Baby and Daniel looked at Jack with no expression on his face while Jack smiled at them." Baby," she said and smiled. Goodness! She was calling him that name again. Why did the name even seemed to make him cringe?" Meet, Jack and Jack, meet baby" She said again. Why did everything seem so tense? She thought and looked at Baby. He looked like someone that had a very irritated look on his face. Right! What was he even expecting anyway? For someone that his father had two gardens that would differentiate between the poor and the rich, he did not expect that he would act so nice to him. Nevertheless, he still brought forward his hands in a bid to shake the guy. " Hi, I am Jack and you are?"" I just introduced him to you. His name is Baby"Huh? Baby? What sort of a babish name is that? He wondered as he looked at the guy who would not even acknowledge his handshake." Nice meeting you" he said dryly while Mira scoffed. " That's so rude of you, do you know that?" Mira scolded. " I do
You've got no shame because if I get angry, I will overlook the fact that I am doing all of this because of Mira. Where I sit, commoners like you don't ever dare to sit down there!" He said again while he shrugged. How's that any of his business? If Mira had not invited him to come over, he would not stand the chance to come here. Moreover, what relationship the both of them had was what he did not even understand. But then, one thing was sure. He was too proud and arrogant to be her boyfriend or was he not sure of her taste? He wondered again. But women would always fall at his feet with all of his exciting words but why did it seem like it was not even the same with this woman? Why did it just seem like she was so difficult? Just then, his phone rang out loud. That was what made Baby stare at him. This phone was not just an ordinary phone or was he seeing things? He thought and snatched the phone from Jack. " Hey, what do you think you are doing?' He asked again." Man, check
" I don't understand what you are talking about" She said and looked at her brother sternly. She knew when he was being serious and when he was joking around but then, she did not know what exactly to believe now. She did not understand if what he was saying was the truth. " He's a fraud. You have to believe me and cut off all ties with him. You know, you still have not told me if that guy is your boyfriend or not!" He said again while she scoffed. Her brother was being so unbelievable right now. Was it because she did not give Daniel a chance and that was why he was behaving that way? Is that it? She thought again. " Is it because I did not give your friend a listening ear? Is that why you choose to tell good lies against him? I really don't understand what's going on with you, Baby!"" Are you raising your voice at me because of that commoner? Should we start it this way?" He asked, getting angry already." Fine, Baby, I am sorry but we are just meeting after two years and have ba
For a while, he was stunned because he wondered if she had already known about him. Well, was it high time he revealed everything to Mira? What if this woman stayed away from him because he had kept such an huge truth from her all these while and refused to say anything about it? What did he have to say about that? He was already trying to imagine what her reaction would be at that moment. Several minutes passed but it did not seem like Jack was going to talk about it. Within him, he did not know what had promoted her to ask that kind of a question. Was it because of the phone he was using? Had Baby said something about him that she was starting to see him in another perspective? What's going on? He thought again. " I am talking to you," She said again, seriously. " What do you mean? I don't understand what you are talking about" He asked differently." They said you are a fraud or something and .." She stopped and sighed. " Whenever Baby is serious, whatever he says is usually t
She looked at him for a while and scoffed. Why would this man try not to be transparent? Was it that worse and tiring to be a commoner? She did not see anything bad in being a pauper so far he was making decent money. Why then did he have to be so shy when she was not even shy of him? Being broke was not a crime and no law said that they should feel ashamed about it. " Jack, I have told you so many times that you should not try to prove that you are what you are not. It does not make sense, okay? All you just have to do is be yourself and everything will be made easier" Mira said again while he sighed. This was why he did not want to say anything. It was completely irrelevant. She would not believe him just the same way that others would not. " You really don't believe me?" He asked again, wanting to be sure of what he heard." Jack, you don't have to pretend. No matter how poor you are, I will not look down on you because it's never your fault, okay?" She said and held his hand.
Hey!" He said dryly. Zoe could sense that all was not okay with the way he had sounded. Baby was always so jovial. What then was going on? She thought again." You okay?" She asked again, trying to sound so nice knowing that she was not an entirely a good cousin to him.." Of course! Do you know who Jack is?" He asked immediately. It's the first day he's arrived home and all he could ask was Jack? She wondered, feeling so irritated as she thought of the guy. She could not deny the fact that she hated the guy's guts and merely hearing that name further irritated her the more. " Yeah! Some sort of a dog that my sister follows around!" She said and scoffed." Is that her boyfriend?" He asked again, really wanting to be sure about it while Zoe sighed over the phone." I really don't understand what exactly is going on between the both of them but what I know is that it seems that they are pretty good friends and Jack just wants to gain from us!" That was a really good plan for someone
" So, Mira, where did you meet this guy?" Daniel asked again as he watched Jack eat his meal in silence. Baby did not bother to have any meal because he really felt so irritated eating beside a commoner. At his father's house, commoners like him were either the security guards or his maids or something even lesser than that. Now, seeing him would not even let him eat because he really felt so irritated. It was the very first time that he would be sitting with a pauper on the same table, under the same tent. That had never happened before! " Where I met my boyfriend is none of your business! Just stay clear off me!" She said again. What? Did she not tell him that he was nothing but a friend to her? What the hell is seriously going on? Baby thought again and looked at her in shock. " Wait? What?" He asked while Jack looked at her. Why did she have to tell lies that they were lovers even when they are not? It would only make things more complicated and they could make things harder fo
She looked at him for a while and scoffed. " Jack, sometimes, you need to know when I am being serious and when I am joking. This deal I am talking about is not just a child's play. This is actually what would change our lives forever because he is a very important man to my father" She said curtly." But I can just help you out to ease the stress. you do not even want to go but it seems that your father would not let you be if you do not go."" So, what do you want to do?" She asked." Like telling someone to go in your stead or I can help you secure the deal, What do you think?" He asked her seriously. He was sure that he would get the deal done without having to worry about it. " It's fine, Jack. I know that you are trying to help me out but all I am telling you is that it's not just what you think it is. These are important people and any little thing could make my father loose his potential clients. But still, thank you. It just can't work. The business world do not work that w
