The storm in my life 15

The storm in my life
 

Chapter 15


Katherine’s POV
 

“Are you okay?” Noah asked me.

“Yeah, I’m fine”, I said pretending.

“You don’t look fine”, he said lifting his left brow at me.

“I am just overthinking things”.

“Is it about the job offer?” he asked me.

“Yeah, just nervous. It’s been long since I actually worked, as in a real work”.

“Don’t worry, you’ll be fine. It’s not going to be that difficult and the manager will assist you with the difficulties you have”.

“Mmm, okay. How often does your father come to the work place”?

“Not that often. Ever since he became the governor, he’s been so busy, so he’s left everything in my hands. Don’t worry, no one can fire you except me”, he said, winking.

“It’s not that, but…..mmm, thank you for the job. I’m so grateful”, I said, smiling.

“You’re welcome. You start work tomorrow. I’ll make your formal introduction to the company tomorrow”, he said.

“Tomorrow? Isn’t there supposed to be an interview or something”.

“What other interview? Just get me your cv tomorrow and other necessary documents and I’ll just keep it as proof”, he said, smiling.

“Thank you so much Noah”, I said, really smiling.

God, you’re finally showing me that you’re there. My only prayer is that I never come into contact with his dad.

“So what time do I show up for work?” I asked him.

“8:30am and you close at any time that suites you. You’re an assistant manager, there’s no effective time bound. We’ll just need you to be responsible, that’s all”, he said, shrugging.

“Are you serious? With this type of freedom you’re giving to your workers, you’ll surely bring this company down”, I said.

“Well, it’s just for the managers and head of sectors and when I see that they’re taking the freedom for granted, I fire them”.

“So, what exactly do you do at your workplace, seems to me like you’re always free”.

“I actually work from home most of the time. My personal assistant fills me in with important updates”.

“Oh, I see. But do you go to the office at all?”

“Yeah, I do, I went today to check on what’s going on and got back here”.

Okay, I see…..” I was about to ask another question and I got an incoming call.

I looked at the caller ID, it was my mum and I picked up.

“Hello, I said.

“Hello Katherine, how are you doing?”

“I’m great, I just left the hospital and I’m going to school. I resumed work today”, she said, and I could feel the happiness in her voice.

“And I just spoke to the doctor and he told me about a bill that has to be paid before they continue with your dad’s medical treatment”, she said.

“Yeah, I’ve already spoken to him. I’ll pay up by tomorrow”, I said, reassuring her.

“Okay, I hope it’s not going to affect you in anyway. I can add some money too”, she said.

“Mum, I said use your money and take care of the house and Lucy and I’ll take care of the bills”.

“Okay, God bless you so much Katherine”, she said.

“Amen mum”, I said and she hanged up.

I hanged up and I saw Noah writing something which looked like a cheque.

He tore a paper out and handed it over t me.

“What’s this?” I asked.

“It’s a cheque”, he said.

“I know, but for what?” I asked, really surprised.

“To take care of your dad’s medical bills”.

“I can’t take this. You don’t have to do that”.

“Well, you work for me now, so take it as in advancement or incentive”, he said, trying to come up with something else.

“Mmm, Noah. Do you give advancements and Incentives like that to your workers?”

“Mmm, maybe”, he said shrugging his shoulders.

“With his treatment, I think you’re going to bring the company down”, I said, giggling.

“I think the words you’re looking for is a thank you”, he said, grinning.

“Thank you so much, Noah, but I’ll definitely pay you back sometime”, I said, holding his hands unconsciously.

He held my hand too and I quickly pulled back my hand.

The place was silent for a while till he spoke up.

“So lunch?” he asked.

“Yeah”, I said.

So we ordered food and then it came within few minutes and we ate and talked. I got to know more about him.

He was the only child of his parents and he claimed that the rumours about he breaking the hearts of girls were false, but I still didn’t believe him. He said they were just in for the money and he ended up getting rid of them.

We kept on talking and then when it was late afternoon, I took my leave.

************************

The following morning, I woke up early and for the first time in a long while, I did my quiet time. I thanked God for this new job and asked for his forgiveness on my wrong doings and asked him for all my wants and needs.

After that, I took my bath, and wore a lemon green dress, and paired it with a nude heel and then I applied slight make-up and combed my hair and I was good to go.

I branched at the bank and paid off my dad’s medical bill and then I went to my new work place; Chappman Oil Company

I was really nervous when I got there.

The place was really big and I didn’t know where to go to, so I went to the security officers.

“Hello, I’m new here and I don’t know how to get to Mr Chappman’s office”.

“Hello, I suggest you see the receptionist. She’s just in front there”, he said pointing towards her direction.

“Okay, thank you”, I said, and I went to the front desk.

“Hello”. I said to her.

“Hello miss, you’re welcome to Chappman Oil Company, how may I be of service”, she said smiling.

“Hi, please how do I get to Mr Chappman’s office”, I asked and she looked at me like I was insane.

“Do you have an appointment to see him?” she asked.

“Yeah”.

 “Okay, I’ll check in with his personal assistant and get back to you, what’s your name miss?”

“Miss Kerry”, I said smiling.

“Okay”, she said and she took the desk phone and after a while and she hanged up and spoke to me.

“I’m sorry, but he there’s no appointment booked”, she said.

I was about to burst out and I felt someone hug me from behind.

*My Muse*♥️☺ *_Chapter 31_* *Oscar's POV* "Mabel why are you here at this time of the night?" I asked her in anger. When she lifted her head she was in tears. "Oscar it's difficult for me. I want you back and I'll do anything it takes to get you back😭😭", she said. "Stop it Mabel. You caused this in the first place". "I know and I'm really sorry. If I could go back in time, I would change what I did. But Oscar we've fought a lot of obstacles for three years, why do you want this to separate us?" "Stop it Mabel. There's no us. I've moved on now, you should move on too", I said. "How did you do it Oscar? I always thought that you'll always love me or you didn't even love me at all" "It doesn't matter if I did or not. Just nice on and stop terrorising my life?" "Me? Now I'm terrorising your life? Oscar after all I've done for you. Even when...

My Muse 40

*My Muse*♥️☺ *_Chapter 40_* *Natasha's POV* Today was supposed to be my happy day. But it turned out to be my worst nightmare. I was happy to be finally getting married to Oscar. As I walked down the aisle with my dad, tears of Joy were all over my cheeks. I couldn't believe it. Everyone stood up with a weird look on their face. What's going on? They were supposed to be smiling. My dad also noticed it. "Don't panic or mind the looks you're receiving", he said and I relaxed a bit. I looked at April, she's supposed to be cheering me up but she looked confused. As we got to the altar, I finally understood why they all had those looks on their faces. Oscar wasn't there. Where could he be? I said to myself panicking. "Where's Oscar?" June whispered in my ear. "I don't know"😰😰 I looked around and his family members were all there, but Oscar wasn't here!! I took my seat  and June starte...

*My Muse*♥️☺ *_Chapter 30_* *Natasha's POV* "Mabel?" I said, surprised. "You look so familiar", she said trying to recall who I was. "Yeah, I remember. You were the doctor who attended to me in the hospital sometime ago". "Yeah", I said, forcing a smile. "Oh come in", she said, stepping aside for me to come in. "You can have a seat", she said to me and I got annoyed. I'm not the visitor or stranger here. I don't know what she's doing here, but I'm not going to get paranoid. I have to put her in her place. I walked to the dinning and placed the basket which contained the food I prepared for Oscar, down. "Uh what are you doing here?" I asked her and she looked at me surprised. "Uhm, I don't think it's your business". "Well, if my boyfriend's ex fianceè shows up at his house, then it's my business", I said and she looked at me confus...
