Natasha must have woken up from the good side of the bed that morning because she seemed exceptionally in a good mood.Especially as one of the first things her eyes caught was the teddy bear sitting by her bed. It had been among the birthday packages Henry had sent to her and she could not help but blush at the thought of it. She could not help but wonder what could have inspired him to give her those gifts.As Natasha got out of bed, she had a slight smile on her face, then she remembered that she had not gotten the chance to thank Henry properly for the gift after her birthday party.She knew she had thanked him at the party, but she didn't think that was enough. She made up her mind that she would find the time to do it.This was the third day after her birthday party and she had taken a very short break from going to the office with the approval of her parents. She could hardly describe it as taking a break from work since she was still working from home. But it felt good to not

"If I notice for one that you are doing something else, Ava," Benedict threatened. Ava hissed. Shs stood up to her feet and walked towards his table. They were both seated in his study. While he was behind the table, she sat on the couch there listening to him speak. There was a bowl in front of Benedict, and there were two apples in the bowl. Ava picked one of the apples and walked back to the couch. Shs settled back on the couch, and bit from the apple, and faced Mr Benedict again. "What makes you think I'm doing something else? Why can't you just trust me?" She questioned. Benedict stood up from the chair. He felt like the table in front of him was blocking him from Ava. He grabbed the chair after the table and pulled it towards the couch. He sat on it and faced her. "Are you really not doing something else?" He asked and grabbed Ava by her jaw. She slapped his hands off. "I wouldn't be here if I'd decided to breach the agreement," Ava told Benedict. "I don't know why you s

On her way back home, Natasha asked the driver to stop by the cosmetic shop so that she could get some cosmetics for herself. She knew she would have asked one of her maids to get it for her later, but she chose to get it since she was passing by that way anyway.When she was done shopping, she went over to the cashier to pay when she suddenly heard a voice behind her.She turned around to see the unfamiliar face of a guy staring back at her with a smile on his face.'Who could he be?' Natasha asked herself inwardly since she could not recognise him."I'm sorry, but do I know you?" Natasha asked with her brows raised.The young man shook his head slowly, he still had a bright smile on his face."Actually, we've not met and I wasn't expecting you to know me. It's just that, I had been watching you from a distance all the while when you were shopping. I must confess that you are really beautiful and I thought that I needed to get familiar with you." He muttered.Natasha rolled her eyes.

Benedict and Miguel sat in different couches facing each other. The large screen of their television was turned on, but none of them concentrated on what was being displayed on the screen. Miguel's attention was on his phone while his father's gaze was fixed on a newspaper. Miguel was going through photos from Natasha's birthday when he suddenly stopped. He saw Natasha stealing glances at Henry. He also noticed the way Henry stared at her in most of the photos. "Dad," he called as he suddenly sat up and moved to the edge of the chair.Benedict, who was also leaning on the couch, moved the newspaper to a corner. "What?" Benedict asked. He wondered why the kid was bothering him. "I just got a few pictures from Natasha's birthday," Miguel told his dad. "From?""From someone, look!""Come on, Miguel, those pictures are not even important."Miguel groaned as he stood up from the couch and went to sit beside his dad. "Have you seen the pictures yet? Don't act nonchalant about this

Natasha knew that what she had just said was a lie, it was more than her trying to get friendly with Henry, it was equally more than her trying to get along with him. She wanted to get closer to Henry, and this time around, it was not just about the company anymore. No matter how much she tried to make dinner or lie to herself, she still couldn't erase the fact that she may be falling for that arrogant man."Oh! Dear." Cassandra suddenly exclaimed as her eyes moved to the wall clock. "You must be running late for your date, I'm sorry for keeping you." Natasha rolled her eyes and shrugged her shoulders."It's not a date, mom." She quickly jumped into her defense. "We just had dinner together." Natasha said with a frown."Oh! Whatever." Mrs Bay exclaimed and waved her hand. "You can leave for your dinner now, we don't want to keep Henry waiting." Natasha rolled her eyes again and started walking out of the room."Wait," she suddenly heard her mother call and turned around."What, mom?
