8:48am

Alex entered the company with a box for preserving food in his hand, his phone rang, he quickly dips his hand into his pocket,

"hello Emanuel what now, Alex asked.

"Good morning boss, my family and I are in the restaurant waiting, said Emanuel.

"ok I'll be right there, said Alex, the call dropped he tries to run back but he realized the box he was caring, looking around as he turned and stopped, looking at Chief commander John and Paul, they where both staring at him as well, he commander with his hand as chief commander John pointed at himself, looking at Alex and Paul with confusion.

"CEO should I come? He asked with a loud voice. Alex nodded, commander John ran to him with so much happiness. Alex handed the box of food over to him, leaving without saying a word to him. Chief commander John raised the box up,

"my lord, I mean CEO what should I do with the box? He asked with Alex dashing out of the company, chief commander John turns back. "why would he hand this over to me without saying a word, chief commander John asked himself.

"what's in there? Paul asked,

"he didn't tell, he just dropped it in my palm, said Chief commander John.

"I see, said Paul touching the box, immediately chief commander John takes Paul's hand off, "ouch, that's it, I was just trying to help you open it" Paul looking at Chief commander John straight in the eyes.

"don't look at me with those eyes, he didn't tell me to open it, said Chief commander John dropping the box beside them.

"hey! What do you all think you are doing, get up we have an event coming up to night, said Chide, "wait..(he stopped Ola), where is Sofia, he asked.

"Sofia, she was sent by manager Francis, to pick a fashion model, what is that her name again.. there is some thing he called her, but I've forgotten, said Ola walking away.

As a taxi packed in front of the company, Sofia came out, opening the booth, she carried six heave cart, she carefully closed the booth, only for Anita to come out of the taxi ordering her to stop, as the taxi drove off she came closer to Sofia.

Paul and chief commander John's eyes were focused on the box,

"I'm really hungry, said Paul, "let's take our eyes off it, the more we look the more our mouth gets watery" Chief commander John told Paul swallowing his saliva, pushing the box aside with his foot. After a minutes rest, both characters still looking at each other,

"but I wonder what's inside, said Chief commander John.

"carry this for me" Anita told Sofia letting go of her hand bag, Sofia didn't bother stretching her hand out for it as it fell on the ground, Anita in an aggressive manner slaps Sofia on both cheek, Sofia was about to attack her, but she held back eyeing Anita, Sofia went straight inside without replying to every single word Anita said.

"hmm this noodles is delicious, and well packaged" in a hasty Paul tore the drumstick apart with his teeth, and putting a full spoon of noodle into his mouth.

"If I knew he actually dropped this for both of us, I wouldn't have wasted time in opening it, is just that.. this is too.. too small for me, he should have brought three plates instead of two, said Commander John.

"hmm, oh my goodness this is very.. oh, our CEO is too kind, he made sure it came out spicy, said Paul dealing with the drumstick.

"I wish every day should be like this, said Chief commander John seeing Sofia approaching.

"hello Sofia, said Chief commander John with bear hair close to his lips. Sofia waved with smile on her face, walking ahead.

"come back here you foolish thing, what makes you bold enough to walk away on me.. do you know who I am, don't your initiative tell you the importance of me to this company, come back here, I lifted this company infect I made this company what it is today, you dear me Sofia". "What's that crazy lady saying? Paul asked looking at Anita, Chief commander John tapped him on the shoulder, "my dear, let her be, lets finish this while it's still hot". "Sofia or what ever your name is, get back here, ash, Anita was frustrated, as she pounds into the company with power.

"you fool, come back here, I'm talking to you, Sofia get back here, Sofia! Sofia!! (Sofia went into the elevator as it closed, people looked at Anita seeing the way she was barking Sofia's name), Sofia!!!, she screamed, Anita bits her self in anger 

"who does she think she is, to disgrace me like this, Anita said in her mind smiling at everyone leaving.

"why does it look like I've seen this kind of action before, said Paul seated beside commander John closely, 

"yes of cause you have" suddenly both characters jumped out of fear, the empty pack of noodles fell from their hand turning back, "Chide", they both shouted), 

"yes, it happened to me, said Chide who began to cry without tears dropping.

"It's ok stop crying, mama is here for you, said Paul, calming him down, all of a sudden he stopped crying.

"how about some bear hair, said Commander John giving away the half remained beer to Chide.

"Thanks a lot, chief commander John, said Chide, he collects it sipping out the alcohol.

"Paul, Chide called sniffing in.

"Yes what is it, Chide, I'm listening, said Paul.

"Paul, I never knew you got chest, until today, said Chide, 

"oh really do I've chest, said Paul, smiling.

"No, No, no this is not happening, commander John thought, showing Paul signs to cut it but Paul couldn't understand him, 

"come on cut it already, commander John whispered, Chide head it turning his face towards commander John.

Commander John quickly pretended looking up, and side eye on him, Chide slowly smiled, trying to give commander John, a warning as he grabbed Paul's balls tight, 

"oh my living hood, ahhh!! Paul screamed running off, as Chide went after him, 

"come back love, darling, darling don't let go yet, you haven't finished caring for me, baby!, come on you got to grab me tight, he shouted jumping, but his ball is huge, Chide thought giving a crazy laughter, "my sugar liquor, come to papa, I love you,, said Chide going after him.

"What a stupid boy, said Commander John focusing on his job, looking at the small drumstick felt in his hand, he began mourning, while Paul ran out of the company, as Chide follows, "we are in this, together... Chide shouted.

Anita angrily walked into the secretary office, "Sofia, how dear you ignore me, and made a hell show of me, out there, said Anita, pointing with her finger, out side the room.

"who the hell do you think you are, I left you, because I don't want to disgrace you or embarrass you, so you should sort your self, because I'm fully ready for your child play, said Sofia, looking at Anita, eye to eye, immediately Anita raised her hand to slap Sofia. Sofia held her hand returning the two slap she received before.

Anita was shucked, immediately she grabbed Sofia's hair pulling it, and Sofia did the same.

"You slave of a company, I'll deal with you, said Anita.

"You used up bitch, what can you do, Sofia replied, (attack cry).

"Oh my goodness, you called me a used up bitch?, said Anita (fighting grunts).

"Yes I just did, do you want to hear more, Sofia asked.

(Fighting grunts), "ahh, you crazy lady, let go of my hair, said Anita, still pulling Sofia's hair, 

"oh you think I will let go of this, when you are not done, then you must be joking, said Sofia, grabbing Anita's hair with so much anger.

Alex walked into the company heading for the elevator, 

"CEO.. sir, Chief commander John called with Paul following along, Alex turned.

"sir thank you for the noodles, we really enjoyed it, (both characters looked at each other, happily nodding), and the drum stick, and the drum stick, we'll keep it a secret, you are the best, said Commander John, both partners moving their body like a tree been blown by wind. Alex said nothing, he stood watching the two hilarious monkeys almost crying,

"what did you just say? Alex asked. Paul was confused but still smiling, he came closer to Alex,

"sir I know you didn't what anyone to hear of it, that why sneakily gave it Chief commander John with saying a word, but don't worry we will keep your secret.. (Alex blinked his eyes shocked) that's it, said Paul nodding his head and chief commander John doing the same.

"what secret?(Alex eyes slowly compressed, looking at Paul smiling hideously), is he taking about? Alex questioned himself, feeling unsecured.

"CEO, you should have told us earlier, that love you have for…. Immediately Alex closed Chief commander John's mouth, pulling his collar, giggling and smiling at the people who where passing by.

"you are to kind, to kind, said Alex with his teeth closed together, he whispered; No one must hear this from your mouth, do you hear me? Alex asked with the coconut clowns nodding their head continuously, "good, don't worry I 'll be bringing noodles you two every Monday, said Alex adjusting John's collar, he cleared his throat turning to walk away.

"but sir, if you don't mind, can we have it every work days, said Chief commander John who smiled at Paul, "that's a good idea" Paul whispered giving a thumb up. immediately Alex gave them a side look blinking his eyes continuously, commander John was melting, as for Paul, he smiled evilly which scared Alex,

"ok fine, said Alex walking away, immediately the two partners knocked their body together, rejoicing in harmony.

Alex happily walked in, only for him to see Sofia and Anita acting action movie right in front of his office, Alex was about to relax his body on the wall to watch some movies, but he remember, it was his own Sofia that was fighting Anita, he quickly rushed separating them.

"hey!! stop this act, my father can be here at any minute, said Alex holding the wrestlers away from each other.

"Anita that's enough just leave, Alex requested, Anita who just picked her pause from the desk, looked at Alex.

"I can't believe you, Alex are you now throwing me away, you are protecting this lady over me, said Anita, trying to hit Sofia with her pause.

"Yes I'll protect her, (Alex spoke with authority), she is my Secretary, apart from her, no one suits to fit in, so just leave, said Alex, standing in between them, Anita dressed her hair. Coming closer to Alex, she began romancing his lips, Alex hits her hand away,

"She is not your type, I know what is good for you, "ash!, just take a look at my hair, for Christ sake.. Sofia interrupted Anita's speech.

"Just short the crap, and get your ass of this room, said Sofia, "it seems I've been too nice, to people like you this days, it makes me sick. Said Sofia.

"Enough Sofia, Alex whispered looking at Sofia with a side eye.

"Good, you guys should just keep on playing, it's not over yet, until I get what I want, said Anita leaving, as she slammed the door behind them. 

"what are you all looking at, Anita asked the watching monkeys, 

"we are sorry ma, they all said, Anita eyed the walking away, they all stood in horizontal line watching her.

"she just came back and she's already confronting our Sofia, what a witch, said Benita.

"I wonder if the CEO and her are still in that relationship of a thing, said Mr. Michael, immediately Isabel began, she stated by giggling,

"thank God you asked, I didn't what to say it but… thank you asked, (as they all come closer), she and the CEO are not in any blood mixed relationship, they had separated along time ago, do you want to know the reason why, (she looked at all of them), do you?( they all nodded), she slept with one of the night watch, when she lived with him for three weeks… 

"no.. Isabel this is not what we are asking for, we asked for the true story, said Ola.

"what! you all don't believe me, (they all nodded), ok let me pour it down in details for you, (she began as it played like movie in their minds), one night in the dark half moon, the stars were around, eye dropping on secret move made by the hidden, she got up from her bed, after checking if the CEO was asleep, she gently placed her legs on the floor, suspiciously getting up from her bed, not knowing that the eyes were smiling at her, she walked down stirs like the ghost in the land of the dead, before her was the door to her desires, most cherished thing in her life, but It won't be easy for her to get, then she made a decision which, a great cause can before her, but she approached it with courage, in the dark her eyes were like that of a bat, and the stars smiled at her, with the moon playing it silent music's into her ears, she grabbed that, (Isabel looked at Ola's pant) which gave her goosebumps, that feeling she had been looking for, for the pass three weeks, and then she made a deal with it, he granted her, her wish by taking her in, there she laid with him, but she broke the silence of the night, the moon was angry, because she changed his music, the stars.. she gave her an evil smile, screaming on top of her voice, louder and louder, there she went dipper, and enjoying the moment, but the dark felt pity for her, because the light was already approaching with it's little lamb of authority, in pounding suspiciously, the door slammed open, there and behold fishless bone was exposed of from her skin, so that's how it happened, said Isabel smiling.

"Wow that was a great movie play you got there Isabel, but how did you find all that, Mr. Michael asked.

"well it was very simple, I have a friend who work there as a night watcher, so he was lucky to watch that building with the others, said Isabel.

"Sofia are you alright? Alex asked, dressing Sofia's hair, Sofia looked worried, but Alex slowly smiled looking at her face, as he was about to kiss her the door slammed open, he began to cough, (shock attack), "oh my chest, Alex bent away from Sofia robbing his chest.

"excuse me Sir, are you alright? Isabel asked, "yes sure I'm fine, Alex answered, turning to his office. Isabel quickly pulled Sofia, "oh Isabel, must you have to pull me all the time, said Sofia following, Isabel let go off Sofia's hand.

"I'm so sorry, but you got to see this, like right now, I mean just follow me, Isabel speech was filled with excitement, as she pulls Sofia's hand again hurrying out, Sofia just follows her any where she goes.

(Deep breath and exhaled), "that was close, oh my, (Alex places his chin on his palm), "mm, but I really missed that moment, the way she kissed me the last time, it was like I was flying into the air, in a land filled with honey , Alex kept on thinking with a huge smile on his face bending and raising his head.

As the door slammed open, Alex quickly pretended he was typing, as he looked up only to see Oliver, standing right in front of him, like a loser, with some dry leaves on his body.

"Oh clowns of the galaxy, what in the world happened to you, said Alex getting up from his sit.

"first of all can I sit down, Oliver requested almost sitting, Alex quickly held he.

"Oh no boy, this is my office, you look like someone in a movie, who just came out.. Alex looking at Oliver's stinky feet "from the land of trash, huh you need some shower, said Alex pulling him.

"wait I got to relax, said Oliver.

"No you have to wash up, said Alex.

"No Alex that won't do, I also need to eat.. you see my nature is empty and that beat of its music tells me, it's hungry to eat anything, said Oliver, looking at a shelf filled with books and was about to sit, Alex quickly grabbed him up, pulling him along.

"excuse me, what are we doing, standing in front of a book shelf, (Alex moved a document, pressing a small button on the wood), I thought you were taking me to a place, where I will relax my bones, not a book shelf, you know what I will rather sit on that chair, said Oliver turning back, as Alex pulled him in, "you", he screamed. As Alex let go of him, "you, (he turned) you are mea… hmm,(Oliver's expression changed), wow is this a bathroom, it's looks like a semi room, I'm going to live here for ever, you know what bring the food in here, said Oliver happily pulling off his cloth and going into the bathtub.

Alex turned to leave, "wait I forgot, there is a taxi driver waiting outside your door, please pay him off, thank you, said Oliver resting deep into the water, (as water bubbles).

"why didn't Sofia call me first? Alex asked himself. Alex opened his door, immediately seeing a man, all covered with dry leaves, complete black face, he gave Alex a huge smile, all white teeth shining, he face expression chased Alex back into his office, "oh my goodness what was that, for a minute did they run mad? Alex said, counting some huge amount of money, he opened the door a little, stretching his hand out, as the man collected it.
