PROVE IT TO ME

DAWN!??

CHAPTER Two

On getting to the office only few had resumed. I greeted randomly till I got to my office I wasn’t really a people person and I tried to avoid that at all cost. I went ahead to my desk as I sighed tiredly sitting on it. The weather was damp which was perfect for just relaxing and Netflix either ways a storm was coming strong.

I searched my bag taking out my laptop I had an application that I needed to submit.

“You are two minute earlier today” Olivia walked in. She was the only real friend I had in the office. The others were just hi’s and bye’s or other professional works.

“Yh I kicked in early huh” I smiled narrowly. She was a very admirable woman, we barely clicked when she first arrived but as time went on I saw that she was the best bet one could have for a friend. I cherished her elegance, stance, composure, the ability to handle things without spinning out and also being the best friend when I needed her cause I know I am a hard nut to crack. Siding away from all that she was the most beautiful person I had ever me. Her biracial features doing the most half Jamaican and American.

“You on heavier make up today anything I should know?” she asked as she sat on the table.

“Nothing really was just sleep walking and hit my head on the bathroom wall” I said avoiding eyes contacts. Olivia knew me too well to know that I am actually lying but it wouldn’t to give a try.

‘Spill was it Branson?” she asked touching my face, I couldn’t even protect my lie as I winced in pain.

“I told you I hit my head” I said still trying my best to stance on it.

“You know I give up, cause I know you’ll just keep lying when it so damn obvious that you didn’t hit your head on any damn wall……”

“Enough with the curses” I said to her knowing fully well she couldn’t construct a single one without it”

“Oh no we just fuckin’ began”

“Oh good lord” I murmured to myself.

“Look I cant take this anymore Alrie, you guys are not even married and he does this horrible things to you. Is it until he kills you?....... The motherfucker controls you and tells you what and what not to do, and guess what you heed to all his desires. I might not be able to define your relationship but I know a parasitic relationship when I see one”

“It’s toxic you dumbass” I corrected

“Well he is surely harming the host while he is benefitting, aren’t you listening to all I am saying you do not deserve that scumbag..”

“Don’t you dare insult him” I interrupted her unable to bear those insult at him again. We were in a relationship and couples fight a lot so I don’t get the fuss she was she was making.

“He even had the effrontery to tell you to disregard your relationship with your parent…….”

“Enough Olivia my relationship is none of your business why don’t you put all that advise and work into another relationship, I see why you got divorced now.”

I said so furious. She was going overboard and she needed someone to halt her and I didn’t mind doing it even if it was going to ruin our friendship

“Oh ok I can now see what is going on here. Am out and when you finally realize don’t come crying to me.” She said smiling but she was hurt all over I saw it, but she didn’t respect my own opinions so I didn’t also.

“f**k you” she said leaving.

I sighed taking my seat.

“Wow” I said speechless. I didn’t know what to think or even how to act. All I knew is that friendship of ours was cloudy.

I drifted my focus back to my laptop as the CEO asked me to submit an application and at that personally which was very unlike her. What I only wanted to focus on right now was finding a way to submit the applications to her on time.

I walked briskly to her office really anxious of why she wanted me to submit this to her personally and not through an email. I knocked softly on her door.

“Come in”

“Good afternoon Miss Brown” I greeted.

“The application?” She asked ignoring my greetings. I really didn’t care wether she replied or not we were mostly not on good terms reasons best known to her, besides we were closely age mates she was just born into a luxury family.

I gave a sly smile as I dropped the document in front of her. She went through the documents till she stopped halfway through.

“Any problem?” I asked.

“You know I hate to admit that this is impressive ,making the most qualified I can them? “

“To them?” I asked confused

“Yh to them” she said completely ignorant about the shock.

“Excuse me I thought this was only a submission of the geographical zones of the oil production”

“Well you thought….. the project I told you to work on is for a competition between other international companies and I needed the most competent employee for this work..”

“…The manager ma’am?” I asked a bit disgusted. Yes this was a big opportunity and I was excited to have this opportunity but at the same time it was also very overwhelming. I mean with all that is going on between me and Branson and all…..

“Are you interested?” She asked interrupting rudely.

“Can I give my reply tomorrow I need to think I have to consider.” I said

She gave a short sigh then turned her stare to me.

“Okay but tomorrow seven in the morning at the latest because I have to send my consent to them and you need to make your way to Ottawa in the next three days.

I nodded slightly leaving her office. I needed to speak to Branson about it all. I checked my phone for the time. Ten minute past twelve. Branson should be in the office by now I needed to run all this by him first.

I made my way to his office.

I was a bit overwhelmed about everything including with everything that went down with olive this morning. I gave her a mixed stare as I walked past her desk.

I gave a knock on Branson’s door.

“Come in” he yelled.
