To Ethan everywhere moved in slow pace, he couldn’t remember when last he was hit by anyone, all his hurtful memories of the pain he has went through came pouring down on him, then the anger and then the rage, he was so going to kill Nadia for having the thought to slap him.

Immediately Nadia slapped Ethan, jack spring up from his seat, he looked shocked but he quickly got himself as he rushed to create a blockage for Nadia so Ethan could not do anything stupid, he knew Nadia was done for, and he was just in time to prevent Ethan from hitting Nadia as him hand was already on the air few inches from Nadia’s face, Nadia was shocked relieving she was almost slapped by Ethan if not for the intervention of the young man that was now standing in between her and Ethan, she stepped back as Ethan was trying so to push through the young man to get to her, Ethan eyes was now blood as he stared at Nadia, how dare she slapped him, and how dare jack block his way preventing him from dealing with her.

“ how dare you, how f**king dare you” Ethan barked angrily as he pushed forward but was always pushed back by Jack,

“ man, you need to calm down, and you take her out of here” he shouted at Richard who has been standing there transfix, he quickly got himself and hurriedly dragged Nadia out of the office,

“ haaaaa, am f—–g going to kill her” Ethan shouted in rage heading for the door but jack was fast enough, he blocked the door preventing him from getting out, he knows his friend was on the edge now and nothing could stop him from exploding.

“ get out of my way” he shouted at jack

“ you need to cool this off, okey,” “ she slapped me”

“ I know but please calm down, you are not leaving here until you are calm”

“ okey am calm” he said trying to behave clam

” no you are not”

“ I said an f—–g calm” he snapped at jack

“ no you are not” jack barked at him

Ethan with annoyance went to his desk in one go throwed everything to the ground, he was so angry right, he can’t just get over the thought that he was just slapped by a woman.

“ what is wrong with you miss Nadia, do you know what you just did” Richard fired at her as soon as they got into the elevator, Nadia wasn’t pleased with what she did but at the same time didn’t regret it, Ethan deserves more than that for putting her father in his present situation, she ignored Richard not interested in what he was saying .

“ look I know you are angry but you went to far, you just put a lot of people in problem”

Nadia looked up at him not understanding what he meant

“ what do you mean?”

“ he will definitely ask how you were able to pass the front desk, the second and third desks then the security without being stopped or questioned, and it will all fall to me, I was the one that passed the order that no one should question you whenever you come around, am definitely going to get sack, he will sack somebody, if not everyone “

That was when it hits her, that’s why she was able to get through without no check up

“ oh my God”, she believed everything that Richard told her, someone like Ethan will definitely do as she was told.

Back at Ethan’s office he was still angry and wasn’t even close to calming down, jack was still standing at the door, he wanted to be rest assured that Ethan was relaxed before he could step out of the door

“ I will so make her pay, she will come rolling on her knees when am done with her, her and her family anyone close to her will hear from me”

“ just calm down a little will you”

“ calm, of course I will be calm after am done with all the plans I have for her, she will so see it coming”

Jack knew his friend meant every words he said, he just can’t believe Nadia could make such mistake, she really picked the wrong guy.

“ come on man, she just hurt and angry, you actually just bankrupted her father, who wouldn’t do more than what she just did”

“ do I look like I care, where is my phone and where is my f—–g PA”

Just then there was a knock on the door, Jack knowing it was Richard opened up for him to get through, Richard entered into the office slowly, he was so scared of what will happen to him if his boss gets to find out that he was the reason Nadia was able to get to his office, he shouldn’t have gave that order, now he knows it will cost him his job and that of some workers.

“ and bring Frank and Max to my office right now, they have to explain to me how that b—h was able to get into my office” he ordered, Frank was the head of security and Max was the head of staff, he already knows what was about to happen, he have to take responsibility for his actions, he wouldn’t want anyone to pay for it.

“ sir” he called not sure on how to say it.

“ why are you still standing there or are you deaf” he has been shouting non stop and he just couldn’t hold himself back

“ sir, I was the one that gave the order of free passage to Nadia” he said with his head bow, Jack eyes grown in shock, his friend was going to definitely sack him.

Ethan couldn’t contain his anger, he felt betrayed

“ you gave free passage to my enemy’s daughter into my company, my company” he just can’t get over this fate,

“ am really sorry sir, I will never make such mistake again, I beg of you”

“ there won’t be room for that, I want you to get out of my sight, out of my company and never to step your foot here ever again”

“ Ethan, don’t you think
.”

“ stay out of this Jack “ he interrupted Jack

“ sir please, am sorry” he said admit tear now, he was the bread winner of his family, his mother and two sisters look up to him for everything, how was he going to get a good job as good as this and with good pay, it took him two years after he graduated to get this job, his mother and siblings are the only reason he has been tolerant towards Ethan, now he just lose his job all because of a good gesture.

“ one more word from you then you will see your ass in jail, I don’t want to call the security on you”

“ Richard, come on, it’s better you leave, come” jack took Richard by the hand and took him out of the office, he wouldn’t want Richard to be dragged out like a criminal.

“ listen, he is still pissed off okey, once he is down he will call you, he will definitely miss his PA, and believe me there is no better PA than you”

“ what if he doesn’t call”

“ he will, you know your boss”

“ that’s the point, I know him, he has never called any one that he has sacked back”

“ he will make an exception in your case, so go home and don’t think too much about it okey”

“ thanks”

“ you are welcome “

Richard walked away while Jack returned to the office, he was now annoyed at his friend, he didn’t know if he will be able to convince his to call Richard back but he has to assure Richard for the boy’s sake

“ what is your problem, why will you have to sack him, that guy has Been working for you for so long now and he has never for once made a mistake which you and I know, this is his first error, why can’t you just let it go”

“ well his first mistake got me a slap on my face”

“ I have never interfere with any one you have ever sacked, I don’t care if you are piss off, if you are angry and if this is your company but you see that young man, you are going to call him back and give him back his job, am not telling you what to do but it’s the right thing to do”

with that he sat do no the seat, both ignoring each other as Ethan also sat down, all his thoughts right now was how to punish Nadia. in as much as Jack was angry with Ethan he just couldn’t leave him alone, he wouldn’t want Ethan to do anything stupid, even if Ethan won’t accept at, he seriously needs someone around him right now.

WILLIAM’S RESIDENT

Nadia got home after hours of driving clearing her head and mind which she needed and walk straight to her parents bedroom, she quietly opened the door without entering, her mother was sleeping at the other end of the bed just close to her father still on the clothes she was wearing in the day, she must have cried herself to sleep, her father too was also sleeping. she closed the door quietly again and headed to her room, she took off her clothes leaving them just laying on the floor of her bedroom, she went to the bathroom to have her bath, she closed her eyes as the cold water touched her skin, this was what she needed, a cold bath. Maybe it will make her to forget what she has done few minutes ago, she drifted into her own thought, “ how am I going to do this, God please help me find a way, my parents can’t lose everything, what if it’s my fault, I should have just agreed to marry him when he asked, God please help your daughter”, she didn’t know when the tears starts pouring out from her eyes.

After about 15 minutes in the bathroom as she spent most of the minutes there crying and talking to God she came out, she put on her pyjama, it was just 7pm but she too decided to sleep, maybe a good sleep will give her a good idea that will help her and her family, she was about to climb onto her bed when she heard a knock at her door, she opened up to see one of the maid.

“ good evening ma’am” she greeted bowing her knees and head

“good evening, what is it?”

“there is someone on the landline that want to speak with you”

“okey am going, thank you” she said trying to think of anyone that will possible call her on the landline, she went immediately to the sitting room where the land line is and picked it up.

“ hello, Nadia William speaking, who is this please” she spoke into the phone

“ Good evening Miss Nadia, it’s me Richard”

She looked at the phone surprisingly then placed it back on her ear

“you said who are you again?” she asked again trying to be sure she heard the name correctly

“ it’s Richard, Mr Donald PA or rather ex PA”

Nadia was shocked with the relaxation, “ he sacked you”

“yeah he did”

“ am so sorry, this is all my fault”

She has been apologizing to Richard even before she left Ethan’s company, Richard should be angry with her but here he is calling her, he just doesn’t know but he have the urge to help her.

“ that’s not a problem, things happens, but that’s not why am calling you”

“ no, then what is it?”

“ I really don’t know why I want to help you but I just want to, if you want to help your family, there is only one person that can help you do that”

Nadia mood lighten up to hear that there might be a way to help her father

“ what is it?”

“ it’s not what, is who, there is only one person that Ethan does listen to and that is his godfather, senator Philip “

“ Senator Philip, I know him, I have met with him on one occasion, he is Ethan godfather?”

“ yes, if you are able to talk with him, he might be able to help, do you want to give it a try”

“ yes of course, but how do I meet him?”

“ he is hosting a party tomorrow evening in Lagos , if you are willing to go I can get an invitation for you”

Getting am invitation latter for Nadia won’t be a problem, that the benefits of being Ethan’s PA, Nadia contemplated on what Richard told her before finally made up her mind, she will do anything to help her parents.

“yes am in”

“ but mine you, Ethan will be there so try to avoid him, you target is Senator Philip “

“ that won’t be a problem” she said confidently

“ I will call you tomorrow so we will make preparation”

“alright, but why are you helping me?”

“ like I said, I really don’t know, talk tomorrow”

The line ended, she dropped the phone contemplating on all what Richard said, she knew it wasn’t going to be easy but she will do anything to get her family back on their feet, she prays in her heart Richard was right about what he said, maybe God is answering her prayer after all, she headed back to her room, she needed to catch some sleep for her, tomorrow is going to be a long day.

“Lagos, am going to you”.
