"Oh poor you, does Joshua have to make you work when you should be resting?" Jeanne asked as she caught up with Aletta as they walked to the plane.Everyone assumed that she was there for work and she did not have the luxury to correct them."I don't mind" she murmured giving the girl a small smile."These are the things that give him the power, you should mind and resist him whenever he tries to make you work extra hours. You could even report him to the Ministry of Works and Labour" Jeanne said.Aletta was unable to pick up the sarcasm in her voice. Was she being serious? Could she report her brother to the ministry? "For real, I am good, I don't mind" she said instead of allowing herself to ask the numerous questions in her head."You might be fine but I am not" Jeanne said again.Now Aletta could see what it was that Joshua saw. Jeanne really reminded her of her sister. She had this carefree attitude that was hard to have in this time and age and also she was so unashamed of airi
As the plane touched down at the airport Jeanne was giddy."I can't remember the last time I had a cause to visit Aurora Hills" she said with joy hidden in her voice."I have never been here before" Aletta said and Jeanne's head whipped to her."I will make sure you have the best time ever," Jeanne said with joy. "Take this as your vacation, don't even think of trying to work for Joshua" she said and Aletta nodded.She knew she was here for the party but she had to pretend to be working so as not to be caught by his family. "I doubt that would work but I look forward to it" Aletta lied. She needed to try her best to keep up the facade or else she would be discovered before the end of the day.They left the terminal and got to the arrival hall where different security personnel were ready to take them to their accommodations for the week."I will take Aletta with me" Jeanne screamed to no one in particular. Since Jessica had taken Anette's side Jeanne went quiet through the entire tri
Aletta and Jeanne entered the house they were to stay at while they were having dinner."Have you had dinner?" Jessica asked Jeanne as they passed by."Yes," Jeanne answered without looking back."Aren't you going to say Hello to Alicia and Jason?" Jessica asked again.Jeanne stopped in her tracks and cleared her throat. "Hello Aunty Alicia and Uncle Jason" she said turning back to face them. She had had a long day and was feeling very exhausted.Both of them acted like tourists in a new place and tried their best to have as much fun as they could. "Jeanne looking as beautiful as always" Alicia commented with a smile. "Thank you, Aunty," Jeanne said returning the smile. "What about Joseph?" she asked trying to make small talk."He is out with his wife," Jason said. "I guess being haughty runs in the family" he added and the whole table fell into laughter.Aletta could almost plead with Joshua to stop staring so intently at her with her eyes. His eyes were asking so many questions sh
Aletta and Joshua spent the next two hours outside talking. Aletta was at rest knowing that Jeanne would likely not look for her because it was nothing weird to work for two hours.None of them would have been able to pinpoint exactly what it was that they were talking about. They seemed to be able to put themselves out there as they spoke about everything and anything."It's getting late," Aletta said with a yawn."It's not getting late, it's already late" Joshua said showing her the time on his phone."Oh my god, we have spent two hours already?" Aletta gasped holding his forearms so tightly in a squeeze."Yes, we have" Joshua replied amused by her expression."We better get in so we can get some sleep" Aletta said with a yawn again."I guess you do need sleep, you have been yawning nonstop since" he commented and she became so self-conscious. "I wish we could spend a little more time out here" he added and she glared at him."What?" he asked his hands going up as if he was surrende
Joshua held his cheeks as he watched her run into the house. He smiled brightly. Oh well, he was asking for a hug but even got something better instead. He stood up and dusted his trousers before walking into the house.He climbed the stairs ever so slowly, he knew the week was about to become a long one. Joseph was very much like his father Jason and did ever in his power to have fun. Andrew and Joshua were always very exhausted whenever they had to spend time with him."Where were you?" Joshua heard a voice from behind him as he pushed the door to his room open. He turned back to see a bright smile on Joesph's face with Andrew and Anette beside him. "Outside working with my secretary" he replied."So why is that huge ass smile on your face and why didn't you work inside?" Joseph asked. "What smile?" Joshua asked trying his best to keep a straight face but it was impossible considering what he had gone through today."Is work fun these days?" Anette asked trying to get answers out
By the time they came back from the club it was already morning and the entire house was already at the table ready to have breakfast."Where did you all go?" Brian asked as they entered the house and passed by the table."To the club," Joseph said happily. "My dear friends took me out and spent a ton of money on me to make sure that I enjoy my last day as a bachelor," he said in a slur.it was obvious to anyone seeing them that he was the one who brought about that idea. He was so drunk that he was unable to stand on his feet."He asked you guys to go out with him didn't he?" Needa asked standing to meet them.Three of them gasped as both Andrew and Joshua tried their best to hold Joseph up. they had heard all about her, they had seen her in pictures but this was the first time they were meeting her in person."Hello I'm Needa," she said with a beaming smile. Anyone could tell from a mile away that this was one of the reasons that Joseph was getting married."He was hell-bent on havi
Aletta knocked on the door and waited for a response. She heard a shuffle through the room and footsteps approaching the door. She strengthened her skirt with one hand and then her hair. She took a deep breath.The door to the room clicked and then opened. She stepped inside and he closed the door. she walked more steps into the room when she felt a strong hand grip."Joshua!" she exclaimed. "What? Is anyone going to see us here?" he asked mocking her."What if someone walks in on us?" she whispered."I locked the door already " he whispered into her ears and it sent shivers down her spine. "You did?" she asked unable to hide the excitement in her voice. "I did" he whispered again."Come on, have your breakfast" she said struggling out of his hands."I am not hungry," he said and held her back. "What do you mean? You drank all night what do you mean you aren't hungry?" she asked him and he shrugged while still holding her tightly to himself. "Have breakfast" She shrugged and was
Joshua pulled away his mouth hovering over hers. She had been so immersed in the kiss that she did not know when her hands went up to his neck."I thought you said you won't do anything I don't want to do?" she asked him slowly her breath coming out heavily."I thought you did not want things like this?" he asked her back."I never said so," she said blinking as his eyes remained fixed on her."So you liked it?" he asked and she looked away. His hands went to her chin to bring her eyes back to him. "I want to look at you" he murmured and she tried her best to retain eye contact with him."I am sorry I did it without permission, I just could not help myself" he said using the tip of his fingers to trace her lips. "I feel more awake now," he said with a smile."Impossible" she muttered and a smile crossed his face again."Should we check again?" he asked and her eyes fell shut."No""Then why are your eyes closed?" he asked tracing her lips again. "Your mouth is saying one thing but you
