The phone rang and Cephas looked at his phone screen. Violet's name flashed on the screen and he groaned.He didn't want to talk to her at the moment but he picked up the phone. He had not had the time to delete her number from his phone.He had been extremely busy lately that he barely had time to look at his phone or even keep Violet in his mind.His love for her had died but he could not deny that he still had a soft spot for her."Hello" He said curtly, flipping the pages of the files on the new bank he just purchased.He had bought the bank on impulse and because he wanted to deal with Violet's parents. If the bank does not meet up with the other banks under his father’s company, then he is in trouble."Hi Cephas, this is Violet," the other voice said."I know," He said again."How are you?" She asked, sounding shy."I'm fine, what do you want?" He said going straight to the point."Can I see you?" She asked."What do you mean?" He asked, confused."Can we meet, I want to tal

“I need to get something in my car, please for me. I will come back soon,” he said as he walked to his car outside.Then he came back almost immediately, Violet was already on a call with some else.“Mommy, I can’t believe you lied to me about him being a hot shot. I literally paid for our meal this afternoon. His card declined because he had insufficient funds in it. Isn’t that wild?” She said in an angry tone. “I told you there was no one like him who would be rich not to talk of being in charge of a bank.”Her side of the line went silent for a while then she spoke again. Put a lock of her hair behind her ear. Cephas fell for that cute act of hers in the past.Her character made everything so unpleasant to him now, she only came to check if he was rich because of what her mom told her, instead joining her at the table, he continued to listen to the conversation.“You must have mistaken him for another person. The Cephas I know doesn’t have enough intellect to work at a bank, do yo

Cephas walked into the Walter Coporations’s building, his assistants were waiting for him to come in.“Good morning sir,” Anta greeted him as soon as they walked up to him. “Good morning, Anta.” He replied pausing to lookat their faces before he continued moving. Jose, you seem to be very angry , I didn’t even get a good morning from you.” He replied while they walked towards the elevator.“I am sorry sir, Good morning,” Jose murmured a reluctant greeting as they got into the elevator. Luckily for them, they were the only ones going into the elevator. ‘What is on your mind? You know you can talk to me about anything.” Cephas said. He had noticed that Jose didn’t want to talk about what was on his mind.“There is nothing sir, “ Anta replied.“Jose?” Cephas asked, he saw Jose look at Anta. “C’mon, don’t resist talking to me because of Anta.”“Say your mind, you are making me seem like a bad person in front of big boss.” Anta gave Jose a scornful look. “Just talk, I am not happy a

But don’t worry, the tasks are things Jose and I can handle. We have completed all our tasks except for Marcus' publishing situation.”“Are we going to hand that over to them? We should be the ones to complete that project because I personally want to see Mr and Mrs Marcus crumble for not letting us stay the nigh

“What are you doing?” Cephas got up from his seat, turning till he was face to face with his stepmom.“Was she following me?” He asked in his mind and groaned, he only fixed the dinner at Gojo foods, hoping that his soon to be wife would run into them there and cancel their wedding but his step mom had come instead.“What does it look like, Ceph? I am scolding her for hanging out with an engaged man.” Ruth retorted at her, “Are you not being brazen and reckless? Having a meal with a woman at your in-laws’ restaurant.”Here she goes again, acting like she really cared about him.

“Are you speaking to me?” Ruth demanded, and she was shocked by Tyla’s response. She had thought that Tyla was intimidated by her that was why she hadn’t spoken a word but Ruth realized that Tyla might not be calm like she thought.“Yes, Mrs Steel-Walter, you demand some respect but you have done nothing but say disrespectful words to me since you got here.” She answered.“I can say whatever I want to anyone, who are you to tell me that I am disrespecting you? Just because you are dressed in white, doesn’t mean you deserve my respect.” Ruth said.“This is different from what I have heard about you.”“What did a peasant like you hear about me and how is it supposed to affect me?”"Well, I should tell you, words have it that you are well-known for your kind words and accommodating heart, now that I have met you, I see they are all lies. The media knows nothing about you.”“That is disappointing for people like me that look up to you, we have always imagined how great you would be when

“How was your trip sir?” Anta asked as Cephas handed them the souvenirs he got them. “These are very beautiful,” she added as she unboxed the parcel in her hand.“It was boring, it was more of business talk than bonding with my in-laws. I am so tired that I would love a spa treatment as soon as possible.” he answered as a yawn escaped from his mouth.His dad had asked him to join the Gojos on a trip to Ibiza to bond with them, but the trip has been more of a business meeting than a bonding experience.
