/Meelah’s POV/“Is it just me or Brian kings has been strangely considerate today?”At this point,it is Not just Brian kings, but everyone that used to work under him because they are being strangely respectful today, and those are the same set of people that have been taking the lead to revolt against every single order that I give in the office, but this afternoon two people came to help ease my work load according to the chairman’s orders. Initially,I thought it was another of Amelia’s ploy to get back at me, so I ran out of the office on the pretext of needing to use the bathroom, and then when I got to the bathroom I messaged Brian to ask why his assistant was insisting to help me when she was supposed to be assisting him with his meeting, then he explained to me that he has work for me after 5pm and he needs my schedule to be cleared. After I got the message from Brain, I left the bathroom for the office to rush my work because I wanted to finish up before five so that I could
\Meelah’s POV/“Ari! Ember! Dianne!” Aurora shouts as she approaches the mansion, making me shake my head because I didn’t know that she was serious.“What is the deal between you and Aurora?” I turn back to question him.“You don’t have to know that” he answers smugly, making me eye him suspiciously.“I don’t trust you guys” I make it known to him and he just smiles confirming the fact that everything is suspicious about him and Aurora's sudden alliance.“You don’t have to trust us, just help me to bring out the things in the car so that I can leave you guys to enjoy yourselves” Brian says as he opens the door of the car and starts to bring out the gift bags.“Hmmmmmm…...” I mentally prepare myself to question him.“Did Aurora mention that the girl’s night is a sleep over thing?” I question him so that he can be carried along in my program.“It is very obvious from the name” he chuckles.“If you need me to pick you up tomorrow, you need to, give me heads up in advance……...like an hou
/Meelah’s POV/“So are you ready to tell me why exactly you are avoiding me” she inquires again and I start to rack my brain for what to say?“Your drink is ready,” Nelson says passing me a glass of juice.“thank you” I acknowledge, grateful that I have finally gotten the interruption that I needed, and I will be able to escape having any serious conversation with Eden.“I need to ask my boss a few questions, so I will leave you guys to it,” Nelson says as he excuses himself from the kitchen and makes me sigh in disappointment.“Since you are not ready to talk to me, I am ready to have that conversation now instead of continuously postponing it so I will ask questions, and you have no choice but to answer because I can feel our friendship dissipating into thin air because of the events that happened over the past one week and I can’t keep letting that happen” Eden infers and my jaw drops in shock.“Melanie Caleb or Melanie Brian-Kings” she starts making me gulf nervously and shift unc
/Brian’s POV/After bribing my best friend on Friday afternoon, our relationship went back to what it used to be and we got talking about a lot of things, then he gave me his candid advice about putting efforts into trying to get into Aurora’s good books because things will get very bad when they start thinking that I am trying to take meelah for granted because she is only a substitute. Me being the generous person that I am, I called the Michelin stared chef in my house to make delicacies for the Emeralds since I and the Weston sisters used to be really good friends that grew to together because of how close our parents are, and we only drifted apart when my feelings started to conflict my friendship for Ember. Asking my chef to make delicacies also felt right because going over to someone’s house empty handed doesn’t speak well of me, but Elliot was not satisfied with just the food option and he kept on complaining that he feels that it is not enough so we had to come up with a p
/Meelah’s POV/The girl's night commenced with my girls and I downing cocktails, the snacks that was sponsored by Brian and a whole lot of gossip that I and Eden have missed out from.At that point, I realized and there was nowhere I will rather be at that moment because my girls are just like my second family.Ember and Dianne took turns in telling us about how Embers first day at work went, and what made it twice as interesting was because Dianne escorted Ember escorted her office on her first day at work after two weeks of un avoidable silence due to the whole pregnancy saga and her being grounded by her father.Dianne told us that she followed Ember to the office because her gut feeling kept on telling her that the second in command of her company, Rhea who happens to be both brian and Adrians friends were going to kick up trouble for Ember and that was exactly what happened. Just like Brians secretary made it look like I was trying to be bossy because I am now married to the b
Meelah's POV/"Mrs. Kings" Eden calls out to me from her dressing mirror and I raise an eyebrow at her before taking my attention back to my instagram simply because Aurora tagged my real account to one of the pictures at the press conference but I completely forgot that I had a social life because I have been dealing with some real-life shit, but now I have to deal with everything."Are you intentionally ignoring me or your hairs are plugged" Eden inquires glancing in my direction and locking eyes with me as I take my attention away from her and I invest it in what I am doing"Who are you busy talking to on that phone with uttermost concentration?" Eden inquires and I sigh because I can tell that she is starting to scrutinize me like a typical myrtle circle mom, just because it looks like I am lazing around which is not the case at all."don't tell me you suddenly made up with Ryan" she suddenly concludes. "hell no" I answer her firmly. "If I have made up with Ryker you would have
/Meelah’s pov/Eden’s drama eventually dies down and the car goes dead silent, gravevyard standard because the glass was all wound up with the air condition turned on, so there is no disturbance from the outside world as I lean into my chair and watch the other cars skid past us at high speed or pherhaps we were the one skidding past them at high speed with the way my bestie is driving dangerously fast which is different from how should drive normally, but I guess since it took only one day for the whole orientation of my life to gravely change, a lot could have happened to my Eden in one week. The drive to kings villa continues quietly till Eden pulls up in front of kings villa, the building in kings estate occupied by Mr and Mrs kings. “I was not paying attention to the environment when drove in, if not I would have described Brian and my apartment to you, but it spilled my mind if not I would have told you in advance” I take the blame almost immediately. “Wait a minute” she says
/Meelah’s POV/“Hey mama…..come back here” Eden states making me stop in my track but I don’t dare turn back because I don’t want to be considered as defying Mrs kings orders because I am sure that Brian won’t be happy when he hears that I disrespected him mom. “If I am the guest that you just asked her to serve, then I am not a guest and meelah was going to give me a tour of the kitchen so if I really wanted something to drink, there is nothing wrong with my hands do I can sissy’s grab something to drink myself”Eden speaks up for making making me sigh because speaking out for me won’t help at all when Mrs kings had already formed her opinion of me. “I can see that despite everything that she did to you, you guys still didn’t fall out” Mrs kings points out. “With all due respect aunt if you were trying to pass a comment about both meelah and my friendship when you were making the comment about “people that I considered ny close friends but they don’t have my good interest at heart
