Chapter 21 - Office Life

Kenzo looked sharp as he looked at the mirror once again. His wife looked happy and took lots of photos of him and them together. Her wife's office was near Caleb's office, so he followed her car and since it's quite a traffic a few ways, but still, he managed to watch her car enter their company building and so he drove toward Caleb's office which was ten blocks from her office.

When he reached the building, he parked inside first and filled up a few things. He mentioned Caleb's name and the guards let him in. Caleb was just in the parking lot.

"Hey, bro!" He waved as he locked his car. "Wow, nice ride!" Caleb approached him and checked his scooter. "This is the latest one… cost so much."

"Well, Victoria insisted."

"It's good that your woman was treating you so well."

"She's not just my woman, but my wife." He corrected him as he puffed some air. He put his helmet on the compartment as he followed Caleb inside with his files. Caleb made an exemption toward him although he only finished high school and didn't go through college. The guy knew well how Kenzo was capable of. And sender wasn't the only thing that he could do.

They went to Caleb's office floor that he rented in this expensive city of Lwazi. The City of Lwazi was known for Global and big businesses built up. It's also the city that has the most prestigious university in the whole content of the Great Greivania. It's hard to live in such a city if you aren't rich. In the reception area, they were greeted by the security and they also ran the security process to Caleb and Kenzo. Caleb noticed that some already had twisted their necks as they looked toward Kenzo who was timid and very down to earth.

They entered the elevator as Caleb cleared his throat.

"I couldn't believe that girls already noticed you." Caleb chuckled. Kenzo never thought about it.

"I'm married." He raised his finger.

"Okay, you don't have to flaunt that one!" Caleb waved it off. Kenzo noticed a button with a trademark that looked so familiar. He moved his face closer to it and he wasn't wrong at all. It's an emblem of the Royal Family of this country. The shape was a circle. It is filled with blue color and in the very middle are two griffins facing each other.

"That's Etrama Imprasa." Caleb told. "The seal of Etrama Family."

"You mean, this building is Etrama's property?" I asked him.

"Yes." He smiled. "It's hard to rent such a place, but I made it. Yet I only have ten years here. Then, I have to renew it again. I just hope that I will stay here."

"I think you will," Kenzo said.

"You sound so sure." Caleb grinned.

"Well, you are a hard-working man. You deserve something good."

"Well, bro. Help me expand and I'll let you and Maverick handle one branch."

Kenzo smiled at him. The elevator slid open and they went directly to Caleb's office. He showed him the confidential files that had the seal of Caleb's company logo.

"These files are very important for few deals."

"As long as it isn't illegal," Kenzo told him. Caleb chuckled.

"Bro, I never wanted to go through illegal things. Besides, it's bad for business. Anyway, how would you know if I was being a fraud?"

"I'll run background through it for you."

"You are my secret spy now, Kenz."

A woman knocked on the glass door and it opened. He nodded at her and the woman smiled at Kenzo.

"Hello, Mr. Kenzo Estrama. I'll show you to your table and your team. You'll be handling a few documents and all."

"Yes, ma'am." Kenzo stood. Caleb hid the confidential files before the woman even noticed them. The HR manager was too busy admiring Kenzo's portrait. That she even raised her chin to show how confident and beautiful she is. She's indeed beautiful but Kenzo's wife was more beautiful in his eyes. Caleb noticed how Kenzo stayed casual and professional.

They watched them leave and he leaned on his chair. If Kenzo graduated from a business school, he would hire him to be his business partner. However, there are things that Kenzo needs to learn first. But, slowly, he'll teach him and the guy also mentioned that his wife had business books and he told him what he read and what he knew.

<><><><>

Kenzo's brain was working well as they explained to him what to do. It's his first day and he's still in training. The documents that he needed to handle were easy to also input into the computer. Although he's not that familiar with the home keys of a computer keyboard, he knew few controls and how to use a few software. Next time, he'll enroll in some software to understand it more.

"Mostly, we deliver a few documents to other warehouses. The company has cars that would be lent to us." The manager of the team explained to him. He nodded at him. "We'll have a meeting soon. Why won't you buy us some coffee?" he pulled out bills from his pocket. "The cafe is just on the other side of the road."

"I like French Vanilla." The man named Ger with brown hair said.

"Mine is Cappuccino." The young man named Bernie also added while he's typing on his computer.

"And mine is black espresso. Buy your drink too." He patted him as he gave the cash to him. "Boys, let's get ready for the files, shall we."

He didn't complain or said anything as he left the office. He also had his temporary ID and he used the access to go down to the ground floor. He stared at the button that was only supposed for the owner of the building. His phone chimed as he pulled it out from his phone. He pressed his thumb as it unlocked. Then, he smiled at his wife's messages.

Wifey: How's the first day?

Wifey: Is it good?

Wifey: Did they treat you well?"

Hubs: Yes, everything is fine. It's too early, love.

Wifey: I like it when you call me love.

Hubs: We'll have a meeting and I need to buy coffee for the team.

Wifey: Go for it, baby.

The elevator door opened. He stepped out with others as he walked outside the building. He stood beside the post and waited for the green light on the pedestrian to light. After a few seconds, the green light turned. He stepped forward and walked to the other side. He found the cafe that they are talking about. He entered and lined up to wait for his turn. He ordered the drinks that they wanted and he also ordered the drink that he wanted. The bill that his boss gave was short of five hundred so, he searched in his pocket and found five thousand bills. He exhaled. His wife did this. He paid for the rest and sat on the table close to the window.

He tapped his phone to call her. She answered after a few rings.

"Hey, you miss me too soon?" She teased.

"I do miss you. Love, did you put money on my jeans pocket?"

"Yeah, it's your allowance."

"Hey, I told you. I'll provide for us."

"Don't worry about it. For now, I have to provide for us first."

"Jaya, you are stubborn. I'll treat you well when we get home."

She giggled from the other line.

"I'll send you the good stuff."

"What good stuff?" Kenzo grinned as he thought of the sex positions that they need to do for their lovemaking.

"I'll surprise you later. I have to go. We need to leave the office for some outside meeting stuff."

"Okay, bye, love."

"Bye, Ken-Ken." She said sweetly and hung up.

"Drinks for Kenz." The barista called. He stood and claimed his drinks. He stopped when someone blocked his way. He looked straight to the familiar man who smiled at him lopsidedly.

"Aren't you the man who cheated on me with my ex-fiancee?" He asked.

"Oh, aren't you the man who cheated his ex-fiancee with her sister?" He asked back.

"Oh, you can talk." He said sarcastically. "How's Victoria? Is she providing you lots of things, so you could please her?"

"Victoria is now my wife. Please, watch your mouth and don't speak ill about my wife in front of me." Kenzo said coldly as he walked past him. That probably leaves Jason flushed from his words.

Jason's security followed him and grabbed his arms. He balanced the drinks on his hand for it not to spill and he froze.

"Did you just turn your back from me?" Jason walked around to his front. "Do you know that because of you, Victoria will lose her position in her family? Everyone despises her for cheating."

"We knew well who the cheater was. Victoria married me after you cheated on her. She doesn't deserve you."

Jason raised his hand to punch him or slap him.
