HIS DESIRE

James Andrew, the CEO of Andrews Limited sighed heavily on the chair in his large and well furnished office, besuited in color red and white shirt. It was valentine's day.   But,he had no one to celebrate with at the age of thirty. No woman was in his life. They all date,use and jilt him for no reason exactly. It was obvious they were all after his money so he decided to remain a bachelor for a while.   James sat upright as he pondered about his life. His parents had been pestering him,wanting to see their grandchild. They wanted him to chose a woman from a good home and whom he loves. They don't want to chose for him.    Being the third and last born son,he was cherished and loved by his two brothers,Peter and Paul,who were twin brothers. His brothers got married the same day and they now had kids, two kids each. He was not growing younger but the opposite.    The more he

Joyce Donald was in her place of work,chatting with a friend named Angela. They were both working as waitresses in an eatery which was popularly known as 'Yes,thanks.'  The nickname was give to the restaurant as anybody as anybody who ate there always request for more. Yes,thanks had always been the reply of most customers if they were asked, "Do you enjoy the meal?" Or "Do you want to order for more?"   "No matter how popular this place is,Angela,it will be bad if the pay refuses to increase. So many waiters and waitresses has been complaining about that," Joyce said to her friend.   "It's not as if they are not earning,Joyce. They are gaining a lot. The manager is just too stingy. He is a miser," Angela pointed out.   Felix,the manager of the restaurant approached them. Talk of the devil

Vivian once again visited James on Sunday and insisted that James should follow her to a place. He refused at first but she was really persistent. He had no choice. They were halfway to the place when he broke the silence playing around them.     "Viv,where did you say we're going?" James asked with curiosity. He was just being directed by her on where to take a turn right or left. He was the one driving in his car but he's ignorant of the place.       "Yes,thanks," she replied and the expression that appeared on his face was the perfect definition of confusion.       "Pardon?"       Vivian laughed. "I know you'll be confused. You need to take a look at  your face," she told him between laughter. "Anyway, that's the name. It's a popular eatery. I just want us to try the place," she furthered to qu

It was already seven thirty in the morning and Joyce was still asleep. She slept late the previous night,how could she not still be sleeping? Her mother had thought she had gone out early to the place but was shocked to see her in her bed.        "Oh,Joyce. It's Monday morning. Your interview," she shouted at her daughter who used a pillow to cover her head,not wanting to be disturbed by any noise.   Your iiinterrrviewww! The words pierced through the pillow directly into her ears. She jumped up and shouted at her mother for not waking her up earlier as she ran to the bathroom.       "I thought you've gone," her mother retorted.      Joyce rushed out of the bathroom and sharply got dressed in a yellow shirt and fitted black skirt and a black handbag with a black flat shoe. She combed and folded her hair

James sat in his office alone after summoning for his personal assistant. He had been in need of it for quite a while now. Not that there were no applicants that wanted to work but they were not qualified enough to his taste. His former P. A,a man of integrity and loyalty to him,suddenly resigned with the excuse that he would be abroad - based from then on.          He was hurt but he had no choice and all applicants he had been interviewing after him did not have the qualification he wanted.        Thus,he was happy when his brother,Peter,had told him of a person that was educated,hardworking and intelligent. Peter had suggested and assured him that the person would be no doubt qualified and fit for the position.      If he were to be honest with himself, he found her tactful even though she talks too much. She was always willing to keep quiet whenever he told
