Alex arrived ten minutes earlier than the agreed time, it was a date however familiar he was with her, he needed to do the right thing.At exactly ten minutes later, Brielle walked in through the door, her eyes scanning the environment for a while before settling on him. He was shocked that no smile crossed her lips. It had to be something really serious."So, let's see what we have here." He muttered as the waiter approached them immediately after Brielle had sat down. "We'll go with some lamb chops, right babe?" He asked her and she nodded. The waiter took down the order and walked away leaving the couple in momentary silence. Now the problem was that Alex didn't leave his house to come here and stare at Brielles face "Tell me what's wrong." "A lot of things." She answered morosely.Alex's mind wandered to various scenarios that could warrant such expression. "like?" "The fact that you've been unavailable for the past weeks, you've shown no concern whatsoever in the scandal tha
Very few people were eligible to have the kind of luxury that Brielle did but was acting the way she was. She reached out to the decorator who was willing to take her under her wings for the meantime until she finally decided to stand on her own. After leaving the previous day, she hadn't spoken to Alex and that was not allowed to go well because there was something else that was not going on well. He didn't think that she should go but didn't say it. As she was thinking, she heard her phone ring. Taking a quick glance at it, it was her mother and she hissed. What the hell was her mother calling for? They were unable to reprimand their choice son who was still on her case. "Hello, Mom." She greeted politely because she was raised better than that. "I've missed you darling. I reached out to your husband, he says that he doesn't know where you are." Brielle rolled her eyes. It was typical of him to say that. But why wouldn't he? When all that was happening was to make sure that she
Brock was shocked by the manner in which his Grandma had sent him away like a stray dog. It was very annoying and he was just thinking about the way that he could get her to be on his side. His sister listened to Brielle. She needed just a tiny nudge from grandma to make her reconsider so he needed to make that come to pass. There was nothing else that was going to make him change his mind about certain things that he had planned. "Tell me what else you need from me, grandma. You're not understanding what is going on between us. I'm sure that she must have told you a lot about me" Grandma's eyes narrowed at her first grandson. If Brock was half the woman Brielle was, she would have been very happy but right now she was very regretful that this was even happening in her lifetime. She would have preferred if they weren't even on talking terms at this point. " Now, tell me, what don't I understand?" She replied.Brock took a step forward making her narrow her eyes at him. " I'm sorry,
Alex met up with his investors at the Golden Tulip Hotel and was setting up his instrument to make it conducive for them. He had gone over his presentation and was sure that he was going to kill it. If he was doing great for someone's company, how much more he who knew what was at stake and the things that were required to make sure that he got the deal.He needed this major break so that he could launch into the market. He had the capital that Martins helped him sourcing for but he was trying his hardest to make sure that it didn't extend beyond what it should. "I don't know what else is missing." He told Martins through the phone.Martins was still hiding his identity because one of the investors could easily identify his face and he didn't want that one bit. He would have preferred if everyone was just on their own and didn't have to do anything other than their main purpose which was seal the deal and move on."Yeah, you don't need to worry about anything. I trust that you would k
Grandma Brock would have been pissed if she didn't receive a call from her son telling her to forgive her grandson and attend the party because her absence spoke a lot more volumes than she would have liked it to do. There was a reason certain things were done. It was firstly, because there was no control in that family.Her son had refused to use his Veto power in that house and thus was made to look like a weakling that he wasn't. It was a weakness in his life that he refused to curb and now it had become a virus that had eaten deep into his life. She stared at her phone. "What is the problem this time? We have agreed that I'd be there only on one condition. Firstly, that you make sure that there's no problem between the couple and make Brock apologize. What happened to cutting Brock off?" She asked him. Richard sighed. He had actually called him for a different reason and was surprised to see that she was acting this way. "Will you be a bit calm, ma and listen to what I have to s
Very few people were moved by what they saw and actually, there were a lot of people who didn't deem it fit to make sure that there was a change in the movement of certain things. Change like they said was constant, yet it was hated by some and appreciated by others. If there was any other thing that made Alex pissed off, it was the fact that his in-laws refused to get the memo that he wasn't in their category anymore. He would rather grind his teeth on a mill than be a puppet in their games. Because who could explain why Grandma called him the next morning to ask how he was doing, which had never happened in a very long time. That was if he wanted to make sure that he was being very considerate. "I'm good. Is there a problem?" He replied, if he had known that she would call him, he would have blocked her number. He had something important to block off so that there wouldn't be any problem. "Is there anything that you want me to do for you?" He asked her impatiently, he didn't hav
"I would have been elated to speak to you but I don't really have the time for that." "Is there a reason that I should be here and why can't I just stay with my brother and probably learn the ropes?" Liam replied carefully while opening the box of pizza and starting to consume it."Go ahead then. I don't think that there's any problem, at least at the moment. The instant I get wind of the fact that you might be stressing me, I won't hesitate to throw you out." "Good to know that. So, tell me. How long did you think that you could hide the fact that you poached my staff? Martins of all people?" Alex didn't want to go down this road with him but decided that he was going to answer him quickly. " Do you know what this means?" He replied. Liam shrugged softly, he was just going to wait till there was nothing else for them to do before finally striking. "No, you need to get off your high horse some times and see what I actually mean. I know that you might be blooming at the beginning b
Since Liam was busy defending himself from many accusations that threatened to claim his business, Alex had the time to meet with different clients. They were the ones who sought him for their accord so he made sure that he billed them accordingly. He was checking the time at intervals because Brielle was coming tonight and he wanted to make something special for her. In all sincerity, it had been long that he treated her the way he ougt to. Apart from the fact that he was swamped with work, he was just nonchalant with it."So, the Russian client says that we would need to have a physical meeting with her. It's not been easy convincing him seeing that we're a startup company. Where does she alpow us to get the funds the fly out at whim. I am tired with the way certain people are making things."Alex was absentmindedly thinking about his wife and the food he was going to prepare. He was planning to surprise her but she was already acting weird. He figured that it was something that h
