May walked out of the elevator heading towards Mandy's office with a smile. She noticed the office door open and saw a familiar figure walk out of the office bearing a smile. “Timo?!” The man turned at the name and his smile widened as he saw May walking up to her. “May! A pleasure to see you here… well, I guess I will be expecting to see you here more often especially now that you are now in a partnership with the Ashers.” “What the hell are you doing here? Did you have a business with the Ashers?” “Ahh, yes. Came in a few minutes ago to meet up with the woman in charge.” “Well, I have work to do but it is nice seeing you early this morning.” May said. “Likewise.” Timothy replied. “Have fun and don't try to stress yourself too much.” May walked past Timo and headed towards the office door where she knocked softly before entering. Mandy looked at the door and saw May walking in with a smile on her face. “Looks like someone woke up on the right side of the bed this morning
Timothy was back at his office when his phone rang. Timothy looked at his ringing phone and broke into a small smile. He reached for it and answered. “So, what happened?” He asked into the phone. “Well, I asked her and she agreed.” Mandy's voice came through the phone. “Well, it was expected… and I must say, thank God that she did, if she had said no, it would have gone bad for us.” Timothy replied with a chuckle. “But she didn't even think about it. I just threw the question and she agreed. What if—.” “Don't worry about that Asher. If I am sure of anything, it is the fact that May hates Declan… even more than you.” Timothy said with a tone of confidence. “Think of everything she has been put through by him and what he has done to you… if anything at all then compare. She hates him as much as he should hate us… if not more.” “Well, I guess you are right. So I am hosting a party to announce your merging… a gala if you will and I suspect May will invite you to it.” “She mentio
The next night, which was the gala night, Mandy walked out of the house dressed in a red and black evening dress. She walked out of the gate towards a black that was parked outside with a young man leaning against it. “What about your folks? Aren't they coming?” Timo asked, watching as May walked up towards him alone. “They will be coming later on. I told them I would be leaving with you.” May replied. “You look beautiful tonight.” Timo said, stepping aside to open the door for her. “I really am a lucky man.” May blushed and looked away from him with a tinge of embarrassment in her heart. “You don't look bad yourself.” She said as Timo climbed behind the wheel. “I guess I don't.” He replied with a chuckle before starting the engine. “So,I don't suppose you know the venue of the gala?” “Of course I do. Just head for the Ashers industries. It's close from there.” May replied chuckling. During the drive, May pulled out her phone and stared at the screen that displayed Declan's
The next morning, Declan walked down the stairs while rubbing his eyes softly. He headed straight for the living room where he could hear the sounds from the television. “Good morning mother.” He greeted walking into the room. Elizabeth turned her head and watched Declan sit down opposite her. “Good morning Kazuka. Hope you slept well?” She asked with a soft smile. “Yes.” Declan nodded before turning his attention to the news on the television. “I saw the news. It seems the Ashers are enjoying their time alone.” Elizabeth said. “They are using May.” Declan balled his hands into fist. “They are actually smart… not like I didn't see that coming.” “Is that why you were awake last night? I remember it was already past midnight and the lights of your study were still on.” “Mother, you were meant to be resting. You might be better from your sickness but you need more rest before you are fully recovered.” Declan said, looking at his mother in worry. “I am fine.” Elizabeth waved
At breakfast that same morning, Declan dropped his cutleries on the table and hit a button beside a desk telephone to his left before reaching for his ringing phone. He stared at it for a few seconds before answering the call. “I believe this should be the guy sent to the Evans family.” “Y..yes sir.” A soft feminine voice came from the other end of the phone. “Ahh, so they sent a female.” Declan said, bobbing his head up and down softly. “What do you have for me? And why are you stuttering?” “Pardon me sir, but I had to sneak off to make this report. I am currently at the company now acting as the personal secretary of the heir.” “The personal secretary… you really are competent.” “Well, I have yet to figure out relevant information but Brock had told me to put attention towards Zendaya Evans.” “I am listening.” “Well, nothing has taken place here. The lady in question hasn't been seen around their family mansion. Some guards and employees said that she left to handle a serio
May looked up as Zita walked into her office, closing the door behind her. She had no recollection of seeing this woman before. “I don't think we have met yet.” Zita said, pulling out a chair to sit opposite May. “I am Zita Max.” “May Williams… I am sure you already knew that.” May replied with a small cautious smile. “Darling, you don't have to look at me like that. I have no ill feelings towards you.” Zita said with a chuckle. “What can I say? Besides, you can't blame me; it's not everyday a strange lady walks into your office without a prior appointment or meeting.” May replied and Zita shrugged. “So. How may I help you Miss Max?” “Please call me Zita. And you don't have to be that stuck up about my presence.” Zita replied. May shook her head with an unnoticeable grit of her teeth before rising from her chair. “Well, would you care to drink Zita? Perhaps whiskey or Vodka?” “Don't you have scotch wine?” Zita sighed. “I guess whiskey… and with ice.” May walked up to a win
CHAPTER 240. May leaned away from the door gripping the sides of her mouth tightly in shock trying to not make a sound. Taking another peek, she notices that Timo had dropped the phone in his hand before leaning back on his chair with a satisfied smile on his face. May exhaled before straightening her dress and rubbing her face a few times before raising her hand to the door and knocking. “Come in.” Timo said, not sparing a glance towards the door. “Did someone come to look for me?” “Ahem!” May cleared her throat attracting Timo's attention. He looked up at her and his eyes widened almost comically. “May… what are… wow… it's a surprise to see you here.” Timo stuttered in panic looking at the angry expression on May’s face. “Of course it would be a surprise especially since I didn't even know that such a place exists despite having been with you on how many dates?” May said, her voice seething with anger. “Wait, I don't really understand how you got here. How did you find th
“Hmm, didn't actually think that someone like him would be so eager to make a move already towards the other family.” Declan mused. “What are you talking about?” May’s voice came from the phone in his hand. “This isn't something you should meddle with… it isn't any of your—“ Declan paused before sighing softly. “Then again, I suppose that this is your business. You have been brought into this whether you like it or not.” “Declan, you need to stop talking around in circles. What is any of that supposed to mean?” “I am sorry to say this, but Timo wasn't the only one using you to get to me.” Declan said. “Wait, that is not possible. No one else should be using me against… no, the Ashers?” Declan broke into a small smile. “Actually someone else would have figured it out if she had heard the Ashers name from the mouth of someone using her.” Declan said. “So Mandy is using me? Why? You have nothing against her.” May said. He could feel the confusion in her voice. “That would be a
