George was having a good time in the bar with Michael before he went to the hotel.

The following day being Sunday, when Brielle returned from the hospital and she didn't see George. She made breakfast for herself and retired to her room to get some sleep. She woke when she heard some noise, and went downstairs.

"You must be Pappy's wife" Yaya asked George. Brielle scrunched her eyes.

"Yaya, stop" George said, "stop using that name already, am not longer a kid."

"Who is Pappy?" Brielle asked finding the situation and the name amusing.

"That's my name for your husband, he didn't tell you?" Yaya, said smiling. Brielle started laughing.

"He didn't tell me, it's such a cute name." Brielle said, only to receive a glare from George.

"Yeah, he liked the name when he was small, he even insisted that his mother call him that also." Yaya said.

"I like the name." Brielle said.

"Pardon my manners,I got carried away by the joke, George has told me a lot about you." Brielle became confused,and looked at George. Who gave her a sign to co operate.

"A lot?" Brielle asked.

"Yaya, don't mind her, she is surprised that, you know about her, because we wanted the relationship to be discrete." George intervened immediately to avoid Brielle saying anything that will implicate him.

"And am really sorry for guys" Yaya said, I hugged Brielle. "Thanks for your understanding." Brielle facing George through the hug, raised her eyes at him. And he glared at her.

"Yaya, it's okay, you need some rest." George said.

"I know, I want to catch up with her, and get to know her more."

"You still have enough time to do that, let me show to your room." George led Yaya to her room, leaving Brielle in the living room, as she contemplates on the meaning of Yaya'a words. She has seen Yaya a few times in the company, but is like she didn't recognize her.

"Why did you get another house?" Yaya asked George.

"She wanted a place that will be out of the public eyes."

"Ok, am happy she agreed to do this for me."

"Yeah, she is a good girl."

"Then, you made the right choice."

It's enough, get some sleep, he made her lie on the bed before he left.

Brielle heard a knock on her door, as laid on the bed trying to get some sleep, as her sleep was interrupted.

"Come in."

"The situation in the house will change with the presence of Yaya, you will move your things to my room, but will continue to use the bathroom here, and you won't be sleeping in my room. Am I clear.?"

When he got no response from her, he left the room. George was expecting her to pack immediately, but after 30 minutes, and no sign of her, he went to her room. Without knocking he barged into her room, to find still in the same position as earlier. Which startled Brielle, forcing her to sit up.

"Why are you still here?"

"What do you mean, this is my room."

"And I said you should pack your things to my room, and I mean right now." He half yelled.

"And you said, I shouldn't sleep in your room, and I want to sleep now, can you leave." She said laying down back on the bed.

"Don't annoy me"

"I want to sleep, when I wake up I will do it."

"Do it now!"

"If you so goddamn much want to have my things in your room, then pack it over yourself, or allow me to get some sleep and do it later." She said angrily, challenging George.

George rubbed his forehead. Before returning to his room. Before approaching Brielle on the bed.

"And muttering to her, if you goddamn much want to receive your salary at the end of this month, I will advice you start packing." This made Brielle to sit up from the bed.

"Yeah, rub it on my face." She retorted, before moving to pack her things.

"Shit, this is just the second day of six months and I feel like committing murder."

He muttered as he left her room.

When Brielle finished packing, and started moving her things, when she got to his room, she angrily banged his door, which made a loud noise throughout the house.

"Do you have to be so lousy." She ignored him and continued moving her things. When she finished, it was already late, she had her bath and went to the hospital without telling George.

George heard a knock on his door, which woke him up. He angrily approached the door,

"Are you stupid or ….." he was cut short when he saw the person at the door.

"Yaya, I didn't know you are the one."

Yaya stood there staring at him,

"Is that how you talk to your wife?"

"No, Yaya. You see we are playing a game."

"And you locked door?. Does that mean she is not inside with you.

"Ehhm, we had a little quarrel and left the room."

"To where?"

"Do you want to see her."

"Yes."

"Ok, go to the living room I will get her go you."

Yaya went to the living room, George knocked on Brielle door, when he didn't get a response, he opened ready to shout at her for ignoring her, but he didn't see anybody in the room. He checked the other rooms and the balcony, there was no sign of her.

He picked phone to call her only to realize that he don't have her number.

" Shit, not now. Where did this small witch go to, I have told her to inform me whenever she is going out." He paced around his room, "where could she have gone to." He picked his phone and called his driver.

"Gavy go to the hospital and get Miss. Mikka for me now, even if she protest." And he cut the call. "I don't even know her name."

He went downstairs, to see Yaya who have being waiting for him and Brielle.

"Yaya, it seemed like she left the house, she will be back soon."

Yaya stared at him as if doubting his words.

"How did you not know when she left?"

"I was sleeping when she left,but she dropped a note for me." The lie came flowing easily.

George became uncomfortable with the way Yaya, stared at her as if she knew that he is lying,but she didn't say a word and continued watching her movie.

This made her have her suspicion, but she gave a benefit of doubt.

"Brielle, I understand that you are angry, but you should have picked my call. You don't know the reason I was calling you." "I was closed for the day, so my obligation to you ended for that day."

    An hour later, Michael entered George's office as his office door swung open."So, what's the plan?" George asked, throwing the question at him as he took a seat."Alright, here's the deal. Abacus is a great project that many companies would be interested in. We'll turn their own weapons against them. Jeffery will connect to Grot and showcase the Abacus project for sale. We'll sell it to at least three companies, and then we'll push those companies to launch the project as quickly as possible. This will create tension between Fasher and Mr. Brown. What do you think?" Michael explained."It sounds like a solid plan. Are you sure Fasher and Mr. Brown haven't resolved their issues yet?" George inquired."I've checked, the issues are still ongoing. And you'll have to come up with another project that's even more desirable than Abacus, if possible. We can start working on it now, and present it to Mr. Brown before his meeting with Fasher," Michael suggested."He won't accept it, and you kno

Brielle stood certified on her spot, she never expected him to be here so soon. “George.” She called out not knowing what to do at that moment, whether to jump on him, she was excited seeing him after such a long time, but she tried to hold her excitement because the situation didn't call for it.He walked over to her standing a foot away from her, they could feel each other breath.“Let's go inside.” She blurted when they stood there for some time, before she could comprehend what was happening, he drew her closer to his chest and hugged her.“I missed you.” He said as he ran his finger on her back, Brielle was lost in his scent and wished not to be separated from him again. But it eventually had to come to an end, he detached from her and held her hand leading her inside.“Hi, Dad.” She greeted when she saw her Dad sitting in the living room. “How was your date?” He asked trying to get a reaction from George, and he su

    Brielle was surprised at how she anticipated seeing him.“Does this mean that I missed him?” She asked herself. “No, I didn't” She pinched her cheeks, her phone rang bringing her out of her thinking, and her stomach slipped immediately after seeing the caller.“Hi.” She said when she picked up the call.“How are you?” “I'm fine.”“I got your test.” She sent him a ‘thank you’ test for allowing her to stay in his place and that she would be staying in her father’s house.She hesitated before she answered.“Yeah.”“Elle, can we meet up today?” She gave it a thought, not knowing what to say, what if George arrives while she is out to meet him?“I'm still here.”“Huh, sorry about that, yeah we can meet.” She said before she could even give it another thought.“Ok, I will pick you up in the next few minutes.”“Yeah, ok bye.” The call disconnected, and she stared at herself in the mirror, she never planned on seeing him so soon, until she got her life together and solved things out with Ge

    “Elle, please listen to me.” George let out immediately as she picked up the call. The other side went quiet at his words. “I'm really sorry for the way everything is playing, all I'm asking is that we meet, I want to tell you everything, I want you to see the truth in all of this, which will be better if we meet.”She didn't reply and disconnected the call, she stared at her phone like it was a foreign object, before dropping it and going into the bathroom not before making a mental note to call Nana when she comes out.She stepped out of the bathroom a few minutes later and picked up her phone to call Nana. “Nana.” She called out immediately the call line connected.“Elle, you scared me.”“I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking right and left.”“I understand, but try to kill this old woman before her time, she has a lot to do.” Brielle giggles at her words.“Nana, you are old, what else do you plan to do?”“Witness you walk down the aisle and then carry your baby.” Brielle ran her fingers a

    “This Is Brielle.”“Oh.”“Is Noah with you?”“Yes.”“Could you please give him the phone?”“He is sleeping right now, after going on and on about how you are avoiding him because he confessed to you about how he feels.”“I wasn't avoiding him, I was only trying to get my shit life together and face him.”“You should tell him that when he returns.”“When is he coming back?”“I don't know, but he thinks leaving the house will give you the space you want and make you move freely.”Brielle felt bad instantly at his words.“Please when he gets up, tell him to call me, I want to speak with him.”“I will do just that.” She disconnected the call immediately and slumped in her bed.Everything seemed to be happening so fast, she taking the risk to confess her love to George, only to walk in on the most unimaginable news, and then Noah, she didn’t know why he chose to do this at this vulnerable time, her stomach churned to remind of another problem she was facing, she felt nauseous and ran to th

    Brielle was perplexed after last night's event, she never expected Noah to go about the whole situation in that manner, he didn't allow her to say anything, asking her to think about it. She stayed awake the whole of the night trying to digest the whole situation happenings in her life. She was overwhelmed by her growing feelings for him, but her heart still aches whenever she remembers George.“I wish things didn't go this way.” She held her hair tightly, groaning.“I can't even look him straight in the eyes.” She stayed in bed most of the morning lamenting the way things turned out.The knock on her door brought her back from reverie. She walked reluctantly to the door, knowing the person behind it. “You should come down and eat, you have been up all night.”“Huh.” She let out, surprised how he knew. “I will be down in a few minutes.” She shut the door immediately and leaned her back against it. “Shit he knew, but how.” She smirked at nobody before dashing into the bathroom to ge

    “Have you been able to reach out to her yet?” Michael asked George who sat behind his desk working on his system.“I think I will give her a little time to get over all the drama.” He replied.“Do you know where she is now?” “She flew out of the country, probably she is with her father.” “I think you should try to reach out to her now.”“I would like to do this the way I wish.”“Anything that goes well for you.” Michael left his office with that. George decided to give Brielle a space after he found out last night that she left the country. Maybe it will help her to calm down. ***************“It's been two days, won't you ask why I'm here?” Brielle asked Noah as they had their dinner. “I believe you tell me when you are comfortable.” She shrugged it off and continued with her food, she was surprised by his action, she expected him to throw questions at her, but he kept his calm and didn't bother her.

    Brielle woke up all sore, she felt a heavy hand draped around her waist, she noticed George stir, and she closed her eyes again. She missed his touch the seconds he removed his hand from her waist, but she refused to open her eyes. “When will you be tired of pretending?” She closed her eyes tight, she felt him peck her on her lips, he lingered on her lips for quite a time.“Get off me.” She jerked up from the bed, pushing his chest.“I thought that's what you wanted.” He smirked, and she rolled her eyes at him. She tried to get down from the bed, but her legs betrayed her, and her thighs were hurting. She knew she needed his help to get to the toilet, but she was hesitant to ask him.“Do you need my help?”“You wish, I could get there by myself.”“Are you sure, 'cause I thought I heard you hiss?”“Quite well, thanks.”He turned and continued working with his laptop. “I thought you wanted to leave the room.”“You want me gone?”“No, yes.” She answered confused, as she couldn't bear t
