Julia paused for some seconds before going out. He knew the end had come to persuade Eddie otherwise. He went to his office and shut the door. Eddie kept staring at the door until Julia was out of sight. He looked furiously as his brother kept talking about Jennifer and him being her first man. Wasn't he someone else first? Why didn't the fellow get pregnant for him and give birth to a son that looks like him? Didn't he lose his own first Frede to someone else? Why always making mention of him and Agatha being each other's first Freder? Jennifer saw Eddie's cold stare at the door and gently stood up to walk out. She would talk to him later in the day. " Where are you going?" Eddie asked, staring at Jennifer. The latter looked back at him and said " I will check on you later" " Come sit here!" He ordered, tapping on his thighs. He moved his chair backwards and gave space for her to walk to him. Jennifer came back and sat on his thighs. He hugged her warmly and the la

He answered her and the latter asked to see him. "I can't see you now Agatha, infact, I don't want to see anyone. I want to be alone"Josh replied. Agatha Perceived her friend's voice was not sharp and amusing as always. She felt something wasn't right, he must be worried or worked up. "Are you alright Josh? Your voice is not having its usual vibrancy. Does it have to do with you and Rosa?" She asked. "No it's nothing. I had an hectic day and I need to rest. Besides, what do you want to see me for?" Josh demanded. " Rosa came to my office…" Jennifer told him to call her and get things straightened. But she skipped information like she saw him with another woman or that she said no to him a few days ago. " Thank you for your concern Agatha. But she called me a while ago and everything is settled between us. Everything is back to the way it should be" Josh replied and chuckled softly. Jennifer was impressed and said if that's the case, she doesn't need to see him for no

She wasn't unfamiliar with them. They knew her as the second master's woman. They helped her with her suitcase but the elderly maid in the house said she was to be welcomed in the second bedroom. That bedroom was next to the children's bedroom. The room was tidied and Rita settled in there. The room wasn't too far from the master bedroom where Julia occupies and she had slept there countless Fredes in the past. But for another three days, Rita didn't see Julia. He didn't come home during the day nor will he return at night. He was supposed to be having a honeymoon with his wife but he was having fun with his girlfriends in the hotel. He would get drunk and sleep with his woman. Next day, he would bathe and dress up before going to the company. Eddie knew he was keeping distance from him but didn't know he was married to Rita already. He didn't ask him either. Jennifer has tried getting them both back to their previous lives as friends but Julia would just snupped her.

Jennifer looked at him and turned away. Julia is fighting a cold war with her and Eddie. He wants her to know that he doesn't appreciate what they did to him. "Julia, I know you are upset with your brother and myself. But please, I want you to let it go. I am not comfortable with you behaving so cold towards us. You are the only friend I've got in the entire Li's Group. If you keep snubbing me, I will not be able to feel comfortable and concentrate on my work…."Jennifer was coaxing him. But she didn't dare say she nor Eddie was sorry. There was nothing to be sorry about, Eddie did the right thing and took the right decision. "I just needed to be alone, Agatha. I don't want people around me that's why" Julia replied, without his usual cheerfulness. " I missed your smiles and friendship. I was wondering if we can go to lunch together today since my boyfriend is not around to accompany me" Jennifer asked. Clara held down his lower lip and closed his eyes. He doesn't

"Hey, you! Your eyes have been watching me since earlier, what's your problem, young man?"That question made Eddie stop eating. He glanced at the strange man who was looking at him while grinning sharply"I'm sorry, but I was just thinking that your face resembles someone I know, sir. I apologize if that makes you uncomfortable," Eddie said calmly.The man looked around and then pulled out a business card from his jacket pocket, tossing it towards Eddie. The card landed right on Eddie's plate of pasta, and as Eddie reached for it, the stranger got up from his seat."Contact me at that number, maybe we can discuss something. I'd like you to come alone, without your friend," the stranger said, patting Eddie on the shoulder before walking away. Eddie watched his steps as he neared the exit.A name was written on the card, 'Roland Brick', CEO of White Star Management."He's a CEO? In that case, he's not the person from prison, why would he give me this business card?" Eddie muttered, puz
