A Slice Of Love Opportunity
She still shivered as she looked into his eyes, she wasn't sure if she'd get away from this safe and sound. "You've finally decided to pay your debt? I thought this day would never come", he sneered as he allowed himself to take a seat on the sofa. The look in his eyes suggested that he wasn't convinced that Jane had actually come here to offset her debt. " She's not a threat guys, I'm sure you can see that", he muttered as he waved his hand at the men who were standing behind Jane with guns trained on her. There was no way in the world he expected the young woman to be capable of violence, but he had allowed her realise just how under threat she was, for very specific reasons. " Let's see it then", he instructed with a smug grin on his face. There was a wicked grin on his face, He knew that there was no way that she had come up with that much money in so little time, he just wanted to see what she had done, and remind her just how futile her efforts were. Jane reached into her ba

Andre tried to calm himself as he rushed out of the restaurant. Stanley saw his boss in a haste to leave the restaurant and acted accordingly. Luckily, he was done with his cup of tea and cookies by the time this happened.Stanley rushed ahead of Andre to get the door open for him to enter the vehicle. The bodyguards standing outside seemed not to be ready for the boss to be out so soon and it could be seen in the frenzy that overtook them as they tried to get into their vehicle as quickly as they can. Stanley held the door open for Andre to get into the vehicle.In Andre's rush, he had forgotten to ask which hospital his mother had been taken and as soon as the realization hit him, he removed his phone from his pocket one more time to make the enquiry.He held the phone to his ear as the line trilled, Stanley had entered the vehicle by now and was now seated patiently, the car engine on and waiting for his boss' instructions."

" Good morning sir", the receptionist greeted. Andre flashed a smile in return, not really feeling in the mood to return the pleasantries that were offered. He was here for serious business and the sooner he could see the man he came to see, the easier it would be for him to manage the intense emotional strain that he currently endured at the moment." Is he in?", he asked. He hadn't bothered calling before he came as he suspected that the man would refuse him if he knew what the circumstance causing his visit was. It would be much easier if he met him face to face and explained what had prompted the meeting.It was out of character for him to book an appointment to see someone, especially when the person he was here to see was a relative but his hands were tied at the moment, he needed all the help he can get, at least his mother did." He's currently in a meeting but I'll let him know you're here once he's done from his meeting", the secretary responded with a smile on her face. He

" Let's sit over here", the man gestured as he pointed to the lounge area. From his disposition, Andre could tell that he had grown tired of sitting behind the desk to attend to his appointments and seeing that he was a relative, it was quite agreeable that they discuss whatever Andre was here for under less official circumstances." Of course", Andre agreed as he followed the man to the lounge area. The man walked ahead of him and gestured him towards an empty seat, Andre smiled at him and accepted his offer, letting himself sink into the plush soft cushion of the sofa." Its quite unusual for you to visit me Andre, so before you speak, I already know something is wrong", Bernard began. He had a dull look in his eyes which seemed to say he was not interested in anything that would bother the peace he had struggled to build for himself here over the years.Andre managed an uncomfortable smile as his uncle spoke, he wasn't far from the truth and as he spoke, Andre had felt an overwhelm

Jane sighed as she recognized the neighborhood of the restaurant, she had hoped that the cab ride would be longer as she had grown quite comfortable in the seat of the cab, sleepy even. So much that she had been unaware of what was happening around her for a huge chunk of the trip from the traphouse till they had arrived here, in proximity now to her destination. She peered at the inner rearview mirror and found the driver looking at her, he had kind eyes and grey hair and seemed to understand how tired she was. " Do you need me to make a detour?", he asked, still looking at her through the mirror. She was caught off guard by the question and the more she thought about it, she saw the kindness behind the man's words. " Oh no! Thank you for offering sir", she responded quickly as she didn't know if she would be able to afford the fare if he did what he was offering. The old man nodded in understanding and turned his eyes back towards the road. In the next few minutes, the cab slowed
A Slice Of Love The Promise
Andre had decided to make this trip alone, he had decided not to take his chauffeur or any of his bodyguards along and that decision even though it had been hard to make, was necessary as he didn't need anyone to know the specifics of what he had come here to do. It was difficult enough to be able to bear the fact that his mother had kept her worsened health condition from him, it would be far worse that gossip about the situation and how he intended to remedy it got out.All the staff who worked under the Fernandez' employ knew better than to divulge any secrets that they came across while working for the family, but this in particular was something that Andre couldn't risk getting out. He had also reasoned that his uncle had a far better chance of reasoning with him if he came on his own and not as some spoiled heir with a convoy of employees following him to the establishment.Right now, it did not matter how he had come to see the man, his request had been turned down and for the
A Slice Of Love Adrian
Jane was a bit nervous, it was going to be her first day on the job and to be frank, she really didn't know what to expect yet. She panicked for the first time today after dropping Stephanie off with her friend Mandy. Mandy owned a hair salon not too far from the white lotus and she had been quite keen to take Stephanie off her hands upon hearing that she had gotten a job at the white lotus, the news of the new and luxury establishment had no doubt gotten to her ears as her clientele in the highbrow area had no doubt visited the place at least once. The restaurant was the talk of the town, this made it so much easier for Mandy to agree to taking care of stephanie for the period that Jane would be at work. Stephanie was a curious little girl and seeing how women walked into the shop with very unruly and disorganized hair but leaving with beautifully styled ones seemed to intrigue her, enough not to even notice when her mother left the shop. As Jane stepped into the restaurant that mor
A Slice Of Love Threats
You don't seem very scared Jane," Adrian scoffed as they both settled down inside his car. She could tell that they weren't the only ones in the vehicle as a faint cloud of smoke kept rising from behind them, the backseat was undoubtedly occupied. The only information Jane did not have was how many people were sitting there."I must be losing my powers, it's either that or you"re getting attracted to me Jane," he continued shamelessly as she stretched his hand across the space between their seats and brushed aside the strand of hair that fell across her face.Jane jolted backwards away from his hand in repulsion as laughter came from the back seat at the drama happening in front of them. From the sound of their voices, Jane could tell that there were two of them. She wondered why they were here so soon after giving her time to raise the money she owed them."I bet you're wondering why we're here Janie," Adrian's shrill voice came yet again as he smirked in her direction. Jane was tryi

A Slice Of Love Coincidence?
Jane's heart raced as she stood there, her gaze shifting between the two men in the room. The atmosphere felt charged, an unspoken tension hung in the air, and she found herself momentarily lost for words. She cleared her throat, gathering her composure, and met the gaze of the man who had asked the question."I... I'm sorry for interrupting," she began, her voice betraying a hint of nervousness. "Margaret told me to come here. I have a note from her."She held out the piece of paper she had received, noticing that both men exchanged a quick, almost imperceptible glance before focusing their attention back on her. The man who had offered her the job took the note and glanced at it briefly, his face betraying no emotion."Please, have a seat," he gestured to the chair in front of his desk. Jane hesitated for a moment before complying, her eyes never leaving his face. The other man, who was seated to the side, leaned back in his chair, studying her with an intensity that sent a shiver do
A Slice Of Love Him Again?
"Hey Mandy," Jane called into her phone as she readied herself for the uncomfortable task of asking her friend if she was going to be able to watch stephanie today while she worked. "You do know you don't have to be so polite when you want to bring Stephanie over," Mandy teased as she heard her friend's pleading voice over the phone. Jane always felt like the little girl was inconveniencing the ladies and was increasingly skeptical about leaving Stephanie there. "I'm going to have to bother you one more time Mandy," She squeaked into the phone. "It's alright Silly, but you have to bring her by in the afternoon, I have to go pick up supplies this morning and I don't know how long I'm going to be there. You can hang onto her for a little while till I'm back, I'll call you," Mandy informed her. Jane knew better than to express her dipleasure at the fact that Mandy was not going to be around, She was already doing her a huge favor watching over Stephanie while she worked. She turned h
