CHAPTER 1

HIDDEN INTENSION

He gazed at her all day at work. His eyes were restless on her, but she never noticed. He talked to her oftenly but love was the least she expected to get from him as he boxed his feelings from her notice. His name was George Ralph, he happened to be the founder of a fast growing I.T company in the Southern part of Africa. He was popular for his innovative ideas in currency transfer.

He was a tall, slim, bald bronze skinned young man in the late twenties who had everything he wanted save for Evelyn one of his employees. She happened to be the head of the customer inquiry department within the organization as arranged by him. He desired her as she was a confident woman, ambitious for success and he knew it would perfectly merge with his hunger for growth. Each day he watched her entering in her Merccedes as she knocked off duty and wondered how having her would bring total change to his world. He chose not to make his love for her obvious, but rather be a shadow that could be felt by her and a breeze that soothed her emotions without being seen for her to seek him.

He sat behind his desk one of the mornings 7:30 A.M sipping from his coffee mug which was filled with hot steaming black coffee. This was a practice he did each day, he believed it would empower him to see hidden spots of success. In the midst of that practice an idea came to his head as he thought deeply about Evelyn as usual and it was to shower her with gifts, send her anonymous letters which carried volumes of love which would lead her on a journey of persuing him until a day he would unmask himself to her. One thing he knew definitely was that she was single and a difficult type to get as she believed in being independent. He smiled with satisfaction as he knew that his plan would be a success. He dragged the last drop of coffee from the bottom of the mug and placed it down. He clung his long fingered arms together, leaned his elbows on his dark brown polished office desk and rested his chin on them as he thought about how hilarious his idea was.

With urgency he went to his computer to check the employee's database as he wanted to find her house address to initiate his plan. He found it and jotted it down in his pocket diary, picked up his office line, and made a call to a flower garden in their town. They answered his call with urgency on a single dail. This came as no surprise to him as he was a popular man in his circle as well as outside and was used to such responses:

Unknown: Good morning, this is Deon gardens how can we help you? answered a feminine voice eagerly waiting for his response.

Mr Ralph: Morning, I was wondering if you have flowers to deliver as usual, especially red roses I am in need plenty of red roses replied Mr Ralph in a deep gentle voice as he swang side ways on his leather chair.

Unknown: Yes sir we have just the perfect order for you, but plenty of them means a lot of money as you are aware replied the lady warningly.

Mr Ralph: It's not a problem at all you just name your price, so these are going to be delivered at house number 14 Square street Tomsvile side, write down the following words I want you to attach a letter on those flowers then deliver them to that house: My love for you is matchless, you are a jewel which deserves to be valued, from a distance I always watch your beauty and my eyes are satisfied each time I gaze at you. This bundle of roses carries the scent of my love for you breath it in deeply and you will feel you much I love you ordered Mr Ralph confidently as the lady listened quietly.

Unknown: Wooow those are some deep words there, what a lucky woman she is. Well sir I have just done everything as you ordered me to, I hope you know the payment channel, one bunch costs one hundred and fifty bucks said the lady in an amazed tone.

Mr Ralph: Thank you, I will send forth someone with the money by 12 in the afternoon today, you just do your job as prescribed deliver two bunches for me on the arrival of your payment and don't place my name on the note I want it to be anonymous concluded Mr Ralph as he hung up his phone to attend to other duties.

Upon placing the line down, he took his cellphone and sent a message to his young brother Mike who lived with him to go and make the payment as he learnt on a Campus near that flower farm in order to keep his profile low. He stood up from his seat to stretch his tall stature walking to and fro in his office which happened to be on the fifth floor of a five storied building located on the heart of the city.

He went to the window to get a good veiw of his city as a way of eazing his nerves before he could enter in a board meeting with his co-leaders for the forwarding of the organization. He felt threats being breathed on his idea by competitors who followed after him by taking a first step in the operation of e-banking system. He shot his eyes on his golden wrist watch which dangled loosely on his right arm just to notice that it was 11:45 A.M which meant end of break time. It was opened daily at 10:45 A.M which saw staff members from various departments descending and others ascending to the Dinning Hall which happened to be on the second floor.

He went down from his office to the third floor in the second room. This was used as the boardroom for meetings and formal gatherings of departmental heads to put out relevant issues arising internally as well as outside. He found a company of seven directors sitting in the boardroom on a round table appearing to be already dishing out hot issues across the table as they were all on the edge of their seats in low diplomatic voices, each one of them desiring to be heard.

On his entry into the boardroom they all went quiet and looked in his direction out of respect. He shot his eyes straight on Evelyn who hardly noticed as she took out her writting kit for the meeting. With a few long paces he stood before them beside the presentation board where he always drew their successful plans. He went towards
