"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
Alex followed Clara to Gina's office... when they got their Gina held her breath as Alex walked into... he was even more handsome than she remembered. it would make it bearable to be married to him... "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...
Juliet picked up her phone that kept ringing for the nth time... she dropped her phone and face palmed herself... She had answered the call and it was her aunt... she ended the call immediately without hearing what her aunt wanted to say, and now she kept calling her over and over again... it was getting so much on her nerves, but she knew if she answered the call, her aunt would keep asking her for money... Money that she didn't even have to give. if she did, she would have used it to move away from this neighbourhood for good, but she was tight on cash, and Claudia was only making things worse. How was it her problem if her cousin was in jail. "Please would you f*cking leave me alone!" She yelled at Claudia and ended the call... she switched off her phone and slumped on her bed... When would all her problems end for good. Maybe moving away was for the better. What of Claudia found her again... Why did it have to be her... She couldn't always rely on Alex to defend her... They were
Claudia walked into the room, and Alex turned to look at her... She smiled at him and waved her hand as she walked to the chair opposite him... if things turned out well, she would have more than enough not only to bail her son out of jail but to also pay the interest off some of her debts, maybe even more... He eyes scanned his clothes to his shoes, he looked expensive too... Did he walk for a huge conglomerate? Or was he a business owner, maybe she could set him up with her daughter? "You can order anything you want," Alex said, and a few seconds later, a waiter came into the room to take their other... Claudia saw it saw it as her chance and immediately showed the waiter what she wanted on the menu... The most expensive dish in the restaurant... She wanted to taste what this rich folks spent so much on... He didn't look concerned about what she was ordering, and Claudia was finally convinced that he was loaded... Where did her niece meet such a guy... it would have been better
