"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
Just as their lips were about to meet, Miguel's phone began to ring. He pulled away quickly and grabbed his phone. Ava cleared her throat and adjusted. She also adjusted her dress. She could not believe that she almost kissed Miguel. She told herself that whatever happened between his dad and her, it was all a dream. "Excuse me," Miguel told her as he grabbed his phone and stood up from the couch. He walked towards the window before picking up his dad's call. "Why do you have to call me now?" He asked."Did I interrupt anything by any chance?" He heard his father ask. He hissed loudly. He wasn't in the mood to exchange words with him at that point. He just wanted to get back to what he was doing before the call interrupted. "Just go straight to the point, I have to attend to something urgently."Miguel turned around immediately to stare at Ava. Her head was buried in her phone, and she seemed to be staring at something very important. He turned away from her once he noticed that
Natasha had just come out from the bathroom with a hand towel in her hand with which she dabbed her face when she heard her phone which was lying on the bed ding. She raised her brows and walked towards the bed to pick up her phone. Was it not quite a bit late for them to be texting her? Were they that excited to seal the deal with her company? She wished they knew how excited she was too. She could not wait to be able to finally share the news about the deal with her parents.There was a bright smile on Natasha's face as she reached out to her phone to check out the message that had just entered.The smile on her face slowly faded and her eyes widened when she saw the message that had popped into her phone."Do you mean dinner?" The message had come from Henry, and worst of all, he had even put a smiley emoji at the end of the message which probably meant she was mocking her."Ahhh!!!" Natasha heard herself scream out of embarrassment. She immediately jumped into bed and pulled the
"It's so nice seeing you after a whole year."It's been a year since Anna and Alicia saw Linda. They travelled out of the country and only came back a few weeks ago. They decided to visit Linda today. They missed her so badly, and they were happy to be with her again. Mary walked out of the kitchen with a tray in her hand. There was a bottle of wine and four glasses on the tray. She placed it on the small table by the side of the couch and joined the girls. "You look slightly different. Massive change within a year," Alicia complimented as she stared at Linda. "Different in a bad way or in a good way?" Linda asked. She didn't know why she felt uncomfortable with the visit. Especially their weird comments since they walked into her sitting room. "In both ways. You lost some weight, which could be good or bad."Linda sighed deeply without saying a word. "We have been commenting with our ex-mates in school. We could not attend the get-together but we heard some things."Linda gulpe
