Just as soon as Henry alighted from his car, the first person his eyes met with was Linda who had equally just alighted from her car.Henry stared at her for a while as she got down from the car and straightened herself, then she flipped her hair before she suddenly looked towards Henry's direction and their eyes met for a brief moment.Linda found it difficult to look away as she stood dumbstruck staring back at Henry.She had earlier had the idea that Henry was going to be at the party since he had always had this closeness with Asher, but she had exactly no idea why her heart skipped a beat when she saw him come down from his car.Henry held Linda's gaze for a long time before his eyes moved over to her neck and he swallowed hard when his eyes caught the necklace glistening on her neck.The necklace brought back memories.He remembered when she mocked him for being unable to afford that necklace which at that time had become a fashion amongst the women of substance in the town. Ric
Linda was sitting beside Richard as she watched Henry snub the young petite lady who was sitting beside him all through the party and trying to get his attention. For some reasons, she felt herself heave a deep sigh of relief when she noticed that Henry paid no attention to the girl. She probably still had a chance with him.She wished she could walk up to him and actually apologize for all the embarrassment she had caused him in the past and equally beg him to take her back. But she knew it was almost impossible because Richard kept hovering around her and she absolutely hated it. She was in Richard's arms when she noticed Henry whispering to Asher, she believed that he was about to go back home.He cast her one last glance after he exchanged a handshake with Asher before he walked out of the hall."Are you ready to go?" Richard asked her after every one who attended the party began to discard one after the other. He had a glass of wine in his hand.Richard had noticed her earlier gl
Linda stood in front of the mirror as she admired her beauty. She was still as beautiful as ever. It never got old. She had been standing in front of the mirror for almost five minutes. She had intentionally begun to dress up an hour before the time for the meeting so that she could take her time to look good for Henry. She had stayed in her dressing room for more than thirty minutes, trying to decide on what she would wear. She ended up picking one of her very tight gowns. She wanted Henry to see all her curves.She didn't forget how Henry always praised her for how she had the perfect shape. "Are you done yet?" She heard James scream from outside her door. She took a second to laugh at herself before walking away from the room. She picked up her handbag and phone and walked out of the room. She met James waiting outside the room for her. He stared at her for a while. He was surprised to see her that way. It had been a very long time since he saw Linda dressed that way. She had b
Linda pulled herself together and employed all the expertise and smartness her parents had instilled in her. As the heir of the Guild family's business, her parents had taken time to groom her and made sure she was a very strategic and intelligent business woman. She was not just beautiful, but she was equally very smart too and that was why she was made the CEO of the Guild family's company, to become the chairperson in the future.She exerted all her smartness and expertise in presenting her working plan which made Henry impressed and if not that he was still mad at her, he would have smiled brightly. But he pretended not to notice her and focused on the iPad in front of him instead.Even though he refused to look up and show how much he liked her presentation, he was deeply impressed by her. Henry had always known Linda as an intelligent woman, he had always admired the way she led her company with so much bravery and intelligence, that was one of the reasons he had fallen in love
After the board meeting had ended and Henry watched Linda leave, he dismissed the board member he was talking to and returned to his office to kick off his work from where he left it the previous day.He was trying to look into potential clients and possible places he could make some investments. Henry was determined more than ever to make the company work and make his mother proud.While signing documents and going through some mail, Henry surprisingly received an unexpected mail from a strange email address.He was going to ignore it at first thinking it was one of those numerous people who send several mails to beg for money. But then, something prompted him to check it out which he did.The mail read. "The pioneer business group is hoping to collaborate with you and invest heavily in your business. We are aware that you are trying to start up a new subsidiary of the Floater family business and would be needing all the help you can get. It would be a great honor to us if you can ac
The Bay family's mansion Jerry sat in his office, going through a few files when he received a text. He took his eyes to the phone immediately after it beeped. His heart sank when he saw the name that was displayed on the screen and saw that it was Fred. He had completely forgotten about Fred or not. He picked up the phone and unlocked it, using his fingerprint. He sighed deeply and blinked twice before reading the words on the screen. "I'd be back before Natasha's birthday. I hope that she knows about us already."Jerry's heart sank deeper into his stomach. He opened his mouth widely and left it open. His hands began to shake until he dropped his phone, and it landed on one of the open books on his table. He looked towards the door, and for a second, he thought he saw the door open, but it didn't. He wiped his face with both hands. Jerry stood up from the chair and walked away from the table. He was already close to the door when he remembered his phone, so he walked back to th
James and Linda walked into the big hall, which had now turned into a semi clubhouse. Linda had her eyes darting around the room for unknown reasons. "Everyone now looks bigger than they were five years ago," James said with wide open eyes. Linda quickly agreed with him. The last time she saw any of these people was during their last get-together five years ago.She turned to James with a smile as she sighted one of the funny guys then. She wanted to make a nasty comment about him, but she paused immediately after noticing that James had disappeared from her side. She looked deeper into the route he could have taken and saw him walking steadily towards a group of boys. "Sam!" She heard him call out excitedly. Linda rolled her eyes and hissed before turning in the other direction. God knows how much those boys annoy and disgust her. She began searching the room for her friends when she felt an arm over her shoulder. Linda gasped as she turned around quickly to see Mary standing b
Jerry was surprised that Madame Gu sent a text asking if he had seen her invitation. Although he hadn't received it yet, he knew it would come eventually. Madame Gu had never sent him a text to let him know about any invitation. He now got a special treatment from the almighty Madame Gu, and it made him smile. Just as Cassandra was about to ask what he saw that made him smile, a knock came at the door. "I will get the door," she said instead and was about to stand up when one of the maids walked out of the kitchen and walked towards the door. She opened the door and talked in whispers for a few seconds, while the couple observed her. Cassandra was clueless about who was outside, but Jerry knew it was the messenger from Madame Gu. After a while, the maid returned with the invitation and handed it over to Jerry. He pushed it over to his wife, and she quickly opened the invitation letter. "It's inviting us together with Natasha to Madame Gu's ball," Cassandra said with a smile. Th
