"A young man gave me this to give to you"Lisa, Vivien's friend said,as she gave her a golden necklace.
"Who exactly, if I may ask?"
"It's Mr.Kess,the best friend of my boss Stanley Ray. He came to my office just few minutes after you left, and told me how much he loves you"
"So?"
"Common Lisa. Don't you like him?. He's every woman's dream. He is a businessman,who owns a vast financial empire. In Fact for any business guru to be able to meet up with such kind of prowess and influence that he has,such a person must pay homage to him, and seek his backup" Lina informed.
"I don't like him, and I'm not interested,"Vivien spat out,as she ironed her clothes,getting ready to start work the next day.
The company sent her a text message a few hours after she left,about them employing her.
"I don't think you know what you're doing to yourself dear. You're seriously missing an opportunity to become a billionaire,and the wife a billionaire. Is that not what you have ever wished for yourself?" Said Lina.
"That has been my wish,but not in this manner. However,I know what I want, and as an infant,it's my decision"She said.
"And what about the golden necklace he sent me?"
"Give it back to him. Tell him I rejected it, and I'm not interested".
Luna's eyes grew wide open. She never experienced something like this from Vivien. It really pained her,seeing her best friend losing such a big opportunity of becoming rich overnight. She then wished that the opportunity was for her but then,Kess had made his choice, and she wouldn't like to meddle in their affairs.
She knows Kess very well. She knows that Kess won't take Viviens rejection for an answer,that's why she wouldn't try to do anything funny,to approach him, but would just watch all that would soon be happening. She knew that it wouldn't be tough either for any of them,since Kess was at the proposing side,while Vivien was on the opposing side.
The next day,Vivien started work with the company,and was immediately made the P.A. to Stanley,the company's president.
Vivien knew that it was already a planned scheme by Stanley and Mess because she had been informed that Kess would do everything possible he could,just to have her.
She just Accepted her role, and made sure she served well.
Hours later when work was over,Kess came to her again as she was about to leave the office.
He was with flowers in his hands,lots of gift items that were packaged in a small little bag.
"Hi, pretty. I believe you're feeling cool with your new job?" He asked.
"Yes sir,I am" She responded.
"And I'm about to go home right now"She was still informed.
"I know dear, and that's why I came by this time,"He said.
"Oh! Okay"
She said, She didn't want to see him again,because she believed he was too rude the first time they met. She even sees him to be a very mannered young man,who thought he could get anything he wanted just because he has all the money in the world.
"Please my dear,I'm very sorry for what transpired between us yesterday. I know I didn't convey my words the way it's supposed to be. Kindly find a place in your heart,to forgive me" Kess said,on a broken heart.
"It's alright sir" She smiled.
She then took her bag and a few materials about to go out, when Kess drew before her,and kissed her forehead.
"How dare you!. Is this how you behave? Kissing everyone you see,on their forehead?" She spoke in an explosion.
Again,she was irritated by his actions.
"Oh no miss, that's not just my attitude. I couldn't help it any more so,I think the best ways to kiss your sweet looking fore-head"He said.
A heavy slap was then launched on his face,by Vivien who expected a bit of remorse from him.
"Please,get out of my office!"She shouted.
"Not until you receive these gifts from me,and follow me for dinner right now,"Kess said.
"Are you mad?. Damn! Are you for real?. What's wrong with you?"She blasted.
"What's happening here?" A voice from their back asked.
Feeling shocked,they turned back, and saw that it was Stanley,who had been patiently looking and listening to them.
"Oh dude! It's you?"Kess asked.
"Yes buddy,it's me. I see that you are seriously trying hard to make it up to her?"Stanley asked.
"Yes,as you can see,"Kess responded.
"Please,ride on buddy. It's very necessary"Stanley said,and hurriedly walked out from Vivien's office.
Vivien on the contrary,was greatly surprised seeing her big boss who also,is a billionaire,not saying much about the recent acts he sees her engaging in on Kess ' face.
It's now she believes that the both of them are great friends and this friendship of theirs,may never be separated.
"Damn, they are birds of the same feathers"She whispered.
"Yes dear,we are birds of the same feathers. Thank God,you know. So,what else did you want to do?. Do you wish to report me to the London police,or the military,that I kissed you?" He asked her,as he sat on a chair,and raised his legs up on her desk.
She then walked out of her office,holding the door and looking at him.
She wanted him to come out so she could leave,but he didn't.
"Pick no offense with me,sweet heart.What ever strange thing I did or would be doing against you,kindly know that I did them because of love".
"Can you come out for me to close my office?"She asked, still provoked.
"Close which office?. The one you built or the one my
friend built. Which one exactly?"He asked, teasing.
"You're a bastard" She rained insults.
