Laila was attentive when Pat (27) was on the line with Mr Williams, his Dad, director of Operations at AB Corp."Dad. My fiancee's appointment was terminated. Why?" he asked."I don't know. It came from the Chairman," said Mr Williams."Chairman? Dad, you couldn't intervene.""Pat. Don't ever call me in that matter. Using me to scheme herself up?" his father blew up.Pat hissed and cut the line."What did he say?" asked Laila, staring at Pat's face."Don't mind the old man.""Oh! He is not in support of our marriage?""Am I a kid? Not that he is not. He said it was the chairman that terminated your appointment.""I heard that. So, was that why he was raking?""There is nothing to worry about. I am going to Atlas as a non-executive director. I will get you fixed into a better position there. You know how much they pay?"" No. You said it is Nebraska?""Yes. Immediately, I get there, I'll send for you."Laila rose to go afterward.He meshed their fingers to give her a kiss. "Pat, wait.
"In this second chance. We have to cross some hurdles.""Like?" Laila asked. "Listen," said David. He has to be frank with her.If she will stay, she must do what she was told. He can't afford to have issues with his uncle. " My uncle is the chairman of AB Corp," he revealed to her"David. You don't mean what you said!" she jumped off from her lying position in the seat." Roberts East is my uncle," said David, affirming himself. Laila slumped down to where she sat.Tears. She laid back in the Divan, coiled herself, and took David's arm into her armpit."Listen," David said."Am listening." She sniffed.You will hide your identity from him otherwise he won't agree to our marriage.""So he terminated my appointment because of you? David. You did not tell me the chairman was your uncle.""I didn't know he was there how much less being the chairman. Do what I suggested. To hide your identity.""How?" she sat well with a hard look into David's eyes."I suggest you do surgery on the face
Selena smiled. She has got the reason and she said it. " Forget about the apartment being close to my school. You want to be the one visiting and not me.""You are dead right!" David took a sip and placed the cup back on the table. Selena had peaked her brow waiting to hear what he would say."So, you are scared of me?" she asked." I don't want to stop your career." David put it clearly to her." Career? That I won't marry?" She stared at him with a slant of her neck." C'mmon, tell me." she said and stretched her hand and held David's.If David could just give her a green light, she would not mind, she would pack go live with him and then marriage has begun. "Career ladies like Laila have two options. Career or marriage." David said."Not me!" she rebuffed," My career won't make me a spinster. If you want to marry me, I'll have no objection anytime," she said, baring her mind. David squeaked. " I will do something. " he said. They were at a private table in the club. "Take this pe
"Your Dad seems not to be in support of our relationship, Pat." said Laila. "Relationship?" Don't you remember what we are into? You said it as if it's a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship that Dad has to monitor or approve.""It is still the same since you have not paid on my head. It is still boyfriend and girlfriend.""So, that is an issue now? Paying? Was it the money that we couldn't afford? You presented your career first." isn't it ?" asked Dr Pat." Then, we concluded that on your elevation as a manager, we wed. Laila, am I lying?" "But your Dad was not aware of that. He has a different view of us." Laila said," And I don't know how I am going to be a good daughter-in-law. First impression they say matters. Pat, think about it.""Laila! My Dad is not against us! I have secured employment as a director at Atlas. And tomorrow, we are off to Nebraska. Anything you want, business? Or paid work? It is just a matter of telling the CEO, hey, I want a good office for my wife."Lail
Fear of failure Laila had been lying down and sweating under the duvet despite the cold weather inside which was about 20°CDavid slowly rolled down the piece of duvet covering her face and told her "I have told my uncle we are coming tomorrow."He turned her face upright as her eyes were still closed."You seemed to have a headache?"He looked longish at the placid beautiful long face and chewed his lips, about to cry as the past flooded into his head. The most beautiful girl he loved!If he not that time had seen her in the restaurant with a man kissing, he would have not felt this dagger now piercing his heart. He sniffed.He imagined how many times they had kissed with her eyes closed in absolute surrender as he saw her, how many times the man had run his palms up and down her curves till her knees wobbled. How many times she had been carried to his bed as her knees wobbled? Who removes her underwear? She or him?Right there where she was lying, he visualized how this beautifu
Where is she from?"Even my Dad and Mom could not recognize me." Laila speaking, affirmed, " Sure, Mr Roberts won't! Hope he is the only problem?" She gave David a hard look and a smile."Yeah," David concurred," Soon, " he said, "we will try our game.""Hehehe," she exclaimed, asking. "When?", intoxicated by her anticipation.She took a mirror, turning her face before it."I will tell him tomorrow I want to get married," said David."Okay. You are mature, after all. Then...?""Normally, they will ask who is she?" David pointed out."They? Mr Roberts and?" she asked, agitation, over her face "His wife and John, my brother and wife," David counted."I haven't seen them," she said, "Except Mr Roberts, would they pose a problem?" She was curious, and she added," We aren't going to be telling them long stories of the past. Isn't it?" storming David with a steely look. *. *. *David before Roberts, his heart cut. Liars know how to keep their faces straight. But here was David, who had n
Their security dashed out and they opened their doors. David took her arm and they walked in.In the living room, Mr Roberts' wife, despite scanning her like she was once a criminal, was God's providence for her escape.She said to Mr. Roberts," David has found a soulmate, let's give them our blessing."With the way the interview and the inspection were cut short, Laila's heart pounded. Back at the old statehouse, Laila's mom was on the line. "What happened? Your line had been of these days?"She had offed her phone because of Dr. Pat."Well, Dr Pat is at the gate. What will I tell him? But make sure that David or Evid is not pretending to be rich o.""Mum he is Super rich! Please, tell him, he should talk with me that I am not a baby. Period" Laila spoke gingerly as if Dr. Pat was eavesdropping.Dina, Laila's Mom relayed to her their live discussion with Dr Pat."Somebody told me she saw her at the airport."Dina parted her arms."Do I know? She didn't tell me anything."After liste
When she said " I do ", Dr. Patrick shuddered.The "I do" came from the altar, a distance of twenty meters. The voice of his fiancee, Laila? Dr. Pat walked out from the pew and squeezed through the personalities, eyes on who was in the veil. He went back and sat down in the pewHe was sure whom he saw. By her voice, when she said 'I do'. By her hips inside the crafted Dubai wedding dress. The hips he had traced both sides at least thrice; up and down, up and down. With eyes closed, he could tell these hips belonged to Laila He has to ask her how it happened. When did you know my boss, Laila? Were you double-dating? He thought of the best approach: Call her with a different number, ask her how come. Or, lie low and overlook her? The pain may go away one day. How would the pain go? Is there another Angel God will send on an errand he could trap on the earth?Laila has the sexiest shape, her hazel eyes always like she wanted to sleep any time she was responding to his kiss. Oh! Laila
