Going back to the tables where the others were seated. I found Sarah looking at me with eyes showing concern. I nod my head to assure her I was fine.
What took you so long ? Sofia asked , I am not feeling well today so I would be taking my leave first .
Guys see you later Sarah said while standing up ,lunch is not even over Sofia tried persuading.
Am really sorry about the inconvenience earlier , Ezekiel isn't always like that she tried explaining to me .
It alright , usually people ask lot of questions when they are in the midst of a new person , so it fine I replied.
Taking the elevator I got to my space , checking my wrist watch for time . Taking my seat on I recalled what Happ earlier in the eatery wondering why he asked me such questions still in my trance the office phone rang ,picking it up I answered the other person on the line .
Be up in two minutes time Olympia. Putting everything aside I went to his office knocking twice before I received a come in .

Looking the files still standing in his office.sir , I callled .what is it? he asked harshly, making me tremble in fear . Am confused about the files you gave me , After checking the background what should I do next I said.
This question of yours says a lot about your incompetency .imagine , a whole secretary like you asking countless questions on a simple task I gave to you .
Don't get on my nerves Olympia, he said while adjusting his ties , I'm warning you don't let me lose it otherwise….just get out of my sight and go do what I asked of you .
But …. Still sir , but what ? He shouted banging his hand on his desk . Now am really trembling In fear with beads of sweat forming on my forehead I made my way out of his office.
Gettting to my space I opened the files he gave to me ,going through the files I did a thorough background check , it was about a new client who has taken a keen interest in our company . Flora Gates a young entrepreneur and also the owner of the Lorenzo company being among the top 10 cosmetics company that is trending massively in the world ,topping number 7. She is also known for her charitable act and her thriving success in the business world .Going through the files bit by bit ,Also I Checked some vital information about the Lorenzo company,making sure I know the reasons , benefit, budget,proposal and also the conclusion.After two hours of going through the files I was done with the background check the CEO's asked of me .
Arranging it , I placed it on one of the shelves . Gathering the remain files on the table I arranged it properly making room for space .
The king's mansion ~
At The Dinning room :
I don't think he would be coming tonight Mrs king's said to no one in particular.
Did you not inform him about today ?Mr kings asked to be sure . I did , though it was via messages because he wasn't picking his call but am sure he would have seen the message.
You could try calling him again if you feel that disappointed about his absence Mr kings said while cutting the meat on his plate.
Father , mother rest assured am sure big brother is on his way here Lilian said .Hoof, a sound of a car is heard in the compound. Speak of the devil he is here Lilian said while Mrs kings looks outside of the window.
Young master welcome home the housekeeper said while collecting the car key from his hand , leading the way in .
Welcome home young master a maid came forward to greet him . They are in the dinning room the butler informed .
Making his way to the huge dining room he saw his father , mother and his younger sister already having their dinner.
Greetings pa and ma He greeted, welcome son He heard is mother happy voice . Welcome home brother, Lilian greeted with a bright smile on her flat face .
Take your seat son ,his mother offered.Lincoln, his mother called one of the maids in charge of the kitchen.bring the young master meal . Yes madam , making his way to the kitchen.
That wouldn't be necessary , I did not plan staying here for that long he said.why ? His mother asked sadly .I have things to take care of at work he said receiving a look from his father who kept eating continuously.
So .. I heard zendaya is going to be back in four days from now , what are the plans ? He asked .
Big brother , Lilian called him childishly. You know we are thinking of throwing a party for elder sis at the mansion.
That seems like a good idea he replied, have you sent out the invite ,he asked Lilian.
Yes I did, you should trust me on that she smiled wildly sure of her plan .
How has work been? his father finally asked , breaking the awkward silence between their father and son duo .
It's been tough lately he answered honestly . I see his father said while nodding his head silently.
I will be taking my leave he said standing up ready to take his leave .I love you big brother Lilian shouted . Love you too Lilly .Bye, he said to his mother who feels sad about his decision to go home early .
Leaving the dinning room he made his way to the car park after collecting the car key from the house keeper .
Driving through the silent compound memories from the past flash through his head ,is been 3 years since he last visited the mansion.
I don't know why he is always on about work he couldn't even spend more time with us,after all this years he finally came ,only to pay us a short visit Mrs kings murmured .
Somewhere In The Street: (club).
Hoo,hoo, a loud sound is heard in the room with different people swinging and dancing to the rhythm of the music being played . The room was dim with different colors of light displayed .
At one side is a man surrounded with ladies,the ladies were laughing to what he was saying their face brimming with joy as some of them get cuddled in his arms .
Are you sure about what you are saying?a lady cuddled in his arms asked to be sure of what he was saying .
You don't trust me he asked her , licking her earlobe which made her laugh widely . He placed his hands on her buttocks drawing her in for a deep kiss .
I love you the lady said cutting the kiss ,hmmm he replied.let's go dance everyone as he drags some of the ladies to the dance floor .
Hahaha ,The lady he was dancing with laugh loudly as he swings and spin her body on the dance floor making her feel dizzy while he embraced her .
