Chapter twelve

Marcus got to work in a bad mood that morning again, not replying to any of the greetings being sent his way he went into his office. News where being passed around again. The boss was in a bad mood.

Stella walked in slowly and gently to meet him.

"Good morning sir. You seem to be in a bad mood this morning" she said knowing the kind of response he would give.

"Mind your business!" He said loosening his tie a little and turning on his computer.

"Ok sir" she looked at her watch.

"You have a meeting right away sir. The investors are waiting in the conference room" she said handling him the file to the investment.

"You'll handle this today, tell Brian to be with you, I have few things to work on."he said handling her back the file.

"But sir.....this is a deal that should be closed by you.it may become....."

"Become what? You can't finalize a deal? If you can't tell Becca or Brian and you're fired."

"Sir?.....of course not, I can finalize it, I'll do just that, Brian will help me with this" she said and walked out.

Marcus knew he shouldn't have been so harsh on Sophie. It made him more angry that he must have hurt her with his bashful words. And he wasn't one who apologize, he never apologize to anyone.

Does he needs to apologise to her?

Stacy spoke with Sophie on the phone

"So how's your boss?" She asked

"Why do you seem so interested in my boss"

" Just asking, it good if i know the kind of person my friends working with, so tell me"

"The man is a scumbag, a real one. I really hated him for his hurtful words. I was only trying to help"

Stacy got excited and sat up to listen.

"What did he do?"

"He kissed me! My boss kissed me and the next day he acted like it never happened, Even apologized and told me it would never happen again."

"He kissed you?!" Her expression changed to fury. My man kissed you! She thought angrily.

" Yeah he did, I wouldn't lie am a little attracted to him and I thought he was too. But he ruined everything"

"Oh baby..that so sad, he's truly a scumbag."

"Am busy right now, cleaning precisely and still got tons of other things to do. Let's meet ony day off" Sophie suggested.

"When's your day off?" She asked setting up a perfect plan

"Saturday, Sundays. Pick one"

"Sunday will be great, got some things to do on Saturday"

"See you on Saturday then, bye bestie" she said and ended the call.

Bestie my foot! Stacy scoffed

Sophie felt something is not right, she thought as she cleaned up the last of the steps. She couldn't quite place it but the response Stacy gave about the kiss sounds too cunning and brief. The stacy she knew would have been so excited about it and even cheered her up.

"Maybe she's in a bad mood herself" Sophie said silently. And went into the kitchen to start preparing dinner for her brutal boss.
