Henry scoffed, he could not believe that his mother was yet to get over this thought."Mum, I've told you that I no longer have feelings for Linda, we are already divorced and we are really over now." Henry said and shrugged his shoulders. He had no idea why he sounded like he was trying to convince himself more than he was trying to convince his mother that he no longer had any feelings for Linda. What if he still did? Why did he get excited when he thought about the board meeting that was coming up soon just before the ball which would mark the official launching of his company.Henry slapped himself on his forehead to stop the thoughts, but it was already too late because he heard his mother clear her throat, by the time he looked up, it was to find her staring at him with her lips pressed tightly together."I knew it." She said amidst gritted teeth and scoffed."What is it about that woman that is so hard to get over? Despite everything she did to you? Now you want to put your wh

Just as their lips were about to meet, Miguel's phone began to ring. He pulled away quickly and grabbed his phone. Ava cleared her throat and adjusted. She also adjusted her dress. She could not believe that she almost kissed Miguel. She told herself that whatever happened between his dad and her, it was all a dream. "Excuse me," Miguel told her as he grabbed his phone and stood up from the couch. He walked towards the window before picking up his dad's call. "Why do you have to call me now?" He asked."Did I interrupt anything by any chance?" He heard his father ask. He hissed loudly. He wasn't in the mood to exchange words with him at that point. He just wanted to get back to what he was doing before the call interrupted. "Just go straight to the point, I have to attend to something urgently."Miguel turned around immediately to stare at Ava. Her head was buried in her phone, and she seemed to be staring at something very important. He turned away from her once he noticed that

"It's so nice seeing you after a whole year."It's been a year since Anna and Alicia saw Linda. They travelled out of the country and only came back a few weeks ago. They decided to visit Linda today. They missed her so badly, and they were happy to be with her again. Mary walked out of the kitchen with a tray in her hand. There was a bottle of wine and four glasses on the tray. She placed it on the small table by the side of the couch and joined the girls. "You look slightly different. Massive change within a year," Alicia complimented as she stared at Linda. "Different in a bad way or in a good way?" Linda asked. She didn't know why she felt uncomfortable with the visit. Especially their weird comments since they walked into her sitting room. "In both ways. You lost some weight, which could be good or bad."Linda sighed deeply without saying a word. "We have been commenting with our ex-mates in school. We could not attend the get-together but we heard some things."Linda gulpe

Natasha straightened up her collar even though it didn't need to be straightened and when she wasn't satisfied, she ran into the bathroom built in her office to check herself out.It was finally the day for the final signing of the contracts, she had done a really good job keeping it away from her parents, she had planned to present the signed contract to them as a surprise and announce to them everything that has been going on if everything goes as planned.She smiled nervously as she looked into the mirror and let out several deep breaths."Everything is already finalized, what is the point of being nervous?" She asked while slapping her face to get rid of all the nervousness and swelling in her face.She took in a deep breath before she walked out of the bathroom. Her eyes moved to the wall clock, the investors would soon be there, it was left for her to put on her best business apparel and show them the stuff she was made of.Although she knew there was no need for all the poise a

It was the weekend already, and Henry was expecting Natasha. He went around, instructing the maids on what to do as they cleaned the house. Madame Gu had left on a business trip the previous day, and she would not be back until after three days. Henry had the whole house to himself. "Take the flowers and place them behind the other chair."Henry walked around the sitting room, spotting things and trying to picture where they would look better. "This flower pot looks old. Take it behind. Bring the other one behind forward... it has nicer flowers."He darted his eyes around the sitting room and sighed satisfactorily. He noticed that the pillows and some of the couch towels needed to be changed. "This towel needs to be washed. Take them away and replace them right away."He moved to the kitchen. The maids were doing a very good job there. They had cleaned up the kitchen and arranged it. There was no correction for him to make. He sighed. They were already preparing a banquet to welc
