"Good day Mr Delgado," Tom said when he met them outside the building to welcome them. "I see you are here too Ms. Brunswick?" he added an extremely weird smile.

"Good day Mr. Tom, do you have business with my secretary?" Joshua asked pursing his lips together.

"What sir?" Tom asked confused and in a stutter. Ever since he had taken up the habit of making Aletta uncomfortable Joshua had never confronted him before.

"Do you ?" he asked again tilting his head a bit.

"I do not" Tom answered. He would not want to get on the wrong side of Joshua because it would only do him harm.

"Then you should not be giving her such a weird smile," Joshua said.

Tom was taken aback because he did not expect Joshua to have anything to say about the matter. Aletta on the other hand felt her heart warm up. Joshua usually did not have a say in these things and it was not because he could not have a say but because he chose not to. She wanted at that moment to give him a strong and big hug as she was glad he

    "Is that so?" Joshua asked glancing at Aletta again."Yes sir, the last time we visited together I grew so attached to these children that I had to come back and I kept coming back and could not stop" she said and Mary nodded."Unlike someone I know who hasn't visited us in months" Mary said in a teasing sarcastic voice."Oh don't hold me to ransom, I have been so busy with work and every other thing" he said in an apologetic tone."Don't worry about it, we all understand and the kids would be so happy to see you" Mary said taking his hands in hers and squeezing them lightly. "Moreover Aletta here has been doing a very good job in the past weeks" she added."I see she has been so good in my stead isn't it?" he said with a smile.The gesture from her had some kind of impact on her that he could not explain. It made him think of the statement that Mary had made about them being from the same pod. Did they find the same kind of things exciting? "Definitely," Mary said before leading the

    'How about we have a late-night snack after this dinner?' Joshua sent it to Aletta.She was sitting a few tables away from him and the business partner who until then he did not know was a woman.He had no prejudice against women but he hated the way she was throwing herself at him and trying her best to touch him every minute she could get.Aletta raised her head to him and shook her head in disbelief, it was obvious that his mind had wandered so far away that he was not listening to what the woman sitting in front of him was saying."Are you listening?" the woman in front of him asked touching his hand slightly."What?" he asked recoiling his hand so fast as if dirt had touched him."Are you listening?" she asked trying to make her voice sound as low as possible. "Yes I am," he said and she giggled."I never thought you would come yourself for the meeting" she said pushing herself forward so her cleavage was not fully exposed."I always like attending my meetings myself," Joshua sa

    "How are you still able to eat?" Aletta asked Joshua who was currently devouring the bigger in front of him.They had left the meeting and then gotten takeout, they went to a quiet and closed space to eat. Aletta could not understand why he was devouring the bugger so much when he just had fancy steak at the restaurant."I could barely eat, she kept staring at me and making inappropriate glances at me I could not keep the food down" he said with a mouthful."I can't hear you" she murmured taking a sip of her diet coke.He took a minute to chew and then took a sip of the sprite to wash it down before he spoke. "She made me uncomfortable so I could not eat. The chef may think that I did not eat that meal because there was something wrong with it" he told her."Well, you should be used to it by now, people have always been staring your whole life," she told him popping a fry in her mouth."You know, you'd think that I would get used to it but I can not stand people staring at me like I a

    "You had to say that didn't you?" he asked standing up and proceeding to pace around the floor."You asked and I answered," she said and began to eat her burger."You are my assistant and I agree that you do such a great job, it might be practically impossible for me to find someone who would do such a good job" he said and her heart skipped.It sounded so much like a compliment but also she felt like she was facing a disciplinary committee and was about to be punished for something she did."What?" "If you were not such a good assistant, I would have relieved you of your job," he said and her eyes widened."Are you thinking of firing me?" she asked leaping to her feet and standing in his path so he could not wander around again."Yeah," he said and then ran his hand through his hair. He breathed out and closed his eyes. "No," he said again and then dropped his hand to his side. "I don't know okay," he said and she raised her eyebrow."I mean, I like having you at my side all day lon

    "What is he doing?" Anette screamed out dropping her phone to her bed. "Why isn't he picking up my calls" she added in annoyance.She had been trying her best to reach Joshua. Since they came back from the wedding he had ignored her and now it has been almost a week.She wanted to meet him tomorrow so her big plan could get started but she could not reach him all week. She tried his personal line and he kept ignoring her. When she tried his office she heard him say no to answering her calls.It was obvious he was angry and she knew that she shouldn't have gone about getting him that way but she was desperate. She was not getting younger at all but it seemed like he was getting further and further out of her reach every time."What is he doing?" she said again taking her phone and trying his call again.A knock was heard at her door and she glanced at it. "Come in" she screamed out and continued tapping away on her phone. She was sending the nth message to Joshua apologizing to him."H

    Anette would not wake up so early but she knew that she needed to be up early to be able to meet with Joshua. He would take a long morning run from the house to the gym where he would spend at least an hour working out.She knew he was born with crystal clear good looks because both his parents were beauties to behold but he kept his body in fit shape all because he worked out so well. She took a cab and went to the gym. "Hello, ma'am can I help you?" the young boy at the counter asked her.She looked at him admiring his blue eyes and laid back blonde hair. It was obvious to her that this boy just started experiencing puberty. She wanted to respond when she realized she was called ma'am."Do I look that old?" she asked in a shriek."No, but since this gym belongs to the high class we have to treat everyone with respect" he said. He looked unpleased to be saying that as if he had been forced to say that sentence multiple times a day."But you do know me right?" Anette asked. She alway

    "What are you doing here?" he asked tilting his head at her.He had tried all week to ignore her so why was she suddenly showing up here? Knowing her she might cause a scene and make him the bad guy while she remains the damsel in distress. He wondered how he was just seeing through her after all these years. She hated things that had to do with exercise so why was she here? Maybe she was there to see him? He was not ready to see her though. He definitely did not want to see her. "What is she doing here?" Anette asked ignoring his question and pointing at Aletta who was standing so close to Joshua."Ms Brunswick wanted to work out so I extended my membership to a family membership and included her" Joshua answered.He did not know why he was responding but he did so anyway."Family membership?" she asked her smile dropping to a sad face that made Aletta almost pity her."Yeah," Joshua said casually."Did you see my calls?" she asked trying to change the subject. she could not underst

    What do you want to say?" Joshua said leading her into one of the rest areas. He chose the most secluded one that was used by the VIP clients of the gym."Can I at least get a cup of water?" she asked going towards the water dispenser. She stood there for some time trying to gather her thoughts.She was not even sure she was fully prepared for that interaction. She knew she needed to have him pity her if he did not pity her then there would be no way for her to gain access to him."You have limited time and yet you have spent it all trying to get a cup of water," He said clenching his whole body."What?" she said as if she was flustered and moved to him with the cup of water in hand. "Are you still mad at me?" she asked trying to sound as cute as possible."Am I still mad at you ?" he scoffed. That was her worry? "You have been ignoring me all week" she said blinking rapidly and then taking a sip from her cup."I have been busy with work" he said with gritted teeth."I understand you

"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
