“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
Sanders Family’s Mansion...The car came to a stop and Bianca Sanders stepped down from the vehicle as its back door opened.Ava had given her a ride but only stopped at a location close enough to her family’s estate while Bianca had dialed up one of the Sanders family’s chauffeurs who had driven her back directly to the mansion.“Welcome back young miss.” The servants greeted him and bowed as she walked past them while Bianca only gave a nod in response. Seeing as the house was still fairly busy, Bianca knew her mother was still occupied with the preparations for the charity ball which was to be held in the family home later that week.“Oh, my dear..” Charlotte Sander’s mellow voice called out sweetly as she met her precious daughter halfway. “Tell me... How did it go?.” She asked excitedly while handing over the notepad and pen she held to the housekeeper standing beside her. The lady immediately received them, then bowed before walking away, leaving the mother and daughter pair alo
The weather was chilly and the stores in the street were starting to put up different colorful Christmas decorations. Three high school girls sat on a bench close to Lola. They were too occupied with watching a video on a phone held by one of them to notice the lady beside them. “I wonder why she uses a mask.” one of the girls pondered.“Maybe she’s ugly...” another girl thought out loud.“Duh. Who knows? I don’t care, I think the mask looks cool on her.” The girl who had spoken up last was the owner of the phone on which the video was being played. She felt slightly upset hearing the words from the two girls as she had come to develop a deep admiration for the mysterious dancer who was now her newfound source of inspiration. “I still think it’s a bad idea.” The other girl mumbled. “No one gets to see what she looks like.”Lola, who was waiting for Josh to come out from the Cafe opposite where she sat with the girls looked up from her phone to see the face of the girl who had spoken
Noah raised an eyebrow on hearing the receptionist’s complaints. “Is that so?.” He asked the lying woman.The receptionist blinked rapidly and looked downwards innocently. “Yes sir.” She lied again in a meek tone.It was evening time and most of the building’s residents had returned from their various places of work at this time of the day. The people in the reception hall had been present from the start of the whole incident and were now gathered around Noah and the two women. They looked at the shameless receptionist completely disgusted at her slyness.“How could someone like her get employed here?.” One of the women muttered with discontent to her friend.“Yeah right?. she is not only lacking in manners but she’s also a liar.” Lola only watched the woman lie with her fists tightly clenched by her sides. Knowing how cold Noah was, she wondered who he was going to side with... this receptionist or.. would he side with her? The latter thought appeared impossible.The receptionist who
“Fertility tonics...?.” Noah who had just walked out from the bedroom could not believe his ears. ‘Why would his grandfather bring them fertility tonics?.’ He thought as he looked from his grandfather to Lola whose face was reddened with embarrassment. ‘Why did I even bother to ask?.’ Lola thought and stared down at the floor.Grandfather Sanchez was grinning from ear to ear satisfied with his great thinking. With the fertility tonics he had personally ordered from China which was to boost the couple’s stamina and improve Lola’s chances of conceiving, he easily calculated that it would not be long anymore before he got a great-grandchild from these two and won the bet which he had struck with the sly Old Boyd.“Grandfather...” Noah called out through gritted teeth. “I have no problem with my stamina. I don’t need to use the tonics.” “Hehe.” The old man chuckled as he heard his grandson’s words. “I do not doubt that.” He agreed and then continued. “You are a true Sanchez born after al
