Jesse and her sister got ready for work that morning and drove to their various offices. However, they were unaware of the vehicle following behind. She soon got to the mall and the car continued to drive by without stopping. The lady innocently made her way to the mall where she bumped into Nick.“Hi, Nick.” Jesse greeted him.“Hi, Ma'am. You look stunning in this outfit of yours.” Nick admired her and she inspected herself before smiling warmly at him.“Thank you.”Jesse was putting on a pink pants suit, green purse and green heel shoes. She looked really elegant in her outfit and got some people turning their necks in her direction.Stopping in her tracks, Jesse turned to Nick and asked him. “Have you seen Arthur this morning?”The man smiled and shook his head. “No, I think he's yet to show up.”Jesse chuckled and shook her head several times. “That young man doesn't know what it means to be punctual. He should be careful not to get himself in trouble.”Without another word, Jess
“Is he for real? What happened to the arrogant Mr. Hans?”Jesse spread her hands open. “I don't even know what happened here. I'm also confused.”The duo stared at themselves for a while before Jesse said to him. “Maybe he's in a very good mood this morning. I think you should go back to work.”Jesse turned around and began to walk away.Arthur went back to work. It didn't take a long time before he saw a young lady approaching the elevator. It was the young lady he had been searching for and she was coming from the direction of Mr. Hans' office.With his mouth open, Arthur stared intently at the young lady who pretended not to notice him.As she tried to get past him, Arthur held the girl's arm causing her to cast a glare at him.“What's this supposed to mean? I've told you to stay away from me.”The girl shoved Arthur's hand aside and continued towards the elevator. However, Arthur didn't let her. He quickly went after her and blocked her path.“Please, you have to calm down. I mean
“Sure.”Without another word, Benita took Arthur's phone from him and inputted her number. At that instant, Arthur dialed the number and it began to ring in her trousers pocket.Quickly, she took it out and showed it to Arthur. “That's your number, right?”“Yeah, that's it. I'll call you later in the evening.”Arthur tilted over and whispered something into her ears. “Remember what we discussed. No one should know that I'm in disguise here.”Benita nodded and began to laugh after which she replied. “Sure, your secret is safe with me.”“I have to go back to work now.”With that, Benita got into the elevator.That evening after he got off from work, Arthur made his way to ‘Probity hotel’ where he waited for Benita. He was waiting at the exclusive suite of the hotel.Once Benita arrived, Morris led her to the place. As soon as the young lady got into the suite, her jaws dropped. She could not comprehend what was going on.“Here she is, Sir.” Morris said to Arthur and also turned to Benit
It was Morris who came in. “Sir, I'd like to inform you that Miss Jesse is now around. Shall I bring her in?”“Sure, let her in. I've been expecting her.”Arthur's intention was for Jesse to wait for him while he and Benita concluded on their discussion. However, at that moment, Benita became more uncomfortable. She was afraid that they'd be misunderstood.Morris soon left the place and Benita turned to Arthur.“Are you, um… Maybe it's best I leave now so you can attend to your guest. Let's just meet next time.”Benita felt that Arthur's guest must be more important so she suggested that they have the discussion next time.She was about to stand up when Arthur stopped her. “You don't have to worry about my guest, she won't have any problem waiting for us.”“Ok, Sir.”Arthur glared at her and she forced a smile out after realizing the reason for the look. However, she didn't say anything else.Just then Jesse came in. At first, she was confused and kept wondering what was going on. Who
Benita was at a loss for words. Tilting her head, she began to sob.Arthur reached out and patted her arm. “You don't have to cry. It's over now.”“That's the reason I'm crying. You don't know me, yet you've taken it upon yourself to help me even though I was rude to you several times.”Benita lifted her face and wiped her tears.“If you hadn't been patient with me, I would have lost this chance. Something I've been praying for came to me and I couldn't even realize it because I was busy getting angry at the wrong person who was coming to help me.”“It's ok.” Arthur helped her with her glass of drink. “Come on, take a sip. I'm sure it'll help you calm down.”With a nod, the girl took the glass from Arthur's hand and had a few sips before placing it back on the table.“Thank you Sir.”Arthur ignored her words and continued. “You said something about not having a father. Do you mind telling me what happened?”“Sure, I will tell you everything.”“Ok, I'm listening.”Benita lifted her fac
“Well, I'm not sure Jenny will wait for us to bring dinner for her. If she gets hungry, she can get some food for herself.” Jesse replied to him with a bright smile on her face. Since she had served the dishes, she went ahead and started eating.After the couple were through with their meals, Morris came back and cleared the dishes. Again, Arthur scolded him for not sending someone else over to do the job but Morris didn't think it was a big deal.Arthur had changed his life for good. The least he could do was to serve him. There was no use calling someone else to do the job.Once Morris was out of the place, Jesse rested her head on Arthur's shoulder before asking.“So tell me, what happened to Frank then. He's no longer the manager. Did you fire him?”Jesse knew the answer to her question but still went ahead to ask. However, Arthur didn't mind and replied to her with a question.“What do you think?”“Well, we both know that he has been fired by you.” Jesse replied. “I can only imag
Jesse was stunned.She quickly pulled out of his arms when she heard his words. She was already blushing but turned her face away.Arthur, who understood her reaction, smiled sheepishly. “What do you think? Remember, whatever you say is what will happen. I'm not going to force it on you if you're not ready.”Arthur's words did not make Jesse turn. She still had her face turned to a direction where Arthur could not see it. Opening her mouth, she began to stutter.“I, um… Actually Arthur, I'm not ready to have that conversation or act on those words. Maybe we should wait till after our marriage.”Jesse was not a virgin. In fact, she's had sex a few times with her exes which was one of things she regretted after they broke her heart.She was not willing to go down that lane again. If Arthur really loved her, he'd have to wait till they got married.Arthur understood her and gave her a reassuring nod before pulling her closer again.“Like I already told you, if you're not ready. I'm not g
Jesse was speechless. She could not see that Arthur could no longer wait for them to get married. Before she could retort, the call went through and his grandfather picked up.Arthur greeted his grandparents and went ahead to state the reason for his call.Although he decided to convey the message to his grandmother.“Nana, I'll be coming to visit you guys over the weekend. And I won't be alone.”His Nana's face lit with delight when she heard Arthur's last statement.“Did you say you'll come with someone? Is it your girlfriend? Tell me her favorite dishes so I can ask the chef to prepare them.” She asked excitedly and waited in anticipation for a positive response.“Yes, that's correct.” Arthur replied and went ahead to inform his Nana about Jesse's favorite dishes against her wishes.Jesse didn't want any special preparations because she was visiting the Ramons’ mansion with Arthur for the first time. In fact, she'd eat anything they gave to her as long as it was good food.The Ramo
