Maxwell smiled at her and rubbed her face gently with his hand. He looked a bit better than he had been at the Fairmont house. The effort he made to look as simple as he is. He checked himself out when she gave him the compliments, but he still cannot forget that one of his plans is to make Athena more comfortable and successful than she had ever been before he met her. She still believes that Sabastian Bash is the reason she is still in business with Wilmore's, but maybe she will find out soon enough the caliber of man she has been sitting with all these months.“You want more of that?” “No, it's enough. I've got a handful of them. Thank you”. She answered with a shy smirk playing around the corner of her lips. Her phone began to beep and vibrate in her small leather bag. She looked towards it and dipped her hand into it. “Its grandma”. She told him and answered the call politely and as calmly as she could. “What did she say to you? You look gloomy and sad after that call." Maxwe
Athena couldn't hold back her anger after the meeting. She hurriedly went back to meet her mom. Veronica was sitting on the porch getting her manicure done when Athena pulled up in front of the house. Her face darkened, like she had witnessed a royal rumble match.“Hi mom”. She greeted her as if she appreciated her mother. Keys dangling. She looked down at the technician for a while and then back to her mom.“What's with the grumpy look? Did you have a fight at Grandma's again?”."Technically, that's the only place I can't go to without returning with some sort of anger." She spoke and pulled the seat next to her. ”.“How did it go, though? Are there any solutions yet?” Veronica asked with sincerity in her tone. “Nothing of the sort was preferred, and to make things worse, Grandma has asked me to handle it myself. Where on earth does she want me to begin? The Hamiltons are the high and mighty of the city; only the Wilmore's can defeat them." Athena said it with frustration in her ey
“Mom”. Athena got into her mother's room and found her sitting on the sofa. Her eyes were fixed on her favorite opera show on the TV screen. Athena gave it a quick look and focused her attention back on her mother.“You didn't give me the address, or is that supposed to be a surprise too?" Athena asked as she stood in front of her mother, who was busy with the show, without giving Athena a glance. “Victoria Restaurant and Lounge, 7 p.m.”. Veronica said it without blinking. Athena looked at her for a while. She knows her mother isn't in a good mood to speak at the moment, so she quietly works away from her room.She searched her closet and thought about what to wear, but then she realized she wasn't going to meet Sabastian for anything that had to do with romance. It was strictly business, plus she has a little apology to make. She pulled up black leather pants and a gray top and slid herself into them. She strapped her jacket over her back and picked up her bag after arranging her ha
Athena was nothing more than happy to finally have that talk with Sabastian. She smiled as he led her back to the car. Finally, she has been able to overcome her fears. Things didn't go as she feared they would. With the sound of his promise lingering in her heart, she went back home.The moment she pulled into the compound, her mother opened the door to welcome her into the house. A strange thing she thought in her mind. Her mother has never in a long time acted this nice towards her, especially when she had Maxwell living with them.“How did the meeting go, my sugar plume?” Veronica asked with a broad smile on her face and wine in one hand.“It went well; why are you so excited?” Athena asked as she brushed past through the little space her mother created between them.“Well, I was just anticipating the outcome of the meeting with Sabastian, and I can guess from the look on your face that it was positive." She said that, as she closed the door. She walked behind Athena with her feet
Walking through the front door of the mansion he bombed into grandpa who was just waking up from a little nap. It was a daily routine for him to nap a little. Maxwell smiled as he saw grandpa come down the stairs into the living room.“Hey grandpa, is everything alright?” Maxwell asked with fear in his eyes.“Yes, I guess I am fine. Just the aging bones at its job”. Grandpa said with a little more stretch. And then he got down to the living room and sat on the couch. “I guess you are stressed from all the movements in the past days. I think you need to hand over some of these things to Uncle Zander. He's a good catch and can represent you in almost all the meetings”. Maxwell advised.“Of course Zander knows exactly what to do when I am not around and I must tell you that I have the best sons and even Mirabella. She is worth the price of ten other men put together”. Grandpa said with so much pride and admiration in his tone.“We are a powerful family and I love it that way”.“Power is
Sabastian Bash pulled up at the Fairmont Tower around 12 p.m. He knows that it was time for Athena's break, and since he is around the area, it was only wise that he stop by to say hi. But everyone knows it's just for the meantime. Sabastian definitely knows why he is perching around Athena; however, Athena and her entire family are oblivious about his antics, especially her mother, Lady Veronica, who sees more potential in the young man than she sees in her own daughter. He walked in through the front door, squaring his shoulders like he owned the entire building. A dark shade lay over his face as he walked, then he bumped into a young man who was coming from the other wing. “Watch it, young man. This suit and shoes are expensive." He tells him and brushes away some invisible dust before moving forward. He murmured and sighed as he climbed up the stairs leading to the elevator. “What happened?” A young man asked the guy who had just collided with Sabastian. “He ran into me, yet
Sebastian has not been himself since he heard the news about the dinner party and opening of the new casino. He walked to his car and paused again like he had some strange dreams while having a nap. How can she get an email and I didn't. He spoke to himself and opened his car. He scurried for his phone and when he found it he tapped the screen and raced straight to his gmail app. He began to check through and when he couldn't find anything he became frustrated and cursed them for not honoring him. He squeezed his lip and drove off. He rushed home to think of ways he was going to make it up to Mirabella .“Why are you pacing and tossing up and down?”. His friend asked him. Jonathan stays over at his place sometimes and since the two men had known each other for long there was no harm giving him his spare keys.“I've been here waiting for you and there you are trying to impress a lady”. Jonathan kicked at him“She is not just any lady bro, she is Athena Fairmont of the famous Fairmont
Maxwell and Mirabella stopped at the clothes store a few blocks away from the office. Maxwell seems to have the greatest smile on his face, knowing his wait is finally over. There was nothing anyone on earth would do to him anymore, and as a matter of fact, all he had wished to have was now at his fingertips. He smiled from ear to ear and from cheek to cheek. He doesn't seem to know what being wealthy is all about, but he is more than willing to learn about it. “I think we have to check this store. If I can't find what I like for you, then we would check the next store, which is about a five-minute drive from here. Do you accept it?” Mirabella asked as she pulled up in front of the store.At the door, a beautiful lady dressed in a security uniform greeted them with a bow. When they entered the store fully, the two attendants rushed up to them and stood.“Good day, sir; good day, ma'am." They greeted each other in unison. Mirabella and Maxwell looked too confused at their reaction and
