"Come on brother who else can I ask if not you?" Jeanne asked as she followed her brother to the closet as he walked back in."I won't help you," Joshua said stopping abruptly and turning to face her."You have not even heard what I need from you, you are already saying no" Jeanne said crossing her hand across her chest and blinking multiple times. "I don't need to hear what you need, I already know you have gotten yourself into trouble and I do not want to be a part of all that," he said before turning back and walking further."Please, pretty please" she replied trying her best to pull off a cute face."Stop that," he said with a cringe expression on his face. "Are you going to go with me there?" he said pointing towards the bathroom door. "No," she said shaking her head and taking a step back. "But I will be waiting there for you so do not take too long," she said walking back towards the main bedroom to wait. Joshua shook his head in annoyance and walked into the bathroom to ta
"Good morning" Anette's voice was bright and chirpy and it was barely past seven am. Joshua groaned as he heard his friend walk toward his door with her high-pitched voice."Oh Joshua" she added in a singsong voice as she pushed his door open. Joshua pulled up the covers to his head and muttered silent prayers. he needed help from a special force to help him handle this girl all day. he would not be able to be grumpy around her but he had to follow her around all day."Are you hiding from me?" she asked as she pulled the covers off his face. He opened his eyes and rubbed them gently. He stared at her and she stared back at him. it was like she was waiting for him to make the first move."You look chubbier" Before he could think about what he wanted to say those words left his mouth."Oh I'm glad you noticed," she said letting go of the covers and fitting herself beside him on the bed."Welcome home" he muttered with his eyes closed."I am also very glad to see you too," she said tapp
"Be quiet" Joshua said putting his hand over her mouth to shush her."Are you blowing me off to spend the day with a girl?" she asked taking a step backward and crossing her hand across her chest as if she was vexed with him."Yes," he said tilting his head a bit."Oh my gosh, my baby is finally grown," Anette said running her hand through his hair as if he was a dog who earned a treat."Can I ask you for a favor then?""Is it to surprise your girlfriend?" she asked. she felt this kind of joy that she couldn't explain."Well she is not my girlfriend yet, I want to make her mine so what do I do?" he asked walking towards the coffee chair in the middle of the room."So you just like her? You are yet to be in a relationship?" she asked following him and taking the chair beside his."I am not yet sure if my feelings but I have a good feeling about it""Joshua this is not a business deal where you have a good feeling and then decide to go ahead. You have to be sure of your feelings because
"Mom, thank you for the meal it looks very delicious," Anette said as they sat down to breakfast.She had taken her time to properly educate him about what to do with a lady and she could boldly say that he knew nothing about the matter before now. "Oh Anette, you haven't even taken a bite out of it yet," Jessica said with a sparkle in her eyes. She loved it when people complimented her meals. "Eat a lot okay?" she added with a huge smile across her face."Mom, people don't say that to young people especially influencers like Anette," Jeanne said casually popping a forkful of eggs in her mouth.She gave Anette a smile that said I am pissed with you so I am going to put you in the most disadvantageous position you have ever been in. "Oh I am sorry, I did not know that one could not say such things any longer, but I do hope you would eat a lot""Don't bother Mom you can tell me those things. I will listen only to you" Anette said with a joyful expression."If Leslie heard you she migh
"What?" Aletta heard the words leave her mouth before she couldn't process what had happened. She had entered the Delgado house and made her way towards the dining area when she overheard the conversation at the table.Her eyes darted around in fear and she did not know how to bail herself out of the situation she just put herself in. Her eyes met with Joshua and his expression was soft and lingering on her. it was as if his eyes were trying to say something to her."I am sorry" she muttered as she looked down at the tiled floor. Anette's eyes raised in surprise. Why was his assistant so shocked about his relationship status? "Join us for breakfast" Jessica's voice was high-pitched and full of glee. She was in high spirits since Anette had complimented her meal before her family had the chance to."Thank you Mrs. Delgado but I have already had breakfast" Today Aletta was not lying because she made sure to have breakfast before she came over."I will be waiting outside for you sir" Sh
"Sir?" she asked as she bent to the car level. 'Why is he trying so hard to kill me? Is he going to kill me in a car accident because I rejected him? ' she thought to herself as a smile forcefully appeared on her face."If Jack would be going on a break today then I guess I should be doing the driving, it is part of my job description after all," she said as she waited for a response."I can do the driving" he said pulling up the seatbelt to himself."But you can barely keep a straight line whilst driving," she said before standing up straight and walking to the driver's side of the car. she opened the door and waited for him to come down.Jack watched with shock at the interaction between the two young people. he had been Joshua's driver ever since he was young, he had never seen the young boy volunteer to drive himself before. he knew that he only had the driver's license because it served as a means of identification. "Get down sir" Aletta said while trying to keep the professiona
"Where to sir?" she asked as she approached the gate of the estate."To the beach," he said without looking up from his phone. he was busy reading the morning news and checking the stock prices for the day. "Sir?" she asked trying to look at him from the inner mirror. he had a serious expression on and his face was still down to his phone."Do we have a meeting I did not know about?" she asked herself in a mutter but he was able to hear her. "I never told you that we were going to work today, you just assumed," he said as he raised his head and his eyes met hers in the mirror. she looked away uncomfortably as her eyes shuffled the entire length and depth of the car interior. "What are we going to the beach for then?" she asked and a realization dawned on her. Was it possible that he was going to meet his girlfriend here? Was she to drive him to his date? She felt her blood boil and she did not know why. He asked her out and she said no so why was she so pissed that he had moved on?
"What?" she asked staring at him because she definitely needed more than that statement to understand the situation."I brought you here" he continued to explain."What?" she asked again."It seems as though what is your favourite word," he said tilting his head a little so he could see her fully."I only react like that if I do not understand what is being said" "You called it a date so let's go have a date" "You and I?" she asked with a hiccup."I don't see anyone else here or do you?" he asked with a teasing voice. She had never known Joshua to be one with the jokes. No one would ever believe her if she told them. if she took a video of him they would probably call her a video manipulator because he had been known to be serious-minded just like his father."Are you asking me out on a date?" she asked shocked. What about his girlfriend? Was he just a douchebag like any other man? Did his wealth not make a difference in making him a better man?"Yes, I thought that was obvious" "
