"Isn't it supposed to be the other way around?" she asked shocked at his request.

From books and movies, the term was always that they break up when they began to feel something for each other but he wanted to sustain the relationship despite the change of emotions.

"I don't care the way it is normally, that is my term" he said turning his lips into a thin line. "Aren't you going to write that down?" he asked when he saw that she did not make a move or sound.

"Yes sir, I will," she said blinking multiple times.

"Okay so let's move on you" he said leaning back into the chair.

"Onto me?" she asked hand on her chest in confusion.

"Yes aren't you going to tell me your terms?" he asked with a small laugh at her confusion.

"Oh yes" she said clapping her hands together.

"Let's hope they are all reasonable terms" he added in a murmur.

"First" she said ignoring his comment and moving on. She did not understand the courage she had to go on with this after the term he had given her. If not that

    "What do you mean by that?" he asked with a shocked expression on his face."Mean by what?" she asked not knowing if he did not understand what she meant or if he just wanted her to repeat it.He was a highly intelligent and smart man so he usually made everyone marvel at him who came in contact with him by his charisma and wisdom, so she did not expect him to ask too many questions."That we go our separate ways?" he asked again."If we don't have feelings for each other like you said we have to go our separate ways or else we would have a hard time going back to our professional status" she explained."Only if we don't have feelings for each other?" he asked "Yes" "Then I guess that won't be happening," he said with a smug expression on his face and resting his back on the chair."Why?" she asked. Now it was her turn to be confused by what he said."Because you already have a thing for me“ "Is it because of what I said the last time?" "Of course" "That was a drunken mistake," s

    "What?" she asked with a cough following her statement. She was thrown aback by his comment. Did he just call her over to flatter her? "I mean, I have all these documents to sign but I can't seem to focus because you are sitting there looking all breathtaking" "Sir, I.." she said in a stammer before trailing off in confusion."I just wanted you to know why I was staring at you," he said with a shrug."I will fix that real quick" she said walking towards his desk and taking the remote from it. She walked to the glass walls and pressed the remote to put down the blinds.She turned to him and smiled at him before she dropped the remote to the sofa and walked out.Joshua chuckled at her actions and stood up walking to pick up the remote. He opened up the blinds and stared at her. He raised his shoulders and shrugged with a smirk.He waved the remote in the air and walked back to his desk. Aletta dropped her head into her palm and shook it. She could not understand why he was doing all t

    "Why don't we go on a first date?" Joshua asked as he walked towards her table outside his door with his jacket in hand."Shush" she said in a hushed whisper her hand almost covering his mouth."What did I do?" he asked with his eyebrow going up in a questioning manner. "Do you want the whole world to know?" she asked her eyes darting to the workers who were sitting in the open partitioned office space."I couldn't care less," he said with a shrug."But I care" "Just because of you" he added with a smile that was kind of reassuring."Mr. Delgado would you like me to make dinner reservations?" she asked instead. She would not have anyone thinking anything about their relationship."I will..." he began to say."Okay sir, coming right up, I will also ask Jack to prepare the car" she added with a professional smile.Joshua pouted in annoyance. He did not want Jack to be with them on their date and he was leaving work early so he can get to spend quality time with her."You can wait in t

    People had always regarded Joshua as one who was difficult to work with because of how controlling he was. Aletta had only known the side of him that was controlling and a perfectionist so seeing him this way made her question everything she knew about him."Are you going to go after everyone has gone?" she asked him."Yes Ms Brunswick" Seeing that he was still using that tone with her she felt he was angry at her. Somehow she preferred that tone because it made her a bit comfortable to work with him. She nodded and walked to the door. She hoped he would snap out of whatever it was that was making him that way and allow them to get off work early.She walked to the open office space that had been partitioned for work. she clapped her hands to alert the people who were busy either tapping away on their laptops or reading something intently on them.They all turned to face her with tired expressions that she felt compassion for them all.

    "Hello Jack, Mr Delgado says you can go, he would take the car out on his own," she said. she hoped he did not overhear their conversation and was trying her best to play it cool."I know he would not be driving because he is bad at it" Jack said and Joshua gasped. Aletta gave him a warning look. she did not want to give him more doubts."So I assume that you would be driving. Are you going somewhere fancy? what is going on between you and him?" Jack asked as if he was a detective trying to solve a case."Good night Jack," Aletta said before cutting off the call and breathing in relief. Her eyes dilated as she smiled at him."The floor would be empty in a few minutes so we can wait for her and go down after or we can go now" she said giving him no chance to talk about what Jack said on the phone. "Let's wait a few minutes," he said in a sulk as he walked into his office."I never knew you were such an emotional wreck," she said as she followed him into the office."I am?" he asked st

    "Long time no see," Beverly said with a squeal as Anette sat down at their table.Since Joshua had cancelled on Anette she decided to meet up with her high school friends. She knew those girls and how snobbish they were but the last thing she wanted to do since she just arrived in the city was spend her day in idleness.Moreover, she had received devastating news from Joshua in the morning. She came for him, thinking she would be able to finally win him over this time around but he had dropped the news on him.She wondered if he was only dating her or if he had something for her.

She had always thought that Joshua would most likely end up with a girl or a high class and status so she wondered if it were one of the girls there. She wanted to find out, that was part of the reason she wanted to meet up with them."I know right, I can'

    "What do you mean girlfriend?" Giselle gasped."That domineering, controlling workaholic?" Harriet added with a gasp None of the girls could believe their ears. they all went to school together so they knew what kind of person he was. He was always distant from everyone. Their parents had commented that he was the replica of his father before he found love. "Maybe it is a good thing?" Beverly said after a moment of silence. The silence allowed everyone to think over what Anette had just said."That?" Anette said in shock."That he had a girlfriend?" Beverly said in the form of a question."Of course it is, but why is it?" Penelope asked confused."Maybe Love would be able to change him?" Beverly responded. "I mean it did change his dad" she added."So who is it?" Giselle asked in shock."I don't know" Anette answered. She was not happy that they thought it was a good thing and judging from their shocked expression it meant they knew nothing about it."Maybe she is our classmate?" Ir

    "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

"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
