"What?" Sonia exclaimed, leaning forward."What do you mean?" Alex asked.Their faces wore a surprised look. What did he mean by it was all an act?"Calm down, you two. With the way you're staring at me, I might just drop dead," he said, feigning to be scared.He chuckled, and leaned against the soft sofa."Yes, it was all an act. How? Here is what happened. I was watching a movie, while Sonia was inside, when I heard the screeching sound of the car. I came to the window to check who it was, and I saw you. You were holding a flower, and another bag. I saw how happy you were, as you inhaled the flowers, and probably imagining how happy she would be.As you approached the house, I took off my shirt, and I was left with just my shorts. I kept a grumpy face, and pretended not to know that you are her boyfriend. I was expecting you to punch me, or maybe, start a fight. Worse still, hit her; but you did none of those.I clearly saw the pain in your eyes, how jealous you were. I followed Son

Natalia and her twin sister, Natasha had arrived at their house. As they were busy with the arrangements, Natasha suggested that they cancel their date, and fix it some other day."Hey, Nat. Why don't we fix our date, for another day? We have to unpack our stuff, and we might get exhausted before dusk," Natasha suggested."Yeah, you are right. I will call Andrea, now." She took her phone, and dialed Andrea's number."Hey, girl!" She said, "Just called to tell you that the date is cancelled, till next week," she continued, without wasting time.She heard Andrea exclaim, from her end."Chill, okay? It's nothing serious, we just might get exhausted, after unpacking. You know we just moved in to Texas, after spending some time in LA. I bet you are doing same. I heard you moved in to Uncle Peter's house," she said, almost rapping, as she rushed her words."Yeah, you are right. We just moved in, and I'm just entering my room. I have stuff to do, too. Maybe, we should fix the date, next week

When Andrea had left her office that day, for the security man to lock it, as usual; Nathan had told the man to go lock other offices, that he would help me out, starting with Andrea's office.He had not found anything suspicious about Nathan trying to help him out. He had thanked him, and left.It was easy for Nathan to find the files, because 'Crescent City' was boldly written on it. As he took it, it clicked on his mind that she might look for the file.Rather than make things complicated, he took out the document, and replaced it with another. He locked the office, and took the keys to the man.Before he left, he had gone to the security room, and cleared every trace of him in the footage.Hearing that Andrea had resigned, or fired, rather; he was happy. Part of his plans was to make Andrea leave the company, so he could bring someone else in.They—Nathan, Jane, and Charles—had it planned out, and to their best of luck, it worked.Jayden went back to his office, and stood by the w

Alex was sure of what he had seen. Was this a coincidence, rather? That they bore the same name? Could it be that it was a sheer coincidence? Or, were they one and the same person?Andrea took a quick look at Alex's stunned face. She instantly knew what was going on in his mind.She slowly picked up the phone, and swiped right, taking it close to her ear."Hello?" She said.Her heart was beating fast. She was expecting him to call, but not so fast. "Hello, Andrea."That voice was as charming as it had always been. She swallowed hard, tongue-tied; unable to say anything."Are you busy? Can we talk, please?" He said, in a pleading tone."I'm still at work, now. I will call you, once I get home," she replied, trying to hide the excitement.Though she wanted to talk to him, at that moment, she didn't want to speak with him in front of Alex. Not that she did not trust Alex, she did, but it was her private life. She didn't know what Mikel wanted to say to her."Alright, then. I will be wai

Andrea had already packed up her stuff, ready to leave. She hoped that her parents were not at home, as she was trying to avoid any questioning.As she picked up the brown box, where she had packed her stuff in, she heard a knock on the door.Having her back to the door, she ushered the person in, before turning to face who it is.She was surprised to see Carina. Why was she in her office?"Hi, Ms. Bartholomew. Please, come in. How may I help you?" She asked, politely, wearing a smile."Hi, Ma'am. Thank you," she walked in, "nothing really. I don't need any help. I just came to say goodbye, and that I will miss you. I really hope you have a good reason for leaving," she said. Her voice was calm."Thank you, Ms. Bartholomew. I really appreciate your kind words," Andrea replied, beaming with joy."I would appreciate it, if you call me Carina," she said."Alright, Carina. Call me Andrea," she said, then suddenly, she realized that no one in the company knew her by that name."Andrea?" Sh
