However, that didn't stop him from doing it. Christopher was boiling with anger. He didn't know which exactly was annoying him; is it the fact that the human resource department failed to inform him that their business analyst had been indisposed for sometime the best of which they had, and they didn't do anything to rectify it not even temporarily. Or probably the fact he just received a memo of a supposed company dinner this Sunday! He couldn't even figure if it was hunger instead. He hadn't eaten anything edible since morning and the time was shifting to late evening. Picking up the Telecom he dialed his secretary. “In my office right this minute." The young lady

The contract didn't include not having dinner with each other, and she wasn't sure if he might intend to eat dinner with her. Just as she texted him, his reply came briefly.‘Alright. There is a company dinner on Sunday and we are obligated to attend. Just informing you.’Raven snorted at how straightforward he was, if she didn't know better she would have thought that was how he was. But she had seen him play nice and loving towards his family at dinner twice. So it had to do with something about her or women in general.Kick-starting her car she drove towards home.

It was one thing to have an outing and not have what to wear. It is another thing to have series of options and be confused on which to pick. Since she returned from the dinner with her mom and son on Friday, she hadn't had any form of discussion with Christopher.They practically lived like house mates, with no form of interaction. It is not like she had time either, she came back late on Friday, woke up very early on Saturday didn't get to see him and when she returned by night, he was either not back or had retired to bed early.Today, to avoid waking up late she had put in an alarm to wake her up before noon. Her confusion peeked when all of the dresses looked the same in design. Thanks to her mother she had been able to pack a few boxes of her clothes includi

It was just about five minutes to three and he was meant to lead by example if he was to be taken serious. He knew his father would try getting to the venue before him if he wasn't careful. He had intentionally told Raven to be prepared by three to enable them get to the venue latest few minutes to four. The program was slated for 4:00 p.m. Just as the clock stroked fifteen minutes past three and he was about to stomp onto the stairs and drag her by the tail. With that thought in mind, Raven appeared dazzling in the attire she wore. He needed to admit, she was beautiful and every look did fit her perfectly. Raven walked down the stairs nervously, hoping she hadn't missed the scheduled time. In
A DEAL WITH THE BILLIONAIRE (A Contract Marriage) EPISODE SIXTY TWO THEME: His Legal Wife CONNECTICUT, UNITED STATE OF AMERICA Raven's breath was unsteady when she got into the restroom. She found a free toilet and locked herself up inside. Tears streamed down her face like a fountain fall. All her life she had never felt hate emit from someone towards her. Raven prioritized herself as a non troublemaker and was never bothered about getting hateful words or messages from anyone. Not even when she dated Jacob who was the cynosure of all ladies eyes while they dated. She wanted to talk to someone so bad, but she knew better than to let her emotions out to Tiana. Telling her friend would only make things worse, knowing her too well she would barge into the Hall and rip Ashley's head off her pretty neck. Raven cried her eyes out for a while before she stepped out of the toilet to wash her face. Her eyes almost bobbed out in shock when she saw Christopher standing by the door side p

She had tried calling James attention to it but he was away from the table chitchatting with some people at the party. Tired of the somber atmosphere, Hope cleared her throat.“Is everything alright, Raven?" She asked, but was met with utter silence.It was obvious the young lady was lost in thought and had a lot on her mind. She hadn't heard Hope call her the first time. Rather than shout out her name again, Hope switched seats and sat next to her.“Why are you so lost in thought?" Hope asked gently with concern.Raven jumped so hard and she almost slipped out of the chair. She had zoned out completely and wasn't even aware of it. The night had taken a toll on her so much that she has lost track of time and her environment.“Goodness! Rave

He held onto the steering wheel tightly, trying to suppress his anger. He watched her scroll through her phone in rage and he wondered what the hell she was looking for.Still not trying to make a fuss in the car he drove in silent anger. Filled with fury, she threw her phone angrily to the back seat. She was boiling beyond her normal point.Ever since they had been kids and transitioned into adulthood, Christopher had never disrespected her before and not for anything. So how could a total stranger and peasant like Raven be the reason behind the disrespect.Raven was going to tear their family apart if no one paid attention. Ashley thought.

A waiter asked.“Coming right up!" Raven replied as she moved around the kitchen swiftly.As usual The Golden Restaurant was busy as ever in the morning. And they had their hands full. The day got Tiana less talking and more work plus she didn't seem like she was in the best of mood for a chitchat. Raven had decided to postpone the probing till they had a brief break.“Here you go!" She said, handing the order to the waiter as more orders came in.“Can you at least take a break? You have been everywhere since you came in.” Tiana smacked her lips in annoyance.“Oh Lord, I actually thought you went mute." Raven taunted in reply as she cleaned up her hands by the washing basin.They eventually got some time to take a rest while the other orders coming in could b
