Dirty Affairs

CHAPTER 34 You Are Still Plotting Against Him?

After Cynthia was done making sure Ace's office was kept in place, she locked his office and dropped the office key with the receptionist after she was told Ace had gone out with Isabella.

Just as she was about to go home, she saw Ace drive into the compound. She watched him as he drove and parked inside the garage as he walked towards her. While he approached her, she looked around him but couldn't find Isabella.

'I thought he went out with Isabella?' she said inwardly to herself as she imagined that Ace must have told Isabella to carry out another task on her own without him being present.

"I was about to go home, sir. The key is with the receptionist." Said Cynthia and Ace nodded.

"Bye sir." She said and was about walking away when Ace stopped her.

"Wait..." he said and she stopped walking and turned towards him to hear him out.

"I want you to get yourself an assistant manager."Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"Assistant manager?" Cynthia asked in curiosity, feeling insecure. Ace, requesting her to get an assistant manager looked like a threat to her job.

Probably he wants to stop her from working for him soon.

The thought of it made her feel so bad.

"Sir... but why?" She asked.

"Soon, you will be handling bigger responsibilities here and I want you to have an assistant so it will be less stressful. And yes, the salary is not the problem. I will pay..." He said.

His response released Cynthia a bit.

"Ok sir. I have someone who might be interested. She is a very good person and I'm sure you can trust her." Cynthia said.

"If she steals from me, you are dead." He said as he walked into the building.

Cynthia knew that his reply meant that he had agreed to accept the person she recommended to him.

"She doesn't steal sir. You will like her." She said as her voice echoed to his hearing before she finally walked out, heading outside the premises to get a cab that would take her to the hospital where her friend was admitted.

She decided not to drive on this very day. Her reason for taking a cab was best known to her.

A few hours later, Cynthia arrived at the hospital as she walked in. She got in front of the building for some minutes, raised both her hands upwards as she stretched her body.

She missed her friend already and she was eager to see her friend.

Without wasting much time, she finally walked into the hospital and found her way into the presidential hospital room where Sophia was kept.

Inside the room...

The moment Cynthia pushed the door open, what she saw brought out some tears of joy from her eyes.

She saw her best friend Sophia feeding herself.

"The sight of it made her so happy that she immediately ran towards Sophia. She got to her and gave her a hug filled with love and compassion.

"Sister." Cynthia called.

"I missed you." Sophia replied as she returned the hug back to Cynthia.

After they have hugged for sometime, Cynthia thought of talking to her friend privately.

"Please excuse us." She said to the Nurse who sat beside Sophia and the nurse nodded.

"Sure!" The nurse replied as she walked out of the room leaving the both girls to have their privacy.

Cynthia, seeing that the nurse was out, she excitedly jumped towards Sophia and sat beside her.

She thought of asking Sophia what really happened at the club that very night but she decided not to. It was too early to remind her of that incident so she decided to talk about something else instead.

"I have good news." Said Cynthia as she smiled and caressed Sophia's arm.

"Good news?" Sophia asked in awe as she continued to scope the food into her mouth.

"Tell me the good news then." Sophia said again.

"My boss wants me to get an assistant manager. You know I once told you I work as his manager right?" She asked and Sophia nodded.

"Yes sis you told me."

"He wants the person to work as my assistant and you are that person. Sister, I want you to accept the offer. At least, in that way, it will be so easy to execute our plan." Cynthia said, smiling.

Sophia, hearing Cynthia's statement was surprised and couldn't still believe Cynthia was still plotting evil against her boss.

"Execute our plan? Don't tell me you are still on this?" Sophia asked.

"Yes! That man is evil. He looks charming and very handsome but his heart is like the heart of the Devil. He does not deserve anything good." Said Cynthia.

"Why not allow him be?" Sophia asked.

"I hate it when people do evil. He has no heart. Please, I want you to accept this job offer. This is the only way of getting you into his office. Please sister... please." Cynthia begged as she looked Sophia at the face.

Sophia, remembering all Cynthia had done for her so far, was helpless. It was true that Sophia never wanted to get involved in plotting evil against Cynthia's boss but now that she was in a tight corner, she had to accept.

Even though Sophia had met Ace, she never knew he was Cynthia's boss. She was clueless about who Sophia's boss was.

"Are you sure about this? How evil can he be to deserve this?" Sophia asked, gazing at Cynthia to hear her response.

"I can't describe how evil he is but trust me! He is a devil. A beast. Wait! Let me show you his photo." Cynthia said as she searched through her phone to see if she could find his photo but it was unfortunate that she had deleted it after that very day he punished her for breaking his rules.

"I can't find it anymore. Maybe I will get it from someone" Cynthia said.

"No, sis. You don't need to. It's fine." Sophia said.

If Cynthia had shown Sophia a photo of Ace, at least, that would have given her a better opportunity to see who Cynthia's boss was.

"Thank you my sister." Cynthia appreciated.

"Why are you thanking me? I haven't accepted yet and how are you so sure I will?" Sophia mocked.

"Not my business." Cynthia replied as the girls laughed.

While they laughed, Cynthia took the spoon from Sophia as she joined her to enjoy the meal.

Once they were done, they waited for the doctor's arrival so he could discharge them to go back home.
