"If I notice for one that you are doing something else, Ava," Benedict threatened. Ava hissed. Shs stood up to her feet and walked towards his table. They were both seated in his study. While he was behind the table, she sat on the couch there listening to him speak. There was a bowl in front of Benedict, and there were two apples in the bowl. Ava picked one of the apples and walked back to the couch. Shs settled back on the couch, and bit from the apple, and faced Mr Benedict again. "What makes you think I'm doing something else? Why can't you just trust me?" She questioned. Benedict stood up from the chair. He felt like the table in front of him was blocking him from Ava. He grabbed the chair after the table and pulled it towards the couch. He sat on it and faced her. "Are you really not doing something else?" He asked and grabbed Ava by her jaw. She slapped his hands off. "I wouldn't be here if I'd decided to breach the agreement," Ava told Benedict. "I don't know why you s
Henry's eyes widened as soon as his eyes met with that of Natasha whose eyes were equally a bit lowered at the sight of him.What was she doing in his house? Why did she come here?Natasha's presence in Henry's house was so worrisome to him and he couldn't stop questioning why she was there. But more worrisome to him was the fact that his heart couldn't stop beating fast at the sight of her. He was sure it was not fear, neither was it anger. But why was he feeling that way at the sight of her? Henry hated the idea that was coming into his head and he immediately brushed it off.'Why are you here?' Henry wanted to ask but he immediately got rid of the thought. He knew it would be rude to ask that so he remained quiet instead."Uhmm... Are you here to see my mother?" Henry asked, struggling to keep his voice steady."No, I'm here for you." Natasha said, wearing an anxious smile on her face.Henry swallowed hard and dismissed the maid who was standing there.He raised his eyebrows while
On her way back home, Natasha asked the driver to stop by the cosmetic shop so that she could get some cosmetics for herself. She knew she would have asked one of her maids to get it for her later, but she chose to get it since she was passing by that way anyway.When she was done shopping, she went over to the cashier to pay when she suddenly heard a voice behind her.She turned around to see the unfamiliar face of a guy staring back at her with a smile on his face.'Who could he be?' Natasha asked herself inwardly since she could not recognise him."I'm sorry, but do I know you?" Natasha asked with her brows raised.The young man shook his head slowly, he still had a bright smile on his face."Actually, we've not met and I wasn't expecting you to know me. It's just that, I had been watching you from a distance all the while when you were shopping. I must confess that you are really beautiful and I thought that I needed to get familiar with you." He muttered.Natasha rolled her eyes.
"Coffee or tea?" Henry asked Ava, who was seated at the front seat of his car. She turned to him with a smile. "I'd rather we eat something slightly heavy. I don't want to drink," she responded. He nodded his head and continued driving. They stopped at a small restaurant that was not too far from Henry's office. When they alighted from the car, Ava looked around the place as though she wasn't comfortable. "They have very nice food here," he told her to make her feel relaxed. He didn't want to go to a fancy restaurant with Ava because he was scared that they would bump into Natasha there. He didn't know why he was thinking too much about her, and also considering her feelings. He wouldn't have agreed to eat out with Ava if he hadn't promised her earlier. Henry was not someone who played with his promises. I again had to remind myself that there was nothing serious going on with either of them, so it was pointless for him to feel this way. They got into the restaurant, and they b
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
