Juliet walked Alex to his car when it was finally time for him to leave... He looked tired and hesitant to leave but he knew he couldn't stay and it was getting late..."I'm sure your father wouldn't like to know you are finding it hard..." She said as he was about to enter his car..."I doubt it" Alex answered... "He was more of a workaholic than I was and always put his job first before anything else. that was the live he lived" "isn't that more of a reason, why he wouldn't want you to live like him" Juliet said and it took Alex a few seconds to digest her words..."Thank you for the dinner" Alex said and smiled at her... Juliet stood there watching as his car drove off... she hoped he was going to be okay... _______________ _________________ Juliet walked into her the publishing office where she worked and headed straight for Sonia's her boss' office. she was going to suggest they try to seek investment for other bigger companies to help them with their debts, but she wasn't su
Gina stopped her car at a gas station and picked up her scarf and sunglasses. She made sure no one was coming her away before she came out of her car and walked hurriedly across to where another car was parked... She couldn't risk anyone seeing her in such a place... "Did you find out" She said to the man in the car and he nodded. the man handed her an envelope and Gina Snatched it from his hand and impatient opened... There were pictures and she started ro flip through the pictures. "This is the girl he had been hanging out with!" Gina said and took off her sunglasses... She couldn't deny the lady was pretty, but she wasn't like her in any way... she looked so normal... Her clothes and everything else... Was this the person Alex was avoiding her for... She closed her eyes and let out a deep breath... "How long have they been seeing each other?" She asked her private investigator as she went through all the pictures... There was a picture of them at the park together, and anot
"That stupid boy," Michelle muttered under her breath when her driver drove she and Gina, to where juliet worked... She was glad she had such a daughter in law with quick thinking. Gina reminded her of herself in a way... She was ambitious and she liked it... She just wished she wasn't so forward sometimes... it would have been better if she hadn't gone and found things out herself. She would have handled the matter sooner or later... "This is the place ma'am," Her drive said when they stopped in front of a building with a sign reading "DB Publishing company."""" "We are not here to confront her. just to speak with her, " Michelle said, and Gina nodded. They both came out of the car and walked into the building that didn't even have an elevator. They had to go up the stairs... Gina barely placed her hand on the stair railing as she walked behind Michelle... How could people work in such a place... Her boutique that she considered small was far bigger than the place... They arrive
"We have to come back here. what if she ignores this? " Gina said as their car drove away from Juliet's office. Michelle wished Gina would just shut her mouth and let her handle this, but Gina was not satisfied... she wanted Michelle to do more so she could be rest assured that no one would stand in her way of getting Alex to marry her... "You don't have to concern yourself with this anymore, Gina. I've told you already that I will take care of this." Michelle almost snapped at her but managed to control herself... When they arrived at Michelle's villa, she walked off without asking Gina if she wanted to come in and stay for long. she needed to clear her mind, and Gina wasn't helping one bit... Gina simply went to where her car was parked and got in "You have to do something or I will" She muttered under Her breath and was about to start her car engine when her phone vibrated in her purse... she immediately took it out, thinking it was her private investigator and that he had more inf
Anna walked into the living room with a glass and bottle of wine in her hand, proving Charles Dawson right after proving Charles words right... "Isn't that the second bottle this evening?" Charles said with disdain... "How is that any of your business?" Anna replied and drank all the contents in the wine glass before pouring herself into another glass. Charles shook his head. "I wonder how much more your kidneys can take.... you may die before I do, " He said, mocking and before Anna could have her comeback, Doris, their cook who had been working for the family for the family for almost thirty years... "Dinner is ready, sir," Doris informed... Gina wondered how Doris could put up with such a family for so long and not try to quit even once. was the pay that good... "Thank you, Doris," Charles said to her and walked out of the living room, but not before staring at Anna with disdain in his eyes... She was already halfway through her bottle of wine, and he hated how she looked now. She
"How was work?" Alex asked, breaking the silence between the both of them. A smile appeared on Juliet's face when he mentioned work. Her mood was just great today..."Really great, we have been having problems lately, but I think everything is going to be solved soon," Juliet said, and Alex nodded... he was glad to know that everything was working out well, like he had instructed Patrick to make sure of...The smile in her beautiful face warmed his heart... "How was your day?" She asked him, and he nodded. "My day was like every other day," he answered. His day was filled with work and boring, but once he saw her, he forgot all about that... "I was looking forward to seeing you all day... my day feels complete now, " He added, and Juliet face immediately became flushed... How could he say something like that so easily and make her feel this way.... The butterflies in her tummy seemed to. He delighted and started their back flips, and she bit her lips so he wouldn't see her smile... She
"Sir, I think your mother knows about her already. She and Gina Dawson visited her work place yesterday, " Patrick reported to Alex. He could see the crease that formed on Alex brow and then the look in Alex eyes when he raised his eyes... He was mad. "Gina Dawson," Alex repeated the name, trying to think of where he had heard it before, and it came to him. The person his uncle had mentioned who came to his office yesterday. "She must he close to this, Gina," Alex said, and Patrick nodded. he has gathered information about it already. "Yes, your mother and aunt often frequents her boutique, and she visits your mother at her house quite often... I think your mother is really found of that was why she arranged a blind date between the both of you, " Patrick said, and Alex scoffed. "More like she needs someone to control and keep an eye on me. tell me immediately she tries to approach juliet again, " Alex instructed, and Patrick nodded. he was unsure if he should voice out his opinion an

"You can go," She said to Clara, who was still standing in the room, Clara glanced at Alex one more time before leaving. was this man really with Gina? One of her sweetest smile immediately appeared on her face as soon as Clara was out of her office, and they were both alone... "I wasn't expecting you to show up like this," She said and gestured for him to take a seat... Alex nodded and took a seat... from her smile, he could tell already that she was a really good actress and manipulator... she knew how to act nice in front of others but was completely the opposite of that... "Did my mother tell you we are going to get engaged?" He said straight forward, and the smile on Gina's face widened... "Yes, I was going to arrange for you to meet my father..." She said, and Alex scoffed...
