Henry lifted his head immediately after the door to his office opened. He fixed his gaze on the door, waiting patiently for whoever was outside the door to walk in. Immediately after Linda walked in, her eyes locked with his, and he gulped. He wondered why she was there. She had a box of pizza in her hands, and she stood by the door with it for a few seconds. Her right leg was placed forward, and the left leg stood behind it. She stared back at Henry seductively for a second before locking the door and moving towards him. Henry held his breath as he took in her sight. She wore a very short tight dress, revealing her boobs and showing off her thigh. Her perfume smelled nice and tempting. Just the way Henry loved them. She applied shiny lipstick to her lips, which also attracted Henry. He gulped down hard on his saliva as he stared at her. Memories of the times they spent together began to flood his head. His eyes were fixated on her as she proceeded towards him.She placed the box
Natasha got into her car and quickly drove back home in anger. She could not believe what she had just seen. Henry was still seeing his ex-wife. When she got home, she went straight to her room. Thankfully, her parents were nowhere around, so there was no one to ask why she was looking pale. Immediately after she got into her room, she shut the door and fell to the floor. Tears began to drop down her eyes. She could not explain the reason why she was feeling the way she was, but she knew that she was not feeling good at all about what she had just seen. She sat on the floor crying for a few minutes before she began to feel dizzy. Natasha slowly stood up to her feet and dragged her feet to her bed. She fell on her bed immediately and stood in front of it. She lay there facing the ceiling while she tried to get the thoughts of what she had seen off her head. There was no point breaking her head over it. She hoped that everything would be fine eventually. She was still thinking dee
Madame Gu was in her office when Henry got home tired from all the work he did in the office. He had a lot of meetings to attend that day."I can see you came in very early from the office today." He heard his mother call from her office.Henry stopped in his tracks and turned to face the direction of his mother's office where he heard her voice come from."Mom," he said and walked towards her. "You seem busy." He said looking at the piles of paper on her table."I am going through some documents of the company." Madame Gu said and looked up at Henry who was standing there and looking down at her. "Why did you suddenly get back early today?" Madame Gu demanded."I feel very tired from all the work in the office, so I decided to come back earlier and have some rest. Besides, I closed a deal today." Henry said and pulled out the seat opposite his mother's table."I can see..." Madame Gu said and took a long pause while looking at the documents still on her table. "You are doing very we
Henry went to the office earlier than usual that day because he had a meeting scheduled for that afternoon with a new business associate. He had been informed about this deal sometime ago and finally decided to give it a try.Harrison was already in the office by the tune Henry arrived and he could not help but feel impressed about how dedicated he was."Pray tell me, did you sleep in the office?" Henry asked with his brows raised.Harrison laughed and shook his head. "I woke up earlier than usual just to be early to the office because I knew that you were going to come early." Harrison said with a smile on his face.With that, he took Henry's briefcase from him and they both walked to Henry's office together."I'm supposed to meet up with a new business associate today, we need to finalize a deal and finally get the contract signed." Henry told Harrison who nodded his head."Do you need anything, sir?" Harrison asked when he was about to leave the office and Henry gave him a cornere
"Long day?" Henry heard in the dark as soon he got into the house. He paused in his tracks and turned on the light to see his mother sitting on the couch with her laptop in front of her. She also had a mug of coffee on the table in front of her."Mom? You are still up?" He asked and walked towards her."Yes." She said and took a long sip from her cup of coffee. "I decided to do a little survey on the company."Henry ran his hand over his head and sighed deeply. He knew his mother was worried about him, he knew she wanted to keep tabs on the company and make sure he did not make any mistakes. But he wished she would not worry so much.He thought of telling her that he had found the financial glitch she talked about, he wanted to tell her how he thought it was someone close by and had to be a close member of the Floater family.But he immediately decided against it. It was something he could handle on his own."Don't stay up too late, mom." He told her instead.He leaned downwards to ki
"What do you mean by my company standing a risk of getting kicked out of the market?" Henry asked amidst gritted teeth.He was already ruled up as a result of the issue with Natasha and the traffic he had to face, coupled with the fact that he had to drive back here because of some stupid investigations."I'm so sorry that we had to bring you back here, but it is very important that we attend to this."The bald pot bellied man with his suit barely fitted into his clothes, whom Henry suspected was the most superior, stepped forward and handed a printed paper to Henry."We got information about some shady businesses that you may be involved in, we have power from the government to conduct a search in your company."Henry scoffed and ran his hand through his hair."What do you mean by shady businesses? Where did such an Information come from? We only deal with legit businesses here." Henry defended while trying to avoid the paper that was being handed over to him."I told them the same t
Natasha fumed as soon as the call ended with Henry and tossed her phone carelessly inside her drawer. She ran her thumb over her eyes to get rid of the tears that were starting to gather around her eyes.Why did he have to call her and pretend like he cared when he was just in the arms of his ex wife a few days ago. Was he taking her for a fool or what?Natasha tried to get rid of the thought of Henry from her head and concentrate on her work but she just couldn't since flashes of their time together kept coming into her head and interrupting her work.But why did he call anyway? She asked herself as she leaned backwards on her chair, staring into space and tapping her fingers rhythmically on the table.She was gradually drifting away from reality and letting her thoughts get the better part of her as she went by. Only the gentle swooshing sounds made by the air conditioner which hung over her chair, and the gentle sounds made by her fingers as she tapped them on the table.What if he
Henry had no idea why his heart skipped the way it did when the question was thrown to the uniformed men who had gone to conduct the search on his premises. There was nothing to worry about right? He didn't have what they were looking for right?Henry's eyes narrowed as he fixed his gaze on the uniformed men who were trooping into his office with stern looks on their faces. He fixed his gaze on the face of the man who spoke."We did a thorough search around the premises just as you instructed..." The man started and Henry almost heaved a sigh of relief."You see?" Henry cut in, stepping forward. "You are just being unnecessarily dramatic," "Let him finish," the pot bellied man who had been in Henry's office cut Henry short.The uniformed man cast Henry a glance and continued. "He seems to be very crafty in hiding his dirt and covering his tracks." The man added."What the hell are you talking about?" Henry barked. "I have nothing to hide, that is why I gave you access to search.""I
