A pity that kid wouldn’t let her in. She didn’t sound like a 3 years old at all. Sigh! “Ugly duckling,” “I forgot that you’re the queen” Evelyn rebutted with a smile. “You… stop calling me that. I’m not ugly. I’m very handsome” Lisa said but as soon as she realized what she said she covered her mouth in shock. Evelyn burst out in mirth. “Handsome? Yes my dear Lisa, you are handsome. I wanna marry you. Marry me, please!” Evelyn mocked adding salt to Lisa’s wounds. “Shut up!” Lisa yelled. “Why?” Evelyn asked with a smirk on her lips. “Hey!” “What’s ‘hey!’? You know I really wonder. Are you really a three-year-old? I’ve been wanting to ask you that question,” said Evelyn seriously. “You… AHHHH,” “Why are you yelling?” Evelyn asked lazily. “Forget it! I admit defeat” said Lisa as she sat back in her chair and rested on Vanessa’s right hand. She would deal with Evelyn later. For now, let her bond with mummy Vanessa. “Mama loves me” she muttered before closing her eyes. She ended up falling asleep soon. ************Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
GVS enterprises. This well-known company occupies seven floors in the building and is the largest business enterprise in M city. Its employees are divided into two; the inner employees and the outer employees. The outer employees’ offices occupy three entire floors and the remaining 4 are reserved for the inner employees. There’s always plenty of room for promotion, so long as you’ve got the talent, the skill, dedication, commitment, requirements and the approval of the Deputy Manager. GVS enterprises have branches in 50 countries in 6 continents and it’s all being controlled by a single man-the heartthrob of many ladies of marriageable age, Nelson Woodley, a man known to be strict and cold. He is said to have a frozen heart but the best brain in business. No one has ever seen him smile or wear anything other than black suits. If one could go to his house, they’d see that everything in his room is either black or white. Some also call him the lion boss because of his easily firing an employee when they make mistakes. For example, gossiping is forbidden in the company, eating is also forbidden in the company as the company gives workers 2 whole hours to buy food for lunch outside the building and so many restaurants are around the area. If he catches anyone disobeying any of these rules, then he/she is fired. Those who work under him do so with fear. At this time, a black Maybach Exelero latest brand rolled over to the entrance of the company. 20 workers of the company, 10 men and ten women were already waiting for him dressed in black suits. The driver of the car got out and walked around to the back passengers’ door and opened it. A man stepped out dressed in black suit that was worth 2 million dollars. The silver wristwatch on his hand cost half a million, and that was his favorite watch. The leather shoes he wore cost a quarter of a million and the glasses he wore cost 30 thousand dollars. Yeah! Everything about him from head to toe smelt and proclaimed he bathed in money. This man is the famous Nelson Woodley the CEO of GVS enterprises. Nelson Woodley is tall, very handsome with hazel brown phoenix eyes, chestnut lips, chiseled jawline, flawless skin, and a figure that made even males want to become gay. The man took off his sunglasses, scanned the area and smiled at one of the female employees who was to welcome him like her fellows. She’s dressed in a blue see-through and extremely tight gown. Though it may not be too evident once water touches it, it will be plain for all to see. The magenta camisole she wore inside was lowered more than usual so one could see her cleavage and this lady happens to have big breasts and a delicate shape. She wasn’t too pretty but with her assets; she was confident of getting a man easily. She was employed two weeks ago and despite knowing the rules, she still disobeyed for today. She would do anything to become his woman even for a night. Nelson walked slowly to her and placed a hand on her shoulder. “See me at my office later. You look really beautiful today. Muah!” Nelson blew her a kiss and wore back his sunglasses. He gave a thumbs up to the employees looking at him waiting for his command. “Let’s go,” he said with a small yet audible voice. “Yes, sir” they chorused and followed him. His secretary, Mr. Peter Jones a head shorter than Nelson and average faced, briefed him about his schedule for the morning as they walked towards the elevator. Apart from the secretary talking, no one was talking. Some who wanted to communicate were using sign language and Nelson nodded. Yeah, I forgot to mention that sign language was a necessity if one wanted to get a job here. It must be perfect or you have no chance of getting a job. There are exceptions for those who show investors and customers around and the security guards. The staff gets 2 hours to talk however they want when they go out on break outside. And they get paid triple salary compared to other companies, so it was worth fighting for. “Not bad” Nelson muttered. He and the secretary then took the elevator which took them to the highest floor of the company which is the seventh floor. The elevator’s door opened after some few minutes and Nelson Woodley came out of the elevator first with the secretary following behind. “Tell me when will Mr. Hackers come to visit me?” Nelson asked as he walked toward his office. “10:00 am” replied the secretary as he adjusted his glasses. “Cancel the visit, i have to play tennis with my employee at that time, ” Nelson said. “Yes, I’ll cancel it right now,” said the secretary. “Tomorrow take a day off,” said Nelson as he opened the door to his office. “Yes sir and thank you, sir,” said the secretary. “You really wished for me to say such sugary words? I don’t wanna have diabetes so though you’ll take a day off you’ll report to me by 3:00 pm tomorrow and play games with me till 8:00 pm. Am i clear?” “Yes, Yes sir” the secretary nodded.
