NEW BEGINNING Grandma was in smiles as the law manager narrated the progress of the closure of the company.The manager wondered what made grandma smile.He thought grandma was also not cool with the fact that she had to close down the company and wondered why she was now happy that the company was about to be closed down. He, however, kept his thoughts to himself as he knew he had no option but to obey what his superior would tell him" Well done. You have tried your best and I called you here because there is some other news and information I will need you to note but before that I asked you to bring out a printed copy of the account I need to rectify something in there. Did you come with it?." Grandma asked.The manager gave the envelope he was holding to Grandma.Grandma took the envelope and stared at it for a while before handing it over to Louisa." Please pass on whatever you are doing and start working on this for me. I need it very urgently. The rest can wait till tomorro
I WILL MISS YOUBrooks Mansion, Monday evening.Reuben and Annabelle were busy dressing up. They were getting ready to go drop Andrea at the airport for her to take her flight back to school. Reuben was already done and was heading out where Annabelle was putting on a dress." I am heading downstairs. I need to check if everything is in order with her items. When you are done you can come around and we will be waiting for you." Reuben said and walked out" Okay, I will be with you shortly." Annabelle replied as she went on with her business.Reuben went downstairs to where the car was parked. The trunk was already open, and he inspected it to make sure that all of Andreas' belongings were in there.He took out his phone and dialled a number.After speaking with the receiver for some seconds, he dropped the call.One of the guards came around to him." Sorry to interrupt you sir, should we prepare the escorts for you?" The guard asked.Reuben shook his head in a negative" No need. I'l
YOU ARE BEAUTIFULThe trio got to the airport after a short journey involving chit-chat and laughter here and there.Reuben drove to the appropriate parking space and parked excellently.They all got down from the car, one after the other.Annabelle and Andrea were still happily discussing something as they got down from the car.Annabelle did a quick screening around as she admired the beauty of the whole airport.Reuben unlocked the truck and took out the luggage. That was the only luggage Andrea was travelling with.Reuben quickly closed the trunk and reached for one of the luggage wheelers that were arranged neatly at one end.He dropped the luggage on the wheeler and wheeled it away from the car.He secured the car and looked at the two ladies who were already walking to the inside.They were all busily chatting that they all forgot that they had come there with somebodyReuben shook his head with a smile as he pushed the luggage and followed them quietly.The trio got into the
NO INTEREST“ You have to use this in your story for a book.It is actually very touching” Annabelle said.Reuben heaved a sigh and smiled.He started the engine and slowly drove out of the parking lot.“ Where would you like us to go for our date?” Reuben said as he drove on the highway.He wanted to change the subject.“ I have not planned on anything yet. Besides, it is somewhere later on friday, we will decide later” Annabelle repliedReuben nodded.“ Now that you have officially taken over from your grandfather, what do you plan on doing?. Especially now that you have two competitors at once” Annabelle asked.“ I know that they have teamed up against us, but I can handle them.Currently, there is nothing to fight them about.I will lay low and work and forget about them. However, if they stand up against me, I will fight back.Dont worry about me” Reuben replied.Annabelle nodded.The whole environment became qui
PLAY THE VICTIM" I still take my stand that I am really not interested in anything.If it is because of the kinship, I have to get married, cool, I will definitely get married, but not to him.He is not interested in me, and I am really not interested in him.If it takes me to get married before you can hand over to me, it will be so, but I will not marry him, " Louisa replied.Grandma realized Louisa had made up her mind, but she decided she had to convince her enough.She knew she could just discard the idea and let Louisa be. However, she had a lot of things to gain if Louisa got married to Jakes.She had forever dreamed of her granddaughter getting married to a man from a rich family.She had a lot to gain from the relationship between Louisa and Jakes, and so she decided to press further." You know something really serious here, and you are joking about this.You are not the only girl in the family.There is still Christine and four other cousins of yours.This is really a c
I HAVE PLANSTuesday Morning, Anderson Mansion.It was already morning, and a few decorators were seen in the Anderson Mansion busily changing the atmosphere in the conference room of the Andersons. Grandma was in the living room speaking to the boss of the designers while the workers went about their daily business.Louisa had heard some noise coming from the outside of her room, and that was what had woken up.She entered her washroom and came back minutes later.The noise could still be heard, and it was really persistent.Louisa wondered where the noise was coming from, and in curiosity, she got out.She took the hallway leading to the living room and realized that the sound and noise were coming from the other side of the hallway that led to the conference hall.She took that turn and saw that there was a gro

A NEW PLANAnderson Mansion.The meeting was over. They had all introduced themselves and gotten to know each other well.Grandma made sure not to explain the inner details of their contract to her family members.After the meeting, Grandma quickly went over to Jakes to speak with him."
