Joshua heard a beep on the line as the other side went silent. "Hello Anette?" he said in a repeat. He discovered that she had cut off the call.Joshua's mind went back to how he saw the news. He had successfully gotten Aletta to get dinner in a restaurant for their date but in a private room.They were having a partial nice time aside from the fact that it was kind of awkward between them. Suddenly Aletta got a call from her sister, at first she had ignored it but then the constant calls made her pick up.Her sister who was aware of the situation already called to update her that she was trending although indirectly. Nobody knew about her but they were all bashing her because they knew nothing about her.The reason everyone was so sure that the news was true was because of the source of the post. It was Penelope Lennox, she was one of the five popular girls in the city and there was no way they would put their fame and parent's empire in jeopardy by spreading false news so it had to

Joshua sighed as he checked his phone for the nth time since he got home. He had neither heard from Aletta nor been able to clear up the misunderstanding which was not one. He did not know how his parents would react and he was not ready for teasing from any of his acquaintances.He wanted to hear from her and see how she was doing but he did not want to be seen as overbearing or pushy when it was only their first day."A text message would not hurt would it?" he whispered to himself and took out his phone.'I hope you got home safe and have had dinner?' he typed and hit send before he could rethink it.'Yes I did, I am sorry for the outburst earlier, it was because I was not expecting something like that' she responded with a little tear-drop emoji face.'It's okay I would have reacted worse if it were to be me' he typed back.He was glad she was no longer as pissed as earlier and that she was fine. He was going to get to the bottom of whatever it was that they were facing at the mom

Aletta had chosen that time because she knew that everyone resumed work by eight and they needed a quiet time before the rush of the day."Here have this," she said pushing the cup of take-out coffee in his hands."Thank you" he murmured taking a sip and savouring the smell and taste of freshly brewed coffee. Why did he not realize it since? She knew him so well it was kind of illegal. She knew how he liked his coffee and many other things others might find extremely weird. "How did you know I would need this?" he asked following her as she made her way to his office where they would have peace."Because l could barely sleep last night and I figured that you might also be awake trying your best to figure out what to do" she said pushing the door open and entering allowing him to follow behind her."You should have allowed the gentleman to get the door for you" he murmured. "We do not have time to spell out the gender roles" she said dropping her coffee to the coffee table in front o

"It does not matter what you say to me or how much you try to convince me, I will never go along with your suggestions" Joshua said putting his foot down."Mr Delgado" "Ms Brunswick... No no, Aletta, I want you to understand that I would rather proclaim to tell everyone about you than do something that would jeopardize our relationship" "I want you to understand that as your secretary I would only do what is best for your image. Moreover, having a girlfriend at this time after achieving marvellous feats might be the best thing to help your image" she explained. "Aletta" he said sitting beside her and holding her hands. "What of as my girlfriend? Would you let me do this as a girlfriend?" he asked tears lining his eyes."I guess I have no choice for dating a billionaire" she said looking away and trying her best to dry her eyes by sniffing and blinking multiple times."You don't mean that, there is no way you mean that" he said squeezing her hands hoping to change her mind."Also re

Aletta had left Joshua's office when he had refused to accept her solution and people had begun to resume work. She sat at her desk thinking about why he had refused to take her advice as regards the issue on the ground."Did he make you work overtime and resume earlier than the rest of us?" Julia asked catching her attention standing in front of her table."It's not like..." "I mean should he not be focused on the rumour surrounding him? Did he have to make you work overtime?" Julia asked crossing her hand over her chest. "Wait," she said suddenly her eyes widening as if she just got a revelation."Is he making you clean up his mess?" "It's nothing like that," Aletta said."Then what are you doing here so early in the morning?" Julia asked blinking multiple times."Don't you have work to get to?" Aletta said after a brief silence. She did not intend to tell her off so harshly but it had to be done so she didn't need to ask such questions again."Have a nice day" Julia murmured as s

"A drunken mistake?" Joshua said in a strained voice."Come on, you know when I drink a little and then I say things just because I am under the influence" she said trying her best to justify herself."I spoke with you yesterday, you were only tipsy and I know you quite well. You hardly get drunk and you hardly speak out of place when drunk" he said and she rolled her eyes."Of course, you know me well so I can not lie to you" she said taking a seat on the nearest couch."Why did you do this?" "Do I need a reason ?" "Are you trying to say that you told your girlfriends what I said to you in confidence without a reason? " this time his voice sounded as angry as he was."It's just girl gossip you know? I had not seen them in a long time and we needed something to talk about" she said flicking her nails and looking up."Girl gossip?" "It does not mean anything and the gossip or rumour or whatever would die down before you know it" she added when she saw the strained expression on his

Anette stood up when she discovered that Joshua was going to give her the silent treatment. She knew he was offended and it was the first time she was seeing him so angry about something."I guess I will come another time" she said straightening out her dress and walking towards the door.Joshua did not bother looking up from the iPad he was busy on. He only raised his head when the door clicked shut. "Your boss is a little cranky today, be careful" Anette said as she walked out to see Aletta sitting on her seat tapping away at her desktop.It has taken extreme self-control from her to help her not eavesdrop on their conversation. She wondered what they had spoken about that made Anette pass such a comment. Aletta replied with a little smile and nod and Anette began to walk towards the elevator when she stopped in her tracks and turned back to the table of Aletta. "Do you happen to know who the girlfriend of Joshua is?" "What?" Aletta asked back in a small shout as she shot up out

"I am not angry again and if you say that you do not want to go with that solution then I guess you might as well find a solution for yourself" she said and he nodded.He liked the idea of her accepting his terms. How could he think of having another girl just for the media? "So what do I have on my schedule for the rest of the week?" he asked since he had been unable to ask because she had stormed out of his office when he had stopped speaking in the morning."You have to meet with the team on the construction site for the new marketing firm and then also meet with the board of directors for the Dawson Foundation for school children tomorrow" she said and he nodded.He loved that his parents had put him in charge of the foundation named after his grandfather to help school children achieve their goals in any field they choose. He had never had the opportunity to meet his grandfather but his mother ensured that he and his sister knew all there was to know about him.."Then on Friday

"Joshua you know I do not like being late for any of these events" Aletta screamed back at him. Altetta paced back and forth at the bottom of the stairs. "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
