Chapter 03
“Is there food in the house? I just quit my job” Noel removed her shoes and plopped down on the couch
“You quit or you were fired?” Scarlet faced her
“He fired me then I quit”
Scarlet laughed
“Are you for real? You can’t quit after getting fired Noel”
“My case is different so I quit” Noel was adamant
“Okay fine. What did you do this time?” Scarlet eyed her
“Nothing”
“Always nothing”
“I did nothing this time around. I only defended myself against a mean lady and he fired me”
“Seriously?” Scarlet rolled her eyes
“Yes. The lady said I was ¢razy. She called me a fool and said I was ugly. Look at me babe am I ugly?” Noel asked
“No you are not”
“You need to have seen how disheveled that lady was. Her face was all wrinkled and squeezed like an old lady. She was looking like someone who was brought out of a refuse dump and she dared called me ugly” Noel said
“Noel. I can see why you were fired. You gave her fire for fire”
“Yes. I can’t leave her just like that”
“It’s okay. We will find a better job for you. There’s food in the kitchen. Go serve yourself”
“Why can’t you serve me? I just quit my job”
“You’re such a lazy bones”
“I’m not. I have gist. I met Mr Gray today. Oh my gee he’s so cute. I really got a good view of him today” She blushed
“This guy you’re dying for doesn’t even like you. I’m sure he witnessed your ¢raziness today”
“Of course he did. He should know that his future wife doesn’t tolerate nonsense” She beat her chest proudly
“Future wife?”
“Yes Scarlet. Watch and see how I’m gonna make him mine”
“Good luck with that” Scarlet shifted her gaze back to the television
Noel stood up and made for the kitchen

“I can’t believe he fired her for what wasn’t her fault” Austin said after they had boarded the car and set for the company
“Hmm” Was his reply
“Should we help her?” Austin asked
Gray coughed
“Help who? That ¢razy lady? Do you want her to turn my office into a hall of shenanigans?”
“That’s not it. We could find a job that suits her kind of person. We’re in need of a cleaner for your office and the ones around it. She could do that”
“No. I won’t hire someone that’s gonna frustrate me. She is dmn annoying”
“But she’s cuter”
“What’s your problem Austin. If she’s cute then go marry her. Stop troubling me” Gray snapped
“Marry her? I won’t be the one to marry her. You will” Austin teased
“God forbid” Gray said immediately and Austin laughed
Soon he got a phone call that his parents were at his house and wants to see him.
Austin got down and boarded a cab to the company while the driver reversed and headed for his house
MENDING HIS BROKEN HEART : CHAPTER 1 – 10
GRAY’S HOUSE
They drove into the compound and he saw his parents car packed outside. He dropped down and ran to see them. They have been out of the country for months now and he didn’t know when they returned.
He opened his door and saw them on the couch. His mother, Jasmine stood up immediately she saw him and hugged him before kssing his forehead
“Welcome mum” He smiled
“Thank you my son. I missed you so much”
“I missed you too. Welcome dad” He bowed to his father
He was an arrogant guy but still has respect for his parents. They were the most important people to him now. Austin included
“My son is looking more dashing than ever” His father Mr Gerald said
“You haven’t changed a bit dad” Gray smiled and they shook hands
“I won’t change till your mother change”
“Here we go again” Jasmine laughed and sat down
She was a very beautiful woman with round eyes and plump lips. One could tell Gray took her face and her lips making him cute and handsome. The only difference in his face was that he took his father’s nose.
His father was a handsome man too but always teased his mother that she purposely gave him her face. On the other hand, Gray’s teenage brother was the exact replica of his father. His moods depended on his environment.
He is sometimes friendly and sometimes rude. He was a tsundere most times but when you talk of looks, this teenage guy was dreamy and cute.
“You didn’t tell me you were back” Gray said
“We wanted it to be a surprise” His mother said
“Yeah it was. How was your trip?”
“It was splendid. I had fun” His father replied
Mr Gerald was a very happy and active man unlike his son. You can’t blame him though
“Has the maid attended to you yet?” Gray asked
“No I asked her to hold on till you come” Jasmine smiled
“I’m here now. Let me go meet her to prepare your favorite meals” He said
“Lia!!” He called as he went up the stairs

THE NEXT DAY…
Scarlet had gone to work as usual and Noel was at home bored with nothing to do or trouble to look for. She took her bath and wore a pink top with black pants,packed her hair in a ponytail and stepped out for a while.
She kept walking and walked past the restaurant when Mr Osborn called her
“Why are you calling me huh? I’m no longer working here” Noel snapped
“Yes and I’m sorry about that. Please come back. I was wrong for blaming you” Mr Osborn said
“I am not coming back cause I quit” She wanted to leave but he drew her back
“Please I will double your monthly pay”
“I don’t care. Excusez moi” She glared at him and left
Are you wondering why he suddenly want her back?
After the incident where Noel quarreled with the lady and got fired,Mr Gray glared at Mr Osborn before leaving. Mr Osborn knew Gray wasn’t happy with his judgment and decided to get Noel back so he won’t be on Mr Gray’s blacklist but she has turned him down and he is confused on what to do now.
MENDING HIS BROKEN HEART : CHAPTER 1 – 10
Noel kept working and saw a vacany poster saying they were in need of a cook. It was a beautiful company that sells food products. The lunch lady at the cafeteria just quit her job and they were in need of a replacement.
Noel smiled and entered the company. She met with the manager
“Good morning ma. I saw the poster that says you guys needed a cook and would like to apply” She smiled
“Okay follow me” The woman said and Noel tagged along
She was brought to the kitchen for a test run. She was to cook for them and they would taste before giving her the job.
“You’re going to cook for us now. If you cook well and your food is delicious,we will hire you” The woman explained
“Okey dokey”
“We have a timetable for each day of the week. Today is Tuesday so you will be making spaghetti and meatballs. Are you ready?”
“Yes ma”
“Alright. The ingredients are there already and are prepared. All you need to do is just to cook okay?”
“Okay” Noel smiled and ran in shutting the door behind her
“Are you sure she can do this?” One of the employees asked
“I don’t know. She’s a beautiful lady. She should know how to cook”
“Okay. Let’s wait and see”
They heard the sounds of broken plates and falling pots. Noel was working magic in the kitchen. The other employee wanted to run in but the manager stopped her
“Let her be”
“But ma, she’s breaking stuffs in there”
“Just let her be”
“Okay”
Some breaking and banging moments later,Noel came out
“I’m done cooking. You can grab a seat and I’ll attend to you”
“Okay” The manager sat down and forced the employee to sit too
Noel brought the food and the manager almost threw up on setting her eyes on it
“Oh my” The employee exclaimed
“Please what’s your name miss?” The manager asked
“Noel ma”
“Okay. Noel, please where is the spaghetti and where are the meatballs cause what I’m seeing here is mashed potatoes”
“Mashed potatoes?” Noel laughed “Stop being silly. That’s the spaghetti you’re looking at. Taste it okay? It’s delicious”
“Mrs Mira,I can’t eat this. This looks like what a child threw up. I’m not even seeing the spaghetti” The employee said facing the manager
“Woah what did you cook? I asked you to cook spaghetti” Mrs Mira said pushing the food away
“Yeah that’s what I cooked” Noel said
“But I ain’t seeing anything” The manager stood up and entered the kitchen
Her eyes opened wide as her jaw dropped
“What happened in here?” She yelled
“I cooked” Noel smiled sweetly
“OH.MY.GOSH!!!” The woman exclaimed
There were broken plates on the floor,disheveled pots and water everywhere
“This place is a big mess. Ms Noel you are fired”
“Fired? You haven’t even employed me yet” Noel retorted
“I don’t care. You are fired. Leave my company”
“Woah you really have issues” Noel said and walked out
Mrs Mira held her head in awe. Only to cook and the lady messed up her kitchen. She would never let someone like that work for her.
MENDING HIS BROKEN HEART : CHAPTER 1 – 10
Noel got out of the company and continued walking. She was angry that the woman fired her. She wasn’t even employed and the woman dare fire her.
“It’s not like I even wanted to work there. I was only trying to do her a favor” She hissed
Then she stumbled upon a poster saying G.G Enterprise was in need of a cleaner. She jumped for Joy and headed for the company. On getting there,she met with Austin
“Good morning sir” She smiled sweetly
“Oh it’s you. What’s your name?” Austin asked
“My name is Noel”
“Wow. How may we help you?” Austin smiled
“I’m here to apply for the cleaning job”
Austin smiled
“That’s interesting. Follow me” He said and she obeyed
They took the elevator and got to Gray’s office. He was busy on some files when they entered
Austin walked over to where he was with Noel
“Hey” Austin said
“Hi” Gray answered without looking up
“Ummm…a lady is here to apply for the cleaning job”
“A lady?” Gray asked
“Yeah”
Gray looked up and saw Noel who waved at him with a smile
His countenance changed immediately
“You again?”
