The weather was perfect and the ride home remained silent as Lola stared out from the luxurious car’s window. The scenery outside the vehicle was bustling and multiple cars drove past them as they moved. It was John who had been sent by Noah to pick her up from her mother’s apartment. Currently, the proficient bodyguard was seated beside the chauffeur in the front passenger’s seat. Lola had let down her silky red hair and had worn her green camouflage pants and black crop top which she had kept in her wardrobe back at Maria’s place since she had not left the Sanchez family home with an extra outfit the day before. The men in front could not help but sneak glances at her through the side mirrors. Their madam looked different today... she was like a wild beauty.Lola had her AirPods plugged on, but her thoughts kept drifting back to what had happened in her mother’s home that morning. She was still surprised that her mom who seemed to stay aloof from the world or at least, from the e
Infinity Jewels Headquarters.Top Floor.The elevator dinged and Noah Sanchez got off the lift with his bodyguards closely behind him. The boardroom minute ran for five hours straight and those five hours were hell for the company’s managers who were careful with delivering their reports to avoid losing their well-paying jobs after they had bore witness to the consequence of being stupid.“We’ll leave in an hour,” Noah instructed John as he sank into the comfortable leather chair in his office. At the moment, his fierce eyes were a little dull as he was stressed out. It was early November and this time of the year before Christmas was always demanding. Infinity Jewels was set to release its newest collections of accessories by early January and the various departments in the company worked overtime to ensure that everything took off well. As the person in charge, Noah had to govern each department’s duty and give all their hard work a perfect finishing touch. Noah could easily appoi
Aria stared at the phone in her hand for a while longer after the call with Lola had ended before letting it drop. Bang!.The mobile phone which was intact and functioning well enough less than two seconds ago now lay shattered on the floor with its screen cracked in too many places.Aria’s expression was calm as she stared at the broken object which she had destroyed herself. It was a new phone and was less than a month old but now it was no longer useable. “A pity...” She mumbled as she got up from the bed to pick up the phone from the floor. She took out the sim from the phone before disposing it directly into the trash can. Next, she walked up to the dressing table where two newly bought tickets lay. They were the tickets she had gotten earlier in the day excitedly to go to watch the Get Lit dancers perform with Lola.Aria smiled sadly as she picked them up and ran her fingers over the letterings before tearing up the tickets into pieces and disposing them directly into the trash
Lola snuck too many glances at the handsome man sitting across from her. He was silently eating the food she had prepared and Lola felt a tinge of satisfaction surge from within her. He was no longer shirtless as he had returned with a grey shirt worn over his gym shorts, which covered his attractive abs but still, his muscles bulged as the shirt’s sleeve tightened around his arms making Lola swallow. Even when eating, this man looked sexy as hell. “What’s wrong with me!.” Lola thought as she scolded herself and forced her eyes to concentrate on the food in front of her instead, but even her eyes were unwilling to look away as less than five seconds later, she looked up to fix her gaze on him again. This time, Noah was looking straight back at her. He had felt her gaze on him many times and could not help but look up this time. Having been caught red-handed by the man, Lola’s face reddened as she quickly turned back to her food.Noah frowned. Her plate still had much food on it whi
“So many views already. Are these numbers even real?” Lola exclaimed as Aria passed the phone over to her. This was the second video uploaded on her YouTube channel after the first one was uploaded a few weeks ago. The first dance video has millions of views and comments already and the subscribers had been looking forward to any little news about that mysterious dancer. “Yeah, they are,” Aria replied from a distance. Lola did not look up from the phone or she might have seen the dark look on her friend’s face. Aria made up her mind already. She was doing the right thing. If Lola’s real identity gets exposed to the public, Lola would be forced to get busy and Noah’s family would be high and mighty right? What powerful family would still want an entertainer as a daughter-in-law? In the end, Lola would have no choice but to put an end to her contract with Noah Sanchez. Having her best friend back is all that matters!Lola finally put the phone away as she recalled something. She walk
“Welcome home, Noah.” Lexi’s automated voice greeted and Lola looked up from setting dinner on the table just in time to see Noah walk into the penthouse. His black raven hair was no longer laid back like it was earlier that morning but was now ruffled like she had predicted. “Welcome.” Lola greeted. Noah only gave a nod in reply to Lola’s greeting before elegantly walking past her to go into his bedroom. Inside the room, Noah tried to put his emotions in check. Why was he getting so riled up at the thought of Lola meeting a man privately? He took his time changing his clothes into simple housewear before going back to join the woman in the dining area.Lola sat down unmoving. She seemed to be waiting for Noah. Her slender back was turned to him and she had packed her silky long hair up, leaving it packed up in a messy bun. Her dress was baby blue and simple. It fitted her perfectly and as Noah settled into the seat opposite her, Lola straightened and served out the food, her eyes
Lola ate breakfast alone. After her confrontation with Noah, she had no appetite but she compelled herself to eat. Breakfast had been ready before she received Josh’s call and she had no desire to let the food go to waste.Lola was too scared to call Noah out to the dining table but she served out his meal and kept it covered with a table net. “It’s past 9 a.m.,” Lola muttered looking up at the moving clock hands on the wall and then towards Noah’s bedroom door. “Is he not going to leave for work?.” She wondered aloud. She had promised Josh that she would work on learning some recent dance moves that he had forwarded to her chat but she could not practice properly with the grumpy man still present in the house with her. Around 11:57 a.m., the door to Noah’s bedroom finally opened and the man stepped outside with his tablet in hand. Seeing as Noah was still dressed in home clothes, Lola guessed that the man had no plans to leave home for work after all. “Too bad..will have to postpon
“You...”“I’m glad we have arrived at an understanding mother,” Lola said with a low voice as she smiled. “You would not want to get on Noah’s bad side by insulting his dear wife now, would you? Besides, I like you, mother...” Lola added. She suddenly pouted like she had been wronged. “I wonder why you still treat me this way when I have already made it clear to you that I’m sincere with No...”“It’s fine..” Ava hissed as she looked up at the camera cautiously then lowered her voice. “Just so we are clear, I would never accept you.” She added and leaned forward to pour out tea for herself from the jug on the table.* * *Bianca walked around the penthouse proudly. It was exquisite as she had expected of Noah. The man had high taste but thinking back to the annoying girl in the living area who he had chosen for a wife, she wasn’t so sure if his taste was still as impeccable as she had judged it to be.“Hey.. where’s the restroom?.” Bianca asked the afternoon servant who was busy with h
