Robert sat in his car, having mixed feelings about what had happened. He felt he had gone to far but was also glad that he had given her a taste of her own medicine. He was one with so much compassion and humanity, he felt a bit guilty about what happened."Welcome home, young master. How was your meeting?" Raymond asked as soon as he alighted from the car. He smiled, seeing the number of guards Robert had taken this time around. "You finally took your grandfather's advice and took a lot of security, I see. I'm pretty sure it came in handy." "Yes, yes, Raymond. It came in great handy today. And you didn't even let me answer your question. Where is grandfather, by the way. I haven't seen him all day." Robert asked, walking into his mansion. He sat on the couch in the balcony, relaxing his whole body in it."Sir is okay. He came down for breakfast some time ago but he went back to his room. He should be there as we speak." Robert was standing by the couch, his head high."Alright then.
The battle line had been drawn. One that Robert himself, who was considered a participant was not even aware of. He was at home that afternoon after his meeting with the head of Wright Communication Company, Mr Wright. The man's words kept playing in his head. They were pure, yet filled with desperation. As he headed to his grandfather's room, that was all he could think about. He was not yet familiar with all the businesses under his control and his plans to travel around the world too, had to be put on halt. He walked the hallway, now very confidently, no longer in total awe of the floor type and beauty. Although he was still impressed by it all but it was no longer the way it was when he first came. Besides, it was his house, his estate.He opened the door to his grandfather's room but was surprised to not find him in his bed, where he usually laid or seated in his couch. He closed the door gently behind him as his eyes scanned the room thoroughly."Grandfather?" He called out gent
Robert's eyes were still on her, admiring her perfect features. From her long, smooth hair to her ocean blue eyes. She has a long face with a very pointy jaw, sharp enough to cut through a surface. Her long, brown hair was styled beautifully with some touching her face. Robert could not deny the fact that she was absolutely stunning. Her eyes were enchantingly attractive, drawing his eyes in to hers as he looked on."Good morning, Juliet. How are you doing?" Jude asked, smiling sweetly at her."I am fine, sir." She answered swiftly, her perfect smile still on her beautiful face."Oh, Robert, this is Juliet Frank. She has worked here for some time now and l must say, she is very hardworking." Jude turned to face Robert as he spoke. Robert smiled, moving his eyes away from her immediately. "I'm sure you've met my grandson, Robert." He turned to Juliet as he spoke."Of course I have, sir." She smiled as she looked at Robert straight in the eye, her smile intact. "It's nice to meet you,
Chapter 55: Sparks"See you at home, grandfather," Robert said as the elevator door shut, taking Jude down. He turned and faced Juliet, a wide smile on his face. "So, Juliet, how are you?" He asked as he walked to her desk, where she was arranging some things. Her hair flared against her face, covering one of her eyeballs. She looked up nervously and smiled, her ocean-blue eyes fluttering then looked down again. Robert stared back at her, expecting her to say something but when she didn't, he was a bit confused. He wondered if everything was alright with her. He tilted his head to the side with a slightly worried look on his face as he contemplated on whether to repeat the question or not. Juliet appeared to be nervous as she took a little statue from the box and placed it on the table shakily. "Is everything okay?" Robert finally asked, seeing her body movements."Oh! Everything is fine. I am fine, sir." She chuckled nervously, she looked up quickly, meeting his eye then she looked aw
The atmosphere was now light and jolly. Robert and Juliet were getting along pretty well and that was the beginning of their perfect work relationship. "Well, as I was saying. My ex wife and her family started treating me very poorly but I stayed with them because I had no other family. I kept trying my best to prove myself to them but clearly, it was of no use. It's just ironic how I got to meet my grandfather because she made it happen." Juliet was confused at what it meant but waited in anticipation of what it was this great man was about to tell her. Her eyes widened in curiosity as she watched him. "So I was arrested one time and a certain ring my mother had given to me fell out of my pocket. That was after I was made to sign our divorce papers. She took the ring to my grandfather and that was how he came looking for me at the police station." He paused, laughing as he got up from his seat, his focus now on his audience who was clearly amazed. "How do you think I felt that day, J
"Oh! That's nice. You both attended the same university, I see." Robert said enthusiastically, missing the cold air between his friend and his secretary. "So how have you been, Liam? Where have you been?" He continued. Liam's eyes moved from Juliet to Robert, a happy spark in them as he turned."I've been around, you know. Just work and all that but I'm okay. I've been good. What about you? I've been to this eatery a number of times and I've never seen you." Liam asked curiously. He was very happy seeing Robert and wanted to know everything. And so did Robert."Well, I just started working over there." He paused, moving his head in the direction of the skyscraper just across the road. "So I came here with Juliet to have lunch.""Ahh! I see. Must be nice. The place looks good." Liam paused, his expression suddenly getting intense. "But what happened bro? We never got to see you after high school. Some of our mates actually said something had happened to you but I refused to believe it.
Sophia pulled up at the front of her ex's house. Her entire being hoping that she wouldn't be thrown out after everything that had happened. She sat behind her car wheel for a few minutes, wondering if what she was about to do would turn out right. She sighed almost in frustration, hitting the wheel repeatedly. She got out of the car and looked around, tension rising from her insides as she made for the door. She rang the door bell and waited patiently, breathing in and out as she prepared herself for the worst. The door opened up slowly, a maid in the way. She smiled at Sophia wryly, ushering her in."Good morning, ma'am." The maid greeted politely with a curtsey."Yes, good morning. Where is Michael?" She asked at once."Oh! Master Michael said he doesn't want to see anybody. I'm sorry." The maid replied immediately."Oh! Is that so?" She asked gently, a bit of scorn on her face. The maid nodded accordingly, looking down at her feet. "Are his parent's here?" She continued."They lef
For a moment, it seemed like time froze. Robert and Liam paused everything they were yapping about, their eyes on Juliet as she stood there with a forced smile on her face. In Robert's mind, he could only wonder how much of a beautiful woman she was, while Liam wondered how things went wrong between him and a woman of such calibre. The suspense almost seemed to be unending until Liam spoke."So fast. Why? We haven't even had lunch yet." She didn't expect him to be the one to say anything first. She glanced over at him for a moment, meeting his eye. She felt cold and uncomfortable, Turing her face from him immediately."Yes, Liam is right. Why do you want to leave when we haven't even had the lunch we came here for?" Robert finally said, leaning his back on his seat. She smiled nervously, pushing her hair back as she thought of what to say. The truth was that she was not comfortable being there with Liam, especially in front of her boss. But she couldn't say that, could she?"Umm... Si
