From Grass to Grace CHAPTER 9
Earl Mayor had heard of a new shipping company while he was still out of the country doing business. He wondered why the sole entrepreneur had not reached out to him but had made plans to open his business. He had kept wondering if he didn't know the procedures which included talking to the top models of a particular business one wanted to do to get advice that would help build theirs. It was the young owner's loss not his after all. Why would that bother him? He had determined not to grace the occasion with his presence as he wasn't given an invite and that on its own was not business-like for the city of Los Angeles.Not until two days before the opening ceremony did he finally get an invite packaged with an apology which was a relief to him as his proof was already getting hurt. Unlike other companies, he wouldn't have gone for the opening but this company held a future for him. He would nurture REBIRTH to his taste and use it to benefit himself as well. Surprisingly, he found o

Jake knocked at Seff's door and waited patiently for it to be opened."You again!" He heard the familiar voice scoff at him. "Good evening ma'am, it's me again but I came in the evening so I won't disrupt your plans". He asked, making her stifle a laugh. "Come on in, we were about to have dinner and now you'll take Seff away from the table right? ""Gracious me! I seem to always come at the wrong time" Jake said, faking a frown and putting his hands on his chest. "You are so cheesy. Remain at the door if you so wish" She said and left the door open for him to make his choice to either come in or not. "Who is that? " Jake overheard Seff's voice and walked in after Sanaya. "It's your friend who doesn't have a happy home, looks like his wife finally sent him packing" She smirked glancing back at Jake and Jake felt a little pang of pain at the comment. "She did that four months ago." He responded by trying to get her hurt. Sanaya stopped in her tracks and turned back to him slowly

"Let's talk in the study before someone finds out that her most admired model is her enemy," Seff said laughing and Jake laughed alongside him."Funny thing is that she'll still find out sooner or later," Jake said and Seff nodded affirmatively."I hope I'll be there to see the look on her face, it will be precious," Seff said laughing as they walked into his study room together."You've done well, Jake. I should apologize for missing your opening ceremony but trust me I watched every single detail of it on the News. " Seff told Jake. "Well, I missed it too. So… " And they both burst out laughing. "I think I should be secretive too about our partnership because I can't say for real who is the enemy and who is not. So, let's have each other's back without the public's knowledge, trust me, it'll go a long way. " Seff said, stretching out his hands for a handshake. "I'm all in, boss," Seff replied, shaking the outstretched hands."So, how has business been? Any contact from the Mayors

"Good morning boss." The head of the workers said into the phone."Yeah. How was the trip? What's the report?" Jake asked the worker."It was successful, sir. We arrived with the ship this morning and the goods are being transported into the delivery vans.""That's good news. Every financial record is sent to me directly and not through the manager. Okay?" He ordered."Yes sir. I'll send them immediately when we are done with delivery.""Good. I'll be waiting for your call and report." Jake said and hung up before sitting on his chair.He missed his children as it has been months. He just wanted to see their faces again and encourage them that he didn't leave them.For the first time, Jake thought of spying on his children as they were taken to school. He got up into his car and hwy had tinted windows and began his stalk.He arrived at the Mayor's house and parked some feets away from their gate as he waited for the car his kids usually used to drive to school.It didn't take long for

Jake stood at the gate of Samara's house and pressed his car horn to alert her of his arrival first before he walked up to the gate to escort her to his car.The sight of Samara in a simple lilac gown stunned him and brought him out of the disturbing thoughts he had been having since the day before when he read that text message.He watched her walk gracefully, down the steps to meet him and he smiled widely."What have my eyes done to deserve beholding the sight of such beauty." He commented and Samara smiled."You are always complimenting me. Even when I'm in a simple gown like this, don't you ever give up?" Samara was blushing."It is a simple gown indeed as I can't take my eyes off you because of how simple it is. You look stunning ma'am. You are bound to destroy the hearts of many and give sleepless night stop the poor in heart." He said stretching his hands to her and she laughed heartily before putting her own hands in them."Please, let's go. You never lack lines to impress a

"Their house is so beautiful, look at those beautiful flowers. They have good taste. " Samara kept admiring Seff Newton's house as she stepped down from the car after laughing at Jake's lost stares at Sanaya. "Yes, it is indeed one beautiful place. I have not yet gotten used to the beauty that hits me each time I step into this compound. " Jake responded agreeing with her and she smiled back at him as the beautiful lady approached them. "That's the popular Sanaya Newton, right?" Smart asked as she watched her approach them with a beautiful and genuine smile that brightened up her face in the illuminated lights. "Hello Mr. Jake." Sanaya greeted Jake with this sudden sly intonation that made Jake wonder what he had done right that day to deserve her politeness and good words. "Hello Sanaya. I bet you are in a good mood today and that's the only reason you've not reminded me that I don't have a happy home." Jake said trying to bring her out of her polite nature and reveal her to Sama

"That was my convocation ceremony. Seff was the most overactive and overprotective family member present. He didn't allow me out of his sight and greeted all my colleagues with me. I felt like I was in primary school graduation and not a convocation." Sanaya told her and they both laughed."That's sweet, you know. Having a brother who looks out for you." Samara said recalling that hers was nothing to write him about when it came to family members. Michael wasn't at all interested in her endeavors since the day she had left him."You have a brother too?" Sanaya asked her and she smiled."Yes, but I'm the elder and he isn't as lovey dovey as your brother." Samara told her."Have you tried acting the bigger sister?" Sanaya asked her again and she smiled. "We had our disagreements when we were younger but he never forgave me no matter how I pleaded later on. So, he hasn't given me a Chance to act like one as he always acts that he was fine and capable of taking care of himself." Samara s

"Working for Jake?" Sanaya asked and the whole table went silent."Well, what I mean is that, Jake has …" Samara stammered begging Jake with her eyes to save her but Seff had his head so focused on his meal as if the food suddenly was a very interesting case of study."Michael is helping me in my work with Seff actually. I don't know why she's so sensitive about that." Jake said, eyeing Samara and saving her the stress of explanation.Samara whispered a "Thank You' to Jake before she returned to her food. But with the look on the face of Sanaya, she wasn't believing, she placed her spoon on the desk and whipped her lips with the table whipper, but is there something someone isn't telling me?Jake was about to place his spoon in his mouth, but he held it back. At the end of Sanaya's statement, there was total silence in the background.Why is Sanaya so sensitive? Does she sense something? Does she have a magic power? To detect lies and facts, this girl is becoming something else' and
