The Billionaire’s Pretty Thief

Crystal drew her friend from him and Georgia breathing in, could not understand what had just happened.

Uncle Max apologized to her for that and he left them both to enjoy their day.

” What just happened Crystal?”, Georgia asked in a confused state as she could not explain why Max had done such a thing.

Crystal let her friend sit on her bed apologizing on her uncle’s behalf and reassuring Georgia that it was just out of emotions.

Georgia did not make a fuss about it so she let it sly but what had just taken place was not too clear to her.

Crystal proposed that they go shopping later in the day and Georgia was so happy with the idea that she could not wait for them both to leave.

Blaze was already awake so early as it was a Monday and he had to get to his office.

His company always had executive meetings every Monday and Friday which were to discuss the strategies on how to manufacture more products, sell them to their customers, and the profits made.

Also, there were other things discussed during meetings like that which is to make the company for more.

His breakfast was always set every work morning even before he could come downstairs to ask for it as his maids took seriously into consideration his do’s and don’ts for it and his maids took seriously into consideration the things that made him pleased and the ones that irritated him.

He arrived downstairs and his warden took his briefcase to his car while Blaze looking at the well-set table, had an appetite that morning.

His eggs were made just like he always loved them and his cup of tea and sliced bread were finely placed so he took his breakfast and left for work.

He entered his car and headed to his office without stopping on the way for anything whatsoever.

The security guards already knew when he was to arrive at work every morning so they waited for him to arrive so that they could get his car and station it well in the parking lodge.

“Good morning Mr. Blaze and happy to see you today”, the guard said as he dropped down from his car handing him his car keys.

” How are you today Fred”, Blaze asked as he took his briefcase out of the car.

Blaze went in through the normal procedure everyone entering the building goes through, meaning he was scanned and his briefcase as well.

After that, he walked through the reception receiving greetings from all the personnel there while going to board the lifter going to his office floor.

The day had begun pretty well as his office was well cleaned when he got into it and the freshener that was put there smelled good.

His office was made of expensive pieces of furniture brought from abroad and his office was spacious so much that the other part could be used for another office plus a bathroom.

His shelf was well arranged with business books and magazines.

At the corner of the office, there was a sofa made for visitors or business partners waiting their turn to talk with Blaze as there was a table too in front of the sofa with magazines.

In front of his main table were two chairs facing him directly. The air condition in his office was harsh and cold and most clients who went in there always came out white as snow.

The other section was an additional part that served as a resting room whenever he worked overnight at the office as it has a bathroom and all apparatus

apparatus.

The curtains in his room were so bright that he used them to shed the sun from entering so much into his office.

Knocks at his office door and Blaze looks from his glass mirror to see who it is knocking on,

“Come on in”, he spoke looking through the documents on his glass table.

Mary walked in with a smile on her lips.

Mary is Blazes Personal Assistant she has been working with his company for such a long time.

It was no news that Blawas was a rich man with a lot of enterprises but amongst all, l Hillary was the best as she was efficient, smart, intelligent, and friendly.

She came out with flying colors in her badge while she was in school and she has always done her work diligently and has never forgotten an agenda or deadline for any deal.

She was highly recommended by Germany as she had worked for many foreign companies and her language skills were top-notch.

” Good morning Mr. Blaze Jadiel”, she recited her normal morning rhythm as it had become a routine.

Rolling up his eyes, Blaze looked at Mary and responded,

“Good morning Mary, how are you today?”, he asked as though she was not feeling well fixing his stare on her.

Mary bowed her head in shame as she blblushedher boss’s gaze, she responded,

” I am fine Mr. Blaze” ” she said using her eyes to count her toes as her head could not go up again because she was uneasy.

Blaze asked her why she was in his office and if she needed anything.

“The meeting with the members of Fresh Tea starts in three minutes Sir and everyone else is in the meeting room waiting for you before they can start”, she said looking at the agenda that she was holding.

Blaze knew he had a meeting that morning as every Monday, they had executive meetings either with their investors or just with the board members within the company.

” Thank you Mary I will be there in a minute”, Blaze told his assistant with a mild smile on his lips.

“Also, the meeting with “Mika’s Wine”, had been postponed till further notice as their manager is not feeling too well.

Blaze heard her keenly as she read out his agenda for the day, and when she was done she excused herself and left for her office while he prepared the necessary documents for his board meeting with his board of directors.

Crystal was still at home with her friend as they waited for Gina to make breakfast so that they could eat before leaving for the supermarket.

Georgia asked her friend if she was now ready to tell her what the issue was that made her cry so bitterly yesterday.

Crustal who thought that her friend had forgotten about that ugly incident, was sorely mistaken as she was hell-bent on knowing what had happened.

Crystal who did not know what to tell Georgia got up and went into the bathroom.

Georgia who had noticed that her friend was avoiding the subject sighed like a pregnant woman, and stretching her body on the bed said,

” You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to Crystal. Well, I thought that we were good friends and that we could tell. each other everything”, she mumbled disappointedly by her friend’s attitude towards the matter.

Crystal stayed in the bathroom for some time feeling bad for not telling her friend the truth but again she had to choose as she knew full well that the kind of life Age was living, was not the best and it was full of lies telling and treachery.

Georgia waited some more for her friend to come out but she did not so she felt angry and said she was leaving.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Crystal on hearing this came out of the bathroom to stop her friend from leaving as she was the only person who understood her clearly.

“Please don’t like that my friend”, Crystal spoke from behind.

Georgia tried to restrain her outrage and pain against her friend as she tightened her fist and lowered the dish of fruits she was eating.

Crystal with a sad look walked to Georgia and with a soft voice, she asked her friend to sit down.

She was not ready to tell her friend the truth but she wanted to explain some things to her in an offer to calm her down.

” Georgia, you have been my friend for years now, and you know me well as a good person right?”, she said looking at her friend straight in the eyes as she always did with those men she always lured to their beds and made away with their money.

Crystal’s sole aim here was that she wanted to convince her friend so that she would not worry about her life again or ask questions.

Georgia asked her what she was trying to say with all this as she already knew all that but why was she beating around the bush?

“Crystal you are my friend and you have had my back right from our college days. You can tell me whatever it is that is bothering you dearly or is someone harassing you and you can not tell your uncle?”, She asked all these questions looking at her friend in a concerted manner.

Crystal having no words to respond to her and eventually searching through her head for something to say, took the fork and taking a strawberry from her dish, put it in her mouth chewing it slowly as though she had never eaten one before.

She turned to Georgia again and said,

” It is not as easy as you think my dear friend. I am going through a difficult moment now and I have always gone through it for a while now but I just have to keep on fighting”, Crystal mumbled.

Georgia could not understand anything it was that she was saying so she got up from the bed and decided to walk around remembering the past about the things she told her friend in confidence about her life and family though she knew full well that she was not supposed to.

“Nonetheless, if you see that I am not worthy to share your pain and suffering and talk more of your secrets as a friend, then I completely understand you” ” she said but from her tone, Crystal knew perfectly well that she was angry.
