Later in the evening … Hope Orphanage “I think we should head back home now, we’ve spent pretty much all our day here,”“What says the time?!” Jenna asked as she walked towards Nimi where he stood.He immediately tucked his hand into his pocket to bring out his phone, just as he pulled his phone out the bracelet in his pocket fell out with it and landed on the floor.Jenna’s eyes went wide immediately she saw it, she slowly squatted on the floor and picked it up, her hands caressed the beads as she stared at it, Nimi just stared at her with dropped Jaws as she caressed the bracelet and stared at it, he could see intense feelings he couldn’t quite process in her eyes.“Where did you find this?!” She asked softly as she stood up to her feet and looked up at him.“Jenna I …”“It’s really beautiful and unique, I’ll like to get something like it, can we get it on our way back?!”“What store did you get it from?!” She added immediately, interrupting his sentence as she stretched out the b
Next Morning ….The cooper’s Mansion …“Leaving already?!” Bob voiced, appearing at the head of the staircase, Jeremy paused in his tracks as he turned around to face his father.“Yeah, been away for too long, can’t say that I don’t miss my job!” Jeremy replied, Bob’s wrinkled facial skin slowly stretched into a smile as he descended the stairs, slowly and steadily.“I heard what you did for Thatcher’s corp, helping them out with Jerry why in the world would you do that?!” Bob queried, gently crossing his hands behind him, a grim look on his face.“There’s no other way to sell our noble intentions than that dad!” Jeremy replied a small sly smile at the corner of his lips, he gently adjusted his Tuxedo and took an inch step closer to his father, locking gaze with him.“I’ve become absolutely charming to her also, by the time I’m done counting favors she’ll have no option than to do as we want!”“You just focus on getting into her father’s head, I’ll keep on with her!”“I’m almost ther
Meanwhile Naija foodies …Nimi walked into the small but comfy cafeteria, it was quite full today, his eyes darted around the room insearch of Annabeth, since the last conversation they heard, she had been on his mind and he knew that he owed her an apology.He came here for breakfast after dropping Jenna off at the office and taking a thirty minute break , he hoped he would find her there in the ample time he had to spend there.His eyes finally zeroed on her, she was seated alone by a window seat with a bottle of Pepsi in front of her and an half filled cup in her hand, she seemed lost in thought as she swirled the drink in her hand absentmindedly.“A penny for your thoughts,” Nimi voiced immediately he got to her table, she looked up at him as he pulled the chair backwards and took his seat.“Look, I don’t want any trouble with you,” she replied immediately, dropping the glass of drink on the table. She folded her hands across her chest as she stared back fiercely in his eyes, sud
Later in the Evening … 4:00pm …“So clear up this Apple crescent property, and give me a full report on it, I’ll weigh in and once I’m done we’ll put it up for sale, Understood?!” Jenna asked, looking up from the file in front of her and at Claire.“Understood ma’am, I’ll make sure the plumber finishes his work today! I’ll stop over there on my way home to make sure everything is now perfect!” Claire replied as she took the file from her and crossed her hands behind her, Jenna inhaled deeply resting her full weight on the chair as she crossed her legs.“No, that would be too stressfull for you!” Claire looked up at her abruptly with wide ears and unbelievable eyes.“Just go over and clear the property tomorrow, Send the full report to me before evening!” Jenna continued, gently swirling the chair she was seated on.“Thank you so much ma’am,”“Thanking me for something as trivial as this makes it seem like I’m a wicked boss!” She uncrossed her right leg immediately as she placed it me
Meanwhile ……“This came in for you this morning,” Tom said with a small respectful bow as he walked into Franco’s office.“From who?!”“It didn’t say, the dispatch rider just dropped it off for you,” Tom answered. Franco slowly looked up at him and crossed his legs in his seat.“Fine!” “Drop it on the table, you can leave,” he instructed, thoughtfully rubbing his thumb against his index finger.“Hmm, let’s see what we have here!” Franco muttered as he picked up the brown envelope, he impatiently tore the seal open, dipped his hands inside and pulled out the content.The content was an hard drive, he took it out fully and placed it in his laptop, he waited a minute for it to come up, immediately it came up, his eyes went wide open in shock.It was a video clip, a video he had as much as possible wiped away from the surface of the earth. Immediately the video finished playing, he picked up the envelope and shook it rigorously again, a white piece of paper meticulously cut into a recta
Quinn’s Apartment …About an hour later …“Just keep drinking water, you’ll be fine,” Darell said to Quinn calmly as he took the warm towel he placed on her head away.Her eyes followed his every movement as he squeezed the towel dry into the bowl of warm water, he got up and poured the water away in the sink, she wanted to say something, she wanted to ask why he didn’t just drop her at home and leave, why he was doing all these for her, but it just seemed like a force kind of shut her mouth and took her voice away.“Why didn’t you just let me sleep,” She finally asked in a murmur after conquering the battle with her inner self, a warm smile curved at the corner of his lips as he walked back to her.“You had a lot of drink today, if I had let you sleep your hangover tomorrow would be totally unbearable”“And I’m sure you have to work!”“So it’s better you calm it down now, while you aren’t feeling any pains” Her lips stretched in a small smile as she slowly laid on the chair and pulle
Next Morning ….Tuesday Morning …..A small gentle consistent knock came on Quinn’s door repeatedly, she groaned lowly as she turned in the chair tiredly, she stretched out her hands above her head and her joints released light addicting pop sounds.She slowly turned to face the door, her lips stretched into a smile slowly touching her forehead with her palm, thanks to Darell she did not feel any hangover pain this morning, but she definitely felt tired.The knock on the door came again rudely interrupting her thoughts, she reluctantly pulled the duvet away from her body, put on her flip flops and headed towards the door.“Who’s there!” She said with a loud yawn as she pulled the door open leaning in on the door frame.“Good Morning Quinn,” Jenna greeted, a wide smile plastered on her face as she stared at Quinn,“Hugh!” Quinn gasped as she pushed herself away from the door frame and stood up straight, “What are you doing here,” she questioned immediately her brows knotting into a fro
“Sister!" Elizabeth's eyes widened as she heard her say that. She had briefly hoped that her eyes and mind were playing games with her."I'll attend to her," she stated sternly to the attendant standing nearby, her tone leaving no room for argument or further discussion.“What the fuck are you doing here?!” Elizabeth approached her with a growl, her brow furrowed in disbelief. A smug smile played on the lady’s lips as she walked up to a mirror, as if she owned the room. She stared at her reflection, admiring herself. "You're quite too old for foul language like that, don't you think?"She continued to examine herself in the mirror, looking fascinated at her own appearance. "Ooh, you definitely haven't changed! You still have eyes for good things," she purred, a self-satisfied grin on her face. "I look perfect," she whispered to herself."Of course, I'll take this dress!" She declared as she turned around and strutted back to Elizabeth. She held her head high, relishing her own pr
