"What is going on?" The gentle voice of the pretty lady sounded in Henry's ear. He gulped as he tightened his fists together. His eyes were glued to her lips as she spoke calmly, and her voice sounded like music to his ear. "What is going on, young man? You look very stressed.""I... I... they..." Henry stuttered as he tried to get his voice back. One of the boys around began to narrate what happened to the pretty lady. She listened attentively, and her eyes moved from the young boy to the old woman and then to Henry. She sighed after he was done with the explanation and turned to face Henry. "I can see you are in a hurry," she told him.Henry's eyes widened, and he nodded quickly. "Yes, please. I'm in a hurry to meet up..." Henry paused, realising that he could not tell the lady yet that he wanted to meet with someone on a date.He cleared his throat, scratched his head, and quickly added. "With someone."He smiled awkwardly, hoping that somehow she would be able to help. He n
The atmosphere in the Guild family did not remain the same after the little encounter and the discovery in the dinner. The entire members of the Guild family were shocked and left in awe and unbelieve about everything that went on in the party. They still found it difficult to believe that the poor Henry who they had all looked down on just a while ago was actually the heir of the Floater family whom they had all been waiting for."You know this is all your fault right?" Linda asked her mum as soon as they were in her room. "What do you mean by that?" Catherine asked with her hands akimbo.At this time, Richard had already left them and they didn't even notice his absence because they were still overwhelmed by everything that happened."You were the one who advised me to start being mean to Henry." She said amidst gritted teeth. "I loved him for real before, I actually really did love him and was ready to go any length for him." Linda cut in.She was pacing around the room now with h
"So, what have the board members decided?" Henry asked one of his executives present in the conference room.He leaned back on his seat and observed carefully as he watched all the members of my executives making their respective suggestions.He was having a meeting with his board members on how they were going to start running the company. Given that it was one of the phases of his heir test, he had a little help from his mum even though she trusted him so much to be able to pull this through, after all he accomplished the first one successfully without any problems."And we were also supposed to have this meeting with the Guild family, but we received a message from them that they would not be available for the meeting." Mr Boniface cut in after a while."Well, then we would schedule another meeting where we would have a proper discussion with them on how to start the company." Henry retorted and adjusted his tie. Linda's face appeared in his head and once again, he remembered what
Linda and her family were about to start having their dinner when a knock was heard on the door. She stood up and went to open the door while her mom and James continued talking.Linda opened the door, and a weak smile appeared on her face. It was one of her coworkers. She flashed a smile at Linda, too, as she spread her arms open to hug her. Linda fell into Mary's arms, and Mary hugged her for a few seconds before letting her go. She pecked her both chin. "I've missed you so much, so I decided to come over and check up on you," Mary told Linda. Linda smiled. She knew that Mary didn't just show up to check up on her. Mary would only visit whenever she was bored and wanted to join James and Linda's mom to make a joke of Henry. Henry was no longer here, but Linda was still sure there was something else that made Mary show up there by that time of the night. "That's thoughtful of you, Mary. When did you become so nice?" Linda teased Mary. She let her in and locked the door after.
Henry's eyes were wide open and his eyes twitched as soon as his ears got wind of the rest of her words."It's nothing big, I mean..." Her voice trailed off and she simply shrugged her shoulders. Henry held her gaze as different kinds of words began to run through his head at the same time. She already knew he was the Floater heir. She was probably some lowlife gold digger who intentionally ran into him just so she could milk him and take advantage of him.Henry furrowed his brows in disgust as his fists began to clench under the table."I wonder what a pretty lady such as you could be asking of me," Henry said and swallowed hard while he awaited for her cringe worthy answer."Don't worry," she said in a somewhat amused tone and leaned forward. "I'm not asking for too much, it's something you can easily pull off."Henry almost hated her guts and the audacity with which she made the request, he could not believe that this was the same lady he had spent a lot of time thinking about and
Henry was dumbstruck for the first few minutes and his brows raised, of course it would have been normal for him to have a visitor in his office at that time, but what caused his uneasiness was the concerned look on Harrison's face when he informed him about the visitor."Who is he?" Henry asked under his breath, his voice was a bit shaky no matter how much he tried to compose himself."He..." Harrison stuttered. Henry ran out of patience and quickly walked into his office to see who the surprise guest was.Henry rolled his eyes the moment he got into his office and his heart skipped a beat the moment he saw the back of the man who was sitting in his office. What did he want from him anyway?Henry's fists were clenched as he walked towards his seat while bracing himself up for the tough time he was about to have."I've waited for you for a while," the man said as soon as he sighted Henry.Henry swallowed hard as he pulled out a chair to have a seat. After he sat down, he straightened
Henry was bored at home and was tired of going through his phone. He looked around the room and decided that since he wasn't doing anything at home at the moment, he decided to get a few things from the grocery store. He would easily ask a maid to get them for him, but he was already used to doing a few things by himself. He stood up from the bed and walked into the bathroom to take a shower. He dressed up and walked out of his room with his cell phone. "Sir," one of the maids stopped him on his way out of the house. Henry stopped and turned around to face the maid. "I'm sorry for intruding, sir," she continued. "You have been quiet since you moved in. Just in case you need anything, sir. I am the assistant head maid, and I will be here to help in any way that you wish."Henry smiled and nodded his head. "Of course, thank you for the offer."Henry walked out of his house, got into his car, and drove straight to the mall. He walked into the mall and began to stroll around in searc
Linda walked out of the mall after shopping. She didn't get to pick everything she wanted to pick from the mall because she didn't want Henry to drive too far before she got out of the mall. She wanted to see Henry, even though it was only the back of his car driving off. She was relieved when she walked out and saw his car still packed outside the mall. She thought that she should approach him now and just apologize as advised by Mary. She took a few steps closer with her heavy legs, but before she could get to sight, Henry started his car engine and zoomed off. Linda folded her fist and gulped saliva. She was shocked that Henry would leave just like that. She replayed how Henry was in the past. He worshiped her. He treated her like she was a demigod. He didn't let her out of his sight. He was so scared to lose her. Henry didn't just tell her that he would not be able to breathe properly without her in his life. He didn't just tell her that he needed her. She showed her that he lo
