MENDING HIS BROKEN HEART : CHAPTER 1 – 10
Chapter 04
“You again?” Gray gave her an annoying look
“Yes it’s me again. I saw the poster saying you needed a cleaner so,here I am. Your new cleaner” She said
“Really?” Gray faced Austin “Like really? You brought her here?”
“She wanted a job and there was vacancy so I brought her” Austin said
“This one you are busy saying really like really? Hope you are going to give me this job cause I don’t understand your sudden change in mood or are you a pregnant woman that keep having mood swings.
You were looking serious before we got here,now you’re frowning like someone that has been annoyed” She said
Austin was about to laugh but Gray sent him a hard glare shutting him up
“So,you want a job right?” Gray asked much to Teresa’s dismay
She was angry not only because she didn’t want Noel to get the job but also because Noel had talked back at Gray and he did nothing.
Instead he’s willing to still give her the job. She was also beautiful and Teresa feared she might take Gray away from her. She would just have to make the lady’s stay in the office a miserable one.
“Yes I want the job” Noel replied
“Sit down” He pointed to a chair in front of him
She sat down
“What is your name?” Gray asked
“Noel Patterson” She replied
“Alright Miss Patterson,I will_”
“Hold it right there” She cut him off “My name is Noel not Patterson. Patterson is my surname and not my name please”
“It’s part of your name”
“No it’s not. My name is Noel and will continue to be Noel. Call me Miss Noel and not Miss Patterson. Infact call me Noel. There was never a Miss in my name when my parents gave that name to me” Noel was serious
Austin couldn’t hold in his laughter anymore as he started laughing. He will make sure Gray employed her. She is a medicine to boredom. Trouble everywhere
Teresa could not believe it. Where did this one come from? She doesn’t even have respect for their CEO and to worsen it all,Gray is doing nothing about it.
Gray didn’t know whether he should laugh or cry. He was sure going to do a background check on this lady that can’t keep her mouth shut. He would love to meet the folks that gave birth to her.
“It’s fine Miss Noel”
“No sir. Noel”
“Okay. Noel. I’ll give you the job”
“What!!!” Teresa didn’t know when she said it out
Noel glared at her
“What is it? What is what!!!? Why did you scream like someone that just got sIapped?” Noel asked
“Are you talking to me?” Teresa asked
“No I’m talking to your shadow” She hissed “Please, let’s continue what we were doing Mr Gray”
Teresa was shocked
“Austin, please show her round the company and the places she will be attending to then she can come back to start working tomorrow” Gray said and went back to his files
“Okay sir” Austin stood up and held his stomach. He had laughed alot. “Come with me”
Noel stood up and shot Teresa a glare before leaving
“She just messed with the wrong person” Teresa said within her and planned on what to do with Noel inwardly.
Gray sighed. He just hoped he did the right thing by employing Noel. Although she was really beautiful but crazy. Yeah, she’s a p$ycho. He concluded within himself
MENDING HIS BROKEN HEART : CHAPTER 1 – 10
Austin took her round the company and showed her many things while they discussed happily. She really was a fun person to be with.
“Mind me asking please,are you living with your parents?” He asked
“Nope. My parents live faraway from me. I live with my bestie and course mate Scarlet” She replied
“Oh okay. You’re done with the university?”
“Yes”
“What course?”
“Public administration”
“Wow then why didn’t you seek for a job in a company? Why work in a restaurant?” Austin asked
Noel laughed
“I have been fired from different companies. I’ll soon become a record breaker. There is no company I’ve worked in that will forget me that easily”
“So you were fired from them all?”
“Yeah”
Austin thought for a while as an idea popped into his head. This lady could be the one that will take Gray’s sorrows away. He needs to get her closer to Gray. He has to make her Gray’s assistant.
If Gray could fall in love with her,he would forget about Camille for good. All he needs to do now is to get Teresa out of the office cause he didn’t like her a bit because of her disrespectful behavior and her attempts to seduce Gray. He must make Noel Gray’s assistant
Noel tapped his shoulder yanking him out of his thoughts
“What are you thinking about? Are you thinking about your wife?” She asked
“No..No…Not at all. I’m not even married” Austin countered
“Then why were you lost in thought?”
“Ummm…Noel can you bring me a copy of your credentials tomorrow?” He changed the topic
“Yes”
“Alright. We’ll see tomorrow then. You need to be here as early as 6am to clean the office before Mr. Gray arrive by 7am”
“No problem. Do you guys have a cafeteria here? You know,where people eat”
“Yes. Why are you asking?”
“I’m just asking. Byeeee” She smiled and left
Austin smiled añd went back to the office
“Is she gone?” Gray asked
“Yes she’s gone”
“Thank God”
Austin laughed
“Why are you thanking God?”
“She’s too troublesome. I can’t put up with her”
“You have to learn to put up with her because she will be cleaning your office” Austin smirked
Gray face palmed
His secretary entered
“How may I help you Raymond?” Gray asked
“Jennifer Peters is here to see you” Raymond replied
“I thought I told her,I wasn’t interested in her deal. What is she still doing here?”
“I don’t know sir”
“Tell her I don’t wanna see her”
“But sir_”
“Tell her I don’t wanna see her” Gray cut in stressing each word
“Okay sir” Raymond left
“Why don’t you wanna sign that deal?” Austin asked
“She’s a woman and I don’t work with women”
“But you are surrounded by them” Austin pointed at Teresa
“Do you think I like it that way? If I had my way,they wouldn’t be here in the first place. They’re all wicked creatures”
Teresa gasped and looked at Gray
“Yeah. I said it” Gray glared at her and stood up before leaving the office
“What’s with him?” Teresa shifted her gaze to Austin
“Are you asking me?” He swayed from left to right on his chair
“Is anyone else in this room other than the two of us?” She snapped
“Well, I’m not sure cause as far as I can recall,there is only one person in this room and that is me. You…I’m not so sure” Austin smirked
“Are you trying to insult me?”
“Call it whatever you want Teresa. Your time in this company is almost up” He stood up
“My time? What time?” She twitched her brows
“Adieus” He walked away ignoring her question
She banged the table in anger
“Dmn!! That dude is so annoying” She muttered

NOEL AND SCARLET’S APARTMENT
Noel came back,ate some food,played video games,read some comics,slept,woke up and repeated same routine again till Scarlet got back from work.
“Welcome baby girl” Noel smiled
“Thanks. Jeez I’m exhausted” Scarlet removed her heels and plopped down on the bed
“Why won’t you be tired when you are a secretary in a big company. You’re even lucky your boss is nice enough to allow you close early sometimes if not,you would have turned to skeleton. Look at how skinny the stress is making you”
Scarlet sat up and gave her a look that says “Don’t start”
“Anyways,my boss is in need of an assistant so I thought you could apply for the job” Scarlet said
“I’m not interested” Noel replied
“Why?”
“I got a better job at Mr Gray’s company”
Scarlet took some water
“Really? What kind of work?”
“A cleaner” Noel smiled happily
Scarlet spat out the water she was about to gulp down
“You said what!!! A cleaner? And you think it’s better than being an assistant?” Scarlet was surprised
“Yes. Do you know how long I’ve waited to become a worker in his company? I don’t care whatever work is given to me as long as I get to see him everyday”
“Are you serious like serious,serious?”
“Yeah. I’m serious. I’ll be resuming work tomorrow so let me go and pick what to wear” She stood up to her wardrobe and brought out an outfit
“Noel,cleaners don’t wear that”
“But I wanna wear this”
“That’s not the outfit you should wear. Drop it” Scarlet ordered
Noel pouted and dropped it

THE NEXT DAY
“Noel!!!!” Scarlet yelled and she fell from the bed
“What is it?” Noel asked standing up From the floor
“It’s almost 7am and you’re still in bed. I pity you. You’ll get fired today again”
Noel eyes widened and she ran to the bathroom
Scarlet shook her head and left for work
After bathing,she dried her body with a towel and applied some body lotion. Then,she applied light makeup and put on the outfit Scarlet warned her not to wear with a white canvas. She checked herself out in the mirror,smiled and set off to work.

G.G ENTERPRISES
Noel walked into the company and all eyes landed on her. Others couldn’t hold in their laughter and burst while the rest gossiped
?what the h’ll is she wearing?
?OMG isn’t she a cleaner?
?Where on earth have you seen a cleaner wearing something like this?
? I’m sure she is cray cray
Noel ignored them and catwalked to the office after picking up her cleaning equipments
Gray was talking with Austin when she entered
“Good morning Mr Gray. Good morning Mr Austin” She greeted with that cute smile
“Noel…why are you la….” Gray trailed off immediately he looked up and saw her
Austin turned to look at her and burst into laughter
Noel didn’t mind
“Noel” Gray called after he snapped out of the shock
“Yes sir” She answered
“What are you wearing?” Gray asked not knowing whether to start laughing or just frown
“Suit of course” She answered “I’m wearing a black trouser,white inner wear and black jacket. It’s called suit”
Austin continued laughing without saying anything
“You’re a cleaner and you’re wearing suit? That’s not even the problem. The problem is you’re wearing suit on Canvas???” Gray sighed and ruffled his hair
He was done for
