FINDING LOVE AFTER GETTING HEART BROKEN

TINA IS BACK IN OFFICE

Wake up! Wake up! Tina was in her dreamland when she had someone shaking her to wake her up. She woke up confused about her location and that's when she saw it was Lilly waking her up. Your phone has been ringing nonstop a certain Ken with a photo of you both taken together has been calling nonstop and you are not answering your phone.

I had to pick up his call because it sounded urgent he was worried about what had happened to you since you weren't picking up the phone. I assured him you are fine just sleepy and he requested you call him as soon as you woke up. So call him your sleepy head and come and join me for supper. " I have already prepared dinner and I want you to spill everything and I am very mad at you I told you to blackout Sam not me how can you forget me? I can see why you have to tell me who Ken is and I want details girl because I am very mad at you".

Tina woke up took shower and dressed up for dinner she could not believe its evening she has been sleeping the whole day. She called Ken who answered on the first ring, "you had me worried my baby are you fine?", yes Tina replied "I think I overslept", "you were exhausted baby we had a lot of activities in the last few days, you remember, I miss you" Ken said. "Have you eaten anything today" Tina replied "Yes I had breakfast". Ken insisted she goes and have dinner and they will talk later. "I love you, baby," Ken said, "I love too" Tina replied. Ok let me see what Lilly has prepared for me she heard her tummy rumble and we will connect later love.

When she went for dinner Lily had set the table and was waiting for her they have dinner. Lilly had prepared a special rice and beef stew meal since she knew it was Tina's favorite who ate with a big appetite and when she finished Lily asked her to join her at the coach. She served them with a wine glass Tina offered to go and clean the dishes but Lilly said no girl that can wait I want to hear the juice, spill everything. Tina smiled seeing how anxious her friend was to hear all the details and joined her at the coach.

Tina narrated to Lilly about her holiday without giving details until Lily noticed that she was withholding something so she said "Girl I want the juicy part about Ken, spill the beans". I am not going anywhere until I get all the details. Tina told Lily about their meeting having dinner together in the beach hotel, their safari, and eventually the promissory gold chain and bracelet. "Wow, Lily exclaimed they are beautiful, tell me how and when it happened they spent till midnight talking. Lilly hugged her friend I am so happy for you. At least you will forget that dog Sam and I hope you settle with Ken. Promise me to please never go back to Sam, Lilly asked yes I promise you. That's when Tina remembered she hadn't called Ken oh girl goodnight, I have a telephone call to make. Lily also went to sleep. Tina knew it was late and decided to text her lover goodnight but was surprised when he replied immediately.

T Goodnight darling

K Good night to love you don't want to talk to me

T Okay give me like 10min I will call you.

K Okay facetime

T Later

K Later love

Tina then called Ken on facetime to chat they were both very excited to see one another although it wasn't like being together. They recalled their holiday the times they were together, the good times and they did not want to say good night to one another. I miss you darling "Ken said" I cannot survive that long without meeting you.

Ken said, "Good night my love tomorrow is a working day and I don't want you to be late for work. Sweet dreams". "I will dream with you sleep tight my love" Tina replied. They disconnected the phones at the same time and called it a night.

Tina set the phone because tomorrow was another working day. She woke up early prepared herself to report to the office and continue in her daily chaos. When she went to her office she found her desk missing from the usual sitting arrangement. Then the phone rang and she Tina good morning, welcome back to work, kindly come and see me in the office. Tina became worried wondering if she was getting a redundancy letter. What did I do wrong she wondered to herself. So she decided to take the risk and go and see what is happening at the Human Resources office. When she knocked on the door the HR replied "come in". Tina entered not knowing what to expect but the HR officer Mr. Mark told her to sit down. "I know you are wondering why I called you here and you might have noticed that your desk is missing from its usual place", Mr. Mark commented. "Yes," that's all Tina managed to answer. She went inside expecting anything and since her desk was missing maybe it was a dismissal letter. That was the longest and most stressful moment Tina had ever had in her place of work. She entered the office holding her breath and praying. "Morning sir".

"Let me cut to the chase to keep you at ease, here's is your appointment letter as the assistant to our new CEO", it's a reward for your hard work and since you have the necessary qualifications we the management have decided to promote and we hope you will continue being very productive as you have been previously. Tina was so grateful and thanked HR for the opportunity and promised to continue performing better. Then she remembered before there was no CEO and the senior manager was General Manager. "If you don't mind my asking sir before I left the senior manager was the GM how come you said the CEO does it mean Mr. Sigh our GM is now the CEO, what happened to his assistant?". "Ooh, sorry I forgot to tell you, the hotel has new investors who want to refurbish it and raise the hotel standards to a higher level. The CEO Mr. King is coming in a month to oversee the Hotel's refurbishment. I hope you serve him well as your boss and Tina, once again congratulations. My secretary will direct you to your new office.

Tina settled in her new office it was large and her boss's office was opposite and was locked since he would not be in for about a month. Nobody knew when he would turn up but they knew it was a wealthy man. All Tina had to do was settle in and do the jobs directed to her by General Manager and sometimes Mr. King, the new CEO was sending some queries via email or things to do and Tina was answering and giving him the required information that he required. What mesmerized her was that he never called her directly but either used the GM or HR and never talked to Tina.

Tina was also sponsored by the company to go for management training for two weeks to familiarize herself with the duties of an assistant to the CEO. Tina could not believe her luck she had just been praying for a breakthrough and now from nowhere with her promotion and salary increase, she could see light at the end of the tunnel. Then after the training, Tina was called to the HR's office she knocked on his door "You called me sir" Tina asked. "Yes please have a seat HR replied, we have received a letter that you need to go to our head office for a familiarization tour and also to know what is expected of your new job as the assistant to the CEO". You will be trained for one week before the CEO reports to our office so please go and pack your flight tomorrow morning and pass the accountant's office to pick up your allowances Tina best of luck and be the good girl you have always been, don't let us down". Thank you, sir, Tina replied.

She called her friend Lily, and when she picked up the call Tina said, "hi girl where are you" Tina asked let's meet at the choices restaurant. Then Lily was confused about what's the matter we can still meet at home in the evening. No Lily please let's met for lunch I need to talk to you. Lunch is on my bill. Okay, Lily said give me thirty minutes I organize myself I am on the way.

Tina left her office and went to meet Lily at the restaurant, amazingly Lily was waiting for her to take a drink, it was not normal for Tina to invite her for lunch Lily had become anxious and wanted to find out what is happening to her best friend.

When Tina entered the restaurant she took her seat both ordered lunch and then Lily could not hold her anxiety anymore and said, spill the beans girl and tell me everything is it about my brother-in-law Ken when is the wedding due, I cannot wait to be the bride of honor. "Hold your horses who talked about Ken, in fact, the last time we talked he was leaving for a two-week conference in Japan and he told me that communication might be tricky due to our time zone, and also the phone range. The reason I called you Tina said, is because I am leaving for 2 weeks of familiarity job training at our head office".

"My goodness, Tina my girl you must be very lucky this promotion is making a change in your life. I am happy for you girl. When are you leaving", Lily asked, " tomorrow Tina replied I am going to pack for the journey.

"Hi, girl, wait you aren't going anywhere yet", Lilly said, Tina was a bit perturbed about what was wrong". "We are going to make you look beautiful and you also need a new wardrobe, you can't just go with your old clothes. So Lilly made a few phone calls she booked a beautician, and salon where they both went for a spa and massage, a salon had her hair styled beautifully, a manicure & pedicure, and also a facial. By the time they finished, it was evening but Lilly insisted they visit a mall and buy some clothes and shoes. Lilly insisted you need to look beautiful girl it's time you came out of your hiding place. You need to show off your beautiful curves and your body girl. Tina had to go with the flow since Lily was insistent. She had even used her card for the expense even when Tina protested Lily insisted it was her price to her small sister. Don't worry you'll pay me later. Tina didn't have a choice but to go with the flow and by the end of the day they were exhausted, they ordered a pizza to eat and went to sleep. Tina had to wake up early because she had a flight to catch and packing to do. Lily woke up and dropped her off on time, they hugged and Tina bonded the plane on time and they took off just on time.
