Grace's POV Timothy was smiling at me while I was glaring at him but seemed unfazed by my glare. "You don't know me because if you do, you will walk away because I will scream till everybody comes out and sees you and you won't like what I will tell them." I warned him. One reason I loved the occupants of our apartment buildings was that everybody knew me and everybody knew that I would stay on my own and not look for anybody's trouble. There is always somebody around somewhere, so I don't know what shit Timothy wants to pull but he should know it won't work. "I was already leaving." He said. "I just wanted to see you." He said softly and I rolled my eyes at his words. "Well you can go, you have seen me." I told him. "I want to see you walk up the stairs." Timothy said and I burst out laughing. "Do you think I am that stupid, do you want to attack me when I turn my back on you?" I asked and he seemed offended by my words because his demeanor changed. "What type of man do you
Grace POV"I was working and she just sent the text asking to meet up and I was considering it ,so I didn't bother replying." He explained but his explanation wasn't enough for me."Why do you still have her number, why haven't you blocked it?" I asked."I blocked her number before but I unblocked it because I needed to tell her to do something for me." He explained."Oh." I sighed."Sometimes I don't understand what men want." I sighed."What do you mean by that?" He asked."Oh nothing, it's just that I don't understand what you want." I replied.I am honestly tired of this."Grace, I want nothing from Natalia." He reassured me but actions speak louder than words.If he wanted nothing to do with her he would have blocked her number to stop her from contacting him.After all she did to him, does he still talk to her?"It's hard to believe since you can't even tell me a good reason you haven't blocked her number." I pointed out."What did Natalia tell you?" He asked."She said both of
Thomas's POV When Grace hung up the call on me I tried calling her but her number was switched off and all I could see was red. What nonsense has Natalia been saying about me? When did Natalia even tell Grace to begin with, when did they even start talking about me? Since Grace didn't answer I angrily called Natalia. She must be stupid for talking as if I accepted her request when I haven't even said yes. Natalia answered almost immediately. "Are you insane!" I yelled at her as I stumped my foot on the floor. "What did you do?" She asked in a panic. "What nonsense gossip have you used my name to tell?" I asked in anger. " Your family is just full of hypocrites, your father tells me he wants to work with me but goes behind my back but talks bad about me and now you are gossiping with my name!" I shouted angrily at her. What is even wrong with her whole family? Can't they just let me be? "I did no such thing." She defended. "Tell me why you want to see me because if it isn
Thomas POV I shook my head. "No, I muted most of my notifications this weekend. I was stressed." I replied to him still staring at my phone as I angrily swiped on the phone screen. Why wasn't Grace responding to my messages? "I think you should check the News." He told me and I glanced up to him and he had a small smile on his face. I tilted my head to the side and couldn't help but smile back. That's a new look on Mike's face because he rarely smiles, so I guess something interesting must be happening. Mike smiling was the only reason I needed to check the News and when I checked the news a sheepish grin broke out from my lips. "Well,well,well, isn't this excellent?" I laughed as I glanced over to Mike. My hard work had paid off. The news of Jasper Natalia's younger brother shipping illegal drugs was all over every News and social media. I checked further to see that Mr Grabiel's company was receiving a lot of backlash and bad reviews. This would seriously affect their com
Thomas POV"What?" Mr Gabriel asked in disbelief as if he didn't hear what I said just now.I haven't met someone so entitled in my life that he would dare call me to help him after he has insulted and humiliated me for years before I became rich."Thomas please forget the past because right now I feel like I am going insane and need help in any way you can help me." Mr Grabiel's pleaded desperately.I smirked at how pathetic he sounded but I decided to go along with the flow."How do you need my help?" I asked."Didn't you see the news?" He inquired, he didn't even wait for me to reply and gave me an answer to his question."Jasper, that stupid boy has ruined my name, he has ruined everything." Mr Gabriel cried out and I scoffed.Hearing him sounding like someone in pain brought joy to my heart."I just saw the news and there is nothing that can be done now, he was caught, you can't cover something like this up." I said nonchalantly.I know that if Mr Gabriel had known about Jasper s
Thomas POV I sighed as I stood laughing and glanced over to Mike who was staring at me strangely. "Don't worry I haven't gone crazy." I reassured him with a muffled laugh. "I never said you did." He replied. "Oh my goodness this is the most hilarious thing I have heard, I don't know what to say about it because I am speechless." I chuckled. "Can you believe that he sees me as a friend and dared to call me to help him." I shook my head in disbelief. He is even telling me that my company wasn't going through any crisis. It makes me wonder if he planted a spy in my company. I think that he must not be thinking straight, since his company was already in shambles so he's just calling anybody on his contact list to see if they can help him because I do not think he should have called me for any reason. "What is your next step sir? He has already started making a move to ask others for help." Mike reminded me and I smiled. "I know and I have already got everything ready, we just ha
Thomas's POV Even though Grace was standing right in front of me I could only stare wide-eyed at her, holding the cake and standing right in front of me. "Mr Thomas won't you let me in?" She asked. "Oh my goodness Grace, I have been trying to reach you." I exclaimed and she rolled her eyes at me. I know I sent Grace a message saying. "I don't know why you ain't talking to me anymore but 30 is my birthday." I didn't get a reply after I sent the message so I thought she didn't see it. "Could you just let me in now please." Grace said and I moved away from the door and let her in and closed the door. Grace walked into the living room and wanted to drop the cake on the center table but there were documents on top of it. "Could you move the files?" She requested and I rushed to take the files from the center table, excused myself and headed to my room , while she dropped the cake on the center table before proceeding to open her handbag and bring out candle sticks and a lighter. I
Thomas POVOliver stood at my door holding a small gift bag with a lazy expression on his face.Is he ever happy I mean he came to my birthday looking as of he was forced to come here.Maybe he was, because he started glaring at me the moment I asked him what he was doing here."Did you not want me to come here today?" Oliver asked nonchalantly as his eyes softened."Should I leave?" He asked and I was contemplating on what to do.I guess I have to introduce both of them at some point, given today is my birthday Oliver would behave so I guess now was a good time because I can't send Oliver back home when he came all the way here and I know he's very busy.Even though I wanted to be alone with Grace, I can still celebrate my birthday with both of them."No, come right in ,you are welcome." I said as I opened the door properly for him to walk in and I closed the door behind him."You didn't tell me you had a guest." He gritted out as he stood still not making a move to sit as he kept gl
