Benedict and Miguel sat in different couches facing each other. The large screen of their television was turned on, but none of them concentrated on what was being displayed on the screen. Miguel's attention was on his phone while his father's gaze was fixed on a newspaper. Miguel was going through photos from Natasha's birthday when he suddenly stopped. He saw Natasha stealing glances at Henry. He also noticed the way Henry stared at her in most of the photos. "Dad," he called as he suddenly sat up and moved to the edge of the chair.Benedict, who was also leaning on the couch, moved the newspaper to a corner. "What?" Benedict asked. He wondered why the kid was bothering him. "I just got a few pictures from Natasha's birthday," Miguel told his dad. "From?""From someone, look!""Come on, Miguel, those pictures are not even important."Miguel groaned as he stood up from the couch and went to sit beside his dad. "Have you seen the pictures yet? Don't act nonchalant about this
Henry sat behind his office desk, checking his wristwatch every single minute. He hadn't done anything productive the whole day. "Cancel the meeting," he told Harrison earlier when he came to remind him about a meeting with some shareholders. Henry wished he could go home earlier, but he would end up sitting around his bed and doing nothing. The door opened, and Harrison walked into the room. Henry raised an eyebrow at him. It's more of a questioning eyebrow. "I knocked," Harrison explained to Henry. "I knocked more than thrice, and there was no response. I wanted to make sure you were fine here." Henry shook his head. "I scared you for no reason. I am very okay. Just that I've been thinking about too many things lately."Harrison sighed as he walked further into the office. "You don't seem okay," Harrison said. "You've been acting a bit weird since this morning."Henry shook his head again. "I'm okay. I am just stressed, but I'll be fine. I just need a little rest."Harrison
Natasha knew that what she had just said was a lie, it was more than her trying to get friendly with Henry, it was equally more than her trying to get along with him. She wanted to get closer to Henry, and this time around, it was not just about the company anymore. No matter how much she tried to make dinner or lie to herself, she still couldn't erase the fact that she may be falling for that arrogant man."Oh! Dear." Cassandra suddenly exclaimed as her eyes moved to the wall clock. "You must be running late for your date, I'm sorry for keeping you." Natasha rolled her eyes and shrugged her shoulders."It's not a date, mom." She quickly jumped into her defense. "We just had dinner together." Natasha said with a frown."Oh! Whatever." Mrs Bay exclaimed and waved her hand. "You can leave for your dinner now, we don't want to keep Henry waiting." Natasha rolled her eyes again and started walking out of the room."Wait," she suddenly heard her mother call and turned around."What, mom?
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
