Love Hate Relationship by Goodness Shadrach (good books to read for 12 year olds TXT) 📖

"Yes boss" the driver answered and Michael drove away before he walked back to the car and got in, to start his everyday job of waiting outside to be a ghost companion to his mistress.

Sasha got a hold on her emotion, she got up, cleared the dishes and dumped every food in the trashcan, she washed the dishes and went upstairs to their room. She got into the bathroom and looked at the purple blue spot on her temple, she sighed and fetched the first aid box but then decided to take a shower first before applying medication on the bruise. When she was done, she dressed up, got her car key and left the house.

Immediately she drove off, the black car followed after while making a phone call to make his report. Sasha pulled over at her office and got down from the car, she walked straight into her office, paying no mind to the prying  eyes of her workers. She slumped on her office chair and her head rested on the seat with her eyes closed, details of last night playing in her mind, can you live like this Sasha? She asked herself. 

The door to her office opened and her friends walked in "Sasha, is everything okay?" She heard Janet asked and opened her eyes, the women gasped when they noticed the bruise on her temple "what happened to you?"

Sasha sighed "I fell out of bed and hit my temple on the side drawer" she smiled "I didn't know it will bruise."

"What where you doing that you have to fall out of bed?" Marilyn asked. 

"Sleeping" Sasha answered.

Agatha walked closer to her "did Michael know?"

"Of course he will know, he was sleeping beside her" snapped Agnes.

"Have you applied some medicine?" Asked Janet.

"Yea, Michael helped me do that before leaving for work" Sasha smiled.

The women nodded "we were surprised to hear that you are around, I mean you didn't call to tell us you were coming" Janet said.

"I'm sorry, I just got tired of staying at home."

"Well it's good that you are here, a new contract arrived yesterday. The man that brought it said they have been monitoring us and found out we are good with our tasks. According to him, he said that this is just to taste and see our handiwork, that more will be coming if we impress them" Agatha showed her the contract as she was talking.

Sasha was surprised, she wasn't expecting to meet with this news, a good news at that "that's brilliant" she commented as she looked at the contract "seven million!" She exclaimed.

"Exactly, that was how we reacted too. What do you think this is? This is the first time we are receiving a contract of such amount. I mean, we have been hoping to make our stand with Jack and Jones but look now, you sure we still need it?" Marilyn asked.

"Wow, I'm also surprised, if he said they had been watching us that means they had seen our previous works for other people don't you think?" Sasha inquired.

"Yea, I had that in mind too but do you know the good part? This contract is only going to last for a week, I mean seven million dollars for a weak, are we getting rich or something?" Agnes laughed.

Sasha's eyes widened as she checked the duration of the contract only to see seven days, what? This is a miracle, she had been thinking how to pay Michael off and couldn't believe what is happening now, if things continue like this, that means within a month, she would be free from her debt "this is a miracle!"

"Yea, and it calls for celebration" Agatha put in "which reminds me, you owe us lunch, you promised."

"Fine, fine, for this contract, I don't mind."

The woman cheered "but Sasha, why did you come to work today with your old car, I mean don't you like the new one?" Marilyn asked.

"Nothing, I'm just more comfortable in my own car."

Her friends groaned while rolling their eyes "you have been driving that car for two years" they all criticized.

"Excuse me, you girls are beginning to sound like my mom" Sasha confirmed.

"Isn't it good, what happened to the beautiful BMW you drove to work the other day?"

"It's at home" Sasha answered "and enough of you questioning me about what car I drive, go back to your offices let's work on this contract, hopefully they will send another like they said" she shooed them out of her office.

"What about our lunch?" Agatha asked.

"We will go out during lunch break, now shoo" she waved them away.

The women left and Sasha was left alone again, she stared at the contract in her hands and it still felt like a dream. After calming herself down, she called the number on the contract to stabilize the deal.

Sasha pulled over in front of her favourite restaurant, she got down from the car as did her friends, they all walked into the restaurant and a waiter showed them to an empty table, they got seated and he handed them the menu "I didn't know you still eat her Sasha" Agatha was surprised. 

"I love their cooking" was Sasha's reply.
