Managing Director
Tears dropped down from my eyes, no wonder she was laughing. I’ve been working in this company for 8yrs before Mr Benson handed over the company to his son. I’ve been promoted several times because of my hardworking towards the progress of the organization. I shouldn’t be dismissed in such a way.
I thought of who has poisoned my boss’ heart to be against me then I remember his wife, it might be her because of what I told he. I know my boss will not listen to the cheap slut he called PA but was I wrong for telling her the truth?
I was so confused and devastated, I never knew such would befall me so soon. The sack was like a slack cause it came as a bombshell.

Mrs Alex and her mother in-law were on their usual strolling when they experienced something unusual. Her mother in-law noticed reddish stain on her dress. “what is this? ” she asked trying to check the stain.
Rose quickly turned her dress towards her to see what was that. She opened her mouth wide “it’s blood, you have lost your baby” her mother in-law said.
Rose fell and fainted immediately hearing she had lost her baby. Her mother-in-law was helpless. She ran and called people who came to her aid. They helped her by taking her to the hospital.
Mr Alex rushed to the hospital on hearing about the state of his wife. He rushed to the doctor “Doctor! Doctor!! where is my wife ” he asked
“calm down she will be fine, she is in the theater ” he said and walked out.
Alex was crying already “calm down, you have to be a man for once. She is not going to die ” his mum console him.
Soon the doctor arrived and asked them to go and see her.
