Episode 5

Shaquan

No one dares to treat my manager like they dim fit, No one, not even You!

" I've taken what I needed, just lock them up till further notice" I smiled at the police officer who bowed before heading out.

Why's she not here yet?

" Shaquan" I turned at the girl running towards me.

" You'll drive to the company now" I ordered sternly as we made our way to the car.

" Did you get it ?" what I'm I going to at the company of I didn't get it yet.

" After today, I only want to see you on Friday" I ordered and she nods in agreement before hopping into the car.

"Why are we heading to the control room instead of the director's office ?" She asks in a very tired tone.

" Do you think it's only the director that has doubts about you? everyone in the company thinks you're a bully" I explained to her whilst rushing to the control room.

"Direct this video to all the rooms in the company, direct the audio to the speaker so everyone must listen to it!" I ordered and the security's started to work on it with immediate effect.

Lia

The video is been played while we walk to the director's office...

"We're sorry for misunderstanding you L... Manager Lia" The executives pleaded but the person I needed to hear an apology from isn't here.

"Where's the Team manager?" Shaquan asks the clerk, who pointed at the place he was.

" I don't think I need to tell you what to do" He smirks at him.

" I'm sorry for misunderstanding you Lia.." he cuts him off.

" Manager Lia" I almost laughed because it was just too funny.

" Manager Lia," He said bitterly.

" Bye for now" He holds up his car key whilst scurrying away...

"Hello, this Is Lia talking from Ace" I speak in a professional tone, thinking it was an important call.

"Well done…Who asked you for the self-introduction?"

Who's this one?

"A fool is ranting," I think that's what she needed not a calm Lia.

"You did well in finding the evidence but do you think God will always be on your side?" she asked and the way she talked seems like she was at the scene when everything happened.

"As long as I don't stop praying" I ended the call and strolled to the bus station.

Wait, Shaquan told me not to see him until Friday but he has a show tomorrow

I was about to send him a message when I received a message from the anchor.

*The show has been moved to Friday evening* I read in between the lines with so much excitement.

I'm getting a day off!

A few minutes later

" Home sweet home" I fall to the couch and spotted a bag on my table...

Who came over? I scuttled to the table to check what was inside the bag.

" Wear this on Friday" I read out the contents from the note which was from Shaquan.

Since when did this start? He won't stop wavering my heart when it shows he doesn't love me.

I threw the bag at the door angrily, almost crying when I remembered how he kissed Ava romantically.

" Babe" I turned to the door to see Joshua standing by the door with the bag I threw still on the floor.

He might see it and began to question me ..so I quickly ran to the door to pick it but stopped when I noticed he has the same bag...

" Are you going to stay there forever" I tried sounding calm.

I swiftly bend to pick the bag and threw it to a corner before going to prepare him something to drink.

" Here" He collected it from me and placed it on the table before pushing me beside him.

" I didn't tell you about the job because you were busy and I couldn't find a better time..and the girl was my.." I shush him halfway because trying to explain about the girl means something was going on.

" It's okay" I replied casually.

" Thanks for understanding.. here" He gave me the bag he brought.

" I need to leave now, there's no one at the shop" He pecked me and waved before heading out.

I fall back to the couch, as I quickly unravel the bag ..it was the same thing as what Shaquan bought.

" Wear this on fr.." I couldn't finish the note he also placed there because it was the same as what Shaquan wrote.

My gaze fell to the calendar and I saw Friday was ticked twice for something important...

I quickly ran towards it and it was our first anniversary.

" Oh my!" I exclaimed not knowing what next.

There are a fan meeting and a TV show so how in the world am I going to celebrate with him.

"You can't wear Shaquan dress, because he doesn't love you" I was thinking about all sorts of things.

I'll wear Joshua's own, Shaquan wouldn't even know.

Joshua

I remember vividly the same bag I brought was on her floor but I didn't mind about it.

" Hey" I called out to Rosanne, who's going to be my new boss by next month.

" I'm thinking if we should just go to a hotel instead of your house" She suggested and I didn't mind.

" Anywhere is okay by me as long as it's for work" I tried remembering her.

" Of course" She smiled sultrily.

We walked into the hotel room and I sat down on the couch since this is my first time at a hotel.

" Can we get to the work?" I questioned because she was pacing to and fro.

" Not so fast baby" I choke at the way she called me.

" Baby!, What baby?" I exclaimed.

" Yes, can't you be my baby ?" She is tempting.

She traced her hands on my shirt as shivers run down my spine.

"Please stop this, I have a girlfriend" I pushed her away slightly and tried leaving.

" A girlfriend! That hurts my pride" She acted like she wanted to cry.

" Am I not beautiful than her? She's too busy to care for you" She ranted unnecessarily.

" She's beautiful than you're and it's because of her work" I tried backing her up.

" Then go, your job is at stake, but if you stay here with me there'll be a multiply on your salary" She stated her offer and I found myself trying to succumb to this.

Forgive me, Lia

She pushed me on the bed as if she was waiting for this for a while. I wouldn't lie she has the best body shape ever as I quickly remove my trouser.

Been a long I did something like this but my job was at stake, I had no choice but to satisfy her desire.

We did the doable and sprawled apart on the bed with sweats trickling down my body.

There's no way lia will know about this, after all, she can't give me this

" Be my f^ck mate" She was getting dressed up when she said this.

" No, I can't.. there's nothing between us after this" I resisted immediately.

" You must be joking, we're talking about money $200 every week" I gasp at the sumptuous offer.

" I'll do.…
