She hasn't fully recovered, she just needs time.Manny heard the person sign in relief and she was curious to know who this person was that cared for her.She groaned and opened her eyes slowly as she allowed herself to adjust to the light little by little. When her eyes fully opened, she found Andrew's father peering down at her.“Good, you are awake.” He said the concern in his voice was now gone.Were all the Cooper's men this way?“Where is Andrew?” She managed to ask.She might be awake but her body certainly wasn't.“Your husband is in his study, I will get him for you.” He told her and left to inform his son that his wife was now awake.And in a few minutes, Manny could hear heavy footsteps coming towards her room. Andrew opened the door, walked in, and closed the door behind him, he was never one to knock.He stood in front of her bed and observed her. He co
MANNYWhen they arrived at the hospital, Manny was all dressed up and waiting.She gave him a weak smile as she saw him stand by the door and Jason waved at her, smiling widely.She was so glad to see him and was even more glad she could finally get out of the hospital. She seemed to be spending more and more time here.“Let me go see the doctor first.” Andrew said and left her with Jason.She couldn't help but feel that for some reason, Andrew wasn't happy to see her.“Okay.” she croaked, her throat dry. She laid back on the hospital bed, her back facing Jason who was busy on his phone.She was asleep when he came back to get her. Manny felt Andrew's fingers trace her face and her eyes fluttered open.He had taken that long with the doctor, she wondered what it was they had been talking about.No matter how many times she slept, she was still tired.“Hey, time to go.” She heard him whisper and she became wide awake.Andrew helped her get up while Jason carried the small bag that was
ANDREW “Now that's no way to talk to the mother of your child.” Kate reprimanded, mischievousness clear in her voice as she posed at the entrance of the door.She knew she already had him as soon as his eyes roamed her body.Andrew clenched his jaw and tried focusing on his as he felt a bulging in his area—due to the fact that it hadn't been used in a long time.Kate smiled seductively and entered. Meanwhile, Andrew was playing hard to get but would eventually give in. He always did.“Why was Jason here?” She asked, but he ignored her.He wasn't doing anything significant on the laptop yet he had to pretend so she could get the hell out of his study.“I heard what happened to your wife, is she okay?” She asked again and got the same reaction.She wasn't going to give up so easily.“Do you know who did it?” He ignored her again.“I wonder if Damon knows something about it.” She stated to herself but loud enough for Andrew to hear.‘Got you.’ Kate said in her head, smiling triumphant
ANDREWAndrew was in his study when Jason suddenly entered with take-outs in his hand.He was spending more and more time with Andrew and he found it weird. Jason might be jovial, but he certainly wasn't clingy, which made his actions suspicious.“What are you doing here…again?” Andrew asked, getting tired of him showing up at his house whenever he wished.“I just got here.” Jason replied, looking at Andrew innocently.“You've been coming here every day for the past one week.” Andrew countered, turning on his chair to face his friend and looking at him weirdly.“Are you suddenly having feelings for me now that I'm married?” Andrew asked, raising an eyebrow and causing Jason to choke on his drink.“Wh…what?” Jason stammered, looking flustered. His cheeks turned to the brightest shade of red.“Tchh… I always knew you were gay.” Andrew taunted and turned back to his work, smiling.“What..? I'm…I'm not! I have a girlfriend!” Jason tried defending himself but Andrew was hearing none of it.
MANNY“Do you think there's an open spot for a manager?” Cheryl asked, nibbling on her food. “Manger?” Manny repeated and then scoffed. Manager for what? Why did she want to climb up the ladder so fast?Manny didn't give her a reply. Instead, she kept her eyes on her chauffeur. If he stands, she stands.She wasn't wasting another second here.Seeing how Manny had been staring at him and sensing her anxiety, the chauffeur got up and walked to Manny, getting the memo.“Ma'am, we need to leave, you should get back to work.” He advised, knowing he was speaking her mind.Feigning ignorance on how much time she had wasted, she pretended to check her watch.“Give me a minute.” Her chauffeur nodded and Manny excused herself and Cheryl waited while making a phone call. She kept whispering into the phone, gaining a suspicious look from Manny's chauffeur.What was she up to?After doing her business she came out of the restroom, and right on cue, the piercing sound of a gunshot was heard and th
MANNYAs she set out to work the next day, Manny stumbled upon Andrew on her way downstairs and she quickened her pace as he walked behind her.Last night's conversation was still fresh in her mind and her husband didn't utter a word about it which was a good thing. She felt if they were to continue the conversation, it would have ended up in an argument and she didn't have the strength or time to do so.She passed the dinner dining room and was walking through the hallway when Andrew asked her a question. “Aren’t you eating?” “No appetite.” She replied almost immediately and walked away before he could say another word.She was already running out of time, she didn't want her mother to give her another lecture because of a tardy arrival.She blamed the pregnancy for having no appetite. It was either she ate very little or didn't eat at all.Weren't pregnant ladies supposed to have a huge appetite? Why was she different?All immediately went to the back of her head as she reached he
MANNYManny sighed and massaged her wrist, trying to relieve herself of the pain she felt. She twisted them gently and started writing again.This was a fashion company yet she kept signing documents like she was running a corporation.When she was finally done, she headed to the dressing room to help out. In times like this, she missed Avery.In the Spirit of their competition, she would have done her part of the work and even a little bit of Manny's just so she could prove her worth.‘At least she always got the job done.’ Manny muttered as she grabbed materials from where it was kept and walked back to the lady who was halfway dressed.She sighed and shook her head at how the lady was dressed. The materials were all wrong, the colors didn't match and it looked like she was suffocating inside the clothes, like her measurements weren't taken before making the dress.“Who would dress someone like this.” She grumbled, peeling the clothes off the woman's body gently in order not to ruin
MANNYAndrew's father tried to control himself, he wasn't going to let loose in front of everyone.He lifted his eyes from the paper and gave Andrew a death glare, his face hard with fury.If eyes could kill, he'd surely be dead by now.How could he do something so senseless? After all his protestation?He closed his eyes and visibly relaxed himself. He wasn't surprised, his son never listens to him anyway.Always doing the opposite of what he was told. If not for the fact that Andrew was a chip of the old block, he would have wondered if he was truly his son.“We won't be able to help you, Kate.” Her smile slowly faded and a frown appeared on her face.“Anyone can fake a DNA test, we will have to conduct one ourselves.” Mr Allen said and tossed the envelope on the table making her get them herself.“I can always take my information to the media Allen.” Kate threatened.Andrew's father smirked and then laughed.Who did she think she was?“Tell them and we'll give them money to cover
ANDREWAndrew had his P. I working hard to find the voice behind the mask, he had somehow managed to record the whole thing and had given it to Carter.He had to find out who was behind this.The voice changer in the mask had done a very good job in concealing the culprit’s voice but he could have sworn, there was a hint of familiarity in his voice.“It's been so long since we went out to a party.” Jason busted into Andrew's study saying.He has been hanging around ever since the death of Andrew's mother trying to offer comfort and care to his best friend.“I don't feel like it.” Andrew replied in a bored tone.There was no time to waste, he had much on his plate and Jason's blabbing wasn't making it any better.“Come on man.” Jason pressed further, he needed him out of the house but Andrew was set on not going anywhere.“Did you take care of the triad?” Andrew asked as he typed away on his laptop.Those men were becoming a problem.Andrew gave his friend a ‘won’t you answer’ type of
