.
Scott and Emily were in good times together.
Until one fateful day Emily made a surprise birthday party for Scott because it was his birthday and Emily was to show case the cake to him with candlelight on it.
Then moment Scott saw this he immediately remembered the incident that happened to his father, he became very angry and scattered the small happy party. Emily was confused and scared and didn't know what she has done and thought that Scott didn't need her help and assistance anymore then, she ran to her duty post and was crying.
Scott himself after what he has done he felt guilty and scared for making Emily cry again.
Emily cried heartfully and went home but didn't talk to anybody.
The Next morning, Emily wrote a resignation letter and took it to Scott desk. Scott saw it and was confused then Emily said, 'Am sorry Scott for what I've caused you to be so angry like that but I have decided to do this because I've spent time in the company more than required and I have to leave you and the company Bye Scott", she said crying and leaving the office.
Then Scott stood up from his seat and ran to Emily and hugged her tightly from behind and said to her crying,"Em..ily am so sorry for what I did to you it wasn't intentional please understand, As I saw the cake and candle lights on it I suddenly remembered the fire outbreak that happened to me years ago that killed my father because that incident happened on my birthday. Pls.. Emily understand me. Emily said, ‘Scott am so sorry too but I have to go' and removed his hand and was about to open the door, Scott dragged her back to himself and hugged her tightly one more time and he said, 'Emily am truly sorry please forgive me". Emily answered,'Okay I have forgiven you but I have to go, please allow me to go, allow me to leave your life and your company so that I'll not cause you any trouble.Scott answered, 'Shhh….Please don't say such I beg of you, Emily please don't leave my life and please don't leave this company for me alone I can't control it without you by my side and if you leave me I'll leave you and this world aswell.
On hearing these words Emily became confused. 'What did you mean by you'll leave me and this world?", Emily asked.
‘Emi..ly I..L..O..V..E Y..OU' Scott said (stammering) then Emily asked, ‘What did you just say to me?'. Scott answered,"I said I LOVE YOU EMILY(loud) because you're the 'JEWEL OF MY HEART", The one who melted my Hard-heartened heart to a very Soft-lightened heart and I say to you Emily please don't go instead stay with me forever. Emily was shocked and couldn't say a word as tears rolled down from her beautiful eyes(Tears of love).
Then Scott said, 'If you leave me and the company alone, I'm going to kill myself." Emily cried heartfully and was shocked and didn't know what to say.
But, at the end of it all she agreed to stay with Scott and in the company.
And the officials and employees were very happy and excited because they were all behind listening to the drama and they applauded as Emily and Scott ‘Reunited'…
'What a sweet-hard lover birds" Tony said.
