"Honey you've been sitting static at a place since your dinner was served to you, do you need something different? I can have the maids do that for you." Mrs Bay's voice pulled Natasha rudely out of her thoughts and she immediately looked up.She slowly shook her head and straightened up her face to avoid the blush which she was sure was evident on her face at the moment."Uhmm... No mom, I'm okay." She said sharply and began digging into her food.She let out a soft smile after her mother looked away as she began to think about her moments with Henry the previous day.She kept asking herself repeatedly why she was getting excited but she could explain the reason either. She had hated Henry from the beginning when she was introduced to him, but now, all of a sudden the thought of him suddenly got her smiling.Especially when she thought of their last encounter. She could not forget the look on Henry's face when he saw her off that night, he had even tried to kiss her in front of her c
Henry woke up a few minutes before his alarm went off and went over to sit on his desk while staring at his bed where he had been lying.He had gone to bed the previous night thinking about everything that needed to be done today. First, he had the final board meeting to attend, then he also had to make preparations to welcome Madame Gu from the airport later in the day. She would be returning from the business trip which she had embarked on earlier. She had gone to meet up with top shareholders in the company to sign some documents which were needed for the hosting of the company. Henry could not believe that he had finally succeeded in carrying out this second mission, he could not believe that he did not end up as a failed heir after all. He had initially thought it was a difficult task to meet.Thinking about that, his thoughts drifted to Linda. She had been by his side all through the time that he pretended to be a poor man, only for her to betray him when it was almost time for
Henry swallowed hard and reached out for the envelope which was lying on the table, his hands shook in anticipation of what he was going to find inside.He had been suspicious of Ava, now it was time for him to find out if his suspicions were true.Henry was about to open the envelope when he remembered that he needed to pick his mother from the airport that day. His eyes moved to the wall clock and he realized that it was almost time for his mother to arrive at the airport and he should have been on his way there a long time ago.He swallowed hard and folded the envelope into his briefcase. "I will take a look at this later." He said and hurried out of his office.He knew he could have easily sent one of his drivers or his security men to pick his mother from the airport, but the arrangement had been that he would do it. Besides, they needed the paparazzi to take pictures just for the media. It had all been Madame Gu's idea by the way. According to her, he had just come into the busi
"How did the meeting go?" Mr Timothy asked Madame Gu who was leaning backwards on her table.They were now sitting in her office and having a conversation which seemed to be serious. To the point that Madame Gu didn't even bother changing her clothes before she went straight to her office. Henry had gone upstairs with a long face because he didn't want to be bothered about the meeting.There were some files in front of them which they both went through occasionally."It went well." Madame Gu said and took a long sip from the glass of wine in front of her. "I was able to get most of the major shareholders over to my side, they were willing to join me. I also found out that a good number of them were loyal to my late husband."Mr Timothy nodded his head and rested back on his seat."At least that is a good start." He cleared his throat."Now we are certain that Henry has a lot of back up." "If only he would just agree to the marriage with the Bay heiress." Madame Gu added. "It would be
Ava gasped and took a step backwards after Henry flung the envelope towards her and all the contents spilled over to the ground.She was about to ask what had come over him when her eyes caught one of the contents of the envelope. It was a picture of her and Miguel.She swallowed hard as she stared at the open picture while wondering what could be contained in the rest of them.Her breath hitched when she looked up at Henry and saw the fierce look in his eyes. His eyes were burning and she knew that she needed to keep away as much as possible before the fire in his eyes burned her."So you are a traitor." Henry said under his breath and took another step close to Ava who immediately moved back in fright. "All these while you were coming close to me, you have actually been working closely with my enemies to bring me down. I actually thought that you to an extent felt something for me, I didn't know it was just all a ploy to get me to trust you so that you will ruin me."Ava could see p
Ava stood there watching Henry as he got into his car and swallowed hard.She started to feel a bit hopeful when he didn't drive away immediately, she was wondering what was going through his mind and why he stayed back there. Maybe he would come back to her and give a chance not to explain. She thought to herself as she stood there watching his car while trying to fight the tears that were threatening to burst out of her eyes at any moment.She did not just feel disappointed when he drove away, she felt equally dejected and felt like her life was about to come to an end. If only he had given her the chance to explain.Slowly, she retraced her steps backwards with shaky legs and went over to sit on the bench Henry had been sitting on before she arrived.The corner of her eyes stung, no matter how she tried to hold onto it, it stung even more and burned till she could take it no more. Soon, she was unable to hold back the tears and they began flooding out of her eyes like a volcano of
Ava strolled around her room with a heavy heart. She soon stopped in front of her mirror and stood there to stare back at her reflection. Her eyes were red as she stared back at them. It seemed like she had been crying for a very long time. She picked up her from the table and stared at the blank screen for a few seconds until her vision blurred out. She sighed deeply and walked towards her bed. She sat there and stared at her screen again. She placed her finger on the fingerprint sensor. She scrolled through the app and tapped on her phone book. Henry's number was the first, second, and third number displayed there. She called him three times about three hours ago, another three times about an hour ago, and once, a few seconds ago. She sighed deeply and dialled Henry's number one more time. She wasn't expecting him to pick up, but she kept calling. She didn't know why she was still calling Henry, even though she was not expecting him to pick up. She had been calling him for the p
Henry did the last button of his suit at the same time as his phone beeped. He winced and reached out to take the phone which was lying on his table.His face immediately formed into a frown when he unlocked his phone and noticed who the message was from.Ava has texted him for the umpteenth time begging to meet up with him and explain things."Henry, please, can you stop ignoring me? Let's meet up and talk this out. I beg you, I can explain everything that happened. Just give me a listening ear." Henry could read the tone of the message, in fact, he could even read the entire text message in her voice.He scoffed and tossed his phone to a corner and went ahead with his dressing. What exactly was she trying to explain? Why did she come close to him pretending to like and care about him when she was only trying to ruin him? Or why was she working hand in hand with his enemies to ruin his company? What reason is justifiable enough for her to do that? There was a deep frown on Henry's
