The house has been really lonely and quiet since Sekani left for college. I miss him so much, I miss his clumpsy attitude, his hailing and noises he made anytime he watched football even his constant barging into my room. I miss everything about Sekani.

I was always alone at home, I hardly had visitors because I have few friends just Becky and Mike. Sometimes Becky spends the weekend at my place to keep me company while Mike visits once in a while.

It was a Friday night and Becky decided to spend the weekend here. We were in the living room talking about how our week went.

"So tell me how is your new job going?"I asked Becky who was on the other side of the couch, leaning forward to reach her toe nails that she was painting with a nail polish.

"Oh girl, that place is amazing !! The environment , the workers, the clients and the exposure are all wonderful...."she said smiling widely showing how excited she was. Then she leaned back into the chair to face me.

"But my favourite is the Boss !"she said resting her hand on the edge of the couch.

"That man is so finnneee, he's a clear evidence that God exists because he was created so perfectly, perfect jawlines, perfect biceps, perfect hair and his smile ...... Oh Lord !"she said crawling closer to me, using her hands to hold her head while day dreaming about her 'supposed boss '.

"You're just exaggerating, a man can't be that perfect"I giggled looking at how Becky was acting like a 13 year old weirdo.

"You don't believe me uhn ....okay .."she said reaching for her phone on the table then she handed it over to me to take a look at some pictures of her boss.

And I must say this man is really handsome. He was tall with a slightly huge stature, he had curly hair with nice sport waves and a really nice caramel skin colour.

"Now do you see ?" She said feeling victorious that she proved me wrong.

I scrolled further on the webpage that spoke about his biography. And I found out other surprising details.

"What?! He's also a billionaire and a successor of the Johnson's Empire. He's just 25 !" I said all in one breath surprised at how far he has gone in life.

"Yeah that's him.....but I'm not really into him"Becky said with a pout while twisting a strand of her hair with her index finger.

"Why?! He's married ?" I asked.

"No he's super single but there's something about Drake Johnson people don't get to see that only his employees know about."she paused for a while then continued speaking.

"He's a rock."she said with a annoyed look before standing up walking towards the kitchen.

"A rock ?! What do you mean ?"I asked her following her into the kitchen where she was getting ready to make dinner.

"Just like a rock , he's hard hearted and cold. He's mean, talks anyhow he likes to anyone and doesn't care about how you would feel later on."she said all this while chopping some onions on a chopping board.

"Who knew the devil had the prettiest face"I chuckled and rolled my eyes at my comment.

"I know right! Well enough of me what about you, how's your boring life going ?" She asked putting the onions into a frypan that was on a lit burner.

"You yourself said it , it's boring there's nothing new to talk about,let me help you with the cooking."I began to marinate the already sliced pieces of meat.

We cooked and ate while talking about other girls stuff. We practically did a whole lot of catching up because we have been too busy to see or talk due to the busy nature of our jobs.

It was Monday and I was in my office taking a look at the finances that were forwarded to me . This wasn't an easy job because the files I had to look at and file out where also piled up on my desk. As I was about to dig into the files my office telephone rang.

"Miss Skai speaking"I said into the phone.

"Skai head to the management hall there's a board meeting about to commence."Archer said quickly before hanging up.

I put on my jacket and adjusted my clothes then I headed to the meeting.

When I arrived I saw the same three young men who interviewed me with an elderly man seated at the far end of the long rectangular table whom I've never seen around here.

He was chubby and short. He had grey hair but with a sharp smile , he looked like the guy in Monopoly except he wasn't wearing a top hat.

"Miss Skai have a seat, I'm sure you haven't seen me around , I've heard so much about you from my subordinates, I'm Mr Orchard by the way."I flinched hearing what the slightly old looking man said knowing I was standing in front of the owner of the company.

"Oh..G g g good morning sir. I'm honoured by your nice reports"I stuttered while the three men alongside Mr Orchard laughed.

"It's fine , so we have a serious contract to discuss with you"He said as he ushered me to sit.

"What's it about?" I asked as I settled in my seat.

"We want to merge with the Johnson's Empire"he said with his eyes widening while giving the look of a villain.

"What?! That's a huge decision and it's highly risky, what about the workers here and ...."I was cut short by Archer who began to speak.

"Well we haven't done that yet neither have we proposed that to the Johnson's yet"He said while flicking his pen.

"We just can't jump into a proposal with the Johnson's hastily we have to make them have trust and confidence in us so we made a contract with them." Stephen who was one of the three men said leaning back into his chair.

"So what does the contract entail ?"I asked wanting to know where I come into play.

"You! It entails you ,Skai"Mr Orchard said energetically acting younger than he looks.

"Me ?!" I asked in confusion.

"You'd be on a contract job with them for 6 months. You'd be auditing and handling their finances making sure they are in order. " Mr Orchard said using his hands to demonstrate in the air.

"So you're lending me to a company to gain trust and confidence ?"I asked feeling slightly annoyed.

"Now hold on lady you might want to hear the best part." Scott the third guy said holding his hands up to stop me from talking while gesturing Mr Orchard to speak.

"And your pay would be tripled , you'd also get your official car and ....."he stretched his last word and paused taking a glance at the three men then back at me.

"You'd also get to he among one of them as soon as the contract is closed!",he said with a huge reassuring smile.

"What?! Are you serious ?" I asked in shock standing up to look at their faces.

"Yes Skai, that's how we all reacted when we got our first offer."Stephen said while chuckling.

"What do you mean ?"I asked settling back into my chair.

Archer stood up and walked towards Mr Orchard.

"Three of us were offered contracts like this and based on our individual performance we were put in charge of the company rendering us the second hand of Mr Orchard" Archer said patting the back of Mr Orchard.

"Yes I can stay away from the company as long as I want to with these three running it"Mr Orchard said with pride.

"Wow so I'd get a chance to be the boss like you all ?"I still can't believe this. I used the back of my hand to wipe the sweat off my forehead.

"Yes Skai and we picked you because we've seen your potentials and how you've been handling out finances well. We trust you to represent us well." Mr Orchard said coming closer to where I was seated. Then he sat on the table looking straight into my eyes .

"So Skai what's it gonna be ?!" Mr Orchard said with his blue coloured pupil widening while Scott, Archer and Stephen leaned closer from their seat to hear my response.

"Okay I'm in !" I said with vigor.

Then Mr Orchard and the rest squealed for happiness and handed me some paperwork to sign then they enlightened me more about my job there and when I'd begin the contract.

It looks like my life is finally lightening up and making me feel better despite the turn out of events in these past few months.
