Abigail didn't need a prophet to tell her that Hailey didn't have friends. But why? Abigail thought. "Hey, let's do some shopping and after that, you can come to my house for some tea if you don't mind," Hailey said, she wanted to build a meaningful bond between them"That would be cool" Abigail responded with excitement, she was glad, and she wanted that same thing, she wanted a friend who sees her as a friend and not because of her status as the heiress of the famous Darius family"Great then," Hailey said and smiled warmly at her"Would you be free tomorrow?" Abigail inquired"Em…" Hailey said as she brought out her phone to check her schedule"From 2:30 tomorrow, I'd be free," Hailey said"You know, work and stuff" She added"Okay, can I meet you up at your place cause I'm not too sure if the tea party would be possible," Abigail said, she wanted to hang out more with Hailey, so she wouldn't mind canceling today's tea partyAfter 3 hours of shopping and talking, Hailey paid for w
Lee drove into the compound, so he decided he talk to his dad on the phone, he had successfully convinced Alex, and he was sure that he can convince his dad too."I sent you a message, and you haven't responded yet" Lee complained, he sent his dad a text message about his idea of taking Alex out for a small outing"No son, I've been really busy" Mr. Kim replied"Where are you dad, I'm outside Alex's mansion," Lee said as he scanned the area in search of the car his dad usually drives"I'm heading towards Alex's mansion now, just wait for me there," Mr. Kim said as he hung up the phone and drove straight to Alex's mansion. The estate was a bit complicated, it had lots of beautiful gardens and an outsider would think that it was a small town or sort because the compound was very big, awesome, and beautiful. As Mr. Kim drove closer to Alex's mansion, he spotted his son leaning on a black Bugatti"Hey," Lee said as he saw his father"What is it that you want to tell me," Mr. Kim asked, he
James excitedly got dressed, he was glad he took today as a day off."How can I work so much but still I'm not given what rightfully belongs to me," James thought. James briskly walked out of his room and down the stairs as he made his way out of the house. After entering his car, he drove straight to the address Mark and Andrea sent to himAfter driving for over forty minutes, James finally got to his destination. He pulled his phone out of his pocket and dialed Mark's number"Hello," He said immediately. Mark answered the call"I'm outside..." James said and hung up. In not less than 1 minute, Mark walked outside a bar with Andrea trailing behind him, "Hey, you made it," Andrea said as he walked closer to James and hugged him tightly"Yeah, of course," He replied"I wouldn't want you guys to have all the fun" James added, which caused Mark to giggle"Come on, let's go in," Andrea said "Is this a party?" James inquired, he could hear loud music, cheering, and lots more"Yeah! It i
Alex rolled his eyes as he saw the curious expression of his friend, Alex knew exactly what Lee wanted to know, and he sincerely didn't want to tell him anything, he wanted Lee to assume for some time before he would tell Lee what they spoke about, and he anticipated the disappointed expression he will get from Lee immediately he tells him that they were talking about a small foundation for the poor"Hey, are you not going to tell me what happened," Lee asked"Alex, are you serious right now," Lee said as he trailed behind him"Ok, ok. I will tell you but just don't feel too disappointed" Alex said"Okay..." Lee replied"I bumped into her and well, that girl is intimidating." Alex paused, and he entered his car and Lee also rushed into the car"It's like she built her wall so that some random guy wouldn't distract her from her goal," Alex said"So..." Lee was curious and what Alex was telling wasn't what he wanted to hear, he was interested in something else. "I invited her to my off
Abigail stared aimlessly at the roads as the car continued to move, it was winter season, so Abigail was putting on a blue leather coat, she clinched it tightly as she tried to vent her frustration on the lifeless coat. James and Abigail didn't say anything to each other, Abigail ignored James. It was like he didn't exist at the moment and James did the sameAfter hours of driving, the car finally stopped in front of a big mansion, it was very beautiful, and the garden could be easily seen from outside the mansion. Abigail rushed out of the car and three maids and a butler rushed to help them carry their bags, it didn't take Abigail three minutes to locate her room "Finally, I miss this scent," Abigail said as she lay flat on the bed with a grin on her face ***Earlier today, Abigail had left the house to meet Hailey, Hailey sent her the address in the morning before she left for work because she knew that she might get occupied and forget that she hadn't sent Abigail her address,
Abigail stared at him with a puzzled expression, she didn't know what was so funny that made Theodore laugh"No," He said"She hates disappointing people, and she loves to keep to time," Theodore said"Oh" "Abigail, you're the only person outside work, that Hailey has brought to this house, and I'm glad," Theodore said "Like what I mean is that I'm sick of seeing actors and actresses with Hailey can't she try and make friends outside work," Theodore said "I know that she didn't mean to disappoint"Abigail nodded with a smile, Theodore's words were encouraging and it made sense "Thank you," Abigail said as she left the house. Theodore was glad that he was able to talk to her about it for a few minutes. Abigail got home to her parents and, surprisingly, James was already home. Well... Abigail wasn't too surprised because James left since morning and coming back home right now was only very fair, but she didn't know James to be that kind of person. "Perfect" Mrs. Darius said with a
"Come in," Abigail said as she heard the knock on the door.She was lost in deep thought, but the sound of the knocking jolted her back to reality.A lot was just happening.Her issue with her family and the visit to Hailey’s place.Her family was her all, she was meant to support them in any way she can but thinking about the past few days, she felt she had disappointed them."How are you sweetie," Mrs. Darius said as she walked close to her and sat down on the bed "I'm fine, Mom," Abigail said, Seeing her mother sit beside her, she felt a wave of guilt wash over her.“The past few days I have been selfish, I didn't even think about my mom, my brother, and how they feel” she murmured but she excluded the period when she was asked to use her body to trade for a stupid DNA result which she still felt was wrong, but apart from that, she wished she had assisted them in some ways And that she had made up her mind to do."How are you doing?" She took a deep breath, gazing at the woman
“James, it’s you” he forced a smile, pushing the feeling aside “I shouldn’t make things up unless he show it to me”“Alex is a gold digger from my view,” someone said in a whisper Alex stared at the owner of the voice Making sure to register his face in his memory, as he wasn’t going to keep calm forever."Time indeed can change a situation," James thought as he smiled inwardly, He noticed, as soon as he stepped in, that something was going on, but he couldn’t place his hand on it until what he just heard.This was what he had long expected and every time, he had wondered why it wasn’t happening, but right now, he felt his stomach drum in satisfaction “It happens this slow but am glad it happened”"Good morning sir, good morning sir," The staff all chorus as they bowed their head in greeting, making sure to accord him so much respect in other to make Alex jealous and pass the information that he wasn’t welcome in the empire.The noisy room soon became pin-drop silent. As James
