An elegant Hyundai Santa Fe pulled over into an elegant skyscraper on a very hot summer afternoon.It's rider stepped out and all eyes went to him.It was Ray Allen,CEO of Ray's and co organization limited.He was dressed in a navy blue pant trousers and a black turtle neck with a white suit.His hair was neatly combed and cut with the most perfect shave ever.He wore cool dark glasses to compliment his outfit.As he passed by,all female workers eyes were on him,some even blushed and while some were daydreaming about him.Then he turned right and went to the elevator.In a few seconds,the elevator lifted him up.After he left,some of the female workers began to gossip.
"How I wish that Mr Ray could be my boyfriend".One girl said.
"He's so muscular and everything.His body shape is fitting and to compliment it,he has a very high taste for outfits".Another one said.
"You two are not wrong,do you know the last thing I noticed about him?One named Rachel said.
"What's that?The two girls chorused.
"He has the best taste for cars,like have you seen his cars?The girl said.
"You're right about that,but it's just so sad that he never woos any of us in this organization".Said the first girl named Betty.
"Yeah, none of us ever had to say that Mr Ray wooed us"The second lady Sam said.
"Are you girls crazy? someone of that high class and caliber cannot stoop so low to date employees like you". Rachel said.
"Hey,watch your mouth,we are not just employees,we are humans just as he is".Sam said.
"Thank you ,Sam because I don't see the reason she has to start insulting us like that,oh how I wish he was right beside me on my bed snuggling and caressing me".Betty said.
"Me too.Sam said.
"You girls are cheap harlots cause if you're not,you wouldn't stand here and be saying nonsense unfiltered from your mouths.Racheal said.
"Sam, let's go to my office to further discuss this,I hate it when I am being insulted just because I am calling good fortune upon my life.Betty said.
"Well said , Sadie.Sam said.
The two girls glared and hissed at Racheal then walked off to Betty's office.
"Stupid girls.Racheal said.
Back at Ray's elevator,the elevator doors opened and he came out and walked to the private passage that leads to his office .Ray had always been private, even to the slightest meeting he always arranged and his arrangements are based on privacy.He opened the door to his office and switched in the lights.The light illuminated the well furnished office and it's extensive design.The walk s were painted white with burgundy with a swirl of gold.The table was well arranged with a vase of tulips on it.He went to the chair and sat on it with a tired sound.He was staring at the ceiling preparing for the meeting which was in two hours when his phone rang.He picked it up and answered the call.
"Hey, sweetheart.Came a voice from the other end .
"Hi, babe.
"What are you doing?
Just preparing for my meeting in two hours.
Oh ok.
So what are you doing too?
Just in my room relaxing.
That doesn't sound too convincing.
How Ray?
Rosetta,I know your voice tonation and this one is lying.
(Laughs).Yeah, you got me.
(Chuckles).So what are you doing?
I'm just thinking about you.
(Blushes). Really?
Yeah baby,I miss you so much.Two weeks without you has been lonely for me.
Awwn.So you're missing me for two weeks what if I'm gone for two months?
Baby, please don't do that.I can't live without you for two months.
You sure?
Yeah. I love you and will always love you.
YI love you too.How about I come pick you up at seven tonight so we could have dinner.
Yeah sure .Bye sweetheart.
Bye.
(Pauses)
Rosetta,hello
Won't you add my pet name?
Uh,excuse me,what pet name?
(Pauses)
(The pause seems to jog up his memory)ooh,bye baby.
Bye , sweetheart.Love you.
Love you too.
(Hangs up)
Ray sat back on his chair and giggled to himself before he got up and started preparing for his meeting.
The day was a long one and soon Ray began to pack up from work.He walked out of the office, switched off the lights and went straight down to his car.He drove all the way home for a shower.After showering,he wore a new change of clothes which consisted of a black jean jacket and a black jean trouser completed with a white top and white sneakers.He went back to his car and began to drive to Rosetta's house.On the way,there he bought some daises for her.At 6:58 pm,he was already at the front of Rosetta's apartment.He walked into the apartment and pressed the doorbell.No one answered.He pressed it again,but still no one answered.Then he remembered that he had a spare key to Rosetta's apartment.He took out the spare key,opened the door and went into the living room.Ther was no one there.Then he went upstairs to Rosetta's room and opened the door to find Rosetta and a man making out on the bed.
Rosetta!He yelled.
Rosetta turned back in fear immediately recognizing his voice.
Ray stared back at the bed then back at her and went out slowly in pain and anger.
Ray! Ray!She called after him.
Immediately hearing her voice,he quickened his steps and began to walk faster down the stairs.
Ray! Ray!She called amidst tears.
He gave her no answer and continued walking across the living room.
Ray!.She said as she finally caught hold of him.
Ray,I...I.... I'm so sorry,I...I didn't know what came over me,I can ex...
There is nothing to explain about Rosetta.He cut in sharply.You have given me the explanation already,that you are a cheap whore and a low class buffoon.
Ray,she said in a low voice.I'm so sorry,I knowledge I have caused you so much pain with the scenerio that you just witnessed few moments ago, but please find a space in your heart to forgive me.
Rosetta, let go of my hand.
Ray, please
Rosetta, I said let go of my hand.
Baby,please
Don't you dare call me that anymore.it's over between us.Now let go of my hand.
Ray, please
Rosetta,let go of my hand.
Ray, sweetheart, let's forget this and come back together.I can't live without you baby, please forgive me.
Rosetta!He shouted.
Rosetta broke down In tears.Ray yanked his hand off hers and went to his car.She went after him, crying and pleading for a second chance.He ignored her and went straight to his car,started the engine and drove off.
