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
"I never knew you would agree to talk to me," Miguel told Ava. They were seated facing each other, with a large table in front of them. The table was filled with different types of food. "Miguel, I didn't agree to talk to you. I started talking to you.""What difference does it make?" He asked her. They both giggled. There was a pause for a few seconds. Miguel took his time to admire Ava as she ate. He wondered why it took her so long to warm up to him. He still could not believe that his talent brought them close. She would probably never talk to him if he didn't have that talent. "Would you have warmed up to me if you didn't see me drawing that day? I mean, will you even talk to me?" Ava slowly lifted her head to face Miguel. She was unsure of what would have happened. She didn't know why she was disgusted and irritated at first. She just didn't want to talk to Miguel or have anything at all to do with him. She didn't know why. She also could not tell why his drawing melted he
Natasha straightened up her collar even though it didn't need to be straightened and when she wasn't satisfied, she ran into the bathroom built in her office to check herself out.It was finally the day for the final signing of the contracts, she had done a really good job keeping it away from her parents, she had planned to present the signed contract to them as a surprise and announce to them everything that has been going on if everything goes as planned.She smiled nervously as she looked into the mirror and let out several deep breaths."Everything is already finalized, what is the point of being nervous?" She asked while slapping her face to get rid of all the nervousness and swelling in her face.She took in a deep breath before she walked out of the bathroom. Her eyes moved to the wall clock, the investors would soon be there, it was left for her to put on her best business apparel and show them the stuff she was made of.Although she knew there was no need for all the poise a
Harrison returned to the office to meet Henry waiting for him."Where have you been?" Henry asked him. "I've been going around, trying to gather the information you need about Ava."Henry sighed deeply. He had completely forgotten that he sent Harrison on a mission. He could remember getting angry the previous day because Harrison was not around when he needed him. He had concluded that he would scold him today. He felt guilty even though he hadn't scolded him yet. He had asked where he was coming from calmly. "Do you have any information yet?" Henry asked, almost in a whisper. He looked around and beckoned Harrison to follow him to his office. He had completely forgotten why he was initially looking for him. "Let's not do this here."While they walked into the office, Harrison thought of several ways to distract his boss, but none of them would work. He was not ready to show Henry what he had yet. There was nothing suspicious about it. Henry would regret employing him to do the
