Natasha tried to pull out a seat but Henry beat her to it. He immediately stood up from his seat and rushed to pull out a seat for her before he could realise himself."Thank you," she said with the list steady voice she could muster.Henry was about to respond to her appreciation when his eyes caught something on her wrist. Sue had her bracelet on.Henry paused for a while and stared at it with his heart racing. He had that reaction because it wasn't just any bracelet, but it was a customized gold bracelet, and he wouldn't have had that reaction if it was just any customized golden bracelet. But the fact that the bracelet was part of the birthday gift he had given her earlier was enough to get him stuck at a place.She wore his birthday gift, and even wore it to the date. At first, he was thinking that she was planning to stand him up like he did to her before, but he was surprised at finding out that she actually came, and not just that , she wore his gift."I'm sorry, I must have k
Henry pulled out some documents from the drawer and began to search through them. He returned them to the drawer and closed it. He pulled out the second drawer. He was so sure he had placed the particular file he was searching for in one of the drawers. He shut the drawer and opened the first one again.The shuffling of the papers together with the sound. He had carefully checked the two drawers more than once, yet there was nothing to see there. Henry sighed deeply as he shut the drawers. He leaned backwards and began to stroke his imaginary beards. He narrowed his eyes as he thought about the file. He tried to remember where he dropped the files, but all he kept remembering was the fact that he dropped it in the other drawer. He knew that he was more mistaken.He stood up and walked towards the window. The rays of sun began to shine directly on his face. He looked out of the window. He was still wondering how the files disappeared from his drawer. He didn't remember removing it. H
Henry walked into his room and placed his suitcase on the floor beside his bed. He sighed deeply as he sat on his bed and cracked his neck. He stared into space for a while. Henry lay back in bed for a few seconds before going into the bathroom for a shower. He walked downstairs for dinner after his shower. "Henry," Madame Gu called out when he joined her. "Mom," he greeted her.She smiled at him. Madame Gu had noticed a few changes in her son. They were positive changes, and she liked them. He no longer frowned whenever he saw her. He seemed happier these days. She couldn't ask him what the secret of his happiness was, because she already knew. "How was work today?" Madame Gu inquired from my son.He paused for a while and stared up at his mom. He didn't know how to narrate what happened to her. He didn't even know where to start from, and it was hard for him to decide if his mother needed to know about it or not."Something crazy happened in the office today," Henry told his mom
Natasha had just finished getting ready for work, she was standing in front of the mirror and studying her face with a bright smile. She noticed that there was a kind of unusual glow on her face. She knew she had always been beautiful, she knew she was a beautiful woman but recently, she could not help but notice that she was glowing differently.She knew within herself that it was for a reason, all the glow was because of a reason, especially because of the fact that she was a lot happier now than she had been in the past few days, and she knew it was because of Henry. No matter how she tried to deny it or shove it off to a corner, she knew that that was the fact.For example, she could not help the smile that always appeared on her face whenever she received his texts or whenever she thought of him. Just like now."Stop it." She exclaimed and slapped her face when she noticed the colour that was rising on her face.How did she go so fast from hating him so much to blushing whenever
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
