"What the hell have you done?" Joshua screamed over the phone to Anette.She had drank till she was tipsy but still sober enough to get herself home. She was lucky that her mom had gone to bed before she got home so there was no way she would have given her an earful. "What did I do?" Anette slurred."Oh great you are drunk, how am I to have a meaningful conversation with you if you are drunk?" Joshua asked in a murmur. He wondered how Anette still drank even though she knew her tendencies. "I am not drunk" she slurred followed by a hiccup. "Maybe you are drunk" she added with a giggle like a young schoolgirl. "Anette I need you to focus" he said his voice stern."Okay focus," she said blinking multiple times to try and keep herself awake."Are you listening?" he asked and she nodded. "Anette?" he called out again when the end of the line was quiet."Yes" she answered trying her best to sound less drunk."Why is the media saying I have a girlfriend?" he asked and she used her free

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
