"Richard, can we meet?" "What's this about?" Richard was not sure about meeting with her. She was a whole show all by herself when they were dating. She had given him a tough time coupled with the fact that she was obsessed with Joshua."It's been a while, I think we should meet up and I have nice things to tell you too," she said with a grin."What nice things?" Richard was curious. He had always wanted to marry Anette and seeing her would spark up those emotions he had buried when he left her."You will see" "Let's meet up for dinner, I will make a reservation at your favourite restaurant" Richard was somewhat glad to see her but he was sceptical about the meeting."What restaurant?" she asked."Kings," he said.Aletta suddenly got a flashback of the relationship she had with him. He had always been thoughtful of her and it's somehow strange that he remembered the place she loved."See you then," An
"Well, I need your help" Anette said and Richard laughed."I knew it, when I received your call I just knew it had to be because you needed my help" "Well, out of all my exes it was your name that came to mind" "Should I feel honoured?" Richard said in a mocking voice his hand on his chest as if he was about to bow down to greet her."See this sarcastic nature is the...." she trailed off. She did not need to be snarky with him."Is the reason we broke up?" Richard asked leaning into the table and smirking."I never said that" Anette said her face scrunching in annoyance. She should not have brought up the topic in the first place. "So what were you about to say? You know you should complete your sentences" Richard said and she shook her head."Let's forget about the reason we broke up, it's all in the past" Anette said trying to divert his attention from the matter. She did not need him to stick to that when
Joshua and Aletta laid his room. Their room had become their new dating spot because of its privacy. Aletta's head was on his chest as she used her hand to trace around her chest."Joshua" she said lifting her head from his chest."Yeah," he said his hand beneath his head as he stared up at the ceiling."What Anette said has been bothering me" Aletta said plopping her head on her hand."What did she say?" Joshua asked looking down at her trying to see her face properly."About us enjoying our secrecy for the moment""Don't worry about her" Joshua said trying to wave it off."But I am worried, you know she is an expert with petty tricks," Aletta said."What is making you worried?" "What if she leaks the secret because she is angry? I am not bothered about myself but you, if it's revealed that you are dating your assistant" "Everyone would call you a gold digger," Joshua said cutting her off before she could finish the statement. "You should be worried about yourself and not me" "You
"I never thought you would call me," Luke said over the phone."I never had a reason to call you, Mr Delgado did not need you yet," Aletta said."Seeing your call now can I assume that he needs my services now?" "Yes, he would like to take on that interview offer," Aletta said.Luke laughed heartily. He had known that Joshua would not turn him down and so he had continued to pester Aletta into making an appointment for an interview. It was weird that he always turned down interviews like he was hiding something from the world."That's wonderful" Luke said rubbing his palms together."He would give you an exclusive, on the condition that you ask the questions we have prepared" "That won't be an issue at all," Luke said. "When do you want to fix for the interview?" he asked."Tomorrow as early as possible," Aletta said.Luke senses that something is wrong but asking about it at the spot would not allow be the one to get the exclusive whatever it might be."Okay then, I would expect de

Hello, I have to confess that I have never met such patient people like my readers. Y'all are wonderful people and I am glad to be back. I came back from my stay-away camp last week but I was a little down hence the long wait before updating. I am back now and I will try my best to give you better than before.Thank youEnjoySUCH A GOLD DIGGERSHE WAS STAYING CLOSE TO HIM AND ACTING LIKE SHE WAS ONLY HELPING HIM WHILE SHE WAS TRYING TO GO FOR HIS MONEY.SHE IS NOT HALF AS BEAUTIFUL AS I AM.When Aletta had thought of the hate comments she would get she had not imagined half of what filled the internet and her phone. Somehow the internet proved itself and unleashed the hungry and annoyed citizens who had no better use of their time.They rather trolled a random woman online for her choice of love when they knew nothing about her or her love interest except what they chose to know.Even though Joshua had been the one to break the news the impact had been a lot, even though Joshua was
Joshua heard a knock on the door, he pulled the phone slightly away from his ears to confirm if he actually heard the knock."Who is there?" he asked. He heard a foot shuffle before another knock followed."Hold on Aletta, someone's at my door" "Call me later then," she said cutting off the call before he could say a word. He was going to call her right after he confirmed who was at the door.The door creaked open and Jessica was standing there with a small tray in one hand and a bright smile on her face."Mom?" he said opening the door wider so she could come in."I thought you had slept already, can I come in?" "Sure," he said. She walked in and placed the tray in hand on the table. Joshua closed the door and followed her in."How are you holding up?" she asked turning to face him. When she saw the expression on his face she knew that her question was somewhat invalid. How could he be fine when he was also facing some kind of backlash? She had thought the news would fizzle out wi
Joshua pulled away from his mother's firm grip on him. "I'm not a child you know that right?" he said blinking to send away the tears threatening to break from his eyes."You will always be my child" Jessica said peering into his eyes. A knock on the door made both of them turn to the door. "Who is it?" she asked and he shrugged."No idea," he said standing up and walking to the door to see who it could be."Hello brother" Jeanne said leaning into the door frame."Jeanne?" he was shocked to see her there. "Are you just getting home now?" he asked when it dawned on him that she was still in her work clothes and shoes."Yeah," she drew out as her eyes darted around."We closed from work five hours ago" Joshua exclaimed in surprise."I was on a date with Thiago" Jeanne responded a blush creeping up her face."Little lady, don't you think you spent way too much time outside?" Joshua asked.Jeanne's eyebrows went up in a questioning manner. Why was he acting like a concerned older brother?
