He takes hold of her hand, then this arouses the thoughts in her that perhaps he is drunk and is horny at the same time but just at this moment, Derek speaks, clarifying his intentions."I'm not trying to seduce you, I'm feeling so anxious, dizzy and weak. It's the reason you see me this way." Jaria is disappointed, she knows it's gonna be a formal meeting perhaps he has some other thing to tell her which isn't related to what she thought before."Okay, Bianca is coming today and she will be alone with me discussing the divorce proceedings, I don't want you to come out." He puts up a serious face here, at this point. "Please if you wouldn't ever listen to me in other things, be kind enough to yourself to heed to this one, it's for your own good." "What's really gonna happen that he doesn't wants me to come outside?" Jaria asks herself. She is puzzled and that very nature shows in the way she looks at him. "Not like I want to cheat with her against you, you can ask for an evidence, l
At the stated time, Eloine knocks at Derek's door, opens it and walks in, he is still sleeping. He gently taps him, three taps wakes him up, he runs his eyes with the back of his palms. Then he raises his eyes to the wall clock, it's 2:50 PM.He remembers that he had an appointment with his lawyer, Bianca. He rises from the bed abruptly, walks to his bathroom to freshen up. After spending ten minutes in the bathroom, he receives a call. It's Eloine. He stretched out his hand from the bathtub he is, clearly his face of soap with his left hand."Hello Eloine?" He already suspects what he wants to say even before he opens his mouth."Bianca is here, she requests to see you.""Tell her to wait for me in the guest room, and give me fifteen minutes. I'll be right there." He feels she should wait, though he is giving fifteen minutes, he might take a little bit longer than that but not longer than thirty minutes."Alright sir." Eloine waits for Derek to hang up the call, then he progresses t
"I wanted to ask if you could......" She stops, flinching her face to the side, with two documents still held in her hands, then she looks back at Derek."I don't know if you could go out on a date with me?"Derek is taken back, if not that he was fully balanced on the seat, he would have fallen. "What did you just say?" He chuckles."I asked if you would go out on a date with me?" This time around, she says with more confidence than before. Derek smiles."Why do you want me to go out on a date with you but you are my lawyer and we are supposed to keep things at a professional level?"She smiles, glancing at the floor. "I think I've begun falling for you, I don't know how but I think I have," her answer comes out before she realizes. Realizing what she has just said makes her want to freeze but there's nothing she can do, she has already said it.Derek is shocked, he doesn't know if he should talk, if he should smile or if he should stand and gaze at the bold lady who has made a remar
"I thought you came to discuss Tahlia's case?" He sees this as very important compared to the date she is talking of. She shakes her head, then nods it."Yes, I did. But something really important came and took over, which is our date." She smiles. "I'd love to go on a date with you then, but let's talk about the case first, at least thirty minutes to an hour." He pleads. "I really see this as very important, can we talk about it please, then the date follows?" "Yeah. We can."Bianca, having the hope of going out after the discussion, agrees to sit down to a discussion with him. She takes a look at her files, the ones she wrote the outcome of her observations and investigations."Well, today I wouldn't be necessarily saying what's gonna make you win the case, I have something else which is worth more than that. You might wonder what's that but I'm here to tell you that after a careful observation, I've discovered that Tahlia is planning to get you kidnapped with a certain gangster s
Gangsters don't act with their natural brain, they take lots of hard substances which configure the way they think and act. What will happen if they are given the instruction not to end his life but they get influenced by the effect of what they have taken and end it? People that aren't using their normal brains can't be trusted.Even though he isn't killed, it's totally unbelievable for her to want millions of dollars or hundreds of thousands from him, through this method. This money is huge and could be used for a better thing, there are lots of developments to be effected in his company and this sum can go a long way to enhance it.For the next thirty minutes, he sits motionless without knowing what to say or do. Bianca touches his hand, patting him. "Don't worry, everything is now under control now that you have Jackson placed in the Brook's Prison.""I'm not the one who placed him there but Aurelius." He replies."Yes, you're still the one because Aurelius is under your command a
Bianca and Derek are ready for the date, at the time they are prepared, it's 5 PM on the night. They decide to go to D'Geralds for their date, it's among the top five luxurious restaurants in the state. Many foreigners patronize it because it has varieties of dishes, their intercontinental dishes are one of the best.A single meal here, the cheapest goes for two thousand, five hundred dollars, without a drink, just the meal. A bottle of water goes for five hundred dollars, Bianca has been. passionate about it right from time and has been looking for someone to take here.She's lucky to be here with a billionaire of her choice and she accepted to pay the bills, a hundred percent of it despite Derek insisting. She is a strong-willed woman and always has her ways. Part of what made Derek allow her to pay everything is because he didn't budget for this and wouldn't love to pay bills on a date he didn't wholeheartedly wished to go.It could be used as evidence against him, but now whoever
"Why are you sitting there?" Jaria asks, leaving the lane she was in and walks over to confront her boss but something speaks to her in her mind. "Are you out of your senses, look he is an adult and is not your boyfriend, not your husband. Why are you disturbing him?" It dawns on her what she is doing.She immediately comes to her senses and retraces her steps. Leo watches the ongoings afraid to say anything, he isn't aware of what's going on and even from a single glance, he is not behaving like the ideal boyfriend or date who would have prevented her from leaving where they were going to somewhere else."Let's go!" He places his hand around her waist and leads her away. Derek stares his eyes wide, Bianca is confused. She doesn't know how come this is happening, she is forced to believe that Jaria is spying on them, pretending to be here with her own date.This is backed up by her asking herself why she would come here of all restaurants. Her eyes go to Derek. "How did she know we ar
"Hello Aurelius, how is everything going?" He asks, not letting him say anything yet. "I believe all is fine?" "No, if everything is fine, why am I calling at this time?" From his voice, he can detect that everything is not right. "Come on, tell me what's going on. I want to know." "Don't be panicky, I'm going to tell you everything you need to know." Aurelius puffs out some breath. From where he is, he shakes his head. "I never expected this." He says to himself. "Well, it's to our dismay that Jackson is dead. He did not make it and now we are hearing rumors of his gang coming to bomb your company. You will also need to tighten your security because they are after your life, that's what I need to tell you!" Silence drops on Derek. The impression this has caused on him makes it seem like he was the only soul in the world with no one to love or support him. His mind, heart and plans are shattered. He knows what it means to be under the target of a sophisticated gang. He wouldn't be
