Chapter 5 Rejected
- "Wha…"
- Before my girlfriend could finish.
- She rushed to me.
- "Daniel, where will I start? The new manager is my ex's friend ,how will I start looking for a new job".
- She was crying, hugging my waist,I turned to my furious girlfriend to calm her.
- "We will talk later"she snapped angrily and went back to her seat.
- "Emm look hey ,stop crying,it's not the end of the world,you are smart and the best designer I have seen,I will help talk to the guy, I promise I must convince him".
- Her face brightened.
- "Thank you ,thank you Dan," She dried her eyes.
- "Thanks Abigail bye" She waved at my girlfriend who seemed not interested,so she completely ignored her.
- After she left,Abigail walked up to me with her hands folded over her chest.
- "So what's the meaning of that, friends with benefits?"
- "You know me better and why you Ignore her,she's the last person to get into someone's relationship, so stop fighting her,we are good friends and that's it".
- "Bla Bla bla bla once upon a time!!!, fairy tales!!" She snapped and walked back to her seat.
- "Baby, Can you at least help me with the bathing"
- "Last time I checked you are old enough to impregnate a woman and become a father and bathe yourself!!"
- I shook my head,I went to her and carried her heading to the bathroom.
- “Put me down,or I will bite you".
- **AT THE COMPANY**
- "So you telling me what?"the new boss snapped at me.
- Seriously this dude got anger issues,or is he just naturally mean.
- I stared at him ,scared of my fellow man's visuals.
- "You will regret it if you don't get her back in your team sir".
- "You know who I am?"
- "Words 9th richest under 30 ,the owner of F&F fashion brand,the giant icons,you have branches all over the world, yes and I am a fan".
- "I am impressed,but you just described the little you know, next time you talk to me,keep it low ,just like you".
- I smiled, hiding my anger. I am this spoiled rat's elder yet he talks to me like a child,I don't blame him, he’s rich, it's one of their things.
- "Well I won't try to force it on you but I am sure you will regret it sir, please give her a chance".
- "You are the only one who said something nice about that lady out of the other co-workers".
- "Believe me they lied to you sir".
- "Her ex told me their story".
- "He probably made it up sir, also every story has two sides, you don't know her own story".
- "So tell me what it is that you want to gain from her by doing this, trying to convince me to get her back here"he said ,twitching a thick brow as he lay back on the office chair.
- "She's a good friend. I am just doing what I have to, not to mention she's a very hard-working person sir".
- He glanced at me for some time.
- "Fine I will give her a chance to prove her worth,you can go now".
- "Thanks boss".
- I went outside the office and called Valerie on the phone to inform her about it.
- She was so happy.
- "Are you kidding me now,I had the dream last night I was praying and waiting patiently,I know you will do it thanks Daniel,God bless you".
- "Amen,so prepare yourself too,this guy is not just a CEO,he is huge and if we eventually start working for him in due time we will be a big name and famous,you know what I mean ,the F&F brand is a worldwide iconic fashion brand".
- "I heard of it too,I can't believe we are working with F &F, I mean ,we are going to be working with F&F ,it's like a dream come true ,I will give it my best shot".
- "Take care, don't think too much".
- "I won't ,stop worrying! I am fine,say Hy to Abigail for me when you get home".
- "I will".
- "And hey, remember to take your drugs". "How did you know I'm sick?"I was shocked.
- "Malaria,I had the dream of you being sick and refusing to take your drugs".
- So accurately,I refused to take my drugs this morning.
- "I wish I was that gifted too".
- She chuckled.
- "Bye Dan,you are an irreplaceable friend".
- She hung up.I can't help smiling.
- "Well tomorrow we start work, goodluck to us". I said to myself.
- **VALERIE'S POV**
- The next day at work,I dressed my best. It's not a small opportunity to work with the F&F Famous and fantastic Fashion brand. My happiness was written all over me not until I sighted Kamsy.
- I greeted her first,she Ignored me,I regretted taking the first move immediately, but I was doing that to pretend I was hurting.
- I saw Daniel standing by the other side waiting for his turn for the interview too, I sneaked through to him.
- I hit his shoulder playfully ,he laughed.
- "You are as excited as I am right?"he asked. I nodded and took a deep breath, my heart was racing so much,I could feel the sweat.
