Leave my office immediately! Adrian ordered
Stephanie pointing at the door.
But brother I... Interrupting her he said I am not your Brother! Because I tolerate your annoying presence in my house does not mean that I accept you as my sister.
Adrian stop saying hogwash Turing to where the voice came from, Stephanie saw her dad standing at the door. Also facing his dad standing at the door looking irritated
Adrian frowned and sat down on his chair before speaking dad don't you know how to knock?
Ignoring the question Albert smiled at his daughter then made himself comfortable on the couch in the office.
Clearing his throat he Began to speak I am here to speak to you both concerning an important matter, gauging their reaction he continued before I speak on the matter I want Stephanie to work in this company and I want her to work as your assistant.
Shocked by what she just heard she screamed WHAT! Don't be so shocked you will have to work with him.
She knelt down in front of her dad clasped her hands she pleaded with her dad to take back what he just said dad I can't work with brother Adrian he may pausing and turning her head to see Adrian's reaction, she saw that there was a smirk on his face what was this brother of hers planning to do to her if she worked with him she thought to herself.
She faced her dad thanked him and stood up seeing this both Adrian and his dad was shocked does this means that you have accepted to work with your brother? Albert asked yes dad I accept this job and I will do my best.
Hearing this Adrian froze. What! Just a moment ago he saw her pleading with his dad to change his decision of making her work with him and now just what is she trying to do? Waving her hand in front of Adrian eyes she asked brother are you okay?
Shaking his head he said is am fine, I am not giving you any job in this company. Adrian I am ordering you to give your sister that job and you are disobeying my order Albert spoke angrily as he stood up .
Dad I can't give her the job she doesn't fit the job requirements Adrian said. Adrian I am your father and the owner of this company you dare not disobey my order Albert yelled and stormed off.
Seeing her angry father leaving the office she felt the urge to deal with Adrian more now so she turned to him and asked shall I start tomorrow?
Going through some documents he ignored her. Seating down on the chair across him she spoke with authority telling him that she will resume next week. Shocked by her authoritative, domineering aura he saw her smiling that smile sent shivers down his spine . Being brave he asked her who gave her the right to order him she just smirked and left the office.
No No No No this was not going according to his plan why did she accept the job when he was so sure that she would plead with their dad to change his decision he thought while pulling his hair that low life bitch is truly impressive for making him frustrated after being a step to achieving his goal she comes in to push him fifty feet behind he has to do something to make her resign from the job willingly because he can't be the suspect of making Me Albert dearest daughter resign.
Entering the car her father gazed at her questionly settling on the seat she smiled at herself then turned to the person gazing at her she said hey stop staring at me like that. What happened in there Albert asked nothing much I just told him that I will resume next week so that I will be able to get more appropriate clothes for the job. and I also have to go through the formalities of getting a job you know that right? yeah I Know that why would you ask me that silly question? Looking at her nails smiling she answered i don't know can we go home I am hungry. Mr Albert gestured the chaffeur to drive them home.
Stephanie has always been a happy pretty girl when he met her at the store, she reminded him a lot of his wife.
In a library stared at Stephanie and noticed that she looked a lot like his wife he suddenly asked her do you look like any of your parents? Reframing his question he asked who are your parents? Yes Albert is not Stephanie parent she is just a girl who is being paid to act as his daughter in order to find out what Adrian plans was. She answered my mother's name is Mrs Elizabeth Jackson. Lost in his thoughts Elizabeth Jackson that name sounded familiar but he couldn't place his hand on where he has heard or know someone who bears that name feeling Stephanie shaking him brought him back to reality. Then she asked him why do you always aspace out like that? She has seen him space out like that a lot of times.
At the office
Alice you will get the application today, invite her for the interview tommorow I will interview her myself disconnecting the call he loosened his neck tie reminiscing about what happened in his office a few hours ago. The look on her face,that scary smile,the intimidating aura and most importantly the threat.
How can she find out about it he asked himself pulling his hair he sighed in frustration. I need to take her out of my way before she causes harm or Maybe destroys my plans I can't let that happen I can't let it happen he said still pulling his hair. I also can't harm her it will make that old man suspicious of me I have to come up with a way to take her out of my plans.
Hearing a knock he adjusted his clothes and told the person to enter the office, confused to see her boss alone going through some documents when she heard him speaking with someone just now . Maybe he was speaking on the phone she thought .
Good day Sir Alice greeted respectfully
Lifting up his head he saw Alice Standing in front of his table with a few documents.
Alice have been working as his secretary for four years now she also did the job of an assistant sometimes.
Sir this is the Application letter and Resume of miss Stephanie, I have also invited her for the interview.
When did you schedule the interview? Adrian asked
I scheduled it for tomorrow sir Alice answered
Alright drop those files on the table.
Alice dropped the files but was not leaving .
Do want to say anything else Adrian asked as he noticed that Alice was not leaving.
Stuttering Alice answered S...sir I want to submit my resignation letter.
Was he hearing her right? She wanted to resign there was something wrong about her suddenly resigning from her job in the best company in this country, where almost everyone sought after, he wanted to know the reason.
He asked her why and she replied with the lamest excuse even, after practicing her excuse a lot of times before now but those practices didn't help now as she was sweating thinking of what they would do if she said the truth but why can't she come up with a reasonable answer. Other than taking care of her parents.
He nodded and asked her to leave the office that he would sign the resignation letter tommorow.
Before leaving she reminded him of his meeting with Mr Anthony Louis in an hour.
Of course he forgot about his meeting with that old man.
Still at the library
Sitting on his chair with the young woman staring at a frame on the wall.
Clearing his throat miss Stephanie please tell me what you told Adrian that made him accept to give you the job? I want you to finish a task for me as soon as he reject giving you a job,Why did you accept the job when it was not in the plan to accept the job offer.
Turning her gaze to the man sitting in front of her, he was about the same age as her father.
She answered hey old man a question at a time, but, I will answer all your questions.
Mr Albert I didn't tell him anything Stephanie denied.
Alright I won't force you to tell me why you accepted to work with Adrian?.
Mr Albert that brings me to my reason of accepting your offer. I have two reasons of accepting to work with you and your son.
Firstly, is to get more money from both of you at the same time.
Secondly, is to keep a watch on your son.
I guess I have to increase your pay again Said Albert
Of course you have to Mr Albert Stephanie replied and gave him her sweetest smile.
That smile looks exactly like that of his wife he thought to himself, how he missed her continuous talking and nagging, he remembers how he almost missed a chance with her due to his shyness while on the other hand she was a very outgoing and a talkative person.
I will take my leave now Stephanie said leaving the library.
Before leaving she turned and warned him to be careful.
Of course he understood what she meant.
