Harry said nothing until he finished drinking the remaining coffee in his mug, “When it comes to business, we work fast. And there is a lot that needs to be done, so an assistant is needed. Next week is the company’s anniversary, and OmniGlobal airline will also be officially opened.”
“Oh? I wasn’t aware of that,” Celsie said, wondering why she hadn’t heard anything of the anniversary.
“That’s because Benne was too busy chasing you to remember that, and I only just reminded him of it yesterday before the board meeting. I think he probably couldn’t mention it to you because of all that happened yesterday,” Harry explained.
“Oh, I think you’re right,” Celsie said, remembering all that had happened the previous day.
“So this anniversary, how is it done here? Is it a very big deal?” Celsie asked curiously.
The only thing she knew about the anniversary was that they always gave them bonuses at that time of the year, but since it was her first time at the headquarters, she had no idea how it was celebrated here.
“Yeah. There are usually lots of activities during that week, ranging from sports competitions to award ceremonies and cocktail parties. Benne has never attended these functions in the past apart from the closed dinner parties with directors and shareholders, but this year he will be doing so,” Harry said, and Celsie nodded.
“The circular will be sent out today informing all staff of the coming events. Don’t worry about it. I’m handling the preparation so that Benne can give you all his attention,” Harry said as he stood to leave.
“When you eventually have a girlfriend, I will make sure Benne handles the business so you can have time to date too,” Celsie promised, and Harry chuckled.
“So, do you want to sit in and get a chance to choose who becomes his assistant?” Harry asked, and Celsie shook her head.
“Nah. We can’t let our relationship get in the way of work. It will make everyone uncomfortable,” Celsie said, and Harry looked at her for a moment as though he was contemplating something.
“You don’t want to see the female that might be working closely with Benne?” Harry asked, and Celsie’s ears perked up at that.
“Females?” She asked in alarm.
Harry chuckled, “For a moment there, you were acting too relaxed like you didn’t care about Benne, so I wanted to ruffle your feathers a bit. Don’t worry. Benne said they all have to be male, so I’m going to be there to pat them down myself if I have to, just to be sure we don’t have any female CT. You can relax,” he said with a wink, and Celsie glared at him as she relaxed.
“What do you mean, female CT anyway?”
Harry grinned, “CT stands for Crazy Benne. That is the term I’ve coined for anybody crazy enough to pretend to be what they’re not to get somebody. So a female CT in this case is a female that might want to be disguised as a male to get close to him,” Harry explained, and Celsie laughed softly.
“I see.”
A knock sounded on the door, and Amy walked in once Celsie gave her the go-ahead. She looked slightly surprised when she saw Harry and clutched her bag tightly, “Good morning, Mr. Jonas, Director Miller,” Amy greeted politely.
“You are late,” Harry said sternly as he glanced at the wall clock.
“I…I am sorry,” she said apologetically, and from the looks of her, Celsie could tell that she wasn’t okay.
“She called to say she would be running late,” Celsie said as she stood up, and Harry turned to look at her with disapproval.
“I don’t like being lied to… Especially by people I consider my friends,” he said, and Celsie looked at him apologetically.
“I’m sorry. Can you let it slide this once?” she asked, and Harry gave her a nod before walking away.
“I’m sorry,” Amy said apologetically, feeling sorry that she had made Celsie look bad in front of Harry.
Celsie waved it off dismissively, “Don’t be. You don’t look fine. What is wrong?” She asked, and Amy teared up, unsure she wanted to share her problem with her boss.
“I need the day off. I know it’s impromptu, but please, can I go home? I don’t feel well,” Amy pleaded, making Celsie go around the desk to meet her.
“What is the problem? Do you want to talk about it?” She asked as she offered Amy her handkerchief, but Amy shook her head.
“I’m not sure. I just want to be alone right now. So please, can I go home?” She asked, and Celsie gave her a nod.
“Sure. Just bring me all the documents you were supposed to submit today before you leave,” Celsie said, and Amy gave her a nod.
“Thank you,” Amy said before walking out of the office, leaving Celsie staring after her with concern.
Immediately Celsie remembered that she also had Lucas to be worried about, so she returned to her desk and picked up her phone as she tried to reach him again, but his line was still off, so she left him a text instead.
Once she was done, she fished inside her handbag and took out the card the ladies from the foundation had left the previous day, and she typed their number on her phone.
Celsie closed her eyes and took a deep breath, knowing that the moment she dialed their line and accepted their deal, there would be no going back.
She would have to play this game with Anita until either of them gives up. Hopefully, she will not only be ahead of Anita in this game, she will beat her to it.
“Game on,” Celsie said as she dialed the line.
New Book: Back Home to Marry Off Myself

Lazy author where have you been?
I don’t know what’s wrong with this site. Just hoping the authors are doing great. It’s really disheartening to come again, refresh the pages and then find no updates. Either it should be clarified that what’s going to happen or it should be updated on time. Kindly don’t test the patience of readers.
Well seems like the author gave up ion this novel 😩😢
More than 15 days without any updates ! It was a very good story … 😢

All I want is Abiye to be put into where she belong (prison) so that Celsie will enjoy her love life with Benne without any disturbance.
