Start With An Unexpected Affair

The sun shines brightly to tell Yasmin what a good day it will be, she took her time to dress up and settled down for mustard yellow coloured top and navy blue skirt to match.

She check her time and realize she’s going to be late if she doesn’t hurry so she quickly grab her bag and head outside.

When she got out, Mr. Bays’ car was already waiting for her and she hop in happily for the free ride

“You always know when to come” she told him smiling gratefully

Thompson smiles back and look her over carefully, she seems to be super-excited today, like something good happened, something which he doesn’t know about

“Did something good happened? You’ve been looking unhappy for days now that got me worried”

“I’m sorry for letting you worry but I’m fine now” she assured with another smile

Thompson nodded and decide not to ask for the reason, he will know soon enough, it’s not like she can hide anything from him

“About the final proposal draft…”

“Yes, I’ll soon be done with it, do you want to see it before I submit to President Black?”

Thompson took his eyes off the road for few seconds to stare at her trying to figure something out, she just referred to Black without the usual resentment

“What’s wrong?” Yasmin asked

“Please do that” he said and concentrate on the drive till she got to her destination

Thompson turn the car back to the direction where they came from and speed off, in the matter of few minutes he got back to her apartment.

He went to the door and unlock it like it isn’t the first time, the door opens and he went directly in without looking suspicious.

Today is the last day Yasmin would have to work in Black corporation, when she first came back, she did not want to stay long, just do what she ought to do and then watch Black empire crushing after

But now that it is about to be over, she doesn’t feel as much happiness as she thought she would feel, rather she wish she could stay longer.

Standing in front of the printing machine, Yasmin wish the papers wouldn’t come out that fast, maybe everything should just move a bit slower today

“Are you done?”

“Almost”

She said and quickly pick up the papers to let the other person make use of it, after checking it over and confirming there isn’t any mistake, she got up excitedly to head to President Black’s office

But just as she pick up the file to leave, she remember Mr. Bays asking her to show him the proposal before she submits and sat down back, the excitement replaced with a melancholy countenance

“I could show him the draft first!’ she suddenly thought few seconds after and jump up looking all excited again

She check through the table and find one of the draft copies she had made just because, she puts a quick brush of lip-gloss and head for his office

When she enter the spacious room, the familiar memory came to her and she could help but smile, the day when only both of them were the only person working in the room with no one else but just the two of them, by each other’s side…

Those thoughts and moments alone filled her heart up and she continue falling and falling till she falls deeply in love with him

“What are you doing here?”

Yasmin turn to answer the question when she saw it’s one of the ladies she had dinner with days’ back, the one who seems like she harbors some hard feelings against her.

“Is President Black in?”

“What do you want to see him for?” Yasmin part her lips to answer the question but she cut her off

“Just give it to me, I will send it to him” she said and stretch out her hand to receive the file in her hands

“I prefer to give it to him myself” Yasmin resorted and walk towards the office, It’s only been few months for her to forget his office anywayNôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

She knock on the door and came in after ascertain that he ask her to come in, she pull the door and enter the cozy room, it looks a much bigger on the inside as President Black is the one to always care about his comfort over every other thing

“mmm…this is the draft report for the list of the locations for the new businesses and the people chosen to head them” she stretch the report to him but he didn’t take it so she drop it carefully on the table instead

~

Kyler hesitates before asking her to come in, he watch her take steps to him and stop, his eyes went over her dress and he look away before she catches him

After listening to what she had to say, he pick up the report and go through it hastily, flipping through the pages without a proper look at it, when he’s done he drop it and continue on what he was doing before she came in.

~

Yasmin wait a little bit for him to say something but he didn’t raise his head to look at her after he dropped the file

“I will come back with the original file for you to sign” she said and walk out after turning back once.

~

“Am I being ignored again?” Yasmin thought, a pang ran through her heart

He clearly promised not to ignore her again, not only that but he affirm his love for her and said he will never leave her…is all that a joke? Just to get her to have sex with him? But he’s not that horrible a person

Filled with different troubled questions and thoughts, Yasmin didn’t realize Talia was in front of her until she made to sit down on the chair and she got pull back aggressively

“What are you doing?” Talia asked sounding harsh.

Yasmin who had regain herself look around herself and realize what she just did, she look back at Talia who seems infuriates staring dagger at her and standing in defense against her like she’s some thief

“My bad, I must have lost myself for a while” she said and try to laugh it off

“I don’t think that’s it, you look like you want this seat desperately” she said the air of defense still there.

“What? That’s not…I got lost in my thoughts and just subconsciously came here” she said and turn to leave

“You’re really a bitch Yasmin” Talia said and Yasmin stops sharply

She turn back and close the few steps between them trying to not take her word to heart, she was original the owner of the seat and if anyone is a bitch that should be her

“And you are not one? You took my seat!”

“Why am I a bitch? You are the bitch who seduced a married man”

Yasmin stare speechless for few seconds not sure how to reply back, her words are true after all and it seems like the realization of many things came to her at once

President Black is already a married man and having feelings for another woman’s husband is not right, but then she has had feelings for him way before he got married

“I’m not a home-wrecker like you who is bent on having my ex-boss”

“But it seems you’re trying so hard to be like me” she strike back and walk away angrily ignoring every other stares.

the rest in the office go to Talia who look teed off and try not to upset her further, they all heard the conversation between them and it looks like there words meant more than what was just said

“I heard President Black made everyone on her team to have a splendid dinner all because of her”

“Does he not hate her anymore?”

“I too thought he did, I mean he ordered that she shouldn’t be allowed into his office ever again but he called Talia this morning to inform everyone that she should be permitted to”

“That sounds ridiculous seeing how she was embarrassed at President Black’s party”

“I guess she’s one of the desperate bitches who are obsessed with our Boss”

Kyler lifted his head when Talia entered in and handle the file over to her

“make me a copy” Talia nodded her head and took the report from him

“And also book dinner at an expensive hotel for the N-project team and also everyone in my office”

“Should I report back on Miss. Cassidy?”

“There is no need, I’m going be there myself”

Talia nodded her head and turn to leave the room but on her second thought she decide to ask the question bothering her

“President Black?” she called to get his attention, Kyler raise up his head again with a puckered brow to let her know she’s disrupting

“I’m sorry but…is Miss Cassidy no longer a burden?” she asked and bite her lips keyed up

Kyler drop his pen not expecting the question, he look straightly at Talia who brought her face down too afraid to look at him

“she’s still a burden…one I don’t plan to let go…” he wanted to say more but just gave a smile and focus back, Talia bow apologetic and leave the room in a slow pace.
