Rolland
I was worried Amelia will not heed to my advice and leave just like I instructed her to do. I decided to wait for her to come out of the company before driving back home. She was walking out of the company with another lady, the receptionist I think, I didn't know what came over me but I felt the need to tell her about the family dinner on Friday.
I pulled over before them making them stop, "get in" I said and she blinked rapidly. I raised my brow at her and she went to open the back door of the car, "come to the front Amelia" I said again and the two girls looked at each other. Amelia reluctantly slipped into the car and closed the door quietly and the receptionist made to go.
I don't mind her leaving because I obviously didn't plan on taking her home, my main concern was Amelia but I felt it won't be right if I let her go just like that. "You can go to the back seat miss, I will drop you" I said and she smiled gratefully. When she was finally settled behind, I drove out in speed.
The ride home was silent as none of us made a sound. I watched Amelia from the side of my eyes to find her staring outside the window. She played with her fingers and I could sense she was nervous. As for the lady behind, I didn't bother to check on her but I could feel her gaze on me as we drove on.
"Miss Amelia" I started making her turn and face me, "yes sir" she answered timidly.
"You are aware that you are still not forgiven for your mindless behavior last time in my office" I said and she bowed her head in regret. "I'm aware sir, I'm sorry" she said calmly still rubbing her palms.
"Sorry to disturb your discussion sir, I think I will drop here" the lady behind said and I pulled over almost immediately and waited till she got out. "See you tomorrow Amelia" she waved at her but she managed a faux smile.
I drove out and once again, the car remained in silence. I was looking for the best way to ask Amelia to come with me to the family dinner without making it look like I was asking her out.
I cleared my throat before talking, "pertaining to your punishment, you will be forfeiting all plans you made on Friday, you will be going out with me on that day" I said and she stared at me in confusion. "I mean, it's like a family dinner. As my personal assistant, I think it is necessary I introduce you to my family so that they can know the person I'm working with at least" I said and she nodded in agreement looking outside the window again.
I know my excuse sound lame but she has accepted to come, that's what matters. "Make sure you are ready before 7:30, you know I don't tolerate lateness" I said in a serious tone, "I understand sir" she said and I nodded.
We drove on for some time before she asked me to stop her. I saw the lady from the hospital ahead with a big shopping bag. She thanked me and left the car and moved straight to the lady and together they carried the shopping bag. I drove out but stopped at a corner and watched them enter a house. I smiled before driving towards my house.
I prepared pasta and meatballs for dinner and sat down to eat after a nice warm shower. I finished eating and packed my plate before moving into the living room and to watch news, it's been long I listened to the business news. I sat on one of the cushions in the living room and switched on the channel where the business news was rendered.
I smiled in satisfaction as my company was announced to be ranking the second best in the country. I know my parents would be very proud of me wherever they are, I looked at the family picture we took before their death as tears threatened to fall off my eyes. They died a cold death, they would have been living if not for their sudden murder. I swore again to make sure their murderers pay for their sins.
I picked up my phone and dialed the geek in charge of their case,"Greetings, Mr Rolland, I have news" he said and I smiled moving into my bedroom.
Amelia
I and Daisy sat on my bed with a box of pizza and Coke as we chatted away. Daisy had seen my Boss's car drive off our neighborhood and have been asking for details. We've been talking for almost two hours and my mouth is tired.
"So tell me about Steven" I said trying to change the subject, I saw her cheeks turn red at the mention of his name and I gasped. I began to tease her and she threw her pillow at me both of us giggling like teenage girls.
"What's going with the two of you atta girl?" I asked amused, "well, he's cute and sweet. He's a good friend actually" she said hiding a smile. "Only?" I asked wriggling my brow. "Get out crazy girl" she said pushing me out of the bed, I laughed loudly as  I allowed her to push me out of the bed. I got up minutes later and removed the box of pizza then I lay down on the bed just beside her.

"Do you really not have any feelings for your boss?" Daisy asked seriously turning to look at my face. I scrunched my nose and shook my head, "no, not at all. Our relationship is just on business matters" I replied getting comfortable on the bed, "I don't think so girl, I think he has feelings for you. I mean who would carry his employee and stay with her till she wakes up in the hospital? Which boss drives his employee home after work?" She asked sitting up from the bed. "I told you he had an important issue to discuss with me and he probably saved me earlier out of pity" I said covering myself with the duvet. "Pity? Important? You've got to open your eyes sis........" She trailed off as I drifted off into a deep sleep.
Next morning, I and Daisy prepared for work as usual, she dropped me in front of the company before going over to hers. I walked to the receptionist desk and signed in but before I could turn, I felt a pair of hands drag me to the female restroom.
"What do you want now Jennifer?" I groaned releasing my hands from her tight grip. She smiled but I could sense it was fake, "how did it go yesterday?" She asked with her brows high.
"What are you talking about?" I asked confused.
"Do you expect me to believe nothing happened between you and boss last night?, He obviously took you out. Why are you pretending now or do you plan to keep it a secret?" She asked and I stared at her in disgust. Such a gossip. " Excuse me? What do you mean?" I asked getting angry already.
"Please keep your voice down, I just want to confirm from you" she said trying to cover my mouth but I slapped her hands away.
"I warn you Jennifer, know your limits and stop poking nose in what does not concern you, you will get in trouble because of it. Excuse me" I said dragging my bag and dashing out of the restroom. She's such a pest. I rolled my eyes as I pressed the elevator button, it opened to reveal my boss, Mr Rolland already inside. He was dressed in a red suit and black inner shirt and shoes, I bowed in respect, "good morning sir", "morning Melly, please do come in" he said informally and I gasped before running inside the elevator. I saw Jennifer glaring at us just before the elevator door closed and I couldn't help but wonder what's up with her.
"How was your night?" That was my boss asking, "very well sir, I hope you slept well?" I returned. "I did" he answered and I nodded my head before we got to The floor we were heading to.
"Let's do a nice work today" he said with a small smile, "sure sir" I said before he entered his office. I slumped on my seat and breathed out, didn't know I was holding my breath.
After a while, I was typing away on my laptop, Mr Rolland came out of his office and headed to the elevator. He didn't say a word to me and I wondered why. He came minutes later and dropped a bagel on my desk.
"You work so hard that you forget it's lunch time. Please Eat something, I won't like to hear you slumped while working" he said entering his office. "Thanks boss!!" I screamed happily as he waved his hands in reply. Work ended for the day and Daisy came to pick me up. I was happy she did because I will not like to go home with Jennifer again today. My phone rang out from my hand bag and I fished it out of my bag checking the caller ID with a smile on my face.
TBC.
