“Good morning ma, good morning Quinn” I heard some staffs greeting but I just walked into my office and left Quinn greeting and and answering almost the whole company “Get Alex please” I told my secretary as I sat on my seat Soon there was a knock on the door Okay, Quinn is around and I can’t let her know I’m liking Alex cos it’s really gonna be awkward so I kept a mean face “Good morning ma” “Sort them” I said dropping some bunks of files on the table “Okay ma” he said softly and started sorting them, he’s really charming, I couldn’t hide it, I admire everything about him... “Nan?!” “yes? When will you ever call my name without screaming it?” “Well I did for the first two times I called you but it seems you were lost in thought” Oh my God Quinn already saw me looking at Alex “Uhm.. really?... I wasn’t lost in thought...I was just...” I tried to defend myself stuttering “I see” “When did you get in?” I asked “Oh you should know cos you wasn’t lost in thoughts” “Alex leave us please” I ordered “Okay ma” he said and walked out “Hold on, do you like him?” “What!! Cut that scrap,like who? I don’t, I can’t, how on earth can I even be attracted to my worker” “I see a different you now” “Please stop this I have a lot on my desk” “You’re really not telling the truth right now, cos I can’t remember you staring at a man the way you did some minutes ago” “I wasn’t staring at anyone Quinn” “Okay what about we do something” Okay whatever it is I sure know it’s going to be crazy “What?” “If you really insist you don’t like that guy sack him” “What?! I mean why? Why should I do that, he didn’t even do anything wrong to me” “Uhhuh you like him!” “I don’t” “Then do it!” “I can’t just sack him, I mean he did nothing” “Nan you and I know how you are and how you have been, you sack your workers at a slight mistake, you don’t see it as anything”Quinn said “Well, thank God you said at a slight mistake which Alex haven’t made yet...so... I’m not sacking him”I said trying to make a sense “You care about him” “Quinn pleaaaase I really have a lot to do you can see my table all piled up” I said pointing at the files on the table “Well I’m not going now till lunch”Quinn said reluctantly “So what are you gonna do until lunch?” I asked “Just sit here and look at you stare at that cute guy again”she said with a mock tone I picked up the telephone with an angry face “Wait, what are you doing”she asked in laughter “You wanna see?” “Fineee stare at him alone” she said picking her bag to leave “I hate you!” “I love you more sis”she replied shutting the door “Oh my goodness “ I said in relief “Do I really care about Alex??” “Am I really attracted to him??” “Is it because of his looks??” “Do I really want him??”I asked myself almost at once I can remember my dads face, he was tall,light skinned,with a black hair,my dad was the definition of a good looking man, but how did my mom ended up with him? He left his own family He left us in the street to feed in and sleep in with all his good looks Where was his good looks when my mom died in the street and then followed by his own daughter, where’s was his dark shiny hair when I slept alone in the street till Quinn and I finally got together and started living in a one room apartment Where was those his charming smiles when Quinn had to work so hard to see me through school just to secure a better life for the both of us, or his nice sets of teeth was there when I graduated from college?”I asked myself in tears “I need no man...I can’t let any man mess with my life I can’t let any man win my heart and abandon me in the street like my mom, if my mom had had a better life she wouldn’t have been dead by now...she would have been here with me and my sister”I said and screamed in pains My door got opened and Alex came in in panic “Are you alr...” “Get out!!!!” I yelled and he left immediately After some minutes I became calm and started thinking again Over the years I’ve never fallen in love with any man now I feel something for Alex, why don’t I deal with him serving him as a point of contact to his gender...I hate him because I fell for him,I wasn’t supposed to love or care about any man,but Alex came in trying to mess up everything for me, but I won’t let him rather I’ll torture him”I thought to myself and went back to work I didn’t see Alex for the rest of the day I got home and sank on my couch and woke up the next morning I was so tired, I can’t go to work but I’ll just have to do something at home I grabbed my laptop stared at it for a moment and something crossed my mind “What if I start working from home with Alex, this would give me a better opportunity to deal with him” I said I picked up my phone and called Doris to tell Alex I’ll be needing His services at home for sometime Soon Alex arrived my place “Good morning ma”Alex greeted I didn’t look at his face “Where is the file I asked you to get for me?” “File? I’m sorry ma but Doris didn’t talk about any file, she just said you wanted me to...” “Shut up and just go get it then”

I really know it was a long day at work but I don’t want to make it feel like I was stressed I can’t imagine myself saying it was a long day at work I’ve always been the hardworking lady I always dreamt of I am the woman I’ve always wanted to be I have everything I always wanted I’ll always say this in my head anytime I feel stressed In other words I don’t feel stressed My name is Nancy Nelson, I am thirty years old Yeah the successful single young lady I most times hear my workers gossiping my single life But I don’t blame them I mean I have everything and they think I need a man to complete my life? I see women on social media getting married, some getting engaged and some others flaunting their relationship lives on social media Damnnn it sucks so much Why do women feel like they need a man in their lives not to talk of tying knots with them I am a career woman I don’t have an extra time for either relationship or fun My career is everything to me During weekends I work at home When I get bored I walk around my mansion Admiring everything I have This is the only time I smile I feel fulfilled but at the same time I still want more so I always work. “It’s a Monday morning, another day to achieve more goals... I interrupted my alarm as I turned it off and got off the bed Went straight to the bathroom, got a toothpaste on my brush and brushed my teeth Fifteen minutes later I was done bathing and I walked to my wardrobe to pick a dress for the day I picked a black dress which length is just some inches above my knees with a golden button which runs from the v-neck to the end of the gown I gave it a keen stare and finally got it on and then stared at my standing mirror and admired myself a bit, I felt I looked great, then I went to the table glass to put on my makeup, after some few minutes I was done and I looked so gorgeous I thought to myself I went to my shoe rack and picked a black high heels and then a gold and black touched hand bag, I stood at the front of the boldly standing mirror and said to myself “ain’t bad when it comes to looking stunning at all” smiled and picked my phone and left After thirty minutes or less i got to my office and my secretary handed me a cup of coffee and opened a file where all my schedules for the day are arranged “Ma, you have a meeting with Mr Williams from the BACO PRINTING COMPANY And..... “You can keep the file I’ll read it later” I interrupted “Ma”? “You heard me” I almost shouted I would have shouted but I know how weird it is for me to go through that myself but I just wanted to be left alone at that moment I feel weird all of a sudden I feel nervous Something is wrong but I can’t tell “But I can’t let it ruin today’s work I’m determined and no ill feelings can bring my zeals down” I told myself I went through the files and saw my schedules I have up to eight meetings Soon I heard a knock and my secretary came in to give the news that the first meeting has been shifted to tomorrow “Ma, the first meeting has been shifted to Tuesday ma due to... “And which meeting is that”? “Ma”? “You’re not deaf, are you”? I asked trying to defend the little changes I’ve developed within this thirty minutes I know she’s surprised by the whole thing I don’t like to repeat a topic Once I’m aware of anything I always don’t want it repeated because I feel I’m too smart to be reminded of anything “Ermm no ma,it’s just you asked me to drop your schedule files which I saw you reading earlier before I left your office and I.... “Fine read it”! I interrupted and dropped the file close to where she’s standing “The cancelled meeting and the next only please, I’ll go through the rest again later” I said concentrating on my system “Okay ma, the meeting canceled is with Mr Williams from BACO PRINTING COMPANY, and the next on the list is the interview with the new applicant for the post of..... “Is the applicant here”? I cut in again “Yes ma” Doris replied sharply “A man or a woman”? I asked “It’s a man ma”Doris answered “Let him in” Okay ma Shortly after Doris left,there was a knock at the door which someone(the applicant) gently opened, I didn’t look up for almost five minutes I concentrated on my system and finally looked up That was the most awkward moment, I totally lost my senses, I can feel the butterflies rising in my tummy, how can a man be this charming, there were voices in my head “Nancy he’s not a human, Nancy this is not real,nancyyyyyyy! I heard a voice shouted in my head and I got back to my senses immediately “Ma, are you okay?,is everything okay ma,do you need water”? ”damn! His voice,I can feel more butterflies in my tummy “Is everything alright”? I heard his voice while lost and I came back to my senses again “Yes,yeah it’s..everything is..every..yeah I’m fine”I stuttered “You sure you don’t need some water”? He asked “Ohh yeah..um yes I think I do”I said trying to find words Shortly he came back with a glass of water and handed it to me I sipped from it and kept the glass cup on the table
