Linda walked out of the mall after shopping. She didn't get to pick everything she wanted to pick from the mall because she didn't want Henry to drive too far before she got out of the mall. She wanted to see Henry, even though it was only the back of his car driving off. She was relieved when she walked out and saw his car still packed outside the mall. She thought that she should approach him now and just apologize as advised by Mary. She took a few steps closer with her heavy legs, but before she could get to sight, Henry started his car engine and zoomed off. Linda folded her fist and gulped saliva. She was shocked that Henry would leave just like that. She replayed how Henry was in the past. He worshiped her. He treated her like she was a demigod. He didn't let her out of his sight. He was so scared to lose her. Henry didn't just tell her that he would not be able to breathe properly without her in his life. He didn't just tell her that he needed her. She showed her that he lo
Ava was standing in front of the sitting room. She was about to open the door and walk into the house, but she was undecided as to when she would do that since she wasn't sure of where her father was at the moment. She decided not to take chances. She walked towards the small door leading to the hallway. It was the only way she could sneak into the house without being seen by her father. Once she walked into the house, she first sighted her father seated in the sitting room. Her heart sank into her stomach immediately when she saw her father seated there in the sitting room. She sighed deeply when she looked closer, and realized that he was already asleep. She thought that he must have slept off while watching the show that was being shown on the large screen. She stared at the screen for a while. It was a boring show to her and she wondered why her father found the show interesting. She began to tiptoe into the house through the hallway when her mom suddenly bumped into her. Ava
Ava stood in front of her mirror as she admired her beauty. She applied a dark red lipstick and a black eye pencil around her eyes. She smiled in front of her mirror and winked. She was not satisfied yet with her looks. She felt like she needed a change of dress. She walked back to her dressing room and began to check through the dresses. She looked down at herself and tried to convince herself that her look was okay. She walked back to her dressing mirror and reapplied her lipstick. She picked up the perfume and sprayed around her dress. Ava knew that the scent was okay because she already applied body sprays and perfumes earlier, yet she still felt like they were not enough. Ava sat down in front of her dressing table and placed her face in her palm. She began to wonder why she was putting in so much effort to dress up for her meeting with Henry. She didn't like him, and there was actually nothing real going on with them, so why was she trying so hard to look good? Ava knew that
Henry checked his wristwatch for the umpteenth time, and Ava was not there yet. He tapped the table continuously using his finger. He kept staring at the door and back at the table. Someone walked into the open building at a beautiful spot in the park. There were a few people seated at different tables, but she ignored them all and walked straight to where Henry sat. He lifted his head immediately when she approached, and a smile curved on his lips, but the smile disappeared immediately when he realized that she wasn't Ava. She was smiling down at Henry, and Henry didn't recognise her from anywhere. "Who are you, and what do you want?" He demanded with a scorn. She sighed and tried to sit on the empty chair opposite Henry, but he quickly stuck his chair under the table and pulled the chair in. "Someone would join me soon, and I am sure she would not want to see you here," Henry told her. She hissed and walked away from the table. She found another table with a single man and joi
As Henry walked back into my office, he told himself that he would have to make it up to Ava next time. He was in a hurry and he had to leave her so early. He wished that he didn't have to leave that way, but it was unavoidable. As he walked into his office, he quickly summoned his assistant to his office. Harrison walked into the office and greeted him. He noticed that Harrison looked a bit sad. He had called to tell him that he got what he asked him to. So why was he still looking pale and moody? "Did you get it?" Henry asked Harrison. He knew that Harrison stated that earlier when he called, but he still wanted to be sure. "Yes, I did," Harrison replied. "Although it took time before I was able to meet with those top investors.""Thank you so much, Harrison," Henry said with a grateful smile as he shook hands with his assistant. Henry was excited that his assistant was able to do all of those within the short time he was given. He didn't expect it, and he was excited about it
Linda lay in her room with her eyes fixed on the ceiling as her back hugged the wall. She could hear her mom and James talking and laughing heartily like their whole lives depended on it. She could not stop wondering what was so funny. They had turned her into a shadow of her former self, and everyone else seemed to have moved on. She wished that she didn't listen to them at all. She was still contemplating how life would have turned out if she had waited a little longer when she heard a knock on her door. She stood up and walked towards the door.Linda opened the door and met James standing there. He had a neutral look on his face, so Linda could not guess what was going on in his head. "Someone is here to see you," James informed her. "He's from the Floater's..."Linda's heart sank when she heard the Floater's family, and she didn't wait for James to finish what he had to say before she stormed out of her room. James sighed and followed behind her. "You could not even wait for m
"You are wasting our time and delaying the growth of this company, Ava!" Her father thundered as he faced her fuming in anger.Ava's hands were folded under her breasts as she listened to her parents' nag. Whenever she opened her mouth to speak, one of them would have something to say and would shut her up automatically. "Why haven't you accepted the man we brought for you?" Her father asked her. "A good man...""Dad," Ava cut in. She was tired of watching them talk and talk without letting her defend herself. "You don't interrupt your father when he's talking to Ava," her mom scolded her. "But none of you would let me speak," Ava tried to defend herself. Her mom slapped her forehead. She wondered why the kid was being so difficult. She didn't want to listen to anyone and wanted to do everything her own way. She wished that her daughter knew what was at stake at that point. "Noe tell us calmly why you haven't still accepted the offer of marrying the person we asked you to get ma

It wasn't like he was nervous or something, he was certain that he had finally gotten over his feelings for Linda and would not feel nervous at the sight of her, but why was he restless?There was a lump on his throat all through that morning as he got ready for work, he just couldn't help but think about all the problems he had to face at that moment, following the visit from his father's relative the other day at the office, he knew that he was supposed to be up and doing and he really needed to hurry up with the company. He could tell that there was a plot against him but he didn't want to invest too much time in thinking about
