Henry thought of asking Ava why she took the documents from his office and what she intended to do with it. He even wished that she was standing right in front of him instead. It would be easier to confront her that way. He quickly decided not to ask her over the phone. She could easily deny it if he did. He wanted to see her facial reaction whenever he would ask her about it. He wanted to watch her struggling to deny it. He'd directly into her and monitor her heartbeat. "Henry, are you still there?" Ava asked.Henry was immediately drawn back to his conscious state. He quickly wiped his face and nodded his head. "I am still here, just dozing off a bit."Ava sucked her teeth."Okay, then. I'll just leave you to sleep.""Thank you so much for being so considerate. Thank you also for calling me and helping me out of the sleepless night I had. I still have a lot to do at the office tomorrow."After Henry hung up, he sighed deeply and leaned back on the bed frame. He knew that he was s
Ava left the house as early as five o'clock in the morning so that she would be able to catch up with Benedict before he left for work. She also had a few things to do in the office later that morning. She only had about three hours of sleep if not less. She knew she would end up dosing off the whole time at the office, but she didn't care.When she got to his house, Miguel was the one who opened the door for her. He smiled deeply when he saw her. He could not tell why he was excited about the fact that she was the one behind the door. He remembered that he had hissed when she rang the doorbell. He thought someone had come to disturb them so early in the morning. "Hello, Ava," he greeted her with the smiles still playing all over his face. "Where is your dad?" She asked in a hurry. He lowered his eyes and sighed sadly. "I was a fool to think you'd have come to see me."He was teasing though. They didn't book any appointment so he wouldn't think that she came to see him. But he w
Natasha's lips were tightly pulsed together as she read the name displayed at the top of the text. She did not know which was more annoying as she read the text over and over again, whether it was the fact that she felt disappointed that it wasn't Henry calling, or whether it was the fact that her ex boyfriend had the guts to text her even after she warned him repeatedly to never try to reach out to her again.Her fist tightened around the phone and her teeth clattered together until she felt like her flexed muscles were about to burst open. Letting out a deep breath, she released her muscles and sighed deeply.Why was she getting herself worked up over nothing in the first place anyway? She was simply going to ignore his text.She thought to herself as she opened her car door and walked into her car."No!" She said out aloud as soon as she got into the car and was about to take the wheel.She didn't need to simply ignore him. She scoffed and brought out her phone which she had earlie
"I want you to find out everything about Ava. Her movements, her friends, and every other thing you could think of. Just let me know whatever you find out, okay?" Harrison nodded. His brows were a bit furrowed, and his eyes slightly narrowed. Henry knew what was going through his mind at that point. He must be wondering if Henry had fallen for her already. Or maybe Henry was wrong about his thoughts. He didn't want Harrison to make findings with the wrong illusion in his head. He may end up finding out things that he didn't need and tossing the ones that were needed. "Every single thing you find out during your spying on her, I need to know. Even the most tiny and most useless information could be useful at some point. "Harrison nodded his head again. "Don't leave any stones unturned. Find out everything."He nodded again without saying anything. Henry was seated behind his desk while Harrison was standing in front of him. He had come to the office that morning to inform Henry of
Henry got home holding his briefcase in his hand limply while he walked into the house to meet his mother in a celebratory mood. She was sitting on the dinning table with a bottle of wine in front of her and a glass cup which was already half empty."Sweetheart, come this way, come on." She said as soon as her eyes met Henry and gestured on him to come towards her.Henry started walking towards her with his brows raised."Mom, what's going on?" He asked to study the bottle of wine in front of his mother.Just as he got close to the dinning room which was adjacent to the kitchen, the sweet aroma of cooking wafted through his nose and caused him to almost start salivating. He gulped down saliva and looked back at his mom who had already walked towards the wine cellar to bring an additional bottle of wine and another glass cup."What's with the celebration?" Henry asked, looking at his mother and the wine in her hand.His mother merrily drank the wine, and the smell of special cooking go
Ava walked into the kitchen, ignoring Miguel. She went straight to the coffee mixer to mix and pour some coffee for herself. She noticed that there were no maids in the kitchen or around the kitchen. She picked up a glass as she waited for the coffee to hit up. She was about to turn the coffee into the glass when she felt someone behind her. The hands wrapped around her and grabbed the glass. She already knew who it was, even before he revealed himself. "What the fuck is wrong with you?" Ava asked as she turned around quickly to face him. "You don't use that glass for coffee," he told her. He picked up another glass and pushed it towards her direction. She stared down at the glass without taking it from him. Miguel turned the coffee from the mixer into the glass and handed it over to her. "Here you go," he informed her as he stretched his hands to give her the coffee. "Thank you," she grudgingly appreciated and took the glass from him.Miguel grinned. He expected her to grab the
Henry scoffed, he could not believe that his mother was yet to get over this thought."Mum, I've told you that I no longer have feelings for Linda, we are already divorced and we are really over now." Henry said and shrugged his shoulders. He had no idea why he sounded like he was trying to convince himself more than he was trying to convince his mother that he no longer had any feelings for Linda. What if he still did? Why did he get excited when he thought about the board meeting that was coming up soon just before the ball which would mark the official launching of his company.Henry slapped himself on his forehead to stop the thoughts, but it was already too late because he heard his mother clear her throat, by the time he looked up, it was to find her staring at him with her lips pressed tightly together."I knew it." She said amidst gritted teeth and scoffed."What is it about that woman that is so hard to get over? Despite everything she did to you? Now you want to put your wh
Benedict walked into his friend's house. He was already waiting for him before he got there. The two exchanged pleasantries before they settled to discuss. "Can we talk here?" Benedict asked as he looked around the sitting room. "I live alone, remember?" Jason reminded Benedict. He was still looking around the sitting room as he searched the place with his eyes. He was searching for any sign of another person in the house. He was also searching for the maid, too. When he didn't find anything, he turned back to face Jason. "Where's the maid?" He asked Jason. Jason hissed loudly. "What do you think?" He asked. "That she would be around, and I would call you all the way here? Of course, not. I would have come to see you instead."Benedict nodded in sudden realisation. He didn't even think about that. "My maid has gone to see her family," Jason informed Benedict. "I gave her a two day break. She has been complaining about the fact that her mom has been sick for a while. I decided
