"I heard what happened with Jeanne is she fine?" Andrew asked Joshua over the phone.
"She is fine, it was just a little issue but she is doing well now""Oh thank God, I was very worried about her, I only saw the message on the intranet late at night and there was nothing I could do about it, I am going to the office this morning and I will make sure to get everything sorted out immediately" Andrew rambled."Thank you but...""I mean how dare they" Andrew said cutting Joshua off. "So what if someone is rich why are they trying to spoil their image just because they are jealous" Joshua could hear the anger in the voice of Andrew."Don't worry about it, we are already trying to get the people who posted it and we will get to the bottom of this soon""Okay then, I will drop by at your office later in the day""See you soon then" Joshua replied and cut off the phone.As Andrew dropped the phone to his lap AnetteJoshua and Aletta held hands in the car, as much as Aletta tried to wiggle her hands from his he told her that the gossip had reached the staff so there was no need for them to hide it from Jack.They had first gone to her house so she could have a change of clothes and then now they were on their way to the office. He had insisted that she sat beside him at the back instead of at the front passenger's side as usual."What do I have on my schedule today?" Joshua asked as they turned into the street leading to the office."If only I could use my hands" Aletta responded sarcastically."I will help you check that out" Joshua said waving his free hand in the air."And what am I supposed to do with that?" Aletta asked rolling her eyes."Well if you don't want my help then I guess there is no need to help you" Joshua said. He sounded angry but his face had this big smile that did not go off."Stop staring" Aletta said looking up ahead at the windshield."I am not staring, I am just looking a
"Can we talk?" Anette asked crossing her hand across her chest as Joshua came down from the car."What's this about make it quick," Joshua said dismissively."Are we going to talk about it here?" she said gesturing to the company. "Shouldn't you at least invite me in for a cup of coffee?" "Come in," Joshua said walking into the office.Anette smiled at Aletta and then walked ahead. Aletta followed them behind like they were leading her. "I will have a cup of coffee, with two cubes of sugar and one teaspoon of powdered milk" Anette said glancing at Aletta as they entered Joshua's office.Aletta was about to say something but decided against it. There were a lot of watching eyes around them so she did not need to make a screen here because she was sure that Anette would blow everything out of proportion. She did not need the eyes of everyone on her.Aletta took two cups and prepared the coffee just the way Joshua liked it and then went into the office after a slight knock on the door.
Joshua watched Aletta and Anette throw words back and forth between each other. Joshua could not deny that he was so proud of Aletta at that point. He was glad she was standing up for both of them."And I would really appreciate it if you stopped coming so often to see my boyfriend" Aletta added."What?" Anette stammered turning to Joshua. "Are you hearing the way she is speaking to me?" "She had not said anything wrong," Joshua said standing up and pursing her lips together."She has not said anything wrong?" Anette asked with widened eyes. "Are you supporting her because she is your girlfriend, I am your friend, I have been your friend for all your life" she added in a harsh voice."Yes, I am supporting her is there any wrong there?" Joshua asked standing and walking to his desk."I can't believe this" Anette said in a scoff. "You are turning your back on your best friend because of some low-life girl?""Low life, come on there is no reason for name calling" Joshua said sitting in h
"Mom, can you believe this?" Anette said over the phone. She could not believe how insulted she was feeling at that time and it was all because of that low life who could never hold a candle to her."Honey calm down and tell me what happened in detail" Leslie said."I went to Joshua's office and his secretary who is his girlfriend insulted me telling me not to come to see Joshua if she is not present" Leslie scoffed over the phone. "What? What right does she have to say that? She is nothing and Joshua would be over her before she can even have the right to say she ever dated him" "I know right, she is behaving sonprod now because he seems to have her back. I can't wait for her to get disappointed" Anette replied."What do you want to do now?" Leslie asked."What do you mean?" "Now she feels so big it might be to your disadvantage so you need to put her in her place" Leslie explained."You know there was gossip surrounding Jeanne just yesterday, what if we let gossip surround both J
"Richard, can we meet?" "What's this about?" Richard was not sure about meeting with her. She was a whole show all by herself when they were dating. She had given him a tough time coupled with the fact that she was obsessed with Joshua."It's been a while, I think we should meet up and I have nice things to tell you too," she said with a grin."What nice things?" Richard was curious. He had always wanted to marry Anette and seeing her would spark up those emotions he had buried when he left her."You will see" "Let's meet up for dinner, I will make a reservation at your favourite restaurant" Richard was somewhat glad to see her but he was sceptical about the meeting."What restaurant?" she asked."Kings," he said.Aletta suddenly got a flashback of the relationship she had with him. He had always been thoughtful of her and it's somehow strange that he remembered the place she loved."See you then," An
"Well, I need your help" Anette said and Richard laughed."I knew it, when I received your call I just knew it had to be because you needed my help" "Well, out of all my exes it was your name that came to mind" "Should I feel honoured?" Richard said in a mocking voice his hand on his chest as if he was about to bow down to greet her."See this sarcastic nature is the...." she trailed off. She did not need to be snarky with him."Is the reason we broke up?" Richard asked leaning into the table and smirking."I never said that" Anette said her face scrunching in annoyance. She should not have brought up the topic in the first place. "So what were you about to say? You know you should complete your sentences" Richard said and she shook her head."Let's forget about the reason we broke up, it's all in the past" Anette said trying to divert his attention from the matter. She did not need him to stick to that when
Joshua and Aletta laid his room. Their room had become their new dating spot because of its privacy. Aletta's head was on his chest as she used her hand to trace around her chest."Joshua" she said lifting her head from his chest."Yeah," he said his hand beneath his head as he stared up at the ceiling."What Anette said has been bothering me" Aletta said plopping her head on her hand."What did she say?" Joshua asked looking down at her trying to see her face properly."About us enjoying our secrecy for the moment""Don't worry about her" Joshua said trying to wave it off."But I am worried, you know she is an expert with petty tricks," Aletta said."What is making you worried?" "What if she leaks the secret because she is angry? I am not bothered about myself but you, if it's revealed that you are dating your assistant" "Everyone would call you a gold digger," Joshua said cutting her off before she could finish the statement. "You should be worried about yourself and not me" "You
"I never thought you would call me," Luke said over the phone."I never had a reason to call you, Mr Delgado did not need you yet," Aletta said."Seeing your call now can I assume that he needs my services now?" "Yes, he would like to take on that interview offer," Aletta said.Luke laughed heartily. He had known that Joshua would not turn him down and so he had continued to pester Aletta into making an appointment for an interview. It was weird that he always turned down interviews like he was hiding something from the world."That's wonderful" Luke said rubbing his palms together."He would give you an exclusive, on the condition that you ask the questions we have prepared" "That won't be an issue at all," Luke said. "When do you want to fix for the interview?" he asked."Tomorrow as early as possible," Aletta said.Luke senses that something is wrong but asking about it at the spot would not allow be the one to get the exclusive whatever it might be."Okay then, I would expect de
