AUTHOR'S POV
After Vince has managed to establish a good relationship with Tamara, they have both been getting along well. For Vince, this is just a boss and employee friendship but who would tell him that he is just deceiving himself. Honestly, he doesn't even know what he's doing, he is just doing whatever that comes to his mind and getting intoxicated with the unknown. He is not supposed to be visiting his personal company every week, but he is now doing that because that little time he spends with her every Saturday matters more to him. The reviews that are being submitted to him by Tamara are not even meant for him. Josh is the one who does the reviews for and each time Tamara leaves, Josh will always come and pick them up then return them before her next visit. Vince will always spend his days anticipating the Saturdays visit, he is always there on time waiting and Tamara definitely wouldn't miss to show up. These two have become addicted to each other without realizing. Tamara has always been a reserved person but whenever she's with Vince she becomes a chatterbox having endless things to talk about. As soon as she steps into the office door she will turn into a radio without a battery that has been turned on, her voice resonating in the office until she finally leaves. And the only thing that stops Vince from calling her back each time she leaves is the fact that there's another Saturday coming. When he heard the rumors circulating the company about Josh and Tamara, he was very annoyed. Actually not because of the rumors but because they were tagging the wrong people together. He would have sought out the people spreading those rumors but that would be a wrong approach. So they only had to find a way to control the rumors. There's a new rule and regulation he has been wanting to implement and this was a perfect opportunity to implement it. He signed it immediately and the moment it was released, it worked like magic.
TAMARA'S POV
Juggling my studies together with my part-time job life went on and on and soon a year has passed. It's another winter holiday and the Jezz project is finally coming to a conclusion after two years. It's going for a test today. It has been tested numerous times during its development but this test is different, it's the final test that will show the result of our years of hardwork, this is our sweat being put to test. It's going live on the road for a whole six hours, the live stream has been connected to all the workers devices as well as the meeting room where the shareholders of Jetro and the head staffs are all onboard and soon Jezz was on the road this is it's longest ride and everything on it is been put to test starting from the speed, energy control, mechanical flexibility, automatic sensitivity and so many other things. It's not just the company that's doing this test, business partners are also live, government officials and agencies including top scientists are also live. There are so many people to supervise and rate the final outcome of this project after which it will be approved before hitting the market. Everyone is present today except for the main person, the head that is still behind the scene. Sometimes I can't help but imagine him being a normal boss, trolling in and out of his company like every other boss. I wonder where he is now. By evening the car ride was concluded, no failure, no abnormalities, it was just as perfect as we had expected. The ratings and reviews kept coming in each one better than the last. We were so happy and this caused a jubilation in the company which led to a wrap up celebration party. Our vice promised to host the party as an end of the year party. The party was set for tomorrow evening at HD hotel. The next day I got ready. I have never lacked clothes, just going to classes everyday has left me buying new outfits every now and then. I dress up in a pair of black boyfriend jean trouser with a cropped camisole and a jacket for cover. While wearing my sneakers I called my friend Sophie, Sophie is a 2nd level mass communication student I met in school last year. I met her on a queue in a sandwich store where she was about to fight a guy that cut the line to her front. I held her from fighting after which we engaged in random discussions after the sandwich store I met her again around my department. Then I found out her lodge is close to my apartment building and just like that our friendship started. Since we're allowed to bring visitors to the party I decided to bring my female bestie. Having her around will make me more comfortable especially when she is an outing girl. I told her about the party yesterday and she agreed to go with me. I dialed her number and soon her voice came from the receiver
Sophie: Hello bestie
Tamara: Babe what's up
Sophie: I'm on my way to your apartment
Tamara: I'm done already, how long will it take you
Sophie: A little while, like 15minutes, I will call you soon
Tamara: Ok, I'm waiting
My friends all have their own cars except for poor me lol. I can afford a car just that I haven't put so much thought into it. Sophie actually comes from a good home, I have seen her with different cars but none is hers, she just rides her dad's cars any way she wants. I'm not with my dad so no car for me lol. It isn't long before Sophie calls me out, I take my things and leave my apartment. I saw her car and went for it, I got in and saw my beautiful bestie dressed in a short body fitting gown looking as enticing as always.
Sophie: So you're actually going to party today, this should be an initiation.
Tamara: it's company's gathering
Sophie: In your dreams, let's wait and see.
We set off for the hotel venue. When we reached the place we drove into the parking lot, after parking the car we came out and Sophie gave the car key to the security guard as demanded. We found our way to the party hall which is located in the basement of the hotel. On our way down we met Josh who happened to have just arrived as well and we all greeted
Tamara: Vice is that you?
Josh: Hey girls
He replied sizing us up
Tamara: Looks like you're just coming
Josh: Yeah, I'm actually heading somewhere else but I need to give an opening speech at the party first.
Tamara: Oh, I see
Josh: Is she your friend?
Tamara: Yes, this is Sophie, my friend. Sophie, this is Josh, our vice president.
I said holding Sophie close as I introduced them.
Josh: Nice to meet you Sophie
He said extending his hand which Sophie shakes in return
Sophie: Nice to meet you too
We all went down together and as soon as we entered the hall we drew everyone's attention. I don't know most of the faces here as there are other departments in our company and I don't know everyone from the other departments. Some people came forward to greet the vice successfully separating him from us so I took my friend with me and blended into the crowd exchanging pleasantries. I found my department colleagues and so many other people I'm well acquainted with and we chatted along. Soon we heard the vice president on the speaker introducing himself
Josh: Good evening ladies and gentlemen, my name is Joshua Kimberly, I'm the vice president of Jetro technologies. On behalf of my company I want to say welcome to all our distinguished guests. To the members of Jetro, Once again I'm saying congratulations to our achievements this year. Shall we have a toast?
He picks up a cup of wine from a waiter while everyone picks a glass too.
Josh: Cheers!!! to our success
He gulped the wine down and everyone also does same
Josh: We're gathered here this evening to celebrate our success so let us enjoy and make ourselves comfortable. To open the party floor, I would like to ask Miss Sophie to do me the honor of dancing with her.
What!!! Sophie? I was surprised, didn't I just introduce them and now he's asking her for a dance. I looked at the unphased Sophie and she was just smiling, not even surprised like I am. Josh walked down from the stage and came to her and extended his hand which she took.
