PART3.
He was the only one that praised her beauty at the party.
Oge blushed when he said that.
She felt her heart racing.
Oge couldn't help the fact that she has fallen deeply for her boss.
She was so happy.
She thought of keeping it to herself,but she just couldn't.
She was thinking of a way to tell her boss about it.
But she feared that she might get into trouble or be embarrassed.
Before she could do anything,Oge heard two of the staffs talking about Joe.
They spoke about him being handsome and rich.
But what struck her the most is when they made mention of his wife.
Shocked,Oge couldn't believe that Joe was married.
She was shattered.
Looking at Joe,he doesn't behave like one.
Although he behaves like a matured and sensible man,but married?
Oge was hurt.
She saw her world crumbling down before her eyes.
Throughout the party,Oge was down.
That happy and exciting mood she was on earlier,was no more there.
Angel tried to find out what was bothering her,but she lied that it was nothing.
Towards the end of the party,Joe had asked Oge to help him carry some gifts,which the staffs gave to him,to his office.
He took some while she took some too and followed from behind.
When they got to the office,Joe dropped the gifts down. He also helped Oge to keep the gifts down.Allowing his hand to touch hers.
Oge shivered a little.
But she drew her hand away with a smile.
Just as she was about leaving the office,Joe asked her about her mood.
He also noticed the change in her mood.
So he was curious to know.
Oge lied that she was feeling weak and nothing else.
While talking,she accidentally knocked down some of the gifts that piled up.
She apologized and began to pick them up.
Joe chuckled and joined her.
Just then,Oge asked about Joe's wife.
On hearing this,Joe paused.
He had a strange expression on his face.
Oge looked at him.
It was as if he was shocked to know that she was aware of his marriage.
Joe smiled and said,"She's fine".
She also smiled and said Good to him.
Party was finally over.
Everyone headed back to their various homes.
They were given their salaries early.
The amount was great.
Oge laid on her bed at night.
She was lost in her thoughts
She was confused.
She didn't know what to do and how to forget about her feelings for her boss.
It was eating her up.
Just as she was thinking,her phone rang.
Joe was calling.
Oge was stunned.
This was the first time that her boss would call her.
They mostly chat on social media,but not call.
Oge decided to pick his call.
Joe said he wanted to check on her and know how she was doing.
Oge said she was fine.
She tried to end the conversation with Joe,but Joe won't allow it.
He began to speak to Oge.
They both ended up talking on the phone for more than an hour.
When Oge saw that the time has gone,she decided to stop the conversation.
Joe wished her good night,and she did the same.
Oge became quiet.
She waited for Joe to cut the call,but he didn't.
She then decided to cut it,when she heard Joe's voice.
"I feel like there's something you want to tell me about,but you are scared to",Joe said.
Oge felt her heart skip.
How did he know.
Joe persuaded her to speak up,and she did.
Oge ended up confessing her feelings for Joe.
She just said that she liked him alot ,that she had a crush on him.
Joe was silent.
He then sighed and replied Oge,"Okay,I get you.
You know you are a beautiful lady.
And I think you deserve the best.
You are a wonderful really.
So,I get your feelings dear.
You..you know what?"
"Yes sir?",oge replied.
"Since tomorrow,no work at the Daycare or the company,but only a few staffs would be present, we can talk more better tomorrow.
That would be fine",Joe said maturely.
Oge felt relieved.
She was pleased to know that Joe was nice and caring.
So she agreed to him.
Then they ended the call.
