Chapter 191:Lisa sniffed in her tears before she began to speak. “ I met Mr. Alfred at the event and tried to avoid him, but he approached me and apologized for how rude he was to me the other day when he visited, we chatted for a while and I suddenly became tipsy, I couldn't comprehend why that was happening to me, but my head was spinning hard and I only took two glasses of wine”She stopped to catch her breath and also wiped away her tears before she continued. “Mr. Alfred offered to drive me home seeing that state that I was in, I couldn't refuse because there was no way else I would be able to get back home, he helped me get into the car and that was all that I remembered. The next day, I woke up to the whole drama around me”“Don't you think that you should explain your side of the story and also sue Mr. Alfred in court because he took advantage of you”“I don't know, I am trying to figure out what exactly happened before I start pointing fingers else it might come back to bite
Lisa exhaled loudly in anxiety seeing how furious Harry was against her, she had never seen him this angry before towards her and wondered how long he was going to continue being like that. But not less than thirty minutes later, his car drove in and as he stormed into the living room, he was filled with so much rahe, his gaze red and burning with fury. “What the hell are you doing here!! ” He roared at her and Mrs. Joyce knew that this was the time that she needed to excuse herself, she cuddled the baby in her arm and strode towards the entrance of the house. “Harry don't you think that it is time you stop acting like a child, do you even realize how much I am hurting right now, can't you at least grant me the benefit of the doubt and give me a chance to explain myself”“How about you go explain yourself to the press flocking around your house, I am not interested in whatever it is that you have to say!! ” He yelled out as tears flowed down her cheek, Lisa felt her heart shredded
Lisa sat on the couch while staring into blank space as heard could not stop rolling down her cheek, Harry had locked the door against her and no matter how much she pleaded, he wasn't going to give her a listening ear. Mrs. Joyce had tried everything in her power to console her, but Lisa was too broken to even listen to him. But when she was almost dozing off, the doorbell rang and Mrs. Joyce rushed over to go check up on it. “Welcome Mr Williams, it is so nice to have you here”“Thank you, Mrs. Joyce, how is Lisa has she eaten anything?””Not at all, I have tried every tactic that I could, but she would not even listen to me” Mrs Joyce explained as her eyes trailed down to the young man who was standing next to Williams. “And who is this?”“He is a lab technician and just needs to run some tests on Lisa”“Test, why would you need to run some test?” She asked but Williams did not have the patience to answer her question, it took him quite an effort to get Olivia to his house and now
They all stood there and watched the lab attendant draw out some samples of her blood, once he was through, he turned to Harry. “I have all that I need Sir, and the result should be ready by tomorrow”“Alright, do not leave any stone unturned, be as certain as possible about the accuracy of the result”“Yes Sir” He nodded and scurried out of the house. “I will see him off and be back” Williams expressed as he followed behind and it was just left with Harry and Lisa in the living room. The air around the both of them seemed tense, Harry had not been comfortable with the awkwardness, so he stood up and was ready to leave until she spoke. “Is this what we have suddenly become, that the both of us can't be in the same room without you feeling comfortable?”“This is my house, nobody can make me feel that way, I just can't stand seeing you, it sends the picture of your nude being online to my face”“It has been deleted, Mr. Alfred pulled some syringes to get it all taken down”“But that d
Mr. Alfred knew she had a point there, the phone was silent for a while before he spoke again“I understand you Lisa, and I think that you have a point, but how about I come to your place in disguise because I think that we should discuss about the issue at hand”.“I still do not think that is a good idea, perhaps you can come over to my office today and let me hear what is so important that you can't wait” She concluded and ended the call. Lisa placed the baby in his crib and drove off, Emily felt so relieved seeing her daughter back home but Lisa was more furious to see that Sophia was also there. “Finally! You decided to come back home, I was so scared thinking that you would run away ”“What is she doing here?” Lisa's face widened in a frown, there were dark circles around her eyes and her face looked pale and worn out. “Who? Oh you mean your Aunt, I was so worried yesterday so I called her over, we searched for you in all the places that we could and even had to call your friend
Harry woke up that morning feeling sore as he stretched himself to all angles of his bed. He slid away from the bed and strode over to the living room where Lisa had spent the night, but she was no longer there neither were her bags except for Mrs. Joyce who was cleaning the couches, and no doubt she knew that she had left. “Good morning Sir, do you need anything?”“What about my wife?”“She left early this baby with Baby Jay!”“Okay” He sighed as a flush of disappointment filled his face before falling back on the large armchair in the living room, he also looked pale with dark circles around his eyelid, no doubt he had a hard time shutting his eyes last night. “You look so stressed Sir, How about I make you something to help calm your nerves”“Thanks, but I will be fine” He replied but it came out as a whisper, just then the doorbell rang and Mrs. Joyce went over to open the door. “Good day, Mr Williams” She greeted before stepping away from the door. “Good morning Sir! ” Williams
Once Lisa had arrived at work that day, she buried herself in work going through every ongoing project that had been waiting for her, and realizing how bad her stock had dropped shattered her heart into pieces, most clients had withdrawn their orders, and the orders that have been delivered we're not satisfied with it asking for a refund when knowing that it was the exact thing they asked for that was given. “Come in! ” Lisa finally ushered whoever it was in after thinking for a while about the predicament of her company, it was going down the drain and this time, there was no one to help her. “Ms. Lisa, all the employees are ready and waiting for you at the conference hall”“Alright, I will be there soon” Lisa replied and expected her to leave, but Lexy stood there with a suspicious gaze. “Anything else?”“No ma, except you have a visitor and people are talking so much about it”“A visitor, who is that?” she narrowed her gaze at her secretary who stood before her. “The president
The entire hall became calm at her presence as they all had their eyes impaling at her, but she let her lips curl into an assuring smile. “Good day every one of you, I received all the gifts you all sent to me after my delivery and I must say that I am truly grateful”She started calmly hoping to ease the tension around their faces. “You all have been amazing here at Timeless, working with me through thick and thin, and to say that we have experienced so many obstacles would be an understatement”“But I also want to encourage you all to be strong during this time, rumors were set to frame me up because other methods have been used to try and bring me down and since it did not work, they were hoping to use this tactic. I will be doing a press release to clear out the air and once again, thank you all for your support and hard work in working towards making Timeless Fashion a great company”She concluded and there was a loud applause from the crowd and while some had a smile on their fa
