Linda walked out of her room and met her mom, Mary and James, having dinner. She quickly joined them. They discussed and laughed excitedly. Linda wondered what they were gossiping about. "Next time, you will create space for me to go with you so that I can meet and mingle with the elites. Else, we would have very serious issues," Mary teased. Catherine smiled deeply. "Don't worry. We will see how to fix you next time. Just be ready to go with us."Mary laughed excitedly. "At least, I would get to meet the elites, too. Maybe I would even find a handsome young man to seduce and get something out of him. We could even become a thing."Catherine only laughed. After eating dinner, everyone went to their room to dress up so that they could leave for the ball. Mary went with Linda to pick her outfit. "I came running all the way here immediately after I got the call from your mom," Mary told Linda. She smiled and shook her head. "My mom is just something else. Who told her I could no

Linda sat behind the limousine as they drove back home from the ball, oblivious of her surroundings and the conversation going on between the other occupants of the car. She was reflecting on the events that transpired at the ball, which happened to be the same with the discussion going on."I thought that at least, since we were now partners with the Floater group, we would at least be treated like dignitaries at the ball." James hammered."I was hardly even recognised." Catherine fired amidst gritted teeth. "I was just treated like an ordinary guest."The conversation went on with everybody showing how irritated they were that the Guild family were made to look like ordinary guests at the ball.Linda could not help but dream about how they would have been treated if she had had ebook patience with Henry and had not listened to her mother and divorced him. She knew that Henry no longer gave a fuck about her, he showed it the day she went to his office to see him, she had been talking

Henry turned around to check what the time was, immediately after parking at the parking lot. He was all smiles. He stared at the front mirror and deepened his smile as he liked what he saw. He alighted from the car and began walking towards his office. He was still excited about what happened the previous day. Spending time with Natasha at the penthouse was one of the beautiful things that happened to him that week. As he walked towards the entrance of his company, his smile suddenly disappeared and turned into a worried expression. He had sighted his mom standing at a corner of the company. He rushed to her and stopped in front of her. She was on a call when her son approached her, and she quickly pressed the red button and faced her son fully. "What are you doing here?" Henry whispered with a furrowed brow. He shook his head and bit his lower lip. "I mean, why are you here so early in the morning? I haven't even had my seat yet."She turned her wrist around to check what the

Of course, he knew about the Floater family and how influencial they had been in the business world in the city. But he didn't know much about the said Henry Floater since he had been out of the country for a long time and had just returned to take over his family business fully."Are you sure this is not a transactional relationship? Like a business kind of thing, you know what I mean." Fred asked with his eyes narrowed.Aiden shrugged his shoulders."I am not sure about that." He said with a bit of hesitation evident in his voice. "I mean... It was, in the beginning." His voice got thicker with his last words."Not until recently though, I mean, after Natasha signed the top business deal that made her a big shot in the business world, she should have backed down a little bit, right?" There was a long pause after Aiden's words and both he and Fred sat there in silence trying to process the last information."And I also noticed they had been going out together a bit more often recentl

The rest of the day was a busy day for Fred in the office as he was trying to figure out how to kick off from where the company was while he was away.He was also trying to see how the company had been working and how he could get rid of things that weren't working and fix new rules.He also noticed some instabilities which he tried to fix that day. He was so busy to the point that he almost forgot about Henry and Natasha. By the time he was done, he was exhausted and asked his secretary to bring him tea.After a while, he heard a knock on his door. He knew that his tea had arrived."Come in," he called without finding out who was there.The door was slightly pushed open and Lewis came into the office, much to his disappointment because he was expecting his secretary with his tea."Is something up?" Fred asked without looking up.Lewis stepped forward and Fred immediately looked up, realising that it must be something important."Some men dropped by and requested to meet with you." Le
