CHAPTER 9: FIRST DAY IN OFFICE
“How dare you stop me? She’s my ex wife!” Alex became angry.
“That’s none of our business Mr. Solace. We’re doing our work!”
When he turned back, Gianna had already left and was drinking with her father.
“Fuck!” Alex cursed.
“Alex!” Victoria came over and put her hands on his shoulder. He directly slapped her hand away and angrily stormed out of the building. Victoria was shocked but had no choice other than to run after him.
That night, he refused to talk to anyone and locked himself in his bedroom.
...Morning...
Gianna stretched in bed and jumped up. Today, Elliot was going back the King Eagles Film, Xavier was resuming office and she had to start her first day as a CEO.
After a warm shower, she walked out looking like a goddess.
“Ma’am, we’re here to drive you to work.” The guards bowed in respect.
Gianna nodded and entered the car Elliot bought for her. Everyone had already left but didn’t wake her up. They needed their princess to be comfortable.
The drive to the company was smooth. She entered the elevator and waited. Her office was at the top floor of the building. After settling down, Sandra, the Secretary came over and gave her all the reports of the day. Then Gianna started her work.
She even forgot to eat. After seeing the new CEO wasn’t getting out, Sandra went into her office and helped her make tea. This was a big office with everything she needed to not make her day boring. It even had a private bathroom wardrobe and a private bedroom in case she would be too tired to go home or would need a rest during the day. The coach in here were completely comfortable.
Gianna sipped the tea slowly as she scrolled through the computer. Suddenly, a text came in from Elliot.
“How is your first day in office? Comfortable?”
Gianna: Mmh... More than comfortable. I feel like am in heaven. I’ve never enjoyed my life this much.
Elliot: great to hear that. Any changes you would want to be done in the office?
Gianna: I like everything here. Next time, I would like to come with Zoe.
Elliot: sure... I also will like you to visit the film one day.
Gianna: yeah... When am free.
Gianna didn’t eat anything solid through out the day and even skipped her lunch. By evening, she started feeling uncomfortable. She send Xavier a message.
Xavier was conducting a staff meeting when a message popped on his phone. His eyes almost popped up when he saw it. Immediately, he called Elliot.
“Are you filming today?”
“No... Arranging some programmes. What’s up?” Elliot asked.
“You need to get Gg from the Jewellery company. She’s feeling uncomfortable.” Xavier said.
“Fuck!” Elliot cursed. “it will take three hours drive over. Unless I take a plane. Tell the guards to get her to hospital. Then send Zoe along. I’ll be there. Let me finish somethings.”
Immediately the guards received the order, the head guard went into her office and told her.
“Huh! I was just fine. I think it’s just that I haven’t eaten anything!” Gianna was shocked.
“Ma’am, Boss will kill us alive if we don’t take you for medical check up!” The guard said almost begging.
Gianna stood up and followed him out after which she was taken to hospital. Zoe came over and after check up, she was reminded to take her meals. Elliot arrived after a helicopter landed on the roof of the hospital. When he heard the report, he looked at Gianna concerned.
“you forget to eat? Fine, I have a plan for you. Guards, I need this alarm!” Elliot pointed online an made the order. After it was delivered, he personally installed it in her office. It would remind her every time she needed to take water, and eat her meals at regular intervals.
“Elliot, I just skipped a meal. What’s there to be serious about?” Gianna asked.
“This is your health princess. If Xavier wasn’t held up, he would be here. We failed to take care of you three years ago, we must make sure you’re ok now. Zoe, take Gianna for a rest. You’ll resume office tomorrow!” Elliot said. “I'll be going back. GG, please be safe for me, for Xavier, for daddy, for Zoe and for everyone else, please sister!”
“I promise Elliot!” Gianna hugged him. Elliot patted her lightly and left. Gianna watched the helicopter disappear.
“Let’s go before Xavier bites my head off!” Zoe urged her to come. Gianna followed.
Moments after they left, the Solace cars arrived. Alex got out and walked to the office. He came to personally say sorry to Gianna because his lonely life was boring and he missed her presence.
“Sir, we’re sorry madam just left. Try another day!” the guards bowed respectfully.
Alexander cursed inwardly as he turned to leave.
...Night...
Mira had been sleeping the whole day. She stretched and felt her face with her hands.
“How do you feel?” Katherine asked giving her daughter a cup of warm sweetened water.
“Better. Where is Alex?” Mira asked looking around.
“Something came over Alex. He suddenly changed. When they got back yesterday, Victoria cried to sleep in the guest room and could not even talk. Alex didn’t say anything. We woke up and Victoria was already gone. He didn’t even seem to care at all.” Katherine explained.
Just then, Alex walked in. He looked at the two and proceeded to go upstairs but his mother stopped him asking what was wrong. “Please, watch the news.” He shrug and went upstairs.
