"Why is this such a big of a deal?" Xavier asked folding his hand across his chest as he accessed the people sitting with him in the room."Needa is supposed to be closer to Anette. How could she throw Aletta the bouquet instead?" Leslie added.Xavier wondered why they had to gather together to discuss that matter. The newlyweds had made their way to their honeymoon destinations so why was it such a big deal who got the flowers?"My little girl is sad now" Leslie said causing everyone to have compassion on the girl. The youngsters were yet to come back as they were still having a nice time at the venue but Anette had made sure to convey her displeasure about the situation to her mom."Why exactly is this such a big deal" Burke asked. He loved his children but he never understood why Leslie spoiled them so much.Needa did not hand the bouquet to Aletta. She threw it and the girl happened to catch it so they all did not understand what was so special about catching a bouquet. "It's jus
"Why would she say that?" Joshua repeated. Standing behind and beside him were Aletta, Anette, Andrew and Jeanne.Anette felt second-hand embarrassment as she wanted the ground to swallow her whole right there and then. She had asked her mom to convince them so she could have Joshua to herself."Mom!!!" Anette screamed stomping her feet to the ground. "When did I say that?" she asked in a scream. She did not want to be seen as someone dubious in the eyes of the people sitting there."Honey" Leslie said shocked at the reaction from her daughter. She was trying to help her out so why was she overreacting? "I only said I don't think it's serious," Anette said. She knew that her mom was on her side there was no way she could ditch her entirely."Yes, that's what I said," Leslie said in swift response."I just want to let you know that I am in a relationship and it is a serious relationship at that" he told them his jaw tense."You might be in a serious relationship now but that does not
"Get yourself together," Brain said before walking away. He shook his head as he thought of the stunt that his wife and daughter just pulled. He could barely recognize Leslie again after she had begun to raise the twins. She always went out of her way to get things done for them.It was the same way when Anette wanted to go abroad for the first time. she had ridden on the wings of the Delgado and it seemed like she wanted to keep riding them as much as she could.Brian blamed himself. He should have been wiser at that time and stopped her when she was still young. He should not have joined Leslie to make everything so easy for them. He did not know that she would end up as such a brat. Why should Joshua be mandated to marry her? He has his own choices too. Their access to the Delgado was only because of the benefit of the family. He would have naturally been unable to get such access like this."Why did you do that?" Leslie asked shocked her daughter allowed the matter to die down. "
Jeanne paced around the room stubbing her toes and slamming her fist anywhere she could find to do so. She was pissed and Aletta could see that she was pissed."What does she think she is? The queen? Why would Joshua leave his relationship to be with her?" Aletta asked fuming."Calm down or you'll give yourself a heart attack" Aletta said.Jeanne glanced at her. She did not understand why she was so calm when they had tried to claim her boyfriend as a husband just a moment ago."Why are you telling me to calm down? I don't understand how you are calm about the situation" Jeanne said in a cry. "I am sure they only said it because they don't know who the girlfriend is," Aletta said. She wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. They may act that way because of ignorance."Does it matter if they know the girlfriend or not?" Jeanne murmured. "Anyways," she said suddenly in a loud voice. "This is not about the girlfriend but the fact that both of them want to force their way into our
Jeanne stood in front of Joshua's door as she banged her fist on the door. Joshua opened the door and faced her."What are you doing here?" he asked in a murmur."I am so pissed" Jeanne said pushing herself into his room in a swift movement."What does that have to do with me? Why are you here?" he asked closing the door and turning to watch her pace the whole floor."I mean, I do understand what Anette was trying to pull seeing that she is always scheming and dubious," she said and then paused to look at Joshua to make sure he was following what she was saying."But I don't understand Aletta" she continued. "How can she be so calm with the situation when she knows that someone is trying to steal her man?" she asked and crossed her hand on her chest.She pursed her lips together and watched Joshua. He did not seem shocked at her exposition.'Why don't you seem shocked?" she asked stopping herself from going further in the rant."Because Aletta can be like that sometimes" Joshua said c
Aletta stepped out of the elevator and began to walk towards her desk. "Good morning everyone" she said dragging the attention of the people around there and also somehow breaking off the cluster of people at tables who were doing every other thing aside from the work they were employed for."Good morning Ms Brunswick" came out voices. some of them in nervous laughter and some in firm voices that show that they were not guilty of anything at the moment."Let's get to work," Aletta said.She was feared because she was seen as the right-hand man of Joshua. It seemed to them at the office and especially to those who worked so very closely with Joshua that she somehow knew how to communicate well with him."Yes ma'am" they murmured as they scrambled to their seat to resume their work. Many of them who were unaware of what they should be doing at that time just went ahead to click nervously on their computers."Have a nice day" she added as she turned to her table. She sat down and tried t
"You seem to be in a very good mood today Mr. Delgado" Aletta said trying her best to keep her smile away."Of course, it's a good new day" Joshua replied taking out the coffee cup from his hand. "Thank you" he said shaking the cup a bit. "What's on my schedule?" he asked and she nodded to him. She slid open the iPad in hand and began to read from it."First you have a meeting with the market team one, and then you have another meeting with the hotel staff concerning the anniversary event. After that, you would also have a meeting with Mr. Tom regards the new line of clothes" Aletta said in one breath. "And then you have an emergency meeting with the staff at the foundation because of an issue with investing, then you have to attend a seminar where you have to answer a Q and A session and then you have a business dinner with the investors from China" she added and he blinked."It is going to be a long day," he said with an eye roll.She nodded in affirmative, she knew how long the d
"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
