On Saturday morning, Kingsley woke up feeling much better and refreshed. All of a sudden he looked at the side of his bed and grabbed his phone.
Meanwhile, Bianca was still in bed sleeping like a baby when her phone buzzed and jolted her up.
She looked at the screen and saw that it was Kingsley.
📞 "Hello sir" She tried to clear her throat.
📞 Good morning, Bianca.
📞 Good morning sir. How are you feeling today? She asked.
📞 Well, I'm up and great. Thanks to you" he said without any expression on his face.
📞 "I'm glad I could help" she replied calmly.
📞 Yea, you did. Anyways, I only called to say thank you" he said politely and this is something she hasn't gotten used to, Kingsley sounding polite? Unbelievable.
📞" You don't have to keep thanking me this way. It's fine," she said.
📞 "Alright then. Do enjoy the rest of your weekend" He said.
📞 "You too, sir," she said and the line went off.
She drooped her phone and dragged herself out of the bed.

On Monday morning, by the time the girls arrived at the office, Kingsley was already at the office sipping from his cup of coffee.
By the time Mandy went to say Good morning to him, she met him sipping his coffee and for as long as she can remember, his boss has never brewed coffee himself.
"Good morning, sir" she greeted.
Morning Mandy.
How are you feeling now, sir? She asked.
"I'm very well, thank you," He said with a straight face.
"Alright but sir," she said pointing at his cup of coffee.
Yeah, I'm not allowed to brew myself a cup of coffee or what? He asked coldly.
"No sir" She quickly composed herself.
"Go check your mail, just sent you some files that need a review from Dickson. Check if he's at the office already and if he isn't, make sure to leave it with Crystal" He instructed.
"Alright, sir," She said and left.
In no time, Bianca Also came over to his office, to say hi.
Good morning sir.
Good morning, Bianca. How are you?
I'm fine, thank you.
How are you feeling today? She asked.
"Strong and in perfect shape," He said
Okay, that's good to hear.
Alright. So what's my schedule for today? He asked.
"Here is it" you'll be having the stand-up meeting by 10-11 am. By noon you'll be meeting the qualified candidates for an interview that was rescheduled from Friday.
Okay. Is that all?
Yes for today but there is something I would want you to look at.
"Alright, bring it on," he said sitting properly in his chair.
"It's about the new legal authorization for the project of the perfume factory the company is working on," She said moving closer to him.
The contract document was altered by the accounting department and I was able to rectify that on Friday. All that is left right now is for you to go through the new agreement document before we can issue it to them before the construction of the warehouse can commence" she said and all this while, Kingsley was a bit lost because he could practically inhale all the strawberry scent and heat emanating from her.
"Alright. I'll have a look at it and let you know when to pick it up" He said
Alright, sir an...(Door opens)
"Hey, big brother" Dickson barged in on them at a very close proximity.
"I'll call you when I need you," Kingsley said by dismissing Bianca.
"Good morning, Mr. Dickson" She greeted calmly.
Good morning, Bianca. How are you?
"I'm fine, thank you," She said and left the office.
"Look who is getting all cozy with his Assistant"Dickson gave Kingsley a naughty look.
"Good morning, Dickson," Kingsley said with a deadly stare.
Good morning brother. I've missed you.
Kingsley only looked at him without a word.
How are you feeling now? He asked.
"I'm okay" He replied.
All thanks to Bianca actually" He added.
Uhmmm, I know right.
So tell me, what happened that night? Was there a hot bang or fuck between you too? He winked but Kingsley only rubbed his forehead in frustration.
"Cmon you can talk to me. I know you like her else you wouldn't have been protecting and defending her at every slight opportunity you get. So don't you even dare lie to me" Dickson said.
"I want you to look at the DGF document that is placed rightly at your table at the moment and revert to me before the end of today" He ignored the trash Dickson has spewed.
Brother I...
"Also, you have a briefing from 2 pm-3 pm today about your trip. Come with a detailed report. Thank you, You can leave now" he said with a straight face.
"Kings, you're no fun" He hissed and left.
Meanwhile, Alicia is back in town briefly to have a private discussion with some of the board members she was able to brainwash to join her rebellion against her sons.
This has been going on secretly for a while now without the knowledge of the sons and at this point, she's aware the company is making plans to commence construction at the other building and she's really up to no good this time again.
