A NIGHT WITH THE CRAZY CEO

**BRIANNA**

The rest of my shift at the club passed by in a blur with my mind replaying my conversation with Mr Cole over and over again. The customers soon started exiting the club and in few minutes the club was already empty with only the employees tidying the place up.

By 11:45pm Cherry and I were out of the club and walking towards the direction of my house when she brought up the conversation between me and Mr Cole which I didn’t want to talk about.

“What’s up with you and the boss?” She asked as we walked.

“Nothing, why do you ask?” I questioned.

“Well I couldn’t help but notice that your mood turned sour after whatever conversation the both of you had.” She replied

“The truth is that he has been bothering me from the time we stepped inside that club that he wanted us to be bed friends and this evening he promised to f**k me with or without my permission.” I explained to her.

“This has been going on and you couldn’t even tell me about it?” She asked almost angrily.

“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you, I just didn’t want to weigh you down with all of my problems.” I responded sadly. She stopped walking then faced me and put her hands on my shoulder.

“Listen if something is bothering you I’m always here to here you out. If you can’t tell me what is going on with you then who are you gonna tell?” She replied then asked.

“Thanks Cher I say this and I’ll keep saying it you’re the best friend a girl could ever ask for.” I stated close to tears.

“Enough of that. Let us get home on time. We don’t want you to be late on your first day, do we?.” She questioned at the end.

“Nope I would rather eat shit than facing Adrian’s craziness.” I replied.

After my reply we walked faster and got home in no time. When we stepped into the house everywhere was dark so I traced my hand on the wall and switched on the light. Nobody was in the sitting room so Cherry and I climbed up the not so long stairs to the small hallway that led to the bedrooms. I walked into my mother’s room and met her asleep so I moved closer to her and pecked her forehead before striding out of the room. I met Cherry in the hallway and we both walked to the room Marie and I shared. We saw her reading on her bed.

“Hey Marie, shouldn’t you be sleeping already? Its past 12.” I stated.

“I should be asleep already but we are starting our exams soon so I need to study. I sleep soon.” She replied.

“OK then just make sure you don’t sleep later than it already is. I have to sleep now so as to wake up early tomorrow. Goodnight.” I stated moving to the bed.

“Goodnight.” She responded.NôvelDrama.Org content.

“Cherry let’s share my bed or will you sleep on the small mattress?” I questioned.

“I will sleep on the mattress rather than squeezing ourselves on your bed.” She replied.

“Hey you don’t have to remind me I’ve got a small bed.” I joked and we burst into laughter. I got the mattress and laid it in the remaining space left in the room. After that I went to the bathroom and stripped out of the clothes I was wearing, brush my teeth and took a short shower and then changed into my night wear. I got out of the bathroom and met Cherry and Marie sleeping already. I got on the bed and set an alarm on the table clock on my bedside table and then within a few minutes I was out like a light.

#NEXT MORNING

I woke up with a start but was surprised because I didn’t hear the sound of my alarm ringing. Maybe I woke up earlier I thought but when I checked the time on my phone I realized I thought wrong and I was thirty minutes late, well it turned out that my alarm battery was not working anymore. I jumped out of bed and literally flew to the bathroom (just kidding I just ran) and took the shortest shower of my life and in less than five minutes I was in front of my wardrobe taking out the bag of clothes Cherry bought for me yesterday and quickly picked the black pencil skirt and white striped long-sleeved shirt.

I put on my underwear first before putting on the clothes. I went to the front of the mirror and combed out the tangled locks of my hair and applied lip gloss and I picked up my best black flat shoe and then slid my feet into it before fetching my mini bag that contains the necessary things and jogged out of my room and down the stairs to the kitchen where I met mom eating a breakfast of bread and jam. I looked around for Marie and later realized that she must have left for school since I woke up late.

“Good morning mom.” I greeted.

“Morning darling, how was your night? I slept before you came back last night so I didn’t know the time you came back.” She replied.

“My night was fine mom. I have to go to work now or I’m gonna get fired on my first day.” I stated already moving toward the door of the kitchen.

“You should eat breakfast at least.”

“OK mom.”

I ate three slices and drank a cup of water before I  bid her goodbye and ran out of the house. I got to the bus station and in no time the bus arrived and I got into it. After a few minutes the bus stopped in the bus station that was five minutes away from the company. I walked for five minutes and I was in the company in no time.

“Good morning Miss Jackson. You are one hour late already and I hope the boss doesn’t make a fuss about it.” The Receptionist who I now knew her name as Kristen stated.

“Good morning Miss Kristen. I know I came late and I’m gonna face the boss’s wrath if he finds out. Is he in?” I replied then asked.

“Yes he is and he came in one hour and fifteen minutes ago.” She replied.

“OK then, see you later.” I responded. I signed in before going to the direction of the elevator. I stepped into it and the door slid close. I pressed the number of the floor I was going to and waited patiently for it to get there. The elevator dinged after some minutes and the door slid open. I stepped out of it and continued my journey to my office.

I entered my office and dropped my bag on the  and noticed a short note on it that read: ‘COME TO MY OFFICE IMMEDIATELY YOU SIGN IN’.
