Andrew and Joshua entered the bar and into the private room. Joshua could tell from the expression on his friend's face as he ordered the drinks that he was worried about something and he hoped he was not there to apologize for what his sister had done.

Andrew had been able to get the truth about the current situation out of Anette when she had come. He had scolded her but she had told him that he was a chronic pretender and that she was not going to allow him to manipulate her to remain an ordinary girl. She had told him expressly that she was going to climb up the ladder and not allow anyone to stop her.

"What is it?" Joshua asked when Andrew remained silent and kept bobbing his head to the slow music being played inside the bar.

"I don't know how to go about this" he said finally dropping his head.

"Go about it any way you want to"

"First of all I am sorry about what Anette did, it's because we all cuddled her too much that's why she grew up to be so spoilt" Andrew began.

    Jessica was excited that her daughter was finally picking up some responsibility and helping out with the company. She told her husband not to bring up the fact that Joshua had a girlfriend and that they should wait for him to tell them first.Joshua had been shocked that his parents were not all over his business trying to know what it was that was happening."You both look very lovely" Jessica commented as her son climbed down the stairs."Thanks, Mom, I put in the extra effort. I am going to make those girls feel very inferior to me" Jeanne said. After all, she was the one on the top of the ladder. Why was it that they did not fear her?"That should not be your reason for going" Jessica warned before turning to her son. "And you would always appreciate those who compliment you. Are you going to ignore the array of girls who compliment you tonight?" "So this is your sly way of asking me if I have a girlfriend?" he asked her and she smiled slyly."Even if you do have a girlfriend, y

    Joshua had been agitated all through the twenty minutes drive from the house to the venue for the launch. It had been about three hours since he left work and he had sent a text to Aletta to which she had yet to respond.It only took business ethics for him to still insist on going to the event. He knew that this was the same woman who caused the relationship between him and Aletta to become strained as it was. It was only starting out and so he had expected the awkwardness but not every other thing that came with it. "Are you fine brother?" Jeanne asked in a fake accent like she was in an oldies movie."It's nothing" he said looking away and not having the patience to comment on her accent. She scrunched up her nose in the air and tapped his lap."Stop that or you will ruin my..." "Your dress?" she said in the same accent. "You claim that all is well but you did not notice or say anything about my funny accent" she added and he glanced at her and then back at his phone."I did not

    Anette watched Joshua and Jeanne till they got to their table and sat down. She took a sip of her wine and cleaned her mouth before standing with her bag in hand and walking towards their desk. "I am changing tables," she told the girls at her table as she walked away. "Hello Joshua, and Jeanne," she said before pulling a chair and sitting down with them."Who said you could sit?" Jeanne said with spite."Oh come on, why are you still bitter about that day? it's been such a long time" she said cutely putting her hand over Jeanne's hand.Jeanne recoiled quickly as if hot water had been poured over them. "What are you doing here and not gossiping around with your little friends?" Jeanne added when she saw that Joshua was not ready to say anything to her.Anette tried her best to remain calm as she took a deep breath and turned to Joshua. "I thought you were going to show up with your girlfriend today?""Why? To give you the satisfaction of winning?" he said taking a sip of his wine."

    The night began to come to an end and Jeanne was not happy because she felt she was yet to do what she wanted to do. She promised to stomp on the ego of Anette and unfortunately, she had been unable to do so.She took a trip to the bathroom and while she was in one of the bathroom stalls she overheard a conversation between two people. She could not pick out their voices but from their discussion, she knew that they were one of the six girls."I don't think keeping Anette close to us is of any benefit any longer," the first girl said. "Anyone can tell at a glance. She is still trying to make us think that all is still alright with her and the Delgado" the other voice replied."Oh my god I hate her so much, I can't believe we have had to suck up to her all these years just because she was close to them" another voice replied."She always behaved as if she was on top of us all. We all know her family and we know they would be unable to hold a candle to us" the second person said again.

    "Wait what?" Jeanne said in confusion. When she noticed that his hands were still firmly gripping her around her waist she jumped out of them and cleared her throat."Sorry about that," he said. This was the time she properly heard his smooth and sweet voice. she felt so captivated by his voice that she felt he should sing lullabies to her all night long. She closed her eyes and cleared her throat."Why isn't your mind working?" she asked herself in a whisper."What?" he said and she opened her eyes."I was talking to myself," she said with a nervous chuckle. "I am sorry for bumping into you" "It's fine," he said with a smile that revealed his perfect set of arranged teeth. She wanted to return the smile but was a bit ashamed that as a girl she did not have the dimples by the side of his face."Thank you" she murmured and he nodded his head."You owe me one because I saved your life" he said and she looked shocked at him."What?" she said taking a step back."I am only joking, I am T

    Jeanne walked straight to the table trying her best to ignore the lingering stares at her as she walked to the table and now with a man on her tail. She was sure that the people were probably talking about her and she tried her best not to mind them. "Brother," she said as she sat and the man stood there as if he had attended an interview and was waiting to be told what to do."Sit Thiago," she said pulling his hand so he sat beside her."Who is this?" Joshua asked tilting his head in the direction of the strange man who had just sat at their empty table. Since everyone had kind of noticed the way Anette was shunned from the table no other person wanted to be humiliated so they avoided the table and Joshua and Jeanne were glad for the weird silence at their table I'm such a noisy place. "This is Thiago Braylon" she said throwing him a small smile and then looking back at her brother."I am Joshua Delgado," Joshua said stretching his hand for a handshake."I know you," Thiago said wi

    Joshua stood up at the speed of light as soon as he heard Jeanne ask that question. It seemed as if he had been anticipating the question all night."Woah slow down Mister, I thought you enjoyed these kinds of events more than I do?" she asked standing to her feet as well."No one enjoys the events except those who like to brag about their achievements," he said as they began to walk out hand in hand."And you don't like to brag about your achievement?" Jeanne asked throwing her head back a little. she found it hard to believe that her precious brother was not interested in bragging about what he achieved the whole year."I don't need to hoot my own horn, others can do that for me. That's what they are there for" he said and Jeanne could feel the confidence oozing out of his body."Oh my God, I wonder why girls still Fangirl over you when you are this obnoxious and self-absorbed," she said and saw a smirk appear on his face.As soon as they got to the door of the hall a familiar but a

"You know you should not be screaming while you are this pregnant"Joshua said as he came down the stairs with his daughter in his hands. "If you had come down earlier then I would have had no reason to scream that much" she retorted and he smiled. "It was my little pumpkin here who kept me waiting" Joshua replied as he got to stand b

    "I am so happy for you, this is finally happening," Aletta said holding the arms of Jeanne excited."I am excited but also nervous very nervous does anyone have calming pills?" Jeanne said slipping her hands off Aletta's hand and feeling the sweat on her palm."Calm down, it's just you and Thiago, everyone else is just like a rock. I promise you once you get on that altar every of that nervousness would be gone" Aletta continued. "Thank you," Jeanne said sarcastically."Are you nervous because its mu brother? I can help you run away from this right now" Nichole suggested and Alethea rolled her eyes. "Are all sisters this way? This was the same advice you gave Aletta the other day" Alethea said and Jeanne shook her head. "How can I leave, I have been dreaming of this day" Jeanne replied. "Then calm down even though I don't know why you would dream of marrying my brother but we all choose our battles I guess" Nichole shrugged as she sat down."Nichole" Aletta chastised because she k

    "You have to get to work" Aletta said rubbing the hand of Joshua gently. They had arrived back from their honeymoon over the weekend and this Monday morning was the first time Joshua was going back to work after the wedding."Can't I just lay down here with you all day?" he said taking out her hand and pulling her down to his level."You kept saying that and prolonged the honeymoon by two weeks,""Call me a criminal for wanting to spend time with my wife, I am getting the feeling that you do not want to spend any time with me" Joshua said opening one eye and giving her a judging look. "Joshua, you know that is not true, so get up now""You are no longer my assistant, you are supposed to be begging me to stay a bit more with you""What makes you think I don't want to do that?" Aletta asked taking his dishevelled morning hair back from his face."Because you keep urging me to get back to work so quickly, it's like you can't wait to get rid of me" Joshua took his head back to the pillow

    "Mom don't cry again, you might get a serious headache at this rate," Aletta said rubbing the back of her mother while in a hug. The entire wedding was over already and the whole family was seeing the couple off as they were going directly to the airport for their honeymoon. "Come on, at this rate they might miss their flight" Leon said trying to pull Eunice off her daughter. She had been bawling the entire ceremony, if someone saw her they would think it was a sad occasion. "My daughter," Eunice said as she finally pulled away and took a step back. "I am so happy and so proud of you because you managed or find love for yourself even after everything" Eunice sniffled and smiled. "Thank you, Mom," Aletta said with a smile. "You better get going now" Jessica said stepping forward."We are on our way now" Joshua said pulling open the door and gesturing for Aletta to get in."Call us when you get there" Jessica called after the shut door."Do not call us" Xavier said as if he was giv

    "I was always unsure about how I felt about you, You were always around me, taking care of me and I felt anxious whenever you were out of sight. A little secret that was the reason I always made you work overtime even when it was not necessary" Joshua said and there was a burst of small laughter across the room.They were both standing in from of the priest and altar but they had decided to take their custom written vows there. Joshua cleared his throat and looked up from his paper to stare at Aletta whose eyes never left his face. He flashed a small warm mile to her and she returned it."I never realized my feelings for you until you made that drunken confession that night that caused us to go into a relationship. I had always thought about marriage but for me, it was the only way for me to make children that would take over the company one day, being with you makes me so excited to think of waking up every morning with you by my side, I think of planting kisses on your lips and spend

    "Are you feeling nervous?" Alethea asked Aletta who was sitting in the waiting room with her shaky hands. "Yes I am, who wouldn't be?" Aletta asked as she closed her eyes to steady her breath. "I mean you are very right, who would like to marry my annoying brother, as much as I would like to call you my sister in law I can help you escape if you wish to" Jeanne chimed in. "Thank you so much for the suggestion, I am nervous about this and not rethinking my decision. I can't wait to be married to him" Aletta said as her eyes shot open. "Ew" Jeanne said as she gaged. " What do you see in him?" she added as she picked at her nails. "Everything I want to see" Aletta added. "Jeanne stop trying to put ideas in her head" Jessica cautioned coming towards them. "What did I do?" Jeanne whined."I heard what you said" Jessica replied giving Jeanne a warning look. Jesica knew that her daughter was playing around but she did not want Aletta taking any of the words to heart. "I know I have s

    "Mom's boyfriend would be here soon," Alethea said as she dropped the dish in her hand to the table. "I can not believe that I am being made to meet my mom's boyfriend at her age" "What I can not believe is that she can't order out but is making us to make food for him"Alethea whined as she moved back to the kitchen."What is even more crazy is that she is in a relationship again" Aletta exclaimed as she moved behind Alethea. "Don't get me wrong I guess I am glad she is finding love again" "Same here, if she is happy then there is no issue. Love is in the air" Aleteha added coming back to the table "So why don't you have anyone to share the love with?" Aletta asked. They were making the last trip from the kitchen to the table. "Says you? Who told you that I do not have someone to share this love with?" Alethea said dragging out her sentence and a weird smile climbing her face."Alethea you are hiding something from me" Aletta said going to clutch her sister's hand. "Spill now" sh

    Aletta and Joshua tried to reach Anette and Richard but it was as if they had fallen off the radar. "At least we tried" Aletta said as she set down the phone to the table. "Happy now?" Joshua asked and she nodded. "I guess I have to get going now" she said taking up her phone from the table."Where to? You just got here" Joshua was sad because they had finalized her resignation and she had not been around him like he wanted her to be. He was happy regardless that she was doing what she loved. "I have to go finalize things with HR on hiring your new assistant and then I have to go shopping with your mom and sister" Aletta explained. "Can we at least have dinner together?" Joshua asked and started expressing shock when he saw the expression on her face. "We can not? I barely see you anymore these days" he whined like a child who was cheated of having any ice cream. "I am having dinner with my family, mom is introducing her boyfriend to us today and honestly, I love spending time wi

    "Did you hear about Anette?" Aletta asked as she pushed the jar of pickles into the hands of Joshua. They had picked a date for the wedding and it was in three weeks. They were having one of the date nights where they stayed back home and cooked for each other. "What happened to her?" Joshua asked. Anette shook her head in bewilderment, how could this man be so oblivious to everything happening around him?"Have you seen her in a while?" Aletta asked. She wanted to know how much he did not know. "Well, since that day she came to our house, I did not think much of it when I did not see her again," Joshua said truthfully before taking off the lid of the jar. "But you know she called off her wedding and left the country so abruptly with Richard?" Aletta asked hoping that he at least knew about that fact. Yes, Anette did hurt them all but it would be too mean to not care about her when she had sincerely apologized."Maybe they did not want the wedding again?" Joshua asked shrugging. Al
