20 Bullying

The following day Henrietta was almost done with dressing up when she heard someone knocking at the door.She walked to the door,to her suprise it was Sarah.

"Morning Henrietta?I have been given this clothes to give to you."

"Are they mine,who gave you?"

"I just received the delivery on your behalf,the note is from the famous fashion designer in our country.Take a look."

Henrietta knew it must be Jeremy's arrangements,she received the package and excused herself.Once Sarah left the room,Henrietta took out one of the many outfits from the package and tried it on ,she put on a navy blue well cut skirt suit,with buttons-ups collar .She looked so professional,she finished dressing up and went down stairs ready for work.

The family of three was already seated taking breakfast,when Henrietta came down Jeremy invited her to sit down but she declined the offer immediately,Thomson and Ritah insisted,she was privileged to join them.They all took breakfast in silence,once they were done Jeremy stood up and told Henrietta he was to drop her.

Before boarding the luxurious car,Jeremy stood still looking at Henrietta.

"Why are you staring at me?"

"You have not given me my morning kiss."

"I don't remember talking about ,morning kiss.We will be late let us go,more so we are not a lone."

"So if we were a lone you could have given me a passionate kiss?"

"Where is that coming from,I dont want to kiss you."

"Henrietta,if you repeat that a again I will do it right here right now.So take back your words."

"Okey,you win,can we go now.?"

They finally arrived at the office,Henrietta realized people were greeting Jeremy while looking at her weirdly,she ignored them,they used a private lift which was only used by Thomson and Jeremy,the lift led to their own offices directly.In the office Jeremy called Mr Enoch to his office and instructed him to show Henrietta all that was needed to work swiftly.Henrietta left with Enock.In the office after showing her few things,Enock gave her some paperwork to do of which Henrietta did diligently.Once she was done the work was to be printed and later sent to the Ceo's office for signing.

She was told to give the file to the messenger to take for signing,before putting across her request the messenger sent her for a cup of coffee,as she was going to collect the coffee,she heard people,gossiping about her and it's like they were doing it deliberately for her to hear.

"Some women are very shameless,they climb into the Ceo,s bed to be given positions they don't deserve.

Another person chipped in.

"I heard she just spoke few words in a meeting while serving tea and pap! she is now the assistant financial manager."They continued saying nasty things about her but she ignored them.She brought the coffee back but as she was handing it over to the messenger,one of the staffs passed by and kicked the coffee which spilled all over her suit.Henrietta was so angry and she automatically knew they were bullying her.What they didn't know someone had witnessed the scene.

"Whose coffee were you carrying?"

Jeremy asked.

"It's for the messenger."

"So your work now is to serve messengers?"

"No sir he requested for it."

"Mr Enock is this the orientation you were giving her?before I return to my office,all of you in this office you are fired.

Sozzy inform Junita to take over from Enock,Henrietta follow me."

Once they were in the office Jeremy told Henrietta not to let anyone bully her again.He gave her snacks which Sozzy had brought along.As she was still eating Jeremy stood up and asked her." How are the snacks?"

"Delicious." Henrietta answered truthfully.Jeremy moved closer to her tilted his head,kissed her softly at first and with increased tensity Henrietta wrapped her hands around his neck to support her self in a dizzy swaying world.His insistent mouth was parting her shaking lips,sending wild tremors along her nerves evoking from her sensations she had never know she possessed,after several minutes she came to a realization she was kissing him back.Shyly she got out of his embrace.
