They laid in each other's arm, their chest rising and falling with every breath they took. Stella had a bright smile laced to her brows.She turned her head towards Zen abruptly. "What are your plans now?" She said in a whispering voice that Zen had to strain his ears to hear."Plans? Why do you ask?" He snorted as he ran his hand through her hair. A frown was embedded unto his face as he stared beyond him."I don't know. I just thought to ask. You've changed so much and I seem to love it." Zen sighed, quite disappointed. He had thought she had something really important to talk about."Well, the business is what I'll be focusing on. We have a lot to achieve and we've got just little time.She was puzzled. "Little time? Are you planning on going somewhere?"You could see she was a little disturbed even though she kept her cool. "Nah. I'm heading nowhere. It's just the timeframe I had set for myself to have those things achieved and goodness, I haven't achieved up to an half of it.
The kitchen was a complete mess according to Stella but to Zen, it looked perfectly okay except for a few plates that weren't in order and some other things."Why can't we just have one of the maids make breakfast?" Zen queried, his lips Pouted awkwardly. He still wasn't cool with standing with her to make breakfast."No! Breakfast will be made by me if you do want one. If you aren't willing to follow the terms, then you might want to wait until you get to the office for your breakfast.Zen sighed in frustration. It wasn't like he had any choice here. He clasped his hands together and remained mute, his lips tightly pursed.Stella's feet moved with grace and elegance against the tiled floor as she sauntered to the other side of the kitchen where the cupboards were. Her ass swayed with every step she took, making it difficult for Zen to take his eyes off her."I'll be making some pasta this morning. I'm sure you're gonna love it." Zen wasn't entirely excited. To think he was forced t
Ariel stood with her hands clasped together. She wore a stern look and was dead serious. That was the most serious he had ever seen her. He switched his bag to his other hand and glared hard at her."What is it! Didn't I make it clear that I do not want to see you around me anymore.?" He snapped, his anger getting the better of him.She scoffed and moved closer to him. "I see you have forgotten the original plan and need to be reminded, right?" "What plan?" Zen shot back at her even though he knew exactly what she was talking about. A deep breath escaped from her lips. She was sick and tired of his lackadaisical attitude."The main was for you to take your revenge on Stella for what she did to you or do you need to be reminded all the time?" She clenched her hands into fists and stared right into his eyes.They were mute for a few seconds before Zen broke the silence with his laughter that irked Stella so much. "Would you blame me for all that? Haven't we been in all the fights toget
Zen straightened himself up at once and took a deep breath. His heart was thumping heavily against his chest and it seemed like it was going to explode from his chest."You should calm down Zen, remember you've got this. You cannot afford to be afraid or scared," he said as he took a deep breath.When he was certain and more calm, he sauntered out of the office and moved to where his secretary and some of the other staff were. "Are you all ready?" He asked, his eyed moving through their ranks."Yes, we are sir," they Chorused in unison and smiled. The investors' cars were parked outside and they were alighting already."Good morning sirs," he greeted as he moved closer to them..They looked so bright and relaxed. There were three of them and they were extremely professional as well."Good morning Mr Zen," they said one after the other as they exchanged handshakes with Zen who was all smiles and filled with joy."I hope your trip was smooth and uneventful?" "Oh! It wasn't so bad thou
As Stella found her way out of the building, she had a fierce grimace laced to her brows and one could see how upset she was.She moved with grace and elegance while boiling with anger. Zen's secretary followed closely behind her and was struggling to catch up with her."Where are they lodged?" She asked, panting with bated breath. She paused for a few seconds to catch her breath while she waited for the young lady to speak."They are lodged in the seven hotel just a quarter an hour drive from here.""That's cool! What room are they lodged in?"His secretary frowned as she wondered what stella was trying to do."Why do you ask ma?""It doesn't matter. Just give me the damned answer!" She snapped, sending chills down her spine.She swallowed the saliva that had gathered in her mouth and began to speak. *They are lodged in room one hundred and twenty."Without uttering a word, stella sauntered off and had only gone a few paces when she paused. "If Zen asks of me, please tell him I left
Zen dashed out of his office with immediate alacrity and headed to his car that was parked in the garage. He forgot his pain and the sorrows that was tugging at his chest.He was worried to the marrow and the more he tried to calm down, the more his heart rose. He had just one wish and that was for her to be well. Nothing else mattered to him, at least for that moment.His hands controlled the steering as hard as he could and barely paid any attention to the road. To lessen the tension in him, he fiddled with the stereo flooding the car with music.His throbbing nerves calmed a bit and before he realised it, he began humming to it.One thing still wasn't clear to him and that was the fact that Stella happened to be in the same hotel as the investors who had just left his company. What had she gone to do there?"Maybe she has a business meeting," he thought to himself with a shrug of the shoulder.A few minutes after, he swerved his car into the large parking space that belonged to Se
As he glared at his secretary, the patience in him waned and he wanted to snap at her for keeping him in such suspense. He took a deep breath as he exhausted the last bit of patience within him."Are you going to speak up now or would you keep the news to yourself?" He snapped, causing her to shudder. She rubbed her hands together and curled her lips together."I got a call from the investors who left about half an hour ago and they said they are going to invest in us," she announced..Immediately, and like a volcano eruption, Zen jumped in excitement, his head almost touching the ceiling. He couldn't contain his joy even for a second."Are you for real right now? Are you sure you heard right?" He had to be sure so his hopes didn't get dashed again.She nodded her head in response and bared her teeth at him."That's right. I even recorded our conversation. I can play it for you if you wish." "That's Cool. Please do." His curiosity got the better of him.Zen sat back in his chair, a w
Stella sat in her swiveling chair with her eyes fixed on the laptop screen that was opened before her. She was filled with excitement and could barely keep her excitement.She could barely keep her attention on the work before her. All she wanted was to see Zen and celebrate the good news with him. That was all that mattered anyways.She grinned as she turned her head around and without second thought, shut the laptop. She sprung to her feet as swiftly as she could, adjusted her gown and walked out of the office.The time read four. It was evening and the sun had gone down immensely. "Hello ma," Her secretary greeted as she raised her head to her.Stella waved her hand at her with a nod of the head, "please pack my stuff and bring them to the car with me. I'll be leaving now."Her face bulged and she seemed shocked. Stella was a bit confused as to why she had that look on her face. "Is everything alright?""Yes ma, I was only wondering what would happen to the meeting that you schedu
