Chapter 2 Resentment

My alarm soon went off, its 6:00am already, time sure flies when you are having fun or doing something interesting. I got up and changed the sheets after which I went to the bathroom to do my business and shower. I finished and dried myself up with my towel then put on body lotion and wore a red bra and matching panties, its another day of work for me, I dread Mondays, things never seem to go right for me on Mondays.

I picked out a knee length black pencil skirt and a white shirt and a black office jacket with black six inches high heel, this is my usual Monday dressing code and this time I made sure to button up properly, I definitely do not want a repeat of last week Monday's event.

Flashback

The office phone on my desk rang, its probably a call from the CEO Mr Bullard

"Miss Axymah, the documents I asked you to work on please bring them to my office right now." It was a call from him I was right.

"Okay." I hung up and gathered all the documents I took it to his office when I got there he was not on seat I decided to leave it on his desk so he'll see them when he gets back. But these are important documents what if it gets stolen? No one would dare still from his office, he is feared by all his staffs, I decided to leave it there and go back to my office which is on the same floor as his.

After I got to my office about seven minutes later my office phone rang again, I picked and Mr Bullard yelled into the phone hurting my ears.

"Miss Axymah do you want to get fired?!!!"

"No sir."

"Come into my office right now!!"

I wondered what the problem was and rushed to his office.

"Why did you leave such important documents on my desk? Someone could stumble upon it and steal it."

"You were not on seat and-"

"Could you not wait for me to get back?" He interrupted.

"Well..."

"You are lucky the documents didn't go missing."

"Pass me the documents over there." He ordered rudely, he has absolutely no respect for his staffs. I went to get him the documents and bent over to get it, apparently my ass my facing directly to his face.

"What are you doing?!!!" He asked with his voice raised.

"I'm getting the files you ask me to get you." I didn't even know that my ass was facing his head.

"Two companies have applied for this new contract give the one you think will undergo the contract very well."

"Okay sir, I need your signature on it."

"Get me a pen."

I hunched over him to get the pen and my shirt unbuttoned in the process exposing the top of my breasts, I was about to take the pen from his desk before he pushed me away with so much force that I almost fell.

"You are a shameless woman, you are trying to seduce me with all your glory but I will not give in to the devil, do you not know that your body is the temple of God. For shame woman, for Shame."

"How am I trying to seduce you? Besides how will you pray to God without entering his temple, you will at some point" okay so that was a very wrong choice of word.

"First you put your ass in my face now you want to put your mangoes too, your shirt is unbuttoned and you're saying filthy things to me, you lack good mannerism and value." My face turned red as I tried to button it.

"I didn't know, I'm sorry." He took the pen from his desk and signed it, he should have done that since but no, he can't do anything for himself as long as people are there for him to send to do it.

End of flashback.

That was such an embarrassing moment for me, I put on cologne and took my handbag that has my office documents in it and carried the plate which I used to eat my sandwich and the cup for the milk to the kitchen.

I saw mom making breakfast for dad and I. "Good morning mom." I greeted.

"Morning dear, how are you feeling?" She asked staring at me.

"Much better thank you, what are you making?" I asked as I leaned in to see what it was.

"Waffles and coffee your two favourite things." she said.

"I can't wait to taste it." I said and my mouth instantly begin to water.

"Darling I have news for you." She said grinning ear to ear, I'm guessing its a good news.

"What is it," I said with a smile and she handed me a white envelop "just tell me already." I said impatiently.

"Read it first." I opened it and read the content, I jumped up in joy and my eyes began to tear up.

"You- you're pregnant." I exclaimed as I jumped up in happiness.

"Yes baby, I'm six weeks gone." She said and grabbed my hand.

"Congratulations mom." I pulled her in a for a hug, not too tight because of her unborn baby.

"Thank you dear." I see her eyes begin to water.

"You are going to have your own biological child." I said with a small smile.

"No matter what, you are still my child, I will love the both of you equally besides you are an adult it shouldn't matter."

"You are right." I told her.

"I'm always right," she said with a bright smile and I chuckled "come have your breakfast, you don't want to be late something is always up with you and that boss of yours especially on Mondays."

"I know right." Dad came into the kitchen and I congratulated him as well, I ate my breakfast afterwards and drove to work in my sleek Toyota corolla dad got it for me when I turned 18 years old, I got to work thirty minutes later my work place was not all too far from home.

To my bad luck, I got to work five minutes later, that will get me ten minutes of insults and embarrassment from my boss.

"You are late, why don't you save yourself the insults from the boss by never coming late." Sasha yelled exasperated.

"I didn't choose too, I just got caught up with something." I said not paying much attention to her.

"You always have one excuse or the other, its not me that will scold you for coming late, that's the boss's job."

"You are always so cold towards me, I wonder what got stuck in your ass this time to make you so grumpy and watch your tone, I'm the boss here after the boss." I said firmly.

"That's your problem, you can even go on a sweet adventure to find out, rubbish! And.....whether you're my boss or not I wouldn't give two fucks, Mr Bullard is my boss so don't expect to receive any kind of respect from me." She said in such a bitchy tone.

After her little taunt I left and went to my office first I need to decide who will get the contract then I need to hand it out soonest also I have an appointment with one of the companies CEO "Mathias inc." by 10:30 am and I am just in time, that's almost an hour away I should prepare everything before then.

An hour later.

A knock on my office door sounded, its probably the CEO of Mathias inc.

"Come in." I said.

The CEO entered but my head was buried in what I was doing that I didn't see her face.

"Good day Miss Axymah." He greeted.

"Good day to..." I said as I rose my head up, when I saw who it was I couldn't finish my sentence, shock was written all over my face, I was beyond stunned. Mom.

My biological mother, the one who birthed me, the one that was known to be dead for over 9 years standing right in front of me able and healthy not a single bruise or scar how is that possible?

All these years she has been alive she never bothered to come see me to save me from the evil clutches of my Dario she left me to suffer despite being alive all these years.

"My daughter, I have missed you," she said with a weak smile "how have you been my child?"

"No... No, stay away from me, get away!!"

"We will talk about this outside the office now its time to discuss business, please my company needs this contract."

Although I was still shocked I knew I needed to assign the contract to one of the companies, I regained my composure and offered her a seat with watery eyes I cannot let my emotions get the better of me.

"So why do you want the contract?" I asked eyeing her up and down boring holes into her dirty soul.

"Its crucial my company gets the contract, we need it-" she started.

"That's all, you may leave." I interrupted her rudely not even allowing her to finish.

"What! But I'm not done." Like I care, get the hell out of my office.

"I said you may leave, I've heard all I need to." I said sternly.

"Please do not drag our personal matters into this." She begged, I can't believe her right now, did she just say what I heard she said?

"I said leave, I've heard all I need to." I stood my ground and soonest she left my office without another word.

My biological mom... Here... She didn't even try to apologize or give me a hug or ask me to be her daughter again or tell me she misses me tell me the reason she never came back to me or tell me that she isn't dead like I had thought she... She just talked about business and left, will I ever see her again? What even just happened? Am I dreaming?

"Can someone please tell me what happened?" I said to no one in particular as I was the only one in my office I put my head on my desk and cried my eyes out,

I composed myself forty five minutes later and read all the mails from the second company "Amber sparks" asking for the contract and without further Ado I gave them the contract, why should I give "Mathias inc." The contract when my biological mom that abandoned me is the CEO. Never.

I finished up my work for the day still shaken up, I wonder why Mr Bullard didn't send for me today, finally done with all the work I kept piled up I'll have to give all these documents to Sasha because she was asked to hand them to me. I gave back the documents, relieved of last two weeks work, Sasha just had to ruin my day further.

"Finally done with all my work." I said with so much relief.

"You are done with last two weeks work that was due yesterday, have you given out the contract?"

"Yes I have."

"Who did you give it to?"

"Amber sparks."

"What!! Why?! Why did you give it to "Amber sparks company" when Mathias inc. Will carry it out much better."

"Do you want to tell me about my job? Its my job to choose the right company for this contract and I did exactly that."

"You must have a grudge of some kind against the company or just despise it for no reason, at least if that's the case you can settle it outside the office, I wonder what the boss has to say about this?" She said and rushed off to the direction of Mr Bullard's office, I groaned and went back to mine.

Some minutes later, Mr Bullard called me to is office.

"Yes sir, you called for me." I said as I entered his office.

"Yes I did."

"Sasha can you please tell me one more time what you told me?"

"Yes sir, I was going to give Axymah documents for her to work on for this week and I heard her talking inside with someone, I didn't hear clearly what they were saying because the office door was closed. I heard the person begging Axymah not to bring their personal matters and arguments to office, and they should talk about business, afterwards Axymah asked her to leave the office that's when I saw who Axymah was talking to, the CEO of Mathias inc. Now when I asked her she said she gave Amber sparks company the contract and its probably because of the dispute between her and the CEO of Mathias inc."

"Is that true Axymah?" He asked with a raised brow.

"Sir, you know me very well, have I ever brought my personal problems or dispute to this company?"

"No." His answer was direct.

"And have I ever issued a contract to a company and the company does not carry out the contract very well?"

"No, no you have not." He leaned further into his chair.

"I rest my case." I said with full confidence.
