A month after Charlotte's father's surgery, her life was a little stable and she felt relieved as the money she made from her last night at the club and her savings covered all her father's medical expenses.
Her father was still at the hospital recovering but the thought of him being well again brought happiness to her.
Now employed at George Holdings for a month, Charlotte has made a few friends who have been supportive of her. Although it was a cleaning role, she was happy with it because she had her dignity intact, and she was grateful to have escaped the degrading experience of her last job.
She was now on a new journey to start afresh, her focus had now shifted as her father's health had been sorted out, and she was now saving up to clear up their debts.
One day, Charlotte was at the George's Wing cleaning in the early hours of the morning before the start of work for the day.
She was lost in thought thinking about that night, reminiscing her loud moans because of the pleasure she was getting, she felt a tingle in her nipples just thinking about how hard she was fucked by Lucas that night.
She tried to shake off the thought but it wasn't yielding to her, it was as if her body was craving for him.
Suddenly her friend, Leah called out for her from behind distracting her thoughts and she jolted back to reality.
Charlotte turned around to go meet her because she needed help with her cleaning tool.
"Oh my! That's our boss, I mean the CEO, he's back", Leah said pointing her finger forward.
"Our boss?!" Charlotte exclaimed as she hurriedly turned around to see who he was, but she only got the back view of him as he was covered with his numerous bodyguards escorting him to his office.
Tension filled the air as employees present at the entrance gathered in line to welcome him. Charlotte had heard that the boss traveled a few days after she resumed, for a business meeting and he only just got back now.
He was tall, bodily built with dark, well-styled hair and he was adorned in a well-tailored suit, Charlotte's mind flashed back to Lucas, as her figure looked exactly like him.
"He's so handsome, I wish he was my man", Leah replied interrupting Charlotte's thoughts.
Charlotte burst into laughter, "Come off it, go do your job and stop fantasizing".
"I heard everybody is scared of him, that he's cold to everyone, I even heard he fired a cleaner because he missed a spot while cleaning his office", Leah retorted.
"Really?!", Charlotte exclaimed with her eyes widened out, "Where do you even get your pieces of information from?" Charlotte asked her in curiosity.
"You know, I'm now popular, so I'm friends with everybody and I get the latest and old gossip", Leah said laughing as they both continued with their cleaning.
A few days later, Charlotte was at the lobby entrance cleaning, when she felt dizzy, she tried to get a hold of herself but she tripped and fell.
She tried getting up but couldn't when she found out that she had sprained her ankle, then she sat back down on the floor while holding her ankle. After some minutes, she raised her head and saw a group of bodyguards in suits lurking around, and employees gathered around anxiously.
She knew the boss had arrived at the office building, she tried her best again to stand up on her feet to greet him before he came in but as soon as he entered, Charlotte fell back down, as she had put too much pressure on the ankle and it began to hurt bad and groan silently in pain looking at her ankle.
Her boss witnessed how the cleaner fell immediately after he entered, and he immediately got irritated. One thing about him that everyone is aware of is that he hates incompetent people.
"Go..good morning s..ir", Charlotte greeted him anxiously, avoiding his face.
But the boss ignored her greetings, "Where do they even employ these low-lived and clumsy people from?", The boss said out loud as he walked passed her.
Charlotte felt a surge of emotions running through her veins as she clenched her hands in a tight fist frustrated at how embarrassed she was because she had made a bad impression. She was later helped by a few of the staff to the company clinic to get treated.
Two days later at the office, Charlotte and a few cleaners already started cleaning in the early hours of the morning. Then boss's bodyguards assembled paving the way for the boss.
Sudden tension hung in the air as the presence loomed in the office building. Everybody became suddenly alert and adjusted their composure, but their nervous glance at each other gave their nervousness away as they stood in line to greet the boss.
Charlotte was on the phone with her aunt which she ended quickly when she noticed the tension in the air and joined them on the line.
Immediately, she started experiencing excruciating pains in her tummy as she perceived a strong fragrance in the atmosphere and she became dizzy again, the stomach upset became unbearable.
She faced down as her hands held her tummy tightly, trying to hold the pain in till when her boss passed.
"C'mon Charlotte", she repeated under her breath as her boss walked passed her, then suddenly he halted as he heard a familiar voice.
"What did you say?", The boss asked taking a few steps back and standing directly in front of her.
Charlotte avoided his face as the fragrance that was upsetting her stomach was his cologne and it became stronger.
"No...nothing sir—"
She couldn't hold her breath any long as she felt nauseous and threw up on him.
With the shock on everyone's face, as the vomit dripped from the boss's well-tailored suit, Charlotte could literarily hear her colleagues' audible gasp in her ears. Her boss was still in shock as he realized what the cleaner had done to his suit.
Charlotte panicked as the tension in the air intensified by the minute, a cool breeze met her skin which sent goosebumps down her body, and realising what she had done fell to her knees in fear.
"I'm... I'm sorry sir, please forgive me, I'm sorry", she said getting on her knees, holding onto his shoes with her trembling hands, Charlotte didn't want to lose her job.
"You clumsy and worthless bitch!", Her boss thundered in rage.
He bent down and gripped her tightly by her neck as he met her with a piercing gaze.
"I'm going to teach you a lesson!", Her boss yelled at her.
Tears welled up in her enclosed eyes as she struggled for breath, everybody stood there surprised at what her fate would be, no one could dare stop the boss when he was angry.
And for a fleeting moment, Charlotte opened her eyes, and the tears rolled down her cheeks as faint words of her pleading escaped through her lips.
She was met with a piercing gaze, and a sudden wave of realization hit her as she could recognize before her the face of the man she had shared a passionate night with.
The daunting realization of her boss' identity sent a shiver down her spine all his threats melted into distant echoes, and the screams from the workers were reduced to background noise.
Charlotte's mind wandered far, detached from the present moment and situation as her boss's identity unraveled before her most unexpectedly.
