VINCE SECRETARY HID HER FEELINGS

Going to her desk, feeling the hot tears flowing, 'When did he get married, and I heard nothing.I know he was liming that stupid fool that always visiting and demanding to see him and talking as though she is better than anyone.

All this time I keep thinking it was a fling and she wasn't his type, so what happened so suddenly that he had gotten married? Is she pregnant? and no one in the office knows about it, neither was anyone in the office who received an invitation to his wedding. Was it a secret wedding?"

Closing her eyes as she sits down, "Oh God if that woman is his wife I might have to start looking for another job. She might want to come in here and control the whole office and make all our lives a living hell.

I should have known my ambition was flying way over my head and out of my reach. But thank God no one knows how I felt for him and it must remain hidden. I tried to make a good impression, but if he is married that means all my plans and effort to attract his attention went unnoticed, now I will just have to wait and see who is the lucky woman?

I know he won't just marry any fly-by-night passerby, she will have to be well loaded to join that haughty family, because the only person he listens to is that old geezer who is never pleased with anyone or anything.

Boy, I should have known I was wasting my time, he never looked at me twice when he comes to the office. Well, it is good in a way because I can't begin to imagine how one could live in a house with him glaring at them all the time?' Noticing one of the staff coming to go to the staff room Gloria wipe her face and smiled.

Hearing Mr. Elvis ask, "Miss Gloria are you unwell?"

"I find sir."

"How many times have I told you to call me Elvis?"

"Sorry Sir but in the office, we were asked to address everyone as Sir or Madam."

"Okay, but I am giving you the permission to call me Elvis."

"Thanks, Sir, but I have already seen and heard two staff members calling you by your first name, I don't want to get in trouble if the boss hears."

"Who will tell him or do you have a crush on him?"

"Excuse me Sir but that is none of your business, but for your information, he is a married man and I don't want to be a home-breaker."

Seeing the shock on his face Gloria knew that his marriage was a secret. Hearing him asks, "And how did you know that? this is the first I am hearing of it?"

"Sir, it wasn't a message to deliver, so please do as if I never mention it."

Seeing him rest both hands on her desk and he keeps looking at her, "If what you are saying is true why is it no one in the office had gotten an invitation? and how long ago did he get married?"

"Why don't you go and ask him, he is in the office?"

Seeing him look in the direction of his office then he went about his business. Gloria knows he is such a womanizer and was best to stay clear of him.

Standing on the sidewalk, Sidney notices this elderly lady waiting to cross, going to her immediately, "Aunty, come along," holding her hand assisting her across, seeing all the passersby and not one person reaches out to assist her.

Sidney had only left her side when an elderly gentleman said, as she was about to return across, "Child, can you help me across please?"

"Uncle, where do you need help to go?"

"Child, my eyes are not so good and I need to reach the courthouse."

"That's okay Uncle, I am going the same direction," holding his hand. Sidney helps him across and then guides him along. Listening to him talking as we go, twice he stumbled but her support on his hand had saved him from falling.

Reaching the courthouse Sidney said, "You have done well; Uncle, we are here already."

"Thank, you child," resting his hand on her head, "God richly bless you with wisdom and understanding to make the right choices and decisions, may He keep you safe always for having a caring and loving heart."

"Thank you, Uncle, for that wonderful blessing."

Approaching the building, thinking about visiting Vince's office, standing there with two minds, in between decisions when this gentleman about fifty came and stood next to her and asks, "Ma'am, I was wondering which of the building the Montgomery office is situated?"

"You are standing right in front of it Sir, how about I escort you to Mr. Montgomery's office personally."

"You know the gentleman, my dear?"

"Not exactly, but I know where his office is located. Do you have business with Mr. Montgomery, Sir?"

"You could say that."

"Okay, I hope you see him, he is very busy sometimes," Getting on the elevator and going to the fourth floor. Reaching to the door to get inside, "Here we are right at his door."

Reading his name, when she was going to leave he said, "Won't you join us for a cup of tea?"

"It sounds wonderful, but I don't want to interrupt your business."

"Please, you won't be, I can assure you of that and you might be intrigued with the business proposition yourself."

"Okay, but just a cup of tea, my hands are tied these days when it comes to cash, but it won't hurt to listen."

Standing by his door and knocking, "Excuse me, Ma'am, you will have to wait the Boss is expecting a client anytime now."

Sidney looks at her seeing the skimpy outfit she was wearing, the top was barely coving the waistline if she raise her hand her body will be exposed. And the skirt was fitted and right above the knee but the slit was exposing her left leg.

Closing her eyes becoming angry with herself for always thinking that young women will dress descent and appropriate, 'but they are always throwing themselves as flies to the honey, then they claim that they are raped or being sexually molested.'
