Aletta looked up to see Leslie standing at her table. She had not seen the woman outside of situations where she had to meet the Delgado family so seeing here was a bit out of place for her."I am here to see Joshua, he is in right?" Leslie said and walked into the office without sparing her a glance. She pushed the door open without a knock and Aletta tried to get a glimpse of Joshua's face to see his reaction to the woman."Joshua," she said as the door closed shut."Aunty Leslie" Joshua said standing up and coming to her. "When was the last time I saw your face? It seems like you are avoiding me" she said taking her seat on the couch."I am so sorry I have been so busy with work" Joshua said trying to make an excuse for himself."I understand," she said dismissively."What brings you here?" Joshua asked. She had never been to his office before so she must have a reason to be there with him."Aren't you going to offer me something to drink?" She asked and he shook his head. "Of co
"What?" Joshua asked shifting in his chair."I mean I get that you two could have a little fun with other people" she said stressing the word other people and giving Aletta a very bad look."What?" Joshua said again. He could not understand what she was saying. He did not want to understand what she was saying because to him it all sounded like nonsense."I mean, I also had fun in my days before I settled with Brian so it makes sense if you two want to play around but I expected you two to get married in the end" she said taking up the cup and sipping it.She spat out the entire content from her mouth into the cup and turned to Aletta who stood there waiting for Joshua to tell her what next to do. "What is this?" she asked with a grimace on her face."Lemon tea" Aletta replied."I asked for Earl Grey tea" Leslie said dropping the cup to the table."And I made it clear to you that we don't have that" "And I told you to go out of your way to get it," Leslie said as if she was challengi
Leslie rubbed her hand on her dress as she waited for Jessica. Jessica came out with a tray that contained a drink and some cookies. "Try this, I made them by myself," Jessica said with glee. Leslie smirked. Of course, Jessica wanted to show off what she had made she always did her things that way. "You did?" Leslie said in a fake voice as she took a bite of one of the cookies. She smiled, she could not deny that Jessica's meals were always so good. "This is so nice" Leslie commented and Jessica felt a smile creep up her face. "So you are here to see me?" Jessica asked as she took a cup and put it to her mouth. "Yeah, I came to talk to you about something" Leslie said dropping the half-eaten cookie to the saucer in front of her and then dusting her hands together. "Okay, what's that" Jessica had missed the friendship between herself, Leslie and Alicia. After Alicia moved in with her husband the friendship took a decline and she had noticed that Leslie did not reach out except she
First of I don't know if I should start with an apology or a vote of thanks because I owe both to my audience but here goes nothing. Dear Readers I am grateful to you all, you have been such support to me, asking for updates and even checking in on me while still checking out my other works it means so much to me. Now to my apology because you don't deserve what I have done to you all. How well can I say this so you all can understand!? As stated earlier I had a program which I had to attend and I was not allowed with electronic devices which resulted in my poor updates. When I got back from the camp I tried to begin writing for you all but I felt burnt out. So burnt out that the words that usually flowed so easily for me became hard and I even had a hard time writing little notes for myself and even replying to the messages of my loved ones. I found it hard to spell little words (And I mean it when I said I sat for a good thirty minutes trying to remember how to spell the word H
Xavier and Brian were standing there with their mouths wide open in shock. Xavier could not believe that the kind-hearted Leslie who had helped his wife get accustomed to the wealthy world was the one saying such things. Brian was surprised because even though his wife had said things that hurt him he still believed she was saying it out of a place of hurt and did not mean it. "Leslie" Xavier said slowly and in a low tone. She shivered as if someone had released a gust of air into the atmosphere. "What are you saying?" he asked walking into the room. Leslie bit the corner of her lips and rolled her hands into a ball at her side. This was not her plan. She knew that Jessica had control over Xavier and that she could change Jessica's mind Xavier would be a done deal. "Why did you go to Joshua's office?" Xavier asked coming to stand in front of her. Brian had been contemplating going for divorce and this moment was the confirmation he needed. Leslie must have lost her mind because
Xavier had tried to understand why and how Leslie had been acting but there was nothing to justify her actions. He narrowed his eyes and took a few more steps to be in close range to her. She could feel his breath on her cheek because of his bent head. The posture would have been romantic if they had been partners but she was not feeling any romance whatsoever all she felt at that moment was fear. She was afraid that Xavier would hold her by the neck and strangle her till she felt no breath in her throat anymore. She gulped and tried to hide the fear she felt from showing through her eyes. "What are you doing Xavier?" she asked flustered taking a step back to create space between them. "I am sending a warning to you," he said slowly and in a low voice. "Oh please" she said taking her fingers up to her face and flicking at them. "You know I am right, if I weren't married to that" she said pointing to Brian casually with a smirk before turning to face him. "Dawson would
"You can put me down now" Jessica murmured into Xavier's chest. "What?" Xavier asked stopping in his tracks as he looked down at her. "What are you thinking?" "Nothing" he jumped to defend himself even though he had been deep in thought about what had happened some moments ago. "Nothing?" she asked tilting her head the best way it could go. "It's about Leslie, Did she not seem off to you?" he asked. He was disgusted and disappointed by her behaviour but overall he was surprised and worried. "I know right, I always thought she was the sweetest. I mean she was always there" Jessica said. "Maybe something is up?" As much as Xavier hated her attitude, he wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt. "Yeah," Jessica trailed off as she nestled in his hands. "You know I can walk, right? There is nothing wrong with me" she added after a moment. "Are you sure you aren't shaken up by her attitude?" he asked. "You sneaky man" she said narrowing her eyes at him. "Sneak
"Let's talk" "I have said this countless times and I can not believe that you are somehow making me repeat myself again, I don't want to talk to you" Leslie said with a tone of disdain. "You have to" he said snatching her hand and pulling her with him towards his car. Brian opened up the front passenger side and shoved her inside before closing the door and walking over to the driver's side. He began to drive out with silence in the car. "If you want to talk then do so and let me out immediately" she murmured as she felt the tense air in the car. She was sulking that her plan had failed but she could not believe that he had somehow caught her in the act. Her full plan was to get Joshua and Anette married and then go back to her husband. She was aware of how head over heels he was for her and that he would come running back if she shed a few tears. She wondered if her tears would be of any use to her at all or if she had to devise a stronger plan to get him back. Jessica had
