"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
Gina sat in her car, trying to calm her nerves... "Send me his f*cking location right now!" She yelled at the private investigator she had hired over the phone... The last few days had been beyond unsettling for her, and she had been scared that Alex would approach her father... She couldn't take it anymore, she was angry and frustrated now... "But ma'am..." The private investigator started, but she caught him off... "Shut the hell up, do you want your money or not! whatever I do is none of your business!" Gina yelled at him... she was going to lose it if he was anywhere around that 'Juliet!' While she was in such a state... if he was just fooling around with her she didn't care about that, what she was mad about was the fact that he didn't want to have anything to do to her after she had planned out her life in her head with him... She had to start afresh! "Why can't you just fool around with her and then be with me? I need you, " Gina muttered. Her father was never going to leave
"She can go home after the IV drop is done," the nurse said before leaving Alex and Juliet alone... "I told you I was fine," Juliet muttered under her breath. She felt better and less shaken up than before... Alex had almost carried her into the emergency room when they got to The hospital she had to persuade him not to... She still had that thought at the back of her mind. Was it really just an accident or incident? Maybe the driver lost control and panicked when they almost hit her... "Have you called the police?" She asked Alex, who was sitting beside her and had his eyes on her like she would disappear at any second... "Yes, they will find out who it was," He lied. He had asked Patrick to find out who it was instead... "I would like to go home now, since I'm not seriously done... it's almost done. " She gestured at the Iv drip... Alex glanced at it and then at her... he would prefer if she just rested a bit here... "Maybe you should rest a bit," A suggested, but she shook her h
Juliet slowly reached her hand out to his face and tried to caress his face like her heart was telling to, but Alex turned his face and moved a feet away from her... He knew he wouldn't be holding himself back if she did so. "I should get going," Alex said in a low voice and hesitantly looked away from her... Juliet sighed and wanted to face palm herself. Why was he confusing her this way... What was wrong with him. why was he acting? This way, all of a sudden, was she too fast? "Are you really going to leave again?" She asked him, eyes filled with confusion. She reached out and held his hand... Alex stared at her and had to fist his hand so hard that his knuckles started to turn white so he wouldn't kiss her... he wanted to hold her hand again and caressed her face... she was so beautiful and tempting... he knew he had fallen for her already... he fell for he the first time he saw her... he could feel his heart pumping so fast on his chest... The spark between them was mesmiring
