Hired Wife

Noticing you 2

Caleb welcomed Oliver as soon as he opened the door and offered him a seat. Kelvin sat at the head of the table with Caleb on his right and Oliver on his left. Kev gave a slight smile while Oliver nodded.
"Shall we begin?", Kev asked.
"For sure", Oliver replied.
Caleb stood up and walked to the front facing the two Gentlemen. He raised his eyes at Kev and he nodded as if to tell him to start with his presentation. Caleb turned on the projector after connecting the cable to his laptop and began with his presentation.

Kelvin would once in a while chip in to clarify any misunderstanding while Caleb moved on. Oliver just watched and listened attentively nodding his head.
"So here ends my presentation for today", Caleb said and bowed while Kev and Oliver clapped for him.
"You know all this was not necessary Kev", Oliver said as Caleb walked towards them.
"I know but, you know... I like things being done in the formal way when it comes to business", Kev answered.
"I trust you. Well done Caleb", Oliver said as soon as he joined them.
"So, how do you see our project?", Caleb asked.
"I must say, it's excellent and brilliant. Especially the jewelry aspect, I loved it. I look forward to receive the first produce", he grinned.
"It's for the wifey right", Caleb smiled.
"Yh, lady would love this. So...", He faced Kelvin. "I like this project and wanna invest in it, what do you say?".
"Thanks man, I really appreciate it. Caleb will get the papers ready for you to sign", Kev replied and shook hands with Oliver. Caleb did same and asked Beverly to bring the documents.

Oliver signed them and handed it over to Kev after going through. Kelvin pen down his signature to seal their agreement. Caleb signed as the witness and they left the conference room chatting about the procedures.
"So, I'll meet your team next week. Tell them to bring up their A-game", Oliver said with a smile on his face.
"You have no problem, see you next week", Kev replied and waved him as he took an elevator to the ground floor.
"Yes!", Caleb shouted with joy.
"What's come over you?", Kev asked looking confused as he rested his head in his chair at his office.
"We did it", Caleb answered.
"Yh, we've been doing this all the time so why are you this excited? It's not as if Oliver is bigger than us"
"Yes but he's our jackpot for this project and we're the very first to be working with him here in Atlanta".
"Ok, I get it now. Besides, Oliver had no other option than to invest in our project. Aside being friends with him, I helped him to get the woman he's married to currently".
"Who? Are you talking about yourself?", Caleb asked sarcastically.
"Yes, don't you think I'm capable?", He husked.
"Of...of course you are", he gave out a slight laughter. Since when did he become a matchmaker, he thought. "I'll be in my office in case you need me", he added and left, still laughing at what Kev had said earlier.

Kelvin called for a meeting in the afternoon after lunch break and broke the good news to them.
"Wow! Oh my God!", the ladies and gentlemen murmured among themselves.
"This means we have to put in much effort and bring out the best in us especially the Design department, I want you guys to work around the clock", Kev said.
"Yes sir, you have no problem", Christy responded while praise took notes of all that was being said.
"So, Miss Praise will be doing the documentations and evaluation since it was her idea and creativity that got us this offer but Your chief will give the final comment on everything, is that clear?", Caleb asked.
"Yes sir!", Everyone responded.
"The rest of the jobs would be assigned to you by Miss Christabel. Do well not to make any mistake else you're fired, do I make myself clear?", Kev chipped in.
"Yes boss", all answered and the meeting was adjourned.

Christabel divided the work among her members and tasked them to do a clean job. Though she was not happy about the upper hand Mr. Caleb had given to Praise but she was happy she had still been redeemed as the officiator. Kev argued with Caleb about the position he had given to Praise when they got to his office.
"That girl is a newbie, how can she execute such a task you have given her?", He fumed.
"Trust me, she will give out an excellent result. Let's just try her for this week till we meet with Oliver".
"Alright, I'm giving you and her just this chance", he spoke in-between gritted teeth.
"Yes sir, we won't fail you. I promise", he winked and left to his office.
Praise became very busy and hardly sat in her office. She was either at the IT department or at the modelling factory just to supervise and keep records. Christy made things worse and asked her to put everything on paper and bring it to her everyday for review before forwarding it to Kelvin.
Caleb on the other hand became aquinted to Adwoah. He'd take her out on dates and have fun with her. He had purposed in his heart to propose to her but wanted to wait for the right time.
Adwoah secretly went on dates with Caleb without Praise noticing cause she always returned home late ever since she was assigned this duty at work.

Christy was done with today's review and she asked Praise to send it to Kev for his signature. Praise panicked as she headed towards Kev's office. The grudge between them has not loosen a bit. Praise is just grateful that Kelvin do not contradict both personal and work matters else, she would have been fired already. She knocked steadily and waited for his response.
"Come in", his horse voice was heard few seconds after knocking.
Praise walked briskly towards his desk not bothering to sit or stay there for more than two minutes. Kelvin kept his head bent over some files that he didn't bother to look at her in the face.
"What's it Bev?", He asked thinking it was Beverly because of the way she walked to his desk but was mistakened.
