"Why are you delaying in saying what you have to say, Mr. Sterling? Please go ahead, I am sure you have important things to do after this meeting," Mr. Alistair said, folding his hands.From the way he spoke, you could tell he was tired of Mr. Sterling's speech, "I am sorry if I am wasting your time. The beautiful, and intelligent lady I speak about is nobody but my daughter here, Fiona," Mr. Sterling muttered, smiling, as he tilted his gaze towards his daughter.Mr. Alistair tilted his head towards Fiona. Fiona felt angry, and disgusted at her father, but she couldn't do anything because she had promised him a few hours ago in his office. "She smiled at Alistair."She's not bad, she's also part of the board of this organization, that's great. Well, you can get my number from your dad, maybe we will sit out for dinner or lunch.""That won't be a problem. When you are ready you can contact my dad, if I am free it's a date, but if I am not. We will have to postpone it, what do you thin
Ethan's gaze moved to his table, "I guess I have to start going. I have a lot of work to do.""Go ahead," Ethan replied, as he walked to his table. He got hold of his phone, it was Elara calling. His lips curved into a smile when her name popped up.Immediately he answered, "Good afternoon my baby.""Good afternoon my love," she replied, smiling in her room."How are you, and how's your day going?" Elara asked."My day is going great. What about you, how are you doing, and how's your day going?" He asked as he sat down."Yeah, I am having a good day. I was missing you, and I decided to hear your voice," she replied blushing."Awwwwn, that's lovely. How about we head out to one of the expensive restaurants tonight for dinner?" He asked, whirling around his chair.She delayed before answering, "To be sincere with you, I don't think if that will be possible Ethan. My parents are complaining about me not eating dinner with them. You know my parents right?"Ethan huffed, "Yeah I understand
(The Next Day)Elara woke up very early, she decided to act on the advice of Oliver. After thinking over it for some time, weighing the pros, and the cons. She found out it would be better if she spoke to her ex-husband herself.Besides she has nothing to lose, all she has to do is beg for his forgiveness. Beg on behalf of her parents, and look for a way to get into his head. Maybe seduce him, or do something to make him happy.At that point, she brings up the idea of her father getting his job back. Hopefully, in that state of his, there's every tendency he's going to answer her request without even thinking. This was Elara's plan.She got away from her bed and dashed straight towards her bathroom. She did her morning routine, starting with mouthwash wash, and skin care, before finally having her bath. When she was done bathing, Elara stepped out of her bathroom with a towel tied around her chest, which didn't extend to her knee. She walked towards her wardrobe with an ugly, and sat
After a few minutes of waiting, her eyes became heavy, so she decided to sleep for a while. She felt if Mr. Alistair showed up, there was no way she wouldn't know.Elara adjusted her chair backward and slept off with her windows clocked.*****Mr. Alistair, was outside waiting for Layla, and Nathan to step out. He still didn't understand why they were inside. They were done with their breakfast before he started eating. Which means they should be the ones waiting for him, not the other way around.He glanced at his wristwatch, time was ticking. He had something important to do at work today. He has refused to share this with Nathan, and Layla, it's an action he wants to carry out on his own.He looked at Reagan who had his gaze on him. "Can you please check up on them? Time is ticking, and before you know it we are already late.""Give me a few minutes boss," he replied as he walked towards the door. He was about to open it when they both stepped out, with their arms interlocked. Reaga
Mr. Alistair kept mute for a few minutes before he spoke up. "Fine, let's discuss it in my car," he replied and took her hands as he led her to his car.Elara locked her car by pressing the button on her key as she walked to his car. Immediately Reagan saw them coming, and without being told, he came out of the car. "Thank you," Mr. Alistair said to him, before getting into the car.Reagan walked over to the security office instead of just loitering around. Elara sat down in the car staring at him. He was also staring at her. "You said you have something to tell me, I am listening."She nodded her head and gulped hard before speaking. Mr. Alistair had a preconceived thought of Elara wanting to talk about their marriage. He remembered his plan to have her on his side, maybe this might be an opportunity.Elara on the other hand was thinking about the perfect way to start and ended up convincing him to get her Dad back to the computer. "Alistair, it's funny how the tablet turns quickly.
"Come to think of it, we all have secrets. Don't you?" He asked as he took her hands."Yes I do," she nodded her head."Do you know what will happen if those secrets of yours get into the public?"She kept mute for a few seconds before she spoke up. "Don't worry about the outcome of it. What are you saying concerning my Dad?"He withdrew his hands from hers, "I am sure I don't have water in my mouth. There's absolutely nothing I can do about it."She shook her head, "Do you know what? I am going to give you time to think about this. I will be back for a reply. I know this is too much for you to process.Take your time to think about it. I believe you are going to find a way to get my Dad back to his job. I trust you Alistair, besides I also want to propose something to you.""Do you want to propose marriage to me?" He asked, and they both chuckled."Come on, you know I can't do that," she replied. "Well, I want to ask you out for dinner.""On a dinner date? Won't your boyfriend be mad
"That girl must be high on something. Despite knowing the gravity of her father's crime, she still wants him to get reinstated. That's unbelievable," Nathan muttered as he walked to the fridge to get bottled water."Yeah, that's unbelievable. You know I feel this is a kind of trap. Yeah I know I might be wrong, yet I don't think I am wrong. But if I am to analyze this, I will say they want you to reinstate him, and then use it against you," Layla muttered as she sat down."What do you mean by that, can you please explain in detail" Mr. Alistair asked as she sat down."Sure I can, remember I said I might be wrong. But we can't just turn a blind eye to everything we need to take a look at things critically. If you do, bring back her father to this company.It's going to make others think you are in support of what you did. Or you both are partners, that's the reason you brought him back so he won't expose you.Or better still, it's going to give a bad image or interpretation of you to t
Mark strolled into his office looking sober, "What's going on, are you well?" His female colleague asked immediately after she saw the look on his face.Mark ignored her and walked to his cubicle. She stood up, and walked to his cubicle, "Talk to me Mark what's going on? I have never seen you in this mood, did something bad happen?"Mark kept mute with his head bowed. She sat down staring at him with different thoughts running through her mind. "Mark talk to me, what's going on?""Can you just let me be? Can't you see I am not ready to talk? You said it, you haven't seen me in a mood like this. Aren't you supposed to know that something is wrong?You asked me a question, and I didn't reply. Aren't you supposed to know that I don't want to talk about it for now?""I am sorry, I just thought...""You just thought what? Please let me be, just let me be. I want to be left alone, this is more reason I would have loved to stay at home. But I can't stay at home because of work.Please do me
