Selena was more paranoid than when she was walking into the office that morning and it somewhat affected her when she was working. Her mind wandered towards who could be after her. What could the person want? She hoped that she was not making a huge mistake which would cause to regret marrying Dominic.She really looked forward to being with him but with all of these thrown into the mix, she might reconsider. Her phone buzzed, startling her out of her thoughts. " Hey, mom. what's good?" Rose removed the phone from her ear and took a look at it the second time. It wasn't news that her first born daughter hated to hear her voice, hence the surprise at the tone." How are you doing today? I called to invite you for lunch if that's okay with you?" She asked carefully, trying to understand what was going on.Selena was also surprised by her mother's polite tone. It was also common knowledge that they weren't exactly on the best terms especially since the issue of her marriage to Dominic
Dominic stretched out his hand for a handshake which Louisa gladly took as her eyes ran over his full length. He was handsome, better than she had imagined. "It's good to finally meet you." He said, although he had not heard anything about her. Louisa adjusted her baby on her second arm gently and smiled, while giving Selena a surreptitious glance, wiggling her brows ever so slightly causing her to blush. "Me too. Uh...I was just about to leave." Dominic nodded stiffly and stared at the woman before him, she seemed like a nice person. His eyes strolled lazily to Selena who jumped out of her daze and reached for her friend's bag. " Oh, hey... I think you should leave now if you want to get home before nightfall." She said.A small smile appeared on Louisa's face and she nodded, " I guess, remember to invite me to your wedding." She reminded her as she headed to the door."Of course, I will. Selene can be my little bride." Louisa halted in her step when she heard that, " Aww, that's
Lily's presentation was a blend of innovative and challenging strategies. Each slide fluidly wove its way into the next one, as it showed the state which the company could be in the next few years if these strategies were employed. Selena clapped her hands in amazement. "This is so brilliant, Lily. I didn't think that you would deliver such a great job in the space of a few weeks." She exclaimed.Lily's face colored with the praise showered on her as she heaved a sigh of relief and smiled bashfully. " Thank you." She whispered.Dominic stared at the young lady before him, she was brainy, now he could see why Selena had insisted that she take the job. " This is impressive, we'll announce it to the team. Thank you for this." He said and returned his attention to his laptop.Lily's face even colored profusely as a grin stretched from one ear to the other. "You're welcome, sir. I'm glad that I could do this.Thanks for trusting me with this opportunity." She replied.Selena rose and went
Dominic watched different emotions play on her face as she tried to fathom she was going to go about that. He held her gaze and tipped her head upward a bit. "It's not as hard as you think, you just need to be focused..we can come up with something that wouldn't be too taxing pending the time that you finally assume your position at work." Selena didn't feel too capable of bringing massive results to the company. She had tried and ended up incurring debts which would have made her company crumble if not for Dominic's timely intervention. It was also very amazing that there has been a bit of controversy and whispers among her staff that Dominic was a better executive. While that didn't faze her too much, it fed the self doubt nagging at the back of her head.Dominic didn't understand the reason for her reticence. He couldn't even call it that because she was doing well before he came into the picture. "Are you feeling alright?" He asked in concern while touching her hand softly.Sele
Emily's hands shook softly as soon as she bolted the office door and she instinctively wiped her hands across her pants to keep the sweat at bay. Her head was spinning with different thoughts about why Selena could be here and it only grew worse. "Aren't you surprised to see me here?" Selena broke the silence."I am, ma'am." She replied and looked around to see if anything was out of place in her office even though she knew the way she left it. Everything was in order but she couldn't help but stop feeling inadequate.Selena decided to allow the poor girl to breathe. " I don't know why you are fidgeting, you didn't do anything wrong did you?" She asked her.Emily was thinking about the best way of replying to the question without offending her. "I don't know what you mean ma'am." Selena decided to cut to the chase, "I'll go straight to the point, don't come to my office without a clear invitation." She said and immediately Emily nodded.She wasn't expecting that at all and she sighed
He merely raised his brows to stare at the person who had the audacity to hold his fiance that tight. "Marvin, I didn't know that you were coming. Why don't you come after all this while?" She asked him.Dominic went back to his office immediately and decided that there was nothing to fear. He went upstairs back to his office.As he was flipping through pages of the files he was no longer able to concentrate. His mind went to the image of the person that he saw standing with her. He had seen that face somewhere he didn't just know where exactly. Luckily, he heard laughter coming from outside the office and he figured out that it was from Selena. Marcus pushed the door open and a giggling Selena walked in immediately. The smile waned from her face when she saw the scowl on Dominic's face. A bit taken aback, she wondered what caused his expression.She looked around and discovered that Marcus and Dominic were staring at each other with intense looks. Okay, what the hell was going on?
Dominic raised his brows at Marcus who was staring at him in horror. He knew what was happening, but he was thinking about how to extricate himself from this situation.Selena stared at Eleanor in horror as she watched what was going on. " Can someone tell me what the hell is going on?" She asked.Eleanor stared at the intruder who thought that he could get away with his plans. "Did you really think that you could just come here and cart her away?" She asked him. Dominic waved his hand gesturing to Selena to move forward but she didn't respond immediately. "Babe, come here." He ordered and she walked towards him. "Eleanor, take him away. I give you the authority to blow his head off if he stresses you." Selena was horrified at the words that she heard, "Babe, you can't just kill my friend. Marcus, why aren't you saying anything?" She inquired from him, he was expected to say something. Marcus glared at Eleanor, Dominic was making a grave mistake telling her to capture him. He would
Dominic went in search of Selena and he found out that she was not around the area. He asked the receptionist and discovered that she didn't also know where she was. "Are you telling me that you don't know where she is?" He asked him."Yes, sir." The lady nodded and was almost thrown off balance by the stormy look on Dominic's face. He was truly annoyed at her disappearance. It wasn't safe for her to leave whenever she pleased.He dialed her number but the call was going straight to voicemail and he groaned in annoyance. "Where are you?" He muttered under her breath. Selena stared at her phone which was ringing continuously and she ignored it. Wrapping a hand across herself, she moved towards the river and kicked a stone. She was furious at the way things were going. As one with the impression that they were going to have a bumpy free ride, but she didn't know what was happening to them. The phone kept on ringing and suddenly notifications began to pop up instantly. "Where are you?"
