Two Can Play That Game

Chapter Seven

Kivana Stewart

I walked into the office and immediately all eyes were on me. I knew this outfit was loud to them because they usually only see me in neutral colors. I was tired of others seeing me as a neutral person.

"Loving the outfit Ms.Stewart." Lisa smiled.

"Thank you." I smiled.

"So as you know you were a fill in for my previous assistant." She said.

"Mhm." I nodded.

"So she's back today, but good news is you're moving up." She smiled.

"Moving up to where?" I asked.

"Top floor, Mr.Dominic requested you." She shrugged.

I smiled.

"Ok." I nodded.

"Here's your new keycard and everything was already sent up to your new desk." She said.

"Thank you, it's been good working with you Lisa." I said.

"It's been good working with you as well. But I'm just a few floors down, maybe we could get some drinks." She said.

I looked at her and smiled, since moving here I haven't really made friends. So being invited somewhere was rare.

"Sure." I nodded.

"Good, say tonight after work?" She asked.

"Deal." I smiled.

I said my goodbyes to my department before stepping onto the elevator. I felt my neck hairs stand and pulled my phone out.

I clicked on Kivan's contact.

"Hello." He said.

"What's wrong?" I asked stepping off of the elevator.

"You, you're what's wrong. The only reason something's wrong with me is because something's wrong with you." He sighed.

I sighed.

"Look, just because you're three and a half minutes older doesn't mean shit. What the fuck is going on, do not bullshit me Kivana." He said.

I couldn't keep lying.

"How fast can you get here?" I asked.

He chuckled as I abruptly stopped.

"You're on your way aren't you?" I asked.

"Yup." He laughed.

I laughed and shook my head.

"Promise me, once I tell you...you'll let me handle it the way I want and you would keep it from mom and dad." I said.

"When the fuck have I ever spoken of anything we do between mom and dad? All they care about is Kiara." He scuffed.
