"This dress is very beautiful, or what did you think about it?." Claudia asked Moore who was operating his phone. She was checking out some dresses on her phone while laying her head on his laps. He bent his head and looked at it. "It is very beautiful but too revealing, it is short and a slit." He said with a little frown on his face. "I think this dress is so perfect and simple for a lady like me." "No I don't like it, if you put it on guys will eat you up with their seductive eyes." He argued further, Claudia lifted her head from his laps and laughed out. "Why are you laughing?." He asked. "You look so cute when you are jealous." She teased. "No I'm not jealous, just trying to point out errors in this dress, it won't even look good on you." He defended himself. "Don't deny that fact, we both know you are jealous." She argued. "Okay fine, I'm jealous." He admitted, Claudia jumped on him. "I was only teasing you, didn't have the intention of buying the dress. It is too revea
Claudia looked at everyone one after the other. Georgia, Frank, Justin and Moore has a smile on. That was the position she has been yearning for ever since she became an adult. "I think everyone wants me to accept this offer. I'm sorry to say that, I won't be able to accept it." She said her decision. All attention shifted to her. "Why did you do such a thing?, you really want this Claudia, I don't know why you are rejecting it just like that." Georgia chimed in. "Is there anything you are not telling us?." Frank asked. "What's the point of accepting the offer when I would still be controlled by Alfred? Grandfather doesn't trust me with his company at all, Thank God I have my own company." She explained. "At least you will still bear the title "CEO" in the family company." Georgia tried to convince her. "No I don't want that." She replied and faced Derek. "Thank you for everything you ve done for me Grandfather, I really appreciate it. After everything that has happened I really
Moore came out of the bathroom with his hair dripping water. Claudia sat on the bed staring at nothing in particular. Last night ended on a sad note as there were division on the decision she made suddenly. He noticed that and decided to ask what the problem was. "Is everything okay? I left you in a happy mood." He questioned, Claudia raised his head and looked at him."Nothing is fine. Uncle is right I don't think it is advisable for me to stand on my own without grandfather's assistant." She said in a sad tone."When did he discuss that with you?." He asked in surprise."He said that to me yesterday night, I really want to do it alone but I have no tangible share holder. I need to apologize to him and get back to work in his company maybe I am not destined to have a company of my own." She negatively said."That's not true, you can become great in your own company. If you truly want to achieve your dreams then you have to stop listening to people who pretend as if they care. I don
Moore sat on his seat working on a file when a knock was heard."Come in." He permitted, Loveth came in."Good morning sir, you sent for me." "Yes I did. I noticed the wares in the warehouse is not upto quarter of what the customers want. Why isn't there a capital to buy those goods? How did you intend to go about it?." He questioned."We ve used to capital to buy the little goods in there and about the customers. We do ask them to pay half of their money before delivery and on the day of delivery they will pay the balance but sometimes it changes as they do come up with one excuse or the other, we had to pay some debt from our purse, the formal boss also embezzled a lot of money. Right now, I think the only thing we can do is to ask them to come back some other time."she explained in details, he was surprised."No we don't have to do that, what if they go somewhere else and they get treated nicely, that means we ve lost customers and their referrals." "I know that but there is not
Edward was getting tired of the tension. "What about asking your husband to apologize first? He bumped into us without saying sorry to us." He defended strongly."You guys intentionally bumped into him, if you want the evidence then I can ask the manager to show us the footage." Claudia said, Edward was trapped, he leaned closer to Fiona and whispered something into her ears."I'm very sorry for what happened and I promise not to do that again." Fiona forced herself to apologize."That's fair enough, Moore are you satisfied with her apology?." She asked."I'm not satisfied yet, which means I'm still looking for a way to deal with her and her so called boyfriend but for now I'm good with it." Moore replied with a smile."That's fine, we should all go back to our shopping it is really a great watch." One of the customers said, they started leaving one after the other until it remains the four of them.Claudia took Moore's hand and they walked in between them but they could not say anyth
Moore's phone beeped, he took it off the table. "Excuse me please." He said to Claudia who was busy smiling, she responded with a nod."Good evening sir." Moore greeted."It seems you are with someone, I want to inform you that I have been at the location for the past one hour. Please consider me by coming faster I really want to go somewhere else." Andrian pleaded."Sh!t I totally forgot about the meeting. I will be there right now please forgive me for that." Moore quickly apologized and hung up the call."Who was that?.""It was Andrian my boss, he wanted me to come for some explanations concerning my work. I would also use the opportunity to talk about you." Moore stated."I guess he must have been busy in the day time, hope you won't get penalised for going late?." "He might pardon me as a new worker but I will try as much as possible not to go late next time." "Do you think he will listen to you?." She asked in a worried tone."Don't doubt anything, let's have faith in ourselv
"What should we do now?." Jedidiah asked in a harsh tone. "I don't think we can do anything for now." Gilbert answered and shook his head. "Gosh, I don't know why I got myself into this mess, I should have just resist his offer. The alcohol I drank must be too much." She blamed herself while sitting on the bed. Gilbert squatted to her level. "You don't have to blame yourself for what happened, he might have spike your drink that day. Do you want me hand over all your properties to you now?." Gilbert pointed out, Jedidiah looked at him. "Why will you even give me that option? You knew how dangerous it is for me to have everything under my control now. Hold on to it until everything will be sorted out." She stated. "I really want to grab his neck and strangle it." She added with a dreadful look. "You will have the chance to do it later but not now, make sure you don't cause any trouble and remain where I will assign to you." "Don't worry I will make sure things goes well for a whi
The couple walked in, Moore fell on the bed straight away. "You must be very tired from working all day and my uncle stopped you with unnecessary talks." "Don't mind him he is just been too heady." He replied."So what about where you went to?." She asked while sitting next to him on the bed.Moore raised himself on the bed and sat down. "I don't even know how to tell you this but...""But what??? What really happened? Please tell me?.". She questioned in worry."Seriously, I don't know how to tell you what he said but whatever it is don't be sad and there is no harm in trying somewhere else." Moore stated in a sad voice, tears rolled down from her eyes."He rejected right? I know he would do that because I refused to date him back then." She said while sobbing."That's not the case because he has accepted to partner with your company." He announced in a loud voice. Claudia looked at him indifferencly."Are you saying the truth or you just want me to feel better?.""That is the truth
Moore had sent the link of the video call to the two men they accepted."Good morning sir, I really appreciate your gesture towards me, you agreed to be of help immediately I dropped my proposal. "Your proposal was enticing and promising." Mr Grey complimented."I love how you analysed everything in a clear way, I would suggest we should meet somewhere to seal the deal with or what did you say Grey?.""I totally agree with you. Pick a date, prepare the necessary documents and inform us whenever you are ready." Grey said."Thank you sir, I will get back to you tomorrow sir, the document has been prepared but I need to cross check for any error." "Alright, see you later then." Mack said, the video call went off."Yes, I finally did it. I will get Claudia to check it out before meeting with them to ensure everything is in place." He said to himself and rolled his office chair happily.A knock was heard on the door. "Come in, he permitted." The door opened, Loveth came in."Sorry to dis
Moore came out of the bathroom with a towel tied on his waist, he stretched out and groaned. The couch he slept on aches him a lot, it persists even after taking a bath. He didn't know he would feel pains because that was his bed then.Moore tried to stretch out his body to function properly for the day's work.Claudia came out of the dressing room fully dressed in her office wear. She stopped and wanted to say something but decided against it and walked out."She is too arrogant to apologize after what she has done, it's fine. We shall see how everything will end." He muttered as he watched her leave the room.Frank looked up and saw Claudia descending from the stairs with a frown on her face, the smile on his face disappeared."Good morning Dad." She greeted and hugged him."How are you my angel?." "I'm fine Dad." She replied with a forced smile, they disengaged from the hug."You don't seem okay to me, tell me what the problem is." He said, she put up a deceiving smile."There is
Camila felt she had cried enough after almost five minutes of being in Moore's arms, by the time she pulled out his shirt was already drained in tears and sweats."Are you okay now?." He asked, she nodded and flashed a smile."Please pass me my laptop we need to get back to our discussion, we don't have much time." She said."You are one of the strongest girl on earth." He complimented while passing the laptop but she doesn't seem to go well with that."Why not the strongest girl in the world." She queried."I have three girls on my life. Mum, you and my wife so don't feel jealous because you have strong girls around." He explained in a funny way, Camila laughed at him explanation."Mum is a woman but a girl." "You are wrong, I haven't seen her in years so she is still a girl to me." Camila laughed again. "That's enough, you are really funny." She said admist of laughter."Keeping smile on my girls faces is the voluntary work I choose and love." "Awwn, that's so sweet my kid brothe
Moore woke up around 1 : 00am to get some water from the fridge, he didn't want to get it at first but the thirst was more than the normal one. Sluggishly and sleepily he dragged himself downstairs. On climbing down the stairs, he went into the kitchen, opened the fridge and brought out the water, he was pretty much awake. His eyes met with a flash drive laying on the floor in the living room. "Who could be owner of this?." He questioned and bent to pick it up. "Whosoever owns it will speak up in the morning." He said to himself and walked to his room. The next morning, Moore woke up very early to know who owns it, everybody came down and went back without showing any sign of looking for something. After waiting for an hour, he stood up and went back to sleep. His alarm clock woke him up. "Sh!t, I'm late for work." Moore cursed, jumped out of bed, adjusted his clothes, carried his briefcase which was already positioned on the bed beside him. He stormed out of the room, as he app
"Your time is up." Moore announced and looked at Camila."Each time I ask myself that question, sadly enough, I always get the same answer. Don't judge me by what I'm about to way, I still love Brooke so much but the memory of how he treated me is still fresh." She answered reluctantly."I'm not going to judge you because of your decision. Do you really want to be happy again?." "Yes I do." She answered almost immediately."Then you need to accept him back. With the way I saw him this morning, I had a feeling that he had changed, you both love each other." He tried to talk her out, tears flowed down her cheek."It hurts so much Moore, I was almost freezed to death, did little works just to survive. It was hell for me, there was a time I wanted to commit a suicide." She explained in tears."You know, revisiting the previous mistakes can cause everlasting sadness. Please, you need to accept him back into your life, I promise to be responsible for anything he will do to you." Moore stat
"How long did you plan to hide your marital life away from me?." Moore suddenly asked, Camila dropped her spoon in surprise."I'm not hiding it from you it just that the right time to talk about it is not here yet." She replied with a tint on of sadness in her tone."When did you intent to tell me then? Do you want to remain sad for the rest of your life? If you don't share your problems to me who did you want to share it to? I'm I really your brother because if truly I am then you shouldn't hesitate to tell me." He bombarded her with questions angrily, Camila felt sad by his words. They both became silent."I'm sorry please give me more time, I promise to tell you everything." "When will that be? Don't you know you are killing yourself inwardly? You ve never laughed or smiled genuinely not until today. Is that how you want to keep living your life? If you go back to that house, the only thing you will do is to cry and think, is that how it should be?." Moore slammed at her in increa
Leo suddenly raised his eyes to Gilbert. "If by tomorrow you didn't confess then you will be killed, you know me too well, that I would never go back on my words." He conditioned and made to leave but he remembered how he came, so he quickly dressed properly and headed out. "If only I didn't get into fight with him then this wouldn't have happened. How will I confess to what I didn't do?." Gilbert said in regrets. Leo got into the car, the two men who were inside the car looked around for any suspicious activity but they saw none. "Coast is clear, move." One of them commanded the driver, he ignited the engine and zoomed off almost immediately. "What are you going to do concerning the picture you took??" Derek asked Justin who was working on a file. "Just keeping it for the right time." He replied without looking at him, his concentration was fully on the file. "Don't bother about that, this is the right time for you to delete that thing. Do you even know how dangerous he is?." D
Brooke was reluctant to stand. "Get out." Moore growled in fury, it was louder and stronger than the first one. Brooke sprung up immediately."What have I done wrong? We were having a gentle and cool conversation few minutes ago." He tried to talk him out but Moore wasn't having it."Are you alright? What gave you the audacity to come into my office and talk your nonsense. You are the f**l my sister about, you are nothing but an animal." He yelled out once again, Brooke became more afraid and remorseful."I am very sor..." "I have had enough of your plead and stupid words." Moore cut him off and buzzed the security men."Please help me, I really love your sister." "No you don't, if you really do then you wouldn't have taken the children there and also send her out of the house. You are very wicked and I won't ever forgive you." "Please don't treat me the way I behaved. Don't think I didn't do anything before resulting to you. She always broke the lines I used in calling her but sti
"Are you serious?." Moore asked in shock."Yes, she must have told you about me but please I would love to explain myself." Brooke quickly cut in before he could speak further."Oh I see, to begin with. How did you get to know I was close to her? Who do you think I am to her? How did you even get to know me?." Moore asked curiously. Although, he shouldn't be curious but the fact that nobody knew there were siblings baffles him."I saw you both countless times, one day I heard her call you her little brother and I strongly believe that you can help us solve the pending problem." Brooke answered truthfully."Have you been spying on us?." "I'm sorry but I have been spying on both of you." He confessed, Moore chuckled."I love truthfully people. You can now go on with what you are here for and make sure you didn't leave out anything, and if you do there is a severe punishment for it." He permitted bad warned while sitting back to make sure he missed anything."I got married to Camila wh
