Camille strode into the living room and just as she had expected, officer Micheal Reid was seated on the chair with a cup of warm coffee in his hand, constantly checking his watch and phone for the time.She walked into the room and he turned around, the instant he heard the sound of a shoe against the floor."Camille!" He said. He got on his feet and stared at her without uttering any more words and she just smiled awkwardly."So uh… what's up with you?""I'm uh… okay I guess, yeah I am okay.""Great.""Can the both of you please have your seat and discuss like the matured adults that you are?" Nathan said as he walked into the living room with a tray of snacks for the duo."Oh you really didn't have to stress yourself baking these!" Officer Reid said with a look of gratitude."You think I baked that? My wife did, to help you guys get along. What brings people together like baked chocolate- y goodies?""Uhm… I don't know, maybe a nice romantic stroll or having dinner at a fine restau
The sound of her heels as it came in contact with the ground echoed through the restaurant. She stopped briefly scanning the room with her eyes and the sight of a blondie caught her attention, she continued towards the woman and stopped next to her. With a hand on her shoulder, she called out to her."Rachel!"The woman turned her head to look at her and she smiled at the sight of whom she saw, "Evelyn!"Rachel got up on her feet and they both exchanged pleasantries with a brief hug.Evelyn sat opposite her and placed her bag on the table, "it is so nice to see you." She said forcing a fake smile on her face."Same here, how are your kids?" Rachel asked with an obviously fake smile on her face."Splendid and yours?"Good thank you." Rachel replied smiling."I'm glad to hear that."Rachel sipped from her half empty glass of wine and Evelyn ordered herself a drink."So Evelyn.""Hmm?" Evelyn replied with her glass in her mouth."What about what we last discussed?" Rachel asked with a pl
The air suddenly seemed hazardous to Rachel as she struggled to breathed in, she didn't know what to expect from an unpredictable woman as Evelyn.She choked on her own saliva as she tried to gulp it down.Evelyn smiled warmly, "I accept.""Wait what?" Rachel asked with her eyes widened."I think I can make it work.""Really!" Rachel squealed with joy.Evelyn nodded affirmatively with a smile."Oh thank you, I promise you, you won't regret this.""I'm putting my trust in you. Thank you for choosing my Owen." Evelyn smirked."Oh come on, who else would make a good match for my darling daughter if not Owen.""Oh! you flatter me-" Evelyn chuckled softly, "-i'm happy to hear we are both on the same page, parents who wants what's best for their children.""Definitely! We're both good parents for sure.""And your daughter is on the same page as us too right?""Oh definitely, she's all Owen's."Evelyn chuckled, "great, let's order something." She said as she flung open the menu."Oh uhm..""
Few minutes later, their meals were served and both women ate without uttering a word to each other. After their meal, Evelyn summoned the waiter and paid their bill. Rachel thanked her for the meal and intended to continue their discussion but Evelyn stood up and picked her bag and Rachel stood after her."Thank you for the delicious meal." Rachel thanked her smiling."Oh it's nothing, thank you for having dinner with me. I'll call you when I have my answer." Evelyn replied with a warm smile on her face."Oh okay, please think about it well.""Good night Rachel." She said as she picked her phone from the table."Bills on you next time okay?" Evelyn said jokingly."Haha, definitely." Rachel replied faking a laugh."Oh I was only joking with you."Both women exchanged fake laughters before Evelyn walked away from their table leaving Rachel and her rage alone.Rachel went home to her daughter in rage, she explained how egoistic Evelyn portrayed herself and Mitchel tried to calm her down
Nathan got home feeling very tired after a stressful day at work. Doris was fast asleep and so he decided to eat dinner alone. He prepared himself a light dinner with a glass of milk to help him sleep better.While he was eating, Doris walked into the dining room and he went to meet her halfway."Hey, you're up." He said as he placed a light kiss on her head."Yeah, needed a glass of water.""I didn't want to wake you when I got back."Nathan got a glass and filled it till it was half empty with water and handed it to Doris to drink."Thanks.""Is any body home?""My mom went out and Owen is in his room." She raised the glass to her mouth and took a big gulp from it."Okay. I spoke with Fernandez today, about the bid.""Oh–" she dropped the glass on the table, "--how is it?""He said everything is going great. At this rate, you're sure to win the bid.""Oh my goodness! I hope so." She squealed with excitement."Let's hope for the best. Come you need rest."They both left the dining ro
If there was one thing Evelyn wanted more than anything, it was to out shine the other guests at her son's wedding, she wanted to stand out, if possible people should praise her more than the bride.Manuel was going to make that wish come true without even knowing.Evelyn had requested from him more money even after receiving the fifty million dollars. She told a lie that a friend of hers was throwing a party and she wanted to look her best and he promised her she would.After she left the introduction party, she rushed over to meet Manuel whom she promised she'd have lunch with. Manuel sat in his chair fuming with rage, constantly checking the time on his Royce wrist watch as he waited on Evelyn's arrival.Evelyn rushed into the restaurant, searching everywhere with her eyes where her date was seated and she sighted him at a table for two with none other than his rage.She hurried to him, "hi! I'm so sorry I'm late." She said as she sat down."Well our reservation is almost over so,
It was a very busy Monday morning for Nathan, with the bid and Manuel issue on his mind and now the whole strange behavior of Fernando.He sat in his office and told Tori not to allow any visitors into his office because he wasn't in the right mood and mind to see anyone.Tori had questions but he just shunned her and sent her off and she obliged, Nathan being her boss.There were only few in the world that Nathan trusted, his wife Doris being the top in the list then Fernando being the second but now he was starting to doubt him.Maybe he was worrying too much, maybe there was nothing to worry about or maybe there was a lot to worry about, Nathan didn't know, all he knew was he had to careful.★★★Manuel had quite a lot of questions to ask and Mitchel was ready to answer them all due to the hefty bribe he had placed on the table."Who is Evelyn to you?""Evelyn is my mother in law, I'm getting married to her son this Saturday."Manuel's eyes widened in shock, "who's her son?""His na
The stranger stood by a lamppost outside of Madame Laura's boutique with a smoke in his hand, waiting on Evelyn's arrival.He took the cigarette to his mouth and inhaled then let out a puff of satisfaction.As soon as he sighted them exiting the boutique, he threw the cigarette to the ground and step on it, turning it off. He pocketed his hands in his hoodie and strolled casually towards Evelyn and Doris.The black hood covered almost half of his face, making his identify anonymous to people and as soon as he got to them, he hijacked the bags from Doris."Hey!" Doris yelled out."This is your mother's fault." He said in a somehow forced, deepened voice.After littering the floor with their belongings, he scaped through the crowd that surrounded him as Doris cried for help.The atmosphere in the car was heated up by the anger that consumed Doris as they drove off, Evelyn had to open the windows just so she could breathe.Evelyn was bothered by the words of the psycho that had attacked
