"That was close!" Elise exclaimed "Yea it was" Junior concurredIt was the start of a new week and they were both sitting in Junior's office, he had just finished telling her about his encounter with Jasmine"Some people never change, I guess. Money seems to be the only language that can make them nice" Elise said"Yes and it's really sad" Junior said while shaking his head"By the way, I didn't know you like going to bars" Elise commented"I don't, not really. I prefer staying in door at weekends" Junior said"So this weekend was an exception then" Elise said"No. I went there for a reason" Junior said"And what's the reason?" Elise asked"I went there to meet with Bianca White" Junior answered"Who's Bianca White? Is she a new business partner?" Elise questioned"No. She's Xavier's fiancee" Junior statedElise couldn't believe what Junior just said, she was in shock, she was feeling so many emotions at the same time that she didn't know how to reactShe didn't say a word either,
Elise marched straight to her office after leaving Junior's office. She stormed into her office with an intense and agitated energyHer face was flushed, and her eyes were blazing. She kept muttering to herself, clenching and unclenching her fistsAs she got in, she tried to sit but felt restless, she kept pacing back and forthShe was still pacing when she heard a knock on her door"Come in" Elise said"Hello Miss Elise. Is everything okay? You look worried" Elise's secretary saidElise didn't know what to say at first. There was no way she would tell her secretary it seemed she was jealous of a woman their boss was talking to, she decided to use work as an excuse"Hi there. No, not really. We had a setback with the new project we're working on" Elise said"I'm sorry to hear that. What happened?" Her secretary asked"We received some unexpected news from the client, and now we have to change our approach to the project" Elise responded"Oh no. What's the new plan?" Joy, Elise's secre
It was the third day of the week And Elise was still acting weird around him. Junior didn't know what to thinkElise didn't respond to his texts, or emails, not unless they were work relatedHe had tried inviting her out for a drink after work, but she declined, she claimed she had plansHe decided that they grab lunch together at work, but she came up with another excuseAnd she didn't initiate contact either. If it wasn't work related, Elise didn't try to contact him Elise mostly seemed distant or disinterested when they were together and they had nothing work related to talk aboutAlso, she didn't make eye contact and seemed uncomfortable around him"Have I done something wrong? Or could it be that Elise was actually jealous? But why? Could it be that she was having the same conflicting feelings as he was?" Junior asked himself"Junior, are you available to discuss the new project?" Elise askedJunior, who was lost in his thoughts, slowly turned his head towards her. He had for
"Put your head on my shoulder, hold me in your arms…" That was the sound of Junior's phone ringing. Junior had never felt so glad to hear his ringtone, it was Elise calling him with her office number"Sorry, I need to take this" Junior said to Bianca"It's fine, go ahead" Bianca replied"Hello, what's up?" Junior asked"Hi, Junior. It's me, Elise" Elise said on the other end of the phone"Hey, I know it's you. What's up?"Junior repeated"I just realized that I forgot to remind you to sign some important documents before leaving the office.I wanted to let you know and see if you could come back soon and take care of it" Elise said"Oh, I see. Thanks for letting me know. Yes, those documents are crucial. It would be best if i come back to the office and sign them as soon as possible" Junior said"I apologize for the oversight. But you don't need to come right away though, I just wanted to notify you so you don't spend too much time where you are" Elise said "It's no problem, It happ
It was the D-Day Junior stood in front of his mirror to access his outfit once more. He had on a well-tailored suit that fits him perfectly, it wasn't as expensive as the Armani he had worn the other day, but it would doThe suit was a navy colored one and he had on a blazer and matching trousers. The Blazer had a structured silhouette and was buttoned up Inside, he wore a crisp, long-sleeved dress shirt made of high-quality cotton. The color of the shirt was a classic shade of light blueThe shirt was neatly tucked into his trousers, and his cuffs were fastened with cufflinks for an added touch of sophisticationJunior rearranged his tie. It was a silk-blend tie that complements the colors of his suit and shirt and was tied in a neat and professional knot, and was just the right length, reaching the top of his trousers' waistbandHe wore tailored trousers that matched his suit jacket, and was a straight fit. It was worn at his natural waist and was neither too tight or too loose.
"You know, you remind me of myself, or should I say you remind me of who I used to be" Junior said to Bianca"A hopeless romantic?" Bianca asked teasingly"Yes, that's one of the many things I was" Junior said"What changed?" Bianca asked"Life. Life happened and changed a lot of things, I was forced to see reality" Junior replied"Well, your answer is quite vague, but I won't ask for clarification. People shouldn't be judged based what their family members have done" Bianca replied"I am not judging him, I'm just trying to look out for you" Junior responded"I really appreciate that, but it's not necessary. Xavier is a hard-working young man, he's honest and he's simply trying to sort out his own path, I wish people would see past his family sins and see the potential in him" Bianca said"Well, if he's really all you say he is, I wish you both well" Junior said"Thank you" Bianca said, a smile on her beautiful face"So, when's the wedding?" Junior asked"We haven't fixed a date yet"
"Absolutely not!" Elise said"Why? She could be of assistance" Junior replied"In what way? From what you've said, it's obvious she's head over heels in love with him. She wouldn't be able to reason properly" Elise retorted"We can't be certain until we try. Bianca is probably going to end up being a victim of Xavier's scheme if we don't notify her" Junior said"We will tell her, but not just yet. We have no solid proof against Xavier" Elise said"We do. You're a living proof. Xavier has been begging you to go out with him, even if that doesn't change her mind completely, atleast, it will gain her attention" Junior said"And then what? It's going to be my word against Xavier's and we both know who to place our money onShe won't believe us. Xavier's just going to tell her I'm responsible for the downfall of his parents and now, I'm trying to bring him down too and she'll believe himAnd then, you're going to have to reveal yourself. And if Xavier finds out who you are, our whole plans
Junior stared blankly at his computer screen. It had been almost an hour since Elise left to meet up with XavierShe had promised to keep him updated and text him the address where Xavier had asked her to meet him but she hadn't sent anythingJunior felt restless. Was Elise okay? A part of him knew physically hurting Elise was something really stupid and even Xavier wouldn't be that stupid, but still, he felt really worriedHe considered calling her, but decided against it. Elise was a strong woman, she could look after herself, besides, it's just been an hour, it's possible she was yet to locate the placeMany thoughts kept flashing through Junior's mind, suddenly his phone rang, without looking at the caller ID, he answered"Elise! What happened? I've been worried sick about you. Are you okay?" Junior asked"Woah, slow down" the person on the other end of the phone replied with a light laugh"This isn't Elise. Who is this?" Junior asked"No, this is not Elise and as for your questio
