Life After Divorce: The Rise Of Elijah Crawford Chapter 138
Winnie Carter rested her head on her car and shut her eyes. After a brief illness scare, she was finally returning to the office.It had nothing to do with the fact her aunt may return any day from now and would use every opportunity she could muster to make her look bad in front of her grandfather."Are you strong enough to return to the office?" John, her bodyguard, driver, and friend, asked.She didn't open her eyes but replied anyway."I've been working from home for a while now. Don't you think it's time I go into the office? Besides, I feel fine." She lied.Maybe physically, she did feel fine, but her heart was in shambles. There was such a thick mist of confusion in there that she could barely breathe sometimes."I've not seen Mr Elijah around lately," John said after a very brief silence.His tone was highly suggestive, making Winnie's closed lashes flutter. Another reason was the fact he had mentioned one of the culprits who had her deeply confused."Why? Didn't know you two a

"Good morning, Mrs." Echoed around the lengths of the lobby as Winnie Carter stepped into her company.As she raised her head to return the greetings of those she could, she caught some suspicious gazes. It was only when she was in her elevator, going up to her office, that she realized it was all because of the presence of Colin Trust beside her.She turned her face to him and found him smiling at her. "Your workers adore you." He said as if he had been waiting forever for her attention."Isn't that what makes a good employee-employee relationship?" She sounded modest."I guess. I'm more of a professional relationship-in-the-workplace kind of guy. Let's do what we came here to do and leave the familiarity outside the walls of my bank."Winnie couldn't help but be a little bit curious with him. The way he said the strictest things in the goofiest voice was captivating.There was also his very unusual eyes, which never showed the depths of whatever emotions he was experiencing at any g

Elijah found the house empty when he exited his room for water. He looked around the house, but there was no sign of anyone present.He was returning from Tobias' room when Snow strolled in casually."Hey." He stopped dead in his tracks."You're finally up." Snow stopped to chat."I've been up for a while." Elijah continued walking to the living room.Snow, who had come in to do something else, looked longingly at the entrance of Cleo's room. She had promised him a treat if he could deliver on the assignment she gave him. He had delivered and was now ready for his reward.Unfortunately, Elijah was present. He dragged his eyes painfully away from the door and returned to the living room with him."Whatchu up to?" He asked."Brainstorming." He chugged the water down his throat, emptying it.Snow waited until he was done before he spoke again. "Are you still mad at Cleo and Tobias?""Why do you always ask questions?" He frowned, plopping on a chair."Why do you never want to answer my qu

Elijah cracked his brain to find the best possible way to respond. It has to be Tiana, of all people, to answer his call. Where even was Rhonda?His mouth spoke before his brain thought. "Hey, Tiana? You're the one I wanted to speak to."He almost bit his tongue after he said that."Why would I ever want to speak to you? And let's say you wanted to. You could have easily gotten my number, no?" She hissed."True, true. But, I thought it would be better to go through Rhonda." He stuttered."Bullshit! Why won't you leave my family alone? Haven't we helped you enough? At what point do you become embarrassed?" She spat with so much venom that Elijah was ultimately tongue-tied.His toes began to dance on the carpet, anxious as to what to say next. There was no pleasing a woman like Tiana, not when she was hell-bent on not liking you."I have a proposal for you." Again, he spoke without thinking.She broke into a mocking cackle, sounding like a witch out for revenge. Elijah silently cu

"What the fuck is this!" Elijah pulled open his car, and got in.His hands gripped the steering, as he drove off. "Queen of the underworld now?" He muttered to himself, followed by some incoherent jumble.As he drove, mindless of his surrounding, he didn't notice the car behind him. He was about to swerve right, when the car brushed against his, speeding past him. "Oh fuck off!" He cursed, when he saw it was a police car.Coming to an abrupt halt, he waited for them to get to him. A knock on his window pane, had him rolling it down. When he whipped his head to the side, he found two faces he instantly recognized."Mr Elijah?" The very friendly detective Melbourne chirped."Detective Melbourne." He smiled, but it faltered when his eyes went to officer Jack beside him."Elijah." He said in a monotonous voice."Jack." Elijah mirrored his expression."How've you been? Crazy to run into you like this." Melbourne continued in his hyper tone."I'm in trouble again, aren't I?" He a

“What'd you mean, nobody? He almost brushed my car, driving the way he did.” She said.“He's not important. Let's forget him.” Elijah said as his eyes slowly lost the darkness.Cleo did not believe it was just nothing, but by the look of things, he didn't want to speak about it. She decided it was best to drop it.“Okay, I'm here now. What's up?” “Let's go in.” He said, briefly looking towards the road before moving his body forward.“You think this place is getting too exposed?” She asked as they went round the warehouse to the hidden entrance.“I know it is. They won't find the lab immediately, even if they look. We can't be too lazy about it, though. I'll think of an alternative soon.” “Okay.” She nodded as he pressed the buttons, and the door slid open for them to pass through.They made it into the escalator, going down to the lab.As it moved down, they both found solace in their thoughts.Elijah was pissed. He didn't know how great his life was going until an annoyance like K

“Are we going to get to the point of this ambush, or what?” Winnie directed at Nathan Luxe, who had spent way past an hour beating around the bush.As she did, her eyes went to the large clock directly on the wall facing her.By her calculations, John was supposed to be back so he could be on his way to deliver an important message on her behalf. She had neither heard from them, Aunt.The latter was not a bother. It would be nice if she never had to hear from him.“You're not listening to me.” Nathan countered in an argumentative tone.“Maybe you should explain your stance more clearly. I don't understand a thing either.” Colin, who had been quiet for a while, jumped.Nathan snickered. “This is not the time, Mr Trust. Why are you even here? This is between Winnie and I.” “That's Miss Winnie to you.” He corrected.“No, it's Winnie. She openly disregarded a contract we already had an agreement on. Because of her, I have to push back our annual art exhibition. Do you have any idea how
